The Governor Is Right.

Charleston Gazette: Governor At
kinson is being somewhat annoyed
by repeated adverse criticisms from
numerous defeated aspirants for mi
nor appointments, at the several
state institutions, these applications
in several instances holding the gov
nor responsible for their failure to
get places. The governor says EN-
phatically that having selected com
petent men on the several director
ships and regencies of the state in
situations, and having the utmost
confidence in their fitness and abili.
ty to manage the same, he does not
propose, under any circumstances
whatever, to try to dominate or in
terfere in the matter Of filing the
various minor positions at any OF the
institutions, and in no instance will
he reflect upon the men he has Sc
lected to manage these public insti-
buttons by urging or even asking for
the appointment for any of these po-
sitions.
The governor is certainly to be
commended for the course he is pur-
suing, as the members of the var
ious boards ought surely to know
whom to select and as they are to be
held responsible to the people fol
their management of these affairs,
the matter Of all the detail work

AI.esson of Workmen.

The story printed Monday in the
Journal, regarding the expected la
Dor trouble at the Hanna docks, is
fine commentary on the gold stand
ard cause. The men who obedient-
ly marched under the yellow flag and
DOTTED their hats to the sham gold
arch and followed it up presumably
by voting the hard times ticket, are
now in danger of losing their jobs,
to give work to Finlanders who will
live in company shanties.
A cults being made in the rate of
wages paid to the men who work as
ore handlers, and consequently CAPT
talists of the Hanna ilk find it con-
venient at this time to have the sup
ply of labor overstocked. When one
hungry man is bidding for job
against another hungry man it is al
ways easier to get the price of labor
down to the bedrock rate. And so
it is that we now see these Fins
brought here from Ashtabula to
take the bread out of the mouths of
Erie citizens. But what a lesson it
must be to the men who are to lose
their Jobs, and what lesson it
should be to every workingman who
learns the facts. Promises by en-
ployers before elections that they
will pay higher wages and give more
work in certain contingencies are
only made to be broken. Usually
the employer is wrong in his belief
as to what is the best course for the
country to take; he is narrow mind
ed and fails to look at great ques-
tons from any but his own situation
After election when things turn out
against his preconceived notions, he
entirely forgets his philanthropie
promises made to his men. But even
| if business should turn out as he
thought it would and as he told his
employees it would, he finds some
excuse or other for failing to carry
out his obligations, and so in any
event the men find themselves en-
tirely overlooked. The lesson of it
is, that each citizen should think
and vote for himself regardless Of
the threats or promises of those by
whom he is employed.-Erie Jour

Anniversary of the Epworth League


Last Sunday was a ''full day" for
the Epworth Leaguers of the NJ. E.
Church. The church bell called them
to sunrise meeting before the ma
jority of church going people had
turned over for their morning nap.
The pastor preached a special SER
mon appropriate to the occasion at
l l a. m. Then at night the Leaguers
simply took possession of everything
and gave program that occupied the
entire service. The house was full
to overlooking, the church was hand
somely decorated with Epworth
League flags and emblems, and the
varied program of song, addresses,
and Rotations was entertaining, edi-
flying and inspiring.
Among the musical numbers the
choir did itself great credit on the
opening anthem. 1t was choice
piece of music well rendered, with
Mrs. Hartigan at the organ and Miss
Olive Pierce accompanying with the
violin. Two vocal quartets were sung.
one by small boys who did well, and
the other also by male voices without
an instrument which was difficult
though successful musical undertake
ing. Mrs. Dawson, of the choir, sang
a "Happy Day" soloi in good voice and
and with pleasing effect. Miss Han
nah Jones and Miss Georgia Wilson
gave recitation that were exceedingly
well chosen and happily rendered.
Then came addresses by Messrs. Hell
ronymous and Law on topics appro-
pirate to the occasion; and a paper
by Miss Matte Brock which was truly
a literary gem and very highly appre-
ciated by the audience.
Altogether it was a red letter day
in the life Of the League and one that
all will remember pleasantly.

