.GOODYKOONTz CAND|-
DATE FOR CONGRESS
That is The Current Report Ii
: Circulation.
Keadle Not Yet Confirmed For
Postmaster Here.

Changes in the Republican situa-
ton are coming right along, and
there are new features Of the cam
paign which are adding more inter-
est every day. 1t is now floating
around that Mr. Wells Goodykoontz,
President of the National Bank of
Commerce, this city, will be can
didate for Congress from this dis
trict against James A. Hughes, who
has already declared himself. We
know nothing of the truth of these
statements and only give them for
what they are worth. Anything is
liable to happen in these days of un-
rest and political changes
1t is also stated that the appoint
ment of N. J. Keadle, as postmaster,
has been held up for some purpose,
and it is generally conceded that the
friends of Mr.. B. B. Goings are
working for him to receive the ap-
pointment. We have no means OF
shedding any light upon the fight
going on in the local Republican
ranks, but there is trouble in the
Wigwam which will develop later
Another rumor has it that Senator
Clarence Watson has been holding
up in the Senate postoffice appoint
ment at Williamstown, this State,
and it looks plausible that this may
have some bearing on the appoint
ment of Mr.. Keadle at Williamson.
However it may be, our readers
should not be very much interested,
for until we can get new deal in
the political arena of this section,
it matters but little to us who cap
lures the .plums that are falling to
machine politicians who are always
desperately hungry for Office.

WILLIAMSON, WEST VIRGINIA THURSDAY, MAY 2. 10
BRYAN.

Sam Blythe, in the Saturday Even
ing Post, has his to Say of Bryan:
Ever since he made his cross of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES speech in
the Chicago convention of 1896 Will
liam Jennings Bryan has been the
ante-election unknown quantity Of
the democratic party and the post
election known quantity. He has
been the party's cand date for the
presidency three times out sof the la
test possible four and there never
was a question as to what his cleo
tion fate would be in any of those
campaigns; but between elections he
has been sort of a doublebarreled
connundrum, which has taken nat
ional shape like this: What is Bry-
an trying to do and what can he. do.
If the democrats who have the
task of nominating a candidate at
Baltimore next June had an answer
to that query their labors would be
much simpler than they are likely
to be; but they have no information.
The best they can do is to guess
Only Mr.. Bryan knows exactly what
he is trying and will try to do. The
one certain thing about it all is that
Mr. Bryan is the largest individual
factor in the democratic party; that
he is playing his own kind of poll
ties every minute; that he undoubt-
eddy has a tentative program in his
own mind, and that the democrats
must await events with such COM
placency and meet them with such
strategy as they can command.
Since that was written, Nebraska
has voted. That vote elected Bryan
as delegate to Baltimore in instruc-
ted him for Clark, and Bryan will
obey his states instructions and
vote for Clark.

Cleaning Up.

needed the children themselves are

Duration of Conflicts.

Effect Particularly Notable i'm Shorter
Duration of Conflicts.
There are not wanting authorities
with, reference to things military
who aver that the Improvement in
arms has actually rendered warfare
less destructive, and that in these
days of fearful engines of war the
slaughter is much less than it was
in the old days of muskets, of bows
and arrows and of hand-to-hand con-
fiicts. In addit' on, it may be pointed
out that the modern wars have been
mercifully shorter, and so less san
culinary than those of the centuries
gone.
Under the primitions conditions OF
fighting, when gunpowder was I'M
known, wars drifted on for genera
tons. even for centuries England
waged war with Scotland almost
without intermission for a hundred
vars, and for Ike period with
France. The Thirty Years war and,
later, the Seven Years War, were
epochs in m litary history.
Our own civil war though fought
with muzzle loading guns, lasted but
four years About a year thereaf-
ter Prussia overcame Austria in sew
en- short weeks, and in 1871 tn
German power overwhelmed that of
France In some eight months.~I took
Uncle Sam only ninety days to dis
sipate the power of Spain in two
oceans.
II the. figures of history are cor
rect, continues the New York Her
aid, terrible slaughter reigned in the
old days when men met in hand-to-
hasd conflict and quarter was Meth

the battle of Chalons, when Attila.
the Hun and the Roman legions un-
der Aetius met, 1t Is said that not
fewer than 100000 men We're slain.
We are told that at the Metaurus
HasdrubaPs Carthaginians were
practically annihilated AT Aquae
Sextiae and Verzelae the Cimbri and
sTeutons were completely extermi-
mated by Marius; hunderd years
later 10000 Romans were wiped out
by Arminius in Teutoberg Forest,
and $4,000 Roman citizens of the
Greek cities We're slain in a single
day by the soldiers of Mithridates.
