ANCIENT REFRAIN.
John \V. Eckman an iron monger
of Pulaski, Va., and an alleged cap
tain of industry is quoted as having
said In a speech the other day, “if
you want to stop the whistles, vote
for Stuart.” The Telegraph says
that the Democrats are trying to
dodgo by saying that while Mr. Eck
inan's furnaces art- a great benefit
to the community, the community Is
a great benefit to Mr. Eckmau’s fur
naces, and it adds that there are more
communities that will appreciate fur
naces being established in them than
anyone can find furnaces to locate.
To judge by the atitude of certain
Interests with reference to the pro
posed gas plant. Bluefleld is not one
of those communities.
But tliis is not win# we started
out to say. This closing of factories
and furnaces, the cessation of indus
try and the clogging of commerce is
an ancient wail of the Republicans.
For many years they have attempted
to influence votes by threatening to
plunge the country into panic und
throw people out of employment if
^hoy Toted Democratic picket.
And measureably 4he scheme has
■forked, since there* are many, who
the fear of having a living cut off,
will vote against their sentiments
rather than subject those dependent
upon them to possible suffering.
There is absolutely nothing in it.
however. People have to eat and
drink and wear clothes under Demo
cratic as well as under Republican
rule, and these basic demands of phys
ical man are underlying principles of
all commerce. It is true that the
Republican party might as it has done
iilj the past precipitate distress for
a season, but it can be only for a
season since 'these matters are bound
to adjust themselves in the course of
time. And would it not be better, even
if such a thing should happen, which
is hardly possible now, to defy these
defenders of special interests, these
plutocrats who have attended as a
result of unjust laws, for a few years
with the end in view* of getting a
square deal, of receiving equal legis
lative benefits at the hands of the
government?. It is far better to suffer
for a time for the sake of Justice
than to submit to wrongs eternally.
THE CLINCHFIELD RAILROAD
The announcement that the Caroli
na, Clinchfleld Ac Ohio railroad is to
complete its extension from Dante,
Va.. to Klkhorn, Ky., within twelve
months will he of appreciative in
terest to residents of the Hip Sandy
coal district says the Courier-Journal.
The line has been surveyed a long
time and construction lias been in
progress on other sections of the road
for several years.
The Carolina. Clinchfleld A- Ohio, as
originally projected, is to extend from
Spartanburg. S f\. to a connection
with the Chesapeake A- Ohio ex
tension at Klkhorn in the “Breaks of
Sandy.’ The head'j'iariera of the cor
poration is at Johnson City, Tenn..
and the entire length of the road Is
2H3 miles. It is in ope rat lofi between
Dante. Va.. and Marion. N. C., a dis
tance of about 1&3 miles. Approxi
mately 100 miles of the road remain
♦o be finished, about sixty miles bo
tween Marion and Spartanburg and
about forty between Dante and Klk
horn. When completed it will tra
verse five States, Tennessee, Virginia.
North and South Carolina and Ken
tueky. The mlfeage In Kentucky will
not be extensive, as Klkhorn Is only
a fe wrnlle from the Virginia border,
but the road will have numerous con
nectJons arid will be of great impor
tance to *he Eastern Kentucky coal
field.
By means of the Clinchfleld road
and Its ronertlons with the Southern
the Seaboard Air Dine and other
roads. Kentucky roal will have ready
access to the Important cities along
the Southern Atlantic coast. Such an
nutb-t should greatly stimulate the
production of coal In Kg stern Ken
tueky and •should be of vast benefit r,■
Pike county and the surrounding ter
rltory. The ClfnchfleJd Is only one of
seieral railroads that are reaching
out toward the Klkhorn coal fields,
which for some years have been a I
tractIng outside attention. The Ches
apeake A- Ohio was the first road to
penetrate the “Breaks of Sandy,” but
|| it is not likely long to enjoy a Mono*

-. A
LIMIT REACHED.
i A prominent Mercer insurgent Re
publican predicts that the county will
go Democratic this year by a good
majority, and while he is still devoted
to bis party faith the high hand
ness of the local machine, the execs*
| slve taxes and the misappliauce of
the people's money are the things
which induce the belief thut the peo
ple are iucllned to try the Democrats
this year.
W e are inclined to this opinion our
1 selves. The people will stand just so
much in the name of party, religion,
faith, love, hope or charity, but there
is a limit at which the breaking point
is reached, and the people of Mer
cer county have reached tills limit.

