NEWTOWN'S STAGNATlON.

Hearing within the past few days that
English capitalists from Hotchkissville
have been examining the Sandy Hook
Shoddy Mill with Wow to starting a
cutlery shop, we trust that our own
citizens will follow the example thus set
them. Our facilities for manufacture In
this town are large. and there Is no fear
but that the most desirable locations eau
he procured. We shall watch with much
anxiety who shall be the arst to take the
Initiative in this business. We shall also
eagerly await the action that the owners
of the above mill may take, FOR we conf
IDENTIFY hope no man will be a stumbling
block In the way OF any enterprise that
pr misses our town its much-needed
and long-postponed Improvement. We
have recently visited Danbury, and we
must say that we We're astonlshed at the
development OF that town. Many say
that the rich would not be much bone
think that such persons must be worse
than moon-blind. The learned profess
sions nowadays are overstocked with vo-
tares and all reasoning persons have
long since come to the conclusion that
tho field OF the manufacturer is far
moro safe and speedy path to the acquire
ment OF a fortune. To say that the peo-
pie OF Sandy Hook from dr. Mullee's
house TO Mr.. Carmody's cannot Of them
selves start q paying, live business, is to
say that they are dead as well to all en-
terprise. as to the thoroughly revived as
pcct OF business throughout the country
The same thing holds true OF the resi-
dents OF Newtown, and for many reasons.
~ may be more emphatically 50. The
BEE has given It's mite to resuscitate the
10 lg PROSTATE fusiness of Newtown, and
we confidently hope 1t will not be allow
ed to die until thisi place occupies the
position among the towns OF our State
for which 1t Is so admirably adapted. We
shall have more to say on this matter IN
our next issue and BY that time we hope
also to be able to chronicle that Sandy
Hook Is alive and roaring.

Long has your humble correspondent

in our town have hurried on in rapid sue

there were wars and rumors of wars
in the White Oak School District; these

A GROWING EVIL.

Now that the fall elections are over we
fnd the usual complaints OF the use OF
money at the polls. The successful can
didates In both parties are charged by
their political opponents with securing
their elections by purchasing votes We
do not refer particularly to our own town
or county, but to the country at large.
The evil OF which we speak Is not confined
10 any locality or party, but Is fast becom-
Ing a national curse, which will eventual
ay undermine the principles OF our gov
eminent. The following paragraph, which
appeared I'm the columns OF q political
paper, published in New York State, the
day after the election, speaks volumes:
ut was not all election yesterday in this
place. IL was an auction, and our opponents
having the most money purchased the
goods" The shameless and open use OF
money at the elections in this country by
both parties, is ono OF the worst evils
that accompany these periodical contests
for place. The freeman's dearest privi-
Iege, vital TO the interest OF humanity
ana our country's institutions. Is de-
bauched and made null and void by the
use of money; and the worst Of 1t is it is
not only winked at by church members and
men otherwise pure and above reproach,
hut some such men are among the most
actively engaged In this soul-debasing
work. 1t Is laughed at and joked about
by both parties. and the victory IS ofton
won by that party which spent the most
money. II reminds one OF the infidel
Voltaire's remark that God always fa-
vors the heaviest pattalions." So Gus
tomary has II become to buy voters, that
hundreds will not vote at all unless paid
for II, and they wait and sell themselves
to the highest bidder. The sums paid
range anywhere from glass of whiskey
20 five dollars. and In some instances as
high MS fifteen to twenty dollars, DEEPEN
don't upon circumstances.
Now, what Is the remedy for this evil?
We confess we are unable to tell. Pub
lie sentiments seems to permit 1t, and as
the morals of community never rise high
or than the sentiment that animates 1t,
1t seems hopeless task to try to provide
a remedy. Laws are powerless and in
operative whore they are not upheld by
tho public sentiment. and until there is
q change just here. our elections will go
OH from bad to worse. and instead OF this
being government OF the people, for
the people, by the people" it will be a
government OF the people. for the place
holders, by those who have the most
money. and are willing to use it the most
shamefully.

that region. The Black Hills Ne'cs
tells of George Vanwater, an old Mon
tana miner, and J.. NJ. Fisher, a pioneer
Of the Hills, who have obtained a good
thing in the Big Horn mountains. The
Neios says:
They have several locations, placer
and quartz, near the head of No Wood
creek, which they believe al be worked
to advantage. As yet but little work
has been done OF either. Tie noun
tains contain two or three hundred pros
pestors. who purpose remaining there
through the winter. The entire Pow
der valley is rapidly filling up with set
tiers, Goose creek alone having a popu-
lation of over $50, divided into forty
seven families. Mr.. Vanwater will re.
main in the Hills until spring.
