Gen. Wilder interviewed In
Regard to the G. G. 4 G.
1t Will Be COmpleted--NOw for the
Steel Plant.
From Yesterdays Comet Extra.

Johnson City is irrepressible and
bound for greater things. Now is the
time to move for the steel plant.
The cheering news announced by
telegraph this morning gives promise of
an early revival in the construction Of
the Charleston, Cincinnati & Chicago
railroad.
Necessity is the mother of inven-
tion.p The stockholders of the 3-C's
railroad have come to that point where
they must act or lose all investment by
a public sale Of the road and property.
They choose an amicable agreement
by which work will be resumed at an
early date.
Than this there is nothing more
gratifying to the people of johnson
City, whose faith in the road has been
more or less shaken since its sus-
pension last fall.
Owing to the fact that there have
been circulated so many erroneous re-
ports regarding a reorganization and
resumption of the work, COMET re-
porter started out in search of Gen.
Wilder to present to him the tele-
graphic news and to question him re-
garding the correctness of the report.
The reporter first met w. p. Harris,
former superintendent of the Three G..
| Co., presented him with the news, with
the question "What do you think Of
that@ to which Mr.. Harris replied,
after scanning over it: "1 frankly be-
| lieve that is true" Mr.. Harris state
ment was based upon the fact that the
stockholders have been faithfully EN-
deavoring to come to an agreement on
a plan of reorganization, as has beer
stated in The COMET from time t.
time.
In another place will be seen wha
H. II. Carr, who has just returned
from New York, has to say about tn
news.
Gen. Wilder was found at the Ca1
negie Hotel. He was not surprised t
see the report. Itis what he has bee
looking for. fsissf $50
The General wenton to say that ha

suspension Of the road !, that it was b

have nothing here but switching
place unless you get something here
by which to utilize the coal and iron
which is piled up so abundantly about
you"
This is a point for the steel plant
move, and it is wisely put by a
wise head who can see far enough to
know what is required to make this
a great and influential center of indus
tries.
Going further, he said that the
agreement now announced was not
unexpected, that he knew it would be
necessary for the stockholders to make
it, that it was the only means by
which they could hope to save to
themselves the large amount invested.
He further said that he had just
learned, through Col. Gordon, Chief
Engineer Of the s.. A. & o. Railroad,
that the Leissing Company of Penn
sylvania capitalists, are going.to put in
four hundred coking ovens near Big
Stone Gap, purposely to supply fur
naces with the Big Stone Gap Coke,
said to be the finest in the world.
The General remarks that it will re-
quire the products Of two hu ndred OF
these ovens to supply the furnace
here, and that as soon as the 3C's can
be finished to Moccasin Gap, we can
haul coal and coke direct from Big
Stone Gap to Johnson City.
1t is his idea that we want the sc
chiefly for the coal and coke it will
put at our doors, enabling us to enter
into the manufacture of iron, thus tC
utilize our natural resources.
He very appropriately conveys
the idea that the steel plant
is now the most important thing to bt
considered by our people. The Three
C.'s road will be built without ques
ton. The main object is to have a stee
plant and other industries by which
we can bring together the coal anC
iron which will be united by the fur
ther construction of the Three O.
road.
The people of Johnson City mus
not let that steel plant pass by. w
will have no use for railroads unles
we have something to haul over then
To let the steel plant go elsewhere dt
stroys any demand for the coke afte
the railroad has reached it. There
no advantage in being switch var
center, as Cen. Wilder puts it. W
must have industries. Without thel
> a railroad is dead thing; withor
them we are powerless to get money
without them we can never hope
4 make city. Nor will dreaming brir
us the things needful; it requires sa
rifce, it requires action. Let not
y man falter in the work for the ste
plant, and we can rejoice the mo
g that so many good things are comil
to us.

"Nym Crinkle," in the New York
Recorder, has the following to say on
the subject of introducing more pro
nounced moral training in the public
schools OF our land. This is. a question
being agitated a great deal Of late, and
everything bearing upon it is received
with interest:
Let me remark that the public school
question can hardly be treated at all in
the touch-and-go paragraph, One can
only set down conclusions he can not
crowd all his ideas into the newspa
per. Having studied the school ques-
ton patiently for years, ] have ar
rived at certain convictions. If they
are worth anything here they are:
The system is in the main intellect
ually benefcent But to be socially
conservative of the essential elements
of domestic and national prosperity il
ought to aim not alone to make sue
cessful men, but virtuous and patri,
otic men. To say that the present Grad
grind system of grading pupils on al
arithnetical basis has tendency tt
increase their respect for their parents
or to give them a clear view of thu
value of the home as political unit
or TO develop their veneration fo
things that are ideal and spiritual AM
beautiful, is to fly in the face of the ma
tue ofsthings.

