FREE SEEDS.

We have received five packages of garden
seeds from our congress man. We suppose this
is our share of the great free seed distrihu-
tion that the United States government has
made this season through its congressman.
Why this extravaganza We have vet to
meet the man who can give a reason for it.
1t surely is not to introduce new and vaua-
hle grains, fruits or vegetables among farm
ers and gardeners, for many of them fail to
germinate at all, 1t cannot ! e to find out in
what sections of the country certain seed
will produce the best results. Surely it can
not be that any congressman expects to in
fiuence any votes or single vote by few
cents worth of common garden seeds. What
is it for If any one can tel, we wish they
would 1t is a needless expense. 1t calls for
an extravagant appropriation and burdens
the mails with hundreds of tons of seeds,
adding large amount to the annual deficit
of the postoffice department. We have no
criticism to make on the original institution
of the free set distribution, to send out new
and rare seeds for trial or introduction. 1t
was not meant to buy beet and turnip seed
by the ton of seed growers and distribute it
broadcast in five cent p ckages. Away with
the tree distribution farces

Cardinal Gibbons on the Havana Situation

A solemn requiem mass for the repose of
the souls of those who lost their lives
through the destruction of the batt'eship
Mai in Havana was celebrated at the
cathedral in Baltimore Monday. In the
course of an address Cardinal Gibbons
said:
"Too much praise cannot be bestowed
on the president, on the members of bis
cabinet and particularly on the secretary
IF the navy and h,s aole assistant, as we'll
as on the houses IF congress. for the calm
ness and tr nqniljty, the self-control and
the self-possession which they have exhib
tied during the fearful ordeal through
which the country has been passing in the
last few days 1t needed only spark to
kindle great conhagraton. and the pa
tient and dignifed bearing of the legisla-
tive and executive bodies is all the more
commendabe in view of the mischiavous
and Incorporate utterances of some of the
sensational newpap rs.
''This nation is too brave, too strong,
too powerful and too Just to engage in an
unrigh'eous or precipltate war. Let US re-
member that the eyes of the world are up
on us, whose judgment we cannot despise,
and that we will gain more applause and
credit for ourselves bv calm deliberation
and masterly inactivity than by recourse to
arms. Thrice is he armed who hath his
quarrel just
'An able commission has been ap-
pointed by the government to investigate
the cause of the disaster. Let us calmly
and dispassionately await the result of this
verdict and not anticipate its judgment.
One thing is certain, this country knows
how in any emergency to defend her honor
and protect her interests"

GONE BACK.
Sergeant Kinkead has Started for his
Regiment-They win be at Gettys-
burg at the Dedication.

Sergeant Robert Kinkead of the
Second West Virginia passed through
here Friday on his way back to join
the regiment after spending some
time here and at Fairmont on leave.
He says that he enjoys the life very
much and that the regiment as a
whole has no cause for complaint
since they have changed the loca-
ton of their camp from this state
into Pennsylvania
He is going back in time to par
ticipate in the thirty mile march
across the country to attend the
dedication of the monuments which
this state has placed on the battle
field to mark the positions of the
various regiments from this state
which were in the fight. The exer-
eises are expected to be of very in
terestipg character and they will be
witnessed by great many people
from the state who had relatives in
the battle or who were there them.
selves. Besides these a number will
attend because they have relatives
in the regiment of young men who
will be there and they will want to
see them.
Gov. Atkinson and that gorgeous
staff will be there in all the splen-
dor of gold lace and gingerbread for
which it is SO justly admired where
barbaric display is at a premium

How the Second Regiment was Treat


Recently some OF the members of
the I'd West Virginia have been al
lowed to return to their homes in this
county. They are not looking well and
they complain Of III treatment. Nat
urally they don't care to talk about
their treatment at the hands of their
officers, but it will crop out. A rep
resentative of the Index met one of
them the other day and elected con-
siderable information from him. The
following is part of the conversation:
"Was there any time that the boys
of the Second were hungry and were
not supplied with enough food?n
''yes, on one occasion Company G..
-Standiford's Company-refused to
go on drill because the men felt so
weak that they could scarcely walk.
That day we had only one potato for
dinner and we had no supper at all.
Some of the men were scarcely able
to walk on account Of weakness.
'sDid the officers try to help get the
enlisted men proper food?"
mo, when we would mention it to
them they laughed at us. One evening
we were returning from drill when
some Of the men almost tainted near
some officers who merely laughed at
them and rode on. Many of the Mar
ion county boys, including myself,
buy our food in the CITY,"
And yet the government supplies
the soldiers with food. What be-
comes of it?-Fairmont Index.

A WALL FROM FAIRMONT.
The Expositor enyys us our pretty
and attractive girls and brainy men
who get positions here.

The Fairmont Expositor plain
lively observes: Forty percent of the
faculty at the University are either
Monongalia county men or have mar
ried MonOngalia county girls. No
wonder some of the other counties
kick.
Our friends ought not to hold spite
against our girls because they are SO
much better looking than the inhab-
tants Of other counties are used to
that when ever an out slider comes
here he falls at once In love with
them nor should he feel bad because
the men from this county are bright
er than those from other sections and
have more get there spirit in them.
Its not our fault years Of education
and environment have made us what
we are.
A good plan to follow would be to
begin raising pfettier girls and smart
er men and the things that he now
bewails will remedy themselves. How
ever in the meanwhile the movement
on the part Of the faculty to marry
girls in this county does not give
much promise Of stopping very soon.
