A SDlendid SUGGESTION.

Mr.. Griff Il. Smith is now being
spoken of as one of the Democratic
candidates for the Legislature next
year. Griff is popular fellow,
and if he is nominated will be
elected. We are for our young
friend, first, last and all the time.
Point Pleasant Register.
Mr.. Griff Smith is we'll known
throughout the State. He occu-
pied the position of chief clerk un-
der Secretary Ohley, at Charleston,
and also held responsible position
under President Cleveland at
Washington. He is now in the
hotel business in his native town of
Point Pleasant, and is popular with
every man, woman and child in
Mason county. If he desires the
office he will certainly be elected
to the next Legislature and will be
valub BILE member of that body

Thc Garter Sentence.

After delay extending over a
year and quarter President Nc
Kinley has at last approved the
sentence of the court-martial upon
this defauIting officer, which sem
tence imposed fine of $4,000 and
five years imprisonment. The
captain is now in close confine-
ment in casemate cell at Castle
William, New York harbor, under
strict guard. Later on he may be
handed over to the civil authorities
of New York.
The delay in finally determining
this case can scarcely be ascribed
to anything else than the u usual
influences brought to bear in be-
half of the prisoner. Final APP
proval of the sentence is as doubt
less due to the press and public
opinion of the country, which for
months has demanded action.
Late in the eleventh hour this has
come and one of the most remark
able cases in governmental history
is closed.
There will be public approval of
the punishment, inadequate though
it may appear; but the stigma of
delay will remain with the powers
that be at Washington, for at no
time has there been an adequate
explanation given for it.-Register.

Some girls melt and run all over
man and then make excuses for
being SO cold.
Most men get married the way
they play the races; they take the
long shots and then curse the fav-

AS far as comfort goes there isn't
any difference between marrying

DON'T Kick.

Do not criticise everything which
others propose to do. Possibly
you are not a leader yourself.
That may not be your work in life,
though whatever is your work may
be as important. But if you are
not to lead, just let some one else
do it. Probably there was never a
perfect plan devised by man; but a
poor plan we'll worked will accom-
plish more for mon or cause than
a good plan poorly worked. If the
plan of your brother does not al
together commend itself TO your
mind, do not seek to Kill it or
throw obstacles in the way of it to
defeat it but if the object is good
help some to accomplish the end
which is sought. Everybody does
and should despise the "dog in the
manger." FIX.

a NIonstroms Fraud.

Wheeling Register.
Philadelphia has for generation
been celebrated for it's immense
and steadfast Republican majority.
1T is good for $1,000 to 100000 for
the Republican machine nomina-
tions with the regularity of clock
work, and while it WAS generally
believed that this vast majority was
fraudulent one, no decisive steps
to ferret out the fraud were taken
until of late years. AT the last
election, there was reported plu-
rality of 80, SOL for Governor Stone,
and through the researches of the
Municipal League. it is now be-
lieved that from 10000 to 10000 of
these votes were fraudulent, while
1T is cumputed that as high as 3d.
COO unlawful ballots have been cast
in the city at single election.
One repeater has just pleaded guilty
to casting thirty seven bogus votes
at the last election, thereby multi
flying the votes of thirty seven hon
est men. This sort of thing is d
crime of the first magnitude, and
no punishment can be too severe.
There is moro than suspicion that
Wheeling and Ohio county were
not free from this iniquity in re-
cent elections, but adequate inves-
tigation was impossible. In Phil
adelphia the fraud is being sifted
to the bottom, and at the coming
election there will be marked de-
crease in the Republican vote in
the CITY of Brotherly Love.

Think it Sinful.

