SLACKWATER TO MORGANTOWN.
Work to be fiesiimed-Liyely Contest
at No. s.
Correspondence of the Standard.

New GENEVA, PA, March 90
About the first Of April work, which
has been suspended since December,
will be resumed on the government
contract at lock and dam No. 5. 1t
is expected that over 200 hands will
be employed and that the work will
be pushed vigorously in order to
complete it by December next. The
last appropriation by Congress for
this improvement was 500, 900 which,
it is thought, will be sufficient to
finish it. The opening up of naviga-
ton to Morgahtown will wrest from
New Geneva its old time glory of be
ing at the head of slackwater navi-
cation, and will supply an important
link in travel and freight transport
tation between Western Pennsylva-
MIA and West Virginia.
In this connection, an interesting
contest is going on among the en-
ployes about the new lock. The SUI
perintendent is one George Brown,
Of Pittsburgh. When the work of
construction is in progress he super
intends it and gets $l20 a month.
When work is suspended in the win
ter time he acts as Waterman and
receives $50 a month. Mr.. Brown
is at present not resting easily of
nights owing to formidable effort
that is being made to depose him
from his position. Some time ago
charges affecting his personal and
business character were made, un-
known to him. Those engaged in
the scheme employed Uniontown
attorney to formulate the charges
and send them on to U. S. Engineer
Merrill at Washington. The attor-
ney forwarded Merrilps reply to
Josephus Minor (Provance), but the
letter fell into the hands OF another
Joe Proyance, who carried it around
week or so and showed it to parties
uOb III Tic ScCTel. III Iuls way Tie
scheme leaked out aud reached
Browns ears, causing him to organ
ize counter movement Fresh afii-
davits against him have been sent
in and the fight is becoming hot.
Among those said to be at the head
of the movement against Brown are
W. X. Maple and Josephus Minor.
Brown says the charges are merely
trumped up by men who are after
his position. There are several can
didates out with petitions for APP
pointmcnt as lock keeper at the new
lock, which pays about $50 month,
and they and their friends are
watching the outcome Of the contest
very closely, as the superintendent
recommends the lock keeper for APP
pointment. G. 8. Kussart, johnson
Mallory and Cbas. Williams are cam
didates for lock keeper.

EFFECTS OF PROTECTION.
The Educational Campaign IL Carried
Forward by Barons.
Baltimore Sun.


The most persistently urged of all
the arguments put forth by Republi-
can orators in the last campaign was
that the triumph of that party would
insure to American workingmen the
advantages of protection, which was
interpreted to mean higher wages,
and that on the other hand, Demo
cratic success would lower the wages
of American workingmen to the level
of the "pauper labor of Europe"
The Republican party succeeded
and has now been five weeks in pow
er, yet from Pennsylvania, to which
the protection theorists point with
most pride as an illustration of its
benefits, come reports Of reductions
in the wages of puddlers and other
iron workers, as well as miners.
The latest of these reductions is at
the Columbia, Penn and other iron
works in Lancaster county, where
the notice of the reductions is accom-,
panied by threat of indefinite sus-
pension of work. Many thousands
Of workingmen who voted for pro
lection and high wages thus find the
very results coming to pass that
were predicted from Democratic sue
cess

Talmage on Newspaper Men.

Encourage newspaper men, for you
know what ai.noyahces they go
through. Their most deliberately
prepared articles sometimes thrown
out because Of pressure on the col
umns; expected TO make accurate re-
port Of some speaker who is so indis-
tinct of utterance that the entire
discourse is one long photographic
guess; the midnight that tinds you
asleep demanding that they be wide
awake: their most careful work de-
famed by one careless typesetter;
their lives ground out between the
wheels of oui great brain manufac-
tories; siekened with the approaches
of those who want newspaper com
mendation or retraction; now called
on to sketch q funeral and now a
pugilistic encounter; shifted from
place to place by the sudden revolu-
tions any day liable to come i'd any
journalistic establishment; precari-
Gus life becoming more and more
precarious. Be affable to them when
you have no ak to sharpen on their
grindstone. Discuss in your own
mind what the nineteenth century
would be without the newspaper,
and take every opportunity to cheer
all who have anything to do with
this great interest, from the chief of
the editorial staff down to the boy
who throws the morning and even
ing paper in your basement window.

