They Count on Calamity.

Eight years ago the Democratic
party won the national campaign on
the Homestead strike, ever since
which time the managers and leaders
hail every strike with joy that holds
a promise of victory. News comes
from Washington to the effect that
parties high in the councils of Fusion
are hoping for strike, standing ready
to do anything which will tend to
foment labor troubles the coming
summer. A series of big strikes would
be hailed by Bryan and his Democrat
ic orators as Godsend. They want
an issue over which they can appeal
to the passions of men laboring under
misfortune. Republican prosperity
is worrying the unwashed. What
they want is something which will up
set present conditions. With another
year of increasing prosperity the
show for Democratic ascendancy be-
comes mighty discouraging. The av-
erage Democratic boss just dotes on
Industrial war. Every strike which
is followed by distress means votes for
Bryan.

Frank Gray, of Uniontown, Pa,
was recently in town on business.
Miss Florence Halle, of Pittsburg,
is visiting relatives in town at
present.
Mr.. and Mrs. William Hollinger
have gone to Ohio, where they expect
to spend some time visiting relatives.
Kimmel Frazee and M. Swalp passed
through town few days ago with
their hay baler. They have closed
for the season, having baled over
two hundred tons Of hay and straw.
Miss Allie Frazee attended the
literary society at Accident Friday

J. M. Loudermilk, of Buffalo Run,

We believe that Garrett county
will prove to be not poor county in
the near future. There is strong talk
of mines being opened up in this part

of the county. Men have been leas-
ing all the land they can get in this
vicinity. We have always thought,
and do yet believe there are minerals
in the hills of our county to be deve-
loped and that the time is not far
distant.
Mr.. Asa Beeghly, of Accident, was
in town a few days ago.
Profs. A. L. Lee and NJ. E. Frazee
were attending the literary at the
Accident Normal June LIST. They
were also at the picnic held at Nc
Henry on Saturday last.
Many of our young people are very
anxious for another excursion to run
on the Bear Creek Lumber Company's
r. r. The recent one was quite a
success and all reported an enjoyable
time and magnificent scenery.
The people are agitated very much
over the new school officers and the
system. No wonder many of our
good teachers are leaving the county
when we give man of another coun-
ty the best we have in order to get
him back into our county. 1t is
absurd and enough to make the peo-
pie indignant. What inducement is
there for the young men of the coun-
ty to spend time and money to qualify
themselves for anything under such
government? 1t is plainly seen why
our educated young men go else
where.

If IT were not for the good times,
if it were not for the Chicago platform,
If it were not for their past record, if
it were not that Mckinley has been
such a mise-keeper, if it were not
that the American people know a good
thing when they have it, and if it
were not for few more ifs, it would
be safe to bet money on Democratic
success this fall.

THE only piece of national legisla-

has been responsible, since the cleo

sponsors, and which wrought ruin to
thousands of those who tried to be its
friends,

THREE years ago the farmer ship
ped his three-year-old thousand
pound steer to market and sold it for
$22.50. This year he has sold it for
