| The Winchester News Item of Tues
! day, says:
I 1t has Just leaked out that one of the
most important telephone deals in re-
| cent years, which may have great effect
, in the near future upon long-distance
rates in this and nearby commune
! ties, was contaminated at meetin &
' of capitalists held at the Belevue-Strat
! ford Hotel in Philadelphia few day 8
A,o.
Included in the merger is the Unit
ed Telephone Company, which recent
ly absorbed the old Winchester con-
, Germ Mr.. r. T. Barton is local counsel
for the United, and he was aware of
the pending deal. SO the NewsIte m
! was informed.
The American Union Telephone
Company was at the .Philadelphla
meeting brought into working exist
ence, the company having been incor-
porated at Harrisburg on May 81 of
this year.
! The new company, which is capt.
| talized at $25 900 900, together by pur-
chase and lease number of independ-
ent telephone companies of Pen nsyl-
vania, Southern New York, Northern
Virginia, and by traffic agreement
the Keystone Telephone Company, of
Philadelphia.
The new company will soon perfect
, long-distance service extending from
Winchester and vicinity to Baltimore,
Washington and Wheeling in the
South, Pittsburg, Cleveland, and Erie
in the West, and Philadelphia, Buffalo
Rochester, and Syracuse in the North.
Among the companies entering the
merged combination, i'll addition to the
United, are the Cumbt Rand Valley
Company, the Union Telephone Com
pany, of Erie Pa which embraces
half dozen counties in Pennsylvania
and extends to the city of Oleau,N Y,
and the York State Telephone Com

In presenting the name of Gen. US.
Grant at the Chicago Convention in
1880 Roscoe Conkling said;
The election before us will be the
Austerlitz of American politics. 1t
will decide whether for years to come
the country will Ne "Republican or
Cossack."
Senator Lodge yesterday nomin ated
for Auditor of Massachusetts Harvey
K. Turner, saying:
1t would be exaggeration to say that
the coming elections i'll New York and
Massachusetts will be the Austerlitz
of American politics. 1t is no eXag-
geration to say that the coming elect
ions in New York and Massachusetts
will decide whether the government of
these two States for the next year shall
be American or Cossack.
Conkling's version was briefer and
better. Also it was uttered first.

The Democratic County Conven 10 1
will meet on next Monday to perform
an important and delicate duty. Berk-
eley is Republican by small majority
and the disaffection in the Republican
party over Elkinsism and Boss rule
makes it more than possible for the
Dem ocrats to carry the county if the
convention on next Monday does
it duty. II must select men not
tainted with railrord or corporation in
huences and men who are reliable, hon
est and capable. We have heard the
names Of Messrs. f. ID. Rauch, of Ar
ven, Jno. S. Vermilyea, of Hedgesvile
and W. w. Westphal, of Martinsburg
suggested for the house of Delegates
nd We must say that they are all men
of the highest character and we believe
any tw o of them would b. sstis factoly

DR.. y. c. Hopkins, pastor of the
Presbyterian church at Charleston n
on last Sunday celebrated the 40th al =
niversary of the pastcrate at that
place. No minister could ever have
been more faithful than he in the dis
charge of his every duty and no pastor
has ever been more profoundly loved
by his people thaa is DR.. Hopkins.
When the war between the North
and the South came on he was Epastor
of the church in this city. \ large num-
Der of the young men of his congrega-
ton enlisted in the cause ofthe Sout h
and DR.. Hopkins true to his convc-
tons went into the army as chaplain
and stood by the Confederacy until the
last gun was fired at Appomat-
toX. During the war a considt T.
able northern element came INTO
Ma rtinsburg and coed many went
into the Presbyterian church. There
was division of the church for time
aud it existed just at the time of the
surrender. DR.. Hopkins knowing the
condition here sat upon the battlefield
of AppomattoX and wrote out his res
ignation as pastor of the church in
Martinsburg. He later, the next year,
was called to Charlestown which call
he accepted and there he has since lab
ored. We tender our congratulations.

The Elkins press bureau is working
overtime just now. His paid writers
are busy showing what great things
he hiss done for West Virginia. Yes,
h has done wonders. He has made
perhaps forty or fifty millions out of
West Virginia. What has he done for
West Virginia? Very little. He ha S
squeezed the land owners from whom
re has purchased his millions of acres
of coal and ii mber land. He has forced
every West Nirs inian, or any oth I
m 10, to the fence that has dared to Sc t
,.p for hims elf if his interests at all con-
1cted with Mr.. Elkins'. Money is
power and Mr.. Elkins with his seven
~ millions has manifested all the
power Of a giant crushing every man
that stands in his way. Yes, he has
done great things for West Virginia.
He has made millions and millions
out of her coal and timber which he
has shipped out of the state and hiring
Americans only when they will work
for less than the SIavs, Poles and Ital-
ians. Yes, Uncle Steve is always
about when there is big money making

The political situation in the Empire
state is strange and interesting one.
The Republicans at the command of
Roosevelt have nominated Hughes for
governor and the Democrats have in a
most exciting convention put up " i'll
lam r. Hearst, the owner of the New
York American and Journal as well as
a number of other equally sensational
newspapers throughout the country
Ihe Democratic Convention was char
&c erizediby bitter Acrimonious debate
and by the action of Boss Murphy who
wished to punish Mayor Mcclellan in
throwing the entire Tammany vote to
Hearst, his nomination was brought
about. All the great newspapers of
New York are supporting Hughes and
nearly half the men who made up tho
Democratic Convention will vote for
h IL Hughes is he man who cond e.
ell the gr at insurance investigation and
ls recognized as clean. able and hon
est man, while Hearst is denounced as
- 'NN'AA'SNf oiiN W GULLY as CIV Gil all an
archist. Hearst's career does not war
rant any such denuniciation and If
elected will beyond doubt make
Il good governor. Hughes repre-
sents Inc corporate interests and Hearst
stands for just the opposite. He has
been nominated b. the Independent
organization and "lll be supported by
,te common people, He is rich and il
possessed of all the elements OF a Ges-
per~i"> fighter, Both men are of the
fnVs, radical class and are the highest
types of the Interest they represents.
Hughes stands for the great money
interest while Hslrst stands for the
plain people ana the fight will be
latch with interest by the whole coun.
try.
