A wrangling Family.

An editorial on IA Happy Family
in the Wheeling Intelligencer does
not exaggerate the situation, though
the head Is quite misleading. A por-
ton of the editorial is as follows,
setting forth wildly and truly the
status of affairs in the Democratic
camp. where the tomahawk is al
ready busily engaged in shedding the
political blood arising from one of
the bitterest> party quarrels within
the recent history of Democracy in
the state:
For happy harmonious family,
united against the common foe, the
West Virginia Democracy is about
the most amusing spectacle that the
year has produced. Louis Bennett is
swatting Adam Littlepage all over the
state. and Adam is emitting shfill
cries of fraud and corruption when
ever he can gain his breath. John
Cornwell and the B. & o. railroad
have Just finished the slaughter Of
Senator Campbell and Delegate Wet
eel. and are dancing the war dance
over their political graves. Saturday
Johnny McGraw took day OF, am
pushed and assassinated A. ]. Wilkin-
son, but left the American Book Com
pany alive and kicking. Now the Par
kersburg Sentinel hobs up with a
ommyhawk and scalping knife, which
it swings wildly while it hurls pet
names at the Hon. Clyde Johnson, OF
St. Marys. The chief of Mr.. johnson s
sins, according to the Sentinel, are
that Mr. Johnson is owned and con-
.trolled by one, Ran Stalnaker, and
the B. & o. railroad. This is indeed
bad. 1t is sad"
The Intelligencer uses a misnomer.
1t should be: "a Quarreling Family"

Bailey Injured scI,e,r.

Senator Bailey made no friends for
Auditor Arnold G. Scherr to the Graf
ton convention Saturday, when he
took absolute charge of the proceed
ings and in high-handed manner
manipulated the convention in the
interest of 'Scherr and others.
Commentingson the probable effects
OF Senator Bailey's action. the Fair
mont West yirginian says:
Senator s: 9B. Montgomery and
Prof. Mcdaniel. two well known
Scherr men, came over to Grafton in
the interest of Hon. w. G. Conley for
Attorney General, but Senator Bailey,
the leader on the Scherr side, was .un-
willing to give instructions to the
Preston county man unless he knew
what Preston county would do for
the Auditor. Hence, instructions
were refused, despite the pleadings
of Senator Montgomery, and the re-
suit was that Montgomery and Nc
Daniel went away feeling very sore
and declaring that Taylor's action in
refusing to instruct for Conley after
having pledged him support at the
district primaries, would lose Preston
county for Mr.. Scherr. Montgomery
and Mcdaniel both went back to
Preston out and out Swisher men,
Montgomery declaring that his paper,
the Preston Leader, would come out
for Swisher this week. AS he has
been a leader on the Scherr side in
Preston, his change of base will be
felt by the Auditors friends. The
mixup was an unfortunate one and
may prove costly to more than one
candidacy before the final round up
IL made

High Regard Tor Reed.

The Athenaeum, weekly newspa-
per published by the students of the
West Virginia University, contains
a very complimentary reference to
Senator s. F. Reed, giving some
"reminiscences of his career and the
prominent part he took in college af-
fairs while a student. Few men, in
deed, have been graduated from the
University and left behing such last
ing and splendid memorials as has
Mr.. Reed. Upon this point the Athe-
naeum says:
st may interest our readers to
know that one of the most prominent
figures in our State political campaign
this year and a great friend OF the
State and of her chief educational In
stitution, as well, is Stuart F. Reed.
OF Clarksburg. While a student of
the University he was an ardent pro-
moter of literary work and literary
enterprises and enjoys the distinction
of being one of the founders of The
Athenaeum just twenty years ago.
Being a. polished orator, he has
always been an energetic and force
full political unit in state and nation.
He was member OF the board
of regents of the University under
Governors MacCorlsle and Atkinson,
and did much to further the interests
of the institution, being the author
of one or two important departments.
He was also influential in making
possible the first edition of the Month
cola, the college year book in which
We all have so much OF interest.
THE Athenaeum extends best
wishes to its founder"
The Martinsburg Journal says:
Stuart +. Reeds popularity in the
Second Congressional district. in
which he was born, was shown the
other day in the Monongaia county
primary, where he received several
{ hundred votes more than the combin-
ed vote cast for all his competitors.
Mr. Reed is one among the states
ablest writers and speakers and the
progress of his candidacy indicates
that he is taking position as lead
ing possibility for the nomination he
seeks"
The pioneer Press, OF Martinsburg,
also says:
Hon. Stuart F. Reed, one OF the
States brightest men and most
sturdy Republicans, Is In Martinsburg
for a short stay, and incidentally
looking after his political fences, he
being a candidate for secretary of
state. No man in West Virginia has
done more to bring 10 The attention
of the outside world the natural re-
sources and great wealth Of our State
than Mr. Reed, in view of the
above, and the further fact that he
has rendered inestimabe service to
the Republican party ii is the con-
sensus OF opinion among Mr. Reeds
friends throughout the State that he
deserves the honor which he seeks.
Mr. Reed expresses himself as being
well pleased with lis prospects for
success before The convention at Char
lesion, and sc believe / lie is nomi-
mated and elected he vii make fine
secretary. He is rs genial as he is
business like, Is easy OF approach,
and possesses the various attributes
that are necessary in the successful
candidate"

