H. L. SNYDER, Editor and Proprietor,
Shkphkrdstowx, W. Va.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1890.
It will noon be time to turn over a
new leaf.
As a party, the Republicans seem to
be pretty thoroughly demoralized.
Thk House of Representative# is as
quiet as a sheep fold just now. and
Reed is as meek as any lamb.
They are still pegging away at the
Force bill, and the Democrats are
making it mighty warm for the Re
publicans.
Thkrk is talk of weeding out of
the pension rolls the names of all per
sons undeserving. It is a good idea
and would save millions.
Thk financial cloud that is hover
ing over our country doesn't look as
though the people had much confi
dence in this administration.
TllKY are investigating Pension
Commissioner Raum a^ain. And
they'll whitewash him again, too? if
it takes nil the lime at Hakerton to
do it.
Skxator Quay is still maintaining
that dignified silence, although he
gave it out some tiuie ago that he
would answer the charges made
against him as soon as Congress met.
It seems as though there is no
stopping the Democrats. I>ast week
thty elected all their candidates in
Boston by 13,000 majority, reversing
a Republican plurality last year of
5,800.
Skxator Kkxxa made a vigorous
and effective speech against the Force
bill in the Senate on Tuesday. His
speeches regarded on all sides as one
of the strongest yet delivered on this
?ubject.
Skxator Si?ooxhr thinks the Re
publicans were defeated at the last
election because the people did not
understand the McKinlev bill. Oh,
no. Senator; it was because the people
did understand it.
It has been determined by the
Committee on Rivers and Harbors to
present no bill asking for appropria
tions this year. As there's no money
ofanyacoount left, this is about the
only thing that could be done.
It is encouraging to notice the fact
that the big rascals do not all escape.
In Philadelphia last week the mana
gers of a broken bank were clapped
in jail, a State Senator being among
them, for defrauding depositors of
their money.
Wk'll bet Santa Claus i? down 011
the McKinlny bill. The new tariff in
creases the duty on china toys from
35 per cent to 60 per cent; on filberts
from 3 cents to 6 cents a pound; on
raisins from 2 to cents: prunes 1 to
2 cents, and so on through almost the
entire list of articles generally used
at the Christmas time.
Tiik Indian war in the Went has
probably been nipped in the bud by
the killing of the old chief Sitting
Dull and his son. Murdering the
commanders is probably an effective
way of preventing a battle? out is it
the manly thing to do! We hate to
hear of the Indian chieftain being
shot down like a dog by United
State* police.
Thk Chicago Times recently pub
lished letters from 221 editors of both
parties expressing their preference
for the next President. The result
showed that 106 were for Cleveland,
52 for Blaine, 12 for Hill, 12 for Har
rison, and the balance scattering
This is a pretty fair indication of the
way the pulse of the people beats.
And the Democracy stands just this
way: Cleveland 106, Hill 12.
The Legislature of South Carolina
lias elected Col. J. L. M. Irby, a young
man only 36 years old, to suceeed
General Wade Hampton as United
States Senator. It seems hard to
throw a gallant old soldier like
General Hampton overboard, but in
the march of events the younger men
must sometimes take their place at
the front, too. Col. Irby was elected
by the Farmers' Alliance, but he is a
Democrat.
Thk women employed in Radcliff'a
woolen mills, at Birmingham, Conn.,
hare struck against a 15 per cent re
duction of their wages. The goods
manufactured in these mills were
protected by a duty of about 35 per
cent before the McKinley bill raised
the proteetiou to 45 or 50 per cent.
Now the proprietors seek to add to
that a saving of 15 per cent upon the
laborer cost. Precisely where does
the laborer come in for a share of
his "protection of American labor?"
?Scvc York World.
Thk President has an idea of ap
pointing his former law partner and
present Attorney-General, Mr. Miller,
to a place on the Supreme Benoh. so
the record of that gentleman has be
come public property. Some enter
prising writer has discovered that in
1872 Mr. Miller made a speech in fa
vor of Greeley and Hendricks in
which he scored General Grant un
mercifully. Among other things he
^said that if the phrenologist "were to
make a chart of General Grant's head
at least three-fourths of the entire
cranium would be found embraced in
the organs of gratitude and family
affection. To General Grant, moth
ers-in-law and brothers-iu-law, un
cles and cousins, wives' nephews and
all their several relations and friends
are all members of the uiuch-loved
family circle, and are alike entitled
to receive and equally capable of ap- ;
predating collectorships, postoftiees.
foreign ministries and other munifi
cent benefactions of the great mau of
the family. That a very large part
of these family appointees are incom
petent, corrupt and unfit for their po
sitions is notorious."
This is interesting reading to the pub
lie generally, but it must be particu
larly interesting to Mr. Miller's chief,
the Hon. Benjamin Harrison. If the
date and name had been left out uin?
persons in ten would have certainly
thought Mr. Miller was referring to
President Harrison.
THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.
The financial .situation in this coun
try at the present time is not rose
tinted. On the contrary, in the minds
of many well-informed persons, what
is already a grave state of Affairs is
quite likely to become alarming, and
a great pa?ic Js not a,uon^ tl,e im"
probabilities. The eiperienco of the
pa?t few months seem* to show that
the near future may well justify ap
prehensions of a serious character.
There ha* scarcely been a da\ in
which some heavy failure has uot
been announced. Some of the firms
that have stood the storms of fifty
years have been unable to weather
the gale even in this its early stapes.
As a single example of the present
state of affairs, it may he mentioned
that last week there were 847 failures
in the United States as against 200 for
the corresponding week of the preced
ing year.
There are various opinions as to the
causes of the difficulty. 1 1 seems to be
conceded that the lack of confidence
that business men feol in each other
?and, we believe, also in the govern
ment? is one cause. Another is that
thw volume of currency is not suffi
cient for the transaction of the busi
ness of the country. As to the first
cause, it seems plausible enough that
men should distrust each other when
the house that stands among the
first to day has its doors closed to
morrow. Neither can we be sur
prised at the lack of confidence in the
government. The financial policy of
the administration has not been such
as to command implicit faith. Indeed
no one can tell just what sort of a
policy the administration has. Tink
ering with the finances has been the
order of the past year. Secretary
Windom has tinkered and Congress
has tinkered until the patchwork
can scarcely hold together. Even
now the Senate will not let go the
Force bill so that legislation of the
proper character may be discussed
and enacted. The partisanship of
the Republicans has, in our opinion,
much to do with the present trouble.
They have been so l usy with parti
san measures, so Intel/ on political
schemes, that they liavi had no time
for making laws for the welfare of
the common country. Their neglei t
of the nation's business is simply
bearing its natural fruit, and the
people should hold the majority in
the present Congress responsible.
It is undoubtedly a fact that the
money now in circulation is insuffi
cient. Secretary Windom has been
doing what he could to offset this by
buying up bonds at an enormous pre
mium. paying interest in advance,
ami putting money out in every way
possible. This lias, however, been
like pouring water in a rat hole. It
has not accomplished any good what
ever. Those who have money are
hoarding it up for some reason or
other, and refuse to put it in the reg
ular channels of trade. So, with
ready money very scarce, and paper
looked upon with distrust and sus
picion, it is no wonder that our busi
ness outlook is shaky.
As to the remedy for the trouble, |it
is hard to say what will work out the
proper result. We believe it is inevi
table that matters will become worse
before they become better. We look
for a severe financial thunder storiu
before the business atmosphere be
comes purified.
HidcUn at Gettysburg.
The following was sent out an die
patch from Pittsburg: "When going
Into the battle of Gettysburg, Lee
Mason gave his friend John Ambrose
a package to deliver to his wife when
the war was over, as he felt a present
iment that he would not ouillve the
engagement. He was killed in the
battle. Ambrose, too, was shot in
the fierce fighting in the Devil's Den
and while lying helpless among the
rocks bethought him of the packet
for his friend's widow. Fearing the
Confederates might get it from his
body, he concealed it between the
roeks. Ambrose was taken to the
hospital unconscious, and lost a leg
there. After the war, he wandered
out West. He is now living in West
moreland oountv, Pa. Recently he
learned that Mrs. Mason was living
at McKeesporf, and that reminded
him of the packet. He went to Get
tysburg and found the package. It
had contained J800 in gold and some
papers. The gold was intact but the
papers had rottled. Sunday the
property was turned over to Mrs.
Mason.
It was Ben Johnson, we believe,
who, when asked Matlock's question,
"Is life worth living?" replied, "That
depends on the liver." And Ben John
son doubtless saw the double point
to the pun. The liver active? quick
?life rosy, everthing bright, moun
tains of trouble melt like mountains
of snow. The liver sluggish ? life
dull, everything blue, molehills of
worry rise into mountains of aniiety,
and as a result? siok headache, diz
ziness, constipation. Two ways are
open. Cure permanently, or relieve
temporarily. Take a pill and suffer,
or take a pill and get well. Shock
the system by ait overdone, or ooax it
by a mild, pieasaut way.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are the
mild means. They work effectively,
without pain, and leave the system
strong. One, little, sugar-coated pel- :
let is enough, although a whole box |
costs but 25 cents.

is Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Only !

We have been very busy this week.
Some of our friends acted on our sug
gestion and have made preparation for
Christmas !
Others have put it off until this week.
We will be ready for them. \\ e pro
pose making it lively from now until
the 25th for competitors. W e have
always been in the lead in
Low Prices.
We still intend to keep that position,
and take care of our customers.
We have no special
IB ITS
to throw out. All our prices are
low. They are published so that you
may be protected, whether you buy
from us or not. We still have

You had better buy early this week
as we are afraid they will not hold
out, judging from the way they have
been going. Do you know that a
HAT!
makes a nice Christmas Present? I
have them at a very low figure. A
good pair of
SHOES!
is also very suitable. You can be
supplied by us at prices to iuit your j
pocket-book. A nice
DRESS!
is also a vary appropriate gift, and
one that one will be appreciated.
Come and see what we have. If our
prices do not suit, do not buy. I
take butter and eggs in exchange for
these goods. Now, good friends,
Come and See
what we have and hear our prices.
I do not want to deceive you. I de
sire to retain your confidence by my
square dealing, and by giving you 100
cents to the 81, 16 oz. to the ponnd,
and 36 in. to the yard. If we fail to
do what we promise,
DROP US!
I have been very much encouraged j
by the hearty support we have re
ceived in the past, and hope to merit
still more by giving you
Good Goods!
at Low Down Price*.

fies us in the belief that our recent ef
forts in descriptions and prices inter

FINAL APPEAL!
short and to the point.
Purchasers did more
outright buying early
in the season than we
have ever known be
fore, and, of course,
they made great in
roads on the big pile
of goods. But always
equal to the occasion,
we had previously
placed our orders so
that New Stuff would
arrive to fill up with
and take the place of
the goods going out so
rapidly.
We are therefore prepared to assure
you that our unexcelled stock it al
most as complete and unbroken as
several weeks ago. It includes
DOLLS,
of an endless variety.
PLUSH GOODS !
of every description.
PERFUMERY!
in all sort* of new ideas of bottles.
TIN TOYS!
