Sketch «r the Democratic .NuiiiIiim Tor
Auditor.
The Mon. James H. Miller, who
was nominated by the Democratic
Convention for State Auditor, was
born December 29, 1856, in that
portion of Greenbrier county, Vir
ginia, which is now Summers county,
West Virginia. He is a son of the
late William Krkskine Miller, who
had been a resident of this section
of the State throughout his long ami
useful career, and who died in
February, 1900.
In his early youth Mr. Miller,
was given the advantages of the
public schools of his county and in
1877 entered the Concord Normal
School, from which he graduated
with honors in July, 1879, receiving,
in addition to other college honors,
the medal given in the oratorical
contest and for the best essayist in
the senior class.
After leaving school Mr. Miller
devoted his attention for the two
ensuing ^’ears to teaching, during
which he was made a member of the
Board of Examiners of Summers
county, and was also elected county
superihtendent of public schools, in
which position he acquitted himself
with great credit and honor, and
laid the foundation for the begin
ning of his political career in the
county, which has never met a
reverse, the county always having
given him what he desired.
In making a final choice for his
life work Mr. Miller chose the law,
and entered upon the study of the
profession under the tutelage of the
Hon. W. VV. Admas, with whom he
formed a partnership after he had
completed- the law course at the
University of Virginia.
About one year after Mr. Miller
had entered the active piactice of
law, the confidence of his country
men in his ability and integrity as a
public servant was again shown by
their electing him prosecuting
attorney of Summers county, which
office he has continuously held until
the'present. He was also a member
of the Board of Regents of the State
Normal Schools for six years, and
was captain of the Hinton Light
Infantry Uuards, which was after
wards formed into Company I),
Second West Virginia Regiment, in
which he held the position of
Lieutenant Colonel, but owing to
the pressure of business and other
duties he resigned.
In 1888 he was chosen chairman
of the Democratic Congressional
Executive Committee for the Third
West Virginia District, in which
position he developed such marked
ability as an organizer that he has
“been unanimously chosen to the
position until the present time.
It is but due to Mr. Miller to say
that in his long service as a public
servant of his county, in the
capacity of prosecuting attorney,
both friend and foe are united in
saying that he hasserved them faith
fully, diligently and impartially,
fearlessly obeying the behest* of
duty, hewing to the line, no matter
where the chips might fall.
The highest esteem in which Mr.
Miller is held, by the people of his
section of the State, regardless of
political affiliations, as a lawyer
of ability, a scholar of rare attain
ments and a gentleman of sterling
worth and stainless character, is
enjoyed by him throughout the
State, and the placing of his name
on the State ticket adds materially
to the strength of his party, and in
surcs Democratic success in the
Third Congressional District.
The navy department has issued
a circular calli jg for bids for con
structing six armored cruisers of the
first class, among which is the crui
ser West Virginia, the construction
of which h;n been so long delayed
by the armor plate controversy.
These will be the largest ship in the
navy, the tonnage running over 14,
000. The bids will be opened De

BltYAN AND LIBERTY. •
Capt. Patrick OTarrall, a life
long Republican of Washington,
has written Senator Hoar asking
for copies of his great speech
against imperialism. The Washing
ton Post quotes from his letter as
follows:
“I am an old-time Republican,
who fought during the late Civil
War for the principles of Washing
ton, Jefferson and Lincoln. 1 want
your speech for the facts therein.
1'hey show the duplicity and treach
ery of William McKinley, for whom
I spend eight weeks on the stump.
Your speech shows further that the
next election will* determine whether
we shall retain our liberty, or do as
Rome did, go into the imperial
business. I honestly believe that in
order to preserve liberty it is es
sential that the honest and manly
Republicans who still adhere to the
Declaration of Independence and
the constitution should use all their
efforts in the next campaign to de
feat McKinley and the Republican
party by supporting Wm. J. Bryan
who, <10 matter how Republicans
may differ with his free silver and
tariff theories, yet can agree with
him on the greater and paramount
question of imperialism. The ques
tion is whether we shall continue as
a republic or go into aif empire of
imperialism.
i he cry in the coming campaign
should be 'Bryan and liberty*’
against ‘McKinley and imperial
tyranny,' and I have every confi
dence that liberty will win.”
