The attorney General has commenc.
ed suit against the paper trust and
it brings cheer to the heart of every
newspaper man in the country. The
publishers of the United States have
tor years been paying tribute to the
greedy trusts on other materials than
paper. In fact there is nothing the
printer uses that is not controlled by
the trusts from gauge pin to the
largest perfecting press and we hope
he time will ispeedily come when
they will be forced to let up and deal
honestly with the printers and pub
fishers

In looking about fer a candidate
tor Congress the Democrats should
consider that Berkeley county has
abundance of good timber. There new
er was better fight made against
Dayton than that put up by Col. S.

of Mr.. {. +. Martin mentioned in cos

wish to say that we candidly recon

a young man of fine educatisnly quail

The Inauguration on last Saturday
passed off in highly satisfactory
way. The weather was all that ceul d
be desired and in point OF attendance
aud show the occasion was a record
breaker. There was oue feature how =

those in the parade, and that was the
halting of the procession for nearly

Governor LaFoiletr, the pew sena
tor from Wisconsin has gained a
victory over the pluticratic element OF
his party. He has taken a brave
stand against the trust breeding and
trust protecting taria schedules which
the leaders of his party seem to re-
gard as being most sacred and he has
especially taken up the people, cause
against the grinding iniquities of the
great railroad trust. His stand upon
these questions brought down the
condemnation and opposition of the
great trust influence upon him. His
people are behind him and have been
from the very beginning OF the great
contest he has been and is waging
against the corporate influences of
his state. They sent him with a dele
CATION in sympathy with him to tn e
last Republican National convention
but he was kicked out by the leaders
OF the party who controlled that CON
ventisn and who were themselves own
ed by the money power. The election
Of Governor LaFollett by the Wiscou-
sin legislature to seat in the United
States Senate is rebuke to the op-
posing element of the party and much
to the embarrassment OF the men who
kicked him out of the national con-
vention and thought they were as.
signing him to oblivion, he comes up
to face them in the stronghold of plu.
tocracy, the U1ited States Senate.
Gov. LaFallett is, every inch OF him,
man. Fearless, forceful and con.
scious OF cordial support by his PEG
pie is he.equipped for IL aking a great
est and most telling fight against the
unlawful and unjust corporations and
trusts. His coming to the Senate is
most opportune. The President s
proposition of government regulation
Of railroad rates has been sidetracked
by the senate and will of course come
up again. Senator LaFollett comes
upon the scene just in time to dis
play his ability as a statesman and
his sincerity as a friend . the people
by taking the lead Of the anti-monop-
oily forces in the Republican party in
the senate. 1t is not only fortunate
for him but for the President as well
Mr.. Roosevelt will need just such a
man as LaFollett in the senate il
there IS to be anything reaped O.

and II 'sts. Whether Roosevelt aud L.

MORGAN.

From the Gerardstown Times we
learn of the death of Mr.. J Parren
Morgan, the fourth son of the late
Jephthah Morgon, and the last SUI
viving of that family but one, who is
the Editor of the Times, Mr.. Jas. B.,
Morgan. The Times says:
J. P. Morgan was born rear Shep-
herdstown, on the original Morgan
lands received by grant from the En-
glish government, and was a grand
son of William Morgan, whose wife Ag
mes, was a dauy hter OF Isaac and Eliz'
abeth Jennings Vail. When about six
years of age he was brought to this
neia hborhood. where his father had
purchased property. In his early man
hood he was given a position in the
store OF the late John w. Stewart, in
this village and soon manifested a
special aptitude tor the busin ess,
which he followed nearly all OF his
subsequent life. He was enga ged in
business at Romney, Moorefs Id and
Petersburg. He was living at the
last uamed place when the waF broke
out in 1861 when he promptly left the
counter for the tented field and ex-
changed the yard stick for the sabre.
We are indebted to Mr.. l. S. We'll
ton, OF Petersburg. for the following
brief notice of his service iii the Con
federate army:
II. P. Morgan, at the beginning d
the war, WAS a member Of the South
Branch Riflemen, Capt. Everly. from
this town. We were ordered with the
Hardy Blues from Mooreheld to Rich
Mountain where we we're captured by
Gen. Mcclellan, paroled and ex-
changed after being prisoners TO-
about twelvcImcnths. He then with
most of Capt. Everly's company join
ca SOnl pduy L. NaP1' SNS't' iONA '"
ginia Cavalry, and remained on the
roll of that Co.. until the surrender,
being detailed during most OF tn
time as a clerk Tor Capt. Chambers
Oaartermaster of the 18th Va, Caval-
ry.
He was man l alwnys admired
greatly, in fact, all did who knew
him did.
Alter the war he went to Eureka,
Kansas, where he spent the remain
der of his life. His lasr visit to his
old home here was in 1887,
J. P Morgan was man OF most
amiable disposition and strictest in
tegrity of character. He harmed no
one by word OF deed, and his sociable
Generous nature made him popular
with all who knew him. We are in.
formed that for sevelal Yeas he has
lived a truly Christian lie
Though one by one our household
band
Be broken in earlh-life be.ow,
Glad meetings in the better Land
! We by the Saviors love shall know

soap works. The Oregon State Univer-
is located here with good buildings,
fine grounds and many students. We
stopped off for the night at Roseburg,
County seat for Douglas County, a
busting town of three thousand five
inhabitants. The Oregon State Sol
diers' Home is located here. Here our
train became so heavily loaded it was
divided in two sections. one proceed
ing the other.
The next place of interest was
Ashland, three hundred and forty
miles south OF Portland. Ii has
population of Eve thousand, is man
ufacturing and educational center for
southern Oregon. The state normal
school is located here, also the Chau-
tauqua tabernacle. liked the whole
general appearance of Oregon as seen
from the railway. There seemed to
be no feverish haste to grow rapidly
rather than substantially. And large
forests of noble trees remained intact.
1t is estimated that one sixth of the
timber of the United States is to be
found in Oregon. I thought the state
of Vermont could learn lesson from
them, when We seem in such haste to
turn our maple sugar orchards into a
little present cash, when if allowed to
remain they would constitute the
chief glory of our state. You may
travel from one end of the continent
to the other and you will find nothing
more beautiful than our maple sugar
orchards dressed in their autumnal
glory. The time is coming when the
world will awaken to this fact, if our
people will have the foresight and
public spirit to let them remain.
After passing beyond Ashland a few
miles we met freight with broken
wheel. We had to wait there three
hours for wrecking train to remove
it. While waiting I made acquaint-
parasitic plant which gains it's sus
tenance from the oak, and the mys-
terry was solved about the big punches
of green to be seen on the oak trees
which had already dropped their
leaves. Large quantities of it are
shipped to eastern cities for Christ
mas dc corations. After our long wait
we began the mountain ascent, and
here were engineering feats more
startling if possible than we had met
with before. We began the ascent
with a loop, and proceeded by a
spiral, until at one time we could see
our advance train almost perpen-
dicularly above us and the track we
were on, curvipg far in advance of us.
and another far below US, and thus
4 we climbed to a height of four
thousand, one hundred and twenty
four feet at SIskiyou. The descen!
was regular and easy. Later the
moon came out clear and bright, and
we had a moonlight view of noble
Shasta, rising to the height of four
teen thousand, four hundred ano
forty four feet. We stopped al
Shasta Springs, where all had the
opportunity to leave the train to view
and sample the waters of this natural
highly charged soda fountain pouring
out of the mountain side, leaping AND
dashing over the rocks below, falling
in beautiful cascades. This sparkling
mass of water lighted by colorec
electric lights made picture fit fol
fairyland.
