&bt S^p|?bslaton Register. I
H. L. SNYDER. Editor and Proprietor,
Shkphkrdstown, W. Va.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 1890.
Wk do not think the Force bill will
become a law.
Timks are very shaky in the finan
cial world at present.
Thk peusion agents ought to be |
cleaued out of Washington, too.
Mr. Blaixk is about the biggest
Republican of them all just now.
A pknsiox deficit of forty millions
already? and the busiuess year is not
half gone.
AXTKR awhile the pensioners will
have to be called on to make appro,
priations for the government.
Mr. Hogg, the Democratic candi
date for governor of Texas, has a ma
jority of 150,000. He was a Hog^,
sure enough.
Wk reckon that Mississippi college
will have to get some other president
The people say they can't spare Mr
Wilson yet awhile.
Ol'R Republican friends are very
much afraid the majority in the next
House will be too unwieldy. But we
thiuk it will be handled easily enough
Tuk Indians are still in their war
paint on the frontier, and though
they have committed no overt act
they have the people very badly
frightened.
Thk notorious Bill Chandler is still
plotting to steal New Hampshire's
Legislature, but we are pleased to
note that the Democratic backbone
up in that neck of woods is very
stiff.
SKXATOR 1 X galls some time since
remarked that the Ten Command
ments had no place in our politics.
Well, it looks very much as if Sena
tor IngaKs will have no place iu our
politics after this term.
Ox one occasion, when he was a
Member of Congress, Mr. tiarneld
said: 4'1 am for a protection which
leads to ultimate free trade.'' And
yet the Republicans persist in blam
ing the Democratic tariff reformers
as free traders.
Thk Republican# don't know yet
just what hit them, and each is
blaming the recent landslide on the
other. McKinley says it's one thing,
Lodge another, Harrison disagrees
with both and Blaine has yet another
theory. But they all know it was a
clean knockout.
Mr. McComas doesn't seem to have
learned much from the late election.
He still insists that the McKinley
tariff is the best tbing for the people
and that the Force bill must be
passed. Mr. McComas seems to have
gone so far wrong that he will never
get right again.
I he Demooratic papers have aban
doned the cry of higher prices? Ha
g erst own Herald.
Whkrk are the Democratic papers
that do not contain in almost every
issue some account of higher prices
because of the tariff ? What paper
has abandoned the cry of higher
prices ? We have not seen any of
them, but on the contrary we find
renewed activity in this line of news.
Oh, no ! The Democratic papers
have not abandoned this'crv, nor will
they until the Republicans are
cleaned out of the Senate, out of the
White House and out of the Depart
ments, and the tariff is revised in a
spirit of fairness to all, with justice
to the consumer and the manufac
turer alike.
Somk of the postoffice officials seem
to think, as the Baltimore Sun very
truly says, that the lately passed
anti-lottery law was designed to sup
press the newspapers instead of the
lotteries. The law, which is doubt
less a proper one, was put into effect
without giving the newspapers a
day's notice, and caused great an
noyance and loss at the outset. Now
itiotic postmasters are making it
worse than ever. Not long since a
western publisher had his whole
edition seized became he had printed
an account of a simple raffle at a
church fair. And one day last week
the postmaster at Augusta, Georgia
would not allow the Chronicle to^go
through the mails because it mention
ed soiuetbiug about pool-selling at a
horse race. These things are out
rages that will not be submitted to.
There will soon have to be either a
modification of the law or a modifica
tion of the postmasters.
The New York Sun i8 making a
desperate effort to boom Governor
David B. Hill for the Presidency, and
it sometimes presents very ridiculous
arguments in his behalf when it gets
hard up for someting to say The
other day it contained an article from
Mr Philip W. Avirett, of Cumber
land, in which it was boldly stated
that neither Mr. Warwick in Ohio,
Mr. McKaig in Maryland or Mr.
Wilson in West Virginia would have
been elected had it nor been for
Governor Hill's speeches. This is pret
ty far-fetched. We are not prepared
to concede that New York's Governor
is such a demi-god as this would in
dicate. We do not dispute the idea
that he may have done some good
wherever he went. He probably
helped a great deal in Ohio. Hut in
West \irgima we cannot convince
ourselves that the great change
wrought was on account of his
speeches from the tail end of a parlor
