HON. WILLIAM l.. WILSON
Gives His Yiews-FOrtunat the Land.
slide Came this Year. No Cause
for Democratic Alarm.

Speaking of the election results
Representative William L. Wilson
said
Democrats certainly have cause
TO congratulate themselves that
what occurred yesterday did not oc
cur last year or year hence. The
chief cause of the Republican sue
cesses was undoubtedly the business
depression, for which the voters, in
their discomfort and desire to strike
at somebody, held the party in power
responsible. This always happens
in times of depression, and so it is
fortunate for the Democracy that the
blow comes now, when we are not
much hurt by it, rather than year
from now, when a new Congress has
to be elected. Another cause of Re
publican success was the disappoint-
ment among candidates for Office
under the federal government, who
failed to get what they wanted.
This is another thing which invaria-
bly, weakens the party in power at
the beginning of new administra-
ton, and which in the present in
stance has made itself felt rather
earlier then usual Here, again, how
ever. the Democrats are fortunate
for this sense of disappointment has
now largely spent itself, and will be
but slightly felt in the important
elections of next wear.
'By that time" Mr.. Wilson CON
tinued, 1.-The Democrats will have put
their policies into practical effect, the
country will have recovered from the
present depression, and will again
be fairly prosperous, and then there
will be very different story to tell
on election day. There is no good
reason why Democrats should be
alarmed or discouraged by yester-
days election. The only Democrat
ic State that went Republican was
New York, and there the issues were
purely local, and Democratic defeat
was due to too much machine rule
That the party is not disintegratipg
is shown by the gratifying victory
in Virginia, which, all things consid-
cred, may be taken as an Offset to
the disappointments elsewhere"

Eyes it's SOP
swell, then we are left,'
Yes, indeed, we are left. Our un
enterprising neighbor has taken the
lead in one Of the grandest improve
nents that can be made to a town
Doubtless the attention of oui
neighbor was called to the subject
and her judgment convinced by the
frequent efforts Of the New DoMIN.
ION to induce our own people to think
Of this project,
Our streets do very well in Sum
mer when they are solid and not
muddy or dusty, but even at these
times they do not look so well as a
brick paved street. The improve.
ment in the appearance of town
made by paving its streets with
brick is something. that has to be
seen to be fully appreciated Even
Fairmont begins to look respectable
with its paved streets. The streets
look much wider and the town it.
self has a neat and finished appear
ance as compared with mud streets.
Now, the New DOMINION is not Ia
the habit of advocating extravagant
schemes, or the expenditure of
money beyond the ability of our
people to bear. But we think when
ever permanent improvement can
be adopted which will save money in
the long run even if it costs largely
in the beginning, it is economy to
incur the extreme expense rather
than continue to spend money on an
inferior thing that is constant ex-
pense and always unsatisfactory.
We do not think it wise or neces-
sary that the town should jun D
right into paving all the streets
with brick at once, but we do be-
lieve that when a street or part of
street is worn out it is better to
make the repairs with brick paving,
thus gradually pave the town. The
cost would only be little more
that the temporary repairs made
in the usual way, and the people
would never feel the additional cost.
We desire to say in this connec-
ton, that our present street com
missioner, Mr.. Isaac Hite, is using
better judgment in making repairs,
and doing his work more perma-
nently and doubtless more economi-
cally than we have had it done here
tofore. But this does not by any
means make good substitute for
brick paving. Brick is the coming
pavement. 1t can't be beat.

STARVING TO DEATH.
Mrs Jacob Fell Lying III In Ees-
titute Circumstances.
She Has Scarcely Had Anything 10 Bat
for Two Weeks.

