The Parsons Advocate very proper
" calls down the rotor crowd, in
their advocacy of Hon. Henry O..
Davis for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, by citing the fact that Mr.. Davis
is "a banker, a capitalist, a railroad
magnate and interested in many
other corporations. The Advocate
cannot discern the course of reasoning
bv which "bloated bondholder' can
be a Bryanite. 1t is as easy as falling
off a log. Why, if Mark Hanna would
worship the silver idol he would be
saint. Look at Sibley, Sewell, Bar
ker, Stewart, Jones. etc. Reason
does not count with that crowd.

The Statesman is informed that the
Herald published Mr.. Dayton's speech
and inserted his portrait, just as we
have published speeches delivered by
Senator Elkins, Hon. U. S. G. Pitzer
and others. We have no apology to
make for doing so, neither shall we
in the future refrain from publishing
that which we conceive to be of in
terest to our readers. Mr.. Dayton is
our representative in Congress, his
speech was timely, the subject one Of
interest, and we presumed it would
be app .eciated and it was, except by
those who cannot see any good in a
Republican.

The editor of the Statesman this
week makes an admission that few
men would be willing to publish.
His subject is Free Delivery for
Martinsburg, and an effort is made
to clear himself of the charge that
free delivery could have been obtained
some time since had he, as postmas-
ter. made the proper effort. The
claim is set up that it was impossible
and then the admission comes that he
consulted "Me, Alex and Smith, "
proposing that 1--WE would appoint a
majority of letter-carriers from the
Republican party. but they declined
with the remark that they would wait
a little while and get all the carriers. "
OF course they declined. "Me, Alex
and Smith" are not in the habit of en-
tering into such combinations. The
moral is that it is not safe for Demo
Gratis to enter into political deal with
or consult me, Alex and Smith" on
political matters.

Nervous Prostration.

DR.. j. Curtis Webb, an eminent Eng
lish physician, recently lectured on this
subject. The lecturer said that hysteria
vas a symptom Of nerve exhaustion and
was a state in which the ideas control
led the body and produced morbid
changes in it's functions. Ii allowed to
60 Oh uninterrupted, nervous exhaustion
and breakdown followed. The seeds Of
this really terrible disease were in 90
cases out of 100 sown and watered dur
ing the period Of education and training
of girls at and after a critical period of
life. Such cases were more frequent
Gince the introduction of the system of
higher education Of women, for the adj
vocates of this made the great mistake
of assuming that there was no real DIFF
ference between girls and boys between
the ages of Ii and 81. lie mentioned
the frequent occurrence of cases of
anema and breakdown among girls and
attributed this to excessive mental work
and the lack of healthy exercise.
He advocated golf, cycling, lawn ten
mis- and other games as a preventive and
corrective and insisted upon the neoes-
sity for regular indulgence in physical
exercise. 1t was not work which hurt,
but perseverance in work after nature
had held out her danger signals in the
shape of constant lassitude. loss Of ap-
petite and irregularity Of functions.
Nervous exhaustion sometimes occurred
as a result Of excessive physical exer-
else, and among middle aged ladies as q
result of worry. The remedy in the lat
ter case was to live easier and according
to rule. The complaint was also met
with in young children and was in these
cases generally due to the forcing Of
mental faculties or constant scolding
and nagging.

The Patriotism of the South (.

That the Spanish people as Il
rule totally misunderstood the
spirit of the American people IS
shown by the remark recently made
by the Spanish ambassador at
Vienna, who said that if the
United States, in the event of war
should entice the Philippines to
revolt, Spain could revenge herself
by raising reyolts in the American
Southern states.
There is no question but that in
a contest with a foreign power, and
especially IN a contest with
Spain on the issues presented, the
Southern states would be as
thoroughly loyal to the government
as any section Of the union. The
idea of Spain being able to ihcite
r~evolts in the Southern states is
absurd. IF there is any difference
the var feeling prevails more en-
Enthusiastically in the South than in
the North. The non-progressive,
slow thinking, r~evengefull Spain.
ards cannot realize that the war es
s5 years ago is over aud that the
Southern people now constitute an
integral portion of the UNION, and
are as ready to defend it as are
their brethren whom they fought a
generation ago. Let war with
Spain begin, and the enemy will
hear the rebel yell and the union
shout comminglcd on every battle
field aud in every naval engage
ment. They might as we'll think
of melting a revolt against the
United States government in Mas
sachusetts as in South Carolina.

Students, Pranks.

In The National Magazine W. II.
Leavitt tells some amusing stories of
the pranks of American art students in
Paris. Once the students in one atelier
hazed a newcomer by taking all his
money, putting him into a cab and Civ
ing the driver instructions where to
take him. When the cab halted, the
penniless student alighted and stood on
the curb. will you be so good as to
light a match?" said the student. ~
dropped o napoleon in the cab and can't
find it" Whereupon the driver whip
ped up and was away In a hurry.
A new student from Algiers amused
the studio for awhile by initiating the
sounds of various wild beasts and birds.
Then the fickle fellows tired Of it. So
one day. having prepared q big box
with breathing holes in it, they put the
mimic in it and kept him there three
days, at the end Of which time hs per-
formed only by request.

The spring of 1898 is not far
ahead. Are you ready to have the
spring work open? The horses
have not had much to do during
the winter and Of course they are
soft. They can't be brought down
to working condition at once, for
it must be done gradually, their
shoulders will get sore if the collars
do not fit, and even then they will
be all the better for being washed
with brine occasionally. AS they
are exercised to condition them for
thessspring work they will also
want to be brought into working
feed and will need an increase Of
grain, made so gradually that they
will hardly know it. Are the tools
and implements all ready and IN
good repair? Memoranda of the
repairs that they need should have
been made when they we're put by
q. the close of the season, for unless
YOU have a better memory than the
m ost of us you will be likely to
forget something that should have
boen done and only recall it when
you want the implement and then
time is lost at a time when there is
none to spare. Are the seeds ready
that you are going to use! Are