One of the jubilations of the re
publican platform is that the gold
standard is permanently fixed in this
country. The declaration is the
worst kind of blatherskiteism, else
the party from president to spittoon
cleaners is a heroic lie. Having as
serted the premanent fixture of the
gold standard the republicans turn
with one voice and seek to frighten
the people by crying out the impend
ing danger of t6 to i. Are they ly
ing when they say the gold standard
is irrevocable on the statute books,
or are they begging the truth when
they hoist the danger signal over
the Chicago platform? The incon
sistenev of the proposition makes
one of their assertions stand outside
the guard rail of truth. But when
or where di't a republican campaign
er dally with the truth when he
could find fiction to use ?—Sentinel.
Rev. Dr. Silas Swallows, former
ly Prohibition candidate for Pres
ident, says
“If wc must choose between the
candidates of the old parties, I
must say that I should support the
man’T Bryan) “who clings to prin
ciple and adheres to what he be
lieves to be right, rather than the
inaii' ( McKinley) “whom the peo
ple never know where to find on
any vital issue, who was against
the P'juor traffic at «me time and
for it now, who was for free silver
and is now for gold; who was for
free trade with Porto Rico, and
nc w for a tariff !”

THE JERICHO
POSTOFFICE.
I'«l» lYrkint, roHtiiiaxter, Tells ll«iw
thr Jerlrlio (luunls Were Organl/c«i.
I was gittin’ the mail ready to put
into the Tarrytown bag when Hill
I -aphatn comes in. Hill runs a
goose farm just out of Jericho and
has bin giftin' up in the world like
a basswood tree. I’ve known fur
the last year that he wanted to do
sunthin’ smart to git hisself talked
about and when I seen him come in
with his chin in the air I a’pected
he’d hit it.
“book here, pap,” he whispers,
though we was all alone, “I’ve struck
the biggest, broadest tallest heftiest
idea ever thought out by mortal
man, and I’m hevin’ hard work to
catch my breath. I’ll be hanged if
my head don’t swim and my knees
wobble over it.”
"Is it how to grow geese feathers
on hens ?” says I, knowin’ he’d bin
experimentin’ in that direction.
"I’d tell you, pap, quicker’n any
other man in the United States, but
I want to keep it to hit the crowd
with to-night. I want the biggest,
bustinest crowd togather here to
night that the town of Jericho has
ever seen. Give every man notice as
he drops in to day, and along about
7 o’clock I’ll hev the fire bells rung
and the horns tooted. Tell ’em it’s
a big thing, pap ; tell ’em it’s suthin’
that s bound to jump this town over
a ten rail fence and make city lots
wuth a thousand dollars apiece.”
1 here was a good deal of excite
ment around town that afternoon,
and when night came the crowd at
the postoffice was as big as the time
when war was declared ag’in
Spain. Most of ’em thought Hill
l apham was goin’ to dcclar war
ag in Mexico or Canada, and every
body was lookin’ pale when Deacon
Spooner called the me-tin’ to order
and said :
"Sons of freedom, we hev gat
hered here to-night to hear some
remarks from our esteemed feller
townsman, William Lapham, and
we kin take it that them remarks
will go beyand geese and goslin’s.
Make your p’int, Hill.”
"My P’int is this,” says Hill as
he draws a long breath and steps
out to git room. "We ar’ now in
the midst of the turmoil of a Presi
dential campaign. Somebody is goin’
to be elected. I ain’t sayin’ who it’ll
be, but the golden opportunity fur
which Jericho has sighed is at hand.
When the newly elected President
takes the oath of office, he will be
escorted to and fro.”
1 hat krect,' says De’acon
Spooner as Hill pauses fur breath.
" The speaker ain’t through yet, but
he’s made a p’int already. When
he reters to the turmoil of campaign,
its not cfnly high flown language,
but a strong p’int. Go ahead Hill.”
"That escort will not only do the
| President proud,” continued Hill,
| "but every man in it will be men
tioned by all the papers in the
l nited States. I hoy’ll speak of his
wife and children and town ami
home, and lie’ll be a big man fur the
I rest of his life. He kin be elected
sheriff without opposition, and if
anyone runs ag’in him fur the Legis
lature they II be snowed under.
| What I’m here to-night fur is to
i as^ the questions : Why not
organize the Jericho Guards. And
why shouldn’t the Jericho Guards
be that escort ?”
