New York, July 30.-The close of the

in the dry goods market. There has

Outside of this and the activity i'll export

COTTON.
New York. July 30.-The cotton market
opened quiet mt Il decline of , to ) points

absence of Liverpool news tholidayl,
and bearish crop and weather news.
Shortly after the call there was Il reac-
tion on light covering by shorts, who
feared possible unfayorable developments
in the cotton belt over Sunday. Specu-
lation during the early part of the short
session was almost entirely for local ac-
count.
Late in the forenoon prices sagged off
under sheer lack of speculative support,
with the market finally dull at a net
loss of ? to points.
Port receipts estimated for the day at

Another Forward Movement.

Monday night at meeting of the
Board of Education, the Pollard sys-
tenn of teaching spelling and reading
was adopted for use in the ward
schools of Martinsburg. The Pollard
System was used in the majority of
the county schools during the past
year with eminent success.
The method is based on the sound
theory.
After overcoming the trivial diff
culties incident to the introduction of
a new method of teaching, the sys-
tenn will be found advantageous and
timesaving to the teacher as we'll as
interesting and profitable to the pu-
pill. The aim of the system is to
train eye and hand to work accurate
~ at the same time the brain is being
used. 1t possesses the merit, if the
work is properly presented by the
teacher, and if there are more grades
than one in the room. of keeping the
pupils employed in work that thor
oughly and practically develops a
new point or phase of the system
A constant application and lucid ex-
plantations of the rules will in time
render all pupils independent in the
art of pronunciation, enunciation and
spelling, ultimately producing intelli-
gent and finished readers.
The system is used in the best and
most progressive schools of the coun-
try and is recommended and Endorsed
by leading educators.
The Board of Education is to be
congratulated on the adoption of
system that tends to further advance
the schools, as we'll as to confer ines
Unable benefit on the hundreds of
children for whose education the
board is responsible.

he as full of glee as a three year old

far as | am able to see politics, as we
know the term in an every day way,
is A matter of ambition. The desire
for present and prospective is a craze
and it turns men away from principle
TO use any means to win. One who
thinks seriously and has some brains
rather fears than courts prejudice, the
unthinking citizen reverses this and
while virtue is admired as an abstrac-
ton it must be excused when it en-
tiers politics. OLD NICK

A cnNTEMPTIBLE PAIR.

The Statesman is shouting for Joy
over the result of the recent Republi-
can convention in Jefferson county, a
report OF which was given in our last
issue. An editorial in the Statesman
saws that the editor "of the Herald
was expected to be present at the con-
vention to run matters for Mr.. Day
ton, which is lie, pure and simple,
concocted by the writer and published
knowing it to be lie.
"Col. G. w. Il. Black, the old war
horse OF Republicanism led the tight
and CALAMITY did he lead it," says
the same authority. Col. Black, a
leader! Yes, he led the editor OF the
Statesman into trouble during the
last cam paign, when he vouched for
the genuineness Of a scurrilous attack
upon Mr.. Dayton, written by dis
reputable Democrat in Washington.
We wish to be correctly understood
A dirty scouudrel wrote the article;
Black vouched for him, and Boyer
published it. No other Democratic
editor in the State would allow such
filth in their papers. Then, to save
himself from serious trouble and pos
sible prosecution Boyer went to Mr..
Dayton and gave the whole thing
away charging it all to Black. He
Thought he was Republican and
responsible.
Now which of the two are most
contemplate? Boyer did not give
the name of the writer. Said he had
destroyed or mislaid the manuscript
and had forgotten his name. But he
remembers Black, Col. Black, and
piled it all on him. He is the same
Black, who, during the campaign Of
1894, went to Shepherdstown and
with a crowd of hoodlums howled and
yelled until they prevented Hon.
Geo. c. Sturgiss from addressing a
meeting. He is fine
leader-a counterpart of his proto-
type, the editor of the Statesman.

Parallel Cases.

The case of Gen. Wheeler is parallel
to that of Senator Getzendanner.
Gen. Wheeler was a member of Con-
gress, accepted a commission from
the President, entered the Army and
his seat was not declared vacant.
Senator Getzendauner was a mem
Der OF the Senate of this State, ac-
cepted a commission, entered the
Army and his seat was not declared
vacant.
Gen. Wheeler is a candidate for re-
election and it is possible he will not
be opposed. There the parallel ceases.
Democrats declare Capt. Getzen-
danuer shall be ousted 1t is crime
for him to fight in defense of his coun-
try 1t is patriotic for Gen. Wheeler
to do so. That appears to be the
Democratic idea. 1t seems to us in
these days OF loyalty and patriotism,
when party animosities and strife are
forgotten, when sectionalism is
buried, such a course as that pursued
by the Democrats of this Senatorial
District is not only shameful but rep
reheusible.
Senator Getzendanner will not re-
sign. Governor Atkinson will not
declare that vacancy exists and the
only effect of the agitation will be to
put to shame those who would punish
a man for offering his life upon the
altar of his country.

what the Herald long since predicted
he would do-quashed the indictment
against Mrs. Myra Atkinson, wife of
Governor G. w. Atkinson. 1t is

grace to the State. Since the jury
found Owens the principal in the
transaction which was claimed to be
illegal, there was no other thing for
the judge to do.

We reproduce an editorial from the
Washington Post on "Our Trade Pol
ICY" which is timely and true. 1t
shows what Protection has done and
some of the possibilities OF the future.
Democrats have criticised the Dingley
law, but in our opinion law which
enables us to sell twice as much as
we buy is very safe law. AS the
Post suggests the only danger is that
we are certain to break the other fell
lows if the present rate is continued.
Had it not been for the war conpell-
ing us to make heavy purchases of
guns and ammunition the showing
would have been still better. To gain
six hundred million dollars a year in
trade with foreign countries is better
than all the silver we could coin in a
hundred years. and every dollar is
worth one hundred cents.

1t is not amiss to state that at re-
cent Republican convention in Richie
county. P. w. Morris, editor OF the
Richie Gazette, requested an indorse-
ment for the nomination for the State
Senate, from the Third Senatorial
District. There were about $50 vot-
ers present and on a division he re-
ceived fourteen votes-one more than
baker dozen. In Berkeley county,
his Popocratic admirer went to bed
gold bug and rose silver-bug,
after he had vowed and declared he
never, never would yield, and made
himself so obnoxious to his own par
ty, that in order to attempt to save
something from the wreck, another
Democratic paper was started. Those
two worthless now come forth and en-
deavor by false statements to injure
the editor of the Herald. but as. they
live in very frail glass houses their
shafts are harmless.

Sistersville oil Review.
Mr.. A. B. Smith, formerly of this
county, but now editor and proprietor
of the Martinsburg Herald, holds at
present an appointment under Presi-
dent Mckinley and by virtue of which
he has charge of establishing a free
delivery in the postal service, In
speaking of our application for free
delivery, he says: "Sistersville is to
have free delivery sure enough. Hon
orable B. B. Dovener and Postmaster
Work were at the Post Office Depart
ment Monday and not only were as
sured that the matter was all right
but that it would be made special.
The Herald moves that Sistersville
makes Mr.. Dovener's election unani-
nous and calls upon the Oil Review
to second the motion. - The Oil Re
view favoring this move, rises to
second the election of Mr.. Doveuer by
reclamation, provided we get the free
delivery without any more red tape
or strings hanging to the proposition,
We mean business, and want no
promises, but the cold, hard facts and
action.
