8»tnr«l*y, April 20, 1889.
President Harrison say* West Vir
ginia boa the hungriest horde of Re
publican oflice seeker# of any State
in the Union.
Five companies of troops arc now
in Oklahoma driving out the intrud
ers who are rnsbing in to take up
the claims as soon as thrown open,
which will not be until April 22d.
Twenty thousand people arc already
encamped about its borders and
thousands of others arc making
haste to reach the territory before
that date.
Jolin T. McGraw’s head now real*
very easy. He is sure of not being
de|>osed till June ltifthen. During
the month of May the work in the
Collector’s office is very heavy and
a new than is not to be trusted at
this time, as Mr. McGraw’g particu
lar qualities for the place will be re
quired for the rush. That settles a
good many of the “hungry horde.’’
They can’t afford to wait at Wash
ington now till the appointment is
made, and they will find that a suc
cessor to Hon. Jno. T. ejn be found
without their assistance.
'The coal business in this section
has about dwindled down to the lit
tle end of nothing. This week the
pumps were withdrawn from the
West Fairmont shaft and the com
pany advertises the personal proper
ty for sale, which indicates that the
mine is closed to stay. Aurora mines
are nailed up, and Montana and
Gaston arc working about half time
with a reduced force. All t**is comes
to our miners under the promised
continuance of that Protection which
'ts Supposed to give work and good
wages to Americnn labor.—Index.
This country has two ex-presi
«lonls, Hayes and Cleveland, and
one ox-vice president Hannibal Hain
lin, Imt there are six living queens
of the white honse. They arc Mrs.
Tyler, who reigned as early as 1844.
and in yet living at Georgetown;
Mrs. Polk, who succeeded her in
1815, and still lives in the Polk man
sion in Nashville. Mrs. Johnson,
who ns Harriet Pane, is remembered
ns one of the most accomplished of
our while house mistresses, and is
living in Baltimore; Mrs. Grant, who
is living in New York; Mrs. Garfield,
who is living at Mentor, Ohio, and
Mrs. Cleveland, who will become one
of Gotham’s queens of social life.
All the widows of ex-presidents re
ceive a life annuity of $5,000 from
the government.
Anil now there i§ n big hitch at
-_the Nation,nl Capital in the distri
bution of federal patronage for
this State. Elkins has arrived on
the scene and has his little say which
causes the Goff element to fall back
in ainazoiiient. Goff and Elkins
don’t work well together aud several
slates which had been fixed up with
care lie shattered and broken now.
The fact is that all along, the ap
pointments have been made accord
ing to Goff’s dictation and since El
kins says he must have a finger in
the pie it nafurally upsets a good
many prearranged plans, as Elkins
• won’t agree to everything Goff says.
A candidate, therefore, don’t know
whether to gain Goff backing or El
kins backing, hence the mass of con
sternation in the ranks. Col. Birdie
Hart,oftho Intelligencer, don’t know
whether to laugh or cry.
We are convinced more thorough
ly than ever before that Oklahoma
is going to prove a delusion and a
snare to every tenderfoot who casts
his die in that recently made famous
territory. West Virginians are a
conceited set of folks. They have
an idea that they can prosper any
where. Because some of them are
great people in their own particular
localities they presume that they
—. will meet with the same recognition
abroad. To disabuse such a false
idea a trip to Oklahoma might prove
profitable. They would soon learn
; that such an individual as the sharp
er lives and has his being andean
f - cheat them out of their very eyes,
jif; Sharpers are numerous at Oklahoma
teguid all available land will be rapid
Hfly monopolized by them. The lines
W- bounding the territory are now guard
, ed by U. S. troops and the country
adjacent is full of settlers who will
buy and procure by foul or fair
means all the good farming sites as
soon as the territory is formally
opened. Stay. away. Stay where
you know your neighbors and where
the striving for a livelihood is not
an experiment but a certainty. Its
the. most Benseless folly to talk of
going to Oklahoma. Any place in
the west is better and *ur own soil
many fold better.
