LEWIS, T. BI TLER MOORE. For County Surveyor: S. HOWELL BROWN. As for Mr.

Morton, he ain't saying much, so he won't have much to take back. It ought to be no trouble for West Virginia Democrats to stick to the nominees this year. Mr. Blaixk once had his Burchard and we suspect that Mr. Harrison will soon have a laine.

Thk Democratic party is the party of the people and the Republican party party of a class. Thk young woman who distinguished herself at the Huntington convention was a trifle "gaily." to say the least. It will be observed that the tariff bill has not become a law yet, on account of a Republican Senate, mainly. Thk President being how he felt in regard to his election, replied: the people are with me and the people are very hard to beat." Thk result of the Huntington con. vent ion is not calculated to elevate Republican hopes in this State to any great extent.

No blunders were made as to the nominees. Thk Republicans do not seem to be specially proud of the principal issue of their party, which is free whisky. Tippecanoe and Tanglefoot too is not a popular rallying cry. Tiik fact that most of the manufacturers and monopolists are greatly in favor of the old tariff is calculated to make the working man a little "whoop erstitious," as Col. Boyee would say.

Mr. T. C. Miller, who conducted the Teachers' Institute for this county, and Mr. U.

S. Fleming were candidates before the Republican State Convention which met at Charleston this week, for the nomination of State Superintendent of Public Schools. Thk recent Democratic State Convention has again proven that these bodies are entirely too large, and consequently too unwieldly. We hope that the State Executive Committee will at once take some action looking to a reduction of the number of delegates and that they will make such rules as will result in a material modification of the present usages. Mo mob should nominate a candidate.

Mr. Blaine has again distinguished himself as a campaign orator. In a recent political speech he took it upon himself to defend the many that are now so seriously menacing the welfare of this country. He said "they are largely private affairs, with which neither President Cleveland nor any private citizen has any particular right to interfere. Mr.

Blaine may be a very influential man, but we hardly think he can force his confid. ing fellow-men to swallow everything he says. President Cleveland has done his duty in calling attention to the already great and ominously growing evils to the people occasioned by these trusts and combinations, and the people not the corporations honor him for it. As to the private citizens, we rather think they have a right to interfere with the sugar trust that has increased the price of this necessity two cents a pound; with the lumber trust, that imposes an addi. tional tax on every man who wants to build a home; on the coal combina.

tion that fixes prices at its own jsweet will; at the paper trust, the leather trust, the flour trust, the steel trust, and so on through the list. The private citizen has a right to interfere. He will largely cast his ballot next November against the Republican party that encourages them. THE STATE TICKET. The Democratic nominees placed 1 before the people of this State by the convention at Huntington are well 1 worthy the support of the i ami we think the entire ticket will be elected by a handsome majority.

From Governor down, the gentlemen named for the several offices are first: class men of good character, well qualified for the places, and of sound Democracy. They were nominated fairly and properly, ami no Democrat should refuse his hearty support to the whole ticket. With a full set of State officers and a Democratic legislature, only one thing more is needed and that is four Democratic Representatives in Congress. Can the Democrats of the fourth district do their duty and send a Democratic successor to General (fofT? Heavy Rainstorms. The Upper Ohio Valley in the vieinitv of Wheeling is suffering fioni another deluge.

it is almost impossible to form uii estimate. but the loss ithin a radius of fifty miles of Wheeling will certainly reach a half million dollars, may be much more when the facts arejfullv known. So far as reported. no loss of life has occurred, but there have been numerous narrowescapes. The entire farming country is flooded.

Corn, outs and all crops of a kindred nature are utterly ruined, and barns, stables, outhouses anil dwellings have been swept awav in every valley through which runs a tributary to the Ohio. This storm coming so quickly in the wake of the two which proceeded it, falls with terrible force upon the people of that region. Many who had but just re- covered the last disaster have again lost heir all. As usual, the railaoads have suffer ed terribly along the line of the l'itts- I burg division of the Baltimore and Ohio. The bridge is gone at West Alexander.

Pa. Three bridges at and near Triadelpiiia, Ohio county; one at Elm (irove. and the Main street bridge in Wheeling with which twenty people were carried down in the tlood of of a month ago, are again swept away. The latter bridge, as in the case of all the others, had just been rebuilt by the railroad company. All trains were adandoned on the Ohio I railroad, on Wednesday.

A terrific cyclone, water spout, or a combination of both, wrought terri- havoc in the vicinity of Wilmington, on Sunday evening. Hail it been a half to the northward, would have struck that city, and the damage would have been inca culable. So far as heard from at least half a million dollar's worth of property must have been destroyed, (hie person was killed, and seven seriously wounded, while a large number were badly wounded. The storm came from the southwest. and cut a direct course toward the northeast.

Eye-witnesses say its path was not over two hundred yards wide. There were several strata of clouds, which seemed to be no higher than the tree tops. They came on with a terrific roar like that of dis- I tant thunder or the noise made by a train passsing over a bridge. The storm extended down the Maryland peninsula, and, in Kent county particularly, the havoc was terrific and unprecedented. Houses were blown down, trees uprooted, and the peach orchards suffered great damage.