The following from the Unlontow n
Standard tells of the sufferings of a
former resident of this place. and
1t will be remembered that she had
similar experience here:
A sad case of restitution was dis
covered this morning by Chief of
Police Moore. Jennie Fell was found
in little old tumble down house in
Coon Hollow by him this morning
in dying condition. There was no
fire in the house, which only has but
couple rooms, nor had there been
any for several days. Mrs. Fell is
white woman, aged about thirty
years. She has one boz about thir-
teen years old. She has been about
uniontown for the past ten OF fifteen
years, aud most of the time earned
living for herself and boy by
taking in washing and doing house
work by the day. She was married,
but her husband, Jacob Fell, got a
divorce about three years ago. Since
that time Mrs. Fell has had a hard
time to make both ends meet. Lately
work became scarce in her line as
well as all others, and she had to
depend on the charity of neigbbors
to keep body and soul together. Two
weeks ago the woman became ILL.,,
and was compelled to take to her
bed The hard work had begun to
tell on her health, and now rapid
decline has set in. Good food and
nursing two weeks ago would have
made her all right Mrs. Fell did
not complain to her neighbors, many
of whom live in squalor and dirt,
and have no food to give were it
asked of them. The boy begged
what little food he could. This took
all of his time, and his mother was
left alone in the cold damp hut all
last week, save at night. While
begging the boy did not make it
known that his mother Was sick and
starving He told no one the cir
eumstances that made him ask for
something TO eat Mrs, Fell's neigh
bors noticed her absence about the
house, and some of them went to see
her. In this way her destitute and
starving condition became known.
Officer Moore was in Coon Hollow on
Saturday night. and the case was
brought TO his notice This morn
ing be went over and found the re
port To be true. The only thing
Mrs Fell had bad to eat from Sat
urday until this morning was a pint
Of corn meal This was all gone
Yesterday Mrs. Fell is weak and
emaciated from lack Of food and her
illness. Officer Moore reported the
case TO the Uniontown Relief Associ-
alton and TO Humane Agest Frank
Campbell. They will see that Mrs.
Fell is provided with food and fuel.
1t is reported that there are several
families on the outskirts of town
that are suffering for enough food
to eat. They are the families of
workingmen, many of whom would
almost rather starve than ask for
something to eat.

PROF. j. S. STEWART
Unanimously Elected Principal of the
FairmOnt Public Schools.

Prof. j. S. Stewart has begun bis
duties as Principal of the Fairmont
public schools. He succeeds the
late DIR. w R. White. On Mon.
day evening the Board of Education
of Fairmont district met and unan-
imously elected Prof. Stewart princi
pal DR.. Whites rather sudden
taking off left the schools without
head instructor, and an immedi.
ate selection was necessary. Prof
Stewards name was proposed and he
was selected without any other name
being placed in opposition, which
is quite an honor to the new princi
pal. Prof. Stewart was at once noti-
fed of his appointment, which he
accepted. He left Tuesday evening
for Fairmont to assume his school
duties the following morning.
Prof. Stewart is splendidly
equipped for his new position. Fol-
many years before being made in
structor of mathematics at the Uni
versity he was assistant in the pre-.
paratory department of that insti
tuition, which kept him in constant
touch with the branches he will be re
quired to teach at Fairmont. While
congratulations to him are in order
at the same time it is to be regretted
that he will no longer be resident

MUZZLE THEM.
The Dangerous and irresponsible
Cranks Should be Gagged.


Cranks Should be Gagged.
To the Editor OF the New DOMINION:
l have letter from a friend in
California severely criticising Gro
yer Cleveland and his cabinet for
not enforcing the Geary Chinese
law.
The assassination of the Mayor
of Chicago by crank; a disciple of
the Henry George School, the acquit-
tai of some of our most notorious
murderers, on the plea of insanity,
would seem to indicate that it was
time for every American citizen who
loves law and order to say his piece.
Ifinsanity is to prevail, the law
must also become insane. We have
no love for cranks of any kind We
think there was criminal negligence
on the part of those who knew OF
Prendergast's threats, that he was
not arrested at once. The place for
such cranks is behind the bars.
When any one makes threats to
violate the law, or to endanger the
safety of others, public safety de
mands their apprehension at once.
And their punishment should be
prompt and sure. The laxity of
law causes crime, and if our officials
do not enforce the law, we should
not blame the people if they invoke
the help of Judge Lynch. Desper-
ate men can only be controlled by
desperate means. We should never
forget that our first duties are to
our families, then to National Gov
ern ment. Labor organizations and
Political parties, do not count, We
want equal and exact Justice for all,
regardless of race or previous con
dition. This il our motto: and this
shall be our ipse dixit, S. G. N

THg DEAD ALIVE.


