A VERY significant episode occurred
at recent meeting of the Republi-
can State COMMITTEE in Charleston,
when the leaders of the party gather
ed for the purpose of comforting about
present issues and prospective methods
of meeting them. The new tax laws
were discussed, and we understand
that they were generally approved
of. The coal people, however, through
their agents, let slip the fact that
they were not satisfed-that the bur-
den of taxation was being shifted upon
the coal interests and that this must
be remedied. The Hon. Sam Dixon,
of Fayette county, big coal opera
tor, and Captain Bob Smith, OF Nc
Dowell county, an attorney for the
coal men, declared that they were
going to send their very best men to
the Legislature next fall, for the pur-
pose of correcting" the laws by
which the coal lands have at last been
assessed somewhere near their true
and actual value. We have no doubt
that the coal operators, who run the
two counties named, Fayette and
Mcdowell, will do exactly as these
gentlemen have said they will do,
AMI seek TO relieve themselves Of tax
alton as far as possible. Other coal
counties will doubtless unite with
them, and perhaps combine with other
interests to shift back the burden up.
on the same patient shoulders that
have borne it so long-the shoulders
of the farmers and the people Of mod
crate means.
We warn the people of the agricul.
tural counties, particularly, to send
honest and able men to the next Leg
islature. Governor Dawson declared
that under the new laws the coal
lands should be assessed at their true
and actual value. With the help of
the Board of Public Works he has
made good. If the people shall cow
permit these laws and this new as
sessment to be nullifed it will be
their own fault.

Popularity Of Base Ball.

Base ball has grown TO gigantic pro-
portions within the last 40 years, and
the scientific work of the teams delight
millions OF spectators. There are so
many things to admire in the game
that it is impossible to describe them.
1t is also impossible to describe the won
derful amount Of good that has been
done by the celebrated Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters during its SO years expert
ence. People all over the world have
been cured by it after other remedies
had failed. If you are nervous, sleep
less, have no appetite, bowels costive,
and feel run down, the Bitters is needed
at once. Something else won't do in its
place. 1t positively corrects ailments
caused by dlsordered stomach, liver
or kidneys, such as poor appetite, nau-
sea, bloating, backache, biliousness,
flatulency, indigestion dyspepsia, cos
tiveness or malaria. Try bottle.

PRETTY nearly all the Republican
candidates for Congress from this dis.
trict were in Martinsburg on Tuesday,
ostensibly attending the sessions Of the
United States Court but in reality
looking after their chances. Big,
genial N. G. Keim, very popular
man in the district, was on hand, as
was also Ira E. Robinson, of Grafton,
who would probably win the nomina-
ton hands down if he were not re-
garded with suspicion by the State
administration. w. G. Conley, of
Preston county, clean, honest, fair,
straightforward fellow and a gentle
man of ability and character who
would be a credit to our district, was
likewise on hand to make the acquaint-
ance of the people of this section.
John J. Hetzel, who also has aspira-
tions, was in evidence, but it was
stated that Ward Lindsay was going
to be candidate, too, and thus for ce
hin to divide the little eve lamb of
L rkeley county. None of the above,
it may be added, are anxi Gus to have
CT Tom Davis renominated by the
D :aocrats.

OLD Age.
DEPENDS NOT UPON YEARS, BUT UPON
VITAL FORCE.

