To prevent the spread of tuberculosis
among cattle in Virginia, State Dairy
Commissioner Saunders will order about
400 cows slaughtered this summer. In
Albemarie county abou; 80 were slaugh-
tered last week. Mr.. Saunders says most
cases of the disease are found i'll old herds
and that it is being gradually stamped out
by slaughtering and isolating injected
cattle. Under the law, the State dairy
and food commissioner is directed to
make tuberculine tests upon the request
of the owners OF cattle. Where an ami
NAL is condemned and slaughtered the
owner is reimbursed by the State.

There is host OF West Virginians in
the city. Some one said that there were
4,5O0 applications from this State for tick
cts to the convention, and only one ap-
plicant in ten could be accommodated. II
must be said that COL John T. McGraw
did all that mortal man could do to take
care of his friends. He gave out more
than a full share of official positions to
West Virginians, and besides secured
every ticket for his friends that he could
possibly get hold of. Other West Viz
ginians who were able to control tickets
were as generous as circumstances would
permit. Jefferson county had a large
contingent here. They were prominent
about West Virginia headquarters at the
Emerson Hotel and most oil them were
lucky enough to get tickets to the con-
vention. A number of them got positions
as officials OF the convention. Sentiment
seemed to be pretty evenly divided be-
tween the Jefferson county visitors and
the West Virginians generally, Wilson
and Clarke being the favorites. The par
ty leaders, however, are in full control of
the delegation, and there is not much
chance for individual independence.

Park for Point Pleasant.

Steps were taken in Congress last week
to establish a national park at Point
Pleasant, West Virginia, in commemora-
ton of the first battle of the Revolution
airy war which was fought upon the pres
ent site of the town OF Point Pleasant and
which resulted in the permanent retreat
of the Indians to the west banks of the
Ohio river State Director of Archives
Virgil L. Lewis, of Charleston, headed a
delegation of West Virginian historiansto
Washington and held conference with
Chairman Fitzgerald, of the House APP
preparations Committee, over the bill.
Mr.. Fitzgerald told Mr.. Lewis he thought
highly OF the project and would endeavor
to have the House appropriate at least
5000 before the present session expires
to insure the proposed park becoming a
reality. A poll of both sides of the SEN
ate taken by Senator Chiffon indicates
that the measure will be approved by that
body and that West Virginia will receive
its first national park

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic National Convention
convened at noon on Tuesday in the city
of Baltimore, with some twenty thousand
unterrified Democrats squeezed in the
armory of the Fifth Maryland Regiment.
The great building was beautifully deco
rated and most comfortably and conven-
iently arranged-an ideal place for great
convention.
The convention was called to order by
Norman E. Mack. chairman OF the Ma
tional Executive Committee. The ven
cradle Cardinal Gibbons, impressive
looking in his red robes, made the open
ing prayer.
And then the fight began.
No sooner had chairman Mack an
nounced that Judge Alton d. Parker had
been selected as temporary chairman OF
the convention, than William Jennings
Bryan was on his feet. He opposed
Judge Parker for the reason that ne was
the candidate of the conservatives, and in
a speech OF forty minutes appealed to the
convention, to elect Senator Kern of In
diana, the choice of the progressives.
There is something wonderful about
Bryan-he undoubtedly has a greater
hold upon the masses of the people than
any other living man. Every utterance,
almost, was cheered, and his appearance
on the stage was the signal for a great
outburst of applause.
Senator Kern followed Mr.. Bryan, and
in an earnest speech endorsed the views
of the great Commoner. He declared
himself as willing to withdraw in favor OF
man acceptable to both wings OF the
party, and appealed to Judge Parker to
also withdraw in favor of third man
There was no reply from Judge Parker,
whereupon Senetor Kern withdrew and
nominated Mr.. Bryan as temporary chair
man. Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as
willing to lead the cause of the progress
siyes, and the battle was on between the
the two factions.
The roll-call was begun, and the deep
est interest was manifested, as it was seen
from the beginning that the vote would
be close. West Virginia divided its vote,
giving nine votes for Parker and six for
Bryan. When the vote was summed up.
Parker had SIG and Bryan SOC, and the
New Yorker had won. The victory was
not to the taste of the convention, how
ever the delegates had decided, and
when Judge Parker was escorted to the
platform and started his speech there was
such confusion and so many persons
started TO leave the hall he foun5 it i'm
possible to proceed. There was little in
terest or enthusiasm shown in him or his
address, and in desperation the chairman
adjourned the convention until the night
session, when the Judge made his speech
under more favorable circumstances.

