The transport Sherman arrived at
San Francisco from Manila last week,
a striking object lesson of the success
Of our Philippine policy. On board
the vessels were 81 dead soldier, ACT
invalids, So convalescents and y in
sane. Besides her dread load OF men,
tai and physical wrecks, the Sherman
brought most discouraging reports Of
affairs in the far East. 1t is said that
the hospitals in Manila are overcrowd-
ed with victims Of bullets and dis
ease. Fully 1000 soldiers now lie on
the cots in the hospitals, many Of
whom will die before they can ever
reach home. Hardly enough ships can
be provided to carry the sick and de-
mented from Manila, and the soldiers
who are on duty there are making
practically no Roadway against the in
surgent forces.
1t seems certainty that the United
States will have just about the same
experience in the Philippines that
Spain had-and Spain spent nearly
four hundred years in unsuccessful ef-
forts to subjugate the natives.
Vote to let the Philippines alone.

Mr.. BRYAN made a splendid ele

Mr.. BRYAN made a splendid cleo
pioneering tour through New York
State last week. He was greeted by
great crowds at every point he stop
ped and spoke the words Of truth and
soberness to the people. Monday
morning he invaded West Virginia,
and the reception accorded him has
never before been equaled in this
State. At Huntington, where he
spoke first, he was met by 10000 peo-
pie, and at every place the train stop
ped great throngs crowded about his
car. At Hinton it is said that fully
$4,000 person had gathered to hear
him, and the most unbounded enthu-
siam prevailed.

Political Notes.

The colored voters had lively time
in Martinsburg last Saturday night,
when the Democratic colored club
and the Republican colored club each
held enthusiastic meetings.
Members of Democratic club and
of a Republican club in Washington
have made curious wager, which the
authorities may not allow them to
carry out. In case of the reelection
of President Mckinley the members
of the Democratic club are to ride
donkeys at the end Of the inaugural
procession, each donkey being draped
in mourning, and each rider wearing
crepe. In case Bryan is elected the
Republican club is to secure an ele-
plant and bring up the rear Of the
procession with the elephant draped in
mourning, and each rider wearing
crepe. One Of the members Of the
clubs claims that through friend he
can secure two elephants for use in
the parade without any trouble.
Mr.. Bryan is as good as elected
that is, if luck signs are worth any
thing. NJ. F. Stultz, Of Elk Horn,
this State, has sent to Mr.. Bryan what
he thinks is sure mascot-the left
hlndfoot Of graveyard rabbit. Mr..
Stultz killed the rabbit himself in the
graveyard at shutdown within 10 steps
Of the spot where, in 1892, he killed
a rabbit, the left hindfoot of which he
sent to Grover Cleveland prior to his
election. The little gift for Mr. Bry-
an was tied with a blue ribbon by
Miss Ella Hawkins in the same room
where, in 1892, her sister tied a sim
liar ribbon on the rabbits foot which
was then sent to Mr.. Cleveland. Mr..
Stultz is thorough believer in the
good luck attributed to the left hind
foot of a graveyard rabbit and thinks
that his good luck in finding the rab-
bit within four minutes after he en-
tered the graveyard is a sure sign Of
good luck for Mr.. Bryan, just as his
success in getting the rabbit eight
years ago was an omen of Mr.. Cleve-
lands success.

A Remarkable Story.

A recent dispatch from Hunting
ton, this State, tells the following re-
markable story:
Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock
Mrs. Walter J. Swanson gave birth to
triplets. An hour later Mrs. Howard
E. Swanson similarly surprised her
husband. The circumstances are ex-
traordinary. Less than year ago
Dorothy and Parthenia Freeman,
twin sisters, were the bellies Of Breed
en-, a mining village Of Southwestern
West Virginia. Living outside Of town,
their happy farm home was the scene
of much gayety, and many was the
country beau who offered his heart
and hand to either of the beautiful
girls. So alike were they that often
times the lovesick swain became
mixed with regard to the object Of
his devotion. Whether this had any
thing to do with their lack Of success
cannot be said, but all were turned
away until Walter ]. and Howard B..
Swanson, dashing and young, and also
twins, came on the scene. They were
alike as were the girls. Quickly, how
ever, love conquered them. Within
three weeks after the first meeting the
happy marriage bells rang out in the
village church. Never, perhaps, have
four people been married when brides
and grooms were respectively so much
alike. They settled upon the broad
acres of the old Freeman homestead,
and now each father is the happy
possessor of three bouncing babies.
Walter Swanson declares that his q
pounds of girls are much more to be
desired than Howard's 80 pounds Of
boys, and says that the only thing he
regrets is that he can't name one Of
his girls for Bryan, but he has done
the best he could under the circum-
stances by calling them Willie, Jennie
and Bryana, while his brother, who is
the stanchest of stanch Republicans,
glories in being the happy father Of
Hanna, Mckinley, and Teddy.
A great many people have been to
call upon the new arrivals and several
handsome gifts have been presented to
them. Among the visitors last week
were Hon. A. B White, Republican
candidate for Governor, and Judge
John H. Holt, Democratic candidate
for Governor OF West Virginia, who
are now speaking in that section.
Both Of these gentleman were much
chagrined that neither was honored
in the selection Of names for the little
Swansons, and offered in case Of poIit-
ical success to remember the family if
the name could be changed.
The parents refused, however, and
Judge Holt laughingly said I'll be
perfectly satisfied If you will remem-
Der me next time, though l don't
know whether you will do it or not,
because I'm Democrat and it looks
like you are going into baby trust.
Straightway, however, the agreement
was made, and that night, when the
children were baptized, Judge Holt
acted as godfather for all three of the
little Democratic girls.

