 The social and political conditions of the Anglo-Saxons, wherever they my be found, have given to the human race in the past and still give the largest measure of lib-
 erty, justice and humanity that can be
 found upon the earth. Liberty of con- science, of worship, of speech of the press, of travel without passports, of entry to occupations, schools and universities, are the common right of every citizen of England and the United States. It is only because we are habituated to them that we fail to appreciate these blessings as we would do if we had personal experience in less favored lands. The certainty of jus tice in our courts purity of judicial ermine, the humanity shown both to suspects and to convicted prisoners contrasts powerfully with other countries which it would be easy to name. The constitutional method of ventilating grievances leads to their re- moval and prevents the secret canker of discontent which ripens into sedition and leaQS Into OtntT tO cohuitiohS VI bloody revolution and stern military re- pression.

 The English language is spoken today by more human beings than any other language, and is in itself the greatest bond of political, commercial, literary and social unity The combination of the imperial might of Great Britain's naval strength with that of our own powerful republic, Is sufficient in itself to command and control the waters of the earth and to enforce peace and liberty and justice so far as re- lates to the countries which are largely ac- cessible by water.

 The Excellent Crops Following those of 1S97 crops have been satisfactory in everything as to quantity, and in nearly every product but cotton as to price, and this has changed the financial status of this nation. Up to this date in 1897 we had exported s16.416,000 more gold | than we imported during the year 1S97 but during the present year and for the corre- spending period, we have imported 7.251.- 900 more than we exported, besides which large amount of sterling exchange is be- ing carried as a temporary investment by American banks against which the gold could be shipped at any moment at the will of the owners of the exchange. We are, in fact, instead of borrowing money from creditor nations lending to them and our rates of interest in this country on the best collateral have been for much of the present year below the rates in European countries. In this way we have proof of the prosperity of the country in its chang ing from debtor to a creditor nation. The

 The Result of the Elections F Whilst there may be found in Alabama many adherents of the free coinage of silver, they are not found amongst busi- ness men, and certainly not amongst fnan- ciers and capitalists. Therefore, without caring to resuscitate question which I consider dead and buried,as the silver ques- ition was thoroughly debated on its merits prior to the election in November, 1896, submit that no one can doubt the result of the recent election will be:
 3s First-By giving control at one time to the republicans of president senate and house to enable the enactment of such legislation as may be found necessary to perpetuate the present gold standard
 Second-That capitalists in every country being committed to the maintenance of the gold standard will be encouraged by such action in this country to reverse the cur rent which has followed so strongly the election of November 1899. and instead of drawing capital away from this country, they will commence to return it here in large volume.

MORTALITY AMONG CATTLE.
Great Numbers Clipped According to
 Regulations Have Died

Guthrie, o. IT., November 23.-Great num- bers of cattle clipped according to the new quarantine regulations have died during the recent cold spell in this part of Oklahoma. Out of herd of 300 clipped last week, fifty have died here in two days.
 Cattlemen protest against clipping, and declare that cattle cannot endure cold weather after being clipped. They say that practically no feeders will be brought into Oklahoma unless the live stock sanitary board reinstates the open gates. The gov ernor will call a meeting to consider the complaints of the cattlemen against clip ping. It is probable that the board will sus- pend the. clipping regulations during part of December

MACKEY ARRESTED.
The Former South Carolina Judge ia
ken into Custody in Philadelphia,
charged with Bigamy.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 22.-
Thomss j. Mackey, who is said to
be an ex-judge of the circuit court
of South Carolina, was arrested in
this city to-day on charge of biga-
my. According to Mackey's story
he is the victim of persecution. He
has nearly reached the four score
mark, and the woman whom he
claims to be his legal wife is but %
years old. Her name was Bertha
Porterfield, and until her marriage
to the judge she lived with her par
ents, who are said to be prominent
people of Charles Town, w Va.
They were married about a
month ago at the girls home, and
from there went to New York.
While in that city she claims to have
learned that her husband had an
other wife. He is said to have explain
ed that he was married in 1891, but
several months later his wife told
him that she had another husband
and the judge left her. He did not
see her again, he is said to have de
clared, until his visit to New York,
and therecpon learning of his second
marriage, she threatened him with
arrest
For time he paeified the fears of
wife No. ? by declaring that he
would have the first marriage an
nulled, as it had never been legal.
But the status of affairs reached the
ears of the girls parents and war
rant was at once issued for Mackey's
arrest. He was arraigned before
Magistrate Jermon in the afternoon
but the hearing was postponed pend
ing further investigation BY the po-
lice.

rhe knights Templar Conclave.

