A Healthy Party.


A great party does not fall into
decline while its work lie undone.
Those who are dolorous about the
contact of the Democratic party sith
the silver question do not know what
sort Of party it is. If they knew
they would be comforted with the
assurance that the silver question
will be settled, and that there are
tasks beside silver coinage for whose
accomplishment the Democracy-the
people-whose agent the Democratic
party is, has formed into united
mass.
On the silver question much has
been said which is not true. 'sThe
repeal of the Sherman act is the
death knell of silver as money
this flourish of rhetoric has been
heard in the halls of Congress and
read in some newspapers. If it were
in any sense true, then there would
be room for fear that the party might
lose contingent of it's supporters.
The repeal OF the Sherman act, on
the contrary, cannot affect the status
of the silver we have issued as mon
ey. Every dollar of it remains. If
the Sherman act is not repealed the
Government will merely go on issu-
ing proInissory notes for bullion, and
silver will be nothing more than it
has been; nothing more than token
money circulating on the Govern
ments assumed intention to keep the
two metals at parity.
There is no death knell about it
not even a serious change in the con
dition of silver We ought to make
change to free coinage Perhaps
we would have been by this time
close to it, if the bullion purchases
had not been SO dear to few per-
sons that a stand was ordered in de
Tense of the Sherman act.
The Democratic party will settle
the silver question and settle it right
After the death knell figure of speech
goes out of circulation, and all friends
of silver address themselves to real
coinage settlement, the clouds that
fill the nervous with foreboding will
disappear quickly.
On the other principal issues the
party is in harmony. Not only in
harmony within itself, but full of
combativeness. Before the Fifty
third Congress and the Cleveland
administration are year in office
the people will be enthusiastic over
the march of constitutional reform.
The Democratic party is just getting
warmed up.-St. Louis. Republic.

The mar who said talk was cheap
substituted terseness for truth. His
experience must have been wholly
with thejnnocuous babbling of idle
gossip. He never happened to see
Populist calamity bowler in full OPP
Grafton.
Talk of this kind is costly. The
tireless wagging of the Populist
tongue has added burdens to the
shoulders of nearly every State in
the South and West. 1t has arrayed
neighbor against neighbor, country
against town, farmer against capital
list. 1t has stirred up the yipers Of
sectional hate It has heightened
out expensive legislative sessions.
1t has fastened absurd patches on
the laws. 1t has Haunted like 8
bosom of destruction and laid about
it like bull in china shop 1t
has roared and ratified and changed
up and down the land until even
sensible men were deafened TO the
appeals of reason.
1t all seemed as cheap as Populist
money, but it all has to be paid for
The bill has just been sent into Kan
sas, the chief depot and distributing
point of. Populist craziness The
Kansas soil has grown rank crop
of the most noxious form of calami-
ty-howlers. They broke into high
places and honeycombed the whole
State Government with revolutionary
notions. Laws were regarded so
long as they pleased, and set aside
when they came in the way. Leeis-
lation was popular in proportion as
it was unfriendly to capital. A
dangerous disregard for the sanctity
of contracts between people and
"plutocrats' was permitted and en-
couraged. Kansas gloried in her
own spunk, and with a Populist
Governor, a Populist army and
Populist Senator she hurled her de-
fiance at the hated Eastern money
bags.
The natural result is that the
capitalists who have invested large
sums in Kansas mortgages feel in
secure. 1t is impossible to say how
soon SO crazy State may take a no
ton to repudiate public and private
debts. As mortgages fall due the
holders decline to,renew. They pre-
fer not to do business with q State
where the weeds of agrarianism have
reached such growth, All the
loan and trust companies holding
Kansas investments are said to be
bent upon disseminating business in
the state.
The pity of it is that the burden
of this contraction of credits will
fall upon many people who have
simply been misled by the PETERS,
the Leases, the dwellings and others
of that stripe A Kansas farm can
get along without a barn about as
well as without a mortgage. The
heavy crops of 1891 greatly improv-
ed the condition of many of them,
but the State is still plastered over
with obligations to the money lend
en- If the inconvenience resulting
thus directly from the Populist poll
cy should have the effect of restoring
its disordered senses, Kansas may
yet come out all right.

ton at the Next Term Of the U. s.
Court.


WEIGH, W. Va, Sept 29.-Wed-
nesday morning Deputy United
States Marshal d. II. Harmon, Jr.,
on Indian creek, in Wyom-
ing county, Willard Morgan, one of
the most noted and desperate moon
sinners in all this section of the
country. The arrest was accom-
plished by Harmon and his deputies
slipping upon him unawsres and get
ting the drop on him before Morgan
could even cock his trusty Winches-
ter which he has kept constantly
with him for years. Morgan is
about fifty-fve years of age, tall and
muscular, wears heavy beard and
is remarkably intelligent, consider
ing the backwoods life he has always
led
He has been extensively engaged
in the moonshine business for over
twenty years, and for over twenty
years, he has successfully evaded or
defied all attempts upon the part of
the county and State authorities to
arrest him. Armed TO the teeth he
and his gang have made more than
one United States Marshal leave the
neighborhood, and it was only last
fall that be alone made Deputy Mar
shall Cunningham lay down his arms
and make hurried departure.
About six yeras ago the State leg
islature issued an order that the mi
litia be sent into Wyoming to arrest
Morgan and his gang, but for some
reason this order was never execut
ed. The prisoner was brought here
last night and this morning gave
bond in the sum of 5000 for his ap-
pearance before the United States
court at Charleston. whereupon he
got gloriously full and left for home.
Harmon says Morgan submitted
to arrest very calmly, but that his
wife raised cain and gave vent to
language of sulphurous kind in great
profusion giving the officers n very
thorough and elaborate GUESSING

