Put Democrats on guard The Democrats are getting together on the tariff bill in the Senate. There's more rag-tag and bob-tail than anything else to Coxev's army. The trusts and monopolies haven't much to fear from the United States Senate. Thf. people are tired of the Senate's they are tired of the Senate itself.

Next thing we hear from Washington will be that the members of Coxey's army have applied for pensions. The people are speaking their sentiments on the delay in passing the taritf even the dull ears of Senators are hearing. Senator Teller of Colorado says he will not assist the Republicans in any dilatory tactics to delay the taritf hill. Good for Teller. The West Virginia Editorial Association meets next Tuesday at Wheeling.

Every newspaper in the State ought to be represented. More than one-fourth ofCleveland's term gone and still about nineteentwentieths of the office-holders are Republicans. Turn 'em out! There is some talk of resorting to closure in order to b-ing the tariff bill to a vote in the Senate. Better have 1 1 .1 closure man muenniie ueiav. Senator Hill is a living illustration of the fact that the man who boasts too much of his party devotion is apt to be more or less tainted.

"Senatorial courtesy" is Sena, torial humbug. To extend Senatorial courtesy to certain members of that body is casting pearls before swine. As is their usual habit at this point in the campaign, the Republicans are very busy carrying West Virginia. They'll not be so sanguine by next fall. Senator Quay, who begun that interesting speech of his a couple of weeks ago, has not finished yet.

He's not much for quality but great for quantity. Breckinridge is making an active canvas for re-election to Congress. If he hasn't decency enough to keep quiet he ought to be drummed out of Kentucky. It is hard to tell who deserves the inAof poiiBiiro tVip Rpmihlipfln who obstruct the tariff bill by dilatory tactics or the Democrats who, having a majority, allow such proceedings. It is said that Col.

Wm. M. Clements, of Summit Point, will be a candidate for the Legislature from Jefferson county. Col. Clements is a sturdy, level-headed, practical business man, and if he runs he will probably get there.

Secretary Lamont says he will shortly discharge three hundred clerks from the "War Department in the interest of economy and reform. He ought to discharge about three hundred more in the interest of the Democratic party. Have yon noticed that the Shepherdstown Register is not doing a great deal of gaasing lately? He must have taken a drop on Free Lance. What's the matter with you Got on a drop too much? Berkeley county trots out another Democratic candidate for district delegate to the Legislature, young Jesse Brillhart. It is noticeable, however, tiiat Berkeley county jjemocrais are not falling over themselves in their effort8to obtain the county nomination.

The West Virginia coal miners displayed a great deal of good sense by keeping out of the big strike. The demand for coal will keep them busy and the product of the West Virginia mines will find new markets in every direction, many of which, of course, will be permanent. The Pwepublicans cannot get anybody to consent to run against Hon. Wm. L.

Wilson for Congress in the second counting, of course, the small fry. Elkins and Mason will not hear to it, though both have been urged strongly. Geo. C. Sturgias may possibly consent to be led to the slaughter.

The Republicans are pretty good at carrying local elections, but when it comes to those offices worth bothering about, the Democracy is right there. On Tuesday Paul J. Sorg, Democrat, was elected by 3,000 plurality in the third district of Ohio. Last fall McKinley carried the district by 600. The following item, taken from the Greenwich (Conn.) Graphic, is about as refreshing a bit of historical accuracy as even New England has ever produced Twenty-nine years ago last Saturday occurred the of President Lincoln by Cbarles Uutleau.

The perpetration of the deed and the last words of the assassin after having committed the crime, tie temper tprannit, are still freah In the memory of every American citizen. A FEW SUGGESTIONS. The forest and mineral wealth of our State is so vast, its capacity for development so tempting and so certain, that West Virginia bids fair to become one of the richest commonwealths of the Union. Natural resources, however, are not all that is necessary to make a rich and great State. In order that they may be turned to account, it is essential to have a wise and just course of legisla- tion, and a State government honestly and capably administered in all its 1 1 a it I departments; anil tnese uepenu soieiy upon the spirit, intelligence and patriotism of the people of the State.

