THE soldiers of our army have borne
a good deal and have with patience
endured much suffering that should
have been prevented. Their patience
is becoming exhausted, however, and
they are becoming FESTIVE as they see
the continued Encouragement Of
military affairs.

government laid down by Washington,
Jefferson and Monroe, and known as the
Monroe doctrine; but we are unaltera-
bly, opposed TO the establishment Of any
imperial policy in the government OF
this republic which would tend to in
volve us with entangling alliances or the
complications likely to involve US In
wars with foreign nations, and which
would necessitate large standing army
in time of peace.
9th. We denounce the action of our
present Representative of this district in
the Congress Of the United States in
voting for the funding bill, WHICH in eff
feet would have given to the Pacific
Railroad the millions of dollars for which
they were Justly indebted to the govern
ment. and for his uniform support of
every measure which has been against
the interests of the people of this coun-
try.
18th. As citizens of this State we con-
denim the present State executive as
grossly incompetent, and we deplore the
humiliation of our people resulting from
the action of the Governor in his waste
full expenditure of public funds Of his
undignified and unwhOlesome conduct
in the pardon of man convicted of a
criminal ofense, coupled by statement
from him endorsing violence and tend
ing to Justify homicide; for his sacrifice
of public veal to promote his political
welfare and that of his political bench
men: for his favoritism and for his dis
regard of common fairness in the man
agement of the State guard and for IN
ecting partisan politics into the man
agement of our State militia.
And recognizing the Importance TO the
country of the success Of the foregoing
principles, we cordially invite the CO.
operation of all citizens Of this district,
without regard to former political atlilia-
tons who may have hitherto differed
with us upon whatever issues, believing
as we do that a united and harmonious
organization will assure us a great VIC
tory in the coming election.

RANDOM NOTES.

1t is a fact not generally known
that Shepherdstown is one the most
important points for the sale of agri-
cultural implements and farm machin-
cry in all this section, and some trav-
cling men say that more goods of this
sort are sold here than at any point
between Harrisburg and Staunton.
During the season recently closed our
two agricultural implement firms, a.
S. cambridge & Co. aud ]. S. Myers,
sold two hundred binders and mowers,
III of the former and SO of the latter.
This is a record that few towns of the
size of Shepherdstown can boast Of,
and speaks well for the industry and
push Of our dealers. Most of the sales,
of course, were made in this county, but
many machines were sold in Berkeley
county and in Washington county,
Nd. 1t is a pleasure for US to call
the attention Of the farmers of this
section to the advantages that Shop
herdstown offers to them in this re-
spect.

THE United States will take Porto
Rico and SPANS other possessions for
our own, and will virtually have to
govern Cuba for long time to come.
The question as to the disposal of the
Philippines is yet unsettled, and there
is great diversity of opinion as to the
best course to persue. Those who
favor the policy Of territorial extension
appear to be most active. and in all
probability their arguments will pre-
vail with the President and our claim
for these far-off islands maintained.
We will not get them easily, however,
for the insurgents and our forces are
already at odds. There's trouble
ahead for Uncle Sam in the Philippines.

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. I gave it such remedies
as are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief, we sent for a
physician and it was under his care
for a week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tons Of the bowels every twelve hours,
and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was recommended,

Our hustling friend from Berkeley
county, Grant Pitzer, has captured
the delegation from Morgan county,
which, added to the solid delegation
from Berkeley, will give him a strong
influence to start with in the Republ-

suppose the Republicans of Jefferson
will do the neighborly thing and give
him the delegates from this county,
as this is a compliment that Mr.. Pit
yer is entitled to on account Of his
readiness to serve his party here on
all occasions, individually and collec-

Hon. John r. McGraw is one Of the
best known Democrats in West Vir-
ginia. He isan Irshman and a lawyer,
talented and eloquent man. He Is
not unknown to our people here, as he
has in former campaigns spoken in
Shepherdstown to large audiences. He
is an active and energetic man, and
one of the shrewdest Of our politicians.
He has always taken q prominent part
in party management, and has stumped
the State over and over again. Bright
and bold, energetic and resourceful,
he will make dashing campaign, and
we predict Will give Mr. Dayton the
fight ofhis life. Mr.. McGraw is a resi-
dent of Grafton, and has extensive
business interests in various parts Of
this district, being connected with a
number Of important companies that
are developing the coal and lumber Of
the State. He is said to own more
land-mostly undeveloped-than any
other man in West Virginia. Mr.. Nc
Graw is forty years old and is unmar-
ried.

An old colored woman of Shepherds
town was taken to the poor-house last
week who is another victim Of the
harsh policy of our county commits
sioners which prevents the overseers
of the poor from extending any aid
whatever to the poor outside Of the
county alms-house. The statistics
show, we are informed, that it costs,
on an average, five dollars month to
maintain pauper in the alm-hOuse.
If this poor old soul had been allowed
about a dollar a month the county
would have saved four dollars a month
on her keep, and she could have been
permitted to end her days here among
her friends and been spared the ignom-
my Of going to the poor-hOuse. This
is but one of many hard cases that
have come to our notice since this
policy was adopted. There are some
Of our worthy poor who can manage
to get along on a dollar or two a
month, but this aid, which had been
worthily bestowed for many years
through the capable and conscientious
overseers of the various districts, has
been Withdrawn by our present court
which says to these afflicted ones
go to the poor-house or starve." We
have never yet heard one person ap-
prove Of this policy Of our county
court. It ought to be revoked. We
don't like RECOMMENDATION here any
more than we do in Cuba

Miss Helen Pendleton left with US
the other day some interesting old pa
pers and documents, among them be-
ing a copy of the REGISTER Of Nov. .,
1850, when the paper was edited by
McAnly & EntIer. A comparison Of
the REGISTER of that date with the
paper today is interesting. There is
not one item of a purely local charac-
ter in the old paper. There are many
well written articles, mostly reprinted
from other journals, but nearly all of
them relate to foreign matters. Polltl-
cal affairs have prominent place, and
are treated with much gravity. The
paper is dignifed and eminently prop
er, but we think would hardly prove
popular to the readers of these times.

fund of twenty five thousand dollars

keep every cash certificate issued on
the endowment plan covered with cash
deposited with the International Trust
company of Denver, Colo. The rates
of the Denver Life is only about one
half of that of the old lines, and all
paper issued by them is covered with
cash. Our citizens should patronize
this home institution literally and
cease sending their money east for
something they can get just as good at
home and at much less cost. MI.

in the latter days of this wonderful
century when there are so many induce

profession to adopt the light and frivo-

has the courage of his convictions to
execute, but is willing to sacrifice
pecuniary reward in order to give the
people what, he considers the highest
form of dramatic amusements. Such a
man is Sanford Dodge, the eminent

will be greeted with crowded house
which they so amply deserve. (adv.)