University Notes.

Where is our boating crew? This
fair weather should surely bring out
all aouatically inclined, for never
do we find weather more suited for
rowing than these cool breezy May
days. We are all inclined to give
ourselves up to one particular
sport, in the fall it is football, now
it is base ball. Let us have good
boat crew.
Our recent defeats in base ball
have somewhat lowered our crests,y yet
we are not completely discouraged
nor have we lost confidence in our
team. 1t seems evident, however,
even to the causal observer that a
few changes need to be made in the
team. Any one will at times be liza
BILE to accidents, but when these be-
come plainly habitual it is time to
try another man, especially when
apparently good material is availa
Bile. We have no doubt but that a
few changes will be made, as our
captain is man of good Judgment
and one that knows a baseball play
er when he sees him.
Isn't there something wrong some
where with our graduating system,
when a senior doesn't know until the
very last minute of the last day of
examinations whether or not he is
going to graduate? Surely stu
dent who has spent from four to six
years at the University should have
some way of ascertaining his fate
before the old University bell strikes
the hour for Commencement exer-
cises to begin.
Year after year as graduates leave
this institution the question must
surely arise in the minds of many
"What is the primal object and aim
of the commemorative maintenance
of such a university as ours? Is
it to elevate and enlighten the
chance individual that is fortunate
enough to take advantage of its ex-
excellent facilities, or to use him as
an instrument in the PRONUNCIATION
anu ulSStIulHdIiOu Vi Tic ulS Htl
learning among those throughout
the State less fortunately situated
than himself?'' Truly, the latter is
the theoretical aim, but the former
is it's practical outcome under our
present laws. The Anticipated idea
that all who teach in the public
schools of the State must pass an
examination before a county or state
board Of examiners, though it should
have long ago been relegated to the
obsolescent curiosity shop, is still
maintained in practice in this state.
| Now this very bug bear, this untime-
| ly, illadyised requirement from Uni
versity graduates, keeps numbers Of
well-qualified and scholarly men and
women out of the school room. How
ever well-informed the ordinary Tn.

The failure Of the able Republican
tariff revisers In congress 70 put any
duty as high as 500 per cent. is bound
to attract attention. While the Nc
Kinleyites Of ten years hence will
undoubtedly be ready to supply US
with ZOO and ] 800 per cent. duties,
as the doctrine of high, higher,
highest protection goes on develop
ing, it was not expected that anything
of that sort could be had this year
But good tariff holsters everywhere
have hoped for at least 500 per cent.
on some of the essentials Of existence,
and now they are likely to be disap-
pointed. The very highest rate yet
discovered in Dingley's masterpiece is
419 per cent. The Washington cor
respondent Of the Springfield Republi-
can, says:
The senate computations show rates
of 55 per cent. on second-class wool,
2e9 per cent. on garnetted waste, 326
per cent. on shoddy, III per cent. on
wooden cloths valued at not more
than so cents pound, 1877 per cent
on blankets more than three yards in
length and valued at not more than
so cents pound, 212 per cent. on
shawls valued at not exceeding 40 cts.
a pound, ISL per cent. on knit fabrics
valued at not exceeding 40 cents a
pound, ISL per cent. on knit fabrics
valued at not exceeding 40 cents a
pound, PSI per cent. on hats and wool
valued at not more than 80 cents a
pound and 419 per cent on felts of the
same value.
Dingley may think his constituents
will approve Of his moderation in
keeping his high-water mark below
500 per cent, but if he thinks he can
ever get to be president by any such
low down business he is mistaken.
Suppose that Mr.. Mckinley had pur-
sued that course-would he be in the
White House now? Not much. Mr..
Dingley has, in our opinion, shown
himself unequal to his opportunity.
The professional tariff holster who
cannot give the country anything
higher than 419 per cent. must ex.
pect to have his schedules overhauled
in the senate, and to be buffeted in
many ways.

Hagans Notes and Comments.

