Kingwood Argus.

Col. Nemegyei, the great protec-
zionist of Irondale Furnace, has fail
ed to make good his promise to his
men since the election of Harrison
and Protection. He promised his
men if they would vote for Benjamin
Harrison and Protection they should
have two dollars day and beef
steak three times day." That is
what Harrison and Protection would
do for the poor laboring man. This
was very tempting offer, and the
Argus would advise all laboringmen
to vote for the party that would give
them two dollars a day and beef
steak three times a day" Well, the
Irondale workingmen voted for Har-
rison and Protection and they are
now out hunting for the 1.-TWO dol
lars day and beefsteak three times
a day. for Col. Nemegyei has closed
doacn the furnace with no prospects
of an early resumption, as our high
protective tariff contemporary, the
Journal, would remark

the workingmen who are thrown out
of employment, hut has nothing but
contempt for those who fooled them

Quav's Unhappy Lot.

According to an interview with
Senator Quay telegraphed from Pitts
burg to the Philadelphia Press, a re-
publican paper, the experience of the
astnte chairman of the republican
national executive committee with
the office seeking fraternity has been
anything but happy one. Hesays
they commenced coming to my house
before breakfast, and kept it up in a
steady stream until midnight Mr..
Quay expressed the belief many of
these men are insane on the question
of getting an Office, and do not real
ize what they are doing The Penn
sylvania Senator is OF opinion that
the large number of these office-seek-
ers are not representative members
of the party. but rather the scum
He SAYS there are more Office seekers
this time than ever before, for all
the men who were put out four Years
ago want their old places back, and
there are dozens of new applicants
for each Office. Many of those who
contributed of their means to the re-
publican campaign fund with the
hope Of being reimbursed by pull
at the public crib will not feel com
plimented by being characterized as
scum by the chairman of the re-
publican national committee.

THE YELLOW DEATH


WASHINGTON, April 24.--An Asso-
ciated Press reporter saw Surgeon
General j. B. Hamilton to-day and
had talk with him concerning the
case of yellow fever reported at San
ford, Florida. and the possibility of
a spread of the disease. Said Mr.
Hamilton: II learned of the appear
ance Of yellow fever ut Sanford from
two sources. Yesterday from a
special agent who has been travers-
ing the State since the subsistence Of
the plague of 1883, and from Dir. r.
2. Daniels, President Of the State
Board of Health. This fact shows
that there will be no attempt made
to conceal the presence of the disease,
as was done last year, and such be
ing the case the danger is largely
reduced. The fear and panic ex-
acted by the knowledge that the
true condition of affairs is being sup
pressed, do much more harm, in my
Judgement, that the fever ITSELF
what are the probabilities Of
another outbreak of the disease this
year?'
Il should not be surprised if there
we're considerable number of cases,
The danger chiefly lies in those
towns and cities which escaped the
plague last year. In the places that
were visited then, there is large
proportion of the residents who have
had the fever and are therefore safe,
who can remain to nurse and care
for those who are sick that the dis
case may comparatively easily be
controlled"
Are You prepared to manage an
outbreak should it occnrY'
Yes; much better than ever be-
fore. Camp Perry is in such condi
ton that it can be put into opera
tion at once, but it will be much bet
ter if we do not have to fill up ref
ugees' camp. To do this would tend
to create a panic in the surrounding
towns, and that is the most difficult
thing for us to CONTROL

4 49,
In Louisiana i is proposed 70 hold
state road convention, called BY the
Governor with a view of securing
better turDpikes. The Rochester
Herald suggests a similar conven-
tion in New York state, urging the
circulation OF literature bearing ON
the question among the farmers and
recommends the subject to the con
sideration of the Legislature. Com
menting on these facts the Elmira
Gazette and Free Press observes:
"Good roads serve more than
purposes of pleasure. They are fac
tors in the economic condition of the
State and alone may determine
whether the yearly balance is on the
right or wrong side of the farmers
ledger. Good roads facilitate the
movement of his produce to market.
He is able to take advantage Of any
sudden rise in prices when with poor
highways the weather might prevent.
The saving in the wear and tear of
vehicles, harness and animals repre-
sents no small figure. Facility of
transportation is an important item
which farmers will do well to con
slider and in furthering judicious
measures to that end they benefit
themselves to far greater extent
than appears upon the surface.
Our Elmira contemporary pictures
things just as they are. Our farm
crs shonld consider them Wilkes

Good Roads Again.

