Blaclkwood-Neale Euptials at
High Noon Yesterday.
The marriage of Mr.. Charles X.
Blaokwood, of Look Seven, Kama
wha county, to Miss Margaret L..
Neale, Wednesday, June 27, 1900,
at noon, at the home of the brides
parents, at Ben Lomond, in the
presence of about 100 guests,
was one of the mostsnotable So
cial events of the month of roses, !"
that ever took place in this county.
The ceremony was performed by
the Rev. A. G. Grinnan, Rector of
Christ Church, Point Pleasant,
who read the beautiful Episcopal
wedding ceremony, that made these
two young people tone" for life.
The bride was dressed in pure
white and looked pretty, sweet and
charming. She was attended by
her little cousin Miss Margaret
Neale, of this oity, who acted as
flower girl. The groom wore the
conventional black, but had no at
tendant.
The wedding march was played
by Miss Lizzie Moore, of Elwell.
After the wedding services, the
guests were invited to partake of a
sumptuously prepared Wedding
lunch. During the feast of good
things, Mr.. Q. q. Lewis got the
ring, placed in the BRIDES cake,
Miss Alice Neale, the dime and
Miss Ida Moore the darning
needle.
The groom is a prosperous Kama
wha river farmer, and gentleman
who stands we'll with all GLASSES of
people. The bride is the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. e. l..
Neale, of Ben Lomond, and is one
of the most charming, refined and
popular young ladies in the county,
and was favorite with everyone,
whose pleasure it was to know her.
After the wedding and the lunch
served, the bridal party was driven
to Gallipolis Ferry, and came to
Point Pleasant, where they took the
afternoon K. & M. train for Colum-
bus, Ohio, and from there they will
go to Toledo. and from there they
will take ID. e. o. lake steamer
for Buffalo, N. Y, and will also
visit Niagara Falls and then ex-
tend their bridal trip to impor-
tant points in Canada, and on their
return will reside on the groom's
farm at Lock Seven, on Kanawha
river.
Many valuable and costly pres
ents were given the bride and

and Mrs. Geo. Sterrett, living on
the lower side of Kanawha, few
miles above town, was standing
under a cherry tree yesterday,
where the house-girl was picking
cherries, and when in the act of
saving off limb, the saw fell from
her hand, striking the child on the
top of the head, making large and
ugly, but not dangerous cut.
DR.. Mossman was called to attend
her.

the islands new fields for their talents, and the
sufficiently sharp and unscrupuous demagogues
who have been developed there under Spanish
methods, to gain enough of popular support and
power to secure Senatorships and seats In Con-
gress and Federal offices in the future States,
and all would strive TO ingratiate themselves
with the inhabitants by clamoring loudly for
Statehood. Every such demagogue, native or
imported from the United States, would begin
to barter and dicker with partisans in the
States. holding out promise Of future assistance
in political contests here.
1t is already clear that the Democratic dem
agOgues in Congress scent the possible opp0r-
tunit,. If they can get Spanish islands admitted
as Territories and colonize them a little with
skilled organizers from Tammany Hall, their
appeal for american citizens who have gone
into business in the islands and for better
protection of investments and encouragement
of trade will not be long delayed Each party
in Congress will be told that these Territories
are inevitably coming in or later, and Will
naturally take sides against those who delay
them. But behind all this scheming and strife
the question of questions will again be hidden,
as men are trying to hide it now. Do Americans
want the people of these islands to help govern
the United States?

4 TIMELY WORD.

President Mckinley has rot lost the faculty
of saying the right thing at the right time.
That faculty was a great force IN the last
Presidential campaign, and 1t is doubtful
whether a more effective speech will be made
in the campaign that Is coming than the COM
paratively brief one regarding imperialism at
the Ohio banquet. That the President believed
such declaration from him would have greater
weight than from anybody else is an evidence
of the shrewd practical Judgment with which
he meets ISSUES depending upon public opin-
ion. He personally must SO exercise and abuse
the power of Chief Executive as TO create i'm
perialism if any such thing is TO be created al
all while he holds that high office. He person
ally is so known TO the people Of the country.
and has been so far honored by their confidence
both in peace and in war that he has full right
to expect the peoples faith in him and knowl-
edge of him to go far toward settling the whole
question.
The best of the Presidents brief address was
that in every line and word he showed a clearer
comprehension Of his duty and its limits than
his critics. He holds it duty to exercise power
over the new possessions, not for the self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of the United States, but for
the uplifting. enfranchisement and lasting ben
eft of the inhabitants of those possessions. Nor
could any statesman have expressed more dis
tinctly and yet more carefully the difference
between earnest and unweared effort toward
the development among such inhabitants OF all
the local self-government of which they may
prove capable and any pledge or implication
that they shall ultimately take part in govern
ing the United States. This Nation governs
itself. and does not want to be governed wholly
or in part by men of alien race. birth and
speech living beyond its bounds. II can gladly
give them all the protection and help within
its power. But it cannot at any price or on any
terms part with the power to control its own
destinies for the protection and welfare of those
whose birthright is American freedom.

