PIPE LINE CRITICISED.
Gas Commission Recommends Legislation
TO Prevent Evasion of Law.


Boston March 10.-The 18TH annual
report OF the board Of gas and electric
light commissioners was made public
today. The report opens with state
ment Of facts concerning a number OF
gas and electric light plants throughout
the state. and then takes up the affairs
Of the companies in Boston and vicinity.
The commissioners eriticise the Massa-
chusetts Pipe Line Gas Company and
the companies affiliated with it, recon-
mending that the contract existing be-
tween the Boston and Brookline COM
panies should be abrogated.
The New England Gas & Coke Com
pany is criticised at length, and the
claim is made that it is violating eX-
isting laws. After stating that the New
England Gas & Coke Company had ex-
eeuted a mortgage or deed Of trust to
secure it's bonds or certificates of in
debtedness for the total amount of
$l7 500, 900 par value, being 1880 obliga-
tions of $100 EACH to the Central Trust
Company of New York, and that $500 of
these Obligations are not to be issued
until other property is acquired, the
board sums up a number of transactions
with minor companies in which the issue
of bonds is criticised. The board thought
that some additional legislation was
necessary to prevent evasion of laws by
the coke company and Others.

Another Steal.

II. +. Brohard was elected to the
House OF Delegates in Taylor county
on the face of the returns by 81 ma
iority. Mr. Brohard is Republican.
The Democrats wanted another mem
Der. A recount was demanded
When the ballots were recounted they
did not give the same result The
ballots now show that his Democratic
competitor, w r. d. Dent, is elected
by over 80 majority. 1t is reasonably
certain that those ballots have been
changed since they left the bands Of
the election officers, The changes
were about all made in less than hall
dozen voting precincts. This is not
a mistake. 1t is deliberate fraud. 1t
is unreasonable that over 100 mis-
takes should have been made in three

men only and invariably in the same
direction.

About fifty of Wlnchester's repre-

of that vicinity came to this city on
Monday afternoon tor the purpose OF
inspecting the Berkeley county can

one in that place. They came as
the guests OF Mr.. John Lovett and the
Cumberland Valley railroad company.
The delegation came down on the af-
ternoon train, accompanied by Mr..
Lovett, who conducted them through
the canuery, cold storage room, ice
plant and cider mill, explaining every
thing as he went along. Mr.. Lovett
proved himself an interesting lecturer.

A Pleasant Surprise.

The U. B. church on Pennsylvania
avenue was the scene of happy sur
prise on last Sunday morning, when
at the close of the Sunday school the
pastor of the church was presented
with an elegant suit of clothes and
purse which cost the donors $3I. The
presentation speech was made by Mr.
Rimel. the oldest member OF the Sun
day school and church. 1t was gen
uine surprise to the pastor and he was
not little embarrassed for a time, but
gained sufficient control of himself to
accept the gift in a few we'll chosen
words. This was a substantial and
beautiful expression OF love and es-
TEEN. Both pastor and wife were
much affected by the incident. This
congregation is enjoying unusual
harmony and prosperity, of which
This little incident is an evidence.

FALSE ECONOMY.

An article in another column, en-
titled West Virginia Economy" is
worth more than a passing notice.
That Maine editor, like most New
Englanders, is intensely practical
We agree with him when he says
there are better things than hoard
ing money when thousands of chill
dren are born yearly to die in ignor-
ance" We also agree with the edi-
tor of the Commercial-Tribune that
the school. house flags are flying and
in a pretty well distributed way +"
But that does prove that those flags
| fly as many months in the year as
they should The Ohio man is right,
too in his belief that as the State is
Republican better things are in store
for US. But that is not good and
sufficient reason why we should con
tinue to accumulate fund for the ed
ucation Of unborn generations, and
allow our own children to grow up in
parative ignorance. In this day
the ignorant man stands a poor show.
There is no real economy in saving
money at the expense of the best in.
terests of the present. The State is
rapidly developing and the future is
assured, provided our people prepare
themselves to accept the gifts Nature
has so freely bestowed. If we are not
prepared, some one else will reap the
harvest Education will fit our peo-
pie for the duties of the hour. The
West Virginian will hold his own
anywhere, provided he has the proper
training. Educate him and he will
do the rest.
The Irreducible School Fund is a
menace to the prosperity Of the State.
There have been leaks and there will
be others. Distribute the money
among the counties for the purpose o.
establishing High schools and then
apply the accretions to their mainte.
nance. Some such action would have
been taken long ago had it not been
that members of the Legislature were
afraid of Demagogic politicians All
know what a howl would 60 up from
newspapers that never possessed an
idea above that of a church mouse.
Their yawp would be terrific. AS the
recent election in this county proved
there are those who heed such stuff.
There is the danger to the party which
attempts a change, thought every ed
ucator in the State insists that the
fund is not only not useful, but, as a
revenue producer, failure.

THANKSGIVING.

brought with it happier IhanKs-
j giving Day than many Others which
preceded it. 1t was day of genuine
Thanksgiving for the mercies which
have been so bountiiully showered
upon us.
OF New England origin, men and
women never weary OF reading about
the Pilgrim fathers, the institutions
which they founded and the legacies
which they left us. Among these
last is public Thanksgiving, an OBJ
servance which has widely deterior-
ated from the original standard and
yet is spreading its genial influence
over all classes. Like many other
prominent institutions, its founders
builded better than they knew, for
they had little thought Of its becom-
ing of permanent and national sig
nihcance.
It's first observance was in the fal
of I62I, when Governor Bradford, OF
the Plymouth colony, in gratitude for
bounteous harvest following a per
iod of sore distress, proclaimed day
OF Thanksgiving and feasting, and in
practical furtherance of this proclama-
ton at once dispatched four men in
search of game. The hunters re-
turned, staggering under burden OF
wild fowl, principally turkeys, suffi-
Gent to meet the wants of the little
colony for days to come. Then the
/ thrifty Puritan house wives took the
matter in hand and made all the
goodies possible from the somewhat
limited supplies on hand.
1t may not be remembered by all
that this first Thanksgiving dinner
had as guests a hundred friendly saw
ages. led by Chief Massasoit. The
Indians brought launches of vepisor
and bushels OF oysters. welcome add
tions to the feast This Thanksgiv.
ing went on for three days. the cere
monies being interspersed with the
singing of psalms and songs learned
around the loved English fresides,
the choicest war dances and fancy
steps of the Indians. and exhibitions
of military drill by Captain Standish 8
well trained soldiers.
The area of Thanksgiving services
has been largely increased in more
recent years. Throughout the Revo
luton the annual observance o
Thanksgiving Day was authorized by
/ Congress, but after peace was declared
the custom fell into disuse until 1880
when the adoption of the constitution
was made the occasion for a National
Thanksgiving by the proclamation o.
President Washington.
But it was not until the time of the
/ Rebellion that Thanksgiving became
National institution and was recog
nized as such by all parts of the coun
try. In Is62-'63 proclamations recon-
mending special thanksgivings tor
victory were issued by President Lin
coin, and in 1868 and 1864 he APP
pointed an annual Thanksgiving Day
by National proclamation. Some OF
the governors appeared to think this
an innovation and an interference
with States rights, and so proceeded
to issue proclanations designating
different days from that named by
President Lincoln. Among these was
Rhode Island, but they soon came to
terms and the federal authority tri-
umphed in this matter of difference as
it had over attempted secession.