I here was yellin' ami whoopin’
| fur the next five minutes, but when
j the deacon could make himself
heard he said :
“It s a p'int, gentlemen--six or
seven p’ints. I’ve read all the
speeches ever delivered by Hcney
Clay or Daniel Webster, and both
of them put together never made
the p’ints our BUI I.apham has.
Bcin I hev the floor, I’ll say I favor
the idea. Yes, sir, I’m with it
heart and soul. I want my name
to go down fust fur the Jericho
Guards, ind I’m even willin' to
sacrifice myself and he captain of
the company, S’posin' wc hear from
Abner Jones on the subject."
“I s’pose it’s known in this town
that rny great grandfather was killed
at the battle of Monmouth," says
Abner, as he gets off the
counter, “though I ain’t braggin*
about it. I’ll jest say that I’m
willin’ to die fur rny country any
time I'm called upon, and if I’m
elected captain of the Jericho
Guards I’ll promise that no invader
shall set foot on these chores and
live five minits."
Thar’s a p’int in that," says the
deacon, as he looks a bit put out.
“When a man’s willin’ to die fur
I h'» country, that’s a p’int in his
favor, hut, of course, we wa/it to
hear from the other patriots. How
; is it with you, Moses Plumber ?”
“Does any man here doubt that
I'm willin’ to die fur America ?" asks
Moses, as he draws himself up.
“My great-grandfather didn’t die at
Monmouth, but the blood of them
seven uncles of mine that fell dur
in’ the civil war flows in rny veins,
and my watrhward is “I.ihcrty or
death. As the captain of the Je i
jrho Guards, you’ll find me at the
: front, and if I don't kill at least
: seven of the invaders a week you
kin bounce me out.”
“ I he seven uncles and seven in
vaders is a p’int, Moses,” says the
deacon, “and I'm proud that we
both live in the same town. Hill
J.apham seems to be oncasy, anti
1 11 ask him if he has anything more
to say.”
“In the fust place,” says Hill,
“I <1 like to know if everybody is in
favor of organizin’ the Jericho
(iuards. ”
Kverybody swung his hat and
yelled out that he was.
“In the second place, I’d like to
know if everybody wants to be cap
tain.”
Kverybody swung his hat and
yelled out that he did.
“Hut everybody can’t be,” pro
tested Hill. “I don’t want nobody
to charge me with bein’ selfish or
conceited, but I'm tcllin’ you that
this idea is mine and that I’m the
man to boss the Jericho Guards. I
believe I’m the only man in this
town who wanted to enlist to fight
the Spaniards.”
“Hill makes a p’int, and we can’t
deny it,” says Deacon Spooner, “but
when I offered to lead them guards
to victory or death, I felt that I was
the man to do it. I don’t want to
crowd Hill I.apham out of place,
but”—
“Neither do we !” yells 40 men.
“But he must see”—
“Of course he must !”
Then thar was yellin' and shoutin’
and a great uproar, and Bill Lap
ham said it was a doggoned crowd,
and he could lick any two of ’em
rolled together. Deacon Spooner
hammered on the stovepipe with his
cane till he could be heard, and
then said :
“It appears as if we all want to
lead the Jericho Guards and die fur
our country, and it further appears
as if this meeting was gittin’ mad
about sunthin’. I notice Lish Bill
ings over by the ’lasses bar’ls. Lish,
what do you think about things ?
Do you want to be captain, same
as the rest ?”
“Noap,” replies Lish, in his keer
less way.
“Ain’t you willin’ to die fur your
country ?”
“Not by a jugful, out if I was,
thar wouldn't be any Jericho Guards
to die with. You’ve all bin wastin’
your breath.”
“How’s that?”
“ I bar’s jest 96 men in this town,”
continues ’Lish, “and when the war
was goin’ on an’ there was talk that
it might come to a draft the hull
crowd of us went to the doctors to
be examined. We had consumption
and rheumatism and heart trouble.
We was deaf and nigh sighted ami
toothless. Thar wasn’t one blessed
critter in the hull 96 who was tit to
jump over a tow string or chaw pea
nuts, and I kinder reckon we’d bet
ter git suthin’ soft to eat fur break- !
last and carry each other home.”
Book oT iIn* Itoyal Blue for July.
