ltn*iii. -.s An Exhibition by the Pupils.
Special to the Register.
Romney. W. Va., June 12.—The
Board of Regents of the schools for
the deaf and blind was in session here
to-day, and after transacting the or
dinary business of a routine nature,
they adjourned, re-electing all t-h-e offi
cers and teachers. Nothing of unusual
interest occurr d. and the Institution
was pronounced to be in excellent con
dition.
The annual concert in honor of the
Board was given in the evening, con
sisting of el-ganc selections in music
by Prof. .McGee's fine orchestra and
choir, interspersed with very attractive
recitations in signs by the deaf pupils.
The largest and most appreciative au
dience tha: ever assembled here for
such a purpose was present and gave
the closes: attention to tftie perform
ances. The Board expressed them
selves highly satisfied with the profic
iency shown by -the pupils. Dr. Me
riting. of Greenbrier county, and Mr.
Brool:tinier, of Wheeling, were the only '
members not present.
Notably among :he audience were two |
former pupils of the blind department i
of the school, both cf whom are now
actively at work, making independent
livings, the one. Mr. Michael Burke, of
Rodamer.s. Preston county, running a '
little retail store of' general merchan
dise and enjoying a good trade, the
oth r. Mr. Maneth Humphrey, of Grant
county, teaching music, selling and
tuning instruments and the like. It is
an inspiration to all our pupils to see
these worthy young men coming hack
to see their old home and encourage by
their presence those who are still in
school and renewing old acquaintances.
The pupils of Mr. Johnson's class that
ar- now usefully at work may now be
counted by the dozen. A proud testi
monial.

If it require-, an annual outlay of
flOfl.fto to insure a family against any
serious consequeno- s from an attack i
of bowel complaint during the year
there are many who would feel it their
duty to pay it: that they could not af
ford to risk their li\cs, and those of
their family for such an amount. Any
one can get this insurance for 25 cents,
hat being the. price of a bottle of Cham
b rlaiu's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea
Rem dy. In almost every neighbor
hood seme one has died from an at
tack of bowel complaint before medi
cine could be produced or a physician
summoned. One or two doses of this
reraidy will cure any ordinary case. It
never fails. Can you afford to take the
ri>k for so small an amount? For

A I'ull.UWT Yt)l’NG MAN.
Hon. Isaac C. Ralphsnyder. of Pres
ton county, is a candidate for Governor,
with headquarters at Fairmont. Mr.
Ralphsnyder is a brilliant young man
with plenty of push and energy. He
is an avowed champion of silver and
believes in the immediate coinage of
the same on the same terms on which,
gold is coined and at the long tried ra
tio of 16 to 1. He has no hesite*’on In
avowing his position and
the consequences of such avowal. Bc
lieveing that course to be right, he lias
the courage to stand by his convictions.
So far. he is the only candidate in the
field who has boldly taken a stand in
favor of the people. Others may yet
come out in favor of silver, but until
they do so Mr. Ralphsnyder deserves
the support of every silver man in the
S ate. The position of the Tribune on
this important question is too well
known to need restating. It will only
support men who stand for the people
in this fight. In this step it will
neither offer or accept any apologies
for its efforts. The man who is not
for us is against us. The man who hes
iiat s to express iiis views cn a mat
ter of such prime importance, or who
equivocates, and burdens his expres
sions with conditions which rob them
of any real meaning is not for us. He
is either against silver coinage or laek
fng any views on the question, attempts
to hide his impotence and lack of fit
ness for any trust. Silver men have no
compromise to offer, and will accept
none.Let us adopt the motto: " Thosa
who are not for are against us.”—

ONE DEFECT.

All the accounts agree that William Mc

His eye is bright, his skin clear and his
step elastic, but his voice is not quite so
responsive and penetrating as it might be.
WILL FAIL AGAIN.

The Oregon Republicans made a hid
against both the Democratic silverites and
the Populists, but failed carry the State.
If they make o\dmllar bid at St. Louis it

ROOM FOR MORE.

There are only forty-one Vice Presiden

for a few more, and as a means of getting
a start on the ladder of fame at cheap
rates the scheme is unequaled.
FOR TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN.
Milwaukee Journal.
A report comes from Washington that
S nator Hill is a candidate for temporary
chairman of the Chicago convention. Tie
would a* least make a presiding officer that
would give the silverites no more comfort
than was absolutely necessary.
PERTINENT INQUIRIES.
Hartford Courant.
Senator AM rich professes confidence that
the St. Louis convention “will tolerate no
great lapse from the financial standard of
honesty.” Senator-elect Foraker says the
platform will be “reasonably” explicit.
Why any lapse at all? Why rot perfect
explicitness?
SAWING WOOD.
Kansas City Times.
(McKinley is still vigorously sawing wood
and the rest of the Republican party is be

TROUBLE JUST BEGINNING.

The R publicans are Just beginning to

A THOUGHT.

Consul-General Lee prepared the first
mint julep that Mr. Cleveland ever drank,
and if he can persuade <hc blood-thirsty

JERRY SIMPSON TO BE SHELVED,
Kansas City Star.
Populist politicians of the “big Seventh”
district of Kansas are conspiring to shelve
Jerry Simpson, and to that end they break
into th newspapers with interviews telling
why he would not he a strong candidate
for Congress. This is another manifesta
tion of the weakness of the Populist party
—the jealousy of its leaders. It is the Pop
ulist way to pull down men of their own
faith who get in front and they are trying
to destroy Simpson, who is head and shoul
ders above any other Populist in the dis
trict.

The greatest Impetus given to Ihe free

given to it by the hesitation and cowardice
of McKinley nnd his friends.
Ti.i«S* jfc-grave peril to the country, and
no one can to-day measure the peril it pre
sents to McKinley himself. If the S't. Louis
convention shall temporize on the subject
of honest money by failing to declare dis
tinctly in favor of the gold standard of
value, it must Ik* accepted as a public con
fossiin that the free silver craze is too for
midable for it to confront, and thus new
inspiration will be given to the cheap
money cause and its power increased to
fearful proportions. Indeed, with such
cowardice on the part of McKinley and the
St. Louis convention, tile defeat of McKin
