POCAHONTAS.
An Urgent Plea for System of
Water Works.

PoCAnoNrAs, Oct THE limit has
expired for Governor Mckinney to call
an extra session of the Legislature this
year, so waat we desired most of all to
have our charter so amended as to allow
us as a city to bond the town, thus get,
ting the wherewith to put in good sys-
tenn of water works and other mucn
needed provements, we arc disap-
pointed we cannot hope for legislation
on our charter until Dec ,mber, 1898.
The question now arises can we afford
to do without this system Of water works
this long? We answer, No. thousand
times No. 1t is time for us TO DO up and
doing. Why cannot a stock company
put in these water works? 1t will GER
c My pay a handsome profit on the in
te6tment.
submit The following facts and fg-
'eos tor your considerations; have made
carefully and think you will find them
correct:
First. We have an abundant supply
of good water.
Second The cost of the entire plant
will not exceed $4,000.
Third. The saving TO the town in in
surance.

When it 10 remem bored that a great
many houses as we'll as stocks of goods
are practically uninsured you will agree
that we have placed the saving rate Of
insurance at very low estimate.
Fourth. The profit to be derived from
the plant. There ars 1872 business and
dwelling houses, six churches, one jail,
two public school buildings, two large
hotels that will use fully 800 spigots.
$40 houses, one company store, bakery
and warehouse; they will use fully $50
spigots Total number of spigots for the
town, $50.
For the sake of getting good insur-
ance and have plenty of good water we
will pay sig per year per spigot revenue
from this source, 81, 500.
The town will want fire plugs,
hydrants and the Southwest Virginia
l. Co, will want water for their rooms.
This will be considerable source OF
revenue.
Fifth. The cost of running the plant
will not exceed 81, 500 per year.
This is q rare opportunity for invest.
ment. The 5. w. Va. |. Co. has always
shown a disposition to aid in a good
system Of water works here and have
no doubt but what they would take
fully one-half of the required stock, as
they have heretofore stated.
IL is to be hoped that our citizens and
the s. w. Va. l. Co. will get the matter
in more tangible shape at once.

In the May number of the Forum Ed
ward Atkinson SAYS: There has been,
during the twenty-seven years since
1865, subject to temporary variations
and fluctuations, a steady advance in
the rates of wages, steady reduction
in the cost of labor per unit of product,
and corresponding reduction in the
price of goods OF almost every kind to
the consumer This statement is
worthy of special attention, coming from
the source it does. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Atkinson is one of the
foremost advocates of free trade in this
country. When he says that the coun-
try is prosperous and that workingmen
are getting good wages, therefore, he
must be right. Protectionists have
known that 80 be the fact right along;
but whenever a statement such as Mr..
Atkinson is responsible for is made by a
republican. or an advocate of the pro-
tective tariff, he is met with a statement
from the ranks of free traders that he
doesn't know what he is talking about.
The country, according to these calam-
ity statesmen, must be going to the
demniticn bow-wows: they have pre-
dicted that the protective policy would
send it there, and accordingly thither it
must go. What will they say to this
distinguished advocate of their own
theories. who is honest enough to own
the facts, even 4 they do not support
his views?
Just notice theSiate mentioned by Mr..
Atkinson. He observes that the era of
industrial prosperity commences in 1865.
That is the year in which the protective
tariff began to make its effects on the
producing chsses apparent. The period
from 1860 10 1865, when the country
was engaged in a struggle for national
life. does not figure in any just calcula-
ton of economical questions. As soon
as that struggle was ended, and the
conditions of peace and commercial &C
tivity which have since continued began,
the results Of protection on the indus
tries of the country began to be mani
fest, and then that prosperity set in
which Mr.. Atkinson notes.
1t is a strange feature of Mr. Atkin-
sons position. however. that though he
acknowledges the effects of the protec-
tive policy he does not acknowledge
their source. He joins the howl of the
charlatans who demand change. He
is like the practitioner. who. though he
finds his patient perfectly we'll and in no
need of medicine. still .pescribes for
him. I'VE will change all that" says
the quack. as he prepared a big bolus
for the man who had declared that he
hadn't pain anywhere in his body.
I'VE will change all that" echoes Mr..
Atkinson, as he writes free trade nos
trIn for the nation with whcse indus
trial condition he has declared himself
well satisfied.

EXPERIENCE WITH AN ALLIANCE
JUDGE

W. E. HHkox, a Boston capitalist, 200
fremont street, writes to friend in 10
peka of his experience with an alliance
Judge in Kansas. He says: "A few
years ago 1 purchased a mortgage
drawing per cent on farm within a
mile of Anthcny, Kan. The borrower
failed to pay his interest, and after
waiting more than year, foreclosure
proceedings were duly entered upon.
But the judge Mckay before whom
the case was brought, was farmers
alliance Judge who became law unto
himself, and in the interest of the
''downtrodden farmers, refused to COM

have had this farm on my hands for
about three years pending the compile
ton OF foreclosure proceedings, paying
the taxes thereupon. losing the interest
upon my investment and receiving no
rent, while the fellows xho got my
money remain on the place, better off
than if they owned it, since they have
absolutely nothing to pay. I am given

I had confidence in the integrity Of its
people and the justice of its courts and

treatment as 1 have received at the
hands of this alliance. can you blame
me for losing all faith in your state: It
seems to me that the quicker you over.

