: The Republican Party stands :
for honest money and the chance
to earn it by honest toil.
: WILLIAM McKINLEY. j
One of the important lessons of his
tory is to be found in the fact that no
nation has ever prospered by debasing:
its currency. ,
"Laiiok can not be hoarded ; the idle
day is gone forever ; lost wages are
never reimbursed, and, therefore,
steady employment and good pay in
good money are essential to the com
fort and happiness of the American
laborer and his wife and children."
John G. Carlisle.
BusiNhSS is dull. Men are waiting.
Capital is timid. Enterprise halts.
Hut the real speculators of the country,
the men who stand the great risks as
betters stand to political managers,
are the chaps in Wall street They are
tho men who discount the future, who
risk hundreds of thousands on the
events of the future. Do you notice
that Wall street markets have been
firm for more than a month ? Have
you observed that lowest prices were
made in the early part of August?
These sharp dealers can ma'tc money
whether the market goes up or down.
It is their business to forecast. That
is what they are doing today. And the
stock market tells the story of the com
ing November even better than the
letting ring. Com. Gaz.
Smiles are carried by everybody con
nected with Republican headquarters
and by everybody who has called there
this week, and why shouldn't there be?
Everything has been coming the way
of the men who are engaged in direct
ing the fight for McKinley and Hobart,
good government, honest money and a
chance for every man to earn it by
honest labor. The Maine cyclone was
a good second to the recent Vermont
tornado, and even in the heart of the
silver stronghold of Arkansas the re
vised returns show that tremendous
gains were made at tho recent election
by Republicans and that there was a
corresponding loss by the Democrats.
From the faraway Pacific coast comes
cheering intelligence of the rapid
growth of McKinley and Ilobart senti
ment and of the strong probability
that Oregon and California will both
be found in the Republican column in
November, and from the great middle
western states, which were considered
doubtful a short tine ago, comes tho
most positive assurance of Republican
victory. The Republican who could be
in the midst of all this good news and
not carry smiles around would be a
queer sort of an individual, wouldn't
There has been a lot of scurrying
around this week by the Popocratic
bosses. The whole outfit has been in
Washington holding consolation meet
ings which did not give any consola
tion to the badly frightened crowd.
They see tho handwriting of defeat on
the walls wherever they go, and as a
consequence they are backbiting each
other in great style. Although they
one and all denied it, there is reason
to believe that one of tho subjects they
discussed was how to get rid of Tom
Watson and Sewall, It is known that
they also agreed to abandon the cam
paign in the East and that Teller's en
gagements to speak in New York have

-who represents liryan's old district in
flnnirress. arrived in Washington thin
week. He brought good news, as do
most of the visiting Republicans these
daya He says: "The electoral vote of
Nebraska will surely be cast for Mc
Kinley and Hobnrtj sound money and
protection. The Republican ticket
wU win by a majority ranging from
5,000 to 15,000. Tho majority depends
much on what takes place regarding
the tall end of the Popocratic ticket.
If Sewall Is withdrawn Bryan's chances
will be weakened, because thero are
many Democrats who do not favor
making It possible for a thoroughbred
Populist like Watson to become Presi
dent. Mr. Bryan will not carry his
own voting precinct. A recent poll of
the precinct showed that McKinley
and Hobart would poll 201 votes
against 71 for Bryan. The Republi
cans will carry the district by at least
2,500 majority- If the election had
been held fcno montfi ago the Demo
crats would'havo carried thes'tate b,y
from 10,000 to 15,0o6 majority. tfW'(jt
is irredeemably lost to Bryan." Tho
cause of this great chango is that a
great number of tho voters of Nebras
ka have been carefully studying the
financial question, something they
have never done before. They have
come to tho conclusion that they want
no 53-cent dollars in theirs. Hence
tho assurance of Republican success."
The Democratic managers are get
ting worried about the state election
in Georgia, next month; they fear that
the legislature may be anti-democratic
and are not sure of electing the gov
ernor. Hon. C. P. Goodyear, of that
state, who is a Republican, says: "I
feel certain that tho Democratic ticket
will win by a greatly reduced major
ity. We have a very strong prohibi
tion element, which will nearly all
support the Populist ticket, and the
sound money Democrats are more num
erous than is generally supposed, and
they are making an aggressive war
fare. The enthusiasm for free silver
is decidedly on the wane in Georgia."
Rev. Dr. Talmage returned to Wash
ington this week to resume his pulpit
labors. As he traveled around exten
sively during his vacation he was ask
ed what he thought of the political
situation, and by inference which side
ho was on. He replied promptly: "I
do not believe in the gospel of smash
up." He further expressed the opinion
that this country would en-joy a big
business boom, which will begin right
after election. He says he found pub
lic opinion asserting itself everywhere
he had been and the feeling of con
fidence in our country and our institu
There is reason to believe that Sena
tors Teller, of Colo., and Dubois, of
Idaho, both of whom were in Washing
ton this week for the purpose of con
ferring with the other Popocratic man
agers, regret that they allowed their
love for silver to lead them into their
present company, not only because
they see defeat at the end of tho cam
paign, but because they have to tacitly
support other planks of the Chicago
platform to which both of them are
conscientiously opposed, and of which
they haye become thoroughly ashamed.

