Saturday afternoon last Justice
Sincell had before him Joseph T.
Glotfelty and Courtney Fletcher, who
were arraigned upon the charge of
cutting a cows tail off. A large
number of witnesses had been sum-
moned and after a number had been
examined the justice held that he
had no jurisdiction as the evidence
tended to show that the crime was
committed in West Virginia and in
accordance with the testimony both
men We're discharged from custody.
The details of the case were not
gone into and no evidence was intro
duced which would either clear or
convict the men of the charge.

Dewey.

Our Admiral land admirably seems
bent on lowering records-not merely
world records, but, what is harder,
his own.
At Manila he did what had never
been before and may never again be
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES a great fleet,
armed with modern guns, without
the loss of life or ship! But this
enough, surely, for any ordinary NOR
tal-did not content him; so waiting,
with Yankee shrewdness, until the
war had as good as ended everything
else, in order that his blow might be
the last, he, with the aid of General
Merritt, proceeded to break General
Andrew Jackson's eleventh hour rec
ord all to pieces. Cooperating with
Merritt, he adriotly and most hui
namely seized the metropolis of the
China ocean, defeating and actually
capturing 1000 men, well armed and
within entertainments; and that, too,
with slight loss on shore and none at
all on shipboard, whereas "Old Hick-
ory," fighting from behind his cotton
bales, had eight men killed and thir-
teen wounded.
We are now Jingoes, but if the vel
fare of the United States require any
more fighting, let us do it while we
have this wizard with us. Victories

ter, He opened the war with an I'M

war, first in peace, and first in the
hearts of his countrymen.n

Americans are Generous.

The magnanimity of the American
people has been beautifully shown in
the treatment that has been given
the Spanish Admiral Cervera and the
prisoners with him at Annapolis and
Portsmouth.
The fear that some people had at
first that there was Fgoing to be too
much ''gusho over the prisoners has
not been realized. Wherever they
have been they have been treated
with unusual consideration. There
has been no doubt little too much
curiosity displayed by the crowd, but
the American people are great sight
seers. The tendency to make much
of theAdmiral was naturally enhanced
by the knowledge of his chivalrous
treatment of Hobson. 1t was one of
the really fine acts of the war, and de-
serves all the good things that have
been said about it.
1t did great deal to relieve the war
of the bitter feeling with which it
started. In the outburst of anger
over the destruction of the Maine
there was a disposition among por-
ton of the American people to regard
the whole Spanish nation as set of
towards and traitors, and to hold
them all responsible for the blowing
up of the ship. Cervera's act helped
to impress upon those who felt this
way that there were Spaniards wholly
incapable of this treachery. On top
of this incident came the tremendous
defeat inflicted upon Cervera's squad
ron. 1t is impossible not to feel some
sympathy fora man who went through
such a terrible experience as the Span
ish Admiral when he sailed out of the
harbor of Santiago.
So far as we have heard there has
not been single expression of ill-will
directed toward any of the prisoners.
In all the crowds that have gathered
about Cervera on trains, in the street
and at railroad stations there has not
been a single taunt. solitary note
that was out of keeping. When we
remember that the crowds which
gather on occasions of this sort are
not usually composed of people who
have the highest consideration for the
feelings of other persons, it speaks
we'll for the American people.
Probably the general weakness dis
played by the Spaniards on land and
sea and the unquestioned superiority
of strength possessed by the Ameri-
cans is responsible for the generosity
with which the Spaniards are now
treated.

Wanted in PENNSYLVANIA.

Thursday afternoon last Sheriff
Lee and Deputy Sheriff Brown went
up to Crellin and there placed Henry
Croft, of Pennsylvania, under arrest.
A reward of $50 has been standing for
some time for the arrest of Croft who
is wanted by the officials of the Penn
sylvania House of Correction where
he was serving a term of imprison-
ment for larceny and from which in
stitution he made his escape. Croft
was brought to Oakland and placed
in jail where he will be kept until re-
QUESTION papers can be procured for
his removal to Pennsylvania.
Yesterday S. r. Patton, an official
of the Pennsylvania House of Correc
ton, arrived in Oakland with requi-
ton papers and relieved Sheriff Lee
of his charge.

