FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1890.
democratic celebration.
The Democrats""^ Sliepherdrtown
.ml vicinity celebrate the recent
victory in this place nelt Tuesday
night, November 18th, by a grant
procession, illumination, fireworks,
etc. Among the prominent men who
have been invited and who are expect
ed to attend are Senator Faulkner,
Hon. Wm. L. Wilson, Hon. Win. M.
McKaig and others. Delegations of
citizens are expected from all sections
of the county, and the indications are
that the occasion will be a brilliant
one. The people of the town are re
quested to illuminate their houses. j
They say that Harman is still run
ning- ?
QUAY'9 "vindication" seems to have
been mislaid.
Whkrk was Davison when the
light went out ?
It was a. mighty sudden halt for the
powers that were.
Thk McKinley bill did it? helped
by the Force bill.
Cleveland and Pattison in 1892
would just sweep the country.
Wk'vk McKinley safely
shelved. Now let's knock the Mc
Kinley Hill out.
Thk majority of Senator-elect
Parks in this district is 1,362. A good
majority for a good man.
WB presume that Mr. Elkins has
had enough of West Virginia politics
to last him for some time.
Thk McKinley bill lowers the price
of strychnine ten cents an ounce. The
y O. p. can commit suicide very
cheaply now.
It's a mighty good thing that the
Maine election occurred early in the
fall, or Reed would have been dumped
overboard too.
Congress ought to investigate the
conduct of Commissioner John W.
Mason in the late election as soon as
it reassembles.
One thing has been pretty clearly
decided by last week's election, and
that is that a Democratic President
is bound to be elected in 1892.
There's nothing absolutely certain
in politics, but we'll bet fifty cents
the Democrats will win the Presiden
cy and both Houses of Congress in
1892. ?
"Let us do our own counting, our
own registration, our own certifica
tion."? Speaker Heed.
Excuse us, but the people say they
prefer to do it for themselves.
Mr. Hayes turns out to be a pretty
good prophet. Several weeks before
the election he prophesied that the
McKinley bill would ruin his party.
And that's just exactly what hap
pened.
Poor Mr. Harrison! He honestiy
thought his administration would re
ceive an endorsement at last week s
election. Hut no administration has
ever received such a stunning con
demnation.
Cannon, he of the dirty mouth, has
been fired from his place in Congress
by an outraged constituency. There
is no more creditable result of last
week's election than the defeat of this
vulgar man.
One of the leading hat manufactur
ers of Reading. Pa., says that an ad
vance in the price of hats is inevita
ble. He is a Republican, so this goes
to show that the Democratic scare
about high prices before the election
was no false alarm.
Here is a guess that Mr. A. S.
Dandrid^e, Jr., who has just been
elected to the Legislature from Jef
ferson county, will be heard from in
that body. He will be one of its
brightest and ablest members.'? I'ar
ktrsburg State Journal.
Our Republican friends profess to
believe that the Democratic oyclone
of last week is the forerunner of a Re
publican whirlwind in 1892. Well,
boys, if you can get any comfort out
of that reflection you are welcome to
it? we do not begrudge it.
Thkrk is something really pathetic
in the appearance of our Republican
exchanges that have come to hand
since the election. Not the claw of a
'coon, not the tail-feather of a roos.
ter, is to be seen, and even the very
types seem to be paralyzed. We
reokon, though, they'll all get over it
by-and-by.
Sknator Vest makes a sensible
suggestion that the tarifT be reformed
by changing the law item by item by
means of separate bills. For instance,
first take the tax off of tin, then re
duce it on clothing, next make salt
free, then binder twine, lumber, but
tons and so on until the list has been
honestly and fairly adjusted.
Thk questiou of the speakership of
the next House is already beiug seri
ously considered, and there are a I
number of candidates in the field.
Among the most prominent men men
tioned for the place are Wilson of
West Virginia, Crisp of Georgia, Mc
Millin, of Tennessee, Mills of Texas,
Outhwaite of Ohio, Breckenridge of
Kentucky, and Bynum of Indiana.
Mr. Wilson is our choice.
Thkrk is a great effort among cer
tain New York politicians to boom
Governor Hill for the Presidency in
1892. Let the people not be disturbed
by this clamor. There is no popular
demand for Governor Hill in this ca
pacity. The man who at the sacrifice
of his political fortunes bail the cour
age to come out boldly and espouse
the cause of the people in advocating
tariff reform is th? man whom the
people want as their standard bearer
in 1892, now that Democratic success
Is almost certain. Grover Cleveland
stood by the people, now the people
are going to stand by Grover Cleve
land. Cleveland and Pattison in 1892
can repeat the history of 1890.
CONGRESS.
The election last week that swept
one party out of power and placed
the opposition in possession of the
House of Representatives is probably
without a parallel in the history of
politics. The Republican majority of
34 in the present House isannihilated,
and the Democrats will resume con
trol of the next House with the enor
mous majority of 154. The Republi
cans will have but 89 members of the
House when the Fifty-second Con
gress convenes. There will not be
enough of them to go around when
the committees are made up. NevVr
since the Republican party has had
its name has it had so few Represen
tatives. When that party first went
