Some OF the Democratic papers
are now speaking discouragIngly Of
the mention of the name OF Alton
b. Parker in connection with the
Democratic nomination for President
again. A lot of Democrats discour-
aged his candidacy before, at con-
vention held here for the purpose OF
sending delegates to the Charleston
convention to select delegates to the
national convention, but that did not
make any difference and Parker was
the nominee.
And no sooner did ne become the
nominee than these same Demo
cratic papers, which are now charg-
ing him with being Identified with
the trusts, Immediately rushed to
his aid, and the same would be true
of them this time Thus their pre-
tense of being so bitterly against
him needs no other explanation
than that they do not mean what
they say. But, every one knows
that, else there would not be so much
corporation ridden Democracy, es-
pecially among the leaders, in West
Virginia.

Scarcity OF Labor.


A New York special dwells at con
siderable length on the scarcity II
labor and assigns that as one OF the
principal reasons for an advance OF
tween ty-five percentum on the price
of coal.
There is doubtless something in
the statement that labor is scarce,
and, that thought leads 10 another
that the development OF the country
is greater than the physical capable
ity Of its population. II the latter
idea be true, it is certainly strong
urging for greater immigration.
However. the idea is debatable,
when it comes to actual facts. The
modern character Of development is
not especially large, compared with
the size of the country's population,
but to a great extent is so regulated.
planned and operated that a great
deal of energy, muscle and brain is
wasted. This is true with large
concerns. where men above the real
manual class are employed. Oft
times their energies are misdirected,

Away back in the early nineties,
when the writer was a member of tho

that | met at breakfast at the old
Exchange Hotel the witty member
from Tauquicr and Major Howell IL"
who happened to be in the city.
Said Mr. p: "Good-mornlng, Major;
how do you come on? How are you
making a living these peaceful times?"
Major L.: by blank, sir. ] am max
ing my living, sir, by engaging, sir, in
the honest but humble occupation, sir,
of cutting hoop-poles on soil made
sacred. sir, by tho blood of heroes
Mr., IT,: Major, do the spirits of the
gallant dead ever come back at night
to visit that sacred soil?"
Major L.. Yes, sir; they do, and I
make rule, sir at the solemn hours
OF the night to go out upon the battles
fields of Spotsylvania and commune
with the spirits OF the Confederate
dead"
Mr.. r.: major. wish to ask you a

echoed all over the large hall. and 1t
proved that for once the witty member
from Fauquier had met his match,
