Had a auiet sabbath.

To the Editor OF the Intelligencer.
SIR:-The action OF the honored
Judge who enjoined the playing OF base
ball on last Sabbath is greatly appre-
cIated by the law-abIdlng people Of
the Island. 1t gave US real Sab
bath, such a rest after the noise and
confusion of the preceding ones.
In Isaiah. 5Sth chapter, 18th and 18th
verses, we read. III thou turn away
thy foot from the Sabbath from doing
thy pleasure on my holy day, and call
the Sabbath delight. the holy Of the
Lord. honorable. and shalt honor Him.
not doing thine own ways, nor finding
thine own pleasure. nor speaking thine
own words. then shalt thou delight
myself in the Lord. and will cause
thee to ride upon the high places Of
the earth. and feed thee with the heri-
tage OF Jacob. thy father, for the
mouth OF the Lord has spoken It,"
This offer still holds good, and It Is
fact that Sabbath-keeplng people
are the recipients Of temporal bless
tings. while in numerous cases those
who sneer at Its proper observance,
find, like the ancient Jews. that what
they thought they had gained by Ia
boring on this day, has become putrid
and unfit for use. Business prosper
Ity and morals seem to be closely re-
lated. The Sabbath was made for
man, and unwisc In the extreme is
he who refuses It's priceless benefits.
We are glad to see law enthroned
again. It was a pItiable spectacle, to
see It defied and dragged from its seat.
and 1t would have been an injustice,
even to those misguided men, to have
allowed the Protector Of us all to have
remained in the dust. AS lovers OF
law and justice let us each do what
we can to uphold its benefcent re-
qulrements, the proper observance of
which Will bring good to our city, while
continued violation will only result in
evil. B.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING. JUNE 0, 1900.
oregou's Voice.

OREGON voted on Monday, and from
the latest returns the Republicans have
carried the state by very handsome
plurality. The state was considered de-
batable ground by the Democrats, but
no such feeling, so far as we know. was
ever entertained by the Oregon Republic
cans. In'1Sg6 McKinley's plurality was
only 2.1l7, but in 1898 Governor Geer,
Republican, was elected by 1914 plural
ity, and from returns received so far
wolverton, for judge of the supreme
court, will obtain about the same plu-
rality, and perhaps exceed 1t.
The vote on congressman, however.
better shows the temper of the people of
the Pacific coast state In 1898 Tongues
plurality was 2,O37. but the figures at
hand from Mondays election
show that he has gained 1000
over the vote of two years
ago, making his plurality a little over
aOCO. This vote exempllfes the national
character Of the election, and gives
most comforting assurances Of the GER
tainty of oregon's vote in November.
Moody, the other Republican congress-
man, is returned by about the same plu-
rallty he received in 1898. 5000. Alto
gether oregon has done more than well.
The Republicans fought their fight on
distinct declaration for the gold stand
ard, and on the expansion question, the
plank in the platform on the latter issue
reading as follows: I'VE heartily in
dorse the policy Of the administration
and particularly in securing the Philip
pine Islands and demand that they shall
be retained as American territory. We
have confidence that the American peo-
pie, without departing from their tradI-
lions. will give security to personal and
property rights. Justice. liberty and
equality before the law to all who live
beneath Its nag. We indorse the policy
OF the administration in supprcssing the
instruction in the Philippines headed
by AEulnaldo." The fusion platform
declared for free silver coinage and for
the granting of independence to the
Philippines.

sIR:-The Republicans Of wetzel
county are wlde-awalSe to the issues
OF the day, and will be found working
from now until the close of election
day In November to increase the Re-
publican majority in the state. While
the candidates who will be the state
officers. in most instances, are prac-
ticaIly settled. yet very important
matter is seemingly being overlooked.
and that is. Who will be our supreme
Judges? As a delegate to the state
convention. wish TO suggest the
name OF Hon. George w. Farr, present
circuit Judge of this, the Fourth judi
clal circuit, for this important posi-
;lon. and will be pleased TO hear from
other delegates through the Intelligent
Ger on this subject. Judge Farr has
shown himself TO be one Of the ablest
circuit Judges in the state, and when
he first came on the bench his ability
MS n lawyer and superior qualities as =
Judge were soon recognized. He soon
won for himself the respect and admir-
alton OF the bar. regardless OF political
affiliations. and number Of Demo-
crats have expressed desire to vote
for him. II Judge Farr is placed on
our ticket for supreme Judge 1t will
add great strength In this judicial cir
cult. A large vote will be polled in
wetzel county owing to the new men
who have come here in the last two
years, ninety per cent Of whom are
Republicans, hence n good report may
be expected from this county In No
vember. Let us have an expression

seeker" resortlng to methods denounc-
ed as barely respectable in ward poll
tics.
This is something startling coming
from the most influential Democratic
Journal in Ohio, a state that Bryan and
his friends are confident OF carrying this
fall. We do not see how the Enquirer
can consistently denounce the Sioux
Falls convention without striking lBry-
an. That convention was especially un-
der the wing OF the Democratic leader,
and which did just exactly what the
written Instructions from his zen called
for. Bryan was cheek by jowl with
them. It must be remembered that the
Popullsts in 1896 were greatly dis
gruntlsd because they imagined their
identity was swallowed up by the Dem
ocrats in first nominating Bryan. The
Nebraskan was yet Popullst, as In the
preceding election he had voted for
General Weaver. The Populists claim
ed him for their own, but by an acci-
dent he was nominated by the Demo-
Gratis. This year the POpulIsts are de-
termined to make the Democrats en-
dorse what they did. The tables are
turned. with Towne. a silver Republi-
can. thrown in. 1t III COMFORTS the En-
qulrer to speak of Towne as "a vulgar
office seeker" and denouncIng his meth
DDS as barely respectable inward politics.