—
The July number of the Book of !
the Royal Blue which is published
regularly every month by the Haiti- '
more & Ohio R.R , is especially in- !
teresting. It has been the custom
to devote the July number every
year to stories of the Civil War,
and the present number contains a
graphic description of the battle of !
Antietam, illustrated by photographs
taken shortly after the battle, as
well as photos of more recent date. j
Particularly remarkable is the pho- !
tograph, used as a frontispiece of '
President Lincoln interviewing Gen- I
eral McClellan at Antietam, in Oct.,
1862, and the Burnside Bridge,
showing an army train crossing
over it. These photograph: were
loaned and published by permis
sion of the War Department. An
accurate description is given of the
position of the Union forces in the
battle, in accordance with reports
of General McClellan, while the
graphic description of the closing
scene at Burnside Bridge is quoted
from a war correspondent who was
present at the time. An official map
published by the Goverment enables
the reader to follow the battle close
•y
The movement of troops to and
from the battle of Antietam greatly
affected the lines of the Baltimore
8; Ohio R. R., which were then con- '
stantly in a state of demoralization
from the continued fighting in its
territory.
I he number also contains an in
teresting war romance of Virginia, i
cntitl d "A Womanly Woman;” a
poem by Dr. Thos. C’alver, of Wash
ington on "The March of the Gal
lant 6th Corps,” and another poem
by the same author, entitled "Too •
Soon They Die.”
It is surprising how great minds
differ. While a lot of one horse Re
publican papers are denotin' ing the
Goebel election law for unfair
provisions and other defects that do
not appear in the text of the law, !
the Philadelphia Ledger, one of
1 the ablest and most reliable Repub
| lican newspapers in the country
I charges that * Pennsyl/aina !.;• the
i most notoriously unfair and dishon
est election laws of any State in
the Union. But, as the Republican
party derives all the benefits from
the dishonest practices of the elec
tion law in Pennsylvania, the aver
age Republican paper has no con
demnation of it. — Berkeley Drrno

TIIE SIOI’X INDIAN WILL VOTE.
I he Sioux Indians of South Da
kota, who have hitherto been wards
of the government, will be a factor
in the presidential campaign this
year.
Capt. I*‘. II. Allison, who has liv
ed among them nearly all his life,
and is familiar with their notions
and peculiarities, will give, them in
struction in their civic duties. Con
cerning his proposed work, Capt Al
Ibon says: — “Their notions of what
constitutes citizenship, and the re
sponsibilities arising therefrom, arc
very crude. Large numbers of them
know nothing whatever about the
significance of casting a ballot.
l hey do not understand that a ballot
represents an opinoin. It is my
purpose to go out on all the reser
vations west of the Missouri and
hold meetings wherever a dozen or
more Indians ran be gathered to
gether. This work will take three
or four months. I shall give them
elementary lessons in civic duties
and shall try to show them what it
means for them to be citzens of the
United States.”
Two years ago the intelligent,
cultured woman of South Dakota
asked for the ballot that they might
participate in the presidential cam
paign of 1900. They had studied
Civil Government in their school
days, and had for years been study
ing Political Economy and Soci
ology in their Suffrage Organizations
and Woman’s Clubs; but the voters
of South Dakota said: “Nay, you
shall not share the blessings of lib
erty with us.”
Now the Sioux Indians arc to be
given three months’ instruction,
and their votes will help to decide
the policy of the government under
which those intelligent woman must
live. Oh Consistency! Oh Justice!
Laura A. Greco,
A SHORT STORY IN FIHLREs.
New \ ork World : The ordinary
annual expenditures of the govern
ment averaged in President Harri
son’s term $361,291,323.
1'hey averaged in President Cleve
land’s second term $360,418,546
I hey have averaged in President
McKinley’s term $514,480,254,
The cost of running the Govern
ment is thus seen to have been in
creased by nearly $154,000,000 a
year ever since Mr McKinley was
inaugurated. And this is not ac
counted for by the extraordinary
disbursement of the war, which arc
not included in these “ordinary ex
penditures. ”
I he outlay for the war is a sepa
rate matter, and it accounts for the
increase of the public debt by $200,
000,000 since the McKinley anaug
uration.
The financial record of the Ad
ministration may therefore be sum j
in»*d up in a sentence. It has added
nearly 313,000,000 a month to the
regular running expenses of the
Government and added $1.79 per
capital to the nation burden of
debt.