A Public Benetaetor,

who is II. II. Warner, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, whose Safe Remedies, es-
peciaily Warmers Safe Cure, have
attained such success and celebrity
at home and abroadY
The question IL inspired es much
by affection as Curiosity, since
through his fundamentally hun
dreds of thousands, in both hemis-
pheres, have been restored to health
and happiness.
Hon. III. ii. Warner, then, is lead
ing and honored resident of Roches
ter, not only, but prominent and
influential citizen of the United
States. On several occasions chosen
by his party as a National delegate
to nominate President of the Repub-
lie, he has been member of the
Republican State Committee and Of
the Executive Committee. He is a
member of the American Institution
for the Advancement of Science;
President Or the Rochester Chamber
of Commerce; a successful and up
right business man. He has given
away fortunes in charities. The
celebrated and costly Warner OBJ
servatory of Rochester was conceiv-
ed, endowed, and is maintained by
him. His munifcent prizes for the
discovery of comets has been at once
the wonder and delight of the scien-
tifc world.
The yellow fever scourge in the
South, the Ohio foods, the fire dis
asters of Rochester and other cities
awakened his profoundest sympathy
and in each instance his check for
from $500 to $4,000 swelled the sew
eral relief funds. Where other
wealthy men give tens and hundreds,
he gives hundreds and thousands.
His charities are as ready and
magnificent as his enterprises and
public spirit are boundless.
The world has need Of fhare such
met,
An incident led him into the man
ufacture of medicine. Seized some
twelve years ago with what the ablest
physicians termed fatal kidney dis
ease, be was miraculously restored
to health by what is now known as
Warmers Safe Cure. At once he re-
solved TO make known the merits of
SO potent remedy, and the conse-
quence is that to-day he has i'm
mense laboratories and warehouses
in the United States, Canada, Eng
land, Germany, Austria, Australia
and Burmah. Sales of his Safe Rem
edies are enormous and their power
over disease is simply marvellous.
The merit Of production is in
exact keeping with the character of
its producer. An honest and reliable
man himself, Mr.. Warmer makes
honest and reliable Medicines
fact abundantly attested by their
phenomenal efficacy and popularity.

Food for Reflection.

The New York Worid Of February
9th, says.
THE question rs to how much OF
what they pretend to know doctors
really. know is very interesting ono.
They possess exceptionally great
facilities for humbugging, and the
presumption is that they are not
proof in most cases, at all times at
least, against temptation to make
use of them. Their profession comes
as near being an esoteric one ~
any that is acknowledged to be re-
spectacle But the revelation as to
their views in the Robinson arscni-
cal poisoning cases in Boston is
startling.
There were five deaths from the
drug, and the doctors in their certifl
Gates attributed them respectively
to pneumonia, typhoid fever, menif1
gifts, bowel disease and Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys. The truth
would have never been known but
for suspicious with which the doe
tors had nothing to do. There il
food here for refection-and for
doctors
The above criticism fully warrant
ed by the startling ignorance shown
by the attending physicians IN the
Somerville Cases. Z
1t can be aptly said that human
life is too often sacrificed to the ig
norance and bigotry of the profess
sion.
Too often it happens that fatal re-
suits follow an improper course Of
treatment--the physician treats the
patient for consumption, general de-.
bility or for nervous disorders, whilst
the real disease, which is slowly de-
stroying the kidneys and filing the
system with poison quite as dead
ly as arsenic is altogether overlook
ed or does not attract attention until
too late.
Physicians too often treat the
symptoms of disease instead of the
disease itself.
1t is we'll established that four
fifths of the ordinary ills which be-
set humanity are the results Of dis
ease in the kidneys which will yield
to the curative properties of Warmers
Safe Cure if timely used, and to il
alone. What 10 apparently a disease
in the other organs is more often
times a mere symptom of kidney
disease, which should be quickly
eradicated by Warmers Safe Cure
before it secures too firm a hold on
those organs.

