The establishment of real estate auction

There is no desire to boom it, but to build
up and sustain confidence in an interest
which underlies every other, and stimulate
home-founding. He who can persuade a
man to buy or build a home does service
OF lnestimable value. The DISPATCH has

Something Going On.


Facts are stubborn things, and the bears
can't get over them. Considering everything
real estate is not only in good shape. but NOV
ing promptly and freely. During the week 58
transactions were reported in this column
against 40 the previous week. One hundred
and two sales the first two weeks of the year
should convince the most incredulous that real
estate is not on its back 1t should be borne in
mind that only about One-ffth of the actual
business is allowed to reach the public through
the papers.
A Boom for Kittanning.
Charles Somers d Co. have just closed big
deal IN Kittanning. the amount of money in
volved being in the neighborhood of S37. 700.
They purchased for a syndicate, headed by the
Wick Brothers, of that place, % acres of the
old fair ground at the edge of town on the AL
legheny Valley Railroad. The purchasers have
already about completed arrangements for
locating an industrial concern on the property.
which will cost a large sum, and give employ.
meut to several hundred men. The portion of
the ground not covered by the plant will be
laid out in lots and put on the market early in
the spring. 1t is expected that this deal and its
outcome will give quite boom to Kittanning.
The new pottery being in the same locality
lends additional Importance to the transaction.

For the Coed of the Order.

When the Farmers Alliance first
came into prominence the REGISTER
did not at once take it into its conf
dence. 1t desired further acquaint-
ance-to know more of its aims aid
| objects-its principles and methods of
procedure. But since its advent into
politics and, in the light of what it
has already accomplished in that field,
the REGISTER has come to regard 1t
as great conservative force in our
scheme its principles in the main are
such as appeal to every patri' tic
American. Before it the ghostly
specters of sectional hate and distrust
have fed, as the bats and owls flee
from the rays of the rising sun. Cleve-
land took the initiative in calling our
attention away from the civil war to
questions of the living present. All
honor be to him for it. The A Iliance
is binding up and healing the wounds
made by that great struggle and so
long kept open by politicians, VIII,
have drawn the life blood of their
political existence from the questions
it engendered. 1t is to be hoped that
it's period of usefulness has only COM
menced. Like all other movements
of the kind, 1t will have to keep a
sharp look out for quick sands. 1t is
being boarded by politicians of all de-
grees, from the politi al "hussy,"
who, in the hope of getting office, has
prostituted himself to every party or
organization that has come into eXis
tence, to the honest and cOnscientio titus
man who, for the first time in his life,
perhaps. entertains political aspira
tons. We do not object to farmers
holding office. We think it entirely
appropriate that a farmer, or any
other man, who lives by daily toll,
should occupy the gubernatorial chair
of this State. We should rejoice to
see 'jour" printer wander into the
Senate of the United States with his
disposition to accept loan of two
dollars in times offinancial stringency,
and that far-away look in his sad
eyes. But neither the Knights of La
Dor, Farmers Alliance, nor any 9TH
or organization of that character can
afford to make it's chier executive Of
flee u stepping stone to political pre-
ferment. To do so would be to invite
ruin. Ip that event the organization
would become political battle ground
and the good of the order be entirely
neglected by it's officials in their zeal
to get office. Instead OF the Farmers
Alliance making its biggest officials
it sh nuld serve notice on
them that they are given positions in
the order not to enable them to seek
political preferment, but to transact
it's business and look after its inter-
ests. Brother u. S. Hall should be
gently reminded that he is the serv-
ant and not the mas ter of the Farmers |
Alliance in this State, and that he |
was not made it's President in order !
that he might make deals with politi-
clans to secure hi3 election as Gov
ernor A farmer for Governor would |
be all right, but let him come from
the ranks

scure and grasping tradesmen, who if
the weekly payment system had been
| in vogue, would have thriven and
ings of the miner they would have
been enabled to fitch from the legiti-
mate profits of the company. The
facts stated about Wayne county saw
mills are equally indefensible. The ex-
Labor Commissioner grows sentiment
al about the woes of these men. He
| recites the fact "that he found camp
of three hundred men who waded in
cold streams and tramped through
swamps and toiled in season and out
of season until their employer counted
his wealth by hundreds of tn ousands
of dollars and boosted that he owned
railroad and thirty-eight thousand
acres of land, who went months with
out pay'' except the pasteboard check
He had, unhappily, the bad taste to
bring to the attention of the public
the fact that man dying of fever
contracted in that malarial region
could not get money enough to buy
medicine with, although it had been
long owing to him and unpaid, but
had to by patent medicine at the
company store out of which the COM
pany's legitimate profits would come,
or do without; thereby calling in
question the humanity of one of or
f,rnnainant C0nfhnoS of Nficcnnri h1,c
ness men, who felt so aggrieved that
he deemed it cessary to procure the
endorsement of the prosecuting attor-
ney of his county, whose business it
was to prosecute him if the charges
made against him were found true,
and that of those of the m"n about |
his mill who naturally preferred the |
job they had, although it furnished a |
bare subsistence, to the tender charity |
of the railroad track. Of cour-e such |
conduct on the part of Mr.. Meriwether |
made his removal a foregone conclu- |
sion. We think with The Globe DEM
ocrat that she made a fool of himself" |
in trying to fill an office for which the
facts above set forth show there is no
need. 1t never entered the Guberna-
tOrial mind that he would offend his |
cultured nostrils with the unwhole-
some smells from a miners shanty, or
exhibit his faultless toilet at slab
pile. 1t was Mt thought that dude
Labor Commissioner would ever stand
by the bedside of sick mill man and
look upon his sufferings with a pity
ing eye, or view the squalor of min
ing camp with feelings of commissera-
ton. He should have toasted his
shins by the office stove, absorbed the
large and enthusiastic drink of ten
year-old whiskey rendered him by the
enjoyed the aroma of the
cigar from the same source, and then
he would have been able to make a
report which, if not entirely true,
would have been eminently polite
and calculated in no way to endanger
the reputation of the state or drive
capital from its borders. Had he fol-
lowed tn course no tale of his domes-
tic infelicities would have ever been
told, and he might now be basking in
the smiles Of the autocrats, and be
singing
