Since our last issue the question Of sup.
plying our town with fresh mountain water
has been thoroughly discussed by all our
people. While nearly all of them favor the
project to supply us with pure water, a
diversity Of opinions arc expressed as to how
the plant should be put in and operated.
some of our citizens are inclined to think the
town should build the plant by issuing bonds
while othere would like to see. the local
capitalists take hold of the project. A.
regards the bonding Of the town, this was
tried once before sid resulted in failure,
after one of the most bitter lights ever seen,
and in The other our local capitalists do not
care to lake hold. 20 the only way to give
our people water is TO give the contract to
Mr.. Frederick and his company, who will
furnish all the capital and equip the plant
IN thorough manner, thereby giving US an
adequate supply at the contract price

SPANS LOSS.
4 Big Gain to Civilization in Every
Way.

According to the Washington Star
it is said in practically all quarters
in Congress that at the conclusion of
the war with Spain that country will
have no possessions on this side of the
Atlantic, and will not regain control
of the Philippines. 1t is declared in
RESPONSIBLE quarters that we Will cap
ture and retain Porto Rico perma-
nently, will give Cuba her freedom un-
der a stable republican form of gov
eminent and will probably turn the
Philippines over to Great Britain, get
ting some of the British West India
possessions in return. The Occupan-
cy of the Philippines, and especially
their transfer to Great Britain, is
likely to have a very important bear
ing upon the eastern question:" in
which the whole world is interested,
and may lead to events of greater
moment than Spain. IT is not the
intention of the United States govern
ment TO retain control of the Philip
pines or of Cuba, no matter what may
happen, but the authority of Spain
over both must be surrendered forev-
err. A coaling station at the Philip
pines and possession of Porto Rico is
all that the United States will retain
as 'spoils" of war.

Mrs. Elliott, wife of Lieutenant FL

Lieutenant and Mrs. Elliott are both

children, could not give her consent
at first. But they wanted to go and
though she could have prevented the
enlistment of her younger son. she
did not have the heart to do it. so she
gave her consent and herself entered
the Red Cross Legion.

GUN CARRIAGES.

For two years the British war Office
has discussed the subject of field car
riages for quick firing guns, but moth
ing definite has been done until re-
Gently, when it was decided to hold a
series of comparative trials at Shoe
buryness in April. Although Viclers
and Observation-Disclosures are now ANAL
gamated, they are sending in separate
designs. 1t is the general belief in
British military circles that even
should the trials at Shoeburyness re-
suit in the adoption of special car
riage, no attempt can be made to
mount field service quick firing guns
on it until 1900 at the earliest. Great
efforts are now being made to COM
plete the army of the new field artil-
lery batteries, and they are being sup
piled with ordinary field carriages.

THE FIRST POLAR EXPLORER.


The hardy mariners who were the
pioneers in polar discovery achieved
wonders considering that they had
everything to learn about the method
of arctic work. and their vessels and
equipment were very inadequate, says
llarper's Weekly. One of the great
est of all active voyagers was the in
dividual who commanded the first
true polar expedition, William Bare
ntz. He sailed from Holland in 1894,
on the little fishing smack Mercurius,
and the one object of his voyage now
shows how ignorant the merchants
and seamen of those days were as to
the navigability of the arctic seas.
Barentz pushed into the unknown for
the purpose of sailing around the
north end of Nova Iembla and finding
n northwest passage to China, and so
for a month he sliirted the wall of ice
that barred his way, seeking in every
direction for Il lane by which he
might travel through the pack, put
ting his vessel about eighty-one times
and travelling back and forth along
the ice edge for LOO miles. The far
thest north he attained during this
careful examination of the ice edge
was GIL statute miles south of the
highest point reached by Nansen, or
SAT miles from the pole.

Why She Wrote II.

At a recent meeting of the New York
Mothers Club Miss Mary Proctor, the
astronomer. told the mothers how she
came to write her book for children,
''Stories Of Starland," and related In an
amusing way her difficulties in keeping
the interest Of little ones during her lee
lures.
on one interesting occasion she said
she was reciting a poem in blank verse
that was rather long as well as blank,
but the children did not seem TO mind,
because there were lots Of stereoptcon
pictures to look at. When there were no
more pictures, and when Miss Proctor
was at the most interesting part of her
poem, in which she asked impressively,
rs there no end? Is there, indeed, no
end?" the little boy i'm the front row
yawned audibly, and then grunted:
Goodness There don't seem TO be!'
The speaker told OF another experience
she had when little girl nearly went
into Mysteries because ii was announced
that Miss Proctor would take them all
on a visit to Starland.
Il want my mamma" cried the little
girl wildly. Il never 30 any place with
out her"

In New York and many other great
cities OF this country the polls close at

TO THE POLLS.

The duty of each Democrat is to vote
whenever the polls are open. 1t is good
exercise. 1t keeps one in touch with pub
lie affairs and trains him for the intell-
gent exercise of his rights as freeman
II helps to make him an up-to-date ciu-
zen. Such a man is valuable to his party
and serviceable to his State. He may be
counted upon at all times; he is regu-
lar.
We do not pretend TO say that there is
much danger that the Democratic nomi-
nee in this congressional district VIII De
defeated: but there certainly would be,
If all our voters considered it unnecessary
to vote!
The Republicans have two candidates
I'm the field in this district, and there is
much rivalry between the factions as TO
which shall poll the larger vote. In that
way we may expect the negroes to turn
out better than they otherwise would.
whether their strength will be pretty
evenly divided between Russell and
Weisiger, we do not know. That Is
question that only results can determine
Our duty is to see to it that whether they
divide or consolidate their strength, our
vote shall be sufficient to elect Captain
Lamb by a handsome majority.
1t is but a small thing to ask our people
to do to give the few minutes that are
necessary to poll their votes. There
will be no crowds at the polls, and there
are so few names upon the ballot little
time will be needed for the discharge of
the days duty. And this little time each
of US ought to be willing to give.
II the weather should be fine a visit TO
the polls ought to be pleasure If the
weather should be rainy, then our old
standby voters will be more helpful
than ever, because we ought TO make
I'D in Richmond and Manchester for the
loss of votes that the rain will cost us in

situation there for long time to come.

SENATE AND IMPERIALISM.

Advices from Washington hold out the
hope that whatever shall be agreed upon
by the Peace Commissioners regarding
tho Philippines, It Is yet far cry to the
contamination of the administration g
policy OF Imperialism.
Daily Il becomes more apparent, We are
toldl that the President will find 1t no
easy task to bring the Senate to the rati-
fication OF treaty annexing the group.
The administration has made Imperialism
a party question, appealing always 10
Republicans--never to Democrats. With
out Democratic support It would be i'm
possible to secure annexation, and what
with the administrations partisan course
I'm the matter and the antagonism
to annexation in the rank and file of the
Democratic party, the chances of secur-
growing smaller by degrees and beauti-
fully less.
But, In addition TO this, some Of the
strongest and most influential Republi-
can members OF the Senate are violently
antagonistic TO Imperialism. Among them
are Senator'S Hoar and Hale, and
according TO the Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun, these two,
and Senator German, are reported to have
made a tripartite agreement to defeat
any treaty for the acquisition of the Phil
ippines
