industries of the city, and by offering
an inducement for stock raising, will
help to bring about system of diver
sified farming in this great wheat
producing section, and thus become
an important item to both city and
country.
A canning establishment, furni-
ture, and a manufactory of products
from straw is needed. Any one maxi
ing business of any of these will find
here an excellent opening.
Morris is inhabited principally by
people from the eastern and older por-
tions of the Union, and the society is
of the best. Instead of coming here
for speculative reasons only, these
people come here to establish homes
for themselves and their families.
They have built residences, many of
them costly ones, surrounded them
with trees and shrubbery and made
them attractive, built churches and
established schools, and have made
every preparation for permanent
home. The Catholics We're the first to
erect church. Their society is now
in a fiourishing condition. Besides
having a large membership, they
maintain parochial school which
now contains over sixty pupils. In
addition to the church society has
built an elegant residence for the par
ish priest, and another smaller one
for the teachers of their school.
The Congregational church was
built four years ago, the Episcopal
church three, and Methodist church
two years ago. These churches are
all free from debt, and the societies are
all well sustained and are growing.
The
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
are the pride of all. The school build
ing was erected four years ago, at
cost of $4,000. There are at present
four departments, each under the
charge of an experienced teacher. The
High School is established under the
law of the state, and is in most pros
porous condition. The school is grow
ing so rapidly that an additional
building and additional teachers will
be needed for the summer term. In
Morris none of that roughness and
disregard for law and order is found
which is peculiar to many western
and rapidly growing towns, but, in
stead, her streets, homes, churches,
SCHOOLS and people have the appear
ance of older and more fully developed
cities.
In addition then to country un-
surpassed in fertility, a soil adapted to
diversified farming, the most health
full climate in the world, lands easily
obtainable, opportunities for manufac
turing, speculation or trade better than
are offered by any other place in the
west, Morris invites new comers to
settle where churches, schools and all !
the advantages of older CITIES are es-
tablished, and cordially welcoms them
TO a place among her refined and cul-
tared people. All the advantages of
new countries are here combined with
those of the old. For people wishing
new homes, no place more desira-
BILE than Morris and Stevens county
can be found i'm all the great North
west.

The Cumberland NetOs of Thurs.
day contains bit of "insids news
concerning an attempt to seduce Gov.
Hamilton into making an appoint
msnt to supply the vacant seat on the
Bench of this circuit. Mr.. Walsh is
represented as averse to accepting the
honor, snG Aessrs. Gordon and Will
liams a. willing but not anxious. Mr..
Thomas E. Gondsr, however, through
the medium Of friends, was in frame
of mind both consenting and solicit
Gus. But the governor, who is no
admirsr officially of youth even
among his friends, did not bite and
the bait was withdrawn. The pur-
pose Of promotion thus sought did
not stop with Mr.. Gondsr, but
through him Mr.. Georgs G. Mckay
was to be again elevated to the school
e1aminsrshlp. This ls assumed lar
thsr upon the ground of Judge syes-
tsr's reputsd antagonism to Mr..
Coshrans. With the News we hope
Mr.. Gondsr was not cognizant of the
use designed to be made of HIM. To
Us it appears creditable to him that
he made haste to withdraw his appli-
cation, thus perhaps disavowing any
hand in the scheme. The Bench
ought to be far above the handling Of
manipulators. In the exercise of its
function of appointing school COM
missioners it would be its duty to Sc.
lsct gentlemen without regard to who
or who should not be elected exami-
ner, especially since this function of
appointing the commissioners them
selves is one Of doubtful constitutional
propriety.

A CLIPPING from the Philadelphia
Record, elsewhere printed, states the
situation in nutshell. Without ex-
citing public belief in their insincerity
corporations can no longer ignore the
existence of labor organizations by
refusing to to treat with their repre-
sentatives. Borrowing the idea from
our national and State governments,
both representative in form, the
"brotherhoods" of labor are entities
of indebted virtue and force.
with faces get squarely against
the corporate ideas of "Russianizing"
our republican system. The long
or, therefore, the companies persist
in treating great questions involving
popular rights with fimsy evasions
the more surely they will precipitate
movement which ,oiN bring them to
their senses. Perhaps no event of
this character has so thoroughly
aroused thssympathy Of the American
people for a striking" class as has
the cavalier attitude of the telegraph
companies toward the operators-this
in spite of the supposed unpopularity
of the strike" as means of redress.
Boards of trade and stock exchanges
have expressed their warm admira-
tion for the dignity and sarnestness
with which the telegraphers have re.
sisted the injustice forced upon them.
Money has been offered them in aid
OF the movement-all of which goes
to show an uprising of vigorous sen.
timent against corporate dictation.
1t ia more than probable, therefore,
that seeing the tendency of this feel.
ing the corporations may yet have to
break the alabaster box of precious
ointment over the heads of the
brotherhood" aud hathe their feet
with capitalized tears.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