Conspiracy.

Destroyed the Old English Law As
sumption that Union Labor IL =
Conspiracy.
(rrom the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette.
The simple fact IL that no man has
done more to place union labor on a
sound, square, law-abiding. respected
footing than william II. Taft by his
decisions In labor cases. Both employ
ers and employed have acknowledged
the justice Of his decisions and learned
to abide by them, and to-day there 10
not an intelligent worker or fair
minded employer who would seek to
abrogate them.
Judge Taft lifted union labor from
the doubt and uncertainty a. to its
rights which had before prevented and
gave 1t a standing which 1t has ever
since retained, and which has proved
uader his rulings, secure against all
attack. The old Assumption. derived
from England, that uAisn labsr n q
conspiracy, and that worksrs csalA b
prevented from leaving railway or
other employment at their Will, was
swept away forever By Judge TAFT %
far as the United States II concerned.
and when an attempt was made, years
later, to revive the principle, JuASs
Tafts decision was quoted successfully
by the labor side to defeat the plea.
Mr.. Taft was and 10 labors friend,
because he Is absolutely just. and
would no more permit wrong to DO
done to the poorest laborer In the land
than he would to any one else. And
tho honest, Iaw-abiding workers asks
and expects no more than this.

In a field Of thirty OF the best distance
runners on the American continent
The betting was 100 to against him.
and the very fact that an obscure In
dian, with practically no training, won
the race, which was classic event,
made the country sit up and take no-
tice. Since that day the Indian has
wen race after race with consummate
ease. his most remarkable feat being
when last spring he ran In the Boston
Marathon race, a twenty-five mile
American road fixture. There he met
11g United States and Canadian run
ners and won by nearly mile The
most remarkable fact concerning Long
boat is that he runs dat footed, smokes
continually and trains only In spas

The Star Arcturus,

It is probable that the star Arcturus
Is one of the six greatest Of all the
stars in the sky. Notwithstanding it's
brightness, it Is SO far away from US
that it is not displaced In position In
the slightest measurable degree, as
we change our position $4,000, 600
miles in our annual journey around
the sun. Gould we be placed midway
between Arcturus and our sun we
would receive thousands Of times more
light and heat from the star than from
our sun, and this Notwithstanding that
the stars radiation is smothered by
dense blanket Of metallic yapors. In
spite of it's immense distance the star
is drifting slowly in. a southwestward
direction over the face Of the sky, its
motion changing its apparent position
by an amount equal to the diameter
Of the moon in the course Of about
1000 years. So great an apparent mo-
ton must indicate an enormous veloci-
ty in space.-New York Press.

not been able to finish during the day.
twas past midnight when he went out
to mail them, and when he returned
and was undressing he paused in dis
may, missing check for a large sum

check curled about an area railing four

The Dogs Of constantinopIe,

There are at least 5000 dogs in
COnstantinople. which has a populati ton
of l,150 coo. They are the vilest OF
towards and are the scavengers Of the
city. It Is said that scores Of people
are bitten daily by the dogs Of Con-
stantinople. but that case OF hydro
phobia was never known there. Three
centuries ago Nassuf Hasha, grand
yizierkto Achmet III, transported all
the dogs to Asia and would have had
them destroyed there, but the sultan,
on consulting the mutt, was told that
every dog had soul and consequently
forbade such wholesale destruction.
After the slaughter OF the janizaries
Mahmoud intended to get rid Of them,
for he caused an immense number Of
sausages Cd to be made and, having
poisoned them. gave the dogs feast.
Many thousands were thus killed In
one day, but the people murmured SO
much that he was afraid to begin a
second days work. He therefore order
ed them to be expelled to Asia, but the
order was very indifferently executed,
and In a short time the dogs were as
numerous as during the time Of the
ja1izaries.
