The Influence of a Erce Preess

The growth of the influence and DOW
er of the press is proportional to the
increase of freedom and civilization.
The more society frees itself from ira
ditional prejudices and from subiec-
ton to old and outgrown authorities
the more thoroughly will the inGu-
ence of the press penetrate the social
tibers and direct the social forces.
This process has already so far ad-
vanced that the press is considered
the surest and quickest agency for
the imitation of reforms, improve
ments and new ideas. The press is to-
day a faithful mirror of the daily
occurring phenomena of life, business,
politics and society. In this day relig-
ion and science, ethics and politics,
all the useful innovations and inven-
tiOns in the realms of mind and mat
ter, gravitate to the press and seek
an opening in its issues.
The press welcomes every new idea,
every valuable utterance and concep-
ton; nurses them carefully, preserves
them from oblivion and introduces

The farmers of the country have
been the first to feel the improved
conditions of business. The products
which they have had for sale have
steadily risen in value all along the
line, and the increased volume of
money has come directly in their peck
cts. Br0dStreeCS in speaking of the
present condition of the American
farmer, says: 1.-The American agri-
culturist has had no such opportunity
to reap so large a share of the rewards
of labor as is now promised him.

THE deadly parallel could be drawn
with good effect on some of the free
silver papers which We're asseverat-

prosperity lay in the opening of the
mints to the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, but which are now forced
to publish columns of matter show
ing highly satisfactory improving
business conditions and arriving pros

THE farmers of the country should
give their attention closely to few
contrasts. The free traders made a
great row over the sugar bounty and
the tin plate duty. Their contention
was the sheer impossibility that we
should produce our own sugar and
tin. Already every farmer in Amer
lea knows that we shall soon produce
all the sugar we consume and save
hundred millions year for the tillers
of our soil, and that we are also deep

TO the Editor Of the Kingwaod Argus.
AS much as we dislike the task we
| feel it our duty to reply to some of
| the structures contained in an article
published in the kingwood ArQltS of
last week relative to the game of ball
| played there on July 31st between the
Jack Oaks of Oakland and the King
wood nine. In our account of the
game published the week following
we were conscientious in every word
contained therein: moreover, we can
! prove by numerous witnesses that
every word in that article was moth
ing but the truth.
We propose in this article to hew
close to the line, let the chips fall
where they may.
The first clause in Bro. Browns
article says that the editor of THE
REPUBLICAN prior to the viilainous
attack upon the town had many
friends here" If the truth will drive
friends away all we have to say in the
premises is let them go. We are sure
that we can get along very well with
out such friendship.
Then Bro. Brown, who is also man
ager Of the kingwOOd aggregation, be-
sides holding numerous but minor
places, goes on to say that the Jack
Oaks had crack players from Cum
berland, Frostburg, Pittsburg, Union
town and other places, and at a cost of
not less than 800" This, in plain
English parlance, is lie. SO much
for that.
Mr.. Legge, manager of the Oakland
nine, denies the allegation contained
i'll the ArgUS that he picked the UNI
pire. The kingwood manager select
ed him and Mr.. Legge demurred, but
after having talked with quite mum
Der of the gentlemen from Oakland
and being unable to secure their ser
vices to act in that capacity, went to
Mr.. Brown and said, to use his words,
Il guess we well have to be satisfied
with Mr.. Ciapp." Yet in the face of
this Mr.. Brown twists the words to
suit his purpose.
We do not care anything for the
testimony of the citizens of Terra
Alta as to where the whisky consum-
ed by the Oakland people was pro
cured, but we have evidence in our
possession that numerous quarts Of
the rottenest Kind OF bug juice was
bought in Haywood and that with
out a prescription from a regularly
practicing physician. We are also
prepared to furnish this evidence to
the prosecuting attorney for Preston
county should he want to use it before
the next grand jury in order to carry
out fully the local option law in force
in that county.
Mr.. Brown further says that the
crowd first stopped at the Horel Cor
don, but that the proprietor refused
to entertain them. This assertion
bears lie on its face. In the first
place Mr.. Brown had made arrange
ments for the people to be entertained
at the Exchange Hotel, and all went
there except one carriage containing
four persons who registered and were
guests of the Hotel Gordon during
their stay in town.
And now one word to Mr.. Smith, of
the Exchange Hotel. We do not deny
that beer and other drinkabes were
taken to his hotel and he was reques-
ted to lock them up, but what went
with the liquor while the boys were
playing ball? Mr.. Smith was the only
man who had access to the room in
which the stuff was stored and when
some of the boys called for it 10, and
behold, it had evaporated!

The meeting of the Boulder Fruit
Growers association held last Saturday
in the city hall was well attended. The
subject of display of fruits at the state
fair to be held in Denver next Septem-
Der was discussed at considerable length
and as the funds for making such dis
play have already been provided by our
county commissioners, there is no doubt
but an exhibit will be made that will do
credit to our county as one of the best
fruit growing sections of the state.

At the last meeting Of the city council,
in accordance with the recommendations
of water committee, the water rate for
the Gulf road was increased from 5000
to 5000 year. Representatives of the
road Immediately called upon the men,
bers of the council, but receiving no sat-
isfaction, have taken steps to protect
themselves before the Ist of April, at
which time the old contract with the city
expires. This morning Mr.. Zimmerman
brought up twelve men from Denver and
work was begun on we'll at the water
tank. The engine and pumping appar-
atus were brought over from Church's,
and the pumping station will be discon-
tinued at that point. The company felt
that they had been unjustly treated and
propose to protect themselves.

THE MOUNTAIN ROADS.
The County Commissioners Refuse to Have
the Roads Opened Up.


The severest criticisms are being
showered upon the board of county COM
mis,ioners for their failure to open up
the roads in the mountains Three DAYS
have now passed since the heavy snow
occurred and the roads are entirely
impossible and all traffic is cut off.
Chairman Feeny is absent in Chicago,
but it is reported that he gave insfruc-
tons before leaving that no steps should
be taken toward cleaning the roads,
claiming that the county had no funds
for that purpose. The road overseer at
Salina has force at work up there, but
it is said that all of the remaining noun
tain road oyerseers are either shame
fully negligent of their duty or else are
afraid to take any steps contrary to the
orders of the chief mogul. The stages
are unable to move, and al freighting is
suspended. Any one attempting to
travel must make his own road.
The business men of the city are very
indie nant over the matter and claim
woeful mismanagement of the county's
interests. From the present outlook, the
condition Will continue for some days
vet or until the snow melts. In the mean
time all mountain business will be totally
stapnated
