The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1889-10-26

If the members of any class OF
calling in a community deserve fair
and honest treatment from their
fellow citizens, assuredly they are
its merchants. They contribute
their full proportion to meet the
municipal expenses, and to the sup
port OF schools, churches, and all
other public institutions. They are
first to be called on and most liberal
to respond when money is wanted to
attract new industries, to improve
the conditian of any local organiza-
ton, or for any social or charitable
purpose. Their expenditures con-
tribute to the business success of
every other class. Their prosperity
reacts upon and adds to that Of
every other member of the commun-
ity in which they live and labor.
The conclusion follows that it is
not only the public duty but the
private interest of every citizen,
male and female, to patronize the
merchants of his or her own town;
that heads of families, or those who
handle the purse strings, should see
that their money is expended where
it will do its part in building up
and maintaining the trade which is
an absolute requisite to their own
and the general prosperity. No one
is asked to make any sacrifice Of his
Tor her) pecuniary interest Our
home merchants are provided with
stocks of the choicest goods, ample
in variety, and at the same prices
for which they are sold in the cities
even lower. The idea
that purchases may be made at
lower prices in a distant city than
in prosperous country town is
Pigment of the Imagination. 1t
springs in most cases from childish
notion that things at distance are
in some way more desirable than
those found at home. The opening
of the Pittsburg Exposition and
the consequent low rates of railroad
fare have given special stimulus
to city buying. The class of pur-
who are in the habit of pay
ing spot cash are not the only ones
who are quick to avail themselves
of this opportunity. Too often
those who have long traded ON cred
it at home, leaving old bills unpaid,
purchase a cheap excursion ticket
and HE away to the city to invest
their ready money; and for the next
week these people are seen frequent
ing the home stores in search of a
spool of silk to match a particular
shade, or half yard Of dress goods
to piece out pattern that has
proved too short. 1t behooyes all
thoughtful men and women, by Civ
ing their business patronage to their
own fellow citizens, to perform their
part in the maintenance of vigor- |
Gus prosperous, and selfreliant
community.

A great project is on foot for a
railroad through the interior of the
state. Very little has been said
about it yet, but it is known that
Senator Camden is the moving spirit
and that the road will probably start
from Buckhannon. Some tremen-
dous real estate deals have been
made on the strength of it, and some
big fortunes will be made or lost
The development of West Virginia
will he something remarkable in the
next few years. 1t is the best state
in the Union not to go away from.

We would be glad to learn just
what work the State Emigration
Board is doing. Can't Secretary
Butcher tell us something about it?
Now is the time to push. West
Virginia has made wonderful strides
in growth and development but
strong efforts should be made to
accelerate her speed. The present is
also Morgantown's opportunity.
Let the Chamber Of Commerce con
tinue its work vigorously. Morgan
town can more than double her pres
ent population in the next FIVE years
II she will try.

A twelve ounce to the pound, fraz-
zled- mouthed coward, living in this
county, refused to take his paper
from the office last week, claiming
that during the election we publish
ed falsehood on him. 1t is not
necessary for us to say that this sau
cer-eyed hypocrite and liar is de-
feated candidate and to-day we re-
joice in the fact that our ballot and
influence assisted in consigning him
to his political grave, there to remain
until Beelzebub experiences "boy-
cot' when he will be called into ac-
tive service. Raleigh linden.

1t requires a string of freight cars
three and three quarter miles long
each day to carry the freight in and
out of Wheeling. The total amount
for the year will reach 100000
tons. This is a great showing for
West Virginia's little metropolis.

Our Great Danger.

In stirring speech in New York
recently the Hon. Chauncey F. Black,
of Pennsylvania, raised a danger
signal, of which every patriotic citi-
zen of the United States should take
special heed. He said
"What is the fact? All that is
left of local liberty, of personal lib
erty, of State rights, of home rule,
of freedom in trade, of purity in cleo
tions, is due to the conservative ef-
forts of the Democratic party 10 de-
fend the Constitution of 1857 against
the assaults of covert enemies of the
nation now united under the name
of the Republican party, loudly
clamoring for the public good but all
the time working for private gain
and increasing the burdens of the
many for the benefit of the few The
majority Of the people are against it
to-day, but it has become so intrench
ed by unjust laws and by the usur-
patton of power, and the deliberate
plot to place the Senate as an OBJ
struction to reform, that it is now
more apparent than ever that Samuel
j. Tilden was right when he said it
would require majority of at least
two-thirds of all the people to dis
lodge the ursurpers from their for
midable entertainments"
In the result of the last election
the country had foretaste of what
must come if the people do not rise
up and by a mighty effort crush the
life out of the rapidly growing mon
ster, Plutocracy, that has their lib
critics already within its Tightening
folds. With 100000 majority on
the side of Democracy and constitu-
tional government, in that contest,
the minority won through the power
of money. A few rich men carried
the election their way against the
people. Every victory makes the
rich and powerful few richer and
more powerful and the mass of the
people weaker and poorer. 1t will
not be long at this rate until the
prophetic words of Samuel j. Tilden
will be actually realized, and two
thirds majority of all the people will
be necessary to snatch constitution
al government from utter destruc.
ton.
This is the first mission of the
Democratic party, to preserve gov
ernment by the people, for the people.

Mr.. John w. SchaetIer, II farmer,
residing in the vicinity Of Zoar, four
miles east of this place, committed
suicide at his home at seven o'clock
Monday morning by shooting him
self through the head with a pistol,
The ball entered just above the
right temple and passed out the
other side of the head. After break
fast Mr.. Schaeffer put on his over
coat for the purpose, as his family
suppose, of going out, but instead
went to his room, and in few min
utes the fatal shot was heard. When
found he was lying unconscious on
his bed. A physician was summon
ed, but Mr.. Schaeffer was dead be-
fore he arrived. No cause is assign

A paper must receive patronage in

A paper must receive patronage in
order to be first class, and first class
patronage consists in mans pay
ing his subscription in advance. In
nearly every town there are people
who are willing to lend their moral
support to a newspaper, but in q
final wind-up moral support dosen't
pay for printing, paper or ink. There
are people who come in and subscribe
to help you along. but who fail to
think that unless they pay for theiI
paper they are asking you to lend
them so much cash. There is food
for reflection in these few lines.

Prof. J. w. jerks. of Illinois has

Prof J. W. jerks, of Illinois, has
devoted much study, to roadmaking
and much time to formulating what
he calls his Road Legislation for
the American States"
Mr.. jerks declares that on Illinois
roads a full load for a two horse
team, can only be carried for three
months of the year, two-thirds of a
load for three months, and half a
load for six, and he estimates that
in that State the roads cost $15,-
346,0 900 in extra hauling and reduce
the value of farms at distance from
the railroad depots by 100000, 900.
If Illinois were to spend $250,000,-
600 ON good roads the total interest
ON this sum would still leave enough
Of the sum now spent on hauling to
build a new State capital every year.
And we do not suppose 1t is much
more in Illinois than it is in West
Virginia.
