Hurry Up That Summer Hotel.

The editor of the New DOMINION
is in receipt of letter from well
known gentleman in Toledo, Ohio,
who after some private matters said:
keep agitating the subject of a
fine summer hotel in your town, for
surely Morgantown has everything
in its favor and it would give you Il
grand boom and be splendid in.
vestment for any one suited for the
business, and also make him lots OF
money. l have visited a great many
fine summer resorts, but know of
none that would equal Morgantown,
if properly handled Business is
booming in this portion OF
the State. In Hancock and Wood
counties oil and gas are as plentiful
as water and coal in Monongalia.
The Standard Oil Company is spend
thousands of dollars daily in this
section and it will only be short
time until they will control every
thing in the United States. Wheat
oats and grass look well; in fact ev
erything is prosperous and thanks to
the people they eat Plug Tobacco
here same as the Morgantown girls
eat chewing gum, therefore | have
nice trade.

Democrats and the Tariff.

The Democratic party has been
killed several times, but somehow
or other il makes wonderful resur-
rections. When it was beaten by
William Henry Harrison in 1910,
the cry was that the tariff question
had destroyed it. -Four years after
wards 1t stood up and elected Polk
on the Texas and tariff issues. In
1S4S the party was once more de-
clared surely dead. The tariff had
done it again and Zachary Taylor
was chosen President, yet in 1852
the Democracy put Franklin Pierce
in the White House, and followed
up its success by electing James
Buchanan. 1t lost the country on
the sectional issues of 1860 1t won
in 1884 and now we are again assur-
ed that the tariff discussion has
buried 1t forever. But the Democ-
racy is a long lived party, and in
1892 history may repeat itself and
the control of the government pass
into its hands. ~. Y. Grapetc.

After His Boy.

During the Christian Endeavor
convention at Chicago, one of the
delegates. a young business man,
dressed in a natty rough and ready
suit, every movement alert and eager,
and telling of bottled energy within,
came suddenly upon a redfaced cit
izen, who evidently had been patron
ling the hotel bar Buttonholing
the delegate a trifie unceremonious-
ly, the latter said: "What are you
fellows trying to do at the Battery
You are hot on temperance, l see by
the papers. Do you think you could
make a temperance man of me?''
NO." replied the delegate, looking
him over from head to feet with q
keen glance, slightly contemptuous
1--WE evidently couldn't do much with
you, but we are after your boy" Al
this unexpected retort, the man
dropped his jocular tone, and said
seriously: "Well, | guess you have
got the right of it there. If some
body had been after me when l was
boy, 1 should be better man to
day."

The Negro Question.

The negro race seems more vital
and tough than their proud Anglo
Saxon neighbors. Statistics teach
us that since the war they have null
tiplied like rabbits in Australia
They outnumber us in several States,
and bid fair in century to out
number the whites of all the United
States. This certainly would be the
case in less period but for the ad-
ditions given us through immigra-
ton. But the time will soon come
when this supply will cease. When
all our now public domain is occu-
pied, and the difference In labor adj
vantages between the United States
and Europe have through supply
been equalized, our ports will not be
crowded with hungry laborers.
What then2
Such mass, not of brutal ignor-
ance, but of brutal habits, is a men
ace to civilization. We are not pre-
pared to Africanize our country, or
to turn it over to the anarchy of
worthless idleness, such as the world
witnesses in San Domingo. What
is the remedy
Certainly not the makeshift of the
South, found in merely depriving the
negroes of their votes. This may be
successful for a time, but cannot be
permanent. The more any class
even the negro-is degraded, the
more dangerous it becomes. The
only hope is that appeal to divine
power which has never failed peo
pie when made in good faith. If,
while denying the negroes their vote,
the South were to make great eff
fort, not to educate them, for that is
not possible, but through the aid OF
God and His church, to give them
moral training, 1t would not only in
great measure avert threatened
disaster, but make an appeal to the
North and the civilized world that
would win sympathy and support,
instead of suffering from hostility
that is as deadly as it is senseless.
Sentiment, however noble in itself,
is dangerous element in the masses,
for it is seldom stirred that it does
not storm. Negro equality is a sen
timent with a large class of we'll
meaning people who suffer without
protest the grossest inequality at the
hands of trusts, rings, and monopo
lies. The men who are marched to
the polls like cattle to vote the will
of millionaire are terribly distress
ed at the negro being deprived of
the ballot
Had the government, in freeing the
slaves, put them on probation, and
admitted them to citizenship only
when they had proved themselves
worthy the privilege, we should now
be saved the vexed condition that
threatens us with such grave conse-
quences But this would have been
an appeal to the intellect of the
South, and the government preferred
an appeal to not only the ignorant,
but the most brutal element.
1t is not education in its popular
sense, but intelligence, that makes
citizen. This cannot be given to the
negro, but we might have given, and
we may yet give, to him that moral
training which our Heavenly Father
has vouchsafed to all humanity, and
in that way render harmless a dan
gerous element.-DeNN PIATT, in
BeJord's Magazine for May

