PuMiKlted Baralagjj hj W. TIPPETt, Editor. A YEAR, ADVANCE. POIHT PLEA8AHT, WEST YIRGIiTIA A brewer "who was famous for his lioncat beer" has just died in New York. Ho should have a monument.

Tho Linseed Oil Trust expects to pay 4 per cent, on $16,000,000. fit view of that diluted capitalization tho theory 'that oil and 'water will not mix is somewhat impaired. The man or of men who insist and contend that tariff is not a tax, and that this (ax is not paid by consumers of articles upon which tariff is laid, are very ignorant, or knowingly tries to deceive the people. The death of Mrs. Tyler leaves five surviving mistresses of the White House, namely: Mrs.

Polk, Mrs. Henry Elliott Johnston (Harriet Lane), Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Garfield aud Mrs. Cleveland.

A subscriber wants to know what a commercial "trust" is. It is a lot of men who get together to take care of your property for you, and to prevent you from wasting it or get-. tiug it back. Happy, indeed, are the people whom trusts and monopolies, the offsprings of that glorious protection that our neighbor prates so much about, hold by the throats and squeeze their life blood out. The great wave of "prosperity" continues to roll over the land.

It has now struck the big iron foundries of Albany, where the men have declined to swallow a ten per cent, reduction imposed by the protected barons. The price of sugar lias gone up between 30 and 40 per cent. The trust men are in need of funds to pay for their summer trip to Europe, and so levy on every poor man in the country. All right. If the people will stand it there is nothing to be said.

Johnstown has been a fateful name in this country in the last year, and people are beginning to believe that thero is indeed something in a name. Another distressing flood has occurred in Johnstown, New York, by which ten persons have lost their lives, and there has been frightful destruction to property. The Pennsylvania coke workers bave informed their bosses that they want a wage conference, and if they get it will strike August 1. The coke workers have probably discovered that as they can't make soup out of the "Protection to American labor" transparencies and banners used in the last campaign, they must have living wages or starve. It was to be supposed that a cry of shortage in the wheat crop would raised about this time.

Holders of old wheat and speculators are interested in keeping tho new harvest or.t of market as long as Hence tho startling reports from the Northwest. The crop of Minnesota and Dakota is not yet threshed and the estimates are of the wildest and uiost misleading charaetcr. To tell the locked out mill men and miners in Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois, who are destitute and their wives and children on the verge of starvation, that they are "under the broad shield of American law," may gratify their national pride along about these patriotic times, but it does not clothe the naked or satisfy the cravings of an empty stomach. The Joilet rolling mills subscribed 825,000 to Mr. Quay's campaign fund year.

Recently the Com- pany made a 12 per cent, reduction I in the wages of its employes, by which they will recoup $15,000 of that sum. So tho fellows who are getting "practically the sole benefit of the tariff laws," to quote Mr. Foster, are very generally making the workmen pay their campaign contributions. A trial trip of the gnnboat Petrel, while not a complete success, was sufficient to show that she is a thoroughly staunch and powerful cruiser. Indeed, the slight accident to her machinery will probably lead to a careful examination of all weak points and tend to make tho engines strong in every part before the final test is taken.

This sprightly ship, with tho cruiser Baltimore, makes the addition of two creditable war vessels to oar growing navy. The reappearance of Jack the Kipper in Whilechapel is a sorry comment upon the efficiency of the detective force in Slot la rid Indeed, recent occurrences in Chicago, London and olsewhere are dashing public confidence in the secret and shnrp-cycd gentry who are supposed to Know all tho manifold and crooked ways of crime and its votaries.

VF. Juno Not in Johnstown ulonc do llioy bnt realise tlio torrible and unmerciful power of the seething and roaring waters. Since tpeople from all of Jacks mi and oven frotu several of counties may be seen gat he ret! together with eager ears, and anxious eyo discussing the horrible and heartrending scenes of only a few hours before in our immediate vicinity. No person can form any idea of the horrible condition of the flooded district, until they have once seen it, nor can they realize that once so small a stream could raise until it was a mighty river, roaring and sweeping everything before it. What was once a beautiful valley is now almost as barren and deserted as it wasonce beautiful; orchards and dwellings, buildings of all kinds torn from their root3 and foundations ais though they wcro but chicken coops, before a mighty river.

