BE Charitable.

When adversity or misfortune
comes to business man of estab-
lished repute in a community the
only sentiment should be that of
sympathy for the changing forces
of business, which sometimes
make wreck in few hours of a
life-time's effort. None are exempt
from the shifting dangers of un-
seen conditions, and many bust
ness wreck is strewn upon the
shores of unavoidable catastrophe
Adversely is not a crime, nor is
misfortune an inference of wrong
doing. Parkersburg Sentinel,

officers Are After the Gang.
Porter Edwards, charged with
counterfeiting, mention of whose
arrest we made yesterday, was
arraigned before U. S. Commits
sioner, III. r. Howard, Thursday
afternoon. After the hearing of
the evidence, and considering the
admissions of the prisoner, that
he had moulds and dies for making
coins of the various denomina-
tions, he held Edwards to answer
a federal indictment at the June
term of the U. S. Court, at Park
ersburg. His bond was fixed at
$500, and failing to furnish it, was
remanded to Jail.
There is said to be bad gang
of fellows on the lower side of
Kanawha, running through from
the Ohio river to the county of
Kanawha, and the arrest and
holding of Edwards, will do much
toward breaking up this gang, as
other important arrests are likely
to follow.

What an Exchange saws.

An exchange remarks that
good many people pray one way
and live another, and that they
admit that life insurance is a good
thing but do not buy any. The
observation is susceptible of am
other construction, which is equal
ly true, which is that they admit
the value of fraternity but do not
practice it any. Every order is
infested with those who have TAX
en- solemn obligation before their
brethren and called upon their
God to witness their pledge. that
they viii abide by the principles
and laws of the order, and prac-
tice its teachings. They do this
after having been informed that
the laws and principles of the or
der require that they should deal
Justly with their fellowmen, pro.
tect the good name of their breth-
rem against SANDER and calumny,
and IegaIQ with oll1Ll. 1 ~ E4llts,
shortcomings and errors of others,
as they wish to have thcir own
treated in the same manner; and
yet, after learning to what they are.
pledged, and taking the solemn
pledge, they miss nc opportunity
to suspect their brethren of evil,
and to assert their suspicion with
the assurance of established fact.
It is, perhaps, needless to argue
the case with such brethren.
When they have failed to learn
the lessons of the Order by its
teachings, the best means of in
structing them is to enforce its
discipline, and thus make them
understand that their obligation
means something. -Overseer.

Huntington Advert1ser vs.. ii on.

JAS sCapel1ar6s
Hon. Jas. Capehart happened to
be in Huntington the other day.
and the Huntington Advertiser of
the Esd inst, makes his appearance
there a preteSt to personally assail
him, and calls him an Anticipated
politician, and uses many other
unjust and uncalled for epithets.
The Advertiser seems to think that
he should not be allowed or per-
mitted to become a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Congress. No doubt Mr.. Cape
hart's record on the silver question.
while in Congress. does not meet
with the appreciation of the gold
bug Democratic hackers and con-
trollers of the Advertiser. But
still that is no excuse for the vile
and malicious attack by the Adyer-
tiser upon Mr.. Capehart; and we
are glad to learn that the assault
upon Mr.. Gapehart,sis condemned
by the leading Democrats of Hunt
ington, and that the Advertiser will
be forced to make an open apology
to the gentleman whom it has as
sailed in its columns.
The Register is not espousing
the cause of Mr.. Capehart's candi-
dacy, no more than is it that of
Hon. Rankin Wiley or Hon. JAS.
B. Menager, all of this place. But
still we feel it is our duty to defend
Mr.. Capehart from the attacks of
the Advertiser, as we would that of
Mr.. Wiley or Mr.. Menager, or any
other Mason county Democrat.
The course pursued by the Ad-
vertiser is only calculated to get up
bad blood and create dissensions
in the party. at time when the
party should be united upon all
questions, and particularly upon
the nominee for Congress.

Reward for Dewey's Men.

Officials of the Navy Depart

4635 of the revised statutes au-
thorize the payment of bounty of
$1OO for each man on an enemy's
ship of war that is destroyed in
action. Reports from Manila are
that the Spanish fleet was double
manned, in the expectation of con-
quering the American feet and re-
quiring prize crews for the cap
tured vessels. In this case it is
likely there were at least 1000
men in the Spanish feet, which
would mean an aggregate premium
of 100000 to be divided among
Admiral Dewey's sailors.