A CERTAIN employer Of more or
less laboring men not thousand miles
from Shepherdstown is said to be car
rying on most strenuous campaign
with his workmen. A few weeks ago
he informed them it would be to their
interest to vote for Mckinley. No
one objected to this form of missiona-
ry work, but he was not satisfied that
his hint would be taken. Latterly he
has become very bold and by threats
and bulldozing thinks he has bullied
the men into voting as he wishes them
to. Its asserted that spies have been
set upon the workmen, and they are
plainly told that they will be kicked
out of the works if they dare vote for
Bryan.
This is a new sort of business for
this section, where intelligent men
have always regarded their souls as
their own and where they have voted
to suit themselves. We hope that
they will continue to do so. This
manufacturer is just about as depend
ent upon them as they are upon him.
He isn't giving them red cent more
than they earn and he is getting all
out Of them that he can. They have
Just as much right to wait upon him
in body and threaten to 60 out on
strike if he votes for Mckinley as he
has to threaten to discharge them if
they vote for Byan. One method is
as sensible as the other.
If the workmen surrender their
manhood to such an employer they
will certainly live to regret it. An
employer who pursues such a course
shows by this very action that he is
not of the right stripe, and it will be
only matter of time until he will do
worse.
Let these workmen remember the
history of the Crawford bicycle works
at Hagerstown. The Crawfords did
exactly this same thing and by their
predictions of business disaster on the
one hand and golden prosperity on
the other actually succeeded in fooling
good many of their Democratic
hands into voting for Mckinley. The
prosperity he was to bring never came,
for today few lonesome men tramp
through the deserted buildings that
gave employment to thousands under
Cleveland's administration. The trust
shut the establishment down far more
etfectually than Bryan could have
done.
The persons who sold their man
hood lost their jobs to boot.
1t is a safe thing to stand by ysur
principles.

A SMALL manufacturer who lives
near Shepherdstown, it is said, has
announced that he will not buy any,
thing from a Democratic store-keeper.
This is about the smallest bit of par
tizan prejudice that we have ever had
to record. OF course nobody cares
much where he buys his sugar and
molasses or where he trades his but
ter and eggs, and our merchants will
live just as they did before he came
into the neighborhood. 1t is to be
regretted, though, that any person iv-
ing in this community should show
such spirit.
However. if this gentleman chooses
to set himself up as person who de-
sires to be disagreeable and offensive
he has that privilege. 1t will be no
trouble and little loss for our people
to let him severely alone.

THE Hagerstown Nail Of Tuesday
says that Heber Donaldson, store
keeper of that place, recently bought
bill Of chinaware from a drummer
and then wrote this note to the house:
please do not ship the goods l or
dered until November 10, and if Bryan
is elected cancel my order"
1t occurs to us that Mr.. Donaldson
is a good person for the Democrats of
Hagerstown never to patronize again
as long as he lives.

An attack was lately made on G. F
Collier, of Cherokee, Iowa, that nearly
proved fatal. 1t came through his kid
neys. His back got so lame he could
not stoop without great pain, nor sit in
a chair except propped by cushions. No
remedy helped him until he tried Elec-
trio Bitters, which effected such a Won
derful change that he writes he feels like
a new man. This marvellous medicine

Five Berkeley county couples were
married in HagerstOwn last week dur
ing the fair: Irvine H. Brown and
Miss Allie White; Archie Simms and
Miss Belle Cess; Edgar Wood and
Miss Ellen Hedges; Frank V. Powell
and Miss Daisy Coleman William
Gregory and Miss Artie V. Welty.
Edward Lee Rockenbaugh, former
ly of this county, was badly beaten at
Ellicott City, Nd, during political
meeting last Saturday night by
crowd Of negroes and white Republi-
cans. His little boy John was also
hurt. Rockenbaugh had interfered
to protect small boy who was being
beaten for hurrahing for Bryan at a
Republican meeting.
The Hagerstown fair last week was
a success iii every particular The
total attendance for the four days is
estimated at 52,000persons. The as
ISOLATION expects to clear enough to
pay its Indebtedness of $4,000. The
attractions this year were all right
a clever lot Of acrobats, daring BIZ
cyclist, racing ostrich, an unexcelled
display of poultry and fine exhibits in
every department. The management
ought not, however, to allow the vul-
gar hoochee-coochee shows upon the
grounds.
Because her parents objected to
the attentions which a young man
was paying her, Louella Sours, aged
16, committed suicide last Saturday,
at her home in Hagerstown. She
took six grains Of strychnine, Fifteen
minutes after she took the poison she
was dead, expiring in violent convul-
sions. Her intimacy with her lover,
Lee Harper, dates back some months.
1t is said her parents strenuously OBJ
jected to her keeping company with
Harper, whose parents, too, were also
said to have been opposed to the
match. She went to drug store and
bought the poison, saying she wanted
it to kill rats. In the presence Of her
mother and sister she emptied the
poison into a tin cup, poured water
on and swallowed it, saying it was
headache powders. Miss Sours was the
daughter of John Sours, carpenter,
who removed to Hagerstown from
Luray, Va, four years ago.