Taxation, for example, should he just and uniform and the burden of it should he as light as possible. The laws governing great agents of modern progress which so easily become powerful engines of those regulating busi iness transactions in general, should he such as to prevent all fraud and dishonesty and afford the utmost security to investors. The courts should dispense justice with certainty and expedition; and all public affairs should be administered by agents, and according to system, which will inspire respect and confidence. All these are essential to a full development of material resources, and even more so to the prosperity and happiness of the people. Jefferson county has neither coal nor oil, neither iron nor lumber; and as an agricultural county she has already reached such a stage of cultivation that we can scarcely expect any great increase in her contribution to the material wealth of the State.

But the other elements of jiower and progress she possesses in the highest degree. Her people are distinguished for intelligence and thought fulness. For generations they have taken a keen interest in public affairs; and they have furnished leaders, not only for this, but for other States the person of our present distinguished the whole nation. While they are conservative in action and orthodox in principle, they are yet thoroughly in accord with the aims and methods of modern progress, material and political. And above all they are animated by a lofty spirit of patriotism and of disdain for narrow and sordid self-seeking.

With such a population, who can deny to Jetferson a place in the front rank among the counties of the State, in spite of her lack of mines and oil-wells and forests? But if these advantages entitle us to a prominent place in the progress of our State to wealth and power, they impose upon us a serious responsibility and we must assume the performance of important duties in shaping those policies which shall bring West Virginia to that place among her sister States which a bountiful nature has so eminently fitted her to occupy. Our object herein is merely to suggest some ideas which have a very practical bearing upon the approaching campaign, and which we leave to our readers to elaborate for themselves. And we earnestly urge them to consider carefully these suggestions in determining what should be the character and qualifications of the men whom we shall choose to represent us in the next Legislature. Free Wool Is a Benefit. The advocates of a duty 011 wool were somewhat hopeful of accomplishing something in that direction as long a as tiie uemocrauc senators were noi united in support of the tariff bill, but their hopes have been much dampened by the compromise which has been virtually arranged by the Democrats.

Senator Voorhees has written a letter on the free-wool question to a Chicago friend, in which he says: is my understanding that very few carpet wools are produced in this country, and that they aggregate about three-fourths of all the wools imported. If this be true, then as to carpet wools there could be no disadvantage and must be a certain advantage to carpet manufacturers of the country and the consumers of their goods in free wool. am further advised that the largest proportion of fine wools imported to this country are wools which cannot be produced here owing to climatic conditions, and that they are essential to the manufacturer in the production of fine fabrics. If this be true, they should also be admitted free of duty. This would leave but a small proportion of imported wools which compete at the present time with domestic wools.

"It is also manifest to me that the failure of our wool-growers to realize a profit on wool is almost entirely due to overproduction both in this country and in other wool producing countries of the world. I have no doubt that in the year following the passage of a free-wool tariff bill the price of domestic wool would advance unless the great overproduction in various other countries should continue to increase. It is manitestly absurd to suppose that the 11 cents duty 011 wool has at any time for many years past been of service to the grower, and the prices which have ruled within the last year prove my assertion." A Dairyman's Opinion. There is nothing I have ever used for muscular rheumatism that gives me as much relief as Chamberlain's Pain Halm does. 1 have been using it for about two bottles in occasion required, aud always keep a bottle of it in my home.

General Coxey and his army of the Commonweal of Christ are now in Washington City. They arrived there 1 last Sunday. When he started from Massilon, Ohio, on Easter Sunday, with about 75 men, he predicted that he would march into Washington with an army of 500,000. A count of the camp last Sunday showed the presence of just 33G men, seventeen horses and two dogs. The men were tired and travel-stained and dispirited, but Coxey and Browne, the leaders, were smiling and hopeful.

On Monday Coxey devoted his time to interviewing the officials of Washington City. Permission was given him to march through the streets, but he was warned that his army would not be allowed to enter the Capitol grounds, nor could he make his speech from the steps of the Capitol. He said he would stand on his rights as an American citizen and make his speech as lie had announced. Tuesday morning the annv was astir early on Brightwood Heights, in the suburbs of Washington, making preparations for the grand entry and march through the city. There was an early breakfast of eggs, coffee and bread tents were struck and packed into wagons, and the whole army was aligned before nine o'clock.

