FRIDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1890.
Thk Force bill has yet a bar I road
to travel.
Wk think it will be Grover Cleve
land in 1892. The people are calling
him.
Thk candidates for the various po
sitions in our State Legislature are le
gion.
Tariff Rkkorm is the watchword
of the Democracy from now until
1892.
CONGRESS is so busy doing nothing
that it lias refused to take the usual
Holiday recess.
Thk Senate used to be devoted to
the uses of statesmanship. Now it is
engrossed with politics.
Now that the Christmas bills have
come in, the financial stringency will
be felt by many a family man.
Thkkk are no Indications that the
people are becoming any fonder of
the new tariff law as the days go by.
It is said that Senator Edmunds is
to be the Reed of the Senate. We'd
like to see Kenna get hold of Edmunds
again.
Kx-Skxatok Camden says lie will
not be a candidate for the United
States Senate at the end of Senator
Faulkner's teriu.
Thk Mormons have bought three
millions of acres of land in Mexico
and will move from the United States.
We can spare them.
Sknatok Ingall* has gone out to
Kansas to see if he san't beat the
Farmers' Alliance and ajcain slip into
the Senatorial chair.
Pa knell was defeated in Ireland
on Monday, his candidate having
been left at home by a large majority
of the electors. It is well.
Waoks are yet at a standstill? ex
cept where they have been lowered ?
but the prices of household necessi
ties are gradually going up.
USDKR the new apportionment bill
that has just passed, the next House
of Representatives will have 356
Members. That's too many.
Somk of the politicians are already
setting up candidates for the next
presidential race. Hut there's a hard
winter ahead for most of them.
This isn't the time for "Senatorial
courtesy" on the part of the Demo
cratic Senators. What they want to
do is to fight tooth and toe-nail.
Thk gag rule was introduced into
the Senate on Tuesday by Senator
Aldrich. It hasn't yet gotten through
however, and it will be some time be
fore it will.
Thk West Virginia Legislature will
meet on the 14th of January. We
ought to get some good legislation
this year, as there are no important
political matter* on hand.
Thk sniveling New England poli
ticians who are so terribly worried
about jthe shotguns of the South are
perfectly willing to fill the same
South with the bayonets behind the
Force bill.
Thk state of North Carolina has
raised $?fl,000 to pension disabled
Confederate veterans. No southern
soldier needs to beg his bread, even
if lie hasn't the fat government treas
ury to draw from.
In the Senate on Saturday last Sen
ator Stewart, a Republican from Ne
vada made a strong speech against
the Foroe bill. There are lots of other
Republicans who think as he does,
but they haven't the nerve to express
themselves as he does.
Thkkk is still a little talk of doin?
something to help the financial situa
tion of the country, but the Republi
can Senators, who have been caucus
ing on the subject, have not as yet
brought forward any measure fc
that purpose. They will not let go
of the force bill.
Thk Republican Senators cannot let
go of the Force bill, and it is said that
they are preparing plans by which ,
they will be able to choke olT debate j
and rush the bill through. Hut we
are glad to note that the Democrats
are on the alert, and we think they
will be able to stave the bill off for
some time yet.
Thk Wheeling Register very truly
says that the West Virginia Senators
are doing their full share to show up
the iniquities of the Force bill and to
prevent its passage. Senator Kenna
has made a powerful speech against
it. while Senator Faulkner is ever on
the alert to puncture the bubbles and
worry the supporters of the bill. .
TlKSDAY night, as the Irishman
would say, was a great day for tariff
reform in New York. The annual
banquet ot the Reform Club was
held at that time, and a new "cam
paign of education" was launched
forth. Great speeches were made by
ex-President Cleveland, Gov. Russell
of Massachusetts, Gov. Boies of Iowa,
our own Win. L. Wilson, Mr. Hensel1
of Pennsylvania and others.
Th? New York Sun was very mueh
neensed in the recent campaign be
cause ex-President Cleveland refused
to make a canvass in favor of Mayor
Hugh J. Grant and the other local
candidates of Tammany in New York
City, and took occasion to villify Mr.
Cleveland in its usual indecent way.
Mr. Grant was re-elected Mayor, how
ever, although the independents made
a strong fight against him, but Mr
Cleveland has already been vindicated
for his course. One of Mayor Grant's
first acts was to appoint as a judge of
the police court Pat Divver, a notori
ous saloon-keeper, ignorant and un
lettered, who hasn't the first qualifi
cation for such a responsible place.
But he has a political pull, and no
doubt the bargain was fixed up be
forehand. Grover Cleveland seldom
goes wrong, and when he refused to
advocate the eleetion of the Tamma
ny politicians he was only doing what
bis inflexible and uncompromising
patriotism demanded of him.
SITTING BULL'S DEATH.
Although we have eiamlned the re
ports from the frontier very closely,
we have as yet seen no account of the
killing of the Indian chief. Sitting
Bull, that in our opinion justifies his
murder by the government officials. |
The facts as stated are then*: Sitting
Bull and his followers were encamped
some distance from the Indian
Agency where the troops were sta
tioned! The hand had committed no
harmful act. There is r?amn to be.
, lieve that thev had been badly fright
ened bv the massing of so many sol- j
diers af the Agency, and the annv j
officers were of the opinion that Sit- J
ting Bnll and his camp were about to
move ttwav from t.h*> vicinitv and take
refuge in the Bad Land-. It was de
teriuined to arrest the ehief. A squad
of mounted police were sent out for
this purpose, and stealing quietly in- j
to the Indian village they captured
Sitting Bull and his son, a bright
youth of twelve years. No resistance
whatever was offered by the captives, j
but the Indian warriors finally rallied |
and tried to prevent their chief and
his son from being carried off. and at- I
tacked the police. In the melee that
followed. Sitting Bull and his son
were shot and killed. His captors
sav that his own friends did it, but
this is most improbable. The police
were getting the worst of the fight
when more troops came up with
Gatling guns and drove the Indian
into the Bad Lands, the very place
they didn't want them to go to.
At the beginning of the present
trouble, General Miles, commanding
the government troops from a com
fortable office in Chicago, said that if
there was to be any advantage in
this war he proposed to have it and
to have it in the beginning. It there
fore looks as If the murde of Sitting
Bull was premeditated. The "ad
vantage" that General Miles pro
posed to have in the beginning was
doubtless the taking off by fair means
or foul the wily chief of the Indians.
General Miles has been indulging in a
great d?ul of loud and boastful talk,
and the killing of his adversary seems
to us to have been the logical con
clusion of his plans. It was thought
that this would end the trouble, but
it seems to have increased it. The
settler*, who were not alarmed before,
are now leaving their homes to crowd
into the forts, for they have good
cause to fear that Sitting Bull's un
timely death will be amply revenged.
The Indian is doubtless a savage
being, whose impulses are for blood
and whose instincts make him hate
vindictively his enemies. But pome
limes his eonduct does not seem after
all to be worse than the cold-blooded
barbarity of his civilized white
brother.
She Married the Other Man.
A dispatch from Petersburg, Va.,
says: "Some weeks ai;o Miss Jennie
Demaway, a beautiful and accom
plished young ladv of King William
county, went to "jarrctt's, in Sussex
eountv. to visit her sister. When she
left King William she was engaged
to a well-known citizen of that coun
ty, and December 23d had been fixed
for the wedding. During her visit to
her sister Miss Demaway met Mr. W.
G. Thompson of Jarretts, who be
came a frequent visitor. Their ac
quaintance soon ripened into love,
and an engagement followed. Mon
day of last week they took a buggy
ride, and then it was decided that
they t>hould go to Weldon to be mar
ried. This they did on Friday last.
Monday morning the gentleman from
King William passed through here on
the south-bound passenger train to
claim his bride, but, to his utter as
tonishment, when he got to Jarrett s
he found the lady of bis choice the
wife of another man. Mr. Thompson,
who is the happy bridegroom, was to
have acted as best man for the gen
tletuan from King William."