From Still Pond, in Kent, comes the report of the loss of several lives, The cyclone cut a wide swath through the countrv, sweeping everything be- fore it. and leaving an awful picture of wreck and desolation. Reports are coming in of loss of life, here and there, but all the wires are down, and it will be some time before com- i munication is resumed. Hundreds of thousands of dollars will not cover the loss: and, coming at the height of the peach season, it will prove a seri- i ous blow to the growers. Collision at Sea.

The steamship (ieiser of the Thingvalla line was run down at sea at 4 o'clock Tuesday morning of last week by the Thingvalla of the same line. Four minutes later the (ieiser sunk. The collision occurred otT thesouthern Newfoundland coast. The night was very dark, and a heavy rain and a thick haze made it difficult to distill- guisli objects at a distance. Few of those on board the (ieiser had any warning of the impending danger.

The Thingvalla struck her almost I auiidship and very nearly cut her in two. The scene on the deck of the sinking ship is said to have been appalling. Not one of the lifeboats could he launched, each being capsized by the rush of the people the instant it was cut loose from its fastenings. The officers of the steamship company could not tell the exact ntim her that had perished, but from the best list available, between ItiO and 12o lost their lives. There were many strange escapes from death.

One of the officers of the (ieiser was awakened by the crash onlv to find that the bo w'of the Thingvalla had cut through the (ieiser and was then alongside liis hunk. He caught the anchor chain as the two vessels drew apart, and when they were clear again he clambered up the side. Those saved were picked up by boats from the Thingvalla which were launched immediately after the collision. As soon as daylight appeared the Thingvalla cruised slowly about the seei of the wreck in hope of finding some of the missing drifting 011 life preservers, but none were seen. All that were p'eked up were taken aboard within an hour after the vessels struck.

The captain of he Thingvalla displayed signals of distress. It was found that vesselwas not serously injured. Her prow was smashed and her forward compartments were filled with water, but there was no danger of her sinking. At noon the Wieland of the Hamburg line, bound for NewYork hove in sight. She saw the distress siginals 011 the Thingvalla and steamed alongside and took aboard all the rescued from the (ieiser.

and also all the passengers of the Thingvalla. The captain of the latter refused to be towed into port, and steamed away for Halifax. An Old Scholar The Carlisle Indian School boasts of the oldest pupil now attending a school in the United States. This person is past the advanced age of three score. He is a man of vigorous physique, with a strong, open face for one of his age and his race.

His career to coining to Carlisle was one mown among all the Indian tribes of the West. The tribe to which he belongs is one of the small ones, yet it has been a powerful one during the many Indian skirmishes of late years in the West. This man, who is called Crazy Head, was chief of the Crownation, and his record as a warrior and ability as a chief are quite well known bv many of the boys here at the school from different tribes. He was transferred to this school lately, and seems anxious to learn white man's ways and white man's works. He is now learning the blacksmith trade, and during the coining winter will attend the school instruction half days and work the other half.

A Woman's Discovery. "Another wonderful discovery bas been made and that too by lady in this county, i Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years she withstood Its severest tests, 1 but her vital organs were undermined and death seemed Imminent. For three months she coughed incessantly and could not sleep. She bought of us a bottle of King's NewDiscovery for Consumption and was so much relieved on taking lirst dose that she slept all night and with one bottle has been miraculously cured. Her name Is Mrs.

Luther Lutz." Tnus write W. C. Homrick of Hhelby, N. C. Get a true trial bottle at J.

CJ. Gibson's Drug store. A LETTER FROM THE SEASHORE. Atlantic City, N. August 20, 1888.

Dear Register This is the first time the undersigned lias ever seen the ocean. I find that it is everything that it has been cracked up to be, and am convinced that no finer ocean than the Atlantic can be found in the I nited States or any other country. 1 he wild waves thunder on the shore just exactly as the poets say, the vast, illimitable sea presents its heaving bo. soiu precisely as described in the books. Atlantic City is a mighty fine place from which to view the ocean.

The town is bounded on three sides by the sea and on the other side by State of New Jersey. 1 don believe it would be bounded by New Jersey, though, if it could help it. One of the drawbacks to the place is the fact that you have to travel across New Jersey to reach here, and are obliged to look out on a flat landscape, sand, pines, marshes, and hills, aver aging about seven and a-half feet in height. I am told that some people travel on the night trains in order to avoid being afliicted with the view. The permanent population of Atlantic City is about 20,000 souls? I reckon they all have souls, though you would not think it hen you pay ten cents for a one-cent paper or imbibe some of the soft drinks that are sold? while the floating or visiting population gets up as high as fifty thousand.

All the buildings here that are not hotels are boarding-houses, except a number of private cottages belonging to rich folks who enjoy the seashore in their own homes. There is a board walk here that is a line thing. It is about four miles long, and extend along the beach for that distance, elevated on posts about six feet above the sand. At high tide the waves dash up to and sometimes upon the walk, while at low tide there is a long stretch of sand betwixt it and the water. Everybody promenades along this board walk.

