Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1898-02-01

The new Town Council has stepped
in, and taken charge of affairs.
According to the platform upon
which they were nominated and
elected they are pledged specially to
two principal things: The first is
to ascertain and report how the town
stands financially: and secondly to
inaugurate systematic plan of per-
mancnt improvement of the streets.
Upon these two matters the citi-
zens of the town may be said to be a
unit. In regard to paving the streets
the only open question is the plan
upon which it should be done; and
upon this we want to submit sug
gestion or two for the considerable n
of the Council.
We believe it to be the publ ic
judgment that whatever paving is
done should be done by the town
under one uniform plan. In other
words, the Council should first secure
estimates from experts or bidders and
adopt plans and specifications under
which all paving should be done, to-
gether with the maximum cost per
squaae yard Then, whenever it is
determined that a square or any part
of a street is to be paved, contract
ors should be invited to take the
work under the adopted specifca-
tions. There ought to be one, or
more men, among our own citizens
who would qualify and equip him
self to do this work whenever called
on, and thus keep the money at
home.
The second question is how to pay
for it. Two or three plans have
been proposed One is that the
property holders on each side of
street that is pavsd shall pay one
third, and the Town the other third.
Another plan is for the Town to
borrow money on long bonds, pay
for the paving as done, and thus re-
quire all the tax payers, present and
future, during the life time of the
bonds, to contribute to the cost of
it..
The latter plan is probably the
most popular and the most equita-
bic. And yet proposition to issue
bonds is liable, as experience proves,
to be unpopular in it's form or cen
ditions and be defeated; thus delay
ing Indefinitely the whole enterprise.
We submit that there is one plan
by which paving might be immedi-
ately begun and which would be
virtually adopting the last mention
ed plan in effect. That is to permit
any property holders who can agree
among themselves to have any part
Of street paved and pay for it, to
so agree with the Council, and that
thereupon the Council should have
the work done at once-with the
proviso that the parties so paying
for the pavement should be permit
ted to Offset such payments against
their respective tax bills.
This would in effect be borrowing
the money by the Town without the
necessity of issuing bonds, or pay
ing interest. The Town could thus
give such permits as it could afford
paving would be begun at once in
some localities, and would proceed
gradually, as it should, and nobody
would be hurt.

Music and RsaIth.

Music, II we are to believe ancient
Historians, has produced some very ex-
traor1inary effects The f1ercaness of
Achilles was allayed by playing on the
harp; Damon, with the same instru-
ment, quoted wild and drunken youths,
and .Asclepiades in a similar manner
brought back seditious multituGes to
temper and reason. The corybantes and
efeninate priests of Cybele were incit-
cd By music TO cut their own flesh. Pin.
OAR addressed his harp thus 'sThou
quenchest the raging thunder" Music
isSalso reported to have been efiicaeious
IN removing dangerous diseases. Miriam
dola observes, IN explanation IF its be-
ing aDpropr lated TO such an end, that
music moves the spirits to act upon the
soul as medicine does the soul by the

Il Is the Small Courtesies That Make Life

ION every hand one hears Of the neg.
fect TO say Thank You, writes Ed
ward W Box on The Saying of Thank
YOU in The Ladies Home Journal
81 wonder sometimes if some people
really know how little of what comes
to them is their due and right and, how
much of what comes to them is by IA
vor and courtesy. The vast majority Of
things which come to US come by pure
favor, by courtesy. And we should rec
cgnize this. No act of kindness, how.
ever slight, should go Hnnoticed. a
Thank you' is a simple thing to say. 1t
requires but few moments to write it,
but it often means much It means ey-
erything sometimes to the person re-
ceiving it It means a renewed faith in
human nature in some cases. A word
Of thanks is never lost, never wasted.
If 1t sometimes seems to be lost upon
the person to whom 1t is directed, its
expression has not been lost upon some
one else who has heard it 1t is certain
y not lost upon ourselves The most of
us are quick enough to thank some one
who does Us great service. But the
small courtesy, just as great as the
large service IN reality, we overlook. It
doesn' t seem worth while tOgIve thanks
for small things. And yet what would
we be today and where would some of
rs be but for the small courtesies Of
life? They are what make life worth
living.
''It is all very well to have the last
Thursday of each November set apart
as day of Thanksgiving, but it would
be far better if a great many of US car
ried the spirit of the day into all the
other days. Perhaps if we did SO we
might have more mercies to be thank
ful-for on Thanksgiving day Do not
let the spirit of thanks stop with night
fall On Thanksgiving day. Let US ex-
tend it to all the other daysof the year,
to the people whose lives touch ours
When we receive favor at the hands
OF any one, no matter how small it may
be, let US say the words, THANK you.
If. they. shOuld.be written, let us write
them Let us not delay them, but take
advantage of the instant when our heart
is touched. Let there be more Thank
yous' said by everybody-thousands OF
them. And the world will be better,
brighter and happier place to live III
because of them.

SICKNESS OF ALL KINDS

Santiago, November 1.-Gen. Leonard Wood, governor of the military depart ment of Santiago, authorizes the state- ment that there has not been case of yellow fever in Santiago city during the last sixty days, and that the ordinary sickness during the same period has been 90 per cent. less than usual at this sea- son.
 In view of the fact that a good many people have been unnecessarily frightened by fictitious tales of suffering, General Wood asks that hereafter all applicants to the various societies for aid be referred to him. If the case is really needy one. he will endorse the application. General Wood does not wish to be understood as saying that no private assistance Is wanted in Santiago. On the contrary, much will be still needed though the present supply is ample for present contingencies.
 He warmly commends the Red Cross so- ciety for continuous help, and for sup plies, which under the direction of off,

Populists Determined to Garry Marshall
 County by Unfair Methods.

Gadsden, November 1.-(Special.) .)-News reaches Gadsden that the popuists of Mar shall county have on foot a scheme to steal the election in that county. The populists of the seventh district are dying hard and they will take desperate chances to win. In the August election Gov Johnston car ried the district by 1,2O0 majority. In Mar shall county the populfsts and republicans combined had a majority ranging from 97 to 231.
 The populists have not given the demo- crats any inspectors at many of the voting places in tSts county, and while the demo- crats concede the county to Street by 300 majority, yet Street and his managers claim that he will carry 1t by 1,S00 to 2,000 majority. This means that an honest elec- ton will not be held in Marshall county next Tuesday if the populists have their way, but the democrats are on the watch and there will be trouble if the popuists attempt fraud.

 The leading Cubans are very anxious to have their people return to work. They are preparing plans to be laid before the gov ernment that will enable insurgents who are willing to work to get employment in building railways in various parts of the island.
 Santiago newspapers are asking General Wood to appoint civilian as mayor of the city, and he will probably designate Senor Leonardo R.os, who was mayor un- der the Spanish regime and was appoint ed by General Shafter the first civil gov ernor after the American occupation, hold ing the office several weeks Senor Rios is a Cuban by birth. Formerly he was an autonomist, but at present he is apparent ly identified with the extremist section of the Cuban party.
 A representative negro has written let ter to General Wood demanding that the negroes, who he says constitutes a large majority of the population of the province. shall be given their rights, and announc- ing his intention to form labor party composed of blacks.
 A party that will labor is really what is wanted here. General Wood asserts, that if the people of the district will not work he will authorize the immigration of for eign workmen.
 Matters cannot remain longer at stand still