deserts only when they found that the
swindlers had played a practical joke on
them by sending them waste paper in
stead of the spurious money they paid
tor; or rather they got part of their de-
serts.
The exposure of this phase of hypocrisy
is not without its value after all. Unfor-
tunately the deiuded rascals and simple
tons are usually afraid to squeal, and we
cannot tell how many they are. They
must be numerous or the business would
not be profitable enough to offset the risk
involved. 1t would be interesting if the
practitioners Of the swindle would tell us
how many proportienately to the number
they set their bait for in country village
are ready to nibble at it. The cost con-
Quoting the business cannot be light, and
the receipts must be large to justify it,

The Green Goods Business.

The police are working effectively to
break up this business, which has been
carried on so long in New York. Of course
it ought not to be allowed to exist, and
yet it is kind of swindling in which the
victims are, if anything, more contempt
Bile than the sharpers themselves.
The green goods business is run on a
cynical theory of human nature which is
sustained by its successful application
1t is that the inclination to rascality is
much more frequent than it seems to be,
and that it exists in its latent form more
goods swindlers, it will be observed, never
undertake 10 work the great communities
where the friction of society keeps the
wits of people bright. The back'country
is the field of their operations. Neither
do they expect to find their gudgeOns
among these who are open to the susp;c-
ion of a tendency to criminal practices.
Such men are too sharp to be caught by a
trick so transparent. They hunt their
prey among the hypocritical members of
TuTdI COIluluLttleS, WHOSe cTeuullIy is
stronger even than their vicious greed,
and whose folly exceeds the criminal cum
ming they hide.
They do not make up the lists of names
to which they send their circulars by
hunting out men of evil reputation or as
ISOLATION, but take the inhabitants of re-
mote regions almost without discrimina-
ton, relying upon catching the ostensi-
bly, good, rather than the openly bad.
They are not so hopeless about getting a
stray deacon and the members of country
churches as they are about taking in a
recognized rascal. The complaints of
their swIndling, as they come to us aid
as we see them published in other papers,
are almost invariably from men who say,
and undoubtedly say truly, that they had
never gone into criminal practices before
they were tempted to adopt them by the
of the green goods swindlers.
They were only waiting tor the oppor-
tunity to be presented, however, and
when they thought they saw chance of
getting counterfeit money cheap they
were ready enough to 60 into the BUSH
ness of using it. Hence they got their

Thos. A. Edison, the famous cleo
trician, has applied for ZOO feet of
space, or about one seventh of all that
the Electricity building at the Worlds
Fair contains. 81 have it from Mr.
Edison himself" said Chief John P.
Barrett, "that his display at the Fair
is to be the greatest achievement of
his life. In talking of his application
for space Mr.. Edison admitted that he
was asking for a large section of the
building; but every inch will be put
to good purpose he added. Il shall
not waste q foot of the area assigned
to me, but will present series of the
most interesting electrical inventions
ever produced I happen to know"
Professor Barrett added, "that Mr..
Edison is doing just as he says. Heis
making an almost innumerable list of
novel and spectacular exhibits. Other
cleo ricians are not idle. We are al
ready crowded for space in our build
ing, and if the demand continues as it
has begun don't know how We will
accommodate all the exhibitors"

Fredericktown is growing FESTIVE
under constantly recurring demands
for charity" The Argus of last week
says: "Our town is being continually
infested with broken down preachers,
actors and professional beggars. 10
Munday the ex-actor and ex-drunkard
had hardly departed until a negro
preacher came along. Who he was no
one knew. He preached two sermons
in the court house. When he got
ready to leave he lacked 80 cents of
having enough money to take him
away. He had no hesitancy in beg
ging that amount. Our people should
remember that charity begins at home
and when the ministers here are sup
ported they will have done all they
are able to do"

The Gayoso Democrat comes bravely
up to the defence of Pemiscot county,
and repels the unwarranted assaults
of the Cape Gira-deau Democrat upon
that bailiwick. The former paper
says: "When the Democrat says that
there are more murders committed in
Pemiscot county than any other coun-
ty in the state according to population.
he states a falsehood. 1t is true men
are killed here. Law abiding people
regret it; but that this county is the
bloodiest county in the state we deny
We think that the assertion of the
Democrat that the reduction of the
Democratic vote will lesson crime, is
far fetched and puerile. If the DEM
ocratic vote is lessened by importa-
tions from the counties of the Bald
Knobbers there would be four MUIR
ders committed where there is one
now in PemiscOt. The d. naOcrat Ger
tainly knows the political complexion
of the Bald Knobber counties, and it
is not Democratic"