Why THE WESTERN UNION HAS
No FRIENDs.-It is difficult to over
estimate the proportion of the water
to the cash in the amount of capital
on which the Western Union is pay
ing dividends. Beginning in 1858
with paid-up capital of under
100000, the scrip dividend that year
was 447.7 per cent. Four years later
water was further added to the ex.
tent of 27,26 per cent. In 1868 two
more dividends of 1888 per cent.
brought the nominal capital up to
$7,950,000. Thus in FIVE years

The people Of Port Deposit, Md,
have been oontesting before the Board
Of Public Works the building of B.
& o. R. bridge over the Susquehanns
at that point. on the ground that it
will injure if not destroy the water
trade of the town. The dispute be-
tween the railroad company and the
people has grown to some dimensions
and the governor is in quaudary. He
wants TO be solid with the people Of
Port Deposit and at the same time do
no injury to bis own interests as a
stookholdsr Of the railroad company.
Hence, he is standing ,qusrely on
both sides Of the fence. He main
tains his right as governor to sit in
the case. but denies his right to vote.
This action is thought to be more re-
markable since his conduct several
years ago,with reference to the famous
crossing case in Cumberland, when
he assisted in deciding against the
new road reaching the canal. But he
was not then engaged in a slight-of-
hand sndsavor to inveigle the people
Of Maryland into inviting him to run
for denomination, and failing in
which, to furnish him with lofty ex-
cuss to bolt the ticket and run inde-
psndsntly.

$7,500000 of dividends over and
above ordinary dividends had been
received by stockholders. For the
purchase OF the Pacific telegraph COM
pany's franchises stock was issued for
$1,279, ,260; for the United States
company, $7,2l6, 300; for the Ameri-
can company, $ll,833.lo0; for the
American Union, $l5, 100000; for the
Atlantic and Pacific, $8,40o.000, be-
sides $l5,o00,000 of stock for the is
sue of which the courts are Eow call
ing the Western Union to account. 1t
is asserted that Of these $5S,000,000
mot more than $l2,000,000 repre-
sented actual investment" OF the
present nominal capital of $50, 900, 900
certainly more than half represents
nothing but water" This fact it is
which disposes the public to decline
to sympathize with the Western Un-
lou in its troubles. Having it in its
power either to increase the wages of
its employees or charge less for mes
sages it does neither, but waters its
stock so as to absorb its extra profits
in new dividends.

A SATELLITE, Nor A RIvAL.-The
Baltimore and Ohio company, which
seems to be a satellite rather than
rival of the Western Union, expresses
willingness to treat and deal liberal
ly with individual operators, but re-
fuses to recognize their organization.
This is foolish position for corpo-
ration to take at this time of day.
Organization of labor as well as of
capital is one of the prominent indus
trial features of the age. 1t is def
mite and fixed fact of the greatest
magnitude, which will not disappear
nor grow less because corporation
chooses to ignore it's existence. The
operators have an unquestioned right
to organize for the defense of their in
terests, and in the presence of such
power as the Western Union company
this right becomes a most obvious
necessity. Without organization they
would be at the mercy of a corpora
ton that in the unscrupulous exercise
of its power and privileges has never
shown any regard for the rights of its
employees or the interests Of the pub
lie, instead Of foolishly ign oring or
seeking to break down labor organizl-
tions, the part of wisdom in employ
srs is to enter into friendly conference
with their representatives for the ad-
justment CT disputes on terms of fair
ness and justice. One of the first
steps toward putting an end to this
conflict is for the companies to recog-
nizs the existence of the organization
of telegraph operators and then will

AN APPALLING calamity, in which
sixty-fve. persons lost their lives, oc-
Cured about 10 o'clock last Monday
night at Tivoli, about fourteen miles
down the Patapsco from Baltimore.
An excursion of the members of the
Church of Corpus Christi, visited the
place for day of enjoyment. On
leaving the grounds about two hun
dred people gathered on the pier
waiting to take passage on the barge
to return to Baltimore. The weight
Of the people was too much for the
decayed pier and it gave way, pre-
cipitating over 100 persons into the
water. A wild cry of agony rent
the air as The unfortunate excursion
lists went down amidst the debris of
the pier, and the desperate struggles
for life began. Many were injured
by falling timbers many sank into
the water from exhaustion, and others
were pulled down to watery grave
by those who were drowning. The
scene beggared description, Most Of
unfortunate persons were young peo-
pie, among which were mothers with
infants in their arms. Much disti ess
prevails in the homes CT the unfortun-
ate,
