SUNDAY EXCURSIONS.

We notice that our city council has
by vote OF to passed an ordinance
forbidding Sunday excursions to
Staunton. The crying necessity OF
such an ordinance, if it were legal, has
not been made manifest. The revival
of blue laws has not been to the credit
of many sections and they have not
tended to increase the veneration of
those seeking to impose them. We
know OF no power which Can shut a.
city to persons who want to visit it
either Sunday, Monday or any other
day. We know of no power to prevent
the railways from stopping their
trains at the depots within our city
limits any day in the week they choose
to, or to prevent their running just as
many trains over their roads as to
them may seem fit. When those roads
stop their trains here just as many
people can get off as desire to, and as
long as they behave themselves can
stay in our town. The right of one
citizen of the United States to 60 from
one place to another and stop there as
long as he wishes to, whether he be
called an excursionist or by any other
name, has never been abridged by any
sound law OF the land, and when
body such rs the city council of Staun
ton undertakes to do it they have
trenched on dangerous ground,
whether from ignorance or design, we
know not We prefer to believe the
latter, and we believe for their own
self respect and to avoid bringing the
city and themselves into contempt they
should repeal such an ordinance as
soon as they can do SO. 1t is not the
desire of THE SPECTATOR to advocate
excursions on Sunday, but it Is our
desire not to see our councilmen un
dertake vain and foolish thing. Sup
pose, as we have often seen, a body of
business men on an excursion through
the country. say from Cincinnati or
elsewhere. and they should land here
on Sunday, would our police force re-
fuse them admission, and with club
and gun drive them again into their
train and order the train to pull out.
Ii not, where shall the line be drawn?
We ask reply in all sincerity.

SHORT POLITICS

The report comes FROM West Virgin
q that when Mr.. Bryan spoke there
asst week the people asked the b & o
and the Ohio River Railways to give
rates and proper facilities for
them to get to Clarksburg and Park |
ersburg, where he was to speak. The
B. & 0. made reduced rate, but put
on no trains to meet the wants OF the
people Or to ruit the hour of the speak
lug, 50 that thousands stood waiting
aloug the railway, with no mears
afforded them of going to the points
of speaking. and thus that road played
a hypocritical part.
Tue Ohio River road however. which
IL owned al d operated by the Stand
ard Oil Trust, refused any reduced
rate at all, aud in addition refused to
allow the car in which Mr.. Bryan was
travelling to be hitched to It's train.
The local authorities were anxious to
make rates. it is said. and give facili-
ties. but the report is that Mr.. 5. b.
Elkins procured Mr.. H. II. Rodgers,
OF the Oil Trust, to deny the people
any chance to hear Mr.. Bryan, except
in 20 far as regular trains gave it, and
the Oil Magnate agreed to this and cut
of the rate and facilities.
Had it been a circus or negro p. chic,
or had Mr.. Hanna. OF Ohio. been speak
lug there is no doubt of the fact that
all opportunity the people desired
would have been given them to be
present.
The trick was not well played The
b. & o. tried to deceive and was de-
tected. Amy road other than the Ohio
River road which Is known to be
Standard OIL property, conld have
done such thing better. 1t was a
very degraded kind of politics, but
shows how the trusts treat the people
and how they WELD every influence
and DO every act calculated to affect
Mr.. Bryans chances. The thing has
caused CONSERVATION throughout the
country and will make Thousands o.
votes for Bryan. People who ha(
never thought OF voting for him befor'
are now loud in their denuncIation o
these trust methods, and are declarini
for him. Nothing could have happen

The Eminent Kidney
and Bladder Specialist,

There is a disease prevailing in this
country most dangerous because so decep-
tive. Many sudden deaths are caused by
h-heart disease. pneumonia, heart failure
or apoplexy are often the result Of kidney
disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad-
vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack
the vital organs. or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Then the richness of the blood-the albumen
leaks out and the sufferer has Bright's
Disease. the worst form Of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-ROot the new dis
covery is the true specific for kidney. bladder
and urinary troubles. 1t has cured thousands
of apparently hopeless cases, after all other
efforts have failed. At druggists in fifty-cent
and dollar sizes. A sample bottle sent free

Root and its wonderful cures. Address

TEN cONGRESSMEN.

Republican candidate on both Occa
siuns was the same, he was man Of
force, energy and personal magnetism.
With all due respect to that party We
must submit that on this occasion they
do not have such a candidate and We
doubt whether he can carry his full
party vote; whereas the Democrats
are becoming more and more united,

The composite chairman Of the Popu-

is high priest in the trust temple, or.
at least, that he is a reckless, abandoned
plutocrat. 70 do Mr.. Jones entire JUS

this until Mr.. Jones denies il, because
