Two YOUNG men of this village
have discovered a new and very
moral way of keeping the Sabbath;
which consists of winding up a
quarrel over \ billiard gan.s, with a
fight. Where are the people who
were SO anxious to have peace and
harmony in this community! Why
do they crawl into their holes when
brought face to face with a propo-
sition to secure peace and harmony?
THE SILVER STAR has made prop
osition to subscribe $I.oo month
towards employing a constable in
this precinct, and as yet no one has
had the nerve to step up and put
their names to the list with a like
amount. THE SILVER STAR has
begun a crusade against lawlessness
in this community and proposes Il
stay with 1t. We are not made o
that composition that causes maj
to talk this way on one occasion ant
that way on another. Let thos

W WASHINGTON
LETTER.

AAA = - 4IAVs |
From our Washington Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Mar. az, 1893.
SPANISH gall can go no further,
now that Spain has made the charge
that the presence Of a fleet of U. S.
war vessels at Key West, and the
active preparations for war which
are being made by this government,
are responsible for the failure ofau-
tonomy in Cuba. 1t is we'll under
stood in Washington that the only
object Spain had in charging this
country with causing the failure of
autonomy, which was declared to
be failure by Senor de LONE as
long ago as last January, was to at
tempt to make some of the Euro
pean governments believe that the
United States had schemed to make
autonomy failure in order to have
an excuse for driving Spain out OF
Cuba. That it is lie makes 10
difference to Spain, for the heathen
Chinaman is novice in lying,
trickery, and general cussedness
compared with the Spanish states
man who boasts Of his pride. Our
feet will remain at Key West until
it moves on to Cuba, and our war
preparations will 90 right ahead, re-
gardless of Spain's charge, or its ef-
feet upon any European govern
ment, or governments.
When will Mckinley make public
the report of the Maine court'
That is what everybody is asking
everybody else in Washington. 1t

official report. and certain that he
knows what it is. Mystery now

Sistersville, w. Va, August 10
During the past twenty-four hours
rain has been falling in this section
almost necessarily, and judging from
the meagre reports received from the
interior of the county, there has been
a great deal of damage done. All day
yesterday the rain fell in torrents, and
the small streams in the interior which
have been very low for a long time,
were in a few hours changed into rag
ing rivers, which carried everything
before them. Elk Fork Creek was
perhaps the worst enc, and the dam
age done by it will amount to several
Thousand dollars A report received
from that section this morning was
to the effect that several bridges had
ben washed away, two or three tanks
destroyed, and several rigs badly dam
aged. Practically the same state of
affairs exists along Middle Island,
Indian and Buffalo creeks, though,
perhaps, to as great an extent as
along Elk Fork. The inclement
weather has been very damaging to
tie farmers. In a great many sec
tio2s they have been unable to har-

The Liverpool news was enough to cause
an advance of I'D bushel in September.
1t was not sufficient however. TO main
tain this markets half-hearted sympathy
very long. The heavy traders fixed their
attention on the promised abundance of
home crops. The treated the smallness
of current receipts and reports of unfav-

and in some instances expressed their
undisguised contempt for any considera-
ton. outside of the alleged fact that this
would yield 7oo.eoo.OOO bushels, and that
Europe would need less of it than usual.
The northwestern grain men appeared
eimilarly impressed and were advising
their friends here of the near approach of
liberal receipts which had been temporar-
lily arrested by the vet weather of a