TAKEN BY THE SHERIFF.
The Big Iron Mill at uniontown
Taken OH Observation-Disclosures to the
Amount Of $3.50, 10000 Issued
and More to Follow.

os4t lhtt Y W AVhVUs
The Columbia Iron and Steel Works
of Uniohtown we're taken into the
hands of the Sheriff on Thursday
last. The company has been en-
barrassed financially for some time
and the mill had been losing money.
Robert Hogsett had loaned the com
pany $l10,000.00 and the Peoples
Bank small sum, but these do not
cover the liabilities. The Ne,os
says:
1t has not yet been decided when
the property will be sold S. E. Ew-
ing is Hogsett's attorney and Charles
Kefover represents the Peoples bank.
The judgments were entered last
night at Sis and the execution
placed in the hands of the sheriff.
Since it has been demonstrated that
under the present management the
mill has not been paying, all agreed
that the only thing to be done was
to sell the property.
The Columbia Iron d Steel COM
pany's plant is a fine one and cost in
the neighborhood of $500, 600. 1t was
built about seven years ago, but has
been in operation only small por
tion of the time since it was com
pleted. The stockholders are sever
al of Uniontown's best known bust
ness men and also some Pittsburg
CAPITALISTS. The only reason ASSIGN
ed for the failure of the plant to prove
paying investment was that it
could not compete with the other
plants, its location being against it.
To some this is not valid reason and
it is argued that Under proper man
agement the mill can be made to pay
good dividend. 1t is hopen that
when the plant is sold it will be
placed under management that will
keep the works running and make
them pay.

A GREAT CRASH.
A Building With 400 Sports in 1t at Sis.
tersyiIle Falls.

There was a great crash in build
ing at Sistersyille Monday night.
The building was an old two-story
tannery -Four hundred persons assem-
bled in the upper story to witness a
prize fight between "Wong" and Tom
Broderick. In the second round the
whole building shook and the floor be-
gan to sink. AT once there was a
panic, people yelling murder and the
like. About dozen persons jun ped
through the windows to escape, and
three Of those persons were badly cut
by the glass, but not seriously.
The lamps were exploded, and the
whole crowd was precipitated to the
floor below. Some of them being more
level headed than the rest got the
frightened to sit down, else many
might have been killed. A way was
found from the collapsed building, and
all escaped, but the fight was not I'm
ished.
Under the first floor of the structure
were the old tannery pits. 1t is said
some Of these were twenty feet deep.
When this was learned the crowd was
still more glad that they had escaped
with their lives.

WOULDN'T TRUST THE BANKS.
A Farmer Buries $500, and Thieves
Dig 1t Up.

The Indiana county Gazette says
j. ii. Miller, of Brushvillc township,
is another Of those who had no faith
in banks.
BY economy and thrift he had saved
about $500 for rainy day. OF this
money $500 was in gold, $50 in silver
and the remainder in bills.
Miller put this money in a self-seal-
ing jar and buried it in his yard. But
someone else knew it.
About ten days ago this someone
quietly dug up the jar, emptied it OF
its contents, dropped the jar and ske-
dadled into the night.
The jar was found next morning
and an examination revealed the fact
of the robbery. There is no clue.

There is not an industry in West

Antiquity eE nsa rpnnasng.

The art of bell founding Is undoubted-
iy of great antiquity. The Saxons are
known to have used bells In their
churches. although probably but small
ones, for the Venerable Bede, writing at
the end of the seventh century, alludes
to them in terms which seem to show
that they were not unfamiliar things.
The towers of the Saxon period have
belfries of considerable dimensions in
most cases, and at Crowland abbey, in
South Lincolnshire. there was o famous
peal of seven bells many years before
the Norman conquest.
The monks at that time and for long
after were the chief practitioners of the
art Of bell foundiug-which indeed is one
Of the many things those well abused
men have handed down to Us. Their bells
were rarely without inscriptions, often
in very bad Latin, containing perhaps
some obscure joke, the point of which is
quite lost. More often they were of a re-
ligious nature, sometimes, we fear, not
unmixed with d dash of superstition, as
when the bell declares that its sound
drives away the demons Of the air who
caused pestilence and famine, lightning
and thunderstorms.
As a rule, unfortunately they put no
dates on their bells, a defect which has
been in some measure overcome by the
