Very little is being said now
about the financial prosperity which
this country is enjoying. Dunn's
Review, Bradstreets, and in fact all
Of the financial and commercial
papers continue to report strikes,
lock-outs, mills closing down, a de-
crease in deposits, loans being
called in, reserves increased, stocks
going down and a general decline in
securities. Dunn's Review for last
week reports decrease in the New
York Bank clearances Of twenty-five
per cent over the corresponding
week Of 1893. Three months OF
the present year have shown the
largest number Of failures in bust.
ness Of any similar months since
record has been kept Of failures.
II seems strange that prosperity
should be deserving the country so
suddenly as crop conditions warrant
the belief that our foreign trade will
keep up TO its present standard. II
is also strange when the fact is
considered that operations in the
Philippines arc much more active
and the Government IS again ex-

Philippines which compelled Prcsi

BARRED FROM PRESBYTERY.

The Parkersburg Presbytery was
in session at Weston several DAYS
last week. Rev. George Pollock of
Buckhannon was Moderator and
Rev. A. Nj. Buchanan of Morgan
town was permanent clerk. The
most important matter before the
Presbytery was the question of the
revision of the Confession of Faith.
1t will be remembered that quite
an excitement was created by the
wide swath cut by Rev. Barr, pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Fair
mont, who skipped the country last
fall after getting away with about
$40, 900 of other peoples money,
Mrs. White widow woman, being
the heaviest loser.
A letter was received from Rev.
l.. w. Barr in which he said there
was enough in the rumors with re-
gard to his business transactions
with Mrs. Margaret White to Justify
the Presbytery in taking such action
as it may deem wise. The Presby-
terry adopted the following After
full discussion of the case, the Pres
bytery acting under Chap. 7, sec.
81, Book of Discipline proceeded
to judgment which judgment is
chat the Rev. l.. w. Barr be de-
posed from the ministry and that
he be suspended from the sacraments
Of the church until such time as he
shall have brought forth fruits meet
for repentance" The reasons for
this judgment arc (I) the character
of the oftense, il being his fraudul-
emily obtaining, and using money
belonging to Mrs. Margaret White.
(7) The disastrous effects Of his
actions on the congregation of which
he was pastor. CD Upon the min
istry, and CD upon the cause Of
religion within this Presbytery.

COUNTY CANDIDATES.
Read Carefully and Decide for Your.
self.

While the Democrats in Preston
county arc in hopeless minority so
far as county candidates arc con.
cerned. with small show of electing
them, the party always gets out a
good ticket of splendid candidates
who could be elected il the vote of
the county was anyways close, but
OF course when it is nearly three to
one against us, all we can do is 10
make good fight and accept the
issue ike men who fight from
principle and not policy and hope
OF spoils. The people of this
county irrespective of party are
loud in their denunciation of the
administration of county affairs and
the enormous taxes they have to
pay; about the highest of any coun-
ty in the State. The Democratic
party of the county in their con
vention pledged themselves to a re-
duction of taxation and more
economical administration of coun-
ty and district finances, while the
Republican party makes no pre-
tense of anything of the kind, but
will grow more extravaganza and
reckless all the time, as the official
records show. Now the voters and
taxpayers have the issue before
them. You pay Jour money and
take your choice. Why can't the
people lay blind partisan prejudice
aside and use a little common
sense and judgement in their voting
when it comes right home and
effects their pockets so closely (?
Gentleman, take this matter right
home and set up with it and figure
on 1t closely for yourself and when
election day comes, vote for what
you honestly believe to be to your
best interest.

BARBOURs AFFAIRS.

Here is the way Wat Warren of
the Chenille Pathfinder, writes up
a sad story of Cupids blunders in
New York City:
Henry Grosvener Barbour, the
son of New York preacher, and
Miss Helen Southgate loved each
other SO desperately, at the same
time so bopelessly, that they
mutually agreed to leave this Bar
bourous sphere together and enter
the Southgates of the New Jerusalem.
or hotter cline, clasped in each
others arms. They spent two pre-
sumably happy weeks at pleasure
resorts and hotels before the event
full night which was to witness their
transition from this abode of sin to
the green pastures of the beautiful
somewhere else, and repaired to
hotel room to consummate the act.
This was only partially accomplish
ed. Barbour placed the cold muz-
zle of revolver against the barred
white breast of his lady-love and
put bullet close to her already
bleeding and broken heart, and
then stuck the pistol in his own
mouth, pulled the trigger and shot
his darn fool head off. The woman
still lives to tell the tale and may get
we'll. And "such is life in large
cities"

