WEST VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats of West Virginia have
nominated the following ticket
For Goyernor-Louis Bennett, OF Lewis
comfy.
For Secretary of State-Adam B. Lit
tlepage, of Kanawha county.
For Superintendent of SchOOls-L. f.
Bush, of Summers county.
For State Auditor-Oscar A. Jenkins,
of Wood county.
For State Treasurer-Jere A. Miller, OF
Ohio county.
+. III. Morton, of Webster county, LOT
Attorney-Generala aud Howard Llwel-
lyn Swisher, of MonOngalia, and Bruce
Mcdonald, of Logan, for presidential
electors.
The convention declared for the Den
platform and i'll addition adopted
planks for a curtailment of franchise,
and for Jim Crow cars There was a
protracted fight over these planks and
they were referred back to the commit
tee, and a recess taken whilst they
were being deliberated on. Later the
committee returned them without the
dotting of an i, or the crossing OF t..
This led to another heated fight, and
in this fight strongly opposing the
planks was Ex-Governor MacCOrkle.
But after elaborate discussion the
planks were adopted as reported by the
committee, the vote being about 700 to
400.
Thus has West Virginia Democracy
shown the first nerve displayed in
years. Heretofore it has been too much
of all things to all men. Now it has
put on its fighting clothes, and if de
feated will go down advocating princi-
pies, instead of platitudes. When a
party takes a step with so much in ii
as fair and proper registration, a
standard of intelligence in voters, a
holding up of the white race to its
proper level, a fair and just taxation,
as against robbery and eXtOrtion, a
clean government, and destruction
of favoriteism and graft, then it may
expect the people to endorse it. But
when it enters campaign promising
everything, with candidates represent
ing the ring politicians, and the ring
politicians representing all the trusts,
monopolies and corporations, they
being the representatives also of all the
political heelers and boodlers of the
State, then that party deserves defeat.
The general public delights in honest
government, it delights in bold, cour-
ageous men, it delights in its chief Off
GERS being clean handed and men tC
whom they can point with gratifying
pride and delight, with whom they
love to associate, and praise for theil
honesty and good deeds. If the people
of West Virginia want that State te
rise to its proper place among the
States, they should assist with all theil
might in electing the Democratic tick
ct, and no sooner is this done than i
will take on new aspect for it need
publication, it needs to go to a highe
plane than it has enjoyed. They ma.
not know it, but its position in the ma
ton is not fattering under its recen
political domination.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eu-
stachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound OF
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, I'M
less the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
conditions, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

SPRAYING AND BIRDS.

Edward Howe Forbush New England
agent of the National Association of
Audubon societies. has undertaken an
extensive investigation to determine
whether spraying trees kills birds.
He says that for more than ten years
reports have been coming in from a re-
gion extending from Maine to Illinois.
to the effect that birds were disappear-
ing where spraying was done. or that
they were found dead Immediately af-
terward. Such reports have been fire.
quent since the opening of the eastern
campaign against the gypsy moth, and
in Massachusetts, farmers are warned
to keep their poultry confined where
spraying is intended.
There are at least three ways in
which birds possibly may be poisoned

eaten poisoned leaves-birds will not
eat insects which appear sickly. By
eating poisoned leaves, buds or grass:
BY drinking water into which the pois-
oned spray has fallen or dripped. Cir
cumstantial evidence. Mr.. Forbush
says. seems to indicate that birds are
being decimated by spraying, but he
also remarks that innocent men have
been hanged on circumstantial evil
dence.
Then he goes into a report of his
investigations and their results He
has not found arsenic in the stomachs
of dead birds. Summing up the testi-
mony, he says the belief seems war
ranted that birds have been killed by
spraying, but there is no conclusive evil
dence as yet that the destruction of
birds by spraying is serious or wide
spread.
The inference appears to be that the
thing to do is to keep on spraying, but
