The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1889-03-02

Our perilous system of giving
credit has been built upon the scar
city of ready money, until to- day the
business Of our country is mainly
done on credit.
The manufacturers give credit to
the jobber, he in turn to the whole,
saler, and the credit scheme runs on
down through the retailer to the final
consumer.
This keeps the commercial trans.
actions Of the country etethally in
the air, where IL rests on the ticklish
framework of general confidence; let
this fragile and uncel tain support
give way at any point, and the whole
structure is liable to come down
with crash, and universal panic
ensues.
The general adoption Of the credit
system is proof positive that there is
not money enough in circulation to
carry on the business of the country,
for il there was, this credit expedi.
ent would not be necessary, for it is
an expedient and compulsory make
shift, and nothing else.
The bankers who have come into
control Of the money that belongs to
the people, are forever solemnly
warning us that if there was large
per capita amount Of dollars in cir
cnlation, everybody would rush into
speculation, and all sorts of disas-
tiers would ensue.
This prediction was not verified
at the North during the war for The
reason that it never was . time OF SO
great prosperity, and there never was
so much money ip circulation either
before q since

Wilson and Rowe the Alleged Robbers,
Tell Conflicting Stories.
pittabure Commercial Gasette. .


Special Officer Harrison, who ar
rested John d. Wilson ard s. III.
Rowe for supposed completely in the
shooting and wounding Of L. X. St.
Clair, said that both men told con-
nicting stories to him about their
whereabouts on the night Of the
shooting. Rowe, when arrested on
Monday evening, told the officer
that he and Wilson had walked to
the East End on the day they were
in Williamsburg and then took ca
ble-car for down town. Yesterday
Rowe said that they had gone to Nc
Keesport from Williamsburg on the
night of the shooting and had re-
NAMED in that place all night.
Wilson was arrested before he had
an opportunity to converse with
Rowe, and when asked by Officer
Harrison where he spent the night of
the robbery said he slept at home
He was then asked to name the
night he and Rowe had spent in Nc
Keesport together. He replied on
last Friday, which is a contrary
statement to that made by his part
ner. The accused, when told of the
crime for which he had been arrest
ed, became exceedingly nervous, and
according to the officers statement
could scarcely stand without sup
port. He is well known steel work
er Of this city, but has not worked
at his trade for some time past. He
is a son-in-law of Joseph Spencer, of
the firm of Spencer 4 Iiddell, and
for many years resided in the Twelfth
ward.

A Victory for Parkersburg Lady.
State journal.


Last summer Mrs. DR.. Hall, of this
city, was appointed by the Commits
sioners from West Virginia to look
after West Virginia's exhibit and
interests at the Cincinnati Centen-
NAL, and they promised to see that
the Legislature made a suitable al
lowance to compensate her. When
the question came up in the House,
Mrs. Hall went down to Charleston
to look after her interests. The claim
made in her behalf by the Commits
sioners was all allowed yesterday by
the House. A telegram from Char.
lesion says:
"There was an entertaining varia-
tion in the dull routine when the
claim of Mrs. Jessie C. Hall, ef Par
kersbufg, was considered undef the
form of al amendment. Mrs. Hall
was assistant superintendent of the
West Virginia exhibit at the Cincin-
natl Centennial, and is as fair as a
full blown rose. Jack, Of Gilther
county. was the only man who could
summon up enough courage to OPP
pose her touching appeal and he
blushed violently while doing it.
Finally he stated chat he was willing
to agree to anything that the House
in its wisdom would decide. Mr..
Peck had short interview with the
fair plaintiff and announced his con-
version. The House was captured
and the claim of $3.50 was incorpor-
ated in the bill"

Declivity Of Rivers.

A very slight ieslivity sufliees to
give the running motion to water.
Three inches per mile, in smooth,
straight channel, gives velocity of
about three miles an hour. The
Ganges, which gathers the waters Of
the Himalaya mountains, the lofti-
est in the world, is at 1900 miles
from its mouth, only about 800 feet
above the level of the sea, and to
f IL these 500 feet in its long course
tie water requires more than 4 month.
The great river Magdelena, in South
America; running for 1000 miles be-
tween the two ridges Of the Andes,
falls only 500 feet in all chat distance,
above the commencement of the 1000
miles it is seen descending in rapids
and catatacts from the mountains.
The gigantic Rio de Ia Plata has SO
gentle descent to the ocean that, in
Paraguay, |, 800 miles from its mouth,
large ships are seen which have sail

Breathing and Thinking.

Let any reader think for moment
of what he experiences when he
breaths, and attends to the act
He will find that his whole frame
heayes and limbs are all actu-
ated by his respiration. Now let
him feel his thoughts and he will
see that they, too, heave with the
mass. When he entertains long
thought, he draws long breath;
when. he thinks quickly, his breath
altethates with rapid alterations;
which the tempest of anger shakes
his mind, his breath is tumultuous;
when his soul is deep and tranquil,
so is his respiration; when success
initiates him, his ldngs are as timid
as his conceits. Let him make trial
of the contrary; let him endeavor to
think in lohg stretches at the same
time he breathes in fits, and he will
find that it is impossible; that in this
case the chopping lungs will mince
his thoughts.

Proper Horse -Shoeing.

A veteran blacksmith has the fol.
lowing to say on the shoeing Of
horses:
TO many people horse-shoeing is
simply putting the shoes on the
horses feet TO those who do the
work it is a particular and artistic
piece Of work. The frog in horses
foot should touch the earth at every
step. 1t is constructed for that pur-
pose. If the shoe is set to prevent
this it soon withers and decays just
as any other part of the body will
do under like circumstances The
result is contraction of the heel
and consequent lameness,
1t is a fact that over one half of
the horses are unsound because of
blemishes below the knee. The
calks should be sharp for icy wealth
er. But they also should be short,
so the frog or cushion may press the
ground a. every step.
For heavy horses the "bar" shoe
is used to considerable extent.
The shoe has cross bar from the
two pc ints of the heel of the shoes,
and allows the frog to rest ON the
cross bar. These shoes ere also used
on horses where the frog has been
inhumanly cut away and does not
reach the ground.
This is also one reason why the
..tips," MS they are called, are coming
back into use. They allow the foot
to strike fiat on the earth. They are
a style of shoe that is put on the
fore part of the foot and reaches hit
part way back.
1t is no wonder horses walk in a
peculiar way when they come out Of
blacksmith shop after being fresh
" shod, as they have been treated
in an unnatural manner.
