?|)t Sjitpjftrtslohm $rgisftr H. L. SNYDER, Editor and Proprietor, Smkphkrdstown, W. Va. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1892. y In times of peace we want no wai tariff. By the way, wouldn't it be a good idea to advertise for Steve Klkins? Thk calamity shriekers are to be found in the Republican party now. All things come at last to those who will but wait?even the control of the United States Senate. Thkrk is a movement on foot to divide Kansas and make two States of ft. Don't do it. One Kansas is quite enough. Thk Hon. C. Wood Dailey is spoken of as a good man for United States District Attorney for West Virginia. He's all right. The future of the g. o. p. looks very dark, indeed. What has it to depend upon when such States as Kansas. 11inois,Ohio and California repudiate it! Considering all things, we believe it would be ju.-t as well for Hon. Win. L. Wilson to be a leader in the House of Representatives as to be a member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet. Wk think the Democratic victory rMovola,,,} will be a tasting our. m,. is a level-headed uian himself and he will surround himself with the very best men in the Democratic party. Of course lew good Democrats are averse to receiving an office, and wish that there were enough fat placet to go around. But do not let the scramble be too much of a scramble. Lieut. Peart intends to make another trip to the Arctic regions and will try to discover the North Pole. So far as we are concerned he can have all the room he wants up there, It is said that our Stevie is about to return to New Mexico, as the climate of West Virginia does not agree with him. We hope lie will not leave. He is so uice to play with at election time. Some very foolish Republicans are talking of running Harrison for President again in IStHJ. Well, if they are not satisfied with the licking he got this year we can perhaps do better in four years from now. Thk Democrats are pledged to re. vise the tariff laws, and they will surely do it. Hut tt will be done at their own time and in their own way?not as the Republicans desire it. The Democracy will move slowly, surely. sa fely. Thk official count in Ohio lias been finally made, and the Democrats tret but one elector in that State. It is plain that the whole Democratic ticket would have been counted in had it not been for technical mistakes in marking the ballots. Skxatok John* E. Kkxxa. of this State, has beeu extremely ill at his home in Washington the past week, aud for a couple of days it was feared he could not recover. He was suffering from pleurisy and his heart was also affected. He was much better on Wednesday. Senator Morrill, of Vermont, who is knowu as the father of the war tariff, says that "it is possible that we have carried the principle of protection very near to the extreme limit." The people of the United States have said that the lim it has been reached. Hkrktofork in looking for a Pen sion Commissioner a man has always beeu sought who would do most for the pensioners. We think now that the people who foot the hills should have a show. Let Mr. Cleveland ap point some good man who will try tt make soiue reforms and put an enc to the humbug and swindling con nected with this bureau. After a bitter struggle of about five months the great strikeat Homestead, Pa., has beeu officially dec'ared to be at an end, aud the met: will return to work at the Carnegie Company's own terms. The company has u big black list of men ! 4 " -ilr .? urirl t Oct. prOlllllleill ill IIJO BUIH'-, aiiu will not be given employment under any circumstances. This strike is bui another chapter of the old story ol the conflict between capital and la bor, and, us usual, capital is triumph ant at last. Probably the worst scared man in the country is our pessimistic friend of the Keyser Echo. He seems to bt certain that the whole country is going to the deuinition bowwows since the Democrats have swept everything before them, and he predicts many direful results when they are in full possession of the government. 11 Brother Thompson's prophecies of what shall occur after the electionhowever, shall be as far off the track as his prognostications before, neith er he nor anyoneelse need bealarmed. Thk people of this country hold up their hands in holy horror when they peRif that it costs Germanv each vear the enormous sum of $190,000,000 to keep up her great standing army and her navy, and they thank kind heaven that they do not have to live under such a government. It is a tremendous sum to be collected from the people and so spent, true enough. Hut just look at home. The United States is paying fully as much in pensions to the alleged veterans of the war fought thirty years ago. The estimates for next year call for $182,000,000 to run the pension office. And the inevitable deficiency will swell the total up to $200,000,000, sure. Senator doruiaii says it will reach this sum. After all, which is worse?to tax the people to keep up a perfect military system or to burden them with tiie support of a million of pensioners of about whom one-half are undeserviug ? Speed the day when (irover Cleveland is inaugurated President ! Then down with the fraud and humbug and swindling of the