The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1886-02-20

On another page Of this paper we
publish a very full account of the
first incoming and outgoing railroad
train that ever entered or made it's
exit from Morgantown.
The event marks an epoch in our
history that has no parallel in point
of Importance with any other hap
pening that we have been called to
record.
AS furnishing journal Of events
that shall constitute complete and
faithful history of this community,
the NEW DOMINION, therefore, seeks
to give this event the high promi-
ncnce it deserves.
We believe that future generations
will verify our assertion, that there
has heretofore been no occurrence in
our history, from the date of the in
corporation of this town till now,
that will 50 largely affect the future
of this community, as the opening
of our railroad.
There is no man in our midst who
will not be more or less affected in
all his property interests, whether
he feels any special interest in the
event or not. 1t is an innovation
that will be all pervading in its in
fuence. 1t will bring about most
radical revolution in all our bust
ness, social and personal concerns
80 radical and so universal that no
citizen of the community can entire
ly escape it.
And we are glad to say that our
people fully appreciate it. There is
no man 1--WE take this for granted J
who does not hail this new era with
a deep sense of satisfaction. Every
body is glad to be freed from the
blighting isolation under which, as
community, we have so long vainly
struggled. And we believe that our
people will be ready and quick to
profit by every advantage it brings
us.
There was no man, woman, or
child, who witnessed the majestic
sweep of the locomotive across
Decker's creek for the first time,
who did not feel new desire to live,
and new ambition in life.
All hail to the grand old Iron
Horse!

Does bad air kill more people than
whisky?
Probably not. But bad air kills
more than any disease to which hui
mainly is subject.
More people die from consumption
than from smallpox, or from cholera,
or from typhoid fever, or any com
mon epidemic.
If in any community in this land
there were as many persons sick
with any known disease as are actu-
ally sick with consumption there
would be alarm about it,
But who ever thinks to remark
about the deadly scourge, consump-
ton, which he meets every day on
the street, and which enters, sooner
or later, almost every home.
That's matter of course. No
body thinks it less in order for PEG
pie to die of consumption than of old
age,
Yet, consumption is the direct,
natural and inevitable effect chiefly
of one cause-bad air.
The recklessness in the matter of
breathing Initiated air is most singu-
lar, astounding-and in the case of
intelligent people utterly inexplica-
bic.
Think Of intelligent, fastidious
people sitting for hours in public
room where the atmosphere has been
breathed over two or three times,
and composedly taking this filthy
element into their lungs. The ma
jority of these people, if one should
blow his breath in their faces, would
turn away with disgust if not sense
of sickness. Nevertheless these same
fastidious, intelligent people will sit
down in the midst of crowd of peo-
pie in tight room, and they will
take into their lungs for an hour or
two, an atmosphere that has been
filtered through nasty, rotten teeth,
that bears the exhalations of foul
stomachs, and of diseased lungs, and
of fevered blood, and of putrefying
catarrh, and of all the other corrupt
ing influences to which an atmos-
phere has been subjected that has
gone in and out the nostrils of pro-
miscuous congregation.
Intelligent Christians will some
times shut themselves up in such an
atmosphere in a church, here they
send up petitions to the Deity, and
wonder why there is no answer to
prayer, and why everybody is so de-
jected and cast down, as if the Deity
would visit such an atmosphere as
that, any more than he would hear
the mutterings of men befuddIed
with whisky.
We go into our temple of justice,
where the judge is sitting content
eddy in an atmosphere that would
stupefy and befog the brightest in
tellect, and attempting to admins
ter justice" under such conditions
We see jurors go to sleep in the
midst of grave responsibilities, by
reason of the Supplying influences
of the air they are breathing, and
we wonder at the slips of justicew
We see these things day by day,
and then we wonder why so many
people die of consumption. Is it
not wonder that so many people
escape consumption? Why, the at
mosphere we are compelled to take
into our lungs sometimes, would rot
leather

Butte semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1886-1890, 1886-08-28
A L

A gentleman residing in this city has sent
a communication to this journal over the
non de plume Miner" in which he COM
plains that the local papers, while ready to
record the Inauguration of every new en-
terprise, the opening up OF new mines and
the completion-of new mills, smelters, ETC.,
in Butte, and vicinity. all OF which tend to
direct a flood of laborers in this direction
and over-supply an already over-stocked
labor market, they have. failed to note the
recent shutting down of mills and the
stoppage of work upon certain properties
in the district, which if known abroad
would discourage miners and laborers else
where from leaving good situationsto come
to this place. This we believe is the gist Of
Miners" complaint.
To this we would answer that as far as
III knowledge extends the local press has
faithf lily given all the news obtainable con-
corning the matters OF which "Miner"
speaks. It is true the local newspapers
have not taken rumors of the number OF
men discharged at this or that mine or OF
the closing down OF certain works as facts
until they were satisfied they were facts.
When these were established, The MINER
for one. has not hesitated to report them.
Our correspondent will understand, how
ever, that it is not in the province Of a
local paper to exaggerate what too often
proves imaginary evils, having no existence
in fact, and Tat possessing generally
means Of information not enjoyed by out
side parties it will fail to notice that which
to the uniformed observer appears as a
matter OF very serious import.

