The Falrmont Index dropping into
pharisalcai mood exudes these refresh
ing remarks: 1--WE are glad to see that
Senator Elkins has seen the error Of his
way and suggests change in the poll
cy of his party in this state. For a
number of years his party has been
running things to suit themselves, not
caring for the capacity Of their nomi ;
nees, just so they suited their purposes.
Now It seems that he has seen the error
of that way Of doing things. for in his
Parkersburg interview he advised his
party ito see to 1t that only good men.
wise men and honest men are selected
for standard bearers of the party,
which, II adopted, will be quite change
from the past procedure of the Repub-
lIcan party"
In the light OF the last odorous Demo
cratic state administration. and the
most reprehensIble acts of the Demo-
cratic members of the last legislature,
we are at loss to understand the spirit
Of self-satlsfactio implied by the Lam
guage used by the Index The present
Republican officers who have been adj
mlnlstering the affairs of the state
have done more than well. The breath
Of scandal has not touched the official
acts Of any Of the gentlemen occupying
the state house at Charleston. The Re-
publican party knows its duty too well
to depart from a policy 1t has always
maintained in nominating wise and
honest men" for office. Can the Demo-
cratic party point to Its record with
such pride? Senator Elkins was only
en3oIning the party to use the same
care 1t always has exercised in selecting
none but the most competent men for
office

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING. NOVEMBER 8. 1880.
Absurd Claims,


Democratic papers drop Into absurdl-
ties 80 frequently in discussing econo-
mics that recent lapseb have not been
Of suficlent Importance to notice. In
the days when the ludiGrous cry Of 1.-THE
taFiff Is a tax was the slogan of the
free trade Democracy the press Of that
party enjoyed printing extensive lists
Of articles in daily use and by some
wonderful juggling OF figures attempted
to show that the people were being rob-
bed by the "robber tariff." The New
York Journal has applied these same
tricks in regard to trusts, making the
ridiculous claim that the price Of near
~ every article in common use has
been advanced through the oper-
atoms Of trusts and commercial
combinations. And here are some of
the articles that are In the Journals
list: Soap, pickles, tobacco, stogies,
cheese, canned corn. peas, beans and
salt. THIS is the height Of absurdity.
In commenting on these false claimS an
able eastern contemporary says: t'Their
production never could be controlled.
Every hotel-keeper. every restaurant or
boarding house, and every householder
could have all the pickles he might need
put up on the premises, and he would
be able to have made for hlmselS an
abundant supply Of soap.
That the price Of such things are
higher than they were not long ago is a
natural consequence Of the better times.
While commerce and industry were in
a condition Of stagnatlon, prices had to
be shaved down as low Is possible to
meet the limited purchasing ability Of
the people. Manufacturers and dealers
were compelled to sacrifice the greater
part Of their legitimate profits in order
to do business at all. Now that the
great army Of the unemployed has been
transformed into an army Of wage
earners, it is again possible for men in
business to take their legitimate 2rofts.
The increase Of the prices Of some
commodities would have attracted less
notice II 1t had taken It's usual place,
ahead Of the increase Of wages. 1t is
wen known that when times improve
after a period Of depression, wager are
generally the last to go up. Prices ad-
vance first. But as soon as the benefi-
cent influence of the Mckinley admin
istration began to have its effect, wages
first Of all were increasedin all parts OF
the country. Then, gradually, prices OF
some things began to 60 up. Having
had their Joy over the inereaseS of
wages first, the people are naturally In
clined to grumble somewhe. because
they have to pay more for some things
than before. II the advance Of prices
had come FIRST, they might have COM
plsined no less, but the following ad-
vance Of wages would have been more
impressive and would have caused them
to stop their complaints ale I icy re-
5oiced."

Presidential Succession.

