Kindly Word to a contemporary.

When our friend and esteemed con-
temporary the Parkersburg Journal
cannot see a joke it is truly sad. Re-
ferrIng to a Washington dispatch which
stated the First district is entitled to a
governor and an auditor the Journal
says: why stop so soon? Why not
take the entire ticket from Ohio coun-
ty?"
Editor Morris likes good thing occa-
sionally and is noted for looking on the
humorous side of things. He ought to
appreciate the same propensity in a
contemporary. Ohio county doesn't
want the earth, but Ohio county, under
the management OF Il candidate for
auditor, changed a regular Democratic
majority from 800 to 500 to a cOntinu-
Gus Republican majority Of from 1900
to 1880. Can Wood county show up a
record like that?
The Intelllgencer showed its good will
for the Fourth district. the other day,
when 1t said that 1t could not afford to
spare Congressman Freer in his present
position in order to make governor
out OF him at a meagre salary, with the
responsibilities of the burdens Of pat
ronage. Is Ohio county to be thus re-
paid by an organ Of Representative
Freer's district?

A NICKEL ADAY.
What Would Happen If Everybody
Sncnt that Much More.

Chicago Times Herald: A nickel n day
spent by every man. woman and child
in the United States makes the whole
face Of the nation expand into a smile
OF prosperity more than billion dol
lars year abroad. In the sunshine
of that smile the American people to-
day are beginning to bask for the first
time In more than five years.
II is not nickel saved, but the nickel
spent that makes prosperity. II this
nation were to start in at this moment
to save or hoard Its nickels It would not
be week before returning prosperity
would shut up like n clam ut high wa
ter and wait for the loosening OF the
purse strings which were strangling 1t.
What potentialltles for national pros
perity abide in the nimble nickel. How
insignificant itself! Multiplied by the
population OF the United States-76, ESQ.,
COO, according to the treasury estimate
August /. lS99-lt sWells to the enViable
sum OF $3,S1i.250 for a single day. In n
twelfth month the nickel day spent
by the population OF the United States
will amount to $780,, 20i, $50. What
mountains of misery such u sum can
remove In year!
This is all very beautiful. sneers your
chronic pesslmists and birds OF dlscOn-
tent, but where is the nickel day per
capita to come from? More than one
half Of the population are minors. One
half OF the adults are women. Where
Is the nickel to come from for every one
to spend?
There is no trouble about the nickel
a day per head, man, woman and baby.
It Is already here. Within two years
the wages OF all classes OF labor have
advanced from to 30 per cent. This
means Il general raise Of over % cents
per ware Garner. In the case Of day
labOrers wages have gone up from 81 25
day, with no demand for labor, to
81 Is and 81 per day, with the demand
practically unlimited.
This means that throughout the re-
public the wages earned per day are
from so to Is cents day greater per
family than they were two years ago.
According to the census Of 1890 the
ratio OF families to population was
per A.93 Inhabitants. With five persons
in family an increase Of so cents
day In earnings would provide each one
with n nickel to save and nickel to
spend.
Think Of it! A billion and third to
put in the stocking, and billion and n
third to add to the common stock OF
prosperity.
Wealth may come from that nickel
saved, but the prosperity which Is evil
dent on every hand, which jOstles one
in the streets, crowds the stores and
keeps the whole country humping" to
catch on. is directly traceablc TO the
nickel n day that Is spent.
The nlmble nickel Is the symbol and
herald OF good times. The people who
have learned how to save, and how to
spend 1t have solved the problem Of liv-
ing cOntented. happy and prosperous.
Let the reader think for himself what
81, 49,, $50 in nickels win buy, and how
II will keep the wheels buZzing.

RnnkPolitical pemagogy.