The 9th Triennial Conclave of
Knights Templar, to be held at
Pittsburg, October 1914, will con
stitute the largest and most brilliant
gathering ever witnessed in Penn
sylvania. The citizens of Pittsburg
have evinced such remarkable de-
gree of public spirit in connection
with the conclave celebration that it
is now taking on enormous proper
tions. To walk through the busiest
streets of the city during Conclave
week will resemble a street through
fairy land. AS far as the eye can
reach will be the glitter of countless
thousands of electric lights. Some
of these designs are marvellous in
their conception On the roofs of
some of the higher buildings will be
seen Knights in full armor on horse
back, which will be constantly in
motion. Others will have heroes
seize Knights in armor that will go
through regulation drill evolutions
with their swords. On the highest
hilltop of Allegheny will be seen the
gigantic figure of Knight in full ar
NOR on horseback which will be CON
stantly in motion. All along the line
of parade, both in Pittsburg and
Allegheny will be placed at regular
intervals beautiful arches all ablaze
with many colored electric lights.
One business building will have its
entire front covered with Old Glory
IN electric lights. Over 10000 lights
will be used in this place alone and
alternating currents will be used
making it as though the flag was
waving in the wind The parade
will take place Tuesday, Oct. IL,
and bids fair to be an event never to
be forgotten

Governor Atkinson Refuses to order
the Election.

In behalf of VIM r. Campbell,
chairman of the Democratic Sena-
torial Committee, of Charles Town,
Secretary Ohley, Of the Democratic
State committee, saw Governor At
kinson to day and got from him an
authoritative statement thathe would
not order the election of persons to
fill the vacancies caused by the com
missioning of Senators Pierson and
Getzendanner as officers Of the
United States army.
The Governor says these Senators
have not resigned their seats in the
Senate, and he is not aware that
their joining the army necessarily
vaeates their office as Senators.
1t is understood that Chairman
Campbell will apply to the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandamus to
compel the Governor to order the
election OF successors to Pierson and
Getzendanner.

DO The Best You Can.

Many mortal loses heart at times,
and does his work perfunctorily and
poorly, because the idea takes pos
session of him that he is not getting
on as well as he expected. He looks
ahead and sees no brighter prospects
before him, and sense Of gloominess
and discouragame comes over him
and robs him of all zeal and earnest
ness.
1t may be impossible for us to avoid
falling into this train Of thought at
times, but little consideration should
show US the folly of it, Discourage
ment and despair will not mend
matters ia the least for US, be cur
situation what it may. They only
serve to make things worse. They
magnify mole hills into mountains.
They make us apprehensiye of events
that are destined never to enter our
lives. They create within US an UNI
healthy frame of mind, and when the
mind is diseased the body is sure to
suffer.
The true philosophy of life consists
in doing in the best way we can the
work that lies nearest to our hands,
and moving down the best way we
can, allowing the future to take care
of itself.

HERE'S A CHANCE.
For Seine Live, Energetic Hangman.
Mr.. Van Hise doesn't want the job.

NEW YORK. Sept. 22-The rumor
has prevailed that James II. Van Hise,
for years the chief executioner OF New
Jersey, was going to South America
in his professional capacity. There
was an advertisement some days ago
in New York papers from South A.
merican state announcing that the DO
sition of hangman was vacant and
offering So, 900 salary to new incum-
bent.
''There is no truth in the report
that | shall apply for the position"
said Mr.. Van Hise in Newark yester-
day. THE fall outlook here in New
Jersey is good, and South America is
a long way from home Yes, the sala-
~ they offer is good-suspiciously so.
Why don't they employ a member of
their own community? A local man
for the local neck is sound theory and
sound practice.
Hangman Atkinson, of New York,
who has disappeared from notice since
the introduction of the electric chair
at Sing Sing, may renew an occupa-
ton gone and turn up an applicant for
the South American position.

They had talk in the yard and

more to do with him. He drew a
revolver and shot her in the fore
head. She died almost instantly.
He walked short distance to the

TWO CENTS
A BIG DEAL.

Connecticut Capitalists Purchase the
Holly River Lumber Company Plant
and Timber Land from Hon. John T.
McGraw.
WESTON, w. Va, Sept. %. Tho
most extensive timber deal thas has
been consummated in West Virgin
la for number of years was closed
to day. L. o. Havener, of Charles
ton, the Southern manager of the
Crosby Il Beckley Company, of New
Haven Connecticut, purchased for his
company an immense tract of timber
land in Braxton and Webster coun-
ties on Holly river. The property
was owned by Hon. John L. McGraw,
of Grafton, and is known as the
Holly river plant. The timber on
the land will amount to between
twenty-five and forty million feet of
the finest grades of oak and poplar,
and the cash consideration is about
100000. The Crosby &c Beckley
Company have been extensive oper-
ators in the State for several years,
and the purchase of this timber
will place them at the head OF the
list as the heaviest hardwood opera
tors ia the state. The company has
also secured control Of the large
band mill at the mouth of Holly riv
er, with its complete outfit OF plan
ing mills, dry kilns, etc, and the six
teen miles of standard guage rail
road extending from Palmer, on the
w. Va, d p, into the mountains.
The manufacture Of lumber from
this large belt Of timber will begin
at once and will require three years
to complete the work. The mill has
a capacity of $4,000 feet per day
and will employ seventy five men.
Logs will be delivered to the mill at
the rate of a million feet per month,
and one hundred men will be EN-
ployed in the woods. The closing
of this deal gave the owner a good
price for his valuable holdings and
puts the New Haven people in the
hardwood field upon an enormous
scale, besides giving employment to
quite large force OF men for sever
al years.
