a Farmer on Advertising.


Patrons of store. these days,
expect the managers to advertise.
When he has any bargains to offer
they expect him to use the columns
of the papers to let them know of
it. AS evidence of this fact, note
the following from a paper written
by farmer living in Gilmore coun-
ty and read before the Chenille
Farmers Institute. The farmer
says:
"When [ lived in other places
and needed anything I would pick
up the county or city paper and in
a little while know where l could
procure the needed article. But
our people, Every few of them at
best), never advertise. One would

"When Gilmerite needs any
thing he must just go out and hunt
and hunt until he finds it, and Of

ing for an article than it is worth
when he gets it,"

Another Cabinet Scandal.

A storm of indignation has been
aroused by the disclosure that the
Secretary of War has granted ex-
elusive concessions to certain per
sons to obtain gold from the sandy
beaches in the Cape Nome gold
fields, Alaska. He admits having
done SO and the Senate has called
on him for information and the
authority he had for manifesting
such favoritism.

If Congress can do as it pleases
with outside territory, then Con-
gress can do as it pleases with in
side territory. If the Executive
and judicial Departments of this
Government are restrained and
bound by the Constitution, then
the Legislative department must be
held to the same restraints. The
Constitution provides that in mat
ters of commerce all parts of the
United States shall have equal
rights. We want in this land of
freedom no Judge, no member of
Congress, no President who would
dare to destroy the forces of this
fair doctrine.

JUL IN ~. MAI " bNa LObC "
The Virginia debt question is
now attracting attention in this
State. Some action of the Legisla-
ture of Virginia, has stirred the.
matter afresh and quite number
of our exchanges are airing their
views. That has long been a
troublesome question. We in COM
mon with a large majority of the
people of the State, believe that
West Virginia does not owe the
Virginia creditors one cent of their
claim against the mother State.
The Democratic party has always
maintained this position and dur
ing the long years in which it was
entrusted with power in this State,
no serious attempt was made to
fasten any part of that debt upon
our State, but no sooner was the
Republican crowd put into the
saddle that there were rumors of
schemes to make our State liable,
and at nearly every Legislature
since a strong lobby has assembled
in Charleston, hoping to do some
thing that would commit our State
to the payment of some portion of
that State debt. Very soon after
this State was turned over to the
Republicans we saw that we we're
in danger of getting into trouble
over this matter, and SO stated, and
our suspicious have been confirm
ed by many actions which have &C.
CURED since that time. And to-
day we are more confident than
ever, that if the Republican ma
chine is permitted to manage the
affairs of this State, sooner or later,
something will be done to fasten a
debt upon our people which will
take generation to pay. There
is lot of money to the crowd that
will entrap this State into paying
a part of that debt, and nothing is
so powerful with the Republican
crowd, as money.-Fairmont Index.
War conducted on the trust plan
seems to be rather expensive ar
tiole. We guess very few people
in this country had any idea when
the Spanish war broke out that we
devote the next few years to run
ming a charity organization, with
William Mckinley and the trusts
as the chief beneiciaries.
AS the United States expands it
takes it's constitution with it. We
cannot escape our obligations to
the organic law of the republic.
The only escape is by notification,
and the Civil war settled all that
generation ago. There can be
neither notification nor evasion of
the provisions of the Constitution
while the United States remains a
nation.
A measure must be fragrant in
it's violation of right and justice
before man as conservative as OK
President Harrison would condemn
his own party for passing it. His
Characterization of the Porto Rican
tariff bill as "a most serious de-
parture from the right principles"

Defying Pubic OPINION.

Mr.. Elihu Root and his Admins
tration cronies must long for re-
turn of the good old days when
John Adams WAS President and
when men could be thrown into
Jail for criticising constituted au-
thority. Indeed, Marcus A. Hanna
has gone SO far as to intimate that
Senatorial dignity should not be
CARED" by adverse comments upon
Senatorial conduct.
We all know what happened to
President Adams and his Alien and
Sedition laws, but we admire him
and the Federalist party for having
the courage of their convictions.
Members of the Cabinet and
Republican statesmen generally
nowadays, not being able to order
the arrest of critics, simply ignore
criticism. Mr.. Root, when charged
with using his Office for the pur-
pose of turning newly discovered
gold fields over to fayorites, CURLY
informs tho public that it is none
of thepublio's business. Mr.. Gage
when his diokers with Wall Street
are exposed, simply declares that
he has nothing to say.
Not since Mr.. Grants second
term have public officials treated
the people with such contempt as
they do to-day. Everybody knows
what,happened at the end of Grants
second term. The Republican
party lost the election and was
compelled to steal the Presidency
in order to retain it's power,

New York Daily News.
Must it be MoKinley2p asks a
contemporary, referring TO the
Presidential nomination to be made
by the Republican Convention
which is to be held in Philadelphia
in June. The answer that every
political observer who understands
his business will give is that it
must be SO.
The reason for the answer is not
hard to find. Mark Hanna and the
other trust magnates who secured
McKinley's nomination and elect
ion in 1896 are satisfied with their
servant. They have tried him and
they find that he is as pliable as
mud in their hands. He possesses
no will that he calls his own and
his moral backbone is even weaker
than the chocolate collar TO which
that caustic and domineering ex
Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatiyes, Thomas B. Reed, likenedit,
He can changefront at the crack of
the monopolistic whip as quickly
as any political acrobat that the
country has ever seen, and he can
do it without SO much es visible
sign of qualm of conscience.
It will be Mckinley again. To
cast him aside would be taking the
risk of getting man with real
convictions of his own and the will
to act upon them. This is too
much to expect from the trust syn
dictate. It would be actually stalk
ing millions upon millions on a
single throw of the dice, and this,
mon like Hanna who are in politics
for the money that is to be made,
are too cautious to do.
Mckinley has been faithful to
his masters and they are Satisfied
to continue him in their service.
They will secure his denomination
the Southern delegations are al
ready being instructed to yote for
him in the convention and after
that they will gather together the
largest campaign fund the country
has ever seen and do their best to
get him reelected by literally dis
tributing it whore it will do the
most good.
