BEVERLY.

BEVERLY, w. Va, June Icon
federate decoration day was fittingly
observed here to-day, under the auspi-
ces OF Stonewalf Jackson Camp U. c.
Veterans and the Daughters of the
Confederacy. Large crowds assembled
in the morning from different parts Of
the beautiful Tygart Valley. It was a
pathetic sight to see the cid war be-
grimed veterans assembling in this an
cient but beautiful town. which they
had defended for four long years, to pay
the sad tribute to their departed COM
rades. 1t was touching to hear them
relate their "reminiscences of the late
war, and to see them grasp each other
by the hand in hearty, fervent hand
shake. A special train from Elkins
brought some of the ex-Confederates
and their friends, who were loaded
down with flowers. AT one o'clock
Capt. w. H. Wilson, Commander of the
Camp, formed a procession of the ex-
Confederates, who proceeded up TO Mt.
lser, followed by large crowd of la
dies, where there are Inferred about l25
ex-Confederates, a great many of whom
were killed at the battle of Rich Noun
tain, 1861, and were under the COM
mand of Gen. John Pegram, in his SIS
astTous campaign against Gen. Me
Clellan. Others were killed in the var
ious raids made around Beverly. After
appropriate ceremonies the graves were
strewn with beautiful flowers, after
which the vast crowd repaired tc a
grove, where they partook OF a boun-
tiful repast, prepared by the Daughters
of the Confederacy. Dinner being over
Rev. G. S. Lingamfeller, of the Davis
Memorial church, at Elkins. delivered
a beautiful and touching address on the
life and character of the Confederate
soldier, which brought the tears to the
eyes Of many an oldveteran. Mr.. Ling
amfelter is a fine orator and captured
the vast throng He was followed by
Col. d. H. Lilly, an old veteran, in one
Of his characteristic speeches, repiete
with many personal "reminiscences of the
war After the closing exercises a reg
ular lovefeast was INDUCED in by all
the old veterans. Mt. Iser, where the
soldiers are inferred, is on high knoll
overlooking the beautiful Tygarts VAL
ley, and is one of the prettiest locations
we know of for monument, which the
Daughters OF the Confederacy expect TO
erect in the future, for which they al
ready have a considerable fund, and
which they hope to have ready to I'M
veil next year.

OIL NEWS.

The Calf Creek Oil Company. which
is composed of number of Mounds
Vile people, and one or two Wheeling
gentlemen, sold out yesterday, Rev. F.
D. T. Buckley. of Wheeling, being the
purchaser, and the amount he paid is
$4,000 cash. The territory is all in
the Waverly field and the leases call
Tor something hike 300 acres. On the
land are about 16 producing wells, the
output being something like 200 bar
rels. Another we'll came in yesterday,
however, which was said would be good
for 125 barrels. If this be true the
output will be increased accordingly,
and the deal is a very important one
in oil circles.

WAGES GOING UP.

Tn The Republicans te,egraphic dispatches of few days ago
 was recorded the fact that the Thomas Iron works in Penn sylvania and several other big firms
 had voluntarily advanced the wages of
 their employes 10 per cent and that an other large concern had announced it's intention of taking a similar step with
 in 9 fortnight. The American Steel
 and Wire company of Chicago has re- gently done the same thing Without
 Q doubt other manufacturers have talk
 en like action which has escaped pop
 ular attention. A cut in wages always
 causes a cOmmotiOn which insures
 publicity, while an advance is received
 by employees with a quiet satisfaction
 and short-liVed comment which have an opposite effect. If it is not already far advanced, the movement toward great improvement in the condition of the lworkingman has begun and is bound to extend as the new prosperity increases, both in the matter of readier and steadier employment and better wages. What an act like that Of the big Chicago corporation. means is shown by the fact that an advance of 10 per cent to 36,O0O employes aggre- gates over .$1, 1,000. GOO a year, or 21A per cent on the preferred stock of the com pany, which represents money invest ed. A significant thing about the ad- vance is that it was made without sO- iicitation by enc of the biggest trusts in the country, so that here we have an institution whose kind has been de- nounced from one end of the country to the other as an Unmftig3ted evil taking the lead in sharing with it's enl- ployes the increased profits brought by better times. There IS anothe- i'm portant phase to this business. Trade has improved so rapidly under repu0ii- can laws that they are to be given credit as one Of the leading causes of this raise in wages. Last year there was an increased. demand from Europe and Asia for wire goods and nails. Our exports of cut wire and other nails amounted to 32212C00 pounds in 1896, as against 53,843, 900 pounds in 1897, and T, ,G57, GOO in 1898. This ratio of increase extended to all manufactures of irCn and steel, and to many other lines of trade, laying the basis for the benefits nciE accruIng to tha American workmen.