HAGANs, May 17.-After a long abb
sence which is not due to forgetfulness
we come again with few items for your
valuable paper.
Our people are still waiting for that
wave OF prosperity that was billed to
sweep over this fair land of ours last
spring. Wonder if the golden wave has
not been checked by golden rock on

Andrew Fox has sold his farm to M.

We would predict a wedding in the
near future were it not possible that we

should not come true.
Mrs. E. N. Kerns who has been in
poor health for several years is confined
to her room with the measles.
Miss Eva Michael is clerking in the
Jones store here.
Our Sunday School is moving along
serenely with Emma Shuman superin-
tendent.
Will Yost has moved to near McCur-
dysville and Jas. Jones has settled on
the sunny shores of Chunk run, Mar

The battle over the Arnettsville post
Office has subsidized and the natives have
put their armor away. The war cloud is
disappearing and many have concluded
that it had renovating effect, notwith-
standing its terrific whirls and gigantic
proportions. The statue of truth stands
as serenely as of yore defying the storms
OF hate and the clouds of misrepresen-
tation. As Whittier says: The SIAN
derer may flourish like the bay tree for
awhile" but cold, hard facts will surely
appear sooner or later to guide like a

Though we hear much in Wash
ington from statesmen urging the
imposition of further burdens upon
the people on the specious pretense
that the government of the republic
needs more reyeae, we hear no de-
mand for rational economy.
The United States is the most ex-
travagantly expensive government
on the face of the earth. No despo-
tism exacts more tribute from IFS
people than the republic. True, it
is free from the expense of a great
standing army, but its expenditures
on account of military aud naval af-
fairs, together with its enormous
pension disbursements, are greater
than the expenditure for military af-
fairs in the German empire, the
greatest military power in Europe.
The mere expense Of conducting
the government printing establish
ment, in which the expenditure is
lavish and useless to the last de-
gree, would go far toward supporting
many of the smaller European gov
ernments. Our statesmen in Wash
ington have surrounded themselves
with extraordinary luxury. At the
cost of the people of the whole coun-
try they have made Washington the
most delightful capital in the world.
Aside from the salaries larger than
are paid to any Legislators in the
round world, they have voted them
selves secretaries, stationery, allow
ances, hot houses and a COMPRESSION
al library, in which none of them is
ever seen, larger and more exqui-
sitely beautiful than any on earth.
Citizens of the republic are suffering
as they never suffered before. They
are struggling for existence. They
are sending men to Washington in
the expectation that they will con-
suit their interests and, as far as it
lies within the proper functions Of
government, give them relief. 1t car
be had only by an enlargement Of
the currency and reduction of tax
alton. But when the men sent al
Legislators to Washington reach
there they think not of relieving the
burdens upon the plea that more
money is needed to meet the ex-
penses of the government.
We want at Washington earnest
and honest men who will labor ser
iously to reduce the expenditures Of
the government, not endeavor to fine
new ways of extorting tribute. Taxed
through the custom houses the PEG
pie have not been presented directly
with tax bills and they have not
seen clearly wherein they have suf
fered. If direct taxation had beer
levied to support the general gov;
eminent during the past few years
of hardship and suffering there
would have been revolutions Charles

Lynch WILL Case Pasfnoned

The Jarrett Lyach will case will
not come up for trial at the June
term of court, it having been mutu-
ally agreed between the different
counsel to postpone it. This case
has attracted considerable attention
and involves several thousands of
dollars. Mr.. Lynch bequeathed the
bulk of his property to several Bap-
list societies and this suit is
brought by the heirs to break the
will alleging undue influence and
other reasons. Whenever it does
come to trial some sensational de-
vclopments are promised Oscar

York had conference with the at
torneys representing the defendants
in the suit with the result Of post
poning its trial until later term Of

Giles Again i'm Hoe.

