out wildly. 1t Is picture of
youth. There he stands, in ma

stretches out invitingly before him.
There sits his mother. She is look
ing on him with pride and Joy and
hope and confidence. He is her first
born and is about to take Fathers
place. Father is too feeble to work,
and this young man in whom is CEN
tered all the hope of the family, goes
forth to fight the battle of life for
his loved ones. Now watch as he
returns home from his daily toll, ra-
diant with the flush of early man
hood. He is utterly unconscious
that in the paths that lie before him,
there turks dangers, sin and despair.
Thus he goes on smilingly to his
fate. Time goes by, aud now we
find him the associate of men far
older than himself. Men, too, in
whom the world trusted, and in
whom the mother had implicit con-
fldence. Never dreaming for a mo-
ment of danger to her boy, the
mother gave her consent that he
might sleep at night with them in
their business houses. Alas! Alas
that such things could be; and yet
those men were what is commonly
called might drinkers All fair
and serene by day, but, after busi-
ness hours, see them drinking and
carousing and making "a night of

him to bed night after night. Fin

as he reels home to that devoted

there see the tears that flow from

that their son and brother is beastly
drunk. Time rolls steadily on.

the mothers prayers and tears f,ll

asked how it was he had no repre-

value of my goods in plain language.
They are always attentive to busi-

never miss an appointment, and they
are at work early in the morning till

conditions can be easily solved. by the

for their comfort and protection from

one-thlrd the men they have sent from

fact has led to grave apprehensions cnn-
corning the possibilities when It be-
comes necessary to garrison the im-

establishment Of a stable government.

out that these apprehensions are I'M

The Democrats OF the Second district
yesterday nominated by reclamation
Hon. John T. McGraw for Congress
without opposition, the evidence being
that the convention wac so overwhelm-
ingly that way that It was unnecessary
for others to apply. Col. McGraw, it
will be remembered, discovered, in 1894,
that Mr.. Dayton was mo joke" and was
frank enough TO admit Il. His manage
ment of that campaign for Mr.. Wilson
and his prominence in connection with
the management of the state campaign
in 1896. as national Committeeman, have
convinced him that the whole Republl-
can party Of the Second district and of
West Virginia Is no Joke. This year he
will more than ever convinced, handI-
capped as he Is by reaffirmatiOn Of the
Chicago platform. for which the Second
district has no idea of voting.
Mr.. McGraw is shrewd in his polFncal
methods. and an active campnIgner, but
ME admitted oratorlcai ability will
hardly convince the Second district
voters that an abandonment Of the safe
national policies and the sound money
system are good things to undertake Mt
present Bryanlsm is a hard load to
carry this year. Organization and
unity on the part OF the Republicans will
hold the Second district in the RepublI-
can party,