A FULL-FLEDGED naval constructor
with the relative rank of lieutenant,
such is now the position of Hobson,
the hero of the Merrimac episode at
Santiago. The rank is mere desig-
nation for the convenience of the
naval paymaster, and confers no au-
thority in the line. Possibly Congress
may hereafter set itself against the
allurements of the naval line lobby,
and render justice tardily to the staff
officers whose brilliant work has con-
tributed so largely to the glory and
fame of our naval power.

OUR brother of the REPUBLICAN, in
his estimate of Congressman McDon-
aid last week, hit the nail pretty fairly
on the head. but the files of the DEM
Ocrat will show that we sized the gen
tleman up as to ability, at least, some
time previous to his election, and we
have never seen any reason to change
our opinion since. We are glad TO see
however, that the scales have fallen
from our brothers eyes and that he
now sees clearly what was apparent
to us from the beginning-the utter
unfitness of the man for the position
to which he was aspiring. a stick or
a stone could have made as good a
showing in the halls of Congress as
the present Representative from the
Sixth Congressional District of Mary
land.-DemOcrat.
To the above we take no eXcep-
tions.

Tuesday Deputy Sheriff William
y. Brown went over to Kingwood
where he placed Bert Montgomery,
of Westernport, under arrest, charg-
ed, in an Indictment found by the
grand jury for this county, with
shooting and killing James Bissett at
a dance held in Bloomington more
than a year ago, an account of the
matter being published in these col
umns at the time. Montgomery,
when arrested by the deputy, signi-
fed his willingness to accompany him
to Oakland. He arrived here Tues
day night and was placed in jail He
will be tried upon the charge at the
September term of the court. Mont
gomery is a printer by trade and has
been working in the JouTn0I office
at Kingwood for number of months.

Last night Mr.. A. C. Wotring, of
Oakland, brought to this office a
number of plums which he raised on
a tree growing in his yard. The fruit
is large, juicy and palatable. Six of
the plums weighed a pound. Mr..
Wotring states that the tree upon
which the fruit matured had to be
propped to keep it from falling to the
ground so heavy was it ladened. a
specimen was exhibited to a gentle
man from the fruit district of Cali
fornia, who is summering in this sec
ton, and he was somewhat surprised
at the size attained and was of the
opinion that the plums of his state
never grow as large as those shown
him here.

The Maine "Remembered."

The action of the President in ad-
vancing Capt. Charles d. Sigsbee,
commander of the Inflated Maine, will
be heartily approved of by the entire
country. Captain Sigsbee has been
promotedfor extraordinary heroism"
"a quality he has shown on more
than one occasion.
In certain sense the blowing up
of the Maine may be regarded as the
beginning of the war, an opening
chapter in which Captain Sigsbee was
the leading character. How nobly he
bore himself on the awful night in
Havana harbor need not be recounted
here After the loss of the Maine it
was the desire to give him a first-class
cruiser or battleship, but there was
no available vessel, and he was placed
in command of the auxiliary cruiser
st. Paul. This ship he commanded
during the war, and always with sig
nal ability.
Off San Juan he fought and disa-
bled the Spanish tOrpedo-boat Terror
His most valuable service was the dis
covery of Cervera's fleet in Santiago
harbor, which he watched until the
arrival of Commodore Schley's squad
ron several days later Recently he
has been assigned to the command of
the Texas, which is all the more APP
propriate, as the Texas is a sister ship
of the Maine.
Through Capt. Sigsbee's services
during the war pertained largely to
scouting and patrol duty, this
circumstance was a mere accident due
to the Maine catastrophe. Under all
circumstances he has shown himself
to he a cool, courageous and capable
commander.
Captain Sigsbee will always hold a
fond place in the memory of the
American people. They will rejoice
to know that the Maine has not been
forgotten.

Ohio Valley Coffee Company Assigns.

PARKERsBURG. w. VA, Aug o.
The Ohio Valley Coffee Company, of
Parkersburg, one of the largest in
dustries here, went into voluntary
liquidation to-day, and Edmond L.
Nash was appointed special receiver,
with a bond of $4,000. The failure
was brought about by the war be-
tween larger coffee firms, as the com
pany could not compete with them.
The management claims they will be
able to pay dollar for dollar.
The above company is represented
in Oakland by Mr.. G. E. Headley, and
the news of the failure came as a sur
prise to him and his large circle of
friends and customers in town.