All the men carried staves on which fluttered white flags, with the motto, "Peace on Earth, Good Will toward Men but Death to Interest on There was much marching on the grounds, prancing of stallions and hauling of the commissary wagons into line. The men had passed a cold night, most of them sleeping on the ground. Before the start Carl Browne formed the men into a hollow square and put them through a most remarkable drill. The staves were handled like guns, and when Browne shouted "Gloria and Peace" they cheered three times shrilly and waved their sticks in the air. These evolutions were performed by the main body of the army.

At 10.15 o'clock the army was ready and out of the Brightwood Driving Park it started for town. As the caravan wound its way down through the mile stretch of woods to the city it was the most fantastic array ever conceived in a dream. Nine mounted policemen rode ahead, clearing the way. Then came Carl Browne in his buckskin suit, mounted on his biir L'rav Percheron stallion, and wav ing a small tlag. Next was a creamy white, prancing circus steed, bearing the feature of the whole parade, Miss Mamie Coxey in the role of tlie "Goddess of Peace." She is slender, really handsome girl of seventeen years, with long, golden hair drifting down her back.

She wore a pure white riding habit, which streamed after her as the tall horse on which she had been perched pranced to the music of the band. Iler head was covered by a little rimless blue cap, and she shaded her face with a tiny parasol. The "Goddess of Peace" was followed by Oklahoma Sam, the cowboy, on another big stallion. Then came Pioy Kirk and three other marshals. Thatcher, the bugler, rode next, emitting frequent blasts from his cornet and followed by a big flapping American llag, carried by a stalwart wealer.

Next, the commonweal army band of six pieces, mostly bass drum and cymbals, pounding determinedly in an attempt at "Marching Through Georgia." The banner with a portrait of Carl Browne as Christ with the legend: "He Is Piisen, but Death to Interest On Bonds," was borne after. Then came a light buggy decorated with flags, drawn bv two black horses, in which sat General Coxey himself, beside Mrs. Coxey, a rather handsome young woman in a tan-colored tailor made gown, shading with a parasol the white-robed infant "Legal Tender" Coxey, aged two years. Then, marching two by two, came the six regular communes of the army. Before each commune was a commissary wagon, drawn by two percherons, the wagon daubed on its white canvas cover with weird allegorical illustrations of Banks." Small flags fluttered in the hands of the marshals, who galloped alongside; the men bore their white peace flags and symbolical financial banners, fearfully and wonderfully made, sprinkled along at intervals.

There was little of actual interest in the walk up Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol grounds. Ilere the procession was deflected and moved up to the top of the hill, where a broad expanse of avenue sweeps toward the east front of the Capitol. This was Coxey's goal and there was every preparation to turn into the avenue. But as the opening was reached a solid front of mounted policemen was seen. They stretched from curb to curb, making ingress toward the Capitol impossible.

The squad of police ahead of Mr. Coxey's carriage went straight ahead. It was a rush to carry the procession past the Capitol. Mr. Coxey and his people showed "their chagrin, but followed out street.

Hurried signals were passed from Mr. Coxey to Marshall Browne. It was clear they would not be thus led willingly away. Half a block away Marshal Browne halted his column and dismounted. He turned over his horse to an attendant.

Then he went to Mr. Coxey's carriage and spoke to the General. Mr. Coxey turned to get out, but his wife tried tu restrain him. lie paused and kissed ner.

men ne sprang ironi his carriage and made his way back toward the entrance to the Capitol. A howling mob was on his heels as the flank movement was appreciated. Marshal Browne followed, bearing his banner. The rank and file of the army stood in the street. The squad of police suddenly discovered that Mr.

Coxey had turned back. Quickly the officers spurred through the crowd toward Mr. Coxey and Marshal Browne. The two had found street impassable. Mr.

Coxey sprang to the heavy stone coping which surrounds the foliage of the east front of the Capitol grounds, and with a bound was inside the fence and lost amid the tangled shrubbery. Marshal Browne followed. The mob shouted at their disappearance. The police were not to be daunted -taitflfttefcfimTiiW mi 11' "rt'i by this escape to the shrubbery. The mounted orficers followed.