Tbe work of turning out Demo
eratic postmasters seems to progress
at a rapid rate, which ought to Jjll
the hearts of the faithful with joy,
hut it don’t. Everyone turned out
is that much, but their minds will
not be easy’ as long a3 one is lert in.
They are not taking much stock in
civil service reform this year, and
have entirely forgotten hat they
had to say on this subject four years
ago. We are rather glad it is so,
and we hope the gentlemen who are
now going into office will not kick
when their turn comes to out in ’93.
All wo are sorry for is that there
were not a few more offices for our
Republican friends to quarrcll over,
as every disappointed applicant
makes it much better for the Demo
cratic party. Unless all signs fail,
there will be some of the tallest kind
of *‘cussing” done before all the of
ipces are filled to the satisfaction of
moral Goff rnd Mr. Ejkins, and
the trouble with them is that what
is satis factory to one, is not what
the other wants. When it comes to
bting over a little hundred dollar
postoffice, the Republicans must be
hungry indeed; and when it is prom
ised to one by Goff and given to
another by Elkins, then tbe fun be
gins.—Oracle.
The reason we bare not moft fish
and a’ greater variety of 4eh tb the
Monongabela, !e because nobody
take* the trouble to ask the commis
sioner to furnish them.
There is no stream fn the
better adapted to raWttg 'Ash than
our own streeitt. h ought to furnish
an abundant supply. It ought to
profitable fishing in the Mooooga
bela. Our poor people, who arc un
able to buy meat, ought to find all
the fish food they want in our river.
This is a matter that is so easily
brought about that it is a shame to
neglect it. It is like many other
things that might he had for the
asking, but there is nobody who will
do so much us the asking.
In this connection, we are remind
ed that a Chamber of Commerce was
organized a short time ago, but we
have, lost sight and sound of it.
Here is work for the aforesaid
Chamber that is appropriate and nr
gent.
What !■ the Matter With the
Hlackbottle?
When a thing is actually ‘busted,’
it is time to gather up the fragments
and make the most of them.
There are numcrousiriquiries about
the Hlackbottle railroad. People
cannot understand wliv it is that a
valuable public work like that should
be allowed to remain dormant, and
of no value to anybody.
There is a large amount of trestle
work, erected at great cost, that is
fast rotting away. There are eight
or ten miles of road-bed, almost
ready for the rails. This work rep
resents about half a million of dol
lars. Why should it not tie of some
market value? Why should not those
who are interested in it be willing
and anxious to get anything out of it
rather than nothing?
Is it stubbornness on the part of
creditors that delays the sale of the
road? Or is it true that nobody
feels interested to a sufficient extent
to busy himself about it?
We hope that enough creditors
will combine to have this road put
upon the market in a way that will
give the purchaser a clear title, and
thus insure its completion in a short
time. Our town is greatly interest
ed in this enterprise. Its completion
would give us a boom that no other
project now in sight could equal.
Let ub have a pull at the Black
bottle. *
The Pension Lh|.
Criticism of Commissioner Tan
ner’s scheme to pension everybody
is received by the surplus spenders
and votc-catchers as “hostility to the
Union soldiers.”
It is not hostility but true regaid,
for honorable veterans, to wish to
keep the pension list a roll of honor.
That list will be anything but a roll
of honor when the bummers and the
shirks arc given an equal place upon
it with brave and faithful soldiers,
and when the able-bodied and pros
perous share the nation’s bounty
with the disabled and dependent.
It is said, in one of the true words
spoken in jest, that “Corporal Tan
ner will do his best to make the next
war popular.” Yes, with mercenar
ies. To pension everybody who vol
unteered is to make a lost virtue of
patriotism. To induce men to en
list, not in defense of their country
but in the hope of getting a life sup
port at the country’s expense, is to
deprave citizenship to Hessian basis.
The country should be and has
been liberal and generous without
stint in its care of wounded, disabled
and enfeebled soldiers. A pension
list of $87,000,000 a year is at once
a testimony and warning. To swell
it further by the reckless legislation
proposed would be an equal injustice
to self-respecting veterans and to
the over-htirdened tax payers.—N.

