why nc mas Lived.


One of the most remarkable in
stances in history of political lon
gevity is shown by the life and
continuity of the Democratic party.
There must be reasons why a
charm SO substantial hovers around
the party of Jefferson and jackson.
These REASONS are:
L. The Democratic party laid
the foundation of our national con-
stitution, and the first ten amend
ments; through the wisdom and
influence of Jefferson, it made that
instrument acceptable to the liberty
loving citizens of the land.
2. 1t has been wise enough to-
know that all is not gold that gilt
tors, and that human nature is the
same yesterday, today and forever.
3. 1t knows enough to know
that man official is the tyrant of
man individual; and it knows also
that the chief concern of man
throughout all ages, has been to
discover how to protect himself
against the burdens and cruel OK
actions of his fellow man.
The Democratic party has been
wise enough to keep close to ma
ture and in this knows the differ
ence between snob and saint
it knows the difference between
lantern and a jack o'lantern-be-
tween sense and sentiment-be-
tween patriot and pirate-be-
tween craftsmanship and stupidity.
The Democratic party has al
ways been between the people and
power and because of this it has
been called the party of negation,
an honor unintentionally applied.
The Democratic party has been
the balance wheel of the nation.
This party, which came into ex-
istence at the birth of the nation,
has withstood the assault, of priest,
speculation and power. 1t has
stood between the masses and cor
porate greed; it has stood out for
man against mammon, and to-day
it is the only organized force that
stands as menace to those who
would destroy the liberties of the
people.
The party sallies forth to fight
the battles of the people against
the ruthless hand of Republican
rascality)and the rapacity of the
rich and it demands in behalf Of
the people, peace and amity, anc
that their voice shall not be hushec
in the scramble for place ant
I power.
, 1t does not believe in violation
, of all the laws of order and moral
ity which link mankind together.
1t does not believe that the III
terest of society can be subservet
by permitting its partisan oppo
, nents to waylay, rob and murde
the liberties of the people in be
+ half of party profir.
These are some of the reason
q why the Democratic party ha
q lived and maintained such vitalit!
r through all these years of our nat
9 ional life, a strong, immovabIe anc
indestruotible force; and SO long a
it lives the liberty of the people
will be safe.-Ex.

About one month ago my child.
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. 1 gaveit suoh remedies
as are usually given in such cases,
but as nothing gave relief, we sent
for physician and it was under his
care for week. AT this time the
child had been sick for about ten
days and was having about twenty
five operations of the bowels every
twelve hours, and we were conyin-
ced that unless it soon obtained re-
lief it would not live. Chamber

An Awful Habit.

The practice of men in besmir-
ching the character of women has
become chronic habit with great
many in this place. The young
man who thinks he is considered
i'smart" because he relates his So
called blaze exploits, in which wo-
mans character suffers, deceives
himself woefully, for every decent
man sets him down as foul
slanderer and liar. He
may, and often does, succeed in
running the good name of the wo-
man, but at the same time every
man with a spark of decency left
in his body looks upon the SLAM
derer as vile brute whom he
would kick out, out of his house
should he find him calling on his
sister.

Mrs. Atkinson, wife of Hon.
George w. Atkinson, Governor of
West Virginia, has offered prize
of $500 in gold for the best all
around young woman student in
the West Virginia University.
Governor Atkinson established a
similar prize last year for the best
all-around young man student in
the University, and this attracted
so much interest and attention
that Mrs. Atkinson has decided to
give prize to the young women.
There were over 200 young women
students in the University last year.

MAD DOG PANIU.
Wayne County People Again

Man Bitten.

