Enthusiastic Railroad Meeting in
Clinton.
Editor New Dominlon ;

Editor New Domination;
There was large and enthusiastic
Railroad meeting held at the Price
school house in this district on the
evening of June LIST, and as there has
been hut little expression OF the SEN
timcnt OF the voters of this district,
it was suggested that report OF
the meeting be sent TO the county
papers for publication.
The meeting was coled to order by
Capt @. T.. Joliiife. JAS. II. Faulk-
ncr was elected chairman and NJ. III.
Steele secretary.
The chairman made few remarks
setting forth the object of the meat
ing after which he introduced Prof.
I. Il. Hodges, Of Morgantown.
Mr.. Hodges took up the the prop.
osition Of the railroad subscription
and in very clear and forciblc man.
ner showed its Importance aud ad.
vantage to every citizen of the coun-
tty completely putting in the
shade every argument against its
adoption. Mr.. Hodges speech not
only did credit to himself but abound
ed in arguments that were strong and
convincing.
Mr.. Frank Cox, of the West Side,
followed in a stirring speech in favor
OF the railroad. We would be glad
if we were able to give your readers
a short synopsis of both speeches
but we cannot.
Mr.. A. L. Frum gave US short
speech against subscription which
brought Mr.. Hodges to the floor a
second time and lively debate fol-
lowed Mr.. Frum hung on with a
will but unfortunately for himself he
became entanglcd in his own argu.
ments and was Of course driven to
| the wall
Several of the substantial tax
payers and voters Of the district OK
pressed their hearty approval OF the
subscription. An expression OF the
sentiments of the voters present was
called for was called for and 20 re
sponded in favor of the railroad and
notwithstanding Mr.. F.'s big speech,
he was the only one against it.
There seems to be growing senti-
ment in favor of the subscription
throughout the district and we be
lieyc large majority Of the votes
will he cast in its favor.
We are glad to see the encour-
aging reports from other districts Of
the county. We are also glad to
know that progressive men--men oil

SHARP WORDS IN COURT.

A Spat lsetween MIR. Wilson and Attorney
General brewster.
Mr.. Wilson continued his address to the
jury in behalf of the defence in the Star
Route cases ON Wednesday. In tho course
Of his remarks he said that Brady had
denied that he owed Walsh single dol

Mr.. Ker-Wherc is tho evidence of that?
fright here" replied MIR. Wilson,
handing Mr.. Ker the papers in the civil
suit of Walsh against Brady. Mr.. Ker
glanced over tho papers and said that
there was no such evidence there. Mr..
Wilson replied that under the rules of
this court, if the declaration of the plain
tiff lad not been denied under oath, iudg-
ment would have been rendered long ago.
The Attorney General-It is not in evi-
jence.
Mr.. Wilson-Mr. Attorney General, do
You wish to take an advantage in this
criminal case?
The Attorney General-1 want to try
this case in accordance with the orderly
forms of law and tho evidence given.
"And the attorney general of the United
States, replied Mr.. Wilson, turning an
grily and facing that gentleman, sis
standing here to take advantage of mat
ter he knows, and if he does not know it,
here Shaking a bundle of papers at the
attorney general is the evidence of it."
"DO you suffer that ?" exclaimed tho
attorney general, angrily, jumping to his
feet and addressing the court.
81 do not propose to suffer it" replied the

as though bringing with it the last
shreds of a blighted and lost hope, came
the forlorn and mysterious reply
Billy, the dog is dead" Being pressed
for an explanation the broken-hearted
manager said: 1.-THE situation is just
this: There was a time when something
might be done, once in a while, but now
the city of Philadelphia can't buy box
Of matches and have them paid for with
out a voucher or roll of documents as
long as your arm. That man Pattison
beats everything ever saw or heard of.
You can't get away with him. He
watches everything like hawk. No,
Billy, as said before, the dog is dead. "
Verify, the dog is dead" The day
of ring manipulation of the treasury of
Philadelphia is past. The ring margin
on the contractors warrant is wiped
out. The taxpayers pay for what they
get and no more. The peoples financial
interests are zealously and fcarlessly
guarded by faithful public official, who
has thus given the best possible evidence
of his fitness for higher place in the
public service where he can serve the
people of the whole state. With Robert
E. Pattison in the executive chair the
purifying and healthful atmosphere OF
reform would be felt at Harrisburg rs it
has been in Philadelphia. There would
be a cleaning out of political vandals
" on the hill" The legislative rooster
would become unknown, for corrupt
legislation would be- impossible. The
government Of the state would he re.
stored to its original design. Honesty
and efficiency would reign where NAL
administration and corruption have st
long held high carnival.

