The opening of the present

marked by the sale of numerous
tracts of real estate. At 20 min
utes past ten o'clock on Tuesday.
it was noted that seven lawyers
were standing upon the court
house steps, crying off as many
pieces of property in various
parts of the county. The ora,

burg bar, fell in measured ca
dences upon the listening ears of
OF the assembled shylocks, who
stood waiting and expectant amid
the throng, with open purses and
shining sheckles, ready to ap-
propriate unto themselves divers
parts OF this mundane sphere. A
fellow in the audience, with a
silver nat, thin breeches and a
dreamy, far.away look, remarked
that it was the sale of the homes
of the people, right in the be-
ginning of the Mckinley admin
istration. But he disappeared in
the distance when the irrepress-
ible ALI Williams came back at
him with the remark. Young
man, we are just washing some
of the Democratic linen, for the
suits from which these DEGREES
result were commenced over a
year ago, and are only mute and
silent witnesses of the destruc.
ton caused by four years of De-
mocracy."

FRIDAY, May II. 1897

Our Democratic friends seem
to have even more confidence in
the speedy restoration of pros
perity under Republican princi-
pies than Republicans them
selves. There is scarcely a day
that one is not accosted by a
Popocfat who impatiently de-
mands his long.delayed share of
prosperity, and often wonders
why the land is not flowing with
milk and honey. We want to
call attention to the fact that the
Republican party is handicapped
in rot having a working majority
in the United States Senate. The
indications are that the Senate
will not give the protection to
our industries that the Dingley
bill guaranteed. This creates
unrest ano business Is ON that
account more or less unsettled,
until it is known upon what basis
the tariff will eventually rest.
Yet no one can deny that there is
certain feeling of confidence
and reinsurance among the PEG
pie. There are no indications of
additional bond sales. Soup
houses to feed the starving are
no longer IN evidence in the great
cities. Material Improvements
in almost every part of the coun-
try are doing more for the labor
ing people. are gradually en-
ploying idle thousands, whom
Clevelandlsm had turned out
upon the world as beggars. Thus
it will be seen that we that
we are being urshered in
upon new era, and there is a
UNIVERSAL feeling among the peo-
pie that a better time is dawn
ing.

Advantages of the Latest Design shown II
a Mnhal.

Advantages of the Latest Design shown III
Model
The model OF railroad safety gates,
which has just been completed by
James W. Parsons. a p, w. & b. rail
road carpenter, has ELECTED much
favorable comment from railroad men
and others who have seen il. Tho
model is according to the Pennsylvania
railroad standard.
The gates measure 3 feet in length
and are fitted with the hand levers,
ratchets and bells, so that when any
one of the crossing gates are being
lowered for the purpose Of protection
an alarm Is sounded. The spring posts
are also in position and protect tho
gates. The entire model can be handled
by child.
The whole design is about 7ls feet in
length by about feet in width and is
supplied with devised rails, gauge in
proportion to standard width, planks
grooved to fit alongside OF the rail,
Dlanks and belgian blocks with planks
across the track,
The feature of the model is that the
new design does away with the two
inch pipe so far beneath the ground
which has for years been such q source
OF annoyance that between 30 and 40
men are required during the winter to
keep the pipes free from ice by menns
OF hontires. This system will also dis.
pense with great amount OF the chain
work. The wires which connect the
gates Oh the side opposite to whero the
gateman stands are run beneath the
rail and are worked ty means of bell
hanger attached direct to the handles
and are high enough from the ground
to be kept from being troubled Ivy ice.
Inc whole arrangement is on the
order of the interlocking switch system
now in vogue over the Pennsylvania
lines. and which has been giving ab-
solute satisfaction for several years.