into business in 1854 it had 108 Repre
sentatives. In the history of both
parties there has never been such a
majority. In the Fortieth Congress
the Republican majority was 126. In
the Forty-fourth Congress the Demo
crats had a majority of 74, and in 1882
they had 81. But 1890 excels them
all, for the insignificant 80 Repub- j
licans who will have seats in the Low
er House of Congress will be confront
ed by 243 D .-mocrats, a majority so
large that no Republican parliamen
tary tacticians will be able to obstruct
business. Many of the Republican
leaders have been left at home, am ong
them such men asMcKinley, Cannon,
McCouias and many others, while the
Democrats have not failed in a single
instance to elect their most prominent
men.
The Republicans will be very lone
some in the next House of Rep resell
tatives.
The United States Senate i? not as
safe as the Republicans would like to
see it. Notwithstanding the admis
sion of new States for the sole pur
pose of bolstering their majority in
that body, the Republicans will only
have six more votes than the Demo
crats in the Senate, and possibly
only four.
It will only take one more election
to rout the Republicans out of the
Senate too.
WEST VIRGINIA.
West Virginia will not be classified
a? a doubtful State in politics any
longer. The election la*t week shows
that she is firmly anchored on the
Democratic side, and the probabili
ties are that she will remain there for
some time to come. J udge Lucas is
elected to the Supreme Bench by
about 7.500 majority. Every Demo
cratic Congressman is elected, the
majorities being about a follows:
First district, John O. Pendleton,
649; second district, Win. L. \\ ilson,
2,068; third district, John D. Alderson
4.238; fourth district, Jauies Capeliart,
1,700. The Legislature is safely Dem
ocratic. there bfing a majority for
that party on joint hallot of ..1; in
the Senate there will be 17 Demo
crats and 9 Republicans; in the
House of Delegates there will be 41
Democrats and 21 Republicans. If
there is to be any re-districting the
Democrats will have the management
of it.
West Virginia is all right.
MR. WILSON.
One of the results of last Tuesday s
election of which not only our own
district and State may well be proud,
but which is a matter of congratula
tion to the whole country, is there
election of Hon. William L. Wilson to
Congress. There is no superior to
Mr. Wilson in either branch of Con
gress. No man is better equipped for
the duties of a Representative of the
people in that body. In education,
intellectuality, experience, ability and
justness he is equal to any. In
character and honesty few men at
tain his standard.
All this being true, Mr. Wilson
would be the best man the Demo
crats could name as Speaker of the
next House. In honoring liim the
Democrats would honor their party
and their country.
Congressman Wilson Interviewed.
Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, spoke of the election with
considerable satisfaction to a Star re
porter. He said that the result
showed that confidence might be
placed in the people, as a final resort,
to approve t lie right and put the
seal of their condemnation upon
those who attempt usurpation of
powers and disregard public interest.
As to the presidency he said he had
no doubt that Mr. Cleveland held the
heart of the Democratic party, but
he could not predict what would
come out of the present situation.
"The mention of Cleveland's name
on the stump," he said, "always calls
for an enthusiastic response. 1
often avoided mentioning his name
because it might look like a bid for
applause ? a cheap way to ^et ap
plause for mvself. There was one
place 1 was making a speech. It was
very dark. I could not see the faces
of those to whom 1 talked. I could
just see the dark forms standing mo
tionless and silent. They might
have been stumps or clumps of
bushes. 1 could not tell whether I
was heard or needed. Then I thought
I would see if there was any life in
them, i asked if they wanted to
keep the district iu its t.u place in
the Democratic line. 1 asked them if
they wanted to join with the States
who would give their votes to sustain
the Democratic party and (irover
Cleveland. At the mention of Cleve
land's name a shout went up from
every throat and the tumult lasted
for many minutes. They were not
stumps. The name of Cleveland
never fails to arouse a Democratic au
dience."? Washington Star.
It was Mr. Emerson who said "the
first wealth is health,"' and it was a
wiser than the modern philosopher
who said that "the blood is the life.'* j
The system like the clock, runs down. \
It needs winding up. The blood gets
poor and scores of diseases result. It
needs a touic to enrich it.
A certain wise doctor, after years 1
of patient study, discovered a medi- j
cine which purified the blood, gave
tone to the system, and made men ?
tired, nervous, brain -wasting men
feel like new. He called it his "Oiold
en Medical Discovery.1' It has been
sold for years, sold by the million of |
bottles, and people found such satis- j
faction in it that Dr. Pierce, who dis
covered it, now feels warranted in
selling it under a positive guarantee of
its doing good iu all cases.
Perhaps it's the medicine for you.
Your's wouldn't be the fin?t case of
scrofula or salt-rheum, skin disease,
or Jung disease, it has cured when
nothing else would. The trial's
worth making, and costs nothing. !
Money refunded if it don't do you '
good.
I<eaillug authorities say the only proper
w?y to treat catarrh l?to take a constitution
al remedy, like Hood's Sarvaparllla.