A Negro Victory.
Now that the enthusiasm engen
dered by Harrison’s election has
died away, and the thinking Repub
licans sum up the causes which led
to the victory of their party and ex
amine the race, they must deplore
the causes which lead to victory,
even if they glorify in the spoils of
the victor. By actual statistics the
Democrats have a majority of 1,250,
000 in round numbers, among the
white men of the country. Elimi
nate the negrd'from politics and the
Republican party is ir, a hopeless
minority. Even with u million and
a quarter of negro votes it is in the
minority by one hundred thousand.
Whenever a Republican considers
that though his party has a million
and a quarter of negro votes and
several hundred thousand ex-union
soldier votes, which can certainly be
relied upon no matter what princi
ples it may embrace in its platform,
and yet is unable to gain a majority
of the popular vote, he must surely
feel that his party has not that con
fidence of the people which is engen
dered by acts of friendship and fealty.
It is enough to convince a thought
ful Republican who is free from prej
udice. that his party, from the stand
point of merited popularity is a fail
ure. Without the negro vole, New
York. Ohio, Illinois, Indiana. Iowa,
Michigan and a half dozen other
Northern States would be Democrat
ic by majorities ranging up in the
thousands. There would be no
doubtful states, as only the North
east and Northwest would be Repub
lican. Hon about West Virgin-,
ia without the negro vote? And
how about the negro vote? Is it not
a burlesque on the right of suffrage?
Are there 25,000 negroes in the whole
country who can cast intelligent
votes? who can vote as intelligent
and well posted citizens, in the inter
est of the principles that will accrue
to the benefit of the country? The
election of Harrison was due to the
triumph of prejudice and the holders
and followers of that prejudice was
She negro race. It was a negro vic
tory, and to the true victors have
not fallen a single spoil of office.—

- ^aibmost, April 13.—Governor
Fleming returned from an extended
business trip last evening. To tlic
representative of the Kegitltr he
said that be had received reports
from most of the counties in the
State, and was well satisfied with
the progress that had been made in
the gubernatorial contest. There
would be little difficulty in estab
lishing the illegality of the great
majority of the votes challenged in
bis original notice. The evidence
so far taken had shown that, and
when the legislative committee
meets on the 20th, his counsel would
present a case which be believed
would establish the entire justice of
his claim to the gubernatorial
office.
OOKK T.VKING xo IIEtOStTIOfcs.
'T have received no notice,’* Judge
Fleming said, udf any intention to
take depositions in behalf of my op
ponent. Of course he will lie per
mitted to copy t he depositions which
will be taken in the congressional
contests, hut beyond that we have
no knowledge of any steps that are
to be taken. Of course we do not
intend to insist on the contest of anv
vote i n technical grounds. I have
stated repeatedly, and 1 believe that
the public understands my position,
that I would not have entered into
this contest if I did not believe I had
received a majority of the legal
votes. If technical specifications
are not insisted on in behalf of the
Republican candidate they certainly
shall not he in my behalf, and I will
be very glad to see them dropped
from tbe contest entirely.”
SHOWING DP II.l.EGAL VOTES.
Judge Fleming has not taken an
active part in preparing the evidence
for the contest, but has received reg
ular reports of the progress. Coun
sel have completed the case as far
as Marion county is concerned.
Nineteen votes were challenged.
Depositions which were taken nt
Fairmont, this week showed that ten
of these votes were plainly illegal.
The testimony was complete and
convincing. It was shown by com
petent witnesses that one Republi
can voter was a minor. There were
legal proceedings in connection with
his birth, which fixed the date at
June 7, 1868. Another had been
discharged from the insane asylum
only a short time before, but was not
cured. Ifc bad previously been com
mitted to the asylum, and was gen
erally regarded of unsound mind.
Eight votes were contested on the
ground of non-residence, and strong
eases made in each instance. Sev
eral of ttiese men had moved from
the State, and been absent for a con
siderable time, while all, with odc
exception, had been out of the conn
ty for months before.