car. We cannot think that the mere
lact of his passing through Jefferson
county at lightning speed in the dead
of night is responsible for our in
crease of 300 in the Democratic ma
jority or that the magnetism of the
man as he scooted past Sandy Hook
caused a change of 800 votes in Wash
ington county. Common sense tells
us that he hadn't anything at all to
do with it. The Sun, which betrayed
Mr. Cleveland and his party in 1888
will find it very hard work to crowd
Governor Hill down the throat of the '
Democracy in 1892. If we can't have
^Cleveland we don't want Hill.
A GREAT INIQUITY.
For five years the Register, hum
ble though its efforts have b?>en, has
persistently and vigorously fought
what it considers one of the greatest
evils attached to our government?
that is, the pension legislation that has
been fastened upon our country. The
"great" newspapers have deemed it
unwise to antagonize the influence ex
erted by the (i. A. R. and the politi
cal leaders have, with rare exceptions,
been absolutely afraid to lift their
voices against extravagance run mad
?fearful lest they offend the old sol
dier element. The thing that the
Rkoistkh long ago predicted has
about coiue to pass. Either greatly
increased taxation iuust be imposed
upon our people, or our Treasury
must be wrecked. The figures relat
ing to pensions are absolutely appall
ing. At the last session of Congress
the enormous sum of one hundred and
one millions of dollars were appropri
ated to pay the pension bills for the
current year. Already Commissioner
Raum announces a deficiency of forty
millions. This will make the amount
a hundred and forty-one millions.
But even this will not be enough. It
is as certain as fate that there will be
required at least one hundred and
1 sixty millions of dollars for pensions
for the year ending J line 80, 1801.
At the present time there are a mil
lion claims for pensions before the
bureau. A large part of these are yet
unacted upon. What our annual ex
penditures will be when these shall all
have been adjudicated of course the
most of them will bn granted? can
only be conjectured. Tne New \oik
JItrald thinks that by 1HU3 we will
have to pay yearly >0,000, 000. In
view of past experience this is not too
liberal an estimate.
It is stated that this year the peti
tion bureau is withholding claims that
! have been allowed, for fear that il a'l
the money i? spent that they call for
' the Treasury will be completely empt
ied. They will not be paid until a
Democratic Congress comes in, and
then the effort will be made to throw
the blame on it for the trouble that is
bound to come.
Extravagance in any matter is al
ways to be deplored. But the great
wrong of this extravagance is that
one part of the people has got to pay
so enormously to keep another part
in ease and idleness. We believe that
those who were really wounded in
their country's cause ought to be pro
vided for. But when it comes to sup
porting camp followers and hangers
on, the home guard, men who were
never in an engagement and who
never lired a shot or smelt the smoke
of powder, who are the victims of
chronic laziness instead of chronic
diseases? then we think it is time to
draw the line. The honest laborer
should uot be taxed in order that his
trilling neighbor may be able to loaf.
We are glad to note that the "great"
newspapers are waking up on this
matter. Now let our statesmen show
their courage in stemming this dan
gerous flood.
The Vote in West Virginia.
The following table shows the vote
of West Virginia at the last election.
In most cases the figures are official,
but where this is not so the figures
are those taken from the county pa
pers and are undoubtedly correct.
These returns show a majority for
Judge Lucas of 8.440, in a total vote
of 148.482. The Congressional ma
jorities are: Pendleton over Hubbard.
584; Wilson over Harmau, 2.063; Al
derson over (iaines, 5,105; Cape hart
over Smith, 1,874. The Prohibition
vote is not at hand from many of the
counties. Ten counties show a vote
of 568 for Johnson for Supreme J udge,
and it is likely the other forty-four
counties, from which the Prohibition
vote is not reported, will run the to
tal up to 1,000, or in the neighbor
hood.
The total vote of the State is 148,
482, of which 78,180 were ca-t forjudge
Lucas, 69,734 for Reynolds, and 56b
for Johnson. The total vote cast for
Governor in 1888 was 157,710, which
shows a falling otT in the vote of 0,228.
The Democratic vote in 1888 was 7tf,
18W. and in 1890 it is 78, ISO. a decrease
of 949. The Republican vote in 1888
was 78.581. and in 1890 it was 6i>. 784, a
decrease of 8.147.

