Judge Pennypacker. Republican
candidate for Governor of Pennsylva-
mia, may not know what a good for
nothing fellow Cousin Matt Quay is,
but down in Mexico they have sized
him up In great shape. Discussing the
character and achievements of the
plum-tree senator the Mexican Herald
says: ut is all very interesting, this
study of perfect political despotism

schools, colleges and universities. Latin

MALICIOUS PERSECUTION.

All sorts of motives have been attrib-
uted to Mr.. Bryan who went into New
England to attend Democratic club
meeting recently. and made a speech.
Some newspapers alleged that he did
1t out of vindictivenees, and could moi
see that any loud Call had been made
for him to come, or that the invita-.
ton was pressing. Others that he
was determined to be boss. Others
that it was a deliberate attempt to
to split the Democratic party. Others
that he would force himself on the
convention and either be nominated
himself or name the candidate who
must be free silver man. Others re-
ported him as having again declared
for free silver at 10 to /. The spirit of
vindictiyeness in Mr.. Bryan has never
been so apparent as in bis implacable
enemies. The renegade Democratic
press never ceases to hound him and
decry his ability and his sincerity.
Nevertheless the people even In New
England rush to hear him as they do
to hear no other man, and II one wants
to hear the dry bones of Palmer and
Buckner fakirs rattle, Mr.. Bryan has
only to speak outside of Nebraska.
Then come they forth from the graves
where themselves and Grover the
great have placed them, and the coun-
try is turned into riot such as went
on in Kirk Alloway the night Tam
O'Shanter rode up and looked in. No
sooner does Bryan open his mouth than
tout the hellish legion sallies'' and he
must go back beyond the running
stream, the Mississippi, or they pursue
him with all their might and main.
No candidate for the presidency
must be favored by Mr.. Bryan, they
assert, else the Palmer and Buckner
regulars" will show fight, and declare
in loud and frightening terms they
will not support him. OF course If
they do not support him the candi-
date 8 cake is dough-so great do they
think themselves In the game now
being played. These gentlemen who
disorganized the Democratic party in

had as well face one fact, and that is,
that deserters are not going to be
trusted by the rank and file of the
party-and such need not apply. There
are as good fish yet In the Democratic
sea as ever were caught out of it, and
to fishing for these the party will be-
take itself, regardless Of backbiters and

white suIphur. ". Va.

Some time ago the government pur.
chased a large spring from Mr.. T.
OConneil at White Sulphur Springs.
W. Va, at which place a fish hatchery
Is to be erected. OF course other sec.
tions wanted the industry, and there
Was good deal of rivalry throughout
the State for it's location. The point
selected was an admirable one, right
on the main line of the G. s. o. at a
great flowing spring, where trout have
never failed to be found, and in a most
healthful and delightful section of the
State. 1t was impossible, however, for
such an enterprise to be located with
out stirring the envy of some mischief
makers, and as an evidence of this a
statement was recently sent to and
published in the Washington Post to
the effect that the spring was only a
small affair and the waters so fall of
iron that trout could not live in it.
The government Immediately sent ex
perts to look over the situation and the
result is that the reports have been de-
clared false, and the work is going on
rapidly. It will be only short time
until the buildings are completed and
the pools ready. The American flag
already floats oyer the site.
The Iron Mountain and Greenbrier
railroad has been graded and rails are
rapidly being laid on it. It's present
terminus is Shryock on Anthony's
Creek where large sawmills will likely
be erected and where town site is
now being laid out and the streets
graded. A tannery is also likely to go
there as there are immense supplies of
oak and hemlock bark.
A large vein of coal has been struck
by Mr.. d. O'Connell on Meadow Greek
above Shryock, said to be feet in
thickness. which seems to be anthracite,
or semi bituminous. He has also de.
veloped some fine iron ore and man.

UP TO SENATOR BURTON.

In a speech recently delivered at
Joplin, Mo-, Senator Burton of Kan
sas, said: II want every Republican
voter to know that there Is absolutely
no difference in the party between the
President and the Senate.'' The Kan
sas City Journal, Republican, com.
menting upon this statement, declares:
1.-The Kansas Senator knows how to
express himself intelligibly and IN
nistakably when he wants to. Did
President Roosevelt agree privately
that the bill for the relief of Cuba
should fail or did be not ?" The public
will await Senator Burton's reply with
considerable interest. In the common
parlance Of the street, it's "up to" the
Kansas Senator.

The Mosby Reunion.

The ninth reunion of the FOrty.t third
Battalion Of Virginia Cavalry, better
known as "Mosby men, took place at
Leesburg on Thursday of last week.
The affair was a decided Success in ev-
cry particular. The ladies of Lees.
burg had made elaborate preparations
for the entertainment of the survivors
of this command. Tables had been
erected in the yard of the courthouse,
and elaborate preparations had been
made for an open-air banquet at the
noon hour. Their plans were serious
ly interfered with by the drizzling rain,
and a convenient store-house across the
street was secured and the veterans
were amply provided with the MONDAY
meal. served by the leading ladies Of
the town.
One of the pathetic events of the re-
union was the calling of the roll of
Company A, FOrty-third Battalion, of
Mosby's men, from an old muster roll
for July and August, 1864. The worn
old document was handed to Command
er John II. Alexander, who read the
names of the members of the company.
The responses to the roll call were few
After the roll call the election of Of

the choice OF Joseph Bryan, editor of
the Richmond Times, as commander;
Rev. Sidney e. Ferguson, first vice
commander; Stacy Bisphan, second
vice commander; Hugh M. McIlhany, |
third vice commander; LandOn R. Ma
son, chaplain; Henry 8. Ashby, adju-