A Charleston dispatch says that
it is learned from the best Republi-
can sources that the Republican
members of the Legislature will not
obey Gov. Wilson's call for the as
sembling of that body in extraordi-
nary session to settle the gnberna-
torial contest, because, as they al
lege, they do not recognize Wilson
as Governor and can make more pc.
litical capital by refusing to come
than by obeying the call, on the
ground that if Wilson is permitted
to stay in the Office he will, by his
alleged craftsmanship, drive many
Democrats from the support Of the
party in the next canvass. If they
refuse to come on the call they will
not give this as their excuse, but
will take the ground that there is n
conspiracy to seat Fleming without
regard to the evidence which may be
before the Legislature in the trial of
the contest. But the minority of the
State Senate-twelve Democrats
will be on hand, and they will, 1t is
said, be armed with ample power to
send the Sergeant-at-arms of the
Senate to the remotest parts of the
State to bring in by force the recall
citrant majority.--.Sptrtt of Jefer-
son.

The Future Coke Centre of this Country

WEST Virginia. an able and prac-
teal miner and geologist, writes the
Times Monday as followsi
'srhe enterprise OF ex-senator Cam
den in completing the formation of
two companies with paid up capt.
tai stock of 100000 for the pur-
pose of building railroads and devel-
oping the coking Goals of West Vir-
ginia, shows that the coal territory
Of the young mountain State is be-
ing rapidly brought into market.
"The limited area Of the famous
Connellsville coal coking basin, be-
ing only 33 miles long by three miles
wide, now supplies a large per cent
age Of the coke now used in our iron
industry. This heavy demand upon
it will at no distant day exhaust
that celebrated coal basin. 1t is as
natural for capitalists to invest in
the coal territory of this State as it
is for water to run down hill. At
the beginning of the next century
she will have taken her position in
the front rank of the coke producing
States in the Union.
"As the result of the action of
water wearing down and disintegra-
ting the surface of the earth and
rocks with which it comes In contact
thus exposing to view the upper coal
seams that can be mined above water
level, the lower seams will have to
be shafted for, but with the aid of
machinery this can be easily accom-
plished.
'In the first decade of the new
century, this State will have cos.
mopolitan mining population exca-
waiting the black diamonds, iron ores,
limestones and fireclays from her
mountains to supply the increased
demand Of our iron and steel indus
tries The slopes of those mountains
will be dotted with cottages and the
fertile soil cultivated to bring forth
the fruits of the earth. The tall
pines and oaks that have stood the
storm of ages past will give way for
the church and school house. And
chimes of Christmas bells from their
spires will mingle with voices of gen
erations yet unborn from her rugged
mountain tops and green pasture
valleys, swelling the chorus of the
plains of Bethlehem. Peace upon
earth and good will towards men.
Onward and upward is the march of
civilization under the memorable law
of the survival of the fittest."

Biggest Job They Ever Heard or.

There vas some kind of a medical
society holding meeting at the
Grand Pacific Hotel, and it set the
boys in the office talking about sur
gical operations and the big and i'm
portant ones they had heard OF.
Enoch Whipple and John Kelley
were on watch, and were having a
lively debate while Paul Gore was
trying to figure up mans bill. The
cashier, finding he could not get a
satisfactory solution of how much
the guest owed for three days and a
quarter at $3.50 per day, took hand
in the talk. He told how an oculist
he had heard of once took mans
eve out of the socket, scraped it clean
and then put it back again as good
as new. "That amt circumstance

Jefferson's Ten Rules.

