The statesman's Tale of Woe.

The Statesman's Tale of Woe.
The editor of our highly esteemed
contemporary has the happy faculty
of disputing himself in almost every
issue. In his last we find tLefollow
ing
Judge J. J. Jackson, of the United
States Circuit Court in this district,
appointed last week Messrs. job n
Lyons and Everett Marshall, tn e
manager and treasurer, respectively,
of the Brooklyn Brass Manufacturing
Company of this city, at Parkersburg
last week. The company has been in
bad condition for several months
owing to dissension, among the Of
ficers, Mr.. A. H. Hogg the president
being at variance with the other
officers. Mr.. Hogg has been selling
the products of the factory on a per-
centage and it is claimed that he sold
lots of goods for less than cost in
order to make his percentage. The
factory is regarded as being in better
condition than ever before by the
radiance of Mr.. Hogg. The receivers
have the authority TO borrow money
and to operate the plant.
"Martinsburg has during the past
! week, received another large sized
chunk of Mckinley prosperity, but
not of the variety promised last fall.
This time the prosperity comes in the
appointment of receivers for the
Brooklyn Brass Manufacturing Com
pany"
'Maior E. H. Mcdonald has Just
sold and delivered to Mr.. c. F. Wall
forty-three lambs which averaged
$4.2 He has sold, from a flock of
seventy-seven ewes, lambs and wool
to the amount of $3.50, and has still
on hand for June market fifty-six
lambs"
"The good times which were to
come Immediately is clearly farther
away than ever and now the people
are crying out in their despair: How
long, Oh! how long, Marcus, how
long?"
Now that the Mayor has renowned
the faith of his fathers, he should for
the sake of honor refund those con-
tributions. We will accept a remit
lance of S.. Yes, take him to your
bosom, Mr.. Herald, you are welcome
to the adder for you will feel his fangs
before long with as bad effect as the
Democracy has. Nominate him for
Mayor next spring and we will make
it so hot for him that he will imagine
that he is on an excursion through
hades."
"a number of good Republicans
stepped over the line to help elect the
Democrats and they have the thanks
of those whom they helped"
Since the heavy rain Monday the
Statesman has frightened up until it
resembles a poke shoot-so soft and
tender aud green. This week it is
beautiful to the eye, but we greatly
fear it will fade ere the leaves fall.
Just now it is very bitter in its de-
nunciation of Mayor Henshaw, all we
presume because he would not wear
that suit of sackcloth which was prof
fered him.
A year ago the Statesman was
lauding Mayor Henshaw to the skies.
Then the Statesman changed its
course and because the Mayor would
not follow, he is is now denounced as
an ladder" Such policy is GER
tainly not complimentary to the intel
ligence which presumes to guide the
destinies of the people.
The colored ban and baseball club
came over to this city from Hagers-
town, Thursday, accompanied by a
crowd of other visitors. The baseball
team of this city were too sweet for
the Hagerstowners and won the game
of ball in the afternoon by a score of
81 to IL. The baud and baseball clubs
had a street parade at o'clock and at
night a cake walk was held at the
Central opera house.