Three-fourths of our people are
troubled with Dyspepsia or Liver
Complaint in some form or other,
which by nature of the disease has a
depressing influence on the mind or

ach or any arrangement of the stom-
ach or liver upon which the whole
action of our system depends) are
speedily and effectually overcome by
the use of Green's August Flower.
The most stubborn cases have yield
ed to it's influence, as thousands of
letters received will testify. The
immense sale of this medicine is
another guarantee of it merits, lover
a million and half bottles sold last
year, So we ask, will it pay you to
suffer from any OF the above diseases
when you can have immediate relief
in the August Flower. Three doses
will prove it's worth. 1t is sold by
all druggists and general dealers in
all parts of the world.

Pitiful Condition of Oklahoma People.

A special from Arkansas City
says: "The suffering Of the baflled
boomers finds most prominent eyi-
dence along the Northern border
Yesterday 1000 wagons on the
march down and 500 wagons on the
way back were counted. The groves
in the Arkansas and Walnut river
valleys that offered camps for the
boomers before the descent are fill
ing again with the returning unfor-
tunates. There are hundreds of
families among them who have sold
everything to make the trip and now
have nothing left. The sight of men,
women and children who are thus
unprovided for and desolate, with
the mere frames Of horses surviving
to drag them along, is pitiful.---
Guthrie still holds the majority Of
population, and is not yet symmet-
rically formed. Oklahoma City is
the most promising town site. Cap
tain Crouch, the old successor to
Boomer Payne, was recently elected
Mayor, defeating a preacher whose
platform was against gambling and
whisky. AS long as whisky is ex-
cluded, as it is now, serious trouble
cannot occur in Oklahoma.

IT COST TOO MUCH.
The Sad Experience Which Befell One
of the Astors.

In the early days of the direct tea
trade with China, importers were
anxious to secure the earliest cargoes
of new crop.
The fastest clipper ships were en-
gagged in the trade. Great haste in
loading them was followed by hot
race to reach New York first.
The first cargo brought the best
price and large profits. The success
full captain was always rewarded, SO
every known aid to navigation was
adopted.
The young captain Of one of Mr..
Astor's clippers bought, on one of
his trips, new chronometer, and
with its aid made a quick passage,
and arrived first. He put the price
of it into the expense account of the
trip, but Mr.. Astor threw it out, in
sisting that such an item of expense
for new tangled notions could not be
allowed.
The captain thereupon resigned
and took service with rival line.
The next year he reached port
long in advance of any competitor, to
the great delight and profit of his
employers, and the chagrin of Mr..
Astor.
Not long after they CHANGED to
meet and Mr.. Astor inquired
''By the way, Captain, how much
did that chronometer cost your
"Six hundred dollars" then, with
quizzical glance he asked.
"And how much has it cost you,
Mr.. Astor2"
"Sixty thousand dollars"
Men are often unfortunate in the
rejection Of what they call new fan
gled notions.
There are sick men who refuse,
even when their physicians tell them
they cannot help them, to take War
ner's Safe Cure, because it is NEW
tangled" proprietary medicine. The
result is they lose-life and health.
Thousands Of other men have been
restored to health by it, as the testi-
monials furnished to the public show.
These testimonials cannot be doubt
ed. The proprietors have stand
ing offer of $4,000 to any one who
will show that any testimonial pub
lished by them is not, as far as they
know, entirely true
Dir. Andrew Wilson, Fellow of the
Royal Society, of Edinburgh, the
editor of Health London, England,
says, in his magazine, in answer to
an inquiry, Warmers Safe Cure is
of perfectly safe character and per-
fectly reliable"
The refusal of q manufacturing
firm to pay for the patent of new
invention by one Of their workmen,
cost them their entire business. A
new firm took out the patent and
were soon enabled to make goods
enough cheaper to drive the old firm
out of business; and many physi-
clan is daily finding his patients,
long time chronic invalids, unac-
countably restored to health by the
use of the new kidney specific. New
tangled notions are sometimes very
valuable, and it costs too much to
foolishly reject them.

Fatal Cyclone In Kansas.

A dispatch from Hutchinson,
Kan, says: "News reached this city
yesterday that the wind-storm that
had been raging for the last three
days had eliminated in cyclone
in the northern part of Pratt county,
extending over the eastern portion
of Stafford and up into Rice county.
The unnelshaped cloud formed be-
tween and s o'clock and could be
seen for miles. The district over which
it passed was sparsely settled, and
but for this fact the loss of life and
property would have been terrible.
The cyclone first struck at point
about five miles southeast of Stafford
and for miles in a northeasterly di-
rection left nothing but barren
waste strewn with the wrecks Of
houses and barns, trees and fences,
with here and there the bodies of
stock either killed or crippled by
the wind.