PROTECTION TARIFF CLUBS.

All through Kentucky protective tar
if clubs are being formed. 1t is hope
full sign: it shows that the people OF
that state are beginning to think fol
themselves on the subject of national
politics, ans that the boss who leads
blind voters in masses to the polls is be-
ing relegated to the rank of Othello in
that state, and that his occupation is
gone. It also shows how little effect the
silly campaign canards of the democratic
free traders have in a state where any
sort of doctrine labeled ''democratic' is
supposed to pass current as gospel I'M
questioned and unanalyzed.
There is just one mistake our Ken
lucky friends are making. They call
these clubs Henry Clay clubs. That
shows a disposition to evade the issue
while asserting to its conclusions. 1t
would BE- far better to cali them Nc
Kinley clubs, or Blaine clubs, or Harri-
son clubs, for each one of these able
modern statesmen have had more to do
with the establishment of the protective
policy as We know it in its present per-
lection than did the distinguished gen.
tleman who advocated with able tongue
and pen the american plan" of the
whig party, a plan which never received
the breath of life nor the seal of popular
approval until it was vivifed and made
potent by the brain and energy of re-
publicanisn.
However, we cannot quarrel with our
Kentucky friends. They are welcome
as allies of c policy of nationalism, by
whatever name they come, and when
they have learned to walk. instead of
creep on the right road, they will OF
themselves fnd name more fitting to
the ideas of the present and call them
selves full taedged Harrisonian repub-
licans.

HOW Do YOU LIKE 1T?

One of the most outrageous acts OF

passage of bill refunding to drafted

A STRANGE HALLUcINATION.

In 1853 wheat ranged from So to 81
cents and averaged IS cents bushel.
In 1859 from SO cents to S1.15, aSerag-
ing S3 cents; in 1860 from sc cents to
s1.13, averaging 80 cents; in 1861 from
SIS cents to S125. averaging 80 cents,
and 1862 from IS cents to 92a cents,
averaging 70 cents. For the five years
the average price of wheat in Chicago
was about $50 cents.
Now, taking the last five years, the
price OF wheat in Chicago in 1887 ranged
from 81 to 95 cents, averaging 81 cents;
in 1888 from II cents to $500, averag-
ing 80 cents; in 1889 from 751 cents to
S1.OSss, averaging 81 cents; in 1890 from
"a cents to s1.0S, averaging 81, and in
1891 from So cents to S1.16, averaging
Sc cents For Inc five year period the
average price of wheat at Chicago
was about S9I cents, or just about 6
cents higher than from 1853 to 1868.
The gain to the western farmer was
more than cents, by reason of the
lower cost of freight to Chicago. His
net gain was much greater, moreover,
when the fall in the cost Of groceries,
dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes,
farm implements. lumber, furniture and
all the necessaries and comforts of life
is considered. In the first period he
paid 5000 for Nanny mandrake reap
er requiring four horses, a driver, raker
and five men to bind. Now one man
does it all on a harvester which costs
S13O. He paid S25 for his plow, and
S12O for his farm wagon. His corn
planter cost twice the present cost, and
so on through the list. Then he paid
IS to 40 cents yard for prints for his
wife's dress, now about cne-third as
much. kerosene oil cost him 81 gal
Ion. Sugar, three pounds for 81, was a
luxury; now twenty pounds for 81.

ORGANIZATION OF COkLEGE RE-
PUBLICAN CLUBS.

Ann ARBoR, M1cE.1The first guns of
the campaign Of 1892 xere fred 6efe
by Governor Mckinley. John NJ. Thurs
ton, General Alger, ]. Sloan Fasset, and
other prominent republican leaders.
The occasion which brought all these
men together in Ann Arbor was the or
ganization of national league of col
lege republican clubs, for which dele
gates were present from thirty colleges,
from Maine to California.
The convention for the organization
of American republican colleges was
called to order at noon The usual
committees were appointed and recess
taken.
The mention of Blaine's name was the
signal for an ovation.
Upon reassembling the convention
perfected its organization by the adop-
ton of constitution and electing the
following officers: President, James F.
Burke, of the University of Michigan;
srst vice president, J. 3. Iregloam Of
Leland Stanford. j.; secretary, James
E. Perkins, of Harvard; treasurer, Nc
Alpine, of Princeton.
The principal object Of the organiza-
ton of college republican clubs, as
stated in the platform, is to counteract
the general impression that college men
are free traders, and to foster develop
ment of a healthy study of political
economy from a practical standpoint,
rather than theoretical one; to encour-
age young men to take more promi-
nent part in the political world, and by
encouraging pure methods, place poll
tics ca higher plane.