The portentous significance of the
war with Spain is gradually unfold
ing itself. We have discovered in
ourselves powers, tastes and tenden-
cies hitherto not even dreamt of, and
which are fraught with momentous
consequences, Absorbed in gather
ing power through internal develop
ment, we have been unaware of the
strength of our thirst for domain. We
have been rather inclined to criticise
the land hunger of our neighbors;
but the lions whelp has tasted blood,
and behold. he is a lion.

they are evincing a bulldog deter
mination to hold every foot of terri
tory conquered in honorable war, and
held through superior force. The
eminent gentlemen at Saratoga may
discuss the pros and cons as they will
but there is evidently no strength
anywhere to successfully face the ris
ing tide of imperialism. Against the

the warnings of experience are alike
impotent. Cuba, Puerto Rico and

doubtless be ours.
Races either live or die; they accu

or retrograde. The doctrine of the
survival of the tittest seems cruel, but
it is none the less really merciful

The history of the world has been
but succession of instances of vigor
overcoming weakness, of virility sup
planting decay; and were it not so.
progress would be impossible. Whilst
we may regret the decay of once
powerful and still proud race, and
may admit all faults that shall be
fairly charged to ourselves, it cannot
be denied that there will be less cruel
ty, less suffering if the stronger and
more element Americans shall bear
rule in the conquered Spanish islands.
Whether it shall or shall not be bet
ter for ourselves, this we know: Our
civilization will come as a blessing
rather than as blight to the peoples
upon whom it shall be imposed
Sympathy for the Spaniards is lost in
the larger sympathy for the unfortu-
nate islanders, who have suffered
through centuries of misgovernment.
1t is right, eternally right, that those
who cruelty misgovern should not
govern at all.

THERE is a wide difference of Opin-
ion as to the Cubans between General
O. O. Howard and most of the army
officers who have come in contact
with our allies. While General How
ard describes the Cubans as brave,
good and pure, some of the officers at
Santiago say these natives are not
better than the Indians, and will be
quite as hard to tame. There is
doubtless a mean between these eX-
treme views. When the Cubans shall
have obtained the opportunities
which orderly, peaceable and free
government can confer on them they
may not prove the saints described
by General Howard in his benevol-
ence, but they may become good
citizens

As EXPLAINED by Archbishop Ire
land in a statement made after Il ser
les of conferences with President Me
kinley the transition of religious
bodies in Puerto Rico from their long
established status as beneticiaries of
the Government to position Of indie
pendence under American institu-
tions will be attended by no difficult
ties, and need not be considered by
Military or Peace Commissions. The
Church in these islands, says the Arch
bishop, has the full form and strength
of complete organization, and is well
prepared to care for her interests
without the help of State or Of char
liable aid" There will be changes
in the hierarchy, of course; but these
will come only by degrees, and in
entire harmony with the methods of
ecclesiastical administration prevail

IF your baby is delicate
and sickly and its food does
not nourish it, put fifteen
or twenty drops of SCOTS
Emulsion in its bottle three
or four times a day and you
will see a marked change.
We have had abundant
proof that they will thrive
on this emulsion when other
food fails to nourish them.
1t is the same with larger
children that are delicate.
SCOTS Emulsion seems to be
the element lacking in their

DR.. Charles Zimmerman, of Freder-
lex, has invented a flying machine
which he says will sail safely and
evenly through the air. 1t looks like
a huge kite, and DR.. Zimmerman says
it will lift twenty pounds for every
pound of resistance. An operator,
weighing 1G5 pounds, to lift himself
and a machine weighing 30 pounds,
will have to develop 10 or 20 pounds
of propulsive force in order to over
come the motion of the wind and to
continue advancing. The maximum
power will be required to get a start
when there is no wind, and by mode
of operation sufficient power can be
developeded to advance in the air,
and when the wind is blowing the
power required will be reduced to a
minimum.

ENGLAND's purchase of 10000 tons
of coal at Newport News, Va, where
with to stock up her naval stations
may be merely a transient bit of
trade. 1t is worth while, however,
to remember, in the craze to get coal
ing stations around the globe, that
we are something of a coaling station
ourselves, and have not as yet fairly
begun to develop our capacity in that
line.
