PUBLISHER'S NOTICE.
Subscribers to the LlHit and Gazette
are requested to pay mmey to regular
authorised collectors only. Do not pay
carriers as errors are sure to result.
The evil of Mrrying concealed deadly weapons on or about the person of
the citizen has keen as prominent in West Virginia as in any other state of the
Union of no greater population. The legislature has undertaken to regulate t e
vicious praoMee to which end it is provided that before a citizen of W est Vir
ginia shall be authorized to go armed he must procure a license from the circuit
court of khe district in which he resides after having advertised in a newspaper
for ten days his intention to apply for such privilege. To obtain the license he
must pay a fee of $l6 and give bond for good behavior in the sum of $13000.
It is very doubtful if that precaution will abate the evil to any material de
grad. It is contrary to law now in every community of the entire republic
t« carry deadly weapons concealed on the person and as this is written there is
scarcely a doubt that the law is flagrantly violated and insolently defied
by at least 1000000 American citizens.
The practice should be made a crime on the footing of a felony. If some thou
•and or so elegant and high toned gentlemen guilty of the habit should be sent
to the penitentiary in the various states and deprived of their rights to the elec-
tive franchise on the ground that they are felons the evil would be reduced to the
minimum.
Texas is not the only state that suffers from the gun-toting habit. It is a
national viee and daily killings are reported from New York Chicago and other
northern and eastern cities due to the pistol-toting habit.
If gun-toting is a national habit why not make it a subject of federal legisla
tion.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
It would be impossible to put more
error in a dozen lines than the follow-
ing from the Richmond Journal:
The democrat who stands by the
action of the party convention and »
bows to the will of the majority
even though the majority has run
counter to his own views is the
answer to the question “What is
a democrat?” Unless democrats
learn as the republicans have
learned to stand by the action of .
a majority of the party we cannot
hope to be successful. We must
learn the lesson of subscribing to
the conclusions of the majority be-
fore we can teach methods of party
victory
The d’s’inguishing characteristic of
the dcr..' 'e party is the marked in-
dividueli* ' charactt ’. generates in
its membe ; . Every true de ocrat owns
everything between the r isn of his
hat and the soles of his snow; he acts
and thinks for himself and will not be
bossed except by a Major General An-
dy Jackson an ilk now extinct.
That was the glory of the democratic
party in the days of its grandeur when
it thought things believed things and
did things. It went to the race course and
bet its money on its judgment; it was
in the barroom and took its licker
straight; it was at the cock fight and
enjoyed the sport; it played poker and
was a h&nd-and-a-half at the game.
Three were its vices aud they were not
sordid. It had its virtues too and
went to hear the good old Baptist pro-
claim the gospel of Him came to
save the unworthy poor those d'/>p in
sin weary and heavy laden. It was
without eant and about it o; around
it was not a single suspicion of the
' parvenue.
The democratic party is n mingled
principle and sentiment. It is Sir Roger
de Coverley and Wilkins Micawber
Squire Western and Colonel Newcombe
the Baron Bradwardine and Dick Swi-
veller. Discipline such a party! Canst
thou draw out leviathan with a hook?
There is no room in this country for
two parties the members of which
blindly follow the orders of its bosses
and though disastrously beaten and
terribly demoralized there is that re-
maining to the democratic party that
will make it invincible and triumphant
whenever it again gets to be a demo-
crat.
But no Prussian drill sergeant for
the party of Jefferson and Jackson—-
never!
It is no wonder that the man who
called his woman assailant “too beau-
tiful to prosecute” has advanced to the
supreme presidency of the “Order of
Owls ” He is certain to flourish long in
wisdom aud safety.
TUESDAY
The next federal census ought to be
I a good one. It is going to cost $lO-
j 000000. Still it has ever been the ox-
I perience of governments that they do

A South Alamo street grocer who
has closed his doors to take a vacation
has posted a sign on his door which
reads:
“Closed for a few days. Need
a rest doncherknow. Only once to
live. ’ ’
This sign is attracting some atten
tion and is the cause of much good-na-
tured comment.
“Now that’s the proper way to do
things” remarked a passerby. “When
a man wants to take a vacation let
him close his business and give the
other fellow a chance. I tell you I
believe the days of greed for gold are
passing and.people are getting to learn
that there is something in this world
worth living for besides money and
business. ’ ’
“That’s my idea exactly” remarked

passerby stopping and reading the sign.
“I believe with old Bill Nye that ‘We
live but once and are a long time dead.’
You know Bill’s dead.”
Part of the refrain of a once popu-
lar song ran like this:
“It’s awfully hard to love some-
body when somebody don’t love you.”
Not exactly apropos yet somewhat
along the same line was the experience
of a girl who is famed far and wide for
the expert and effective manner in
which she uses her deep and soulful
orbs. To call them eyes wouldn’t be
poetic enough considering the use they
are put to. '
One evening she was at a dinner
party and was seated opposite a young
man whom she had just met. She was
inclined toward “making an impres-
sion” and several times gazed at her
vis-a-vis steadfastly and for seconds
|at a time. He was plainly disconcerted.
I After one siege of those meaning
I glances he looked helplessly about and
: then inquired: “Do you want the
salt?”
The goo-goo operation came to an
immediate conclusion.
Saying “the usual” thing ordinarily
the purpose but occasionally
1 it lacks a ludicrous amount of fitting
| the occasion. A ease in point was the
recent marriage of a well known San
' Antonio man who has been in the “old
bachelor class” for twenty years or so
land a “widdy lady” who had passed
beyond even the fat fair aud forty
। milestone. The wedding was celebrated
with all the pomp usually attaching to
the event and they went away.
The society editors who chronicled
the happy affair were not of course
personally acquainted with the con-
tracting parties as the county papers
I say and therefore one of them was not
wholly to blame for adding to her ae-
i count: “Following the ceremony the
I young couple departed on an extended
। trip. ’’
Friends of the “young couple”
snickered quietly however when they
I read that.