The Register has capped the climax
in Its exhibition OF the art Of acrobatic
politics. on Monday morning the Reg
lister had a silly story that the admins
tratlon had a project to have the Presi-
dent make a political tour of the west,
notably Ohio, accompanied by Admira!
Dewey, and paraIleled 1t with the incl
dent OF Andrew johnson making a SINH
lar trip with Secretaries Seward and
Welles of the old Lincoln cabinet, and
also by General Grant and Admiral
Farragut. This was to be In the inter-
est OF McKinley's denomination. This
the Register was positive was true.
The Register followed this statement
up yesterday morning with an editorial
which actually gave the lie to the
statement of the previous day, in which
IT repeats the absurd and ridiculous
falsehood, nailed by the admiral himself
ON board the Olympia on the day of his
arrival, that 1t is possible Dewey VIII
be the Democratic nominee for the
presidency next year. 1t relates that
Dewey, as a presidential candidate
against the President who paid him the
highest honor It is possible for an Ex-
ecutlye to confer on a naval officer
would sweep the country from the At
lantlc to the Pacific, and not even Re
publican frauds would save the day for
a. pan,bIIcsn administration"
This, in the face of Admiral Dewey's
indignant denial that he was concern
cd In any way whatever with politics;
that he is sailor and satisfied with
the life position he now has conferred
upon by the administration. We hope
the Register can answer the following
questions:
Does the Register know what Ad-
miraI Dewey's views are upon the theo-
ries laid down by the Chicago plat
form which have been endorsed by
every Democratic state convention that
has been held this year?
Does IL know what money standard he
favors?
Does II know what his position would
be upon a platform that would de-
uounce the national administration
which has conferred upon him rare
honor for his magnificent achieve
mcnts?
Can the Register state how 1t knows
that the admiral would accept Demo-
cratic nomination from an aggregation
OF Aguinaldians. Bryanltes, Altseldltos'
free traders, free sllycrites, and men
who have circulated alleged Views Of
which he has taken occasion to indis-
nantly deny?
Does the Register know that Admiral
Dewey would accept nomination Mt
the hands Of men who are circulating
literature calculated to weaken our ef-
forts for the restoration Of peace and
order in the philippines. and endanger-
ing the lives Of our sailors and soldiers
regulating our sacred treaty oblIga-

the Admiral that he would engage In
such a despicable undertaking?
The native state of Admiral Dewey.
which is SO Justly proud Of him, is mot
a Democratic state. 1t never gave a
Democratic majority. Does the Regis
ter know that. though the total vote Of
Vermont In 1886 was but $500, McKln-
ley received $1,000 OF them over the Bry-
an PLATFORM Does the Register lmag-
Inc for one moment that honest old
Vermont would reverse that sentiment
toward Bryanite platform, even with
Admiral Dewey as the candidate?
Would they repudlate principles to
elect a Democratic President, even
though the candidate is not Demo-
crat? Does the Register think Admiral
Dewey is fool to be against his own
state, or a great American Patriot?
Does the Register know that Admiral
Dewey stated less than week ago that
nobody knows what his politics are?

A tariff object lesson Is afforded by
the statement that in the last year Of
the Wilson law the lmportations Of
wool were $50. S52.O26 pounds, valued ut
$50 g4s.19l, and American locks were
depleted. Last year the Importntions,
under the present tariff. were only 7G.-
1876 2O9 pounds. valued at iS,322,so7. The
change that has come over the home
values of sheep is instructive to Ameri-
can farmers MS to the wisdom of the
position Of the respective parties on the
tariff on wool. 1t will be recalled that
the war cry Of the free traders was free
wool. and that feature Of protection was
made a national Issue.

man who in few years saves $1,000

pure unselnshness, concluded to stop
where he is.

A parish fair sometime next fall
should be agitated, aud if possible it
should be held, 1t need not be given
on a great scale, but small affair,
where horses, cows, hogs, sheep, chick
ems and vegetables are raised in our
parish should be exhibited. 1t would
be a movement in the right direction,
and no doubt would do great deal of
good. Let an organization be had
and let us have our little fair. We
hope our friends, Messrs. IL. II. Gra-
ham and Frank Constant, of the
second ward, who have been talking
about it, will try and get others inter-
ested and get it up.

well for the manner in which it is got
ten up, and shows up the town to great
advantage. The book is twenty-four
pages, of large size, inierspersed with
cuts of its prominent citizens, business
houses aud residences. Among the
number of its citizens who are men
toned, we find The cut of Mr.. Chas. D.
Biggs, aud also cut of his business
house. Charley Biggs was born in
our town, and moved with his mother
when a small boy, to Fulton, Ky. lie
was poor boy when be started out
for himself, but by bard work aud
energy, he is now OH the road 10 pros

ABOUT this lime last year aud the
year before, we were all fighting TO
protect our levees from The mighty
Mississippi and escape an overflow.
AT the present time the river is away
within its bank, with no prospects OF
any high water. This is great bless
ing for our planters, for with high
water fight added to the failure OF
their crops it would be almost little
too much for them TO stand. We hope
that they will escape every misfortune
this year.