For some time the neighborhood in
the vicinity of the residences of Jacob
Dalton and James Giles has been
greatly worked up. Many petty dep
relations have been committed, and
on account of these strong suspicion
has been directed to James Giles. 1t
will be remembered that Giles nearly
killed his daughter some months age
with poker The cause of this act
was her marriage with a young Dial
ton. Since then he has, it is alleged,
tried to avenge himself ON every one
who had anything to do with the
match. A stable and several horses
belonging to party who acted as
match maker, were burned and Giles
was accused of being the incendiary.
Several nights ago large quantity OF
fruit trees belonging to Dalton were
killed. The bark was peeled from
them with some sharp instrument,
presumably draw knife. These things
made Dalton very suspicious, and on
Saturday night he was watching his
straw stacks. About IL o'clock he
saw one of the catch fire. He had a
horse brought up and rode across tC
the burning stack. When nearly to
it another was set on fire. He was
near enough to see She f1rebug, and
recognized Giles. Giles ran and Dali
ton gave chase. The race was very
hot one, but was terminated by the
fleeing man falling over cliff. Here
the pursuer lost sight of him.
Giles house was surrounded and he
was in short time heard to enter it.
A warrant was sworn out before
Justice McRae and early Sunday morn
ing Giles was arrested. He was held
at the squire's office until Monday
when, after a short trial, he was com.
mitted to Jail in default of bail, tt
await the action of the grand jury
He was brought here Monday after
noon and lodged in Jail. He is mar
about so years of age

The Renuhiican Plan.

Mr.. Dlngley mas let the cat out OF
the bag. For a man of his prudence
and caution it is extraordinary that
he should expose the Republican
hand thus early in the game. Mr..
Dingleys statement of the purpose
of the Republicans to create sur
plus in order that the greenbacks
might be impounded in the treasu-
~ and withdrawn from circulation,
may be considered as official. 1t is
startling. 1t is true that the Repub-
lican purpose has been suspected. In
the debate in the House of Repre-
sentatives on the Dingley bill, Judge
De Almond. an able and far seeing
Democrat from Missouri, specifically
charged the Republicans with the
purpose now avowed by the chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee.
There is no doubt that it has long
been the dream to the men who pro-
vide the sinews of war for the Re
publican party, to make gold coin
and national bank notes the sole
circulationg medium of the people.
The pending tariff bill is not to raise
honest revenue, but to create a sur
plus in order that the currency
might be further contracted. The
Republican leaders are well aware
that they can not pass bill in the
senate retiring the greenbacks. But
they will endeavor to effect by trick
cry and chicane what they cannot
do openly. Taxes are to be piled
mountain high on the necessaries of
the people in order that the green
backs might be boarded in the treas
ury and withdrawn from circulation.
There are 1896, 000,0 900 in green
backs and Sherman notes in circu-
lation. The boarding of this cur
rency in the treasury would contract
to that extent the circulating medi-
UNI. The Republican program is to
evade the law which directs the i'm
mediate reissue of greenbacks by
printing, certifying and signing
them, and then OBTAINING them in
the vaults. This can not be done
without a huge surplus, and Ding
ley now frankly admits that the
proposed tariff law is intended to
raise this surplus. The conspiracy
has been studied out in all it's parts
and is to be the browning infamy OF
President McKinley's administra-
ton. The election of Mckinley to
the Presidency was purchased by
the gold and the tariff barons. They
are now demanding their pound Of
flesh. The trusts and syndicates
have full swing. They own McKin-
ley and the controlling leaders Of
his party. The entire machinery OF
government is in their grasp, and
the toiling millions are made theil
prey.
How long will the people submits
The great body of the American PEG
pie are patient, law loving and con
sentative. But it is dangerous to
test their patience too much. There
is a point beyond which it is not
safe to go.-KaaaWha Gazette.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1897-05-22

The customs receipts for the last
ten months of the fiscal year, under
the Wilson law, were Sc. 900, 900 more
than for the whole of the fiscal year
1894, when the Mckinley law was in
force. And the total receipts for the
ten months are more than the total
expenditures for the year 1890, be-
fore a billion congress set the pace
of extravaganza and jobbery.