The Parting of the Wayi.
Wilkins and Watkins were college
chums and close friends. They had
been hard students and had taken lit
tle out door exercise. When they
shook hands aud said good-bye. at
the end of their college career, they
were in impaired health. Both had
dyspepsia, liver troubles aud trouble
some coughs.
Wilkins had plenty of money, and
decided to travel for his health.
Watkins was poor. "I must go to
work for my living, said he," but 1 11
try the remedy that Robinson talks
so much about ? l>r. l'ierco's Golden
Medical Discovery."
In less than two years, Wilkins
caine home iu his coffin. Watkins,
now in the prime of life, is a bank
president, rich and respected, and
weighs 200 pounds. "The 'Golden
Medical Discovery' saved my life at a
critical time," he often says. "Oh, if
poor Wilkins had only tried it !
For weuk lungs, spitting of blood, all
lingering coughs, and consumption in
its early stages, it is an unequaled
remedy.
Mr. George M. Pullman, the pos
sessor of $50,000. 000. recently said to a
correspondent when asked how it
'eels to be a millionaire : "I have
never thought of that. But now that
you mention it, I believe that 1 am no
better off? certainly nohappier? than
1 was when 1 didn't have a dollar to
my name and had to work from day
light until dark. I wore a good suit
of clothing then and I can only wear
one suit now. I relished three meals
a day then a good deal more than 1
do three meals a day now. I had
fewer cares. 1 slept better, and 1 may
add, generally, tuat I believe I was
far happier in those days than I have
been many times since I became a
millionaire. And yet it is a comforta
ble feeling to be rich."
Everything Else Failed.
I a in now 88 years old. and from the
time I was seven years of age until
1885, I suffered with a severe case of
Scrofula. During this time 1 took
every known remedy, but to no pur
pose. My father took me to North
Carolina, where 1 was put under the
treatment of an eminent phvsician.
The medicines given me had only a
temporary effect, for shortly after my
return the Scrofula broke out in a
more malignant form, aud I was
worse off than * rer before, in 1885 1
discontinued taking all other medi
cines and commenced taking Swift's
Specific (S. S S.) I took a number of
bottles and it cured me. I have

short and to the point.
Purchasers did more
outright buying early
in the season than w'e
have ever known be

they made great in

equal to the occasion,
we had previously
placed our orders so
that New Stuff would
arrive to till up with
and take the place of
the goods going out so
rapidly.
We are therefore prepared to assure
you that our unexcelled stock i- al