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 inflamed condition OF the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition Of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

THE Democratic congressional conven-
ton for the second district will be held at
Grafton July 9th. II will be a mere for
mality, as Congressman VIM. g. Brown
has no opposition and will be renominat-
ed by reclamation. Mr.. Browns course
in Congress has been so consistent, and
he has so ably represented his district and
looked after the interests of his constitu-
ents so faithfully, that his party is delight
ed to honor him again. There is every
assurance, too, that he will be reelected,
for even his political opponents find no
fault in him.

The platform adopted by the Republi-
cans in Chicago last week will not appeal
very strongly to the average citizen. 1t
savorS too much of the old standpat policy,
and is out of date. II was formulated by
the professional politicians like Crane and
Penrose and other discredited men who
have been repudiated by their own con-
stituents, but who are still making des-
perate struggle to keep afloat for personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. 1t gives no promise OF
relief to the people, for it clings to the old
ideas that have been very clearly demon
strated as inimical to the general welfare
OF the masses. Neither the platform nor
the candidate Of the Republican conven-
fion will arouse enthusiasm this year.
Moreover, we do not anticipate that
any considerable proportion Of the peo-
pie will be fooled by the political mana
gers in the approaching campaign.

TAFT AND SHERMAN.

The Republican National Convention in
session in Chicago last week concluded
its labors late Saturday night by renomin-
ating President William Howard TAFT and
Vice President James S. Sherman. The
seating OF practically all the contested DEL
eeates who favored Taft gave the Presi-
dent safe majority in the convention,
and though the Rooseveltmen made SIREN
uous efforts TO maintain their rights and
secure fair play for their honestly-elected
delegates. the steam roller was relentless
" run over them and they were defeated
on every motion.
The ballot for President was taken at
9 O'Clock Saturday night, and only one
vote was necessary. Taft received sol
votes, Roosevelt l07. LaPollette Al, Cum
Minis II, Hughes 2. Three hundred and
fifty Roosevelt men sat silent in the con-
yention and refused to vote. For Vice.
President James S. Sherman was the only
person put on nomination, And he receiv-
SGT votes, with 81 scattering and over
400 delegates not voting. The vote on
the platform showed an almost equally
serious division, the ayes numbering 666,
nays So, absent 10, and present 10, and
present but not voting 343. The West
Virginia delegation, which was so strong
for Roosevelt, refused to vote for Pres
ident or Vice President.
As soon as the regular convention ad-
journed, the Roosevelt men assembled in
another hall and prepared plans for the
formation of a new party to be known as
the Progressive party. Theodore Roose-
Welt was informally nominated as Presi-
dent, and committee composed OF Gov
ernor Johnson, of California. Governor
Strubbs, of Kansas, Senator Clopp, OF
Minnesota, Medill Mccormick, Clifford
Pinchot, Ben B. Lindsey and James K.
Garfield will formulate plans for a con-
vention to be held in August. Colonel
Roosevelt announces that he will accept
the nomination for President and will
lead the movement for new party. he
will fight to the bitter end and stump the
entire country between now and election,
and will welcome all Democrats who
favor the progressive movement.
The movement TO heal the party differ
ences at Chicago by naming dark horse
was frustrated by President Taft, who
would not consider any talk OF compro-
mise. There is little hope that under the
present conditions, with the party so
hopelessly riven, that President Taft can
be elected. Roosevelt will probably
come nearer an election than Mr.. Taft.

vious session of council the vote was

THE West Virginia delegates to Chi
cago seem to be in the air. They dare
not 60 into the Roosevelt movement, else
they will be repudiated at home; and if
they come back home as regulars they
know that they have no standing with
the Taft wing of the party. Giving them
full credit for patriotism, they are in the
middle of a mighty bad fix.

AT this writing, Wednesday evening,
no one knows who will be nominated.
The leaders themselves are at sea. Mr..
Bryan will have great deal to do with
the selection OF candidate. Most of the
delegates are for Clark, but he hasn't
enough to win, so far. Public sentiment
is for Wilson, but the practical politicians
are against him, and it will be almost a
miracle if he wins. Underwood and Har-
mon do not seem TO be in the running,
but may loom up larger. The nominal
ton will probably be made Thursday
evening or Friday morning.

1T was practically agreed before the
Chicago convention that President Taft
had little or no chance of being elected,
even if he should be so fortunate as to be
nominated. What hope can he have

shady endorsement from dishonesty

AT this writing there is every hope that
the Democrats in Baltimore will put up
winning ticket. The general disgust Of
Republicans at the result of the Chicago
convention causes the people Of all par
ties to turn to the Democrats for safe and
ane candidates, and Democratic policies
are certainly the policies needed by the
ountry at the present time. The stand
patters have had their day, and few peo-
pie feel like taking up the progressive
cause under the leadership of the impul-
swe and reckless Roosevelt. The democ-
racy is the real hope OF the people now.