Beauty Carried the Day.

Last Sundays Washington Post
contains the following article, which
is little bit of romance in official
circles of West Virginia girl, Miss
Alice PAUL, of Newburg, who has
been commissioned postmistress of
that place despite the protests of a
few heelers and would be leaders of
her county. The lady was at one
time a student of the Fairmont Nor
nal school and was well known to
many people of Morgantown, Be
sides being bright and intelligent,
she possesses great beauty. Here is
what the Washington Post says;
There is a gentleman in West
Virginia, who has good cause for
complaint unless, indeed, the roman
tic and gallant side Of his character
is so well developed as to enable him
to forget his own personal discom-
future in the knowledge of the at
fractions of his successful rival.
This gentleman was candidate for
good paying postoflice in his State,
and had been selected for the place,
although the appointment had not
been announced nor the commission
signed. When one West Virginia
worker who happened to be over
here was looking over the files in the
Postofiice Department, among them
he found the application, recommen-
dations and photograph of a young
lady who was asking for this same
place. Something about that pic
tured face caught his eye and he
studied it attentively. From that
he fell to studying the papers and
was satisfied that the young woman
was worthy and well recommend
ed. He took the papers and pic
tHre into First Assistant Post
master General ClaRkson. 1t was
after o'clock in the afternoon
and Mr.. Clarkson was alone and
had time to look at the picture
and hear what the West Vir-
ginian had to say. The result was
that Mr.. Clarkson said to the
West Virginian, Telegraph that lady
to come to Washington The tele-
gram was sent, the lady came, and
when she returned she had the com
mission with her, and the man who
had been FIRST selected for it proba-
bly, does not know to this day how
near he came to the object of his
wishes, nor that the sight Of pic
ture destroyed his chances Most
of the office seekers who have come
to Washington have been men, but
there have been several exceptions"

Wheat Blown Out by the Roots.

A dispatch from ST. Paul, MINI,
says that after blowing hard all day
Monday and Monday night in the
Northwest the wind yesterday in

able damage to buildings and crops.
At Buffalo wheat was in many places
blown out of the ground by the roots.
In other places it is buried so deep
that it will never concur AT Yank-

City Hall rocked so that the council
hastily adjourned and went into the

An Ohio Man Tricked Out of $6, 200.

On Saturday last at Washington
Court House, Fayette county, Ohio,
two confidence men induced farmer
VIM. Coffman to play with them in
trick game of cards and win $4,000,
but before paying it required him to
produce $4,000 to show them that he
was able to pay in case he had lost.
The old man went to the bank and
borrowed $4,000 in bills and returned
to the farm, when, as soon as he dis
played the money, the men seized it,
and with drawn revolvers drove of,
leaving the old man to realize his
situation. He acted promptly, land by
the use of the telegraph descriptions
of the men were sent out Marshal
Duley, of Leesburg, found the men
at New Vienna waiting for a Gin
cinnati train due in seven minutes.
He promptly arrested them and
found Sc, on the person of one of
them, most Of it in the packages as
received from the bank. The man
having the money gave the name of
George Carter, and also had regis
tered at hotel as H. H. Morton, of
Toledo He is about 35 years of age,
wore full brown beard and mus
tache, has even, fine teeth, lips firm
ly set, aquiline nose, and weighs
about $50 pounds. His confederate
Black, was released upon assurance
of men in New Vienna that he was
a well known commercial traveller.
Marshal Duley gets reward of 49,
900 offered for the arrest Of the thief
and recovery of the money. 1t is
thought that Carter is profession
al confidence man, and that he
will be wanted in other places for
similar crimes. He is now at Wash
ing ton Court House jail.
Editors get some queer advice as
to how to run newspaper. Some
times they are taken to task for some
shortening which the accuser him
self becomes guilty of in the very
act of framing the accusation. Here,
for instance, is note we have re-
ceived from lady in which she
mildly upbraids the Standard for not
being more outspoken and courage
GUS on certain public question,
and yet in this very communication
the writer is afraid to sign her name
for she is woman. She chides
US for lack of courage and yet hasn't
the courage to do so over her own
signature. Stand up, gentle friend.

From the accounts lately publish
ed in the French papers, it appears
that Buffalo Bill is likely to succeed
Boulanger in the affections of the
tickle Partisan populace. The $50
Sioux, Commanches and cowboys
who comprise the retinue of the dis
tinguished American are likely to be
quite as orderly, if not more respec-
table, than the followers of the brave
General. After all, what is the diff.
ference? They are both in the cir
Gus business.
