Once more Mr. Blaine is counted oul of the Presidential possibilities. He if the moat counted out man in America, Nevertheless, here's a Happy New Yeai to bin*. In the present condition of the conn try roads some of our State statesmen will have to start at once or they wiJ not get to Charleston in time to answei roll call on the 14th. Ir there io any water in the neighbor hood of Fort Fairfield, Maine, then should be an ice crop worth having with the mercury (30 degrees below zero It does not follow that ice will be anj cheaper next summer. Buffalo JBili/s opportunity to go ani Rapture some Indians, tliu while lie wears his dress suit and decorations, ii now fall on. It will bo somo time be fore the Wild West will be any wildei than it is at this present moment. Tub clork of the weather promises the Ohio Valley an unuuually warm timt to*day. This is precisely what the Ohic Valley does not want. A gentle thaw to remove the snow graudally is whai we would like to have. Otherwise then may be troublo on the Ohio. Tna desperate attitude of the hostile Indianc means that they deliberate!) invite extermination in preference tc subjection. Kitting Bull struck the key note when he said that God Almighty made him an Indian, but that nobod) could make him an agoncy Indian. Sosf&noDY is long-headed enough tc knatf that Major McKinley can not get tb? nomination for Governor of Ohio '.Ud isn't within forty thousand miles ol the Presidential nomination. The same somebody knows that Senator Sherman is to have these desirable things. It is wonderful that some people manage to know so much more than other people whose opportunities are as good. Mb. Muuat Halhtkad, commenting on the revival of the scheme to console data into oae great city all the populous communities around New York, wants to know whether the government ol that city is not bad enough as it Is. What a harvest tho consolidation would preeeut to the jobbers in municipal affairs, and how much more difficult it would bo to get hold ol them. The wider the field of operation the better for all sorts ol boodlers. Gladstonk at eighty-one years 0( age is the leading statesman of Great Britain and the finest flguro in Kuropoan politics. In this country tho man mar live to be eighty-one, but we kill the public servant long before. It is doubtful whether a man of Gladstone's years could be elected President; yet Gladatone is not thought to be too old to be at the head of the British Government in case his party shall come into power at the next election. Work ?tud Vote. On Saturday next the voters of the First Senatorial District will elect a successor to the late Senator B. J. Smith. For this important position the Republicans have nominated an excellent man who will, if elected, serve the district faithfully. He will be elected if Bepublicans make it their business to work for him and vote for him. The Kepublican who stays away from the polls may cost bis party this seat in the State legislature. Keaolve nnri Try. Never mind tho people who poke fan at you lor making good resolution* at the beginning of tho year. Any time ie a good time to make a good resolution. The first of a new year, by reason of the association of ideas, seems to be the moat fitting time. In reality the most fitting time is the present time, whenever that may be. Tho people who do the fun-poking are likely to be those who make no good resolves of their own but go on in the same old happy-go-lucky way, drif;ingwith the tide. It is better to resolve and try and fail and keep on trying than to bavo no fixod idea of where you wunt o go and how you want to get there. Poblto Sentiment ?u Agalnit Htm. The people of Carroilton, Miss., had never had a Republican postmaster until young Matthews was appointed. They oonld cot stand the daily exhibition of j Federal power as represented in the person of this young Republican, at J they determined to resent the affront. They dM it by killing the postmaster. Thay is the right pronoun to nee, for while one man did the shooting the murder was the result of a conspiracy, in which joined all that goes to make up imblic sentiment. THUS far tho facte have not been denied. The President now has sufficient no* tlce that public sentiment in Carroilton will not tolerate a Republican postnsater. Tho peoplo there feel on the abject of Republican postmasters jnst at they and their fellow partisans through the Booth feel about a Federal flection Taw?they don't like it and thoy won't permit its enforcement. 11 a FederaT election law should not j . . be passed because tbe people who profit 1 by election lawlessness do not desire It | and declare they wilt not submit to it, ( is there not equal reaaon why a Repub- . lican postmaster ahoold not be ''crammed down tbe tbroata" of the good people of 1 Carrollton" j While this question ia awaiting nettle- , ment perhaps the people of Carrollton j might try their handa at getting along i without a postofllce. An American bchool of Manners* A correspondent of the New York Tribune makes a plea for an American school of manners for the Five Thousand, which he hopes may be something quite different from tbe school in which the Four Hundred are training themselves and their progeny. The Four Hundred and tbe Five Thousand 1 They are not a drop in this great American bucket. If wearegoing to have a school of manners let it be for tbe Sixty-three Millions. We may expect that in this school the student will be taught that It is not good manners to spit tobacco juice on the floor of a car or a place OI aiuunmucui, vi w.vm ? street; to "hog" (oar whole seals in a railway car; to rattle your programme or to talk through the play; to blackmail tradesmen by demanding of them aubacriptions to worthy objects in which t'aey feel no interest; to do generally those things which arouse all the original sin there is in men and women. When this school opens the enrollment may not be large, but it will have , a deal of raw material to work on. 1 Big Storte* About Oil Developmant. | The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette remarks that "the Kitchie county oil boom bursts like a bubble." The In. TELLKiEM'KK has watched with interest i the effort to reach the oil which is be1 lieved to be in Ritchie county and r which may yet be found in paying quantities. No reliable information this newspaper was able to get tallied with " the rosy reports which found their way * to Pittsburgh. * Somebody who had his own interest * to serve has done the oil development ' of Kitchie harm by circulating extravagant statements. The samo is true of ^ other parts of West Virginia, notably, ihn Marion and Pleasants fields, where I j there has been handsome production, but no such oceans of oil as reports have , represented. i In tbo oye of a man who wishes to see it so a twenty-barrel well easily becomes' > a live hundred-barrel gusher, hqJ when > the truth is known disappointment de- [ > lays legitimate operations. It may be a ' waste of time to advise that the truth if t anything should be told in the oil busi5 ness, but this plainly is where the interest of the landowner and the public lies. ) ^ UKBAKFAbT BUDGET.

The moat valuable dinner service in the world, however, belongs to Queen Victoria, and occupies two rooms a) Buckingham palace, over which two men waich continually. The following alorjr is told ?n the member-elect of the Kansas Legislature ' from Kllswnrth cotintv: Being asked about the HcKtnley bill, he replied: "I have not given the matter <10 much thought as it should have aud will do nothing rash.