The Leader has on more than one
occasion of late called attention to
the necessity and economy Of good
country roads, and it knows that
many people, not few of whom are
farmers. have applauded the expires
sions found in these columns con
corning the efforts that should be
put forth in putting the roads into
good condition and the profitable in
vestment of money in such a needed
enterprise. Not a day passes but
some newspaper reterates the gener-
al demand that is making not only
in this but adjoining states for good
roads. 1t seems to be a subject that
is pressing Itself upon the minds of
our people everywhere, upon our leg
islators and upon our enterprising
Governor. Our own Executive, Gen.
Beaver, has already been heard in
the matter in an eloquent plea for
a highway system that will guaran-
tee good roads at all times of the
year. Governor Hill, Of New York. in
many public addresses, has called at
tention TO the condition of the coun-
try roads and suggested organized
effort looking toward their perma-
nent improvement. That better
country roads are needed is undis-
puted and that the advantages to be
gained are worth the effort is equally
plain.
Other states are moving along this
line. Vanderbilt University in Ten
nessee offers to instruct, free of
charge, one highway official from
each county in road engineering.
The course of instruction includes:
Lectures and practical work on
the economical location of highways
to conform to conditions Of topog-
raphy and traffic; principles of con
structiou of new and Of reconstruc-
ton Of old roads; and OF mainte-
nance and repairs; methods Of drain
age; simple highway structures, re-
tanning walls, culverts, simple
bridges, practice in field sketching,
simple plating and draughting, In
strumental location and computing
estimates Of cost; study Of systems

The action of the new Commits.
sioner Of Internal Revenue in remov-
ing every Democrat in his Bureau,
from Chief of Division to common
laborer, and filling the places With
rampant Republicans-six of them
from his own State of West Virginia
affords another instructive con
trast between the promise of the
President and the practice Of his
subordinates.
1t is well to keep before the people
the words Of Gen. Harrison's letter
of acceptance:
In appointments to every grade
and department, fitness and not party
service should be the essential and
discriminating test, and fidelity and
efficiency the only sure tenure of
office. Only the interests of the
public service should suggest re-
movals from Office.
There is no charge made that some
of the subordinates in the Pension
Office and the Internal Revenue Of
flee did not meet the Presidents
test Of fidelity and efficiency" Nor
is it claimed that the appointment
of six Of Commissioner Mason's rs
sistants was made for fitness and
not for party service" These new
men were appointed because they
were active Republicans and friends
of the Commissioner, and for no 9TH
err reason. The interests of the
public service" are secondary; the
'claims" of partisans primary.
President Harrison appears to be
no exception to the rule of practical"
politics, to promise one thing and
practice quite the reverse.-N. y.

A Summer Hotel.

A summer hotel in Morgantown
would draw better than Oakland, or
Deer Park, or any point on the B. Il
o. Road.
There is nothing at any of those
points but mountain air-nothino
else but monotonous loafng and
WEAKNESS and disgust 1t would kill
an ordinary man to live at Oakland
during a summer season. 1t is
little better at Deer Park. but there
is nothing but hotel which soon
becomes tedious.
While we have at Morgantown
nearly all the conveniences and ad-
vantages of city life, we also have
the mountainnir. We are not crowd
ed. The mountains loom up in sight
all around us A pleasant drive of
five or six miles will put the visitor
right on the mountain Our nights
are cool. We never suffer from the
heat. We have no mosquitoes. We
have no malaria. We have beauti-
full, inspiring and varied scenery, of
which one never grows tired. We
have splendid pool for boating.
We have delightful drives. We have
hospitable, cultured society, good
churches and healthful, tasteful
surroundings. We will shortly have
mountain spring water, as pure and
soft and health giving as any min
eral spring. We have also mineral
springs of several varieties within
reach. We will soon have daily
line of steamers which will furnish
delightful excursions for visitors.
And if there is anything else we
haven't mentioned as an inducement
to summer resort, we probably
have that too.
We believe that summer visitors
who would come to Morgantown
once for the hot season, would con-
tinue to come. They would not
grow tired of it. They would find it
easier to put in the time here than
at the majority of summer resorts
that overflow with visitors every
year. We have no doubt that we
would soon become famous as ga
lovely, pleasant little town where
everybody likes to go" This is al
most the unanimous verdict of those
who have visited the town hereto
fore. They appreciate it much more
highly titan we do.
All that is lacking is Summer
Hotel. Visitors come here every
summer to 60 away disappointed in
not finding suitable quarters. A
Summer Hotel would fill up spon-
taneously. There would be no need
of drumming and coaxing guests. |
They would come with pockets full
of money ready to pay flrst-class
rates for first class board and no
grumbling. Pittsburg would send
them by the hundred. They would
all want to come up to the head of
navigation for Il breath of fresh air.
The ride on the river would be an in
ducement. They would avoid the
dust and heat of the cars which they
must encounter in going any other
direction. 1t is a convenient dis
lance from the city where business
men could send their families, and
then on Saturday evening go to bed
on the boat and wake up at Morgan
town next morning to spend Sunday
with their families; go to bed on the
boat again that night and be at home
Monday morning ready for business.
1t would be an ideal summer retreat
for Pittsburghers, and we doubt,
il one hotel would accommodate the
demand from that city alone.
But in addition to Pittsbure, there
