The Governor ON West Virginia.

As is his custom at every opportun>
ity, Governor Atkinson in q recent
brilliant address before the Southern
and Western Congress in session al
Tampa, Florida, paid high tribute
to his own State of West Virginia
in the following brief words:
"Pardon me, Mr.. Chairman, in
conclusion, for special word for my
own native state Of West Virginia.
We think we have the richest and the
best located state in the Union. Our
eastern border is within fifty miles
of the national capital. We are
eighteen hours from New York and
st. Louis and Chicago, but few
miles from Baltimore, Columbus,
Cleveland, Cincinnati, Richmond and
Pittsburg. We have salubrious
climate, charming scenery, low-tax-
es, cheap, fertile lands, good schools,
well executed laws, and happy,
contented population. We have
more coal, oil, gas and timber than
any other state. We produced four
teen million tons of coal, one million
six hundred thousand tons OF coke,
ten million barrels of carbon oil, and
gas enough to blow up the Gulf Of
Mexico-all In the year Of our Lord,
1897. | extend to all of these de-
legates, and to all the good people Of
"the land of nowers,' cordial In
yitation TO come TO West Virginia,
cast your lots with us, and we will
guarantee to all of Won health. han

About Tramps.

But whipping posts and pillories
are not In harmony with modern civ
ilization, nor were they in the old
time effective remedies. The whip
ping post is relic of barbarism and
the pillory becomes farce on the
slightest proyocation. These relic
punishments are not the remedy for
the tramp nuisance. That can be
suppressed only by applying the real
punishment of compulsory labor,
which. to the professional tramp, is
punishment forte ct cure. The pro-
fessional tramp is not such because
the means of gaining an honest liy-
ing are denied him. He is vaga-
bond by free and selected choice.
The genus exists because of revolt
against labor There is work for
all who honestly seek it at some time
in their lives.
Some persons cannot plead that the
opportunity to seek work Is denied
them because of the existence of de-
pendent families, who cannot be left
to shift for themselves while the
breadwinner goes In search of work
1t is part Of their vocation to roam
about the country. They have no
families and no particular habits.
They are deadbeats ard bummers,
nomads from choIce aud because the
healthful discipline OF labor is oner-
Gus. They have no reputable ASSOC
Citations hecausp they do NOT enjoy
such an environment. The proper
way to get rid of such persons any
where is to teach them that he who
will work when he has a chance shall
have the chance. and he who does
not intend to avail himself of a
chance to work shall be arrested and
put to work whether he Will or not.

The Athletic Association.

The Athletic association at the
University held meeting Thursday
night for the purpose Of receiving
new members, and a number were
made active members Of the organi-
zation. The attendance was good,
considering the fact that there was a
show In town to draw the students
away from the University work. The
report Of the committee which had
been directed TO procure a charter for
tho club was received. Prof. Hodges
made rousing speech and section
of the constitution which had been
revised was read. The rolls were
opened for the enrolment of members
and good number put their names
down. The prospects are that every
student who amounts to anything as
such will become a member of the or
ganization. The interest in and en-
thusiasm for the scheme is very great
We wish the boys an abundant mea-
sure Of success In their efforts.

FELL DEAD


Joseph Graham, of Near Palatine a
Victim to Heart Disease.
Joseph Graham, Of near Palatine,
fell dead yesterday afternoon little
past o'clock while walking along
Washington street near s. G. Morris
blacksmith shop. He had been in
i'll health for a year or so but was
thought to be better for several weeks
past. Last Saturday night he was
over in town attending the auction
at Col. A. Howard Fleming's and
spoke Of being stronger than he had
been for some time. Monday he
came over to transact some business
and was walking with BAIL Layman
and Thomas Wilson when he fell
dead.
His body was taken into small
room belonging to George Gantz. A
large crowd was soon attracted and
a physician called when he was pro-
nounced dead.
Mr. Graham lived near Thomas
Carpenters back OF Palatine about
toree-quarters OF mile. He was a
farmer, well known throughout the
county for this has been his home
for many years. He married sister
of Mrs. Carpenter and to this union
two children were born. A son, Joe
who is working at lumber camp in
Canaan Valley, Tucker county, and
daughter Cynthia, the widow OF
DR.. H. Wayne Harr.
He has brother Thadeus in Hi
nois and brother George some place
in the West.
Mr.. Graham had many friends in
the tw towns who will learn OF his
sudden death with regret. Whe n
this is written the time of the fun
eral has not been announced Index.