Glasscock’s Address
The address of Governor Glasscock
to the Republicans of West Virginia.
Is rather disappointing. No objection
or criticism will be offered for what
it contains but for what it omits. He
deals ably with the history of the
party, its principles and achieve
ments; but upon these questions and
questions of party policy, there scarce
ly has ever been a time when there
was such a unanimity of opinion
among \\ est Virginia Republicans.
There Is no hint even among Republi
cans of this slat eof any trouble along
those lines. The trouble is not with
i party principles, but with party lead
ers. The state committee which mov
ed the Governor to write his address
has long been an obstacle and menace
to party harmony. Members of that
committee, if not the committee itself
were the Instigators, aiders and nb
betters of the disruption in Marion
county. Together with Senator Scott,
.mu u is understood wkli the sanction
of Senator Elkins, this committee is
wholly responsible for tin* unhappy
condition in this county.
Another matter of great dissatis
faction in this county, and especially
ill the first congresional district, lias
been the flagrant over-riding of party
inles and customs, by the senators,
in keeping in office post masters
whose terms have expires, and the
refusal to permit file congressman's
recommendations to be carried out.
The state Committee having called
for the help of the (lovernor, it is
disappointing to find no intimation in
j his address of any reformation of that
i committee, or of the methods used
byt it in the past to nominate unwor
jtity and objectionable candidates; and
j of anV change in the attitude of the
I l,ar,v leaders in retaining unfit per
sons in public office over the protesf
of the party; and over the protest of
those who by party custom have the
right to demand their successor,

MAN’S WILL POWER.
Bismarck's Comment on 8chopenh>usr
and Hia Theory.
In an eutertalulng account of a din
ner party nt Prince Bismarck's Berlin
residence which la given In the recol
lections of the Livonian Journalist Eck
hardt the following, which was a part
of the table talk, shows the host In n
new light: The conversation had turn
ed on Blsinnrck’H early days at Frank
fort. and Eckburdt usked whether at
the table d’hote of the Hotel d’Angle
terre his host had ever met Schopen
hauer. “No," said Bismarck; “he had
no use for me nor I for him. More
over, I have never had time or desire
to occupy myself with philosophy.
While I wqs a student SehopouJhaiier
was still unknown. I know absolute
ly nothing about his system."
Another guest, an admirer of Scho
penhauer. then Joined enthusiastically
In the conversation and explained that
the philosopher’s great merit consisted
In the discovery of the fact that will
power was the indestructible essence
of the mind of man and that intelli
gence was only of secondary Impor
tance. “That may Tery well be true."
said Prince Bismarck, “at least ns far
as 1 am concerned, for I have often
noticed that my will had already come
to a decision while my mind had not
.vet finished thinking about the same
subject"
MacMahon’s Epigram.
When Marshal MacMahou in the
Crimean campaign took the MalokoCf
by storm nud wrote his celebrated dis
patch. “J’y'suis; J’y reste** (“Here I
am; here I stay"), these words made
him famous all over the world. Yet
his friends snkl that the worthy sol
dier hud written them In the most
matter of fact manner, with no
tliought of phruso making. The most
surprised jkjisou over the success of
this epigram was MacMahou himself.
Proving a Statement.
A certain minister. who to nn em
phatic preacher, to at times at a loss
to give Ids utterances proper weight.
For instance, he’ll say:
'■This statement is as true as is the
night which will follow day,” or “as
true as that the trees will hud in
spring."
Hometimes it happens that the doc
tor has more statements than he tiaa
illustrations to give them weight. On
ono such occasion ho remarked. "This
to as true ns the"— Here the doctor
halted. lie paused a few moments,
and then his face Illumined—“as true
as is the statement that some tiiernbei
to yet on Ills or her way to church.”
A few moments later a lady entered
the edifice atid swept grandly up the
aisle. The doctor's face assumed nn
"I told you so" appearance. The con
gregation began to smile, then t<
laugh. Sympathy for the embarrassed
lady, however, soon subdued the ap
parenily uncontrollable mirth.
Th* Parrot* of Mexico.
What the wild pigeon once was in
point of numbers to ih<> United .States
the parrot, of varying shades of color
and all sizes, to to old Mexico. 1 lights
of these birds frequently darken the
midday sun in the lad country, nnd
they become* so tnine around the camps

•ndividual names and soon become reg
tiiar pets. Whenever the parrots do