Raum regime! Let the undeserving be weeded ou' and the penUsiou roll made a roll of honor?not a pauper's refuge! i# THERE WILL BE NO DISASTER. A great many Republican* profess to be very uiucb afraid that the conn- | try is on the straight road to ruin now , that the Democrats are to be in toll ] possession of the government. If ( their forlorn prophecies and dark } hints are to be trusted, every day is to (J r beasort of doomsday until the Repub- j. Means once more control affairs. Fac- t j toriesareto be closed, wages reduced * to starvation iigures, hanks are to burst.and business generally almost T 1 I entiiely suspended. ? Well, we can't believe it. On the 1 c , contrary we think the people gener- , [ ally are to be a great deal better off. t In the first place, an economical Democratic policy will reduce the necessity * ' for collecting so much money from x 1 the people. Again, prosperity will be 1 1 diffused, instead of being confined to " favored classes. Protected manufae- f turers will not, we suppose, roll in H i wealth as they do now under the Me- c Kinley bill, but if there is any merit 1 in their various branches of business they will still make as much money as ?? they ought to. If theie are any oue- 1 horse shops that can't get along with, out government help, let them shut s up. | C If the agricultural interests could v ( strugglealong without any protection, ' and compete with the world, selling t wheat at 70 cents a bushel, the mauu- t fac turers ought to make a living with * . moderate protection. The Democrat- 1 I icpolicy will be to give all people an c . equal ehance. No one class will be a . given an advantage over the other. Of course, this w ill displease the fa- j voriteswho have so long been fed on j government pap. They will squall F terribly when they have to let go- I v tint let them souall. Those who cry | } loudest will deserve least sympathy. * Just give the Democrats a fair I Si . chance, and if at the end of the next ! 1 four years they have not made a good 1 beginning in the work of reform that d , they promise to carry ou, let the peo- lJ pie promptly turn theiu out. i Congressman* Barter of Ohio is a 1 wise man in his day ami generation. ' v >'o sooner did he discover that his f > )\vii re-election was sure and that the 1 i next President was to be a Democrat \ than he made out a list of all persons i ' that he intended to recommend for t oflice and had the names published in the newspapers. By this means he is ? relieved from all fights for the spoils, j for he has selected men that he per- e SOliallv knows are fitted for the places lie desires them to have and he will j( not turn them down, no matter what j C pressure may be brought to bear. A Touching Speech by Gen. Hampton. The Democrats of Suiupter, S. C., ! on Monday evening last celebrated in j an enthusiastic manner the recent na- v tional victory. Fully 5.000 people par c ticipated in the ceremonies The j event of the night was the appear- r auce of Gen. Wade Hampton, who t was deposed from the United States (. Senate when the Tilmanites came info power. lie said that since lie had 4 been howled down by a mob in the * State campaign two years ago he had l . 1..r.iw.o n,.vur ? i'ji in to sneak, but 1 he could not resist the invitation to (] assist in such a celebration. He said j, 1 | that iu South Carolina Cleveland's a victory meant tlie rescue of the State (| from worse than death ; for a Repub- j lican victory would have made the people the victims of the force bill. He said his life work was done. He s had never sought official position, but *j had always worked for the good of t] the State! If after death his heart j.was examined, South Carolina would ^ be found engraved upon it. The only s thing tie asked of the State was the privilege of laying his bones among v , his people ami that they give him a t little earth for charity. The very t wildest enthusiasm was manifested by ^ ' the vast crowd at the feeling remarks of the State's greatest hero. c Revise the List. jA pension roll of a million names | ' 27 years after the close of the war is t self-evidentIv swollen by fraud and increased by nou-desert. t To tax this country $200,000,000 a t year for pensions is to impose an un- j - justifiable burden upon the people and {| > to render peace more costly than war. > I It is notorious that the object of j [ the present Pension Commissioner ^ and his immediate predecessor has been to swell the list at the greatest possible speed for the benefit of the Republican party. "God help the surplus!" cried Tanner. Kauiu's -j boast has been that he would grant j 3o0.000 new pensions in a year. There j( can be neither honesty nor justice in (| such an administration of the office. | Justice alike to deserving veterans c and to the taxpayers requires that | the pension lisi be carefully scruti/.ed v and purged of fraud and unworthi ( ness. A commission might be ep- ( nointed for each State or agencv to , tHke proof as to every name added j within the past 10 years. Some means must be adopted to correct an abuse j j of t!ie noble seutimeut of patriotism j, which has become intolerable. ?New H York World. i |, i The District and Circuit Vote. f 1 t VOTE FOR STATK SENATOR.

