SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

For twenty-five years the Democratic
press and Democratic orators have been
preaching anarchy to the people,-have
been demanding that the bulwark OF pro-
lection, built up by the Republican par
ty, be torn down. AT last the people
placed the party of destruction in power.
The fruit OF Democratic agitation and
Democratic success has ripened fast dur
ing the past few months, financial panic,
industrial distress, business paralysis
have prevailed throughout the land. The
people are now finding out their mistake.
A mighty army OF unemployed men are
gathering, and propose to march 10
Washington; the news that great crowd
are expected to arrive in our city from
California, causes anxiety, yet there need
be no fear; these men merely want to
move on,-eating as they 60.
California undoubtedly looks upon the
movement as relief-the whole country
west of the AllPghanies. will be willing to
see this army move towards the center OF
Democratic trouble. Washington. But 1t
will be when this army Of human lOCustS
begin to return to feed upon the land
that the trouble will begin, unless civil
war should break ont at the doors of the
national capital. No doubt the move
ment has been exaggerated, and may dis
appear before reaching its destination.
The POpulist party is the child Of the
Democratic party: inheTiting its most
destructive doctrines, - free trade and
financial faIacieS The people have been
deceived in believing there is any relief
in this direction, and ii may be confident
" asserted that there will be a reStOra-
ton OF the Republican parJy-the party
of protection and sound money.
Let Republicans in Texas take ad-
vantage of the rising tide and float their
party once more.

Mrs. Crow Sees the Sights.

Mrs. Matilda Grow, wife Of our old
friend Captain John Grow, is not a
person given TO gadding about. Al
though she rejoices in good health,
she keeps close to home and minds
her own business. She hadn't been
up town for about dozen years until
last Sunday, when her son, Mr.. Alex.
Grow, persuaded her to get in car
riage and drive around the town 70
see the sights. Some of the handsom-
est houses in the town have been built
since Mrs. Crow has been up street,
and she was delighted to see the i'm
provements that had been made. She
rode over the whole town, including
the new addition Just south Of the cor
poration limits, with which she was
particularly pleased. Indeed she said
she would like to live out on "the
BOOM" but the Captain says ne
wouldn't like TO be the one to try to
get her to move from their old home.
Mrs. Grow says she didn't know Shep-
herdstown had grown to be such a
nice place. Now that she has made a
start she will probably make trip
every wear or so.

A DaStardly Deed.

About the meanest piece of vandal-
ism that we have ever heard Of in this
neighborhood has been done during
the past week. Last Saturday it was
noticed that several tombstones in the
Reformed Cemetery, in the eastern
part of the town, had been overturned.
The matter was given little attention,
however, as it was thought to have
been accidental. On Monday night
the Infamous scoundrel returned and
spread destruction through the silent
city of the dead. About dozen mon
uments and tombstones, some of them
among the incest in the cemetery,
were thrown from their bases and
broken in pieces. There seems to
have been no method in the villain
Gus work, for the stones were over
turned at random, and some were OF
persons dead many years, with scarce
" one member of the family left liv-
ing. The monuments erected over
the graves of Juwayne Koontz, Will
liam Bowen and Emanuel Staley were
badly broken. Other monuments and
slabs overturned but not broken were
those of John Kloth, little Roy Staley,
Mrs. Rebecca Hoffman and those on
Stephen Staley's lot.
Such business as thi. is simply IN
describable in its meanness. Nopunish-
ment could be too severe for the per-
petrator, and it is to be hoped that
he, or they, may be apprehended. A
reward of $50 is offered by the trustees
for the detection of the offender, and
in the meantime strict watch ought
to be kept with well-loaded shot-guns.

took part in an exciting debate be-
tween the literary societies of Dickin-
son College last Friday. The contest
was for the Wsllower prizes, and the

carried off the honors in fine style.
DR.. ]. NJ. Miller, a practicing ply
stefan of Romney, this State, was in
Shepherdstown the past week looking
over the place with a view of locating
here. We understand he was much
pleased with Shepherdstown and its
surroundings.
Miss Amy Sadtler, Lutheran mis-
sionary, has returned from India and
is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Will
liam H. Bixler, of Hagerstown. Miss
Sadtler is in i'll health and was grant
ed leave of six months.