Depositions were taken at Man
nington to day. Eight votes were
challenged, and evidence showing
their illegality was sworn to in the
majority of them. In all, the con
test cases have been very successful
in Marion county, and while there
is no doubt that many more illegal
votes were cast than proven, the
Democratic counsel are satisfied
with the result.
A GUESS ON GOFF.
The representative of the Hey inter
had a short interview with a promi
nent Democrat, vWio is intimately
acquainted with every feature of the
gubernatorial contest.
“I am not surprised,” he said,
“that Gen. Goff has not given notice
to take depositions. I am informed
that iD every county his counsel
have taken exceptions to the deposi
tions, on the gropnd that they were
taken after the time prescribed by
the law, and the act of the Legisla
ture extending the time was illegal.
I believe that Goff intends to base
his whole case on this claim that the
evidence cannot be considered; and
if, by any means, a single Democrat
can be induced to sustain this view.
Goff will be the Governor.”
“There is no doubt that the Ke
publican candidate has been at an
enormous expense. He has had great
er difficulties to contend with than
the Democrats had. His attorneys
and agents have been candidates for
office,and the national administration
has thrown them overboard for Steve
Elkins’ men. Goff cannot pay them
with political rewards. It will come
out of his own pocket. He cannot
help but feel that he is repudiated
by his party, and will be inclined to
let the contest drop. The easiest
way to do it will bejust as he is do
ing, and that will be the outcome of
the whole matter.”
SCALFING KNIVES WHETTEI).
Republicans are found who take
the same view of the situation. It
is evident that the reins of power
are fast slipping from the hands of
the Harrison county leader, and a
new man will soon tie in the saddle.
A prominent Republican, whose
name has been frequently mentioned
in connection with the congressional
nomination, said the other day that
the general supposition that Stur
giss’ appointment was Elkins’ work
was the correct one. “Elkins,” he
said, “wanted that position to go to
the Second Congressional district,
because that is his own district.
Sturgiss has never been a howling
Goflite, and. in fact, was understood
by his friends to be strongly oppos
ed to some of Goff’s plans. He was
not an Elkins man either, bnt Elk
ins picked on him ns the man most
capable of bursting the Goff machine.
Sturgiss has the inclination to doit,
and he will cut pretty close to Mr.
Goff’s fifth rib about the time the
Republicans get ready to elect an U.
S. Senator.
A MERRY, MERRY WAR.
•‘Now that the opposition to Goff
has found a leader,” my informant
continued, “there will be for the first
time a revolt against his dictator
ship. With Steve Elkins to head
the fights, and the National Admin
istration to furnish the ammunition,
it looks like one is going to get left,
and it won’t be hard to guess who it
will be.”
Jumped 286 Feet From a Bridge.
Cincinnati, April 13.—Meredith
Stanley, of this city, a well known
athlete and bridge jumper, who has
challenged Brodie, of New York, yes
terday mad" the most remarkable
leap on record. It was from the fa
mous high bridge on the Cincinnati
Southern Railroad over the Kentucky
river. The height is 285 feet. He
selected a place where the water was
12 feet deep, and, attired in silk
tights and slippers, leaped into the
air, and doubling up his body like a
ball fell to the water, and a moment
later hounded to the surface, where
he was quickly seized by assistants
in the boat. He conghed blood a
little while, but soon recovered and
took the train for Cincinnati. He
says the feat is done by knowing
how and by perfect self-confidence.
He escaped without breaking the
skin, and to-day says he feels as well
us ever. This bridge is the highest
in the world except one.

Blaine In tile Noup.
The question of Blaine’s strength
with the administration is one that
is worrying the Blainiacs, who were
so ardent for Harrison. Certain it
is I bat the State Department has
been relegated at least toward the
rear. But how far? The Philadel
phia Times says:
"There are well-defined murmurs
heard from the immediate friends of
Premier Blaine. It is now asserted
that he not only is powerless in
shaping thediplomatie. appointments
as : rule, but that two of the most
important missions awarded were
given without ever consulting the
Secretary of State. What does it
mean? Is Blaine in the soup?
