The Democratic District Conven-
tions held yesterday at Clarksburg,
Charles Town, Charleston and PIT.
Pleasant, to select delegates to the
Kansas City Convention, were all very
largely attended, and notably enthu-
siastic The leaders of the party
throughout the State were present in
almost unprecedented numbers, and
the old-time vim and earnestness was
very conspicuous. The delegates Sc
lected are eminently representative of
the party and the great popular cause
it represents, and the State delegation
to the Kansas City Convention will be
a unit upon all the cardinal Democrat
is principles and will stand sQuarely
for the issues upon which the coming
campaign is to be fought and won.
M delegates chosen are as follows:
rst District-At Large, Jackson V.
l., of Doddridge; district Hon. John
- Howard, of Ohio, and DR.. G.. B.
West, of Tyler.
Second District-At Large, Thomas
f. Davis, of Mineral; district, Stuart
w Walker, OF Berkeley, and Samuel
" Woods, of Barbour
Third District-At Large Joseph e.
Chiffon, OF Kanawha; district, j. w.
ST. Clair, of Fayette, and John D.
Anderson, of Nicholas.
Fourth District-At Large, c. w.
Campbell, of Cabell; district, J. G. Nc
Cluer, of Wood and II. E. Spilman, Of
Mason.
These selections are excellent, and
the delegates may be depended upon
to meet every requirement of the peo-
pie of this State in the Convention.

From the International Magazines: The
great majority of mOonShinerS are to be
Dun in the Businesses of
Georgia, Alabama Inc Tennessee. and
here they live in conditions of civiliza-
ton as crude as their ancestors, most of
whom were English fugitives from JUS
ice who reached his country more than a
century ago.. Indeed, in many respects
these descendants lave refrigerated rath-
err han advanced. Had they been sur
for a century by a Chinese wall
they could not have been more destitute
or ignorant of the modern convenience
and even decencies Of civilized life. Cut
off from all educational advantages, they
have no knowledge of even the rudimen-
tary three rs.
It is very difficult for any outsider to
get a look into the real life of these peo-
pie, for without exception the NOON
sinners are suspicious of all strangers,
and every unfamiliar face that comes
among them is at once suspected of be.
longing to a revenue officer in disguise
or otherwise. It is really dangerous for
a stranger to vnture INTO a moonshinei
community, for the chanc are wen that
he will never live to count his expert
ences among them. Let him go as a
teacher, a philanthropist interested in
their own welfare, or even as a priest
nothing will save him from the deadly
vengeance of thes people IL once 1t be
whispered or ven suspected that there
is any danger of his revealing the loca-
ton of their concealed distilleries. A
murder can be committed with greater
impunity in their mountain fastnessses
than perhaps anywhere else in the Unit
ed States, for it is only too easy to dis
pose of the body Of the victim in one of
the numerous concealed caves, the exyct
location Of which is known only to them

SIGNED TIE PLEDGE.
Francis Murphy's First Temperance
Meeting Last might.

Francis Murphy. the great temperance
lecturer, began a series of lectures at the
Auditorium last night. The meeting was
very largely attended, and when the
speaker had concluded he invited his hear
ers to come forward and sign what he
called the new Declaration of Inaepend-
ence.' About 70 persons accepted the in
~vitation and signed the pledge, and the
temperance workers are very much pleased
over the result of tn first meeting.
Rev. Groeneveld of the First Presbyte-
rian church introduced the speaker. He
said the meetings would be entirely nom
sectarian, and he hoped that every one
would assist in making them a success.
Mr.. Murphy said he had come to Butte
without an Invitation. which was rather a
peculiar thing to do in this peculiar age,
but he came on his commission to preach
the gospel to all the world. He said he was
glad that everybody did not love his wife
and hoped that no one blamed him for
having been born in Ireland, which was not
his fault, as his wishes We're not consulted
in the matter. He said he had not come
to Butte to make a raid on the liquor deal
ers-he was here to talk to the man who
drank. He congratulated the Butte miners
on the shorter work day and advised them
to utilize their spare time in some way adj
vantageous to themselves. There were
many eloquent passages in the lecture.
The meetings will continue all week.

COAL FOR

Chicago Chronicle: An English syndi-
cate of coal dealers is said to have closed
"a gigantic deal by which 1000 900 tons OF
Alabama coal are to be delivered at the
port of New Orleans for expectation
within two years time. The purchase
price agreed upon in the contract is said
to be IS cents a ton at the mouth of he
coal pits. Fifty cents a ton is to be al
lowed for transportation to New Orleans.
The entire 2.Oc6 600 tons are to be re-
and shipped at this port.
The English syndicate will run its WI
line of steamers direct to New Orleans,
and the ordinary brokerage in handling
the ships is to be cut off. On an average
one steamer Is expected TO load and sail
each month during the "a months time
limit. This is one of the most important
financial transactions in he South in re-
cent years.
