N Attaek Upon all the People.

In an address before the N. Y.
chamber of commerce, Elk Mayor
Abram s Hewitt, Democrat said
Heretofore in the history OF the
country two assassinations have
taken place, but they were rather
directed against the individual than
the Office. This occurrence marks a
new development in the history of
the United States. This high office
is dear to us AL because it represents
the majesty of the people. An at
tack upon the Office is, therefore, an
attack upon all the people Of the
United States.
Upon the poor, wretched degener-
ate who has been impelled to this
crime we know the penalty of the
law will he imposed. But what pen
atty will reach those who have in
cited this victim by their vile and
destructive doctrines to this deed of
blood?
In regard to President Mckinley,
there is nothing left but the pride
which we must all feel that the
country has produced such man,
that the people have the wisdom to
place such servant in the highest
position in this land, that his mem
DRY will be precious legacy, and
that that wonderful address which
he delivered at the close of his life
shall be regarded as legacy to be
framed with the Farewell Address
of Washington and the speech of
Lincoln at Gettysburg, as a perpetu-
al admonition to the people of this
land and of encouragement to its
young men to adhere to the highest
standard of truth, justice and right. 2

Most Interesting of States.

We in West Virginia have with
great loyalty and pride been industri-
ously engaged in blowing our own horn
until at last the strains of our self
praise have reached other and equally
appreciative ears. In the last num-
Der of the Manufacturers Record, Of
Baltimore, a dignified and influential
publication that is doing great work
in revealing to the world the great
advancement made and the unlimited
possibilities of the south, DR.. Charles
w. Dabney, president Of the Univer-
sity of Tennessee, writes most enter
tainingly of West Virginia as state
typical of southern power.
After reverting to the fact that this
state occupies the choicest position in
the north temperate zone, he refers TO
the bold topography Of the state, from
the valley at Harper's Ferry, which
has an elevation above the sea of 2S0
feet to the pinnacle TO the wooded
heights of Spence Knob, in Pendleton
county, of 5000 feet. And while we
are tolerably mountainous, the en-
inences though bold are not rugged or
bare, but clothed with magnificent
timber or grass to their very SUBMITS.
President Dabney states what has
long been a conceded fact that s'for
manufacturing and commerce the
location of the state is unsurpassed In
the world" Naturally theIenthusiast
over our natural resources calls partic-
ular attention to our vast mineral
wealth and our extensive coal fields,
which he says, though considerably
developed, have been scarcely scratch
ed as yet. He also cites the circum-
stance that West Virginia affords the
most magnificent opportunities for all
industries based upon coal and iron,
and that no one dare predict what our
state will do in the next twenty five
years. The article is published in full
in another column. Wheeling Intel

RED WAIST
Causes Girl to be Attacked by an angry

WINsTED, Sept. 20.-After being
warned not TO 60 into the COW lot
while wearing a bright red waist, Edna
Blouin, the young daughter Of a
Thomaston farmer, ventured into the
pasture yesterday, and had narrow
escape from being gored to death.
The child was on her way to see her
father, who was milking some distance
away, when COW deserted the scarlet
waist and started after her. Before
Blouin could reach his daughter the
animal had struck the girl in the
breast, tearing her dress from head to
foot and knocking her to the ground.
Blouin dealt the animal heavy
blow on the head. The little girls
injuries are not considered fatal.

TWENTY FIFTH
President of the United States Is
Roosevelt.

Although lie Has Been Called the
Twenty Sixth Must Not Count
Double Terms to Make IL Fit.
President Roosevelt is spoken OF
as the twenty sixth President, and
more correctly as the twenty fifth.
The question is easily settled.
TIC usual printed lists IN the al
manae put Mckinley down as the
twenty fifth President, and on
hasty glance one naturally assumes
that Roosevelt is the twenty sixth.
The following is the list usually
printed:
l-~George Washington.
John Adams.
3Thomas jefferson.
iJames Madison.
flames Monroe.
6-John Quincy Adams.
Andrew jackson.
s. Martin Van Buren,.
s. William II. Harrison.
10-John Tayler
Thames X. Polk.
Zachary Tyior.
13--Millard Fillmore.
li-Franklin Pierce.
Thames Buchanan.
l6-Abraham Lincoln.
Andrew johnson.
IS Ulysses S. Grant.
19-Rutherford b. Hays.
20-James a. Garfield.
2l-Ghester A. Arthur.
22--Groyer Cleveland.
23-Benjamin Harrison.
24-Grover Cleveland.
25-William Mckinley.
26-Theodore Roosevelt.
The confusion arises from count
ing Grover Cleveland twice, because
the interval Of the Harrison term oc.
Cured between his first and second
terms. II his terms had succeeded
eacn other as in the case OF other
Presidents holding two terms he
would have been counted as the
twenty second President, Benjamin
Harrison as the twenty third, al he
was, and Mckinley as the twenty
fourth.
II both Of Cleveland's terms are
to be counted and he is to be called
the twenty-tourth President, then
other double terms should be count
ed also, and Washington would be
the first and second President. and
80 on. This mode Of enumeration
would make Roosevelt the thirty
fourth President. BY no reasonable
mode of counting can he the twenty
sixth. He is in fact the twenty
fifth President Of the United States,
coun ting personalities and not pres
idential terms. Pittsbnrg Post.