damage, $ 10.000.
Senator John E. Kenua, who is
known to be one of the best deer
hunters in this State, has just returned
from the mountain after having as
sisted in killing fourteen tine deer.
He is greatly improved in health.
\ timber man from Lincoln county,
named Lewis Fry, recently created
considerable excitement at <'iiyan
dotte by throwing a number of
gold pieces into the river while on a
spree. When last heard from he had
gotten sober and was diving after his
lost property.
Two boys escaped from the State
Reform School last week and have
not yet been found. One was sixteen
years old and was sent from Wetzel
county. The other was fourteen, and
sent from Wood county. The Wetzel
boy was a special favorite of the su

tatai accident on Friday ast. He
was climbing down from nis hay-loft,

from the ladder. In hi- fall he struck
on a large .-leel hook fastened into an

butcTiered beeves or hogs. The hook
penetrated through the flesh and
muscles of his tlii^li. In lulling
Leonard had turned once, and when
he struck the liook he hung head
downward. He was found an houi
or more later, but was unconscious.
Having bled terribly from a severed
artery. He recovered consciousness
only sufficient to explain the accident
before he died.
Will Wed a King.
In Loudoun county, \a.,not ver>
far from Washington, there is a girl
who will some day contract an alli
ance with a king. Her dresses on
thai occasion will not be particularly
splendid, and for that reason, per
haps, the event has not attracted the
attention that such marriages usu
ally do. The truth is that the girl is
a n egress, and the man she will
marry is king of a tribe in Africa
She is at present being trained for her
future position in African court cir
cles and is an inmate of the family of
the Rev. John S. Chester, a clergy
man who, several years au'O, was a
missionary to the west coast of
Africa His wife became very fond
of a young African girl while he was
there and asked permission that she
' return with them when they left the
Dark Continent. . .
Her father, thinking the missionary
was joking, gave hisconsent, but when
the time came for parting wanted to
be released from his promise, (.hea
ter still persisted in his request, and
tinallv, as no member of the tribe is
allowed under paiu <>f death to brea*
a promise, he had to allow his daugh
ter to depart. The child was gi\en
; ti,e English name of Nellie, instead of
the unpronounceable cognomen
which she at lir>t possessed, and,
altough Chester already had children
ot his own, she was treated as a mem
ber of the family. Since ft elite lias
been in the United States she has
made great progress in her education,
and now, at the age of fifteen, is a
model of scholarship and politeness.
She can speak French and English
well and combines tin* winning ways
of an American ?irl with the po
liteness of a Parisian. Nellie looks
much older than *he really is and
would be eligible to marriage if she
were with her own tribe.
Since they came here the Chesters
have kept up a correspondence with
the parents of the girl, who have been
delighted with the progress which
they have learned that she is making
under her instructors. About a
month ago they received a letter
from her lather asking that she be re
turned to Africa, as the king wished
to claim 1 1 is bride. 1 he tribe of
which she is a member is a polyga
mous one. and Chester refused to do
this unless the girl was to be the
king's only queen. The king, who is
charmed with the stories about
Nellie has promised to do as asked,
and it is likely that within a few
months Nellie will he sent back to
mount a throne in her native land.
She has had several oilers of mar
riage from negroes living near her
home but she has refused them all,
and the king will find her heart whole
and fancy free. African-like, she
does not care much for sentiment,
and seems perfect!;* content to wed a
man many years her senior and whom
she has not seen s-ince she was a very
small child.
A Specimen Tariff Iniquity.
The Unzette, of Middleboro', Mass.,
finds that the McKinley bill, by in
creasing prices, has enabled the Star
Mills Corporation, of that town, to
sell otT au aocuiuu ation of 12.000
pieces of worsted dress goods that
were unsalable before the bill parsed.
This is good news for the stockholders
but not for the buyers of this class of
goods. The buyers of worsted dress
goods, numbering perhaps ten mil
lions of people, art* to euirer in order
that the ten or a dozen stockholders
of the Star Mills Corporation may re
joice. The nature of this iniquity
may be judged from the fact thai on
the cheap sort of dress goods worn by
poor women, costing eight cents a
yard abroad, the McKinlev tariff has
advanced the duty from 80 per cent
to 108 per cent, on Roods costing
abroad 12 cents a yard from 65 percent
to 82 per cent; on goods costing
abroad 15 cents a yard from 59 per
cent to 78 per cent. The cheaper
goods, such as the poor buy, are ad
vanced greatly in price, while a lesser
advance is made on the more expen
sive goods. The McKinley act must
have greatly enhanced the value of
the 12.000 pieces of dress goods the
Star Mills Company has held in
stock since last June. The bill put
money into the company's pocket.
The (razette adds that the Star Mills
will now reopen its factory and make
more ?oo*is at McKinley prices. It
shut down last sprins; for its own
convenience, but it will go ou now.
swelling local bank accounts and
drawing upon the poor all over the
country to the extent that the new
law compels them to pay more than
competition prices for dress ?roods.
Doubtless the company finds this all
very delightful. It is delightful local
ly?within a petty area? but it is evil
qu all the rest of the surface of the
United States.
Children are more difficult to doc
tor when suffering from catarrh than
adults. WhenJ treating the former
you should be sure to use that safe