Tho presumably fatal illness of Vice
President Hobart involves an interest
ing situation. Even in the event Of his
recovery from his present illness Mr..
Hobart's family have announced that
he will retire from public life, and this
viii necessltate the Republican party
casting about for running mate for
President Mckinley next year, for 1t
has been generally conceded that Hoo
bart would be nominated with McISin-
ley next year. Again In the event of
his recovery 1t is not likely that he will
be able to stand the strain Of resumIng
his position as presiding officer Of the
senate, and where he will be greatly
misSsd. These duties will devoIve upon
senator William P. Frye, Of Maine, who
Is president pro TEN Of that body.
In case. however, the vice president
dies Mr. Frye will not succeed to the
vacancy, as was formerly the case I'M
I'll 1886 The death of Vice President
Hendricks In the early part Of cleve-
lands first administration, made the
uncertainties Of the old law stand out
in a strong light. Under the old law
the succession was hrst to the vice
president. next to the president pro tenn
OF the senate. next to the speaker Of the
house. and then to the chief Justice,
but the Office could 20 only to any other
than the president pro TEN Of the sem

Under the present law, II the pFesi-

John Hay would become President for
the entire remainder Of tho presidential
term and in the event Of his death the
SECRETARY Of the treasury would succeed
him and 70 on down embracing the

The Louisville Courier Journal, al
though Democratic. is fair enough to
see the prosperity that has come over
the land. In a recent issue 1t gave
prominence to the following: IA prI-
vate letter received here the other day
from a Louisiana cotton planter said
that he was selling all his cotton at to
70 cents pound and nothing under Z
cents. A man who has Just returned
from Huntsville says he saw cotton
selling there from. the wagons OF the
negro planters at s.62 cents pound.
Such prices as these mean a high state
Of prosperity In the south. and COM
pletely knock out the force of Senator
James Jones's remark that he didn't
see any great prosperity, and that cot
ton hadn't advanced much. anyhow.
The senator, in common with a great
many others. keeps his eye fixed upon
that time when cotton sold on the plan
tatlon at az to cents. That time has
gone by now. and we are living In a
new and better era"

one day was - miles. His tramp, this

days were hot and the roads dusty. He
was recognized just once. It was in

"Hello, bishop" She had seen him at
the store in July, and remembered
him.
The bishop did not tramp on Sundays,
and he did not go to church; he said
his prayers in the woods. One day,

A SUppOSEDLEpER.
Dumped Off the Railroad Train at
Safford-He Makes His Appear
dnCe In SolomonvllIe.

On last Wednesday morning, when
the train from Bowie arrived, q most
miserable specimen of humanity was
assisted to the ground by the train
men. The man then moved up town
away from the depot. His mode of
locomotion was in a sitting posture,
as his lower limbs were entirely USE
| less. He was emaciated to the last
degree, and portions of his fingers
swollen at the joints and distorted
out of shape. While he kept his feet
covered with bandages, it could easily
| be seen that his lower extremities
! were in the same condition as his
hands. He was truly a most disgusting
and pitiable object.
The attention Of DR.. Lindley was
called to the mendicsnt and his con-
dition. He declared that the victi M
of foul disease, with the chances that
it was the former.
The man finally made his way back
to the railroad track and told q reporter
for the Arizonan that his name was
Jose Almada: that he was a native of
old Mexico and was thirty years old.
He said he had been living at Phoenix.
Stafford Arlzonan.
The above from the Arizonan tells
of the arrival of q supposed leper in
this valley.
When the train came through SAT-
ford Thursday afternoon he was load
ed into a box car and started for the
county hospital at Solomonville in
charge of . man named Riley.
The hospital people happened to
hear of the case over the telephone.
and also that he was suspected of be-
ing leper, and they notified Sheriff
Clark, who headed off the stage and
compelled the driver, the sick man aud
che passengers to return to the depot.
Station Agent Brown protested and
Sheriff Clark had the man removed to
the old blacksmith shop about half way
between the town and depot and sup
piled him with bedding and food.
Saturday morning, hearing that the
man was still there, DR.. Bonney, who is
in charge of the hospital during DR..
Lacy's absence, went down and made
an examination of the case 1t the sug-
gestion of Judge Doau, and pronounced
it a clear snd typical case of leprosy.
The last seen of him was on Wednes-
day. he had orawled out of the old
blacksmith shop and made his way az
far as the stock yards.-Solomonvil lie