Tho conference of the German
Lutheran church of Illinois has
resolved that life insurance is sim
full. They hold that money and
goods can be rightly obtained in
only three ways-by work, by gift
or by inheritance. Money secured
by life insurance Is the result of
good luck or species of game
of chance; that life insurance is
against the first commandment be-
cause it takes q mans trust off God
and places it on the insurance
company; that it is against the
seventh commandment because by
it the beneficiary gets something
not paid for, therefore stolen; that
it is against the ninth command
ment because the person who in.
vests in life insurance is taught to
covet something not his own.
They hold, therefore, that life in
surance is sinful.
When we hear men saying or
writing menacity or degrading
things concerning the fair sex, we
often think what if there were no

and passionately speak ill of women
are not to be classed as mon, but
rather as insolent beings Women
are the light of the world; her pres
ence is sunshine equal to mono
except that of the Divine Master,
who has placed her among us as
our consider and our cologne of
brightness. Woman should be re-
spected if anyone is. Little do we
think of her influence and mitiga-
tiveness in our passions and peev-
ishness. OFT do we remember the
words of Sir Walter Scott, when he
wrote partly in satire and partly in
compliment:
Oh, woman, in our hours of ease,
Uncertain coy, and hard to please,
When pain and anguish wiring the
brow,
A ministering angel thou!

The iron hand of the trust is be-
ing felt to many neck and the
worst is to come. Every time you
close your jaws on piece of tough
beefsteak you can hear the sound
of trust in your ears AS you
walk the street the sole of your
shoe says trust at every step. You
tie piece of ribbon in baby's hair
and the word trust is marked there
on. The consumer in every walk
of life is forced to pay homage to
the trusts and like the large beam
in older mill the screws are being
made tighter and tighter until the
last notch is passed and the weight
becomes a burden and the trust is
heralded as prosperity boom.
If it be true, as Dewey says, that

more with fire and sword, as Otis is
now doing in Luzon, on the other
side of the Pacific. If the Flip
mos deserve subjugation, annexa-
ton or determination, how much

While Bryan was speaking the
othor day Republican interrupted
him with the question why he had
not gone to the war. The answer
was that he had rendered his SER
vices to the government and they
were declined. He then enlisted a
regiment and waited five months
for an assignment of duty. After
the war with Spain was terminated
he concluded that his services were
needed here at home to fight the
evils, consequent to Republican
policies, more than they are needed
in the Philippines fighting in oppo-
sition to the Declaration of indie
pendence and the spirit of Ameri-
oan political institutions. That
Republican has not been heard of
since and probably pulled the hole
in the ground after him.

That efforts are being made,
through the big newspapers, to les
sen public prejudice against trusts
is one of the signs of whatthe Dem
ocratio party will have to fight
against next year. It is evidently
to be the policy of the trusts to try
to lull the people of the country in
to a feeling of security by this
method.
Otis seems to be more worried
over the advent of the Chinese in
to the Philippine Islands than he
is over the suppression of the re-
bellion. And at the same time, the
administration seems to be moro
worried over Otis than anything
else. Perhaps solution will come
to both parties in little while.

AN INTERESTING MANUSCRIPT
PUBLICATION

In Sharon, Connecticut, is an old
stone mansion which has sheltered six
generations of one family. Packed
away in chests, barrels, and baskets in
it's wide garrets are many thousands
of gradually accumulated letters and
papers. Filling a portmanteau, and
perhaps left just as they were hastily
stuffed into it by young Yale, college
graduate in 1884 when he was quitting
the college dormitory for the last time,
was found motley collection of let
tiers, essays TRANSACTIONS, notes Of lee
lures, and accounts of expenditures.
Most interesting of all, for our present
purpose, are two diaries and three odd
copies of manuscript publication, ed
tied by the young collegian's sister,
Juliana Smith.
The Clio, Literary Miscellany was
legibly written in the script of different
hands. The ink is still of an excellent
black The large coarse-textured sheets
of foolscap are ruled down the center
of each page to form two columns, and
the several sheets are tied together by
cords of braided homespun unbleached
linen thread. The three numbers are
respectfully dated December 10th,
1880" January Goth, ISL and "Octo-
Der, 1881" They contain odes, essays
proverbs, puzzles, sketches, and jokes,
most of the last being of local color
ing that has not stood the test of age
The contents, particularly the sketches
would compare very favorably with the
larger part of the printed literary mat
ter Of the periodicals of the day. 1t Is
especially notable, considering the in
terest in polemics which characterized
the period, that we find no reference to
theological opinions.
Perhaps the disappearance Of so
many copies of The Clio is due to the
then precarious means of transporta-
ton; but, in view of the scarcity of
printed periodicals. 1t is more likely
that when the little papers were re-
ceived by brother jack they were
passed from hand to hand until they
were worn out or lost The three sur