In Shepherdstown lately there has
been a good deal of discussion in regard
TO old people. Some at fifty years call
themselves old, and really appear so,
while others at seventy years seem act
i've, vigorous and young.
1t is not years, but it is loss of vital
force that makes person old. Weak
ened digestion, thin blood and poor cirs
culation soon start functional power
and vitality on the wane, and then the
symptoms of old age quickly appear.
The proprietor of Remnants Phar-
macy says "that old feeling may be
warded off, and we wish every person
in Shepherdstown who feels old, wheth-
er they are so in years or not, would try
the great discovery, Vinol. We know
that it has vital principles which will
in a natural manner strengthen diges-
ton, send rich, red blood coursing
through the veins, and give new life
and strength TO every organ of the body,
and this is what makes the old feel
young again.
Mrs. II. w. Avery says:
AT the age of eighty nine | felt the
need of tonic, netting to strengthen
and build me up. For some time have
been taking Ninol, and | have found
that it brings vigor and renewed vitali-
ty to the aged as nothing else will"
Vinol repairs worn tissues, checks the
natural decline and replaces weakness
with strength. 1t is an ideal body
builder for old folks.
We promise you that Vinol is, first Of
all, agreeable, because it contains no
fishy oil. Second, that it is a genuine
cod liver medicine, containing all the
medicinal curatives and strength max
ing elements taken direct from fresh
cod livers; and third, we will return
your money If it does not do exactly
what we claim for it," Reinhart' s

To the Democratic Voters of Jefferson
County.

lam candidate for the State Senate
from this district. becoming so at the
suggestion of my friends. Believing
that my long service on behalf OF my
party in this district, and especially IN
Berkeley county, entities me to THIS
consideration, and feeling that my IA
miliarity with political and public mat
tiers would enable me to render some
service to the people Of the district, |
had intended to have my name placed
upon the primary ticket in Jefferson
county but have decided to refrain
from doing SO for two reasons: First,
the extraordinarily short time that ex-
lists before the primaries are held pre-
cludes my seeing any considerable num-
Der of the Democrats of Jefferson coun-
ty and acquainting them with my views
on matters of interest TO them; second,
because, inasmuch as it is practically
conceded that the nomination should
come to Berkeley county, it occurs to
me this county should be allowed to say
whom it desires to put forward for the
position. If am the choice of the ma
iority of Berkeley county Democrats L
shall expect the nomination, provid ed,
of course, that it is conceded 10 this
county.
believe that will not only be good
politics, but simple justice, and that is
all | ask.
understand that all kinds of false
reports have been circ ulated regarding
my candidacy in jefferson county. The
nature of my business requires me to
spend all my time at my work, and l
cannot therefore go about over the
country pursuing my traducers and COR
recting false reports, especially as there
is but week to do so before the pri-
maries in your county are held, hence
my name will not appear on your tick
ct, for that and the reason above stated.
My friends in Jefferson county who
have shown their fidelity have my
thanks. Very truly,

Communicated.

Mr.. EDITOR Il see by the columns
of your paper that the primary is caiieu
for the 10th of May-just 81 days from
the meeting of the executive commit
tee. Has ever such a trick been done
before in I'D Jefferson ?-the county
named after Thomas Jefferson, father
of Democracy, who laid down the prin,
ciples: rotation in office; fair ana
equal chance to all for election to office !;
the right of the majority 10 rule the
party, not few politicians and Office
holders to rule supreme, as is the case
in Jefferson county. We have heard
that there were only ii members out oil
the 40 in the county present on the 18th,
and do not believe they were aware OF
being led into political trap by poll
tician to prevent any Democrat from
having time enough to make the an
nouncement for office. 1t was a trick
worthy of some of the Republican poll
ticians of Pennsylvania. l am In favor
of pledging the candidates 10 the Legls-
lature to work for the interest OF all
the taxpayers of the county. and not
for the Democratic party alone, as some
have done before.
am in favor of and would advocate
placing before the Legislature the fol-
lowing acts: To have the railroad COM
NAMES place watchmen at all the dan
eerous public crossings that the people
of the counties shall ask for; the right
to demur to the evidence being ellmi-
mated, and give the people OF West Nir-
GINA trial by jury alone, and not
trial by Judge, as has been done in
number of instances that the lobbyists
be excluded from the capitol building,
except on summons of the various com
mittees, and that they shall first be
sworn as TO who they are employed by,
and this TO be matter of public record,
and then we will not have Legislature
run by lobbyists, as it IS at present.
am also i'll favor of placing heavy fine
on any railroad company that offers an
official of our State pass, and also on
the official for accepting same. We
want the officials 10 work for the well
fare and interest of the people of West
Virginia and not for the corporations.