court. "1 am surprised that . counsel
generally a. proper in his conduct of this
case should have forgotten himself as he
seems to have done In this instance"
After some further colloquy and an
apologetic explanation Of his language BY
Mr.. Wilson that gentleman concluded his
address.
Colonel Ingersoll says all the Star Route
defendants will be acquitted. OF the
Dorsey's acquittal he has NO doubt. He
SAYS "Government counsel may hang
the jury. That's the way they practise
law in Philadelphia He adds that Sena.
tor Dorsey, when newspaper attacks first
began on him, made out statement Of
his Innocent connection with the Star
Routes, and handed it to James and Mac
Vcagh. "If yon find that does not cor
respond with tho record - he said, ''show
protect mo from newspaper abuse" In
gersoll says they never told him what
thcy found out about it.

OF the Labor convention will be the elec-
tion of General Beaver. 81 90 that Mr..
Cooper says" the Democratic chairman
remarked hast evening, "that tho work
iugmen's endorsement Of Armstrong viii
give the areenback ticket from eighty to a
hundred thousand votes. He says that
four out of five will come from tho Demo-
cratic ranks. Now, since he publicly an
nounces that such is the purpose Of the
movement, feel certain that the move
ment is defeated. The workingmen of
this state are not fools, and when they
learn from Mr.. Cooper's own lips that he
intends to use them as catspaws, they will
object to pulling his nuts out of the fire.
T6ey are not for Beaver-that's certain.
1 am glad that Mr.. Cooper has impressed
it upon all good Democrats that vote for
Armstrong means vote for Beaver"

" The Dog is Dead"

The management of the Philadelphia
House OF Correction has been tOlerably
free from open scandals, but it is well.
known that in former years places on
the board, the members of which are
elected by city councils, were largely
sought by off color politicians who are
always ION the make" 1t is easy to
see that the supply department of suc!,
an institution might afford a fine
field for ring manipulation, provided
there was no incorruptible and vigilant
watchman somewhere on the pathway
to the city treasury. Controller Han
cock was praised to the skies
by the old city ring as a paragon
of personal and official virtue, but it was
only woll played game to deceive the
people, who, when the light was sud
denly turned on, discovered that Hon
est Sammy's" ways were the ways of
the wicked in other words, that he had
permitted the city to be systematically
robbed. Under his administration an
nual expenses increased enormously and
the contractor, public institution mana
ger and political cormorant generally
waxed fat and defiant. Now q radically
different state of affairs exists in and
out of the controllers officeA being sim
ply due to the presence therein of an
honest man. And thereby hangs most
suggestive tale, not merely founded on
facts, hut upon the cold and solid truth
itself.
Recently business misfortune over
took one of the most active of the Cor
rection managers, and being utterly
without financial resources he was prac-
tically reduced to the unhappy but by
no means uncommon condition of an
"o(licial" tramp. Meeting him press
Ing bricks one day on the highway,

CRUELTY TO A CHILD.



