THE Republicans Of Harrison
county have not in any way been
offensive or persistent in their
demands upon sic administration
for federal patronage. Several
fat plums have fallen to other
counties and 10 some Instances
a oumber have been given TO the
same locality. We desire to call
the attention of our friends at
washington to the fact that Har-
rison county has always stood
by her colors. Some Of our best
party workers have been highly
recommended for positions at
Washington, and SO far we
have heard of no favorable action
in their behalf. Men who have
spent the best years of their
lives in the service of their coun-
try and party deserve recognition
when it is possible for it to be
given. We are not kicking but
we do not think the West Vir-
ginia patronage has been fairly
distributed.

WE believe the board of direc-
tors of the Girls Industrial
school will satisfy the people of
the State generally if they decide
to locate the school at Clarks-
burg. The TELEGRAM has work
ed diligently to bring about such
a decision and is the leader OF
the movement to bring il to
Clarksburg. When the act ere.
ating the institution was on its
second reading in the Senate. the
editor of the TELEGRAM made a
strong effort to have the bill state
that it should be located here
and while it was then decided to
leave the matter of a location to
the board, when appointed. the
fact that Clarksburg was prom
inently in the race for it has
never been lost sight of. In adj
dition to the locations offered by
members of the TELEGRAM COM
pany our earnest appeal last
week moved Col. Camden Som
mers to heroic action for which
he has our thanks. The institu-
ton will certainly be located
here.

THE New York Sun one of the
Oldest and ablest OF American
Democratic newspapers gives the
calamity howlers black eye in
the following editorial comment !:
prosperity for all is here, not
a prosperity Of mere paper and
hope, but actual, tangible, resting
on the lndisputable and conviac-
ing of the fact of agricultural
prosperity, without which gen.
eral prosperity in this country
cannot today exist. The days
of croaking are past. There is
work to do and money to be
made by everybody who is not
loafer or an incompetent. The
people of the United States are
gong to work and to make money
The prophets of disaster will fine
their occupation gone. The
politics of disaster will be made
futile by this period of gooe
times which has begun"

THE wheat crop is especially
good all over the country and
best of all the price in New York
last week was So cents a bushel
as against 60! cents one year
ago. 1t may also interest free
silver advocates to add that bar
silver one year ago sold for 69i
cents while at present it is quot
ed at 500 cents. Where is Coins
theory that the price of wheat is
dependent upon the price OF sill
yer. Notwithstanding the large
crops the price of wheat keeps
up and silver goes downtown
until now it IS within one-half a
cent of the lowest notch it ever
reached.

Mr.. Marcus Pollasky arrived
here from Michigan on last
Wednesday looking as happy and
handsome as of old. Apropos of
this we might add that Col. Pol
lasky took prominent part at
the recent National Republican
League convention at Detroit.
He was an enthusiastic supporter
of his friend Hon. L. ]. Craw-
ford, of Kentucky, for the presi-
dency and adopted very dra-
matte but effective method to
assist Crawford. The plan was
for some delegate to place Pol
lasky in nomination for the pres
idency and at an opportune time
thereafter Mr.. Pollasky was to
mount the platform and decline
in Crawford's favor. The scheme
was carried out to the letter,
Pollasky made speech of great
power and one that started a
stampede for Crawford and as
sured his election. Quite an
ovation was given Pollasky and
on the following day he was
called as president pro TEN to
preside over the national conven-
ton.

1t is an axiom of economics in
the United States says a contem-
porary that when the farmers
are prosperous the whole country
is prosperous. In 1897 the con-
dition Of the farmers is better
than it was before in half dozen
years. The crops are large here
and small abroad. which is one
reason Why the increased home
supply will be accompanied by
gooo prices. Another reason is
that the general business situa-
ton here is improving steadily
and rapidly, and this will greatly
increase the home demand.