THE TIMBERLINE SITUATION,

A special to The MINER from Helena,
which appeared in this paper yesterday
morning, is capable OF a construction not
strictly warranted by the facts. The dis
patch referred to, spoke OF a strike at Tim
berline. In reality the situation is the
very opposite OF a strike-a lock out. The
coal miners had no grievance, it vas the
Northern Pacific Coal Company, through
it's representative and manager Vice-Presi-
dent Built, who ~inaugurated what has.
aside from actual strife, been a matter OF
~aggravation and pickering on both sides.
At an attempt OF the miners OF the place
to form a local organization OF the knights
of Labor, Mr.. Built objected and re-
fused to give the members employment,
claiming that as an employer he had
the right to discriminate against any or
g~anization, be it Odd Fellows, Masons,
Knights OF Pythias or any other, If he saw
fit. The Knights OF Labor refused to dis
band and those not members refused to
pledge themselves not to join and the re-
suit was q lock out OF the men on the part
OF the coal company and an effort to secure
other persons in their stead. This effort
has thus far proven u%navailing, Hundreds
of men have been brought to the Territory
but many were persuaded to leave trains
at points on the road and others arriving
on the ground either joined hands with the
locked out men or let for more inviting
fields. This has been the situation for
nearly two months. The latest phase is
the closing down entirely of all operations
at the place by the coal company.

Resolved, That the action Of a Republi.
can United States Senate in denying Mon-
lana admission into the Union as q State
i worthy Of the great party Of which We
are humble members, and commands our
warmest approval.
Resolved. That we unreservedly com.
mend the course OF Republican Administra'
tions in a~ntagonizing silver as q circulating
medium; that we fully indorse the action
OF Sherman, Mccullough, Window and
other Republican United States Treasurers
in keeping standard silver dollars out OF
circulation in direct violation of law; that
we hailed with delight the repeated recon-
mendations OF President Art. UT in his mes
sages to the National Congress for the re-
peal Of the Bland Act OF 1878, and the de-
mOnetizati0n of silver; and that the per-
sistent hostility shown by past Republic
IAN Administrations to silver and silver
coinage should be emu!ated by the present
Democratic one.
Resolved, That we propose to enter into
this canvass with our banners and flags
unfurled upon which will be emblazoned
these time honored tenets of our faith:
Down with timber cutters on public
lands" Statehood to Montana denied"
''Give the rest of the public domain to rail-
road corporations" '.Demonetize silver"

PLATFORM PLANKS.

While our inventive evening contempt
rary is engaged in making planks for Dem
ocratic platforms, it may as well manufac
ture a few for the use of the Republican
Territorial Convention which will meet III
Butte the 10th OF next month. In case
our esteemed contemporary is too busily
engaged just now in attending to the affairs
OF the Democratic party to turn it's atten-
ton to the necessities of it's own, we re.
spectfu)ly offer the following. with the sug-
gestion that, as they embody a part OF the
history Of the Republican party and reflect
the views of its leaders, they should be in.
corporated in the Republican platform in
order to preserve it's consistency and to
emphasize the policy which the party has
pursued during the past quarter of a CEN
fury:
Resolved, Thatit is with feelings OF pride
we point to the record made by the Repub
lican party through it's Secretary OF the In
terror, Carl Schurz, upon the question of
cutting timber upon the public domain for
mining or domestic purposes.

wood in the vicinity of Helena and at
other active centers throughout the Terri.
tory, which he claimed was cut upon the
public domain, and for which stumpage had
not been paid.
Resolved, That he had our hearty sup
port in the employment of timber spies
and informers whose duty It was to prowl
around newly made settlements whose
honest, hardy toilers Of the soil were build
ing homes and adding taxable wealth to
the Territory, and when such spies and in
found ranchmen engaged in cutting
timber upon the public domain for domes- |
tic purposes to seize such wood and report |
the offender to headquarters. for punish
ment.
Resolved, That the sight of the United
States Marshal OF the Territory accom-
by a small army OF deputies, scour-
ing tho forest at our doors for signs OF
cutting upon public lands was a
most pleasing spectacle to us and COM
handed the admiration of every miner
md rancher in Montana.
Resolved. That We are particularly

HON. J. K. TOGLE.

As was expected Mr.. Toolew was nomina.
ted by reclamation by the Democratic Terri.
torial Convention which convened at Helena
on the 24thinstant. Mr.. Toolc earned this
fiattering recognition OF his services to the
Tel ritory at the hands OF the Democratic
party. He went to Washington an entire
stranger, he labored faithfully, persistently
and intelligently for the interests OF Mon.
tana; he returned honortd and respected
by all. Notwithstanding the Indifference,
amounting almost to GOODNESS, with which
every administration treats the requests
of Territorial delegates, Mr.. Toole &C.
complisbed more for Montana thar could
be reasonably expected OF any man. In
deed he was SO persistent in his demands
in all matters wherein theinterests OF Mon
tana could be advanced, that one OF the
heads of the Government departments
said: "He felt like conceding to MIR. Toole
everything he wanted when he saw the per
affable and polite young delegate
from Montana approach him."

AMONG the multitude of conventions
which were held throughout the country
day before yesterday it is refreshing to find
one that had a good word to say for Presi-
dent Cleveland. The Ohio. the Iowa and
the California Republican Conventions
eacn fired off a broadside of gall and bitter
ness at the Chief Executive and the Admin
istration, but the Farmers Convention,
now in session in st. Paula convention
composed OF the bread -producers of the
land, horny-fisted toilers of the soil, in
whose honest hearts there is no guile-had
only words OF commentator for President
Cleveland. The thanks of that body OF
honest grangers are OF more worth to him
than the fulsome adulations of a score of
conventions, and will be remem-
bered by the people while the assaults of
enemies have long been forgotten.
