Charles J. Faulkner for a copy of the
speech of lion. E. K. AY i Ison, of Mary*
land, on the Blair Educational Bill.
Mr. Da\f D. John.son, of Parkers
burg, baa resigned the chairmanship of
the State Prohibition League. The
League loses a good officer by the res
ignation of Mr. Johnson.
Jay IIi'BDKLL, of 1880 £2 fame,
will not go to Congress this year. Tho
Republican convention for the Eleventh
district of Michigan defeated him by
nominating Henry W. Seymour. Even
the Republicans seeius to have tired of
the notorious Jay.
W hat the Democratic party of this
State needs more than booming this
man and that man for office is organiza
tion. Each county and school district
should have its own organization. Once
thoroughly organized, it will be time
enough to discuss the candidates for
office. Give us organization, gentle
men.
A tkruikuc explosion in a British
Columbia collier}’ took placo on Janu
ary *J4th. 'i here are over ninety men
imprisoned on the lower level, and no
hope for escape Twenty bodies have
been recovered. The shaft timber*
wore destroyed so that cages could not
be used, but pulleys and ropes wore
immediately prepared for the work of
rescue.
There is a movement.on foot in dif
ferent par** of the country to colouize
the negroes in South America. Agents
of the association are at work among
the colored people and expect to have
a colony of several hundred people
ready to start for their new homes soon.
It is now time for our Republican
friends to raise the bowl that it is a
Democratic scheme to retain possession
of the national affaire!
Tub sheriffalty is already receiving
attention at the hands of the different
aspirants, or rather at the hands of
their friends. The Irondale correspon
dent of the Journal says that Mr. Eu
gene Lanhnm is the choice of Lyon
publicans for s’ c.iff, while the friends
of Mr. U. S. Davis arc as confidant
that Lyon will be able to send a dele
gation favorable to the latter gentle
man's candidacy. The friends of both
gentlemen believo in the early bird
catching the nomination, and to that
end they will put their best foot for
ward and whoop up things for their
favorite, with several precincts to hear
from. ,
A correspondent writing to the Reg
ister from Gilmer county suggests that
the next Democratic Slate convention
-•should not be 8o large as the last one
• that one delegate l>o chosen for every
two hundred votes ca*t for President
Cleveland. We think two delegate for
every one hundred votes cant for Pres
ident Cleveland would he better. If
I arker.sburg, Charleston or Hunting
ton can’t furnl-h a building largo
enough to hold the delegates thiy
should not ask for tlie convention. The
Democrats intend to nominate a strong
ticket this year and they propose to be
there at the christening of the candi
dates.
Wk don't believe in going into the cn
cn,.V* camp for recruit* and neglecting
tbe old soldier* of onr own party who
have been weighed in the balance of
party fealty and not found wanting. It
is not a good policy ft never pays.
Nine time out of ten you will lose more
than you gain. If the Democratic
party will organize their own forces and
■ c to it that every Democrat cornea out
and votes on election day we have no
fetrsof the result in this State. We
know of scores of Democratic voters in
this county who remained at home at
♦he last election for want of organiza
tion. They took it for granted their
votes were not needed- a very natural
conclusion for them to entertain, for
if their votes were needed, and there
is no questioning they were, they would
have be« n a*ked and urged by those in
charge of the campaign to come out
and vote. Democrats, let us organize
our own party and sec that every man
vote* The Republican* will sec to it
that their men are at the polls oir elec

SHEEP RAISING IN WEST VIR
GINIA.
Whetting Itegisttr.
Charleston, W. Va., January 24.
—In view of the outCij which Home
of our high tariff friends arc making
anent the President's recommendation !
that the duty on wool be lowered, here 1
an a few figures which seem to need I
explanation Probably the protection
afforded to wool growers by the tariff
may not result elsewhere as it does in :
West Virginia, but it is certain that
the number of sheep in this State which
steadily declines under the tariff of
1807 has almost as steadily increased
under the lower tariff of 1883. Hero
are the figures taken from the Auditor’s
report# for the several years named :
Whole number of sheep in West Vir
ginia—
Year. No. Year. No.
