ELECTION METHODS OF 1900.

The approaching campaign will be
engineered by the Republican party
ontactics totallydifferent from any ever
before adopted. They will not combine
with the railroads to carry voters into
certain states so as to pack those states
for the Republican nominees as was
done in 1896. They will not go out and
openly buy votes and suborn the press
as they did then. They will not attempt
to levy an enormous campaign fund as
before. They will not close factories,
shut out labor, starve worknen, and
do many things of this kind as they
did in 1896, but they will If possible
put every factory and mine to work.
They will just before the election fill
newspapers with bogus want adver-
tisements for labor, they will advance
| wages Il palJry 10 per cent. they will
see that cattle and corn and wheat and
cotton are Kept to good strong prices.
aud with all these conditions they will
carry the voter as the devil did the
Savior to an exceeding nigh mountain
which mountain we will call Prosperl-
ty Peak. and from this eminence they
will show him all the wealth at his
feet, and all these shall be bis if he
will only fall down and worship them.
Mark Hanna can easily play Devil in
this role. He would be a bit stout but
he will do, and the role will be played
and the stupid voter will, we suppose,
fall flat on his face. He has done it
for many years and the Republicans
say will do it again. Money usually
succeeds in causing the commission Of
any crime. Combined and used in this
way it may cause an enormous one in

WILLIAM A. BURNETT.

| William A. Burnett, the county clerk
of this county, died on last Saturday
| the 23rd inst. His death is noticed
elsewhere at length. but here we wish
to speak of him as a public servant
and as a man. He came to this county
a boy and was employed in the clerk 3
Office of our county by the late Jeffer-
son Kinney. He served under him and
afterward under Gen. John d. Imoo-
den, until 1866 when he was himself
elected to the office, and we venture
that no such official record stands to
the credit of another citizen of ' IT.
ginia. For "a years as clerk he served
his constituents with fidelity and
zeal seldom equalled. il ever surpassed,
and SO ingratiated himself in public
favor that his retention in Office was
never question. Had he been less
faithful, OF less slave to his official
duties, his life might have been longer,
for it can be truly SAID that be wore
himself out in the discharge of his
official duties. Our whole people will
recall how faithful he was, how ready.to
serve them, how he was always at his
position, and the records of his Office
and the Judges Of our county court and
our Boards of Supervisors will testify
to his efficient work and his pains
taking labor as well as his uniform
politeness. In his domestic relations
be was the same kind genial person as
elsewhere, devoted to his family, q
model husband and father. AS deputy
and as clerk he had well nigh served
half century, and now that he has
laid aside his pen, and rests from his
labors, it can truly be. said of him
SWELL done thou good and faithful
servant"
The death of this quiet. unobtrusive,
Christian gentleman, has cast a gloom
over town and county, and we convey
to his family and friends the sympathy
we feel and have so often heard ex-
pressed.

FaYoritlsm to a New York Bank.

The New York World in a special
article says:
James Stillman is today the most
powerful man in New York finance. In
Wall street he is regarded as the domi-
nant factor of the American financial
field. AS president OF the National
City Bank, which will now receive
$500, 1000, 900 yearly of the Governments
money without paying a Cent for che
gigantic privilege, his power to sway
the money market is practically I'M
limited.
Much of this money will be distrib-
uted to other banks, it is true, but it is
figured that the National City will
have the use of about $40. 100000 a
year, free of all charge, and $40, 000,O0
in cash is formidable club with which
to batter Wall street in time of excite
ment.
Stillman's strength lies in his back
ing. In this qualification he is pre-
eninent. Here are some of his back
ers:
John ID. Rockefeller.
William Rockefeller.
Henry III. Rogers.
John D. ArchbolG.
The National City Bank.
To these must be added:
The Government OF the United
States ands
About 10 corporations and multi
millionaires.
James Stillman has one ambition in
life. That is to make the National
City Bank in this country what the
Bank of England is in Great Britain,
the Bank of France in France, the
Bank OF Germany in Germany.