“Blaine is nothing if not master,
and already there are whispers of
his early resignation. We don’t look
for Blaine to give up so soon. He is
an expert in the direction of power,
and he won’t get disgusted and tum
ble backward into the soup until
every resource and all patience are
exhausted; but until the issue shall
be decided, tile burning question
will lie—-Is Blaine iD the soup?
"Harrison is a proud man; proud
of bis name, proud of his lineage and
proud of his high prerogatives. He
went into the Presidency admonish
ed on every side that Blaine would
be his master, and he seems to have
braced his heels mule-fashion to
avert that misfortune. And when a
good old-fashioned Presbyterian
forenrdinationist like Harrison plants
his heels mule-fashion, somebody
must get into the soup. Is Blaine
in the soup?”

| . Braxton county voted l«al Monday
i i to subscribe #00.000 to the Weston
, ami Klk Itiver railroad, the propO
. sition cari-yihg by a Bine tenths ma
jority. The proposed road trill run
from Weston to Braxton Court
House, and is an important part of
Senator Camden's projected system
for the developo)ant of centra! West.
Virginia and the opening up of the
! immense coal field of this section.
It will connect at Weston with the
Weston and Clarksburg narrow
gauge, which is at once to be chang
ed to a standard gauge road, and
thus With the projected road up the
West Fork river from Fairmont con
necting with the Weston and Clarks
burg road at the latter place, will
give us a direct line of railroad from
Fairmont to Braxton Court House.
Each of these enterprises is to be
pushed forward in Mr. Camden's us
ually Vigorous manner, and all will
probably be completed during this
year. The line from here to Clarks
burg will be lei to contract next Mon
day. Capt. Pettigrew, who has been
engaged on the survey of this road,
will take his corps to Weston next
week to begin the necessary surveys
for the changing of-Uie gauge of the
Weston and Clarksburg road, and
within a few weeks the engineers
will probably be put on the route
from Weston to Braxton Court
House.
The ultimate extension of the road
from Braxton C. H. to Charleston, a
distance of something over 70 miles,
perhaps, is certain, and although it
is hot now being considered, it is
part of Senator Camden's genera!
plan for the development of the ecu
' tral part of the Slate and will be
accomplished in the near future
without doubt. The road from here
to Clarksburg will open «p coal
fields as large as those of the eom
1 bined Pittsburg and Councllsville
region, and with its connections with
the main line of the B. <k O. at this
point and with the Parkersburg
branch at Clarksburg, will place our
coal and coke nearer to the markets
of the West and Northwest by many
miles than the Connellsville output.
The road from Clarksburg to Brax
ton C. H. goes through n country re
markably rich in Datura! resources,
and its extension to Charleston
would also connect us closely with
the markets of tiie South and South
west.
With the Mouougahela River rail
road practically in course of con
struction and its extension as above
indicated absolutely assured, we
have little occasion to indulge in the
manufacture, also, of any “paper
railroads,” but we think it scarcely
possible that with Senator Camden’s
system in active operation and the
consequent development of this sec
tion of the State, the little gnp that
cuts us off from Pittsburg will be
long permitted to exist. In fact we
shall not be surprised nt any time
now to bear of one or more of the
Pennsylvania roads bestirring them
selves to get down this way quick,
and without taking time to ask for
county subscriptions, cither.
Altogether, Fairmont seems to be
in luck. There is a good sized boom
in sight, and the chances are that it
won’t be side tracked.

True u |fiospel.
Tbe Huntington Commercial say*:
“Some men try advertising as the
Indian tried feathers. He took one
feather laid it on a board and slept
on it all night. In the morning he
remarked. “Whiteman say feathers
heap soft, white tnan d—n fool."
Some business men invest a quarter
or fifty vents in advertising, and then
because they do not realize a great
increase of business, they decline
that advertising dont not pay. A
man should not expect returns so
disproportioned to bis investment.
Even little advertising is doubtless
worth all it costs, but a twenty five
cent local cannot be expected to revo
lutionize business and turn trade out
of its accUBtnmcd channels.”