During the campaign a dinner took jlace at the Victoria Hotel, in New Fork, where Mr.Cleveland entertained Vlr. Whitney, Mr. Richard Croker. Lieutenant-Governor Sheet, an and >thers. It became celebrated, aw it vas believed that upon this occasion Tammany came to terms and the arnest work of the organization bejan from that date. No one except hose present has been supposed to snow accurately what took place in he private dining-room. Wednesday night, however, Mr. Thomas G. Shearman made a speech it a dinner given in New York by he Single-Tax Club, in which he detlares that he was in telephone conlec'Ion with the room and heard all hat passed. Mr. Shearman said, according to he report of the New York Sun : "At the dinner, as we all know, verc Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Whitney, Mr. Mckinson, Mr. Richard Croker, our ible Lieutenant-Governor, Mr. Sheelan, and that distinguished gentleuen who, on account of his brains ,nd eminent fitness, is mentioned as ur next Senator, Mr. Edward Mur>hy, Jr. You know our LieutenautTovernor has an ardent nature as veil as un ardent head. Now, Mr. iheehan didn't wait for the dinner to >rogress very far. "He wanted certain matters settled J once. So, very shortly after they at down, lie began to speak to Mr. Cleveland with that impetuosity for viiich lie is noted. He told Mr. 'levelaud that lie thought it was ime for him to show his good feeling owards the regular party orgauizaioii; that pledges should be given bat the regular machine should be ecognized. "Mr. Cleveland listened to him loselv and with such a hland and .greeable smile that the Lieutenantruvernor felt encouraged to go on. ie did go on to map out a plan for Ir. Cleveland to pledge himself to he suppression of the mugwump, to j ledge himself to have no affiliations whatever with anti-snappers, to ledge himself to give the offices to he machine. Mr. Cleveland looked o ineek and so subdued that Mr. heehau said: 'I think we are t?iiitled to distinct pledges,' ami then topped for breath. " There was silence for a moment, iuring which all eyes were turned ipou Mr. Cleveland. Then Mr. .'levelaud, still calm uud composed, aid, and you may rest ussured thai i tiis reply is authentic : " 'Mr. Sheehau, 1 have listened 1 ritli the utmost attention. 1 have i ollowed you very carefully, and I , hink I uuderst nd you. In reply, 1 | rish to say that I'll be daiuued if I'll 1 ive any men any such pledges, and 'II be doubly damned if 1 11 give yuu he pledges you ask for." "That was what Mr. Cleveland said, .nd, as a Sunday school superinten lent, 1 must sav 1 disapprove of the rot'anity, but 1 rather thiuk it was xcusable under the circumstances. Lfter Mr. Cleveland had made this nphatic reply there was a silence, a ung silence. It was broken by Mr. Iroker. Mr. Croker said : 'I must leartily appove of what the President las said." " Gold From a Meteor. Orley Adams, a miner living in fruneau Valley, recently brought rith him to Boise, Idaho, a sample if rock which he gave to an assaver. fe haunted the assay office until the esult was given him. When told hat the sample contained a large luautity of gold he fainted away. A large crowd gathered, and when Ulains revived, in response to the lueries of several reporters, he said ie was prospecting at the head of Iruneau Valley. One night tie witlessed a queer phenomenon in the leavens. A blinding light followed, ,nd lie noticed something like a ueteor strike the ground a few hunIred yards from where lie was amped. In the morning he instituted a earch and found the meteor emhedled ill tile earth several feet. After uueh work lie secured a large chunk.