Small trees, bushes and flower-beds went down before the sweep of the horsemen and the yelling crowd which fol! lowed. Mr. Coxey and Marshal Browne dodged through the bushes to the open area at the east front. Here a blue-coated mass awaited the 011comers. There was a crash as the I fugitives, officers and mob of thestreet met the wall of officers and people in the opening.

The onslaught was so sudden that the officers broke for a moment. People surged and shouted. Mr. Coxey and Browne were lost for the moment. The policemen stemmed the rush after a minute.

In the intense excitement of the rush Coxey had slipped unobserved through the struggling mass, and before anyone knew it was bounding up the east front entrance to the Capitol, lie was up to the tenth step before he was recognized. Then the officers closed in about him and his further passage 1 i A was Darren, me gieui, recognized him and a shout went up from every corner of the vast assemblage. Mr. Coxey turned to the crowd and raised his hat. He was deathly pale.

Captain Garden, of the Capitol police, stepped to one side of him and Lieutenant Kelly, of the city police, was at his other arm. The other officers formed solidly about him. The crowd below was kept back bv menacing clubs. "What do you want to do here?" asked Captain Garden. "I wish to make an address," responded Mr.

Coxey, his voice showing intense emotion. "But you cannot do that," said Captain Garden quietly, but firmly. "Then can I read a protest?" asked Mr. Coxey. There was a moment's hesitation.

He drew from his pocket a type-written manuscript and began to unfold it. There was a movement among the officers. Captain Garden quietly took Mr. Coxey by the left arm and Lieutenant Kelly took him by the right. They moved down the steps, the solid rank of officers following.

Mr. Coxey was thus impelled downward and forward. He was not pulled or put under arrest, but firmly pushed away. Coxey was escorted from the Capitol grounds, and lie climbed into his buggy. Marshals Carl Browne and Christopher Columbus Jones were the only persons arrested.

They were taken in charge by policemen disorderly conduct and carried to a po lice station. A great crowd of persona were at the Capitol, composed largely of colored people. The army was allowed to go into camp on a vacant lot in the southeastern part of the city, where they now are. Taken all in all, the climax of the long march of the 'wealers was unimportant. One-half the policemen stationed about, the C'upitol would have been sufficient to control the starved and helpless followers.

As they stood in line gazing stupidly about them as the police took charge of their leaders, they were to all appearances without a hope or interest in the world. They did not care what became of Mr. Coxey and were less interested in the fate of Carl Browne. A single policeman riding along the line kept them in order, and when they were finally told they could return to their camping ground they marched awav with apparent satisfaction. Another Great Fire at Winchester.

The town of Winchester, was visited by another destructive fire last Sunday morning. It was undoubtedly of incendiary origin, and coming only a month after the big conflagration at Funk Ray's place lias created great excitement in the town. The fire was discovered about half-past four o'clock Sunday morning in the furniture ware-rooms of John Vilwig Sons, near the centre of the business part of the city. The flames spread rapidly, and though the firemen responded quickly and worked efficiently eight business houses were entirely burned out before the fire was stopped. The losses are as follows: John Vilwig Sons, furniture dealers i i i aim unaena iters, uuuuiug nuu biwh about insurance $10,000.

Horsey Atwell, clothing and furnishing goods, occupied the lower floor of the Vilwig building; most of their stock removed, but greatly damaged value of stock, insurance $4,000. Solenberger Stoufler, stoves and hardware, loss about insurance $6,400. Lewis clothing, dry goods and notions, most of the stock saved, but damaged loss $400; fully insured. The building occupied by the last two firms was owned by Charles A. Heller; loss insurance $3,000.

The building on the south side of Vilwig's and adjoining, and owned by II. Evans (whose losses are about $10,000, insurance about $6,000.) was occupied by the Adams Express Company and Messrs. C. W. Hensell Son.

C. Hensell Son's loss is about $10,000, insurance part of the stock saved, but greatly damaged. William H. Hardy, harness, saddles, loss from $6,000 to $8,000, insurance on building and stock part of the stock saved, but damaged. The Taylor Hotel was scorched, but was saved by the firemen.

Mr. Charles B. Rouss, whose generosity to Winchester is so great, was wired of the occurrence, and he immediately sent a telegraphic response, saying: "Otfer $1,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the incendiaries." Mayor Lupton immediately had handbills printed offering the reward and posted through the town. The citizens are aroused and will leave nothing undone to bring the guilty parties to justice. Man's Inhumanity to Himsetf.

