West Virginia's Destiny.

With the opening OF the GreenbrIer
branch OF the Chesapeake 6 Ohio rail-
road for business, and the recent sale OF
$4,000 acres of coal and timber land by
ex-senator Camden, In Randolph and
Webster counties, to an eastern syndi-
cate. which will develop the property,
and. the immediate. construction Of a
railroad to serve as an outlet for the
products Of this tract. West Virginia is
closing the century with prime prom
:ises of a, remarkable advancement with
the coming Of the new century. leading
on to the achievement OF her Imperial
destiny as one of the foremost states Of
the Union.
(, Nor are these all the symptoms OF her
approaching pre-eminence. Coming
nearer home. that is nearer Wheeling,
the contamination Of the deal for coal
land In this: county, whereby $3.50 acres
in. Richlsnd district, a few miles north
of the: city, were sold to a syndicate Of
Pennsylvania capitalists. for s1Sl,95S, is
one OF the most cheering assurances OF
The future activity and enlarged pros
perity of this section Of the common
wealth.. These evidences Of progress
and development In a community sin
guiarly blessed with bounties OF nature
and advantages OF location with refer
ence to the markets OF the country, are
hotp taI
throushout the.-lsngth and breadth of
the stateISalmost every week. and our
rapid advancement is challenging the
admiration and enlisting the Interest of
the capitalists and investors OF other
states.

At no time In the history of disease
has there been such an alarming In

particular malady US In that of kidney

the people of this country.
To-day we see relative, q friend or

In n few days we may be grieved to
learn OF their serious illness or sudden
death. caused by that fatal type OF
kidney trouble-Brights disease.
Kidney trouble often becomes ad-
vanced Into acute stages before the
afflicted Is aware OF Its presence; that
is why we read Of 80 many sudden

fessional men, physicians and others.
They have neglected to stop the leak In

The Democrats and Populists In a
certain section OF North Carolna do
not dwell like the brethren in other
sections Of the country In unity, II we
may Judge from the following refer
hnces to the Democrats of Sampson
county by the Wilmington Caucasian:
The highway robbor who sts by tho
roadside for HIS unsuBpecting victim, or
the chicken thief who crouches in the
hen-house In the night-time, or. meaner
stu, the sheep thief who walks on with
an Innocent crying lamb on His back. any
OF these In the estimation OF good people
In Christian community. would be re-
garded as honorable man and gentlemen
compared TO the measly gang calling
themselves tho oanvassins board OF Snmp-
sou county" - =
This has 80 offended the Democracy
that the chairman OF the Sampson
county committee has entered suit for
libel ngainst the Caucasian. As the
truth Is sometimes considered libelous
the court may be perplcxcd to arrive at
n decision.

On Common Ground.

While the Memphis Scimctar has read
the riot act to two Tennessee congress-
men for their opposition to the PROPOSE
ton to reorganize the Democratic par
ty by purgirg the organization OF Bry-
:anism. and: incidentally; Populism, it is
not very happy In recommending as one
of the shibboleths OF the rcgenerated
Democracy tariff REFORM" for tariff
reform by the Democrats virtually
means free. trade. or getting as near to
that destructive policy as possible. In
other. words the Scimetar advises the
Democracy to renew its old warfare on
the protective tariff policy OF the Repub.
lican party.

Issue, and equally certain It Is that the
Democracy can be united in an effort
to curb and regulate, II not do away
with them. There is a simple way to do
this and one In entire accord with n
Democratic principle enunciated before
Bryan had been heard Of outside OF his
own state, and which gave victory to
the party, under the. leadership of Gro
yer Cleveland. That Is the principle nj
a tariff for revenue only. Under such
a tariff the trusts could have no safe
monopoly OF the home market, and with
such monopoly they could not raise the
prices of products at their own sweet
Will. They flourish only In high tariff
countries. where they are secure against
competition from Without" ,t
re- The able Memphis paper leans with n
tower OF Pisa inclination towards Rry-
anism when 1t assumes that trusts have
their sole life and license for existence
because OF the tariff. Such a para.
mount issue would have some OF tho
odors OF the Chicago platform clingIne
to itiwith Bryan's demagogy to support

campaign that the tariff did not foster
trusts. Else why do they thrive in

ne will always be classed as one of the
most important. He was man of large
brain and great energy. Self educated
and without the advantage of early
training in the schools, he equipped
himself magniticently for the work which
was required in his great enterprises. Al
born leader of men, he has scarcely been

Following which he drew about him and
his death will be lamented by many
whom 'he aided. He was warm friend
and his death will be mourned by many
who have been helped, sustained and be,
friended by him, and who will keenly feel
his loss. His own labors contributed
very largely TO the wonderful growth of
Montana and he was one of the most
prominent in developing the great re-
sources Of this state.

has just started on her great career,

and founded what is now known as the
town Of Anaconda. Here he located

Daily fostered it's growth. The smelling

OTHER INDUSTRIES.
Then Mr.. Daily turned his attention to
other Industries. The Anaconda mine
had grown into a great property. Every
foot of depth demonstrated the wisdom
OF Mr.. Daly's purchase. Other copper
mines were uncovered on Anaconda hill.
and the future Of Butte was assured.
Realizing the great need of timber in
working the mines, Mr.. Daily invaded the
virgin forests in the Bitter Root, erected
sawmills and founded the town Of Ham

He also became interested in farming
in the Bitter Root. Senator Hearst had
