Colonel w. H. Fl. Stowell has re-
turned to Duluth, after an absence of
eight months in Japan. 81 think, ="
says Colonel Stowell, "The future de-
velopment of our country lying on the
Pacific Ocean is going to be very
great. For centuries the Medi-
terreanean sea was the centre Of the
commerce of the world. During the
past 400 years the Atlantic Ocean
has been the great commercial centre.
The time is rapidly approaching, I
think, when the Pacific ocean will be
the scene of the greatest activity of
the worlds commercs. The Pacific
coast is a vast empire of ITSELF $50
miles wide and 500 miles long, pro-
ducing in abundance almost every
thing that is grown in the way of agri-
cultural products and fruit, and the
state still leads in the matter of gold
production"

Stones Hypocritioal Address.

Quay's nominee for Governor had
a speech prepared for the convention
after his nomination, but he was not
given chance to speak his piece.
The servants of the boss who COM
posed the convention had obeyed Or
ders in nominating his man, but what
the nominees views might be on pub
lie questions was of no interest to
them whatever. Probably they be-
lieved that he had no views except
such as his master allowed him to
entertain.
Candidate Stone having missed the
opportunity of hiring off his speech at
a convention that didn't want to hear
it, sent it out nevertheless, as if it had
been regularly delivered. Its most
notable feature is its effort to connect
his machine candidacy with the war,
and to give an appearance of patriot
ism to Quay's rotten politics.
A single passage will be sufficient
to show the hypocritical character OF
the address
"We are fighting the battles of AL
mighty God. Already grief sits about
the hearthstone ard tears are shed in
our State for the first of the fallen in
this war. - We of Allegheny
will not soon forget the Maine.
"Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget"
In accepting this nomination and
becoming the standard-bearer of a
great party in great State, I natur-
ally feel the responsibility that rests
upon me-"
Speaking of this bare-faced attempt
to disguise machine rascality by the
use of patriotic expressions and an
invocation to the Almighty, the anti
Quay Republican Philadelphia Ledger
says: at would be extremely diff
cult to compress into as brief form
so striking an example of the unseem-
ingly mixing of political and demo-
gogic platitudes with unconsidered
blasphemy."
There could not be a more severe
condemnation of Quay's candidate
than the above quotation extracted
from one of the most reputable Re-
publican journals in the State.
"Lest we forget" the real issue OF
the contest, in which the people of
the State are about to engage, it must
be born in mind that this man Stone,
whom a political, licentious, autocrat
has forced upon the Republican party
as its candidate for Governor and
who SO hypocritically prates about
"fghting the battles of Almighty
God," is merely the retainer of a
party boss by whose election to the
governorship vicious political ma
chine would maintain its misrule Of
this State.-Dem. WateAman.

The Fight Against Mr.. Getzendanner

A dispatch from Washington to the
Baltimore Sun of yesterday says:
A delegation of citizens Of Charles
town, w. Va, including both white
and colored men, of different political
parties, including several cIergymen,
appeared today before the Senate COM
mittee on postofices and postroads to
protest against the confirmation of
Lewis Getzendanner, nominated as
postmaster Of Charlestown. Gross I'M
morality is alleged against Mr.. Getz-
endanner and an effort was made by
the delegation to show that he should
not be intrusted with the management
of the postofice. Representative Day
ton, who is largely responsible for Mr.
Getzendanner' nomination, has asked
the committee to allow him ten days
in which to answer the charges. This
will be accorded him and the nomina-
ton will be held up until all the
charges against Mr.. Getzendanrer
have been thoroughly investigated.
Mr.. Getzendanner and his friends
are thoroughly stirred up over the
fight that is being made against him,
and will lose no time in refuting the
charges that have been brought. We
understand that he will appear before
the Senate committee tomorrow, ac-
companied by a number of Charles
towns most reputable citizens, and
will make a defense that is expected
to insure report favorable to his con-
frmation.

Memorial Day.