The most inhuman outrages, outrages which would disgrace the savage, man perpetrates upon his own by swallowing drastic purgatives which convulse his stomach, agonize his lutestlnes and weaken his system. Many people constantly do this I under the Impression that medicaments only which are violent In their action, and I particularly cathartics, are of any avail. Irreparable Injury to health is wrought der this mistaken idea. The laxative which most nearly approaches the beueflceu' acllou tf nature is Hostetter's Stomach Hitters, which is painless but thorough, and invigorates the Intestinal canal instead of weakening and Irritating It. Tue liver and tbe stomach share in tbe benign discipline Institute' by this comprehensive medicine, whose healthful influence is felt throngnout the system.

Malarious, rheumatic, kidney and nervous complaints succumb to It. u. viria A Negro's Terrible Crime. The people of Staunton, were shocked early last Sunday morning by the announcement that a young girl had been criminally assaulted and murdered by a negro about two miles east of the city. The victim of the double crime was Miss Lottie Howe, the fifteen-year-old daughter ot Josepn Rowe.

The body of the murdered girl was found about dawn on the track of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, face downward, with her shoulders across the rail, by an old negro man. The entire top part of the skull was shattered, while her person bore unmistakable mark- of assault. An investigation was at once instituted. It seems that the young girl, together with Charles Bradford, had started about midnight from the house of her uncle, John Rowe, to her own home, across the railroa 1 and about six hundred yards from her uncle's. Bradford states that as they approached the bridge they passed a negro man, who afterward followed, overtook and attacked him i Bradford) knocking him oft' the bridge to the railroad embankment several feet below.

On recovering consciousness he went to the girl's home, told of the attack on him. and asked if she had reached home. She had not, and a search was instituted. It was not long until sufficient evidence had been obtained to fasten the crime upon Lawrence Spiller, a burly negro giant, a blacksmith by occupation. It was discovered how he had brutally assaulted the girl and then carried her to the railroad track and crushed her head with a stone.

Spiller. who once served a sentence of rive years in the West Virginia Penitentiary for an attempt to kill, was arrested and placed in jail. His horrible crime had fearfully incensed the people, and there was talk of lynching him. Two companies of soldiers were hastily summoned to guard the jail. The grand jury met on Monday and at once found an indictment against the negro.

He was at once put on trial, and yesterday was found guilty and sentenced to be hung June Stli. Caught By Rushing Waters. Friday night the inhabitants of the village of St. Albans, near Quebec, in Canada, heard a terrific noise, resembling the roll of thunder in the distance. The soil vibrated and panic ensued.

The people, believing the ground was going to open under them, rushed away as fast as they could. Near the parish church is a curve in vnroi- St. A 11 no wlnpli mnlros waterfall. The sides of the river, composed of clay, 150 feet high, caved in, blocking up the natural channel of the river for a distance of five miles and to a depth of 17 feet, making the water rise 100 feet above the earth walls that were supposed to hold it back. The walls were not strong enough to to keep in check the fury of the stream, and with a terrible roar and the water came down upon the unprotected village, carrying away a large part of it.

The latest information received is to the etfect that $500,000 worth of property has been destroyed, and twelve people have been killed. The Family Had Grown. Five years ago Isidor Davis left London and came to America, leaving his wife and three children in the former city, lie settled in New York and got along well in business. Recently he fitted up a snug little home. Then lie told his friends of the reunion he proposed to celebrate and wrote for his wife to come on with the three children and officiate as queen and hostess of his home.

Mrs. Davis arrived by steamer last week. Her expectant husband met her on the boat, and they embraced most lovingly. Then Mrs. Davis called her husband's attention to the children, saving: "Haven't they grown, dear, in the five years since you left us?" "One replied Davis, "I should think they had!" And he hurried away from his wife and five children, and has since hurried to issue his divorce suit.

There are two children too many. Davis won't fathei more than three. and can't figure out why lie should. So he has declared his celebration ofi Deafness Cannot be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion ot the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies.

Deafness is caused hv an iutlatued condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deaf ness is the result, and unless the inflammation can betaken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will he destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
