a Word i'm season.

And now they are talking about adj
hitting Washington Territory into
the Union. Washington happens to
have Democratic Delegate in Con-
gress now, and wary Republican spi-
ders of the Senate committee are
more than willing to compromise
with the Democratic House on the
admission of Dakota and Washing
ton at the same time.
The result of this arrangement
would be two new Republican States,
four new Republican Senators, a
Republican Senate from 1887 to 1889
and six certain Republican votes in
the next Electoral College. Wash
ington and Dakota would come in
in 1888 as Colorado did in 1876; and
but for Colorado the HAYES fraud
would never have been consumma-
ted.
The country wants no more raw
commemorative anyway. She has
yet to digest Nevada and Colorado.
And she wants no more crude states
manship. She has yet to forget the
TABoRs and the SHARoNs.
Let Dakota wait; let Washington
wait; let Montana wait. We must
not grow too fast Washington
Post.

Special Correspondence Of the New Dominion.
INDEPENDENCE. W. VA. Jan. go
Seeing you have no correspondent
from this place viii try to tell your
readers something about our place
and the doings of our people.
The citizens of our little town are
busy, energetic people. But many
of our men have been idle this winter
on account of the general business de
preston, and especially the sus-
pension of work at the Irondale Fur
mace, two miles north of here. Last
fall the large smoke stack caved in,
and it was found to be impossible to
repair it. They have torn down the
old stack, cleared away the rubbish,
and Col. Nemegyei. of New York,
1.-THE owner) is here now making ar
rangements to build new stack and
make other improvements. The
furnace is quite source of income
to our people Col. Nemegyei en-
ploys, when the furnace is in full
blast, about 500 men. 1t also makes
good market for all the grain, hay
and vegetables produced on the sur
rounding farms
Our school is progressing finely
under the supervision of Mr.. U. W.
Showalter, of Evansville, as Princi-
pal, with Mr. ). G. Pierce of Grafton,
and Miss Sallie Simpson, ofNewburg,
as Assistants.
Rev. f. NJ. Sapp, pastor of the
Baptist church here, assisted by Rev.
ID. J. Frum, of Shinnston, has just
closed successful meeting here.
Six were received for baptism, and
several more professed hope in
Christ.
Rev b. b. Evans. of the NJ f.
Church, commenced protracted
meeting here last Tuesday night
with encouraging prospects. May
the good work still 90 on.
Our railroad men busted them
selves cutting and packing ice dur
ing the blizzard. And they had
ample opportunity too, for assure
you there was plenty of it. The
thermometers registered from Is to
26 degrees below zero, while the snow
was drifted many feet deep in places,
and our roads were so blockaded
that we got no mail from some of
our country offices for a week.
A great gloom is cast over our
village by the fatal explosion in the
shaft at Newburg, 80 men are said
to be in the shaft, from this place.
As nothing definite can be ascer-
tanned we will not attempt recital
for your readers until later.

The religious meetings that have
been conducted by Miss Jennie
Smith at the Nj. +. Church, in this
place, for some days past, have at
tracted very general attention. They
have drawn together immense CON
gregations composed of representa-
tives of all denominations, of all re-
ligions and those of no religion.
1t is all right that this should be
So Any movement that purports
to be made for the benefit of the
public should receive public atten-
ton and scrutiny. If it proves to
be a pnblic benefit it should receive
public support. If it should even
be of more benefit than evil, it might
we'll claim the support and approval
of the community.
Speaking from a stand point out
side the domain of the church we are
justified in saying that these "relig-
ious revivals,' as they are termed,
are events which deservedly interest
the whole public. They tend to
change the character of men and
very materially alter their business
and social relations in community.
and the esteem in which they are
held by those who sustain these re-
lations to them. We are bound to
admit that they do make men better,
more honest, more trustworthy, more
industrious and thrifty, more I'M
selfish and more useful as citizens
in all the relations of life They
correct the bad habits of men.
Through their influence men cut
off their evil indulgences They
quit Intoxicating drinks. They es-
chew all excesses. They become
humane where before they were bru-
tai. They become kind and loving
husbands and parents where before
they were neglectful and cruel.
They become truthful and honorable
where before they were false and
treacherous. In short, they make
better citizens.
Men Of no religion and of no
church, as well as those who belong
to the christian churches, can there
fore. share in the general public in
terest that is manifest in these meet
ings and all movements of like char
acter. Christianity has been the
vanguard of civilization in all ages.
1t is so to-day; and though we stand
aloof from any active participation
in its work and methods, no good
citizen can withhold moral sup
port.

shows: In 1882 dinner party was
given in New York CITY, Henry G.

Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania sat
at the other, and Gen. w. T. Sher-
man at the head. The General be-

The January number Of the West
Virginia School journal has the fol-
lowing editorial on the West Vir-
ginia University. 1t is worthy of a
very careful and thoughtful reading
by every friend of higher education
in the State Here it is:
In this issue of the journal ap
pears the advertisement of the State
University for 1886. The University
is the highest educational institu.
ton in West Virginia. From this
institution will 20 forth the repre-
sentative West Virginian. and by
him will all West Virgihians be
judged abroad. 1t is part Of the
States system OF schools and by it
and its graduates will educators and
educational work in West Virginia
be estimated West Virginia educa-
tors should therefore interest them
sclves'in the State University. 1t is
gratifying to learn that this import
ant institution is enjoying seasc n
of prosperity with an unusually
bright prospect for future success
and usefulness. and while the Jour
nal congratulatcs the administration
of the institution it wishes it a
hearty God speed and gives com
mendation to its patrons.
Tuition in the University is now
practically free to the young men of
West Virginia. and the advantages
offered are equal to those of the very
best colleges in the land. In fact,
they are superior to a large majority
of the institutions where heavy
charges are imposed for tuition.
With an efficient and faithful corps
OF professors and teachers; II thor
oughly equipped laboratory, museum,
library and other educational facili-
ties, and with its location rendered
convenient and accessible by the
completion of slackwater navigation
and the f.. VI. d =. Railroad the
prospects Of the University are GER
tainly much more fattering than
they ever were before.
President Turner has demonstra-
ted the wisdom of the Regents in
last June when they put a head on"
the institution, for Ivy his exertions
and energy the number of students
has been largely increased and the
standard of education at the same
time has not only been maintained,
but has been raised still higher
The University work ought to be
and is the highest character of
school work. This fact should not
excite the envy or jealousy of work
ers in other departments of cduca-
ton. The University should not be
regarded as rivaling or competing
with other State schools. The school
system of the State must be harmo-
NOUS in all its parts and form one
unique whole in order to make it
efficient and useful There is no
more reason why there should be
riyaly between the Normal Schools
and the University than there is for
rivalry between the professional and
other schools of the University.
The University is the capstone, so
to speak, of our educational struct-
ure. Its foundation is in the solid
bedrock of our free American insti-
buttons. The superstructure towers
majestically heavenward, and whilst
we admire the utility of the whole
we delight in the superior beauty of
the browning piece. With admiring
gaze we look upon the artisans toll
ing on the lofty columns and wish
them an abundance of success for
1885.

The mine disaster at Newburg
has its lessons as well as it's sorrows.
There are no deep shafts or very ex-
tensive mines in this county, but
there are some extensive enough to
collect foul air and poisonous gases.
Firedamp does not collect in them
to any very great extent, perhaps,
but it does collect to some extent,
and wherever it exists it is danger
Gus. A fresh air passage could cas-
lily be made by the steam boring
process which has come into general
favor If anything can be done to
lessen the dangers of our miners it
ought to be done speedily.
There are various devices for de
tecting the presence of fire damp.
The latest successful invention for
that purpose is very remarkable.
The Scientific American in its last
issue describes it as follows:
ut consists of pair of balances,
each having at the beam recepta-
Gle containing a given quantity of
hydrogen gas; the receptacles are
duly counter balanced. The moving
parts of the two instruments are
electrically connected; and when
properly adjusted, any motion of one
balance will instantly affect the bal
ance of the other instrument, no
matter how far apart the instruments
may be located. Thus, one instru-
ment may he placed within a coal
mine and the other in the superin-
tendent's Office Should an inflow of
fire damp occur in the mine, the
beam of the balance will instantly
turn, carrying warning signals and
alarms wherever wanted, together
with information to the office show
ing the degree of change in the at
mosphere of the mine. Ample time
thus will be afforded, whether in
night or day, to secure the safety of
the miners; and the condition of the
mine, whether safe or dangerous, will
at all times be indicated by the in
strumcnt The general adoption of
this admirable invention will put an
end to those appalling horrors Of the
coal mine, by which so many lives
are now annually sacrificed, and so
many families reduced to misery"