Tho lady managers Of the Children's
Home have made complaint before Alder
man Barr againsr . lailkman aamet: MOhr,
residing . few miles out Of town, fOr
cruelty to little girl named NixilOrf, for
merly an inmate of the Home. but who
three years ago was inllcntured to MOhr,
and has since been living ut his place. In
timations having come to tho ears of tho
ladies of the Home that the man had not
been treating the child kindly, they have
recently written several letters to
him, which he alleges he never
received. On Wednesday q neighbOr Of
Mohr's brought the little girl to town and
the Homo managers are indignant ut what
they describe her pitiful condition, more
than realizing the suspicious which had
lately been awakened. They declare
that the child's body bears the marks Of
frequent severe whippiDgs, and that it is
evident the punishment was not inflicted
with anything 80 light as q switch, but
that brOOmsiick or other heavy instru-
mont must havo been used in the tlOgg3ng,
while there arc marks that look as though
they were made with boot. Doctors
Atlee and Roland, after an examination Of
tho little unfortunate, who is only twelve
years old, say that she has undoubtedly
been subjected. to positive cruelty and
abuse, and that the development OF hsr
muscles is abnormal and out of all Dr0pOr-
tiOn, indicating that the child has been
made to perform manual labor fit only Tor
. full grown man. Sho is very thin and
her appearance In evoVy way goes to show
that she has had hard time of It.
The managers of tho Home avOw their
purpose Of prOsecutiOng MOhr to tho full
est extent Of the law for what they allegs
to be his barbarity. They mako no effort
to suppress the facts in the case, which
thoy say stands alone in tho history of tho
institution. OF more than 1000 children
sent cut from the Home this in the first
time there has been one returned
in such state, although they have re.
claimed many when they had reason to
suspect that the children were not being
properly treated. They havo compelled
MOhr to release the little NixdOrf girl from
the indenture which they claim he has 70
grossly violated, and will press with vigOr
the suit they have entered against him
under the statute to prevent cruelty to
children.
At the meeting of tho board of lady
managers or the Home last Friday even
ing, and before the facts In tho case above
reported had come to their knowledge,
the subject of having some one appointed
to look after the children sent out from
the institutiOnwas considered. The papers
Of indenture require that persons Who take
children shall write at least once a year
to the managers reporting the condition
Of their charges. The BlOhI episode has,
however, in the minds of the ladies from
whom the above facts are gathered, clinch-
cd the argument in favor Of having s0me
one appointed who can go around and per-
sOnally acquaint himself with the condi-
tion Of tho children indentured from the
Home.

AKrHUk,S CABINET.
Tho lsetirement OF SecrosaE1ea Freiipghu,
sen, Howe and Folger COrjectured.
Noxv YORK ann

Tho xetjroment OF secretaries Freiiughuy-
son, Howe and Folger COrjectured.
New York Sun. 1913
There arc no reasons for saying that
there will be an early recasting Of the
cabinet. 1t will be from no disagreement
betwcen it ind tho executive, nor from
internal discussions, but solely to insure
greater efficiency in the service and to
strengthen the administration before the
country. The need of the latter has for
some time been felt. In this respect the
cabinet is not strong one. It has been
the cause of many complaints from Gen.
eral Arthur's most faithful supporters.
From the first it was felt that tho cabinet
had too many grandfathers in it-toO little
fresh blood and sinew.
Mr.. Howe while accepting the pOstOffice
department, wanted only the post of at.
torney general. This was given to Mr..
Brewster solely because of his connection
with the Star Route suits. But MIR. Howe's
transfer to that position is altogether i'm
probable. He is the oldest member of the
cabinet. Cabinet duties arc Onerous to
men past seventy. 1t is known that the
work of his present post is distasteful to
him.
Tho advancement of Mr.. HattOn to tho
postmaster generalship, although it would
crafty that gentleman's ambition, is i'm
probable, though . change in the office he
now holds is not unlikely.
Mr.. Teller's appointment to the interior
was due to an embarrassment growing out
of Sargent's failure to get that Office. The
Colorado senator's acceptance was to
oblige tho president and to save himself.
Teller is in Colorado now arranging for
his reelection to the Senate, which his
resignation to 60 into the department Of
the interior helped, rather than otherwise.
Between him and tho president it was un-
derstOOd that his acceptance as secretary
was to DO only temporary.
In tho var department. there will be no
change, unless Mr.. Lincoln desires it.
The fight of David Davis seat in the
Senate may force change.
llr. Frelinghuysen's appointment to
Mr.. LoWell's place abroad would enable
General Arthur to choose \ secretary of
state satisfactory to himself. Whenever q
change there is spoken of Mr.. OOnkling,
of course, comes to the front.
Any change in the navy department at
preeeHt is improbable, Mr.. Chandler's ap-
pOintment being in the pursuit OF the pur-
pose which the impending recast is in
tended to serve.
Secretary Folger said that it seemed to
10 the general understanding that his
name would be submitted to the coming
state convention for It's action, and while
no was not candidate-using that word
in the sense Of seeker after position
should the convention see fit to nominate
him lie would accept and enter heartily
into the canvass. ~ am not ashamed to
say" Mr.. Folgcr continued, "that nom-
an honor OF which l would be proud
and which l would accept without hesita-
tiOn.'