POLITICAL DYSPEPSIA
Is the Newest AiIment Of the President.

To see our worthy president stand
ing up at gold plate dinner costing
fifteen thousand dollars in ten mil
lion gold dollar hotel, making a gold
bug speech to nine thousand million
gold dollars worth of gold bugs, was
an inspiring sight. Thus do our
chieftains tread that "plain way OF
life" SO essential to the national
health. The beauty Of the speech
was that it was a speech consisting
of words. 1t will not re-elect him
president, but he will hear it during
the opening of the next campaign II
he sticks his ear to the monograph.
He will not hear much of it after the
next national republican convention,
for neither he nor it will be in issue.
1t may be that Mr.. Mckinley is only
shedding his leaves and bark, but to
us at this distance, he seems to be
falling away piecemeal. An ordinary
man should avoid extraordinary din
ners and most extraordinary speech
es. 1t is our belief that the result
of that dinner will be political dys.

The war situation is the sole topic
OF conversation here. Every one is
absorbed in the topic and every
scrap of news is eagerly read and
added to the stock of information
about the situation. The opinion
seems to be nearly unanimous that
the destruction of the battleship
Maine is the work Of Spanish treach-
cry. 1t would be entirely in keeping
with the conduct of the Dons ever
since the war in Cuba begun They
have lied and practiced deceit about
everything that has been dorpa. They
are towards and are fond of stabbing
one from behind
On every side is heard the quiet
resolve that should there be any
grounds whatever to even suspect
Spanish treachery of the diabolical
deed TO welcome war to avenge the
death OF the hundreds Of brave lads
who were hurled to their death
while peacefully sleeping and unsus-
picious Of danger. Their blood calls
loudly for vengeance and the answer
to the call to arms would be heard
in every hamlet in the land. The
people here are willing to wait for a
thorough investigation and If there
prove to be anything in the suspi-
cions which are nov entertained
they want war and want it quick.
The citizens of this county have al
ways had a splendid reputation for
valor and the sons of the men who
have fought their country's battles
will prove worthy of their valient
sires. Let us hope however that
the terrible occasion may not present
itself and that the horrible explo-
sion ON the Maine will be known to
be due to unavoidable causes on
board the ship and not to outside
agencies.

what the Bachelor says.


There are two way to tell whether
a girl is in love with you; ask her or
don't ask her.
II a woman really has more sense
than her husband she never let's him
know she thinks so.
The rib was an afterthought. The
Lords first idea was to make Eve out
of Adams funny-bone.
1t always seems pathetic to father
to hear his little children say the an
gels must be like mamma.
Love is so pretty that the women
are never satisfied till they can get
one OF its wings to dust things with.
When you see girl eating an Or
ange with funny-shaped spoon you
can generally be sure that if she was
alone she would stick her thumb
through the rind and suck it.

of the Argus written by himself re-
Gently appeared in the Argus:
The subject of this sketch was
born at an early period of his exist
ence in historic old Fairfax Manor, :"
near Kingwood. As his right to vote
and hold Office is unquestioned, it
is not neces sary to give the exact
date, and being bachelor and still
at large, he prefers to let by-gones
be by-gones. The new Recorder be-
gan life very young and compare
lively poor. In fact, did not have a
shirt to his back when he came into
this world Since then he has man
aged to acquire tooth brush, pair
of socks and straw hat. He has
also managed to keep out of Jail, the
penitentiary and the Legislature, on
the theory thati is better for ninety
nine guilty men to escape than for one
innocent man to be punished. The
modesty of the writer forbids saying
any more on the subject, and we
