Repnblican Kumblings.

AS the ides of November 1900
approach there are rumbling indi-
cations of coming storm which
aueur ill for the rickety old Repub-
lican boat Straws tell which way
the wind is setting and the signifi-
canoe of this kind of indication is
gagged very largely by the size and
style of the straw. When a man
turns his back upon his former as
sooiates in politics or religion or
any other department of human Of
fort you may safely count it as a
sure thing that there is cause for
such action. Such man may be
YER small speciman of humanity
and in that case the matter is not
of much importance, for small
man may he turned by very small
thing. But when the man who
turns his back upon his former as
sociates chances to be man of
broad mind, ripe culture and a
statesman, withal, it means much
more. It means that the same
causes which have been brought
into operation upon him will also
operate upon many others, partly
by the force of example and greatly
by the exercise of their reasoning
powers.
So, when we find such men as
u. s Senator Hoar, of Massachus-
etts, u. S. Senator Mason, of Hi
nois, and many others of great abil-
ity as statesmen turning their backs
upon the present Mckinley admin
istration it may we'll cause deep
concern to Boss Hanna, master of
the Republican ship. Such men
as these do not take such action
without good and sufficient reasons,
and they are generally abundantly
able to give their strong reason for
their action.
This is certainly the case in this
instance. Mr.. Hoar has not been
slow in the denunciation of the
Mckinley policy in the Philippines
the policy of benevolent assim-
ilation," by shot, shell and bayonet
and Mr.. Mason and other strong
Republicans are not far behind.
The avowed imperialistic policy of
the present administration comes
in for good strong wholesome de-
nunciation from the same quarter.
Not only this but the foreign poll
cy of the Mckinley administration
gets good share of blame.

A Word to business Mon.

The merchant who would have
good trade all round must of necessi-
ty take advantage of the privilege of
Advertising; for advertising is a
privilege. 1t is really the only
m cans merchant has of CONVEX
sing each day with the families of
his town, and telling what bar
gains he has. The man who gets
the public eye and ear is the one
whose bank account grows unless
he is engaged in business he
wants the people to know nothing
about. The Daily and Weekly Reg
ister is the medium-the best and
most desirable in the county-for
the ADVERT. err. 1t doesn't give it's
space away, but the prices are
reasonable. Try it and see the re-
suit.

Tronnle over ar. Brynn.

AS if our Republican friends
had not troubles enough of their
own to attend to they are getting
into great worry over Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan is wicked silverite;
Mr.. Bryan attends dinner at the
Democratic Club in New York
City; Mr.. Brynn antagonizing the
great and good Boss Hanna and
his administration; Mr.. Bryan this
and Mr.. Bryan that.
Now this is all useless trouble
on the part of our good friends.
Mr.. Bryan is OF age and has shown
himself to be admirably able to
take care of himself For the in
significant figure which some try
to make him out he appears to be
drawing very large share of Re-
publican attention.
There is another thing and that
is that the Democratic party is also
able to take care of itself. When
the Democratic National Conven-
ton meets early next summer it
will adopt platform and nominate
ticket which will require all the
brain power and all the money that
the Republicans can raise to beat
it, even under the 'generalship OF
Boss Hanna. Let the Boss and
all his satellites rest assured OF
that. And in the meantime lei
them be advised to take rest in
order to gain strength for the
struggle.

Should BE Punished.

The liars who are telegraphing
from this county and from Char
lesion, about the arrest of Mrs,
Ballard Cremenns, on charge
of numbering her husband, should
be severely dealt with. There
is not word of truth in the
dispatches from Glenwood, Hunt
ington and Charleston. No war
rant has ever been sworn out for
Mrs. Cremean's arrest. She has
been in town for several days, and
is here now, and if the authorities
want her they can get her at any
time.

of the lower court, making Elkins

ty, has granted motion of the at
torney of Beverly, whore the coun-
ty seat is now located, to re open
the case. Judge John Homer
Hoult went to Beverly last week to
open court but decided not to do
so, that under. existing conditions
Beverly is not the county seat and
no order made by his court would
be legal.

NARROW ESCAPE.
The Ice Cuts n Big Hole i'm Her
Hull, but is Saved by the
oneida and Jessie.

Yesterday about Eve O'Clock the
Argend coming into the harbor
here from Charleston, blew thedis
tress whistle and the Oneida and
Jessie went to her rescue, and
found that she was in sinking
condition. They put three or four
syphons to work and by hard work
kept her from going down. When
she was pumped out the hole was
patched. She had come in from
Charleston and in great many
places had to run through the ice
which is very sharp, and when she
reached here the ice had out quite
a hole in her. She was sold last
Tuesday by Capt. Green to Meeks
and Preston, who will take her to
the Big Sandy river and put her in
trade there,

If trade goes out of this town to
other towns, it is the fault of the
merchants. They don't advertise
and let people know what they have
to sell. The merchants of other
towns do, and keep Point Pleasant

bills calling attention to their goods
