A special Washington dispatch in
the Philadelphia Times says: Con
gresham Thomas, of Wisconsin, has
been trying to get Presidential
Postmaster removed on a charge of
offensive partisanship, and Postmas-
ter General Wanamaker told him
that he and the President had been
talking the matter over and agreed
that an efficient postmaster was not
to be removed merely for partisan
ship. Senator Wilson, of Iowa, went
to Mr.. Wanamaker for the removal
Of another partisan postmaster
Although it was shown him that the
offender was the editor of Demo-
cratic newspaper and had abused
the Republicans all through the
campaign. Mr.. Wanamaker would
not consent to his removal unless it
we're shown that he managed his
postofflce badly.

Beware Of the Foey!

There is a secret in building towns.
Do you know what it is? If you do
not you can work out the problem in
the following|manner: Take two town
sites; let one be beautiful location,
with all the natural advantages pos
sible, and the other none of these.
Take five hundred old fogies and
men who do not believe in giving
capitalists anything for risking their
town-and put them on the good
site. Take 200 good live energetic
get up sort of fellows who never let
an opportunity pass to advertise
themselves and their town and set
them on the poor town site. Then
watch these two towns for the next
i've years and you will readily catch
on to the secret of town building.
The trouble with Morgantown is
that there is too much of this fogy
business here and on more occasions
than one it has killed the hopes of
the wide awake and vigorous of our
population for material improve
ments of a beneficial character.
Lately we have had some very
plausible propositions for big booms
put before us, and happily the fogy-
ism Of which we have such a gener-
Gus supply has not asserted itself,
and to those whose interert are at
stake which would be affected "back-
ward by it we warn to be on the
lookout and crush the fogy to the
earth until the matters referred to
to are more certain.
The new court house, the water
works and many other matters may
have havoc played with them if the
fogy gets finger in the pie, and
therefore we say to be untiring in
stunning that species of the genus

A venerable, much beloved, and
noble fellow citizen Has fallen bit Of
the ranks.
For more than four score years
Frederick A. Dering moved among
this community bearing the highest
respect and confidence OF his fellow
men; with no stain upon his exalted
character; with no faint Of evil at
taching to his public or private life;
maintaining correctness and prob
ity of conduct in all relations of life
which no man has dared question;
earning the good will of everybody
and the enmity of none; and dying
regretted by everyone, and with
probably, not an enemy on the face
of the earth.
When such man goes out from
community with his hallowed in
flucncc and splendid example, it is a
public loss that can scarcely be es-
timated and about which too much
of good cannot be said.
There was no man who ever came
in contact with the deceased either
in business or a social relation but
felt the influence of his manly char
acter and purity of purpose. There
was no one of us who passed him on
the street and exchanged the cour-
tesies of the day without feeling a
sense of veneration for his character.
In every circumstance and rela-
ton of life he recognized just two
courses of conduct-one was right
and the other wrong. There was no
middle ground. There was no split
ting of differences. There was no
fine diplomacy. There was no bland
ishments, or dallying or finching.
With all the intensity of his nature
he accepted the right and adhered
to it with tenacity of purpose that
could not be shaken; that could not
be persuaded, or trifled with. 1t
mattered not what the consequences
were, or what other men did or said
as for him one course was right and
the other wrong and there could be
no compromise.
No one was left in doubt about
where he stood. With a positive
ness that amounted to abruptness he
moved straight forward in his course
looking neither to the right or left.
We might say that this decision ran
at times, into rudeness of manner
which in other men would have seem
ed like great discourtesy, but it was
accepted as the spontaneous express
sion Of thoroughly honest nature
Men moved away under his rebuke
with no feeling of malice, but rather
with heightened respect for his
manly character.
In this day of the world, when pol
icy and pretense and hypocrisy are
so common among men, the example
of such character as that of the
deceased is of so much value to the
world that its loss impresses us as a
public calamity. But the influence
of the life and character of Frederick
A. Dering will not entirely pass
away with the close of his long life.
The fragrance will long remain to
bless his race while he is enjoying
his exceeding, great reward.

truth, that some people we're kicking
oh the watcr-works proposition, but
we didn't see their heels nor any
marks or damage done.
Let US look at this proposition
from business standpoint: TO pay
5000 a year, will require that ten
cents more be assessed on the one
hundred dollars Of taxable property.
That 10 to say, the man who pays
taxes on 81 900 will pay 81 for wa
ter. But as matter of fact his
taxes will not be increased by rea-
son of the water tax at all. 1t is not
the intention of Council, we under
stand, to increase the levy, but sim
ply to curtail expenses in some 9th
err direction. So that we will pay for
the water and not know it. We will
have an acquisition which cost some
body else thirty thousand dollars,
without investing cent that we will
miss or not get full value in return
We will have an acquisition such as
Clarksburg has just paid fifty thous-
and dollars for, and nobody will know
that it has cost him penny.
But more than this, there will be
expended right here among our peo-
pie within the next three to five
months, from fifteen to twenty thous-
and dollars in hard cash, which will
go directly into the pockets of our
laboring men. That is to say. that
more money will be brought here
and spent here for water works with
in the next five months than will be
paid out by the town in the next
twenty years should the town con
tinue to pay 5000 per year for that
length Of time.
All this is outside of the many
other benefits the water-w works will
bring us. AS business proposition
t is one Of the best things this town
WAS ever offered--and that it will
prove to be the most advantageous
to the town in material sense, we
confidently predict
If any man does not believe that
with our present acquisitions and
advantages as town we are going
to grow, he is pur-blind and stupid.
He is no prophet.
The New DOMINION desires right
here and now to enter on record the
prediction that before twelve months
more there will be signs of improve
ment in this town greater than we
have ever seen; that within the next
twenty-four months we will have ac-
quired new population, capital and
business; and that within the next
five years there will be more new
buildings and new enterprises started
in this town than ever heretofore
within twenty five years.
? just paste that prediction in your
hat.
Our trumpet has never yet given
q false sound.
The fact is people are bound to
come here to live. There's no other
town like it,

Merit always wins in the long run.
Hence it is that the Muskingum
Steam Laundry's customers are rap
idly increasing in number. Its work
is its best advertisement. Mr.. Wa
tiers, the proprietor, is constantly
adding improvements and conven-
fences, the help employed is all ex
perienced, and the work turned out
is first class in every respect. No
chemicals used in washing to injurc
the finest linen. Mr.. A. Bowers,

kingum Steam Laundry, will for
ward all laundry. Take your laun-
