"The following was written by
Hon. p. w. Morris, the versatile
editor of the Parkersburg State
Journal:
"Last night was as glorious as q
dream of Arcadia or as a city OF
siloe and crystal or az marble halls
filled with pure creations of the
sculptor's art. A garment of white
covered the earth and the moon rod ,
full and radiant in the skies. 1t was
nearly as light az a sunny summer
day, and more mysterious if not
sweeter and more beautiful. In the
city roofs CLEANED and shone under
the magic touch of the moonlight
and in the country, field and forest
spread away and in grandeur. The
trees sparkled with myriads Of dia.
monds and the meadows glittered
with unnumbered jewels. Anywhere
under the shining heavens, the soene
would tir the soul of the poet and
light the eye of any mortal with ad.
miration.
1t is but seldom that the moon
rides so round and complete over
such decorated world. The artist
might paint the green field and
woods, flowers and grains, and sea
and stars, and rocks and streams,
an d mountains and prairies
as they are, but he could never
put all that was over the land, last
night, with its shining and its sorcery
on bis canvas. Moonlight over snow
how lovely, how strange, now il
stirs the heart and soul to higher
resolves and TO nobler things. 1t i.

should be; and so may the record oil

Last Chance Gone.

The final getting together of tho
four trustees of the Republican
party on the matter Of tax reform
has taken away the last hope of
the Democratic party to carry the
State back to the old ranks and
along with the other states of tho
solid south. These gentlemen rep
resented in the most positive form
the diverging elements Of the Re-
publican party upon tho only
question which had taken the
form of a State l ssue. Messrs.
Sturgiss and Hubbard stood for
clean and complete revision of the
system of levying and collecting
state taxes and the creation of
laws that would reach the great
corporations which have been TAX

sources. Messrs. Dayton and Bliz-
card represented a conservative
element which favored the hand
ling of these tax questions with
sufficient care not to create a dis
trust of the party or to endanger
the opposition Of the financial in.
terests. But In fact all were in
favor of system of tax reform

body when it meets. 1t will be
found that extreme wisdom and
care has been exercised in their
preparation and that they will
