Az "ENDEDv WAR.

Within week a dispatch from
the seat Of the ''late war in the
Philippines" showed that Gems.
Young and Howe at Appari was
asking for re-enforcsments to repel
the persistent attacks by rebels.
In another province 1000 insur-
gents were under arms. The enemy
had burned the town of Irriga, and
1900 well-armed insurgents sur
rounded two towns garrisonsd by
the Forty-seventh regiment, and in
night attacks killed eight and
wounded twenty of our soldiers-all
this at the very time that Otis and
his associates were proclaiming that
the rebellion was ended and that
there were no longer any armed
forces of any kind in the islands.
1t seems that every time a
cheering report comes from the
commander in the Philippines it is
necessary to send over three or four
thousand fresh troops-and bring
home a shipload of corpses.

MERCHANTS TAKE NOTICE.
From The Tucker Democrat.

From The Tucker Democrat
On last Saturday morning, very
much to the surprise Of those who
had been listening to the l.. Rosen-
thai Clothing and Dry Goods Co.
case. Judge Holt sustained the
motion Of the Insurance Co. to ex-
clude the evidence from the Jury
and direct verdict in its favor,
which was accordingly done.
He sustained the motion for the
reason, as he announced from the
bench, that the plaintiff had not
kept an itemized statement, by
articles and their values, of all
goods sold by them during the life
time of their store. He stated that
it was not sufficient for them to
keep an inventory Of all the goods
which went into the store and keep
the daily sales by giving a sum total
In credlt and cash.
The Judge announced that before
a merchant could recover any loss
sustained upon an insurance policy
that ne would be compelled to keep
an itemized account of every arti-
Gle going out of the store, down to
yard of calico. a spool of thread,
bunch or shoe strings or necktie,
and the value of each article, as
well as to keep complete inventory
of all goods going into stock of said
store.
Should the highest courts of this
state hold this to be the law then
the merchants of this state are pay
ing insurance companies for policies
and carrying the risk themselves.

MORE MCKINLEY PROSPERITY.

That interesting paper, THE WEST
VIRGINIA ARGUS, edited and pub
lished at Kingwood by one of West
Virginia's newspaper wits, J. Slidell
Brown, has been enlarged from a
seven to an eight column folio. THE
ARGUS is profitable newspaper
property, and the Sentinel heartily
congratulates its owner and editor
on the big share he is getting of
these prosperous Mckinley times.
The ARGUS recently put in an en-
tire new printing outfit and the paper
has as neat an appearance now as
any paper in the state.
We appreciate Bro. Hollis kind
words of praise and encouragement,
as given in the above clipping from
the Grafton Sentinel, but the enc
Kinley prosperity" he speaks of has
not struck us yet, as we are still
considerably in debt for the above
Improvement, and added much more
to our plant under the last Demo-
cratic administration, in the way of
handsome new two-story building
with basement and home for THE
ARGUS which it never had before,
than we have been able to so far
since.

HE SPOKE.

The editor of the Martinsburg
Herald is deserving of encourage.
ment in his laudable efforts OF throw
ing boquets at the Journal, and The
ARGUS would not, if it could, dis
courage the aspiring would-be Con-
gresham. In fact, THE ARGUS pre-
fers the newspaper man to the pres
ent incumbent, but it would be a
Heculean task for the Journal to
manufacture a sentiment in favor of
the Herald, for the latest develop
ments clearly indicate that Dayton
and Holt will secure the Preston
delegation, which announcement we
charge nothing for.
Now the editor of the Herald
who is uncommonly deficient in po-
litical matters, and easily alarmed
by novelty and enthusiasm, declared
some time since that the Weston
scandal was due to Democracy, and
in brotherly spirit we called his
attention to the error. He grew
red-headed and rewarded our
friendly effort by indulging in the
phraseology of the gutter in his
vain attempt to cover up his politi-
cal ignorance. And it may be
fairly questioned, without pre-
sumption, whether man who com
mits such gross political blunders in
this enlightened age, is the proper
man to send to Congress. But even
with the knowledge of his political
ignorance, The ARGUS would lend
encouragement to his political
aspirations in the hopes that he will
advance in wisdom as he grows
older.

The American girl is all right
whether at home or abroad and
can generally take care of herself.
The New York papers tell of a
Boston girl who has been spending
the winter in Italy and was attacked
by ruffian while shopping in
Naples, who grabbed her purse, but
was caught by the throat by the
brave Yankee girl and thrown to the
ground. She recovered her proper
ty and calmly ordered him to move
off, which he did in a dazed con-
dition.

II it is too much for New York, il
must be pretty tough indeed. Mean

which Alphonso Daudet received
Sac, 900 in the start, has been won

Democratic chances continue to
brighten. The Republicans grow
more and more hopelessly divided
as the days go by. BY coming out
boldly for imperialistic government
of Porto Rico, they have stripped
off the mask of Expansion" with
which they concealed their true
policy and the people can now
choose with knowledge. There
can be little doubt how they will
decide when the issue is put plainly
before them.

After spirited discussion, ex-
tending over three days, the Loud
bill, relating to second-class mail
matter, was recommitteG by the
House last week to the Committee
on Postoffices. The majority in
favor of the motion to re-commit
was so decisive that it is regarded as
unlikely that the measure will APP
pear again during the present Con-
gress. Mr.. Loud said after the
vote was announced, that this was
the third time and last, so far as he
was concerned. This shows the
power of the press, as the news
papers all over the country opposed
the Loud Bill and many Of them
sent petitions and personal letters
to their congressman and senators
protesting against the bill.

The Republican platform of this
year may be briefly stated as fol-
lows: Down with the republic.
The earth belongs to the money
kings and trusts. The few are
created to rule and the many to
serve. The poor should be content
with the crumbs that fall from the
tables of the rich. A standing
army of sufficient size to compel
labor to obey the injunctions of the
rich and to starve without a muir
mnr. The moral law is mere senti-
ment and is out Of date.

In the death of George A. Dun
nington, the editor of the Wheeling
Intelligencer, which sad event took
place at the home of his parents in
Fairmont last week, the newspaper
fraternity of the State loses one of
its brightest and best members. He
was just in the prime of life, about
43 years of age and had only been
married year or two, his bride
being Miss Kidwell, of Washing
ton City. Col. Huntington was
Assistant Commissary General on
the Staff of the Commander-in-
Chief of the State Malta with the
rank of colonel. He has been i'll
for several months with paralysis
and part of the time unconscious.
He was stricken down at his editorial
duties in Wheeling and upon be-
coming better, was moved to his
old home in Fairmont, where he
steadily grew worse until death re-
lieved him. The funeral took
place Tuesday afternoon and the
burial In Woodlawn cemetery.

he is trying to get the Office for

The big Republican rally in
Kingwood last Thursday was a
glorious victory for the White fac
ton, as Freer failed to show up at
all and White scooped everything in
sight. The latter was here as hand.
some and red-headed as ever and
spoke for an hour and a half to the
Court House full of people. Hon.
Amos Hartley was chairman of the
meeting and introduced Congress-
man Dayton, Judge Holt and Hon.
w. S. Meredith, all candidates for
Congress who made short addresses,
followed by White. Any Demo
cratic speaker would not have
wanted better fun than to reply to
Mr.. White, but as everything was
solidly Republican, he could say
anything he pleased. He made
one bad break by telling the crowd
that he did not need any votes in
this district, as he had plenty in the
First, Third and Fourth to nominate
and could get along without any
down here.