dangerous drug is contained in Dr.
Bub's Baby Syrup, for the relief of
colic, teething, etc. Price 35 cents.

At Harrisonburg, Va., Sunday
morning, while the Presbyterian Sun
day-school was in session,' the church
caught lire. The scholars, however,
were gotten out without any panic,
and the tire companies appearing
promptly upon the scene the tire was
subdued before it spread to any ad
joining buildings and before the
church was entirely cosumed. The
organ, which was one of the finest in
the Valley, was destroyed. The loss
is covered by insurance.
It ie announced that a colony of
about twenty-live Northern farmers

Cullanan county, Ala., and will be
gin co-operative farming. There is
to be a joint stock company with a
capital of $200,000, limited to 200
shares, and no person can have more
than one share. The farm work is to
be performed by the shareholders
themselves and their families, and
the profits to be distributed as div
idends. They expect to introduce
manufacturing as soon as practicable,
as they have a forest of valuable tim
ber and an inexhaustible amount of
coal.
The National Orange closed its ten

In the Criminal Court of Chicago,
Saturday last, Judge Tuley sentenced
Henry Smith, the colored janitor
who assaulted Henrietta Elsenger, to
twenty years in the penitentiary, ac
cording to the verdict, after overrul
ing the motion for a new trial. One
feature of the sentence was novel, if
not unprecedented. "You have com
mitted a most heinous crime," said
the venerable jurist, "and if vour sen
tence was far heavier I would not in
terfere with it. You committed the
crime the 13th day of August, this
year, and that you may have oppor
tunity to reflect on its enormity it is
the sentence of the court that every
year until your term shall have ex
pired you shall spend the 13th of Au
gust ? the anniversary of vour crime ?
and the ten succeeding d'avs in soli
tary confinement in your cell."
There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than nil other di
seases put together, and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
curable. For a great many years
I doctors pronounced it a local disease,
I and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a
constitutioaal disease, and so requires
constitutional treatment, Hall's Ca

I Cheney A: Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
| only constitutional cure on the m&r

' offer one hundred dollars for any case
it fails to cure. Send for circulars

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch In the life of the Individual. Such a
remarkable event tn treasured In the mem

has been attained Is gratefully blessed. ;
Hence It Is that so much is beard in praise of ;