Adams engaged several men, who vill proceed with tiiiu to the scene of he discovery and remove the meteor o the railway station. It will then >e shipped to I)env-r for reduction. Local scientists are anxious to sell re a portion of the meteor for cientitic purposes, but Adams reuses to sell any part of it. He says le is the richest man in the State if he result of the reduction is anyhing like the us>ay. It is said a large party of prospecors left town as soon as Adams made J he statement. He has not locat-d he ground on which the meteor fell, itid they hope to find it and cheat Liuins out of his treasure. The later is confident they cannot find it.? ian Francisco Chronicle.

Allen Harrison, aged twenty-tlve years, was hanged here at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon for Hie murder of his sweetheart. Bettie Adams, on April 2 last. Allen Harrison was u suitor for the hand of Miss Bettie Adams, the pretty 16-year-old^ daughter of Mr. Frank Adams, who lives on Big Ca- i hell creek, lifteen miles east of Hun- ' tington, W. Va. She was his only daughter, and was considered the j belle of the region. The parents oh- j jected to Harrison's visits, and the girl soon gave him to understand , that his visits should cease. However, he would hide in the neighborhood, and when Miss Bettie would | visit a girl friend near by he would follow and beg her to reconsider her refusal to marry hiui. He sent her notes telling of his love for her. Miss Adams's parents were away on the second of last April. Harrison knew this, and. going to the house, asked ' Bettie again to marry him. She re- j quested him to leave. Pulling a re volver from his pocket he shot her i twice, the lirst bullet penetrating her heart. He then pulled a vial con- 1 taiuing laudanum froui tiis pocket, , but before he could drink it, men attracted from tlie field by tile tiring ' came and tied him. A grand jury was immediately impaneled and an indictment found. The triai began at once and continued three days, the jury linding him guilty of murder in tlie !irsr degree after being out but a few minutes. On Satin day last Harrison made the following statement to .Jailer j Jones, for whom he had formed a strong attachment : "1 nave been homeless and kicked ; about from pillar to post the best part of my life. Having no home, I managed as best 1 could to earn my living by labor of any kind that was honorable. For a year previous to - 1 ?* ti.c I April l IlttU iuuiiu 1 i l- uun ill ., Adams family, and worked for .Mr. Frank Adams at odd jobs, a large portion of that time making uiy borne at | his bouse. 1 learned to love bet tie \ Adams better than my life, and that she returned that affection 1 have ne\er had reason to doubt. We were happy in each other's company, and when she had given me all her atfec- i lion and I hail taken advantage of it to satisfy my desires, the awful situa- 1 tion confronted me that 1 had no home to take her to, no work that i would keep her, and no prospects ahead in any direction. Her mother knew all about our relations and made life miserable to me in a thousand ways. 1 studied the matter over in my own mind and determined to end my troubles by taking my own : life. A week or so before 1 killed Bettie 1 came to II untington and bought J an ounce of aconite from a druggist. ! This I fully intended to take, but 1 some turn in alluirs pur me in a better i mood and I returned the drug tothe j druggist and got the money back that 1 paid for it. "On the second day of April 1 determined to end my sutlYrings, when I ! i\.... tn mimr li iiimii urhn luul I IU * 'HIV iv/ iuvvi ?? ?* ? " ...... , promised me u job of work, and when j 1 got there lie disappointed me. The | revolver i had 1 got from a trieiul before I started to < hia, and ha<l it for the purpose of defending myself from j a couple of men with whom 1 had | trouble, and who had threatened me. I After the disappointment at Una 1 I went into Late Simpson's store and bought a bottle of laudanum. 1 started toward Adams's, and when 1 reached a point half way between the old mill and the house I sut down on a log and swallowed every drop of the contents of the bottle. 1 calcu- j lated that 1 would reach Adaius's just about the time the drug would allect me, and there 1 could lay down and die where Hettie could be with me. Just as 1 reached the gate I met Mrs. Adams driving some sheep out of the lot. 1 told her that I would drive them out for her, and I did. As God is my judge that is the last thing 1 remember now or ever did remember until 1 heard dogs barking and was dragged out from beside the log and arrested. "1 don't deny that 1 killed Hettie Adams, but how or where, or in what manner it came about, 1 do not know. "1 am now about to die for killing the only girl that I ever loved. 1 hold no malice against any one in the j world, and would at this moment take the hand of Mrs. Adams, who, above all others, caused my unhappiness. and wish her a home in heaven. 1 have tried to repent, and will meet Hettie in a better laud."