 The turkey was first discovered in America, and was t@i.en 10 England in the early rart Of tEc siNtcent h. century Since then it has been accIimated in nearly all parts of the world.

RHODES ON OUR FUTURE.

Cecil Rhodes, in an interview in
 Egypt. professed profound admiration for the United States and raptUrously
 described his vision of our growth,
 which covered the whole western hem
 isphere except Canada. Why should
 AIr. Rhodes leave Canada cut of the
 grand process of absorption which his
 minds eve" viewed? If it is our
 manifest destiny" to dominate MeEi-
 co. Central America and South Amer
 ica. Canada certainly would not be spared. Canada will herself knock at
 our door for adInittanCe to the union, and it will require no ''foTce Of arms
 to bring her ultimately into the big re- public. The large view Of MT. RhodeS as to CUT future expansion is the same eNrresscd by several American states men at intervals during this century There is doubt that the descendants of Senator F1oar, Colonel Bryan and other leading ccntractionists, who chaTac- terize the acquisition of territory over the sea by the United States as ''crime." will be loud champions of q pan-American republic, including Canada and may even insist on mak- ing Liberia a dependency and ac4ulI- ing all the hinterland Of that republic to Central Africa Most of the con trac3foniats say they see no "crime' iH anrexing contiguous territory, 50 they would not complain if Mexico was an nexed and then, Central America being contiguous, t would be no crime to annex that, and so on until all South America would be under our flag. Doubtless that will be accomplished some day.
 MT Rhodes is an e1pansionist Of the extreme British type. He arranged @ few years ago to expand British South Africa so Gs to take in the BOer republic of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State; but while his i'm mediate programme was frustrated. the movement he initiated is heading Up ard in few years the BOeTs will be British subjects. Our country is not intent upon any such mad career of conquest" It is said that "all things come to him who waits" and in the course of the century Of our national existence, good many things have come to IS and we have taken them in because expansion has been the habit nation. And, in expanding, the largest liberty of government has ree1 given to the absorbed peoples as they were able to appreciate ard Use it to their own best interests. MT. Rhodes vision Of tke vast expansion Of our western hemisphere republic will be verified in tine but it will inoluds Canada, and he must fecCIle rec0ncil- cd to that rosDect.-AIinneaDo Journal

THE FLAG REJECTED BY THE
 DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

We inquired on Monday whether any democrat would have the courage, foresight and patriotism to carry into the house caucus the United States fag and offer that emblem to the minority as the CnIy sane democratic policy with regard to the Philippine question and other questions of national ad- vancCment
 One democrat did just that thing. His name is Joseph Wheeler and he halls from Alabama and from Santi- ago.
 This AmeTitan, h0n0red and beloved equally in the north and in the south, warned the democratic leaders in con gress against the inevitable political results Of the policy they contemplate. He talked as he fought. He showed them the flag. He tCld the caucus in plain language that any party which fails to stand Ky the flag now will be discredited in the eyes of the country and of all mankind. He protested against the passage of resolutions de- h6eratcly committing the democracy to such an attitude.
 The protest did not avail What $ .JCe Wheeler in the present councils of the democracy as against Joe Bailey O. William Jennings Bryan? General Wheeler's status even in the caucus of democratic congrcssmen is doubtful, thanks to the constitutional legal re- searches Cf the other Joseph from Texas. Who is to advise democrats what resolutions to adopt? He is only Q hero. Q patriot and an Ameri- can. His title to represent the eighth district Of Alabama is clOuded. The only clear title General Wheeler has at present is to represent Santiago.
 So, in spite Cf the veterans protest and warning, in defiance of the flag which he planted in the caucus, Bailey and Bryan had their way.

A BIG EDITION.

Orders for the spring number of The Republican continue to pour in. It is probable that the original estimate of the size of the edition will prove to be too small. If any guaranty were needed of the worth of this edi- tion from the advertisers stand point the list of special contribu- tors would supply it. Every in terest in the territory will be dwelt upon in 'an entertaining way, to the end that the home seeker, the capitalist and the tourist may secure accurate in formation concerning this fla wored region. The illustrations will be all that could be desired in a publication of this kind. Merchants and business men generally who neglect to take advantage of the opportunity that will be afforded by the spring number to reach at least 5O,OOO people will be standing in their own light.
