The Shepherdstown Independent is ia
yorable TO Senator Faulkner as his own
successor, and says editorially: at seems
now to be pretty generally conceded that
our next legislature WIN be Democratic
on joint ballot. The most important
business before this legislature will be the
election of a United states Senator. We
believe that we voice the sentiment of
large majority of the party in this end of
che State, certainly in Jefferson county,
when we say that we believe that the best
interests of the State will be subserved
by re.electiDg Senator Faulkner, whose
ripe experience, gained by long term of
serVice in the Senate, renders him pecu-
Iiarly fitted for the position at this time.
when international questions of the great
est importance to the future of this coun
Try are to be settled for all time -ques-
tions which may determine the destiny
of this great nation. As statesman,
Senator Faulkner has few peers. This
fact is acknowledged snd recognized by
not only his own party, but by those Of
opposite political views, which has been
clearly proven by the positions he has
been called upon to fill by our Chief Elk
ecutive. It Gao be said that Senator
Faulkner'sreputation is both national and
international, and the loss of his valua
BILE services at this critical period in the
history of our great country would not
only be calamity to mis- native State,
but to the whole United States"

The manufacturers of Castoria have
been compelled to spend hundreds of
thousands of dollars to familiarize the
public with the signature of Chas. II.
Fletcher. This has been necessitated by
reason of pirates counterfeiting the Cas-
toria trade mark. This counterfeiting is
crime not only against the Proprietors
of castoria, but against the growing gen
Grafton. All persons should be careful
to see that Castoria bears the signature
of chas. H. Fletcher, if they would guard
the health of their children. Parents aud
mothers, in particular. oughtto carefully
examine the castoria advertisements
which have been appearing in thispaper

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec. s.-The Re-
publican scheme to deprive the Demo-
crasts of the legally elected Legislature
assumed form here a few days ago at a
meeting held between Senator Ell1ins
and Messrs. Scott and Atkinson, candi-
dates for United States Senate. Gen. G..
W. Curtin, the commander of the State
militia, was called into the conference,
as he may be expected to perform an I'M
portant part in the revolutionary pro-
ceeding.
At the suggestion of Senator Elkins,
to whom the seven Democratic holdover
Senators constitute a continuous night
mare, contests are to be inaugurated in
each of the Senatorial districts with a
view of declaring these seats vacant, and
to thus pave the way for the reelection
of the senior Senator in 1901.
kilograms have been sent to each Of
the defeated Republican candidates for
State Senator. to sign and swear to the
notices of contest which have been sent
in printed form to them. IF these notice:
be sworn to and served, the people OF the
State may know that the conspiracy is tc

it meets in January.

Hon. Henry q. Davis.


Now that the Democrats have a legal
majority in the legislature and have the
power to elect a Senator to succeed Mr.
Faulkner, many of the best citizens of
West Virginia. in whichever party found,
will regret to learn, as we do. frcm a re-
liable source, that the above named gen
thenan will not be candidate for the
place.
Mr.. Davis served the State ably. hon
orably and well in the highest Legislative
body in the world for twelve years; and
he is still full of vigor and all the ele-
meats that go to make the strong and
practical man. His valued experience-in
the councils of the nation and of the par
ty; his long and eminently successful
business career; his almost boundless en-
terprise and energy in the Development of
the vast natural riches of his community,
all point to him as the first citizen of the
State of West Virginia.
Those who have known Mr. Davis
longest and most intimately will join in
testifying to his strict honor in his deal
ings, to his high sense of justice, to his
integrity in all the walks of life. He has
at all times been devoted TO the best in
terests of the State, and has never fall
tered in his devotion and support of his
party.
Although not a candidate for the U S
Senatorship' no one will surpass Mr.
Davis in an enlightened and devoted in
terest in the welfare and success of the
Democratic party. He will throw his
strong influence in favor OF the election of
the man whom the party may select for
the high position named.

AT conference of temperance workers.
held ia Charles Town at the Court house
on Tuesday, November 29th, n committee
was appointed. with Instructions to COM
municate with the various churches. tenn
perance societies and philanthropic or
CARNATIONS Of Jefferson county, and in
vite them to send delegates to meeting
to be held at the Coust-house, Tuesday,
December Goth, for the purpose of organ
izing an Anti-Saloon League for Jeffer-
son county.
Pursuant to said instruction. you are
hereby invited to send delegates, not to
exceed six in number. to attend this
meeting; and churches having Sunday
school and a Young Peoples Society are
requesSed to have these represented in the
number of delegates to which each
church is entitled. Pastors viii he con
sidered ex-oficio members OF the conyen-
ton, and any person in sympathy with
the League movement attending the
meeting and not a delegate of any society,
will be admitted as member.
The Anti Saloon League movement
does not propose any new or novel plan /;
it is not intended 70 interfere with the
work of any other organization. 1t sim
ply undertakes to unite and harmonic.
1t is strictly non-sectarian and omni-pa
tisan, and hence it has no features that
might be offensive to individuals or sub
versive of its purposes.
The League plan is this Each church
and society elects representatives, and
these, together with the individuals elect
ed to membership by the League, consti.
tute the League. Thus it is proposed to
unite in one compact organization the
entire moral aud Christian force of the
community. which must surely be irresi-t-
ible.
Each League outlines its own work /;
forms its own lines of attack and moves
forward just so fast as the body is willing
to go. The plan is thoroughly practical
and very promising The motto of the
League is "The. Saloon Must Co." and
prompted by desire that our county
may contribute as MUCH as possible to
that end, aud realizing that in union is
strength, we extend to you this cordial
and urgent invitation. feeling assured
that you are in sympathy with all good
works for the uplifting of humanity.