Jefferson's ten rules are good yet.
They are short and concise, and en-
body so much of value, that it would
be well if they were clipped and put
where we could see them often.
They read as follows:
L. Never put off till to morrow
what you can do to- day.
2. Never trouble another for what
you can do yourself.
3. Never spend your money before
you have it.
A. Never buy what you do NOT
want because it is cheap.
5. Pride costs more than hunger,
thirst and cold.
g. We seldom repent of having
eaten too little.
7. Nothing is troublesome that we
do willingly.
s. How much pain the evils have
cost us that have never happened.
8. Take things always by the
smooth handle.
10. When angry, count ten before
you speak; It very angry, count a
hundred

Row up Salt Rirei'.

Knowing that pharse, whether
slang or otherwise, scarcely, if ever,
comes from nothing, but has a dis
tinct origin from some significant
fact, the origin OF the phrase at the
head of this article suggests itself
to MS as worth looking up. The ex-
preston has become so very general
throughout Our country, and the
meaning is known to fybdoy, even
to the smallest child, yet the origin
is comparatively unknown.
Capt. William Fullwood, gentle
man we'll versed in lore of various
descriptions, and accounted as good
authority on oil stories of modern
date, stated that he had heard the
story of the origin of the pharse,
but did not remember the precise
time Of the campaign, expressing the
opinion, however, that it must have
been at least as long ago as 1850.
1T was in Louisville he said,
"and the election returns from Ken
lucky were coming in rapidly, heap
ing Up an immense majority for the
Wings. The opposing party seemed
Respondent, and complained bitterly
of the fraud and corruption in count
ing the ballots. The Wings told
them to take a row up Salt river,
which empties into the Ohio several
miles below Louisville, and get re-
turns to suit themselves, or, in plain
English, to go to the devil, or to the
regions popularity supposed to be
ruled over by that black angel. As
Salt river, although good harbor
at it's mouth, is difficult stream
to navigate, and almost impossible
to get out Of when once in, on ac-
count of the high banks on either
side oft, the idea appeared to be
that the defeated candidate and ad
herents would never be heard from
again If they took voyage up Salt
river The pharse was just what
the successful party wanted to hurl
at their discounted opponents, and
in short time spread over the coun-
try like wild fire, until it was in the
mouth ofeyery body"

EARLY TEMPERANCE WORK.
How the First Society West Of The
AlIeghenies Was Organized.
Uniontown Standard.

Mrs. Eliza Wilson relates an in
teresting Renaissance Of the first
temperance society organized west of
the Allegheny mountains. In 1882
Rev. DIR. Ashbel Green Fairehild
came to Fayette county from the
east to become pastor of the Old
Frame and Tent Presbyterian
churches. Jessie Evans then lived
at Springhill in a stone house which
still stands and operated the Spring
hill furnace. Mr.. Evans was pow
erful man physically and mentally
and his influence was felt on every
topic of public interest which at
tracted the attention of the commu.
nifty. He soon became an efficient
aid to his pastor. Temperance So
cieties were all the rage in the east
at that time but~ere unknown among
the good whisky drinkers of the re-
gion where DR.. Eairchild labored
and when he and Evans announced
their intention of organizing one at
the Seventh Day Baptist church at
Woodbridgetown, howl of indigna-
ton was raised against them. Threats
of personal violence were made should
they persist in carrying out the pro-
gram, and the opposition vowed that
they would break up any meeting
which should assemble for that pur-
pose at all hazards.
On the day set for the initial
meeting a good congregation gath
cred inside the church, and crowd
of toughs collected on the outside.
Evans and the preacher were late in
coming and the champions of whisky
were just beginning to congratulate
themselves that they had frightened
them off when they rode up and
hitched their horses. Evans ply
steal powers were well known and
the crowd considered before making
an assault and while they were de
batting q plan Of campaign Rev. Fair
child and Mr.. Evans went In and or
gained their society. 1t prospered
and did good work in the communi-
ty. The toughs continued to blus
ter awhile but soon subsidized. Mrs.
Wilson who relates the incident is
in her ssth year having celebrated
her S7th birthday on the third of
last September. She is tho dahgh-
ter of Jesse Evans who figured as one
of the principal movers in the forma-
ton of the society.