Auditor's otlice, is investigating the
crooked work of Circuit Court Clerk
Clouston of Parkersburg, and it is be
lieved a complete examination will
show the State has been robbed of
over $100,000. Mr. Marshall found
that the further he goes the worse
the situation becomes. In thirty
four separate cases so far investigated
not one but shows rascality.

What Cures ?
EDITORIAL DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
ON AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.
What is the furce that ousts disease;
and which is the most convenient ap
paratus for applying it ? How far is
the regular physician useful to us be
cause we believe in him, and how far
his pills and powders and tonics only
the material representatives of his
personal inllueuce on our health ?
The regular doctors cure ; the hom
oeopathic doctors cure; the llahne
mannites cures and the mind cures,
and the so-called Christian scientists,
and the four dollar aml-a-half adver
: tising itinerants, and the patent med
icine men. They all hit, and they all
miss, and the great difference ? one
great difference? in the result is that
when the regular doctors lose a pa
tient no one grumbles, and when the I
irregular doctors lose one the com
munity stands on end and howls.

The Hon. Benjamin Butterworth,
who declined a reuomination for Con
gress from his distrh-t in Cincinnati, j
expressed himself Saturday upon the
result of the election. "In my opin- I
ion no man could have made a sue- I
cessful race for the presidency of the
United States standing upon the issue
of the MuKinley bill, and I think the ;
high-tariff path the rockiest one to
travel for public office at the present
time. The people of this country are i
in such a state that not even the
most prosperous class will stand the
addition of another feather's weight
| of tax. It was the most unwise poll- |
cy any party could pursue to take the
i stand of favoring an increase in the
tariff when it is and has been appar
I ent that a reduction is what lias been
needed and wanted."

A GREAT AMERICAN MAGAZINE.
THE SUCCESS OK "THE CENTURT" AND ITS
PLANS FOR 1391.
The CenturV Magazine Is now to well
known that to tell of Its past ?ucceB8 seems
almoat au old story. The New York Trib
une has said that It and Its companion, St.
Xichotai for Young Folks, 1-sued by the name

thlr'y of the country's population,"? and
large editions of both are sent beyond the

quite a respectable edition In Itself, lhe
question In England Is no longer "Who reads
an American book V but "Who does not see

A few years ago Tht Century about doubled
1U circulation with the famous War Tapers,
by General Grant and others, adding many
more readers later with the Lincoln History

CHILDREN'S LITERATURE.
WHAT ".ST. NICHOLAS" HAS DONE FOR BOVS
AND GIRLS.
Victor Hugo calls this "the woman'scen
tury," and he might have added that It Is
the children's century as well, for never be
fore In the world's history has so much
thought been paid to children? their schools,
their books, their pictures, and their toys.
Childhood, as we uudcrsland It, Is a recent
discovery.
Up to the time of the Issue of the St.
Nicholas Majuiine seventeen years a 40 liter
ature and children's magazines were almost
contradictory terms, but the new periodical
started out witli the Idea that nothing was
too good for children ; the result has been a
Juvenile magazine genuine with conscien
tious purpose,? the greatest writers contrib
uting to it, with the best artists and en
gravers helping to beautify It,? and every
thing tuned to the key-note of youth.
It has been special aim of St. Xicholas to
supplant unhealthy literature with stories
of a living and healthful interest. It will
not do to take fascinating bad literature
out of boys' hands, and give them In Its plaoe
Mrs. liarbauld and 1'eter Parley, or the
work of writers who think that any 'Vood-y "
talk will do for child run, but they must have
strong, Interesting reading, with the blood
and sluew of real life in It,? reading that
will waken them to a closer observation of
the best things about them.
In the seventeen years of Its life St'
Xichola* has not only elevated the children,
but It has also elevated the tone of contem
porary children's literature as well. Many
of Its stories, like Mrs. Burnett's "Little
Lord Faunt leroy," have become classic. It
is not too much to say that almost every no
table young people's story now produced In
America first s.-oks the light in the pages
of that magazine.
The years 1R?1 will prove once more that
"no household where there are children is
complete without St. Nicholas." J. T. Trow
bridge, Noah Brooks, Charles Dudley Warner
and many well-known writers are to contri
bute during this coming year. One cannot
put the spirit of St. yicholcu Into a pros
pectus. but the publishers are glad to send h
full announcement of the features for lN!tl
and a single sample copy to the address of
any person mentioning this notice. Tne
magazine costs $'>.00 a year. Address The
Century Co., 33 East 17th St., New York.

There is more Catarrh in this sec

last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local,
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutioaa! disease, and so requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
