CHARLES A. To,Yne.

At great gathering in Lincoln,
Nebraska, the other day, Charles
A. Towne said: "For 124 years
this naticn has held before the
world the light of liberty. You
tell me that the man who lifts his
voice against the doctrine of inn
perialism is pleading the cause of
100000 American citizens. Aye,
he is ohampioning the rights of
the struggling masses ofthe world,
who look to America for an exam
pie. So you ought to be proud
you are an American citizen, and
are able to say, if the Republic
goes down, I am not responsible
for its downfall" (Great applause
and cheers),"

chicago Chronicle for Bryan.

In 1896 the Chicago Chronicle, a
gold Democratic newspaper, re-
fused to support Mr.. Bryan. This
year it will advocate his election.
In an editorial on Mr., Bryan's nom
ination the chronicle says:
"The campaign which is about to
open promises to be one of the
most momentous in the history of
the republic. 1t is good omen
that the Democracy is able to en-
ter upon the contest with harmony
and enthusiasm and with a leader
whose ability, courage and candor
are admitted by all.
"There is not much doubt that
Democrats constitute majority of
the electorate to-day. Toharmon-
ize, to inspire and to urge that ma
iority to the polls and make it eff
feotive on the election of Mr.. Bryan
Is now ihe dat all Demoefate
who have contributed to his splen-
did Endorsement by the Kansas
City convention,
"With this end in view, with toll
Grafton for honest differences of
opinion on non.essentials, with
kindly oblivion for past quarrels
and with steadfast loyalty to the
leader thus chosen, the reunited
Democracy should go forth to a
certain and merited triumph"

n1clAlnIey vs.. Itoosevelt.

New York Journal.
"Graye as are MoKinley's faults
if he and Roosevelt should be elect
ed, every patriot would offer up
daily prayers for the health of Nc
Kinley." "The accession of Roose-
velt to the presidency would be a
calamity. Impetous as the Servian
Emperor, his impetuosity is not
guided by the Kaiser's trained in
telligence. His continual "breaks'
merely annoying or amusing in the
positions he has held heretofore,
would be disasterous to president.
Before his term was year old he
would be likely to have US at war
with half the powers of the world,
and he would probably overrule
the Supreme Court at least once
each month"

No one can maintain for a mo-
ment that we have treated the Fill
ipinos as we would have had a
stronger power treat us City and
State.
The Ingersollian theory that there
is no hell has never taken much
hold of the editors of county papers.
The idea of future punishment is
too closely connected with the sub
soriber who goes three years with
out paying, to leave much room for
sceptioism. No.man can doubt the
existence of that which is eternally
necessary. Ministers are at liberty
to use this argument as they see fit

The days are now gradually
growing shorter and shorter and
before ono hardly realizes the fact
summer will be gone and fall be
upon us. If possible, now is the
time for the poor to prepare for
winter. We can live very easily
now while our gardens are bring
ing forth their luscious products,
but soon all that will be gone.
Every ono should "put up" as
much fruit, vegetables, eto., for
winter use as they possibly can,
for in truth they will be "laying
up for rainy day" But the
trouble is 1--WE never miss the water
till the we'll runs dry"

The British war Office has lately
reported that the total loss of it's
armies in the Boer war number 49,
$40. This includes those killed in
action, died of wounds, missing
and prisoners, died of disease and
invalided homo. Truly John Bull
is paying that price which, as Dom
Paul said, would "startle the world" !"
for the pleasure of crushing the
South African republics; and des.
pite the aid he has received from
Mckinley and Hay the struggle is
not yet over.

Smallpox at Letart.

Charles Sayre and family re.
turned to Letart last Monday from
a two years residence near New
Orleans, Enroute home, one OF
his children took sick and they
stopped off at his brother Dan
Sayre's, in Cincinnati, and a physi-
oian was called in, who pronounced
it a case of scarlet fever. The child
died and the corpse bearing GER
tificate of the health officer of that
city, to the effect that the child
died from that cause, was brought
on by them. On the train another
of the children broke out, They
came to Letart over the O. & o. and
%. r. r., and stopped at the home
of Capt. Ed. Eason. two miles above
Letart. DIR. SaYre of New Haven,
"a brother of Charles. was SUM
moned and he pFonoanced y 9
case of smallpox, @aefe1poh he
telegraphed State Board of Health
officer, DIR. III. a. Barbee, at Point
Pleasant. The dead child was in
tered on Wednesday and great
crowd attended the burial. The
coffin was opened and corpse viewed
by many.
DR.. Barbee arrived on Thursday
morning and pronounced it we'll
defined case. The house was at
once quarantined and guards
thrown about.
The Railroads are making hot
investigation as to what health
officer in Cincinnati is responsible
for allowing the corpse to leave
there as he did and the family to
come on. In their efforts to fix the
responsibility, they will be assisted
by the State Board.
There are now two cases and it
seems there will probably be few
more arising.

An item in an exchange suggests
this thought: What would be the
result if the country newspapers
were to critioise people as freely as
people oritioise the paper? Every
county paper is broad mantle of
charity thrown over many persons.
AS rule the local paper publishes
only the good things about people,
emitting everything unpleasant
If paper would print for one time
only what it hears, and what it is
often asked to print, there would
be lively time for a few days.

nothing to be forgiven for.

The Boss State.

We have within tho limits of the
Mountain State perhaps 100000
acres of what may be practically
termed virgin forests, which en-
brace all the Glasses of hard aud
soft woods. No other state, in our
judgement, can offer opportunities
to tho lumberman comparable with
those of West Virginia. Already
the song of the saw is heard in
every vale that has thus far been
penetrated by railroads-more lum-
Der camps, and moro wealth for the
citizens who hold the titles to these
undeveloped forests. Viewed from
an agricultural and horticultural
standpoint, our state is also max
ing rapid progress.
