Our Democratic friends snd those
of our own party who have been
beguiled into the support of Free
Trade between the, United States
and our newly acquired insular I
possessions will do we'll to halt be- |
fore their action has carried them
to condition that is irretrievable,

I shall avail myself of the gen

;offer, as a kind Of supplement to
the remarks which have made
, heretofore, some comments upon
the attitude of organized labor to
the dogma of the Democratic party.
Isha1l address myself substantially
to the Democratic position on this
subject. I am not unaware that
there is strong sentiment in GER
tain localities among hitherto Re-
publicans who favcr the Democrat
deposition, and I could, I think, if
Personalities were not odious IN
connection with a matter of nation
al politics, point out some curious
incidents explaining the attitude
cf certain gentlemen upon this
question, but everything of that
character shall be avoided.
From the very beginning of the
contest growing out of the wa
with Spain it has been entirely
manifest that selfish interests woulH
cut an important figure in the po
sition which men would take upo1
these questions. We have see1
the representatives of great inter
ests, manufacturing, industrial an
otherwise, scurrying about the is
lands to ascertain the effect tha
annexation first. and legislatio
afterward would have upon the1
interests; and this is human natu1
e4emptifed, and nobody can con

Messrs. A. c. Bentz and SAVIOR Martin,

and are always welcome visitors to our
town.
The people of Shepherdstown were Civ
en- an unusual treat Thursd,y in the way
OF an open air concert by the famous
Martinsburg City Band, which was given
in return for the favor of the Shepherds
town Theatrical Society in giving the con-
cert in Marunsburg last winter for the
benefit Of the band.
The music was rare treat for the town.
The notes of the excellent music rever-
berated through the town and enlivened II
as it has not been for long time. Over
a hundred Martinsburgers accompanied
the band 10 the town.
!. The band arrived in Shepherdstown
about O'Clock accompanied by a large
crowd OF visitors. The streets were
crowded with people to hear the music,
AS soon as they arrived tremendous
shout went OUT from hundreds OF voices.
The band played a number OF choice Sc
lections which were greatly enjoyed by our
people. About 1880 o'clock they we're
shown the hospitality of our people by
being invited 10 one of our restaurants
where refreshments were served. We
sincerely hope the band will give US
another OF It's open air concerts.
A party of Charlestowners are camp
ing along the Potomac river about two
miles below this place.
Some OF the coloe ed women were so
overjoyed by the music of the band thai
they became disordery. Several OF them
were arrested and heavily fined.

withdrawal from the race for congress in this dis
trict of both the candidates which were nominated
by the Great Bend convention on April II, 1900.
This condition of the political situation renders
1t necessary that new conventions be held to NOM
mate a candidate for congress in this district. The
Populist committee has issued its call for Popu-
list convention to meet in Hutchinson. Kansas, on
September IL, 1900, for this purpose, and recon-
the same purpose at the same time and place. The