’67. 564,980 '77 . 410.151 |
’78. 569,287 ’78. 377,427
’69. 534,906’79. 424,441
’70. 475,114 ’80. 463,340
’71. 447,003’81. 520,102
'72. 403,380j’82 . 531.698
’73 . 422,734!’83. 610,211
’74. 418.118 ’84 . 680.718
’75. 10*2,605;’85. 676,860
’76. 379,928,*80 . 541,916
The apparent fulling olT in 1880 is
probably duo to tho confused and con
flicting instructions to the assessors,and
it i* not probable that there was any
actual diminution in the number of
sheep in the State that yenr.
At tho recent conference of wool
growers and wool manufacturers in
W ashington City, a compromise was
agreed upon by which ull parties con
sent to demand of Congress a return to
the tariff of 18G7. Now, is it not
fairly doduciblc from the above figures
that, if tho tarifl' upon wool has any
effect upon the number of sheep in
West Virginia, and yet. strange as it
may appear w hen wo remember the fate
of the protected sheep, the number of
horses and cattle has steadily increased.
Here are tho figures at intervals of five
years :
'N hole number of horses and mules:
\ ear. No. Year. No.
’(’>7 .. 88,982 *80. 122.202
’70. 99.869 ’85. 132,383
’75. 115,293
Whole number of cattle :
Year. No. Year. No.
,67. 241,0581 80. 308,842
’70. 255,453’85. 131,254
’75. 271,772!
The above statement of the number
i of sheep in West Virginia shows that
under the tariff of 18G7, a return to
which is now demanded, the sheep cul
ture declined with various fluctuations
reaching the lowest point in 1878. It
then begnn to rally and reached its
highest point in 1884, after the reduc
tion of the tariff in 1883 had time to
show its full effect. It would be in
teresting to know how much of the
present clamor on behalf of the wool
growers is fairly attributable to the ef
! feets of the tariff and how much of it
is the mere vaporing of politicians who
; arc trying to put new breath into the
moribund Republican party.

• BARNUM KICKS.
It was P. T. Barnum who, in 1884,
blew his protection trumpet and said if
Cleveland was elected president he
would sell his property for one-half it
was worth, or words of liko import and
meaning. He believed in Ainetican
protection with a big P. The railroads
have put up the tariff on Barnuni’s show
j and sec what he says :
‘Hitherto I have been paying 42^0
to $300 a day for transportation. Un
der the new deal it would cost me from
$2,800 to $3,000.’
‘What will you do about it?’
‘Exactly this: My agent goes to
London Wednesday. As soon there
after as possible I shall ship my whole
collection, bag and baggage, across the
water. Next season I shall show in
England where transportation wiil cost
me less than $100 a day. These rail- j
road fellows think they can rob ine. I
What they have done is to rob the Amer
ican people of the greatest show on
earth It is good-bye for tho ‘one and
only.’ ’
Exactly so. It makes Home differ
ence whose ox is being gored. Monop. !
oly has been robbing the American peo
ple. and especially the laboring ele- i
rnent, with their false cry of *we arc
in favor of protecting American labor.’
They have been protecting American
labor just as the railroads propose to
protect P. T Barnum, and Barnum
kicks. So will the sons of toil.

DAWSON VS. HISTORY.
A CORRESPONDENT WHO SEEM? TO KNOW
A THING OR TWO.
Wc have noticed the article which
appeared in the Anars, purporting to
be a history of the King wood railroad,
and also the notice of said history by
the mau who runs the Journal at King*
wood. We are rather inclined to think
that the man who wrote the history of
the railroad and its management was
striking out in a direction that might
develop some interesting facts, in con
nection with what the editor of the
Journal calls enterprise.
There was nothing untrue in the
article referred to by the Journal ; on
the contrary, we believe it embodies
nothing but fa^ts. No one seems to be
able to get a glimpse of the past record
of said road but our friend Dawson,
lienee no person but himself can give
the exact dates of its history.
We presume there are many things
embodied in writing, in print, and es
pecially in the hidden secrets of the
enterprise, that the said Dawson, for
reasons best known to himself, prefers
to have remain just where they are; so
it is, when any one dares to speak out,
he must go slow, or feel the power of
the would-bc Governor pressing hard
on his defenseless head.
