to understand why man should have
voted conscientiously for the Bland
act of 1878 or the so-called Sherman
Act of 1880, and today be ardently for
the gold standard There were mil
lions Of people who would have fought
the abolition of slavery prior to 1861
and who would have died to bring it
about afterward. 1t is all matter OF
the progress of human intelligence in
the light Of educating events.
No Republican. therefore, need be
ashamed to rise in his place in Con-
gress, challenge his own record, and
say that his vote now will repair the
error that he made before the truth
had been SO clearly demonstrated.
The shame, the disgrace attaches those
who still sin against knowledge; who
refuse to learn; who witness the refu-
,tation OF every argument and every
prophecy and still, out Of more obstin=
acy or blind devotion to party, repeat
cry that has became meaningless, a
form of words that has come to signi-
fly only folly or falsehood. 1t is be-
cause the Republican, party can and
will learn and the Democratic party
cannot and will not that the two
stand where they do today-Ledger.

Nothing to be Ashamed of.

1t is probable that large portion
Of the debate on the financial bill will
consist of accusations of change of
front on one side, and explorations on
the other by members whose position
today shows more or less advance over
that which they held a few years ago.
Indeed, this was indicated by the re-
marks made on the reporting of the
special order; when the Democratic
leader OF the house twitted the MAORI
| ty with a change of attitude, and Mr..
Grosvenor retorted aptly that the DIFF
ference between the parties consisted
largely in the fact that Republicans
are able to learn something and Demo-
Gratis are not.
There need not be the least embar-
rassment on the part of any member
! who rises in his place 10 announce
that his opinions have been modified
by the events of the last twenty years
Indeed, nowhere outside of politics
would such a statement be considered
less than title of honor. Life con-
sists in learning things. If our con-
mand of facts does not grow larger,
our judgment surer and our outlook
widen aswe advance in years, then we
are the worst of failures. The only
alternative to growth is stagnation and
decay. In. its accusation against Re-
publieans, the Democratic party
stand self-condemned.
The laststen, years in inparticular have
brought liberal education to the peo-
pie of this country on the subject Of
money. Before that time there we're
few except students who had investi-
gated the financial question. II was
left to the economist and professor.
The average legislator had too many
other things to think about. It was
not until the passage and subsequent
effects of the act OF 1890 aroused and
alarmed the country that the average
man turned his mind to practical fin
anee. Since then we have felt the ed
ucatiye force OF nearly ten years of dis
cussion, including a national cam
paign in which this was the dominat-
ing Issue.
Men who are capable of going
through all this without enlargement
of ideas are not worth much. 1t was
inevitable that some people should
have been on the wrong side in the
beginning. That is no shame to them
The disgrace lies only in being on the
wrong side now. 1t is wholly possible

Newcomers Who are Welcome.

Inc ItpOftS SHOWING pnAF .tnere is
great demand for information concern
ing this state by men who will develop
its resources are of greater interest by
far than the news that capital is seek
ing investment in city property. The
latter is the result; the former is the
cause.
Unless the state of Washington
showed signs of substantial and rapid
development men would not be seek
ing to buy town property. Capital is
not only welcome, but needed. It is
needed to create new means of increas-
ing wealth; to turn raw material into
saleable products, to take out of the
earth the riches possessed by the state
and spread them abroad among an In
creasing and prospering population.
This will be accomplished by the
class of men who are now seeking to
take advantage OF home seekers rates.
One of the agents OF the Nurthern
Pacific says that unlike the immlgra-
ton that generally, in the past, has
sought homes in the new West, the
people who are going to Washington
are "of the better class" and we'll pro-
vided with money. He says that next
year will see the blishment of
many new towns in the far Northwest
and several substantial manufacturing
industries will also be started.
1t is not so much matter of inn
portance that the new corners belong
to what the agent calls a better class.
They are probably better dressed and
more prosperous looking than they
were three or four years ago, but those
who have come to this state to seek
homes have as a rule been of very
excellent class, even though. unfor-.
tunately, they did not always have
very much means 1t is not fattery
to say this. On the contrary, it is a
we'll established fact that families
which set out to seek better opportun-
tiles and to find home in new terri
tory are usually people of good char
acter and steady habits. They often
have to travel in the cheapest way and
te put up with very humble dwellings
on their uncleared land, but they
make good neighbors and reliable citi-
zens. The scum usually finds its way
to the cities.
Nevertheless, it is decided advant-
age for the newcomers to have money
The pioneers life is at best hard
one, and little money helps to make
it far more endurable. It also enables
clearing to be done more rapidly and
thoroughly and. crops to be produced
earlier and better prepared for market.
For those who settle in the cities it
provides freedom from the need of
competition for employment, and en-
ables the immigration to devise new
methods of adding to the city's busi-
ness.
1t is predicted that next year the
/
population Of this state will be in
creased by one hundred thousand per-
sons. That is only the beginning.
This state will become one Of the most
densely populated in the whole coun-

Rev. Coil Announces a Unique
Series Of Sermons.

