The Martinsburg Herald is
guilty Of down right lying or woe

tOrlat headed Cant be relied on"

On the Dem ocrats and the Demo

Such miserable mIsrepresenta.
ton as the one here alluded to Is
the stock IN trade OF the Herald.
We thought every intelligent
citizen TN the State and specially
ths newspaper men, knew that DR..
Stathsrs Was o Republican of the
deepest dye and a special pet OF
Gov. Atkinson. And that he
spent the winter at Charleston
while the Legislature of '97 was in
session lobbying through a bill to
turn out the Democrats on the
Board of Directors of the Hospital
at Weston in order That his bosom
friend Atkinson could appoint a
Republican Board and one bound
before appointment to elect him
(StHtbers) Supt. of the Hospital
and as the Legislature was over
whelmingly Repu blican it was all
carried out and Stathers placed in
charge OF the most important in
%ssitntion in the State, as a special
act OF the said Legislature aud the
Republican Administration.
The Governor, under the law,
was bound to appoint a minority
representation on the Board, and
he got around it by appointing gold
bug Democrats, one of them Alex
McVeigh Miller, having since come
out squarely Republican, so that
the last Legislature refused to con.
firm him as a Democrat. The
Board consists of nine members,
and six were straight ont Republi.
cans. The Herald editorial further
claims that the majority Of the
Board were not Republicans. Is
this downright ignorance or DELHI
crate lying, which? Either horn
of the dilcmma is a bad one for a
Republican candidate for Congress,
and We are certainly surprised at
the Hon. U. S. G.. Pitzer, the edi-
tor Of the Herald.

To Investigate the Superiority
Of our Company:

Policy No. 9,47s, on the life of Mr.. Philip
Reilly, of st, Paul, Mimi, was issued Ia
1879, at age 50. for $500, with an annual
premium of S13s.sC. He paid 3 premiums,
amounting 81 ,259 10, which, less dividends,
S244.8, made a net payment or cost of
$i,0l4S, exclusive of interest. He did not
pay the premium due in November, 1883;
but instead of taking paid mp policy for
81. 80, he allowed his insurance to be ex-
tended for 9 years and 134 days, max
ing in all Is years and 134 days insurance
at an averageyearly cost of Sli0l per thou
sand.
Mr.. Reilly died in June, 1885,, more than
eight years after the lapse of the policy,
which, however. was promptly paid ia
full by the Company.
THE record of the company for the past
81 years, taken together with the usi
equaled liberality of its policy contract
and its unsurpassed reputatiop for fair
dealing with its members, proves that the
Mutual Benefit furnishes the best insur-
ance atsthe lowest cost price.

The Cost of Criminals.

Charles Dudley Warner in the Arena.
We often hear that a person has lost so
much money, that his house has been en-
tered, that he has lost a lot Of silver, or
that a bank has been broken into and a
great sum Of money stolen, and for a mo-
ment that makes an impression. But that
is nothing; those little losses to society are
nothing at all compared to what 1t costs
TO keep these people employed in this way
The real loss IS one which you can perfect
by wen avoid, and il seems the strangest
thing in the world to me that we are so
patient under this iniliction. You read now
and then that such a person has been
long watched. but he Is not apprehended.
The reporters make a good deal out of
ID, ard the papers are fun of interesting
accounts OF such distinguished burglars
and sneak thieves. The story is sensational,
but the man has been before The public
perhaps thirty or forty years, and il Is

hended. Il one is apprehended, you know
