and half years Of age. his father
considers 1t quite time he learned
properly to observe grace on coming

than once endeavored to explain to
him the reasons for his so doing. bnt
the little boy regards It as no more
than an amusing game ,..3
The other afternoon his older sister
made another attempt to interest him
In this duty. All were seated at din-
ner. and on the first words OF the
grace Williams small head dropped
In his hands In apparent reverence.
His sister, secretly pleased with her
success. stole a glance at him. when.

sprang up, shouting gleefully:

SHOULD SPEAK OUT.

The Wheeling Intelligencer. the
leading organ of the Republican par
ty. in West Virginia, shows insurgent
tendencies, as witness the following
1T is impossible to conceal the fact
that the Republicans OF West Virginia
are facing a crisis. The lesson OF the
Vermont and Maine elections can be
easily read. "a revolt against corrupt
bossism ishspreading throughout the
country.a The Republican State COM
mittee@in this state has been an in
strument TO force upon the party
organization, candidates who could
not otherwise be nominated. It's pres
ent organization is being maintained
for the same purpose. West Virginia
Is Republican. The majority OF it's
people believe in the essential prin.
ciples OF the Republican party, but
even their sterling Republicanism
may not be proof against the continu-
ance OF leadership, which no one be-
lieves in, and which no one respects"
Senator Scott on his arrival from
Europe announced that he was what is
termed a "standpater" Evidently
the Senator has not kept in touch
with the growth OF insurgent senti.
ment during his absence from this
country. He may find that the quar-
ter OF a million he spent to defeat
Hubbard in the primaries was money
wasted. There is much insurgent sen
tment in West Virginia and some
political surprises are in store for the
standpatters and office holders.
