Rev. Dr. GLADDEN. in paying his re-
spects to John d. Rockefeller in speech
against the acceptance OF the 500, 900
offered by Rockefeller to the Mission
board said. The people know that
this great power has been built up by
injustice and oppression. They know
that its immense gains have been made
by iorcibly dis2oiling citizens of their
honest gains and shutting doors OF
opportunity upon them And this is
the money offered to the American
board. We have no right to take it..
1t does not belong to the man who
Offers it. 1t belongs to the people from
whom it has been extofted.

The city council acted with pro-
found wisdom when it devised the
plan of requiring all water.takers to
file an application Tor such water ser
vice as they wished. 1t was known
for years that there were many per
sons using water tor which they paid
nothing and thus the burden of sup
porting the water-works was thrown
upon a part only of the consumers.
The rates have been adjusted in a
most reasonable and equitable way
and put within Their reach of all. There
is but one equitable way to run the
water-works and that is for all, every
one. to pay for what he gets and Ger
tainly no one can find fault with the
new system which requires all TO
pay.

The Democrats.

The Democratic Congressional com
mittee met in response to call by
Chai.man'A. J. Wilkinson on last
Saturday at Keyser. There was a full
meeting and an unusual amount of
enthusiasm was manifested.
The date set for the convention was
May 3 at Keyser, one week after the
Republican convention meets at the
same place.
There is much talk about the man
who should be nominated. Some in
ist that Col. john r McGraw is tie
man to nominate, while others think
that Hon. John J. Cornwel ought to
make the race. Col. S. w, Walker has
ptorily declined to let his name
be mentioned in connection with the
nomination.

Without being hypecritical, may
we not ask by what authority the
President appointed Mr.. Gruusky late
OF the Panama Canal Commission,
consulting engineer and advisor to
the director, in the irrigation service
at salary of $40, 600 year? Mr.
Grunsky is a competent engineer and
doubtless he would make an excellent
adviser to the director of the irriga-
ton work, but the point is that Mr.
Roosevelt has appointed him to an
office that did not exist.
Congress has never created such an
office indeed, it refused at the last
session to create it. Ii the President

Is it not nearly time to quit talking
about a"restored Union? No Northern
man can go South, no Southern man
can go North, without saying some
thing OF other about the war between
the States, its heroes and its glories,
and how Fitz Lee and Joe Wheeler
Wore the blue, as though there IS
something strange about it. The fact
is that If the United States had be
come involved in a war with some
body our size, as early as 1866, the
South would have fought for the
flag with all the prove SIS, with all the
val or, and with all the devotion she
had fought tor the Con federacy. b
When Ben Hill rose in his place in
the Anne lean Congress and declared
that he and the southern men who
thought as he thought were again in
their fathers house and that they
were there to stay, he spoke for the
entire South aud spoke by authority.
Bat there is no denying that there
was a heap OF elder bIoiheriug IN Con-
z ress at that time and the bloody shit
was waving to many a Northern
breeze. The Northern people imposed
on the Southern people impossible
governments, and the dominant par
ty at the North contounded the ct
forts of the South to throw of that in
famous system with treason to the
I'e deral government. OF course, that
kept alive the sectional question, and
it is painful to reflect that the finest
speeches of the ablest men of that
era Morton, Fessenden, Couklin9,
Garfield and even Blaine himself
were violently sectional and intensely
hostile to the South.
Eliminate the bloody shirt from
the speeches of Conkling, Garfield,
Blaine and Ingalls,, and You have pre-
cious little left of their political elc-
quence. The South was solid because
she had to be. The South was solid
because of the legislation OF Thaddeus
Stevens. Ben Butler, Oliver p. Nor
n and Ben Wade Ii in 1865 the Re
publican party had adopted South
ern palicy exactly like that proclaim
ed by Mckinley and Roosevelt. the
era OF good feeling would have come
with the restored Union and the coun-
Try would have scaLed the third of a
Ct injury OF rancor from Appomattox
to San Juan Hill.
The return of the battle flags was
noble and magnanimous act, and it
shows what I. factor sentiment is in
govern en'. "Nevtr a magnanimity
tell to the ground. " Let il 90 at that.

Free Certificate for Himself,

The following story is told Of the
late DR.. James c. Swan, a physician
of the old school, who practised his
profession for a great many years in
Bridgewater, Mass, and the surround
ing towns.
This generous if not alluring offer
was made by him to the pernicious
father OF an insane young man:
The old man wished to secure his
sons admission to the insane asylum,
but seemed unwilling to pay for the
necessary certificate. After hearing
his plea of poverty, which the doctor
knew to be false, and hearing him also
tell OF the many expenses to which he
had put by his ungrateful children, the
physician waved his hand to end the
recital.
Nov, see here" he said, sharply:
you just pay me for this one, and I'll
give you certificate for yourself,
whenever you wish it. for nothing"

HEART RIGHT
When He Quilt Coffee.

Life insurance Companies will no
insure man suffering from hear
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is serious matter to the hus
Dand or father who is solicitOus for the
future of his dear ones. Often the
neart trouble is caused by an unex-
pected thing, and can be corrected If
taken IN time and properly treated. A
man in Colorado writes:
i was a great coffee drinker for
many years. and was not aware of the
injurious effects Of the habit till I be.
came practical invalid. suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and a
nuisance to those who witnessed NV
sufferings.
Il continued to drink Coffee, how.
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause Of my ill-healtn, till, on applying
for life insurance was rejected on &C.
count OF the trouble with my heart.
Then became alarmed. l found that
leaving on coffee helped me quickly,
% quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements of

THE change in my condition was re-
markable. and 1t was not long till l
was completely cured. All my ailments
vanished. My digestion was complete
