An ADMIRABLE SUGGESTION.

The Register has heretofore men
toned the suggestion of the name of
ex-senator ". H. Tarr, of Brooke
county, as an available and strong
candidate for the Democratic nomina-
ton for Congress. The Panhandle
News in its latest issue has this to say
upon the subject:
There seems to be move on foot in a
quiet way, among some of the party
lealers and political friends of ex-senator
w. III. Tarr, OF this county. to bring his
name before the convention. to be held
on the nth of July. as the candidate for
Congress for this district.
Mr.. Tarr, on being interviewed con-
corning the matter says that while he
had been interviewed by MANY OF his
friends as to whether the matter would
be agreeable to him or not and he had
said that the same reasons that had pre-
vented him from accepting the nomina-
ton for the State Senate would prevent
his going before the Congressional con-
vention. Moreover. he thinks the romi-
nation should go TO the lower end of the
district, as considering Wheeling in this
end, we have had more than our share
of the candidates.
THE hearty and earnest expressions of
support from home and Wheeling friends
not entirely from the Democratic marry
may yet influence the Senator to recon
slider his decision.
When asked his opinion as to the re-
suit Of the coming elections, his express
sion was, that the people would assert
themselves, and the result would he

had controlled the Mckinley administra-
ton we would not to-day have had on our
hands a cruel and needless foreign war,
costing us hundreds of millions of treas
ure and thousands of lives. and besides
that compelling us to abandon the funda-
mental principles of American liberty and
take up the imperialfstic doctrines of
European monarchies and empires. We
receive the platform with enthusiasm.
1t appeals to the hearts and minds of the
people. And better than that, we have
a candidate standing on it whose word is
the convincing pledge that he will make
this noble chart of American liberty and
Government the governing principles and
actions of his administration.

cient member of Congress-"
Senator Tarr possesses all the ele-
ments of strong candidate. In abil-
ity he is the peer of any man in the
olstriet, his popularity has been abund-
antly shown in the past. and if nomi-
mated he would have a preponderance
of votes to his credit on election day.
Many good men have been mentioned
for this honor Senator Tarr stands
in the front rank no matter from what
point of view he may be judged.

THINK RIGHT-THEN VOTE RIGHT

IhAoAA
The political campaign soon TO open
will be the most important in the coun
trys history. If the Republican
party shall again be successful IL
means the steady growth of imperial
ism, foreign wars, international COM
plications, continued high and perhaps
increased taxation, the perpetuation OF
trusts and monopolies, increased gov
ernmental expenditures, larger
standing army, a bill having already
been prepared increasing the regular
force to $4,000 men, unconstitutional
methods and politics, ship subsidies,
foreign understanding and alli-
ances, official rascality to far greater
extent than that lately coming to light
in Cuba, and no one knows what else.
Democratic success, on the other hand,
ity, to belief in and guidance by the
Constitution, to reduced taxation, de-
creased expenditures, the maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine, and to the
strong yet simple political faiths and
practices of the fathers of the republic.
Between these two things the Amer
lean people must make a choice. That
they will make wise selection is I'M
doubted. That means the success of
the Democratic ticket III November.

THE CHINESE SITUATION.

The present horror and ultimate
danger of the Chinese situation be-
comes more apparent with each pass
ing day. News filters through slowly
TO Europe and America, but each be-
lated and fragmentary item adds, when
pieced into what has come before, to
the terrible and unprecedented condi-
! tion of affairs, and tends to confirm
the now all-pervading belief that the
| foreigners at Pekin have met horrible
death, that all legation and church
buildings have been burned, and that
thousands of native Christians were
massacred. Organized government ap-
pears to have come to an end. The
Emperor, Kwang-Su, is said to have
Tuan, and the Dowager Empress is al
| legged to be insane as the result of
drugs taken with suicidal intent by the
same demand. Prince Tuan appears
to be supreme, and to have at his back
at least a quarter of million soldiers,
who are constantly being reinforced by
arrivals from the northern provinces.
From day to day a few missionaries
report their arrival at coast towns,
chiefly in the yet comparatively quies-
cent southern provinces, but those in
the north are apparently doomed to
the common fate of determination.
Meanwhile the powers appear to be
doing little to the purpose. There was
a time when Japan could have rescued
the Christians at Pekin, but although
she stood ready to act she was held
back. Even now seventy thousand
Japanese troops are ready to embark,
but first Russia and then Germany OBJ
/ jected, and in the meantime women
are violated and murdered and men
and children slaughtered. The allied
forces at Tien Tsin and Taku, about
twenty thousand in number, appear to
be barely able to hold their ground,
and may presently be overwhelmed.

that somebody is TO be held responsible,
Germany has arranged to send a diyis-
ion to China, India troops are on the
way. division may go later on from
South Africa, and France and Italy are
| forwarding small attachments. But all
! these are two weeks to a month away
| from China. The government at Wash

| having been ordered home from Porto
Rico and three from Cuba. while the

| State, but here is the old difficulty.
Five weeks will be required to land
these men on Chinese soil, and with
the exception of the Ninth infantry,
now in China, no troops have been
/ withdrawn from the Philippines. The
Yankee is being fitted out at Philadel-
| phia to carry one thousand marines,
/ but there's another month or more.
The nations appear to be palsied by
unpreparedness and mutual distrust,
while the work of massacre goes on
without effort to stop it. There must
| be a radical change in international
policies, or the yellow man will fully
accomplish his bloody ambition.

Rearing Ducks for Market.

There are several kinds of ducks
reared for market. but it is the most
profitable one which should be chosen.
Fancy often stands in the way of this
matter of profit. The poultry keeper
is too apt to look at his fowls through
the spectacles of fancy. and if his
birds please his fancy. he has plenty
of excuses to make for defects. But
this is not business, and when it is the
money coming ia which is left to tell
the story, the tale is quite different. AS
regards ducks, especially, there is a
great difference in the kind and breed.
Kind IS distinguished from breed here
for the reason that there are many
kinds. good. bad, and Indifferent, and
shades between, Of every breed; and
sometimes it is true that breed gain
or suffers through tne management
But figures won't lie, uni ess they are
forced to by too much PR ssure. And
honest figures prove distinctly that
there are ducks which surpass Others
in relation to breed. Fancy goes long
way, and so each country seems to

Errs for Hatchinr.

Eggs for Matching should be gathered
almost every hour during the day, says
poultry writer in the Homestead.
When the egg is laid it is in its nigh
est state of freshness, If left in the
nest and one hen after another permit
ted to sit upon it the heat viii start in
cubation, and if it is exposed to lower
Temperature afterward, the germ is
Killed and the egg DECAYS. This is one
cause of so many spoiled eggs that is
not generally known or needed by poul-
trymen. If the weather is cold they
should be gathered often to prevent
them chilling. The cols may not be so
much as to actually freeze an egg, but
it may be cold enough to chill it so it
will not hatch. An egg is not frozen
so as to crack the shell until the tier
mometer reaches 10 to 10 degrees.
which is a point lower than should be
reached in any poultry house. After the
eggs have been gathered they should
be kept at about a temperature of go
degrees and never be subjected to auy
lower temperature than about 10 for
safety
