WEST VIRGINIA
STATE CONVENTION
POPULIsTs VOTE DOWN A PROPOSE
TION TO INDORsE BRYAN AND
TOWNE BY 11S TO IS.
FULL STATE MIDDLE-OF-THE-R
TICKET NOMINATED.

The Populists of West Virginia had
quite spirited time at their state con-
vention. w. G. Schartiger sends us a
report cut from Parkersburg daily. Nat
Ward Fitzgerald, who was the party's
nominee for governor in 1896, but who
withdrew in the interest of the Demo-
cratic candidate, was present and had,
no doubt, personally worked hard to get
enough Towne Democrats to attend to
control the convention. But he failed
and proposition to indorse Bryan and
Towne was defeated by vote of 118 to
10.
The convention met pursuant to call
of the regular state chairman, S. H. Pier
soil, w. C. Raleigh, of Wood county and
A. B. Thorne, of ROane county, secre-
tary, with D. w. McGeorge, of Harrison
county as assistant. The account sent
us does not so state, but we presume the
temporary officers were made perma-
nent.
The platform starts out with strong
plank IOT the lulIldllVc anu referendum,
declares for public ownership of public
utilities as remedy for trusts; favors
abolishing the contract system in public
improvements, favors the state dispen-
sary as mitigation of the whisky evil;
denOunces wars of conquest for acquisi-
ton of territory.
The following ticket WAS nOminated.
GovernOr-H. A. Huston, of Monroe.
Auditor-W. C. Raleigh, Of Wood.
Attorney General-To be filled by the
state central executive committee.
State Treasurer-John Bremen, Of
Hampshire.
State Superintendent of Schools-F. e.
Ashburn, of Doddridge.

CHINESE BUDDHISM,


1t Has Many Features Like the Relig-
ion of Christian Nations.
There is a great deal of doubt as to
the actual time Buddhism was introduce
ed into China. In the year A. D. 60,
however. as is pretty generally accepted,
the Emperor Hou Wing Ii had vision
in which he saw a great golden image,
whose head was surrounded with a
halo, which was construed to mean
Truth. Prince Tsu, the emperor's
brother, having heard Of Buddhism from
India. declared the vision to be nothing
but the great Buddha. Thereupon a
mission was dispatched which after
some years returned with a wooden i'm
age, a counterpart of the golden one,
also one book and Hindu priest The
Llama Temple. which is the great tenn
pie at Pekin, was called the Yung Ho
Kong, Is q Mongol Buddhist monastery,
in which there are about 1900 acting
priests. Under the control OF q Gagan,
or living Buddha, the dogmas of Bud
dhism are taught. Metaphysics, ascetic
duties, astrology and medicine comprise
the course OF instruction. Many Chinese
are followers OF the doctrine Of Con-
fucius, one of the principal tenets of
which is the worship OF ancestors, a
provision of which creed is that no son
shall live more extensively than his
parents.
Buddha was born, according to
Chinese traditions, 623 years before
Christ. The Buddhist religion embraces
a trinity known as the Three Precious
Ones, viz: Buddha, the past; Dharma,
the present and the Lord, and Lenga,
the future and the priesthood. There
are ten prohibitions in the moral code
killing, stealing, adultery, lying, selling
wine, speaking false of others, self
praise and backbiting, parsimony and
scoffing, uncorreetea anger and reviling
the Three Precious Beings. In the year
SO B. c. the teachings of Buddha were
put In writing. In "A. D. 400 the entire
canon of faith was compiled, describing
Buddha as emerging from Heaven, as
being born of virgin, welcomed BY
angels, received by an aged saint and
presented in a temple after having been
baptized with water and later with fire.
He is describedl as having astonRhed
the wise men with his understanding
Later he was led into captivity, where
he was tempted by the devil, and AFTER
wards went ahouc" preaching and per-
forming wonders. A friend of helpoor
he was TRANSPORTED on a mount, was
sent into hell, but finally assembled to
heaven. In Thibet the Buddhist church
Is located, where 1t has it's pope, cardi-
mails, priests, bishops and nuns, just the
same as the Roman Catholic church;
also infant baptism, confirmation masses
: the dead, PROFESSIONS, rosaries,
alter, candles and chaplets. It
ally known why the Chinese
aversion by foreign mis-
e1iis - ~ chief reason Is tnat they
are convinced mat they have a pretty
good religion OF their own
No county has had so much misrepre-
sentation as mas China. In future years.

contributing to the success OF the ex-
position and to convey to him assur-
ances of their personal respect, and
that France was heart and soul a

Just as the mayors were about to sit
down here was a curious incident.

a casserole, for which he will be dis

and a small posse whom the sheriff
had summoned on the ground went to

The workmen left for their homes

up the middle of East Center street
and reached the Lehigh Valley rail-
road station. Here had gathered a
large crowd of Poles, Slavs and Hun
gagians, men, women and children,
who lined both sides of the street.
Fire With Awful Effect.
A shot rang out from saloon. This
was followed by a shower of stones.
Many of the crowd had picked up
sticks and stones and were acting in
a threatening manner. Seeing this.
the sheriff, who had previously eau
toned his men to keep cool and not
to use their firearms, commanded them
TO fire. The order was obeyed, with