The following is the so-called
trust plank framed at the Republi-
can convention in PHILADELPHIA

tNSt Piduh iidHicu al tue hcpuDh-
can convention in Philadelphia
We recognize the necessity and propri-
ETY. OF the honest cooperation of capital TO
meet new business conditions and espec.
tally to extend our rapidly increasing for
eign trade. but we condemn all conspira-
cics and combinations intended to restrict
business. to create monopolies, TO limit
production or to control prices and favor
such legislation as will efectually restrain
and prevent all such aliases. protect and
promote competition and secure the rights
Of producers. laborers and all who arc en-
gagged in industry and commerce.
With this plank the Republican
campaign managers intend to play
upon the credulity of the American
people. The full extent of the hy.
pocrisy involved in this attempt to
ward of disaster by mocking the
intelligence of the voters with in
cincere declarations can only be
realized when we remember that
Hanna was the master mind at the
Republican convention; that Hanna
wrote the important planks of the
platform and that the same man
Hanna has during the last two years
made the following public decla-
rations regarding trusts:
''rhe English government is as
good as ours"
Large combinations of capital
have existed for 200 years in Eng
land"
"The great commercial success
of England has been due to those
same trusts"
"fhcse combinations known as
trusts are not political question at
all. They are simply and purely a
business question"
'rhe trusts have the best men in
the country at their head. | be-
lieve in their organization"
81 think the trusts will result ben
ehcially to the men who work in the
factories"
"What harm can these trusts do
to the people of this country ?"
"The formation Of trusts is a step
forward"
"They are not intended to in
crease profits, but to reduce cost"
"Trusts There's no such thing I"
''The story that / have defended
trusts in any of my speeches is alb
solutely false /"
"The combination OF corpora
tons is simply the evolution of
business. / don't know of trust
in the United States"
al say there are no trusts. If
there are, prove it,"
'There is not trust left in the
United States. There never were
more than about half dozen, and
they all have been dissolved and
converted into large corporations"
In short, in the language of the
Ellicott (Md.) Democrat, Senator
Hanna at first denied that any trusts
existed. Then he claimed that
they were necessities. Now he
asserts that the Republican party
will smash them. All of which
would be somewhat contradictory
if it didn't come from the handmade
of duty and destiny.
West Virginia argus. [volume] (Kingwood, W. Va.) 1877-1946, 1900-10-04

tons seem much as they were in
1892. The men who are managing
for the Democrats in New York
say that they are going 10 carry the
State. They are sincerely confident.
They believe they are going to sue
coed. The Democratic managers
generally feel confidence in the
general situation and believe that
Mr.. Bryan is going to be elected.
The drift is strongly in that
direction"

So far no Republican paper or
prosperity shouter has tackled our
problem about the heavy coal ship
ments abroad, being made by the
operators of this country now.
What we want to know is where
the Dingley tariff on coal comes in
at The argument used in favor
of it is to keep out the pauper coal
of Canada and other countries
when they are lying in wait to un-
load loi of cheap stuff on our fool
people at bargain-counter prices
and thus spoil the sale of a lot of
the home product and, of course,
interfere with lot of "full dinner
pals" among our miners. But.
strange to say, we are now meeting
this foreign pauper coal in their
own markets and shipping far more
coal abroad than eyer before. Now
won't some good kind Republican
explain TO us where the Dingley
bill tariff on coal benefits the

For the House of Delegates on

Benjamin Franklin Sapp, of Lyon
district near Gainesville. There
is no better farmer or man of good
common sense, honesty and integri.
ty in the county than Lieutenant
Sapp. Having been gallant
soldier In the Union Army, he de-
serves well at the hands of the
old soldiers of the county. He has
raised large family and has a big
family connection in his section and
has always stood we'll with his
friends and neighbors and wherever
known the best. Like Mr.. Deakins
he has been on the ticket before
several times and it is great pity
that we can't get more men like
him in the Legislature, who will
represent the best interest of the
farmers, the class who compose the

without whom no other class could

Here is the meat in Governor
Roosevelts speech officially opening
the campaign
"The Democrats stand for law
lessness, for dishonesty and dis
honor, for license and disaster at
home and cowardly shrinking from
duty abroad"
What do you think of young
gentleman who characterizes in this
fashion the seven million American
citizens who voted for Bryan four
years ago /?
Governor Roosevelt's description,
by the way, applies to General
Lawton - he was a Demo-
crat; and to Dewey-he is a
Democrat; and to Schley-he. is a
Democrat and to General Wheeler
he is Democrat. Were those
men dishonest at home and
towards abroad ?"
A wise old man in the Democ
ic party remarked when Roosevelt
was nominated
eve can safely rely on that
young man to make more kinds of
a fool of himself than any man has
ever done in public life"
Governor Roosevelt seems to be
rapidly verifying the prediction.

condemned by Mr. Bryan and the

country, although he brought it all
on himself by his untempered re-

towards and given to lawlcssncss

knocked of and should come down