BROWNSVILLE. Pa. Nov. l3-Sam-
uei 1. Crawford, u brother Of Eph-
rain Crawford, deceased, Of Luzerne
township, who left here about forty
three years ago and whom his fela
tiyes thought to be dead, has turned
up here alive and web, and his pres
enee is likely to cause considerable
trouble. Since his absence he had
not written to any of his relatives
nor friends, and all were confident
that he was dead. When lie left he
placed a will in the hands of the late
Justice Booth. Crawford owned 8
large amount of property which has
long since been disposed of by Mat.
thew Storey, the executor of the es
tate. Crawford now lays claim to
the property.
The condition of his affairs is very
complex, and cannot be Strengthened
out by any process of law. When
Crawford left the state for the west
his property was placed in the hands
of Justice Booth, who also held the
will. After long years OF waiting for
his return, during which Justice
Booth had died, the will was found.
Word was sent over the country in.
qairing for any information regard
ing the missing man. Advertisements
were sent to papers in different parts
of the country, but no trace of Sam
uel r. Crawford could be found.
Storey was then made the executor
of the estate, and the will was placed
in his hands. Acting on the advice
that the said Samuel Crawford was
dead, he disposed of the property as
the will directed This was many
years ago. and since then the deeds
have passed and repassed through
many hands, until there is perhaps
not single piece of his property
owned by the person to whom he
willed it.
Mr.. Crawford, on his return, hunt
ed up the executor and asked for the
will. Storey refused to give it up.
but read the will to refresh Craw-
ford's memory as to what he wanted
done with his earthly possessions in
his earlier days. Crawford has made
several visits to Uniontown for adj.
vice, and it is likely that a large
number of lawsuits will grow out of
the trouble. During his absence
Crawford visited nearly all the west
ern states
The property in question includes
a farm in the edge of the borough,
which Is now owned by son of Eph
rain Crawford a brother of Samuel
r. Crawford and also two farms on
the Monongahela river The prop.
erty is valuable and every effort will
be made TO recover possession of it.
The owners refuse to acknowledge
Samuel Crawford's claim and the
outcome of the affair is question.

How Foolish.

How foolish. indeed, 10 attribute
the recent Republican victories in
the States to change of mind on
the part Of the people in regard to
the tariff.
Are the voters Of this country
children? Are they fools?
When the issue between the Re
publican and Democratic parties on
the tariff was squarely made only
last fall, the Republicans we're over
whelmingly defeated. Since that
time the tariff legislation has re-
manned untouched. The tariff
position remains absolutely un-
changed. McKinley's tariff has
been in force and is still the law OF
the land, and upon that bill the
square issue was fought and decid-
ed.
1t is reflection on the intelligence
of the people to assume that they dc
not know these facts, or that like
tickle children, they have changed
their minds.
There was nothing very strange
about this ''off year election" The
people well understood that there
was no national issue involved, and
hence, as of old, they took the OPP
portunity of fixing up home affairs,
paying off old scores, and otherwise
administering chastisement to their
home rulers. Envy, jealousy and
revenge all entered into these cleo
tions more than the tariff. The PEG.
pie know what they are about and
the next national election will prove
it.

Begun the Cheat Hotel.

F. c. Dean, the Pittsburg gentle
man who is going to prove his faith
in the future of Cheat at Quarry run
as summer resort by extensive and
expensive works, was here Thursday
laying in supplies for the several
workman who he now has employed.
Mr.. Dean is the man who has now
begun the erection of a hotel, com
modious and thoroughly modern in
equipment and appointments, on the
old Ley homestead, over Cheat.
His idea is that the natural beauties
of the place will never prove the
profitable attraction for city visitors
of wealth until some means of enter
tanning them in manner of semi
splendor shall be provided. His mis-
sion is to make the elegant provision
for fifty entertaining the most fastid-
ious, and his earnest purpose is to
fulfill it.
Mr.. Dean came to Quarry run last
summer. He stayed for several days,
while his eyes were occupied in
feasts of natural beauty, at intervals
they also observed the good business
opportunity that is sure in a good
hotel. He is taking advantage of
the opportunity thus presented He
has purchased the Ley property
and is now building hostelry that
will contain AS sleeping rooms, aside
from offices, ball room-just think,
girls ball combining room, a
large one and other accessory APP
paratus obtaining to both urban and
mountain hotels. A wide porch is
to encircle the entire building, two
porches, in fact, fol- one will be on
the second story. The truth is that
Mr.. Dean recognizes the fact that to
attract the best people they must
have accommodations as good as
theymay secure elsewhere. He will
meet this exigency in his new hotel.
The rail road being built will help.
Next year the hotel will Re open.
