The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1883-02-10

There is proposition before the
Legislature to submit to vote con-
stitutional amendment changing the
time of holding our fall elections
from October to November so that
State and county officers can be
voted for at the same time Presiden-
tial electors and members of Congress
are chosen. This change would be a
great saving of expense as we'll as
time to our voters.

Not for many years has the lobby
at Washington been as powerful,
and carefully conducted as at pres
ent. The tinkering at the tariff now
being done by the Republican party
shows what strength there is in the
third house." and what efforts the
monopolists of all kinds are making
to hold their own. There is scarcely
any doubt but that tariff bill will
be passed. But there will be no re-
form in it. The franchise of sys-
tematically extorting money from
the poar will be continued only under
another name.

If you would reduce freight rates
to half what you pay now, vote for
subscription. If you would save $40
on every car load of stock shipped
from this county, vote for the sub
scription. If you would lift our
county from the slough into which
she has fallen, vote for the subscrip-
tion. If you would keep our young
men at home, vote for subscription
Well, it is unnecessary to enumerate
the reasons for thus voting. One
thousand of them can be given and
we have yet to see the first objection
that has any reason, philosophy or
anything else in it, except that those
opposed don't want to pay any tax.
The Senate has refused to confirm
Gov. Jackson's appointment of Maj.
+. A. Bennett as one of the Regents
of the West Va. University. Why
the Senate refused to confirm Mai.
Bennett, we are at a loss to know.
He had been appointed before, and
confirmed by the Senate at it's last
session; had served as Regent for
nearly two years, and made a most
excellent officer There was no mem
Der of the Board of Regents that took
more interest in the University, OF
was more capable of giving it intel
ligent direction than Maj. Bennett
and it is a misfortune to the State
that his appointment was not con
firmed. 1t is true, he has a mind oil
his own, and possesses the courage
to do what he conceives to be proper
and is not easily turned from his
purpose, either by eajolery or threats
but that should operate to his advant
age, for such men are needed to al
these positions. -Mouatoia Herald

Tale Of a Crab aud a Horse.

A Celtic fishmonger stopped his
wagon in front of house in West
Twenty-sixth street yesterday after
noon. He jumped from his seat, took
two bass from the rear of the wagon,
and entered the basement door OF the
house. An aged darby shortly after
ward drove a hungry-looking horse,
attached to q collection OF vehicular
ruins, behind the fishmonger's wagon.
He thrust his hands into the ruins,
brought forth two boxes of straw ber-
ries, and carried them into the house
adjoining the one that the fishmonger
had entered.
In the rear of the fishmonger's wag-
on was box of crabs covered with sea
grass. The darky's weird and hollow
eyed horse Razed upon the sea grass
longingiy. Then he shifted it. Sud-
denly he plunged his nose into the box
and got q large mouthful of grass,
which he started to MUNICH greedily.
He stirred up combative crab, which
fastened itself on one of his nostrils.
He jerked his head out of the box,
emitted q wild neigh, and began to
plunge and kick with great enthusi-
asm. The fishmonger and darky APP
peared simultaneously. The fishmon-
ger seemed onvulsed at the antics of
the darky's steed. The darby was ev-
identity displeased.
"Take dat crab often my hOss's
nose," he shouted.
"Take it off yourselluf," said the
fishmOnger.
"I'll smash de crab wifi dis hyar
STICK" yelled the darby, as he picked
up piece of wood that his frightened
horse had kick off the seat of his
wagon.
Lave the crab alone" said the fish,
monger. "Phat the divil's business
had your horse ating my grass?"
AT this critical stage of the dialogue
the crab dropped from the horses nose,
and the fishmonger picked it up and
tossed it into his wagon. The darby
and the fishmonger then drove away.

What He Shot.

A Third street insurance agent went
frog fishing yesterday. His name is
suppressed on account of the good rep
utation he bore up to this time, and on
account of his family. With him were
several satellites of the Four Courts.
The ingredients that they took along
were of the regulation style, and in the
proper proporsion to please all, except
Clerk Henry Bischoff, who complain
ed that they carried too much bread.
They arrived at the pond in fair shape,
and secuted around for game. "Ker-
chunk, Ker-chunk," was heard on all
sides except in front. Every member
Of the party had revolver, borrowed
for the occasion from the -Four Courts
collection Of deodands. The attention
of the insurance man was drawn away
from the work in hand by a debate up
ON the merits Of Chief Sexton. When
next he looked toward the pond he saw
a. beautiful fat frog smiling at him
from a big stone. His sportman's
pride was reused, and in q second
he had aimed, left handed, at the
batrachian.
"Take good aim," said Marshal
Thomas.
"You bet," said the amateur Bogar-
dus, firing while he spoke.
The frog said never q word, never
even blinked.
"You didn't hit him" said one of the
party, advancing, and tipping the
stone, at which the frog fell into ten
feet of water.

his picture taken.

still they doubted the marksman's
skill. even after this mastery shot at a
distance of ten feet; they insisted that
the frog was an acrobat and was as

And go he was.

reached for O scoop-net that had been
brought along for some inscrutable
