The idea mentioned in the Herald
some weeks since as occupying the
attention OF members of the Board OF
Education, namely, the purchase OF
suitable site and the erection thereon
of commodious high school build
ing, has given rise to much favorable
comment. The proposition was to
purchase the lots belonging to the
Chambers heirs. By SO doing cen
trail location would be secured which
would be fair to all sections of the
city. There would be ample room
for the building and lawn which could
be improved and made pleasure spot.
1t would be visible from both railroads
and thus attract passersby. The pre-
ferred plan for the structure is
three.story building, the first and
second stories to be utilized for school
purposes and the third to constitute
a large assembly hall. Such a build
ing can be erected and furnished for
$4,000 The plan suggested for
raising funds is to ask the citizens to
vote a loan of $50, 900, and with the
surplus oyer and above the cost of the
new high school structure to be APP
piled in making safe the Second ward
building and the present high school
building, which would afford ample
room for years for the ward schools.
1t is not our wish to force the mat
ter upon the people, but since more
and better facilities are absolutely
necessary for the ward schools and as
the high school building isinadequate,
we do think it would be better to vote
a loan while money may be had at a
low rate Of interest, rather than to in
crease the taxes OF the people BY
means Of loan sufficient funds coulC
be had to erect a substantial anC
commodious building and all obliga
lions be met with the present rate o
taxation. Our columns are open L

Beg pardon, dear Shepher istown
Register, the Herald does not threat
en- to throw mud at Mr.. w b. Corn
well because the Hampshire Review
makes some remarks about the pol1t-
ical affairs of Mr.. Pitzer." The article
referred to was unjust to both Mr..
Pitzer and Mr.. Dayton and the Herald
only warned the Review that such a
course, if persisted in, might cause
trouble to those who originated it..
We much prefer to deal in hard, cold
facts and never resort to personalities
unless compelled to do so. Then we
use something more solid than mud,
of which there is an abundant store
in the Second District.

Mr.. c. w. Boyer completed his
term Of four years as postmaster OF
this city. on Monday, and reiin-
pushed his position, by placing the
Office in care OF Mr. Alex Clohan. 1t
affords us pleasure to record the fact
that Brother Boyer gave the people a
good administration. The clerks
were polite and attentive to duty and
the mails were handled with care.
During the past four years the office
was removed from the Peoples Ma
tional Bank Building into the present
commodious quarters and there has
been a steady increase of business yet
the service has kept pace with it.
Mr.. Boyer will now more actively re-
sumo his duties on the Statesman.
That he may be successful, except in
the propagation of his deleterious
Democratic doctrines, is our earnest
wish.

The Charlestown Advocate says
money is dear and everything else
cheap. The Advocate is half right
and half wrong. There never was a
time in the history of the world when
money was so abundant and cheap as
now. This fact is proven by present
rates of interest-the price paid for
the use of money. Never could one
obtain the use OF money at so low a
rate of interest as now A few years
ago when the Advocate charged the
''robber tariff with sucking the
life-blood of the people, and demand
ed cheap products, money was not so
cheap, because money was in demand,
but his pet theory-free trade
brought everything down to bed
rock, especially wages and farm pro-
ducts, the former because everything
was brought from abroad, because it
was cheap, and the latter, because
wage earners had not money with
which to buy. But going back to the
"halcyon days" of free trade and free
coinage, everything except money
was cheap. Then per cent Govern
ment bonds, interest and principal
payable in GOLD, sold for barely
S7K cents in the markets of the
world. 1t is not free coinage that is
needed but a lock upon the mouths OF
the advocates of free coinage at the
impossible ratio of 10 to I, of which
the Advocate is one.

the ruins, and desperate efforts are be-
ing made to save him, but the chances
Of rescue are slight. Even if he is taken
out. the fumes OF sulphur from the di-
gester will probably kill him. The third
is Louis Lefebre, of Menominee, whose
skull was fractured by piece of flying
brick.
The cause of the explosion is un-