PULP MILL NOT GUILTY.

| Inasmuch as the West Virginia
Pulp and Paper Company has now be-
come a part and parcel Of this Com
monwealth, and is erecting at Covipg-
| ton the largest mill of the kind in the
South. our people feel interested Of
course in their welfare and prosperity.
1t is known that the city of Cumber-
land has tor some years waged a very
relentless and what seems now to be a
wholly unjust war on this corporation;
unjust we say because a jury of Mary
landers at Hagerstown on last Friday
found verdict of mot guilty. in the
Cumberland prosecution. The case
was one Of great interest and had been
instigated, it is said, by clique of
small politicians at Cumberland, in
the hope of making name and some
fame for themselves by pulling the
leg" of the Paper Mill. But they
found a foeman worthy of their
"steal." Their efforts were met at
every turn, the most eminent counsel
We're employed, and these called to
their aid the most eminent chemists of
the country, among them Prof. Nal
let, of the University of Virginia. The
trial lasted seventeen days and was
had before full court of three judges,
and jury of the best intelligence of
that very intelligent community OF
Hagerstown, with the above result.
But the costs were enormous, ard
these now fall upon Allegheny county,
the county of which Cumberland is
the county seat, hence the gloom
which mars Che yule tide festivities OF
those who instigated and conducted |
this prosecution. We learn that they
who got Allegheny county into this
plight are now explaining how it hap
pened and are hunting a scape goat, |
and that one of the goats is Professor |
Mallet. Doubtless We will soon hear |
of bribery and corruption, and oaths !
and maledictions will flow freely. AS |
a matter OF fact the prosecution was
not popular even at Cumberland. and |
at the last election the prosecutors
were booted out of office bag and bag
gage. 1t is a further truth that the |
Potomac water, from which Cumper-
land draws her supply, has not been
used by Cumberland for domestic pur.
poses for many years, long indeed be-
fore the Pulp Mill was built. All tt. e
sewage of Piedmont and dozen other
towns, all the mine water from
George 3 creek which is rank poison.
and a thousand other polutions empty |
into the Potomac below the Pulp |
Mill. The sewage of Cumberland itself |
is fioated back above the intake of it's |
water pipes aud thus do they befoul |
their own water. These facts are es-
tab!ished by government reports. All
in all it seems now to have been a pure
piece of malice not endorsed by the |
people at large of Cumberland and
Allegheny county, Maryland, for had
the Pulp Mill been driven away the
water would still be unfit for use The
following clipping from the Washing
ton Posts Cumberland correspondent
gives an idea of how doleful is the,
feeling ihereabout among those who

Highland County Happenings.

A spec ial from Monterey, Highland
county, under date of the 23rd inst.
says:
The determination of Hon. Charles
T. Jones to center politics. indicated
by his consent to become a candidate
for the place made vacant by Senator
McCorkle, is viewed here with a min
gled feeling of satisfaction and regret.
AS public man Mr.. Jones's record is
such as to reflect credit upon his coun-
ty, and perhaps no other man in the
county could command as strong fol-
lowing or more nearly obliterate party
lines, yet since his retirement from pO-
litlcs, five years ago, his life as a pri-
vate citizen and neighbor has been
such as to endear him TO the people
by even stronger ties of friendship and
esteem, and thus it sthey are both to
bid him God speed in a career which
OF necessity will occupy much OF his
time and keep him away from those
who are in position to see and apprrci
ate his usefulness aud benefactions as
citizen and churchman.
Mrs. A. K Siple, of Ivy. Albemarle
county, came to Eastern Highland
about six weeks ago to visit her former
home, and was stricken with fever,
from which she died On Thursday. She
was daughter of Joseph Siren, de-
ceased, and has a large relationship
here. She leaves nine children A sad
and touching feature connected with
her death was the futile effort to graft
fly her wish to see her little children,
who were at their home i'll AlDemarie.
They were sent for and met in Staun-
ton by friends, who FASTENED them On
their way. Finding the mother sink
ing rapidly, a fresh team was sent to
meet them and hurry them on. By
some means the two vehicles missed
each other. and the wornout horses ar
rived with their precious freight just
one hour too late.
j. w. Hevener, proprietor OF 'Heye-
ner's" Roller Mill, Meadow Dale, in
this county, has purchased a twenty
five horse power gasoline engine for his
mill. This is the only engine Of the
kind in the county, and the expert
ment will be noted with interest.
1t is pretty generally understood
that the census enumerators for this
county will be as follows: Bluegrass
District. M. A. Colaw; Monterey Dis
trict, Tom Fl. Slavin, Jr.; Stonewall,
Henry Bryan and A. c. Rivercomb.
A.C Corbin, formerly Of Rocking