Foreign and Home Markets.
George B. Curtiss in his book, "Pro
tection and Prosperity," gives the tar
iff! history of every nation on earth.
His object lb to see just how much
there is in the cry for foreign markets.
He concludes that part of his work as
Over 300,000,000 peopla in Europe are
not only preserving and maintaining
their home markets, but are glutting
every market on the face of the globe
with every conceivable commodity
made by the handicraft of man. Every
port in the world, every warehouse is
filled with articles from their factories
offered for sale at prices which furnish
small reward for capital and but a
scanty i return for labor. These are
the conditions under which thB United
States is asked to contest for foreign
markets. Never in the history of the
world has it been so difficult for the
United States to maintain its wago
rate and the comfort and opulence of
their people under free competition as
today. The very fact that European
countries are undermining the indus
trial life of Great Britain aad that her
Industrial centres are filled with alarm
and her manufacturers and artisans
crying out with distress, makes the
the proof doubly strong that if tho
United States should let down or re
move her protective barriers every in
dustry would be closed, every wheel
silenced and every laborer thrown out
of employment There is scarcely an
article marie in the United States but
that can be rnado cheaper in some other
part of the world. As long as this sit
uation remains, the only hope of our
industrial prosperity lies in the perpet
uation of the policy of protection.

Miss Myrtlo Sibley, daughter of
Judge Hiram Sibley, of Mariettn, Is
very well known her, where sho has
frequently visited ns tho guest of MUs
Alice Tavfor. of West Fourth .street.
and'Uhs made a wide circle of-riends

Her musical talent has gained her
much admiration here and in other
places, and it is to cultivate this talent
that she goes abroad. Her destination
is Berlin, and she will remain there a
year, studying under the best pianist
of Germany. She goes with Mrs. S. M.

Mrs. Phoobo Thomas, of Junction
City, 111., was told by her doctors sho
had Consumption and that thero was
no hope for her, but two bottles of Dr.
King's New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr.
Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St, San
Francisco, suffered from a dreadful
cold, approaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle of Dr. King's New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. It is such
results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy of
this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

new minuet for tho piano, which he
has dedicated to his American admir

"Menuet Modercne." He regards the
new composition as his best, and be
lieves that it will raoet with greater
popular favor than his "Menuet a

over 7,000,000 copies were sold In a

The "Big Injun" sand territory in
the vicinity of Hebron, Pleasants Co.t
Is growing In importance and promises
to show greater activity than any other
development bordering on tho Ohio
Tho Mayflold well 'near Conway,
Tyler county, Is still attracting some
attention, but tho rapidity with which
tho well has declined has caused some,
who at first thought well of it, to be a
little skeptical, and they are a ltttlo
backward about starting now work.
A report has also been circulated to
tho effect that the Mayfleld well got
its oil in the Keener instead of tho Big
Injun formation. This has proven a
drawback to tho starting of new work.
Those who aro postod on the record of
the Mayfleld well say that it got its
oil at 25 feet abovo the line and Its
color and gravity aro Identical with
the Keener sand product.- It is pro
ducing 70 barrels a day. Spragg & Co.
,tlic owners, have started to drill a test
on an adjoining lease and aro building
the rig for No. 2 on the Mayfleld.
These two wells and tho three locations
made by the South Penn Oil' 'Co. -.'comprise
all tho work" how underwayor
prospective for tho near future. Other
leaseholders aro waiting nnd watching
for more favorable indications before
they will try their luck.
The Carter Oil Co. has made five
more locations on tho Livingston farm
and the Fisher Oil Co. has made three
on the Barker farm.
Ralnoy & Co. are among tho active
operators in that locality and have
made four locations.. Their well on the
Odell farm, completed a few days since,
is said to b'e good for 100 barrels' a day.
Bcttmann & Watson and Crawford &
Treat, tuo active Sistersvillo firms,
have made locations qut in that terri
tory. It is thought now that 25 or HO
now wells will be drilling in that terri
tory within tho next threo weeks.
In the lower southwest fields, no new
developments were reported. The
Kanawha Oil Co's. No. 3, Robblnson,
had not been heard from. It was re
ported making 10 barrels an hour Wed
On Indian Creek, the Victor Oil and
Gas Co. is drilling at 1,700 feet at its
No. 2. Furbce. The gas pressure that
made that locality famous a few years
ago, when the "Big Moses" was drilled
in, has gone off and is now down to a
very low ebb.
A special from Sharon says that rep
resentatives of the Standard Oil Co.
have leased several hundred acres of
territory in that yiclnity and will drill
in several wells at once. Jas. Shilling
and C. Stewart have taken up some
leases at Wheatland. Hubbard & Co.
have drilled a well near that place and
got a good showing for lubricating oil.
Operatlbns at present aro quite active
in the vicinity of Yankeoburg. Roeser
& Downing are moving the rig from
their No. 3 on the Conger farm and
Schnauffer & Berry haye the rig up
and are waiting for water to commence
drilling on, the Thrasher farm.
Latchaw has stopped drilling on
Magruder on account of the lack of