On the one side is the ocean, with every now and then a pavilion or pier running away out into the water. You can't see to the other side of the ocean. It's too far. They tell me that straight across the water the first land that would be met is the coast of Spain. Iiut its Spainfullv far away.

On the land side of the board walk are booths of every size and condition, where you can buy almost anything? relics from the Holy Land, root beer, shells, not bombshells? nicely salted cigars, peanut candy, and so forth. can also have your picture taken about every sixty feet, for there are as many photograph establishments here as there are beer saloons in Philadelphia. Then there are merry-go rounds, where for five cents any one can ride on a lion, or a bear, or a hen, or a giralTe, or an ostrich for several minutes, at the same time feasting the ear on elegant music that is kept up by means of cog wheels attached to a musical instrument of torture. The lions ami things are not alive, being made of wood, but they look a great deal more natural than the genuine animal, and are much more highly colored. The visitor is given every opportunity to enjoy himself.

Of course you are charged moderate prices for the various amusements, but you can see the ocean all you want to and look at the pretty girls without it costing you a cent. The ocean hereabouts is principally used for bathing purposes. About 11 o'clock in the morning the fun begins. The tide is rather low then, and a fine stretch of jsaiul shows itself. Ladies and gentlemen and children attire themselves in more or less st mining costumes in the numerous bath-houses near the water and get themselves ready for a plunge.

There are thousands of the bathers in the water at the same time, and it is a very pretty and interesting sight. Many of the people plunge in boldly and enjoy the struggle with the big that roll in so steadily and at times so overwhelmingly. Others, especially the girls who have prettily arrayed bangs and becoming costumes, linger around the edge of the water and saunter up and down the sand looking sweet. 1 don't know how it strikes the old stagers, but to a greenhorn like myself this surf bathing is one of the most enjoyable things unimaginable. We Shepherdstown folks thought we would be awkward at first, and would not be able to disport ourselves in the breakers with any degree of grace or comfort.

Hut we made the elTort, and soon found our- selves getting along as well as any of the bathers. Or eat waves come in and break over the people, and sometimes overwhelm them. Those who have been watchful either spring to the top or dive through, and enjoy if, while others of the bathers are lifted from their feet by a wave that overturns them, mixes them up, rolls them 1 over and over and finally breaks on the beach and leaves them to get ready for the next one. It is a most exhilarating sport, and 1 don't wonder it is so fascinating to so many. The first day we were we could hardly tear ourselves away.

A big wave just as we were going out expedited Ous Shepherd amazingly, and gave him a good send off. This place is favored with as great a number of high and low tides as any summer resort in the country. There are two high and two low tides every day. It is said that the tide is influenced by the moon. 1 believe that this is true, but have not the documents with me to prove it.

But 1 know that a full moon causes a very high tide in love affairs, for then the ocean is just as romantic looking as can be, and the conditions are such that young men and young women feel Cupid's influence to a very decided degree. The moon is about full now, so you can imagine the state of affairs here. At th? north end of the board walk is the inlet, from which sailing vessels of every kind carry out those persons who desire to find out whether they are subject to seasickness or not. The other day our party went out in a cat-bout. We sailed out two or three miles, and then the fun began.

First, one of the young ladies made her contribution to the ocean, and she was quickly followed by the senior gentleman of our party. As Mark Twain would say, he fairly threw up his immortal soul. Until we got ashore again these two persons vied with each other in being miser- able and in discarding things they had no further use for. AVe who were not sick felt highly elevated at our superior seamanship. The average sailing party goes out with all the glad blithesomeness of youth, happy and cheerful and full of jokes and dinner.

In a couple of hours it returns sad and woebegone, not caring whether the boat sinks or swims, with all interest in life or earthly things departed, unresponsive as to jests and hollow ayd empty as to all nourishment partaken of within the last twenty years. It is a I mighty nice thing, however, for I sons who have seaworthy stomachs. I had expected to see a greater diversity in bathing costumes than I have so far noticed. Ninety-nine I hundredths of them are very dark blue of the simplest cut and not much trimmings. There are a few, however, that are more dizzy than decent.

These seem to he of white cheese cloth and when they get wet they cling to the form and make a sight that would put a ballet girl to shame. A redheaded girl here in one of these thin i suits seems to attract the most attention. Hut she don't seem to be embarrassed, so I suppose it is all right, There is one remark I want to make: It is not true that Jersey 1110s- I (piitoes are as large as spring chickens. I have not seen one since I have been here that was bigger than an English sparrow. In the party that came over from Shepherdstown last Thursday were Mrs.

Henry Shepherd, and Will and (Jus, her sons: Miss Titus, Mrs. Dr. A. S. Reynolds and Miss Clurie Howies; Mrs.

Mollie Locher and Miss Ella llout and Mr. Gurm. All except the three last named are at the Ocean House, a very comfortable and wellkept hostelry in sight of the ocean. Hlackburn Hughes. of Martinsburg.