H q
HUNTINGTON, July 29th The
western section of Wayne county
about the mouth of Whites Greek,
is much exercised over the appear
ance of mad dogs i'll that communi-
ty. On last Saturday one of the
rabid animals appeared in the
neighborhood and it is said to have
bitten number of other dogs
Saddest of all, however was the
fact that it bit Mr.. HenSon john
son, one of the prominent citizens
of Whites Creek. Mr.. johnson
has gone to New York to be treat
ed at the Pasteur Institute, having
left yesterday.
For several months there has
been more or less trouble in the
northern and western part of
Wayne county on account of hy-
drophobia among the dogs, and it
now seems that some action of a
vi yorous nature should be taken
by the authorities.

full prophecies had been rolled off
the troubled souls of our good Re-

meeting. The Is to l men would

urated. Instead of which all was
peace and harmony. Our friends
on the other side may as we'll real
ize, first as last that leading Dem
ocrats throughout the country
fully understands that far more
important issues than 16 to 1 are
coming forward for 1900. That
while the principles of bimetalism
is eternal, 16 to l is mere moi
dent of a day, and liable to be
changed by one years work among
the great gold beds of Alaska and
other parts of the world. The true
ratio between gold and silver may
be 16 to l in the opening years of
the next century and it may be 20
to 1, or ten to one. 1t would be as
absurd to cling to 16 to 1 as last
ing principle as to make the price
of oats 30 cents bushel the Dem
ocratic rallying cry. The battle
ground of 1900 will be chosen by
the Democracy, with wide choice
of issues, and no Republicen adj
vice will be sought in selecting
that battle ground.

AN EFFICIENT ARMY.
IL the One Maintained by little Swift

al Cost.

It has long been a matter of wonder
that Switzerland should be able tomain-
tain an efficient army for less than
$50O,000. She could in case of emer-
gency put 100000 troops in the field
in two days, with 100000 more in re-
serve, besides $1,000 militia. The Swiss
have been peculiarly strong fighters
since the dawn of European history,
running all invaders from the Romans
to the French by their never-say-die
mode Of warfare. Almost every man in
the present Swiss army is marksn21,
as shooting societies are substantially
encouraged by tie government. The
equipment is most simple, as each man

LIFTING POWER,
A Statistical Estimate Of the Aver
age Mans Power at Vary
ing Ages.

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages
of development and decline: our phys
ical strength increases up to certain
age, and then decreases. Tests of
strength Of several thousands of PEG
pie have been made by means of dyna-
noaeter strength measui cry, and the
following are given as the average fig
ures for the white race:
The lifting power" Of a youth of +
years is $50 pounds; in his twentieth
year this increases to 800 pounds, and
in the thirtieth and thirty-frst years it
reaches it's height, $50 pounds At the
end of the thirty first year the strength
begins to decline, very slowly at first.
BY the fortieth year it has decreased
eight pounds, and this diminution con-
tinues at slightly increasing rate until
the fiftieth year is reached, when the
figure is $50 pounds.
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t is not
possible to give statistics of the decline
of strength after the fftieth year. as it
varies to large degree in different in
dividuals.

SNAKE CHARMERS.
Hardy American Indians Who Carry
Deadly Rnttlers in Their
T. Mouths. r

1t is generally supposed that the ser
penis exhibited by snake charme1s
have been deprived of their fangs, and
this is doubtless often the case, while
one instance at least is recorded in
which the mouth of the snake had
been sewn together to prevent it from
biting, says the Westminster Review.
The writer noticed at the Ceylon exhi-
bition, given some years ago in Lon
don, that one of the snake charmers,
finding the cobra he was exhibiting
becoming too lively and aggressive,
seized the reptile by the neck and thrust
it hastily into the small round basket
in which it was carried, at the same
time pushing it with volu1ninous
white cloth, at which it bit savagely
Having almost closed the lid of the
basket, the man drew away the cloth
violently, thus doubtless dragging out
the fangs which were fastened in it,
He then secured the basket and car
ried it away.
This, Of course, required a large
amount of cool courage, as well as
great quickness Of hand and eye, all
which qualities must be doubly reces-
sary in capturing and tanning these
deadly reptiles. But if we are aston
ished by the skill and dcxterity dis
played by Indian snake charmers, still
more must we marvel at the hardihood
of the American Indians, who, in their
snake dances, not only handle the dead
ly rattlesnake with IMMUNITY, but abb
solutely carry it about in their mouths.