ARTILLERY ENL4RGElfENT.

The New-York Chamber of Commerce re-
Gently petitiOned Congress to give immediate
attention to the strengthening of the artillery
branch of the Army. The Boston Chamber or
Commerce and those of other cities have added
the weight of their influence in the same direc-
ton, and there seems 10 be general agreement
that, whatever is done in other directions about
Army reorganization, the proper manning of our
coast defences should not be neglected.
The present enlisted strength of the coast
artillery is 9,102 men. Careful estimates lnive
been made showing that to furnish one detaci-
ment for each gun and mortar now in place,
range finding men, electricians and necessary
non commissioned officers would require 18,402
artllerymen for our coast fOrtitications alone.
1t is manifestly foolish TO have expensive mod
ern guns without men trained to handle them.
An artillery force of the present day cannot be
improvised The management OF big guns is a
profession. and expertness in it comes only with
practice So If the guns which have been
erected for the protection of our great cities are
TO be serviceable in an emergency-now entirely
unforeseen, but not the less TO be prepared for
the necessary force must be provided and
trained. Moreover the money spent in guns is
likely TO be wasted if sufficient number of
men is not provided. The few artillerymen
now at posts doubtless do their best TO keep the
Governments property in perfect condition, but
Army officers have reported that it was 1mpos-
sibe to achieve the best results and keep equip
ment from deterfOrating without giving more
attention to it than the force allows. Anybody
who knows how an unused engine Will de-
teriorate will realize the necessity of a full
complement of men to give constant care to
every part of these guns, which have been built
at such cost Otherwise they may be found in
tan unfit fnr, nriff tool
moment.
The bill providing for this much needed i'm
provement in the artillery service has been at
tached to the general measure for Army re-
organization. 1t is feared by those who are
taking active interest in coast defence work
that conflicting views aroused by the larger
proposition may operate to the disadvantage of
the reform which nobody seems to oppose. If
these fears are we'll founded and there Is any
real danger of the reorganization bill being
beaten or even seriously delayed, 1t might be
wise TO separate the measures, and so quickly
secure the additional artilerymen. who are on
all accounts so desirable.

A SOUTHERN APPOINTMENT.

When the President named Mr.. Harry Still
well Edwards for postmaster of Macon, Ga,
those who considered merely the fitness Of the
appointment naturally supposed that the nomi-
nation would be confirmed without difficulty or
delay: for il was well known that Mr.. Edwardt
blemished character, q successful author whose
writings have been n particular source Of pride
and pleasure to the people # his native State
and city, but also old friend and fellow
townsman of Senator Bacon. to whom he had
rendered political services Of unusual value IN
years gone by. But though the date Oh which
new postmaster was expected TO take office has
passed. the nomination Is still unconfirmed
Has Senatorial courtesy" been violated and an
affrOnt put upon Senator Bacon by this singular
treatment OF Mr.. Edwards? That would be n
natural conclusion, but the precise reverse Is
the fact. The nomination Is being held ND by
Senator Bacon himself and will be confirmed if
1t is confirmed at all. against his wish and vote
OF course there is an explanation OF this singu-
lar proceeding. and Ii Is found in recently pub
lished correspondence between Senator Bacon
what obscurely appears in Senator Bacon's let
ter TO Mr.. Edwards; the real reason plainly an
pears in Mr. Edwardss letter 10 Senator Bacon.
The facts in part are these: The nomination
OF Mr. Edwards as postmaster Of Macon was
brought about chiefly through the efforts OF
