1t is conceded by thoughtful Re.
publicans of West Virginia that the
State is safely Republican; but let
it be understood that the party can.
not elect any kind of ticket and
Legislature on platform that does
not look to the wants of the people
and business interests of the State
The party will require that the State
ticket he composed of its tried and
true frie! ds- men who know what
has been sacrificed to wrest the State
from the control Of the Democracy,
who stand for the party interests
and the good of the State, Ibid be
placed on the legislative tidEEt. This
is important to the State and party.
This done the campaign will be more
than half won.
1t seems now like the commercial
statesmen are too much in evidence
to stimulate vigorous party growth.
The following lines express the
idea We try to make clear:
God give US men! A time like this demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and
ready hands;
Men whom the lust OF Office does not Kill;
Men whom the spoiis Of Office cannot buy:
NJ en- who possess opinion and will:
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a denagogue,
Ind damn his treacherous batteries without
winking;
Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog.
In public duty and private thinking.
For while the rabble, with their thumb-,gorr
creeds;
Their large profession and their little deeds,

Wrong rules the land, and waiting Jnstic,

Ether Vibrations.

The effect Of movements in the ether
depends upon the rapidly Of the vibra-
tons producing them. The unit OF
measurement for short waves in the
ether is the bicron, which is about one
twenty-five millionth of an inch. Waves
measuring $50 to SO bicrons affect our
sense of sight, the former number CIV
ing violet and the latter red color. The
invisible rays, to which the actinic and
Roentgen rays belong are shorter and
have been measured as short as 100
bicrons. Ether waves longer than
those giving light give the feeling OF
warmth. The longest heat waves are
eight times the length Of those OF the
red rays, or one three hundred and hf'
tieth of an inch.