War Over the Manufacturing Shops.

Six months ago Mr.. George F.
Cochnower, northern man, obtained
lease of the manufacturing shops in
Shepherdstown, and it was supposed
he would put them in operation. Not
a wheel has been turned since be took
possession and it has been the impress
sion, We believe, pretty generally that
he simply leased them with the hope
of disposing of his lease at pecuniary
advantage to himself Mr. Cochnower
has not been in ShepherdstOwn for
some months, but his son, George W.
Cochnower, has been here to look after
the property. Some weeks ago Mr.. R.
G. Surbridge, representing the Eastern
Corporation, tried to get possession of
the property, in order to establish a
bicycle mandatory. Mr.. Cochnower
had assigned a half interest in his
lease to Mr.. W. J. Knott, of this Vi
cinity, and Mr. Knott, in turn, assigned
his interest to Mr.. Surbridge Last
Monday, a quantity of new machinery
for the bicycle factory having arrived,
Mr. Surbridge proceeded to place 1t
in the shops and occupy the property.
While he was at this work young Mr..
Cochnower interfered and made a
personal assault upon Mr. Smbrldge,
threatening to shoot him For this he
was arrested and taken before Magis-
trate D. S. Rentch. He was fined S.
and costs for the assault, and, reiterat-
ing his threats, was held i'm 3l00 bonds
to keep the peace H was not able
to furnish the required bond until the
following day, when 1t was finally ex-
ecuted.
Mr.. Surbrdge, in the meantime.
holds the fort and has his machinery
in the building. The elder CochnOw-
er has, we understand, brought suit
for forcible entry and detainer against
Mr.. Surbridge, which will be tried at
Charlestown Saturday.
1t is matter of general regret that
Mr. Surbridge should be prevented
from starting up the shops. He IS
ready to at once put large force of
hands at work making bicycles, and
has also in contemplation the manu-
facture of iron castings Of a certain
sort that would cause the employment
of large force and keep the estab-
lishment busy the year round. Mr..
Cochnower has had the works for six
months and nothing has been done.
Mr.. Surbridge is ready to go to
work the moment peaceable possession
is assured. In the interest Of the
community we hope he may soon have
the matter settled in his favor.

Mrs. VIM. Rich, a widow with six
small children, threw herself in front
of Michigan Central train near La
sale, N. Y, Saturday. Her body
was horribly mangled, death resulting
instantly. Her struggle to support
her family has been desperate, and her
mind, doubtless, gave way. Four
years ago her husband lost his life in
the same manner at the same place.

LIQUOR LICENSES.
Total Number of Applications Larger
This Year.

Total Number of Applications Larger
This Year.
Contrary to expectation the total number
of applications for liquor licenses filed up
to date, for both retail and wholesale places,
is greatly in excess of the total number
filed last year. The records of the Office
this afternoon showed total of SO appli-
cations for retail liquor licenses in hand
and 40 wholesale applications. 1t will be
interesting to note the comparison with
last year. When the LIST of last November
rolled around the assessor reported total
of 400 retail applications in hand and 93
wholesale applications. Should all of these
licenses be granted the revenue from this
source would be $261,OOO, an increase of
STATED over last year. Or, to speak more
in detail, an increase of $6S,OOO in retail
licenses and an increase of $3.50 in whole,
sale licenses.
This was the last daY>allowed for existing
saloon keepers to file their new applica-
tiobs for liquor fftenses and there was a
continual stream of Applicants in the as
SCISSORS room all1 iday.I While there Is a
great increase ine the. number of applca-
tons, it is limited by those who are in a
position to know that when the excise
board completes les laeors, there will not
be as many saloons in2the city by a good
many as there were this year.