Confederate memorial day was OBJ
served in Shepherdstown last Satur-
day in the usual decorous manner.
At two o'clock the Confederate veter-
ans formed at the college-building,
and, under command of Col. w. A.
Morgan, and headed by the Shepherds
town Band, marched to Elmwood
Cemetery, where lie the boys who
wore the gray. The band played a
dirge as the pathetic procession of
old soldiers entered the cemetery, and
with barred heads the living slowly
marched around the graves of the
dead. The usual memorial service
was held at the monument, and then
the people gathered around the stand,
where the exercises took place. Rev.
DR.. Charles Ghiselin made the open
ing prayer. The speech OF the day
was delivered by Rev. c. H. Hockey,
who made most acceptable address
on the valor and patriotism Of the
southern soldier. A poem was read
in graceful style by Miss Nellie Stowe
Pentecost, and after benediction by
Rev. J. L. KILLER the graves of the
soldiers were strewn with flowers.
Excellent music was rendered during
the exercises by choir composed of
our local singers There was quite
large crowd present at the cemetery,
and the people seemed to appreciate
the spirit of the occasion. There was
no disorder of any sort, and the day
was one Of enjoyment and satisfaction.

Military Affairs.

Military Affairs.
The War Department at Washing
ton last week decided that West Vir-
ginia should send battalion of three
hundred men to fill up the First Reg
iment, instead of forming a new regi-
ment. This brought on a spirited
controversy between Governor Akin
son, who wanted to raise full regi-
ment, and the department officials.
1t is now stated that the Governor has
won his point, and that the State will
be permitted to send a second regiment,
besides the battalion necessary to FIJI
up the first. Assistant Adjutant-Gen-
eral Casteel wired Mr.. H. G. Getzen-
danner on Monday to send his quota
of thirty men for the battalion, and
Mr.. Getzendanner secured the desired
number from Martinsburg and notified
the Adjutant- General they were ready.
He is still enrolling members for the
new company here. S. B. Elkins, Jr.,
is to be first lieutenant and John Hen
shaw, of Berkeley county, second lieu
tenant under Captain Getzendanner.

State Convention of the U. D. C.

The first annual convention of the
West Virginia Division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy met in
Shepherdstown Thursday, June I'd,

president of the charter chapter, in

ton and bylaws Nearly one year

lose sight of the great regret that our

gloomy sorrow over this convention by
the illness of our most beloved and
admired historian, Miss Alice Pendle-
ton. Therefore, let Us extend to them
the heartfelt sympathy Of this conven-
ton.
Miss Grove then read letter from
the president of the chapter, express
ing her regret at her inability to be
here. After calling the roll of chap
tiers, the report of chapters was in or
der. The addresses made by Mrs. Eel
ton, of Georgia, and Mrs. Duncan, Of
Mississippi, at the general convention
in Baltimore in November, were then
read and listened to with great inter-
est as they called especial attention to
the work of the U. D. C. in the care
of the orphans Of Confederate soldiers,
and for the veterans.
After this came the election, when
the following officers were elected :;
President, Mrs. A. G. Langley, Of

Second Vice-President, Miss George
Strider, of Leetown Recording Secre-
tary, Mrs. Laura Fitzhugh, Of Charles
ton Corresponding Secretary, Miss S.
L. Powell, of Shepherdstown Treas
urer, Miss Lulu Burks, of Huntington.
Articles for a constitution and by
laws were offered to the convention,
and were adopted. The appointment
of the next convention was, by vote,
left to the newly-elected president. A
rising vote of thanks was given to the
directors for the use of the building,
and the convention then adjourned to
partake of lunch prepared for the
delegates, chapter, visitors and ad-
visory board. At the conclusion of
the lunch remarks congratulatory to
the ladies were made by each Of the
members of the advisory board who
were present, and by several members
Of the chapter.
A telegram was sent to the newly
elected president, notifying her of her
election. She replied as follows; "Tel-
egram received. Please express thanks
for honors conferred. VIII discharge
duties to the best of my ability"