One thing is certain, that every man
in King wood district is a subscriber to
the railroad, but while they arc so with
their consent, yet they never consented
to give £25,000 to no purpose. The
people of this district were told over
and over again, by Dawson and others
that “they should have stock to the
amount of their subscription.” Yes,
William, you went farther—“You vo
ters of Kingwood district shall build
the road—the money shall remain with
you.” We suppose you had not made
the acquaintance of any tramps then
yet. We would now ask for an item
ized account of the necessary I'rintjno
(?) connected with this road, so that no
one will hereafter be insinuating that
tin re is any crookedness. For the in
formation of the people of this district,
please leave nothing out, make it full
and complete. Do not put the neces
sary traveling expenses in the same bill
it you conclude to make it out too—put
it separate, please.
Oi' course we will not ask that a full
statement of the blunders and ineotnpe*
tency of the late Secretary be given.
The public are quite familiar with the
prominent part the Senator has played
in this department of the railroad work
»">till, ho thinks they are profound se
crets. Nobody could have carried this
great enterprise through (indeed, no
honest man could have don • so) except
the great brain and pocket-book of a
man who is so much superior to Goul
that the whole of the said Gould’s
overcoat would not make a resp ctabl •
patch for the unmentionable part of to
Senator's breeches. Why, bless you
dear reader, Baruuui never takes thus
long-eared animals along with his me
nagerie ; when he concludes to make
such an addition to his collection of
rare animals he will not belong in find
ing Dawson.
\Yc have never attempted to build a
railroad, nor even give advice. Our
friend would have kept an immense
amount of ignorance Connected with
hit* knowledge of building a railroad
of any kind covered up if he was in
our shoes to-day.
He never carried a chain, but it
would have been far better for King
wood district and the private subscri
ber* if the Senator and a few others had
been carrying a chain with a ball at
tached, with the usual surroundings,
for the last six years. No otic will
deny that the directors were at their
wit* ends, many times during the
struggle, for no one had a great ways
to go to get there, judging from tin*
grade of the road, the curves, the mag
nificent switch-back and cither indica
tions of grand judgment of engineer
ing ability. Now we are glad that we
have a railroad. We would have been i
glad if we could have given the Sena- j
tor any credit for the enterprise, mid !
gladder still if each subscriber and eit
iien of the district could b*ve said ■
what should be done with his money.
As matters stand, the only benefit j
they have received, was in the shape of
one square meal and a fin eup.
There exists a hope that we may have
more railroads built in our county.
They are the greatest improvements that
can penetrate any community ; but we
arc* sorry to say that we cannot recom
mend the great Senator for even a
chain carrier, if, after sii years of
travel and thought, backed by neces
sary printing and all paid out of the
hard earnings of the people, hi* genius
fails to complete ten miles of road-bed
even No recommendation of our*
or even Gould himself, would secure
him the job of sweeping out the freight I
office at the end of the K A T R K '
W'e do not wish to say anything harsh
of ei»r friend Dawson, for we under- I
stand he expects to be the next Gov
ernor of West Virginia and should he
get there we expect to ask and receive
some favors at his hands (?).
When we have a little more time,
and feel ro inclined, we intend to give
a full history of the railroad, not omit
ting to mention the exact part each took
in the enterprise, and what each re
ceived for his work and the manner in
which he received it.
For the present we rest because more
is not necessary. Jchtick.
T11K JUDGESHIP.
Editor Amur:—Can you tell me
why it is the Republican ticket-makers
propose to throw Mr. Jumos A. Brown
overboard and cheat him out of the
nomination for Judge and give it to
some one else less deserving, when
party usage has always been to give
the nomination to tho man who makes
a gallant fight against odds?
A Hkpibucan.
Our oracle tells us that Mr. Brown’s
star is in the ascendancy, and at the
proper time he will receive the ‘con
summation devoutly to be wished.’
Further than this the oracle saith not,
as he duos not train with ‘ticket-mak- ;
crs.’—Ed.
This Republicans of Washington, I), i
C., held a convention on Tuesday of
luKt n eck to select delegates to the Chi
cago convention. From all accounts
it discarded decency and respect and
went in for a riotous time. The con
vention became so boisterous and deiu- 1
dnstrative that the poliee had to be
called in io <ju< "ll them. But the war
riors had on their war paint and they
were not to be subdued. The result
was two sets of delegates were chosen
-one for Blaine and- the other for
Sherman. ‘On with the music ! let
jov be unconfincd.'