Rev, Coil, pastor of the Unitarian
church of this city, announced yester-
day morning a unique series of Sun
day evening services. He proposes next
Sunday evening to speak in general
way of the church and the community.
This sermon will be followed by others
in which he will discuss what he con-
ceives to be the message of the church
to the lawyer, the school teacher, the
working man, the business man, the
member Of secret orders, the saloon
keeper, the stage manager, etc. Inas-
much as it is often charged that the
minister fortines himself behind the
pulpit and make his assaults upon
people powerless to defend themselves
Rev. Coil proposes that if any class or
order discussed by him are not salts
ned with his presentation of their
case they shall have the privilege of
designating one of their own number
to present their case from his pulpit
on a subsequent Sunday evening.

Walter Thomas Drowned.

walter the FIVE year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. j. H. Thomas, who live on
Fourth street just above Putnam, was
drowned in the Muskingum river, near
the Boat House, Monday about noon.
The body was soon recovered but all
efferts toward resuscltatlon we're of no
avail.
Walter and another little boy had
gone to the river after dinner to fish,
and the little boy who was with him
says that Walter jumped in after a
frog and dlu MT come up. The little
fellow ran and called a passerby who
ran down to the river and plunged in
At the first dive he found the body and
brought it ashore. Drs. Hart and
Willis were hastily summoned and up
on their arrival eXerted all their pow
ress to restore breathing, but life was
extinct.
The body was taken to the little
boys home, which he had left so short
a time before full of life and childish
spirits. The grief to the parents was
intense. Mr.. Thomas, who works for
the I-eidecker Tool Co., at st. Marys,
was at home over Sunday and had not
yet returned to his work.

A Pennsylvania railroad official who
has been on tour Of inspection
throughout the Western States trav-
ersed by the Pennsylvania lines says
the number of cars to handle the traffic
that presents itself needs to be increas-
ed by so per cent to do the business
For months 1t has been apparent that
there was not enough cars to care for
the freight offered, and for two or
three years car shops have been work
ing busily on new contracts, until 1t
would seem that sufficient new cars
had been built to meet the demands
But there is more of car famine now
than ever. In the coke region, in the
coal fields, at the lumber mills, at the
grain elevators, it is one story. In the
freight yards there is a complaint of
congestion of traffic. Clearly the rail-
roads have all they can do. But they
are not doing business on such scale
as 10 afford relief to the country. With
all # the hurry and extraordinary eff
forts business is of greater volume
than the railroads can handle.
The man who thought that railroad
building had been overdone sees his
error. AS the country expands and the
population increases business multi
plies. The roads that were sufficient
10 years ago are unable now to CORY
the freight From one ocean to anoth-
er railroad building will be in progress
again before the climax of this wave of
prosperity is reached, and the roads
that are now taxed to their utmost will
add miles of new sidings, facilities to
their yards, increased lengths of dou-
Bile tracks, innumerable new cars and
locomotives and everything that goes
to make the line more efficient Rail-
road building, in this country is not
finished. 1t is not even rightly begun
1t will not be finished until every
town ship has road and every county
a double track. The wants of the
country grow faster than the conven-
fences always.--Pittsburg Times.

Van Voorhis in Demand.

Congressman VanVoorhis had the
three best meetings of his experience
at Bartlett, Plymouth and WATERFOWL
Washington county, last week. In each
instance the halls were crowded to
their utmost capacity and the closest
attention was paid the speeches by all
present. 1t is the unanimous feeling
among the people of Washington
county that the Republican majority
there will be a record breaker this
year. The people are prosperous and
cOntented, but they do not intend to
take any chances on allowing the Nc
Lean boodlers to upset things by
"sneaklng" Democratic victory.
They are fully alive to the situation
Mr.. VanVoorhis is assigned to speak
this week as follows: On Monday at
Stockport, on Tuesday at Mountville,
on Wednesday at Elliott, on Thursday
at Pennsville, on Friday at White Cot
tage. On Saturday he received a tele-
gram from the national committee
asking him if he could give next week
to Nebraska, where another campaign
of national Importance is in progress,
and Bryan, Altgeld and Towne are
moving heaven and earth in an effort
to keep the state in the anti-prosperity
column. AS most of his time for next
week has already been promised in
this district, Mr.. VanVoorhis declined
the invitation to go to Nebraska
lines Recorder.

Town Over a Mine Moved.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct 22.-The Spruce

lage of Eveleth, and from which the
renewal of the village has just been

put of $1,000 tons, with as much more
as the operators can put out.
Mr. Charles p. Bailey, former Ma
rietta 10y, now here visiting, has been
experimenting lne above interesting
job of moving the town mentioned.
Eveleth was moved bodily about a
quarter of a mile up a hill,so that min
ing operations might be carried on be-
meath the spot where stood the town,
About 1856 houses were moved.

Will Probably Accept.

DR.. Kirtley, pastor of the Baptist
church at Peoria, ILL.,, filled the pulpit
at the First Baptist church of this city
Sunday. The Baptist church has eX-
tended a call to DR.. Kiruey to accept
the pastorate of their church, left vac
ane by the resignation of Dr. Gear
Dr. -irtley has the matter under con-
sderation and will probably accept
the call.
Those who heard him preach Sunday
say that he is a speaker of great abll-
ity and power. He is a man of pleas
ing address and his prospective COM
ing to Marietta is hailed with delight
by many admirers.