THK FLOODED DISTRICT comprises Pond creek, a small stroain emptying into the Ohio, eight miles above here, from its mouth to its source in connection with all its small tributaries. The rain came in such torrents that oven the levol places where no streams are visible, in fact the whole country looked like one vast wave of roaring water, spreading death and destruction wherever it touched. Several orders have already been sent in to Raven wood lor coffins, whilst there are several bodies yet to find. DOWN IN A WATERY URAVE. Small runs with but a few feet of water in thou!" rose to good sized crecks with frotfi 25 to 35 feet of water.

Boso, a one-armed man was drowned, the boiler of the mill being carriod a quarter of a mile down Black and wife, a newly tnarriod couple living on Nesselrod creek, were drowned, they being unable to cscape the wild Mr. Black's body was found two miles below, partly covered with sand, while Mrs. Black's body is still missing, and where their house once stood there is now not a sign of a house. A wnoI.E FAMILY LOST.

Thomas Hughes, wife and four children, of Lockhart's P. attempted to leave their homo, -but before they could reach high ground the waters overtook thein, Mr. Hughes saving himself by clinging to a tree, the wife and children being drowned. Dwelling houses, country stores, barns and fences were carried away and piled up, a great many farmers losing all their crops and only saving their lives by fleeing to the high lands. Some of the largest losers are Brown Casto, Sanuyville, general store and tobacco house, Albert Lockbart, store and store-house, 8G00; George store-house and store, Smith's saw-mill, George Romine, store, G.

Boso, store, C. and timber, G. Crooks, one thousand logs. Up lii the Parkk.usbug, July damage to property by tlie great flood can only he estimated. It is safe to say it will run up into the millions.

The individual losses are very heavy. Following are some of them: Mr. P. Ilathbone was at Burning Springs yesterday and crossed over i from there to Petroleum. On lispio creolc, a branch of Hughes river, a Methodist preacher named Rev.

Mr. McLean, had his dwelling house, horse and buggy swopt away and the horse drowned. He lost ho had. Pour wagon loads of staves belonging to Rcitz of Petroleum, were carried away. Mr.

Horrible Demiix. Pakkersburo, July report? from the floods in Jackson, Wood, Wirt ami adjoining counties show it to have been the most disastrous calamity that ever occurred in this part of West Virginia. The loss of life and property is appalling, and it. is feared that only a part of the Ureadfui truth is known. Olio of the streams, which did the most damage, was Tucker creek, in Wirt county.

EIGHT PERSONS LOSE TIIEIII LIVES. The creek was swollen by the rains to au unprecedented height. It is said to have come out like a river. In addition the destruction of property along its banks ciixen people wore drowned. As teleptiiHio communication can not be had with any point farthor up the Kanawha than Leach town it is impossible to obtain details of disaster, but it is reported from Leachtown by telephone among the parties drowned were Orvillo West, wife and child and a Mr.

The washout near Kanawha Station was at tho big culvert as first reported, but west of it, whero a small stream coinos off tho hill. The ballast was washed out from under the track for about twenty leet and live or six feet deop. Engine 451, which ran off at the washout, was gotten back on track early yesterday monrning by General Foreman Hayden and party. Several bridges between Kanawha and Petroleum being out of lino delayed passenger trains urttil last night. Brakcman Frank Brown, who was on the engine when sho went off, had a close call, being caught between the engine and tender, but when the engine settled down he was dropped into the water up to his waist and escaped with several burns, bruises and cuts about the hands and his back wounded.

Lock No. 1 is so badly damaged that there will probably be no more navigation on the Little Kanawha this summer. About seventy feet of the wall is gone and one of the gates also. J. V.

The Huntington Cohimrrrbil comments on the trade situation in that town as follows: imiHt-nckiiOwIedge that business in this community is got lively, but it is owing to a scare that was created here iu the spring by a false rumor sot afloat to the effect that the divisions of the railroads centering hero were to be changed to other points and the railroad shops removed elsewhere.

In the face of a threatened stoppage of this industry, the citizens must, foel keenly the loss of the railroad into the rich mineral regions of Uoonc aud Logan counties to which Cabell county refused to vote a subscription.

The completion of the West Virginia Central railroad extension into Randolph county is another stop in West Virginia's phonomoncl business progress. The Mountain State is developing its resources. More miles of railroad are being built now, and will bo built during the present yoar, than in any preceding twelve months in its history. West Virginia has become a progressive State. It is a growing State, and a Democratic State.

More than this, it is improved and enriched by Democratic capital. The leading stockholders of the West Virginia Central railroad is a distinguished Democrat.
