The Merchants Winged Messenger.

A merchant in his store surrounded
by gorgeous wares about which the
public know nothing would be
in the same eXasperating predica-
ment in which Sinbad found himself
when lost in the Valley of Diamonds.
The splendor would be there, but to
what profit? Unlike Sinbad, how
ever, the merchant would need no
mighty eagle to bear him away on its
broad back; he would require one to
bring people to him. To apply the
metaphor further, the eagle within
his control is advertising; and surely
there is no modern messenger more
powerful than this great agency,
myriad winged as it is by countless
newspapers Its fight knows no
bounds, and it carries far and wide in
the sunlight of publicity the tidings
which benefit both merchant and
patron.
The Republican., 1899-04-20
Advertising Always Pays

Advertising is an indication of pros
perity; yet too many merchants seem
to believe that without favorable
trade conditions and actual prosper
ity represented by busy mills, plenty
of money and numerous sales adver-
tising does not pay. They appear to
forget that from sheer necessity peo-
pie must be always buying something,
whether times be good or financially
dull. Being, therefore, compelled to
buy, the next question with the pur-
chaser is where to buy. Naturally
the merchants who are not chary in
the use of the advertising columns of a
good newspaper will get their patron
age. 1t pays to advertise constatly !;
the mere publication of an intermit-
tent announcement is an improbable
practice for the merchant to follow.

The PhiIiDDiDes.

No QUESTION fraught with more
vital interests to the future of our
country has ever presented itself than
the one now claiming the attention of
the American people. AS result of
our war with Spain we find ourselves
engaged in a war with the inhabi-
tants of our newly acquired territory
in the Philippine islands. The advo-
Gates of expansion are met by their
opponents with the charge of imperi-
alism. Those who claim the immediate
evacuation of the Philippine islands
and turning over to Aguinaldo and
his followers the territory ceded to
us by Spain, as the proper course to
follow, are told that we must meet
bravely and at all hazards the respon-
sibilities thrust upon us by war.
This is no party question but con-
fronts us as did the war with Spain,
when as with one voice our Congress
came to the assistance of the Presi-
dent and voted the $50,000,0O0 for
Immediate use in defense of the claims
made by our nation.
The ablest statesmen of both great
political parties are discussing the
momentous issues some democrats
of national reputation favoring the
acquisition of all territory the chan
ces of war have given us shadow of
claim to. In this they are upheld
by many of the foremost leaders of
the republican party. Again we find
in the latter party men who have
been looked up to as wise counselors
in all perplexing questions, and who
have ever been ready to defend a
republican administration, standing
shoulder to shoulder with democrats
The Republican., 1899-04-20

American genius, which will place us
upon an equality with the nations of
Europe, who have been and are still
straining every nerve for commercial
supremacy.
That coming to us unsought as it
were, and only by the chances of war,
a moral obligation entails upon us to
care for these people whom we CON
slider unfit for self government. That
our Declaration of Independence in
allusiOn to powers of governments,
contemplated only such as were com
petent to enact a form of government
suitable for the general welfare OF
those to be governed, and that the
most intelligent of the Filipinos ia
vored the retention by the United
States of the territory acquired. That
Jefferson himself set us an example as
an eXpansionist in the purchase
from France in 1903 of the Louisiana
territory.
No definite solution of the problem
has been reached. 1t is held that the
Filipinos must submit to the author
ity of the United States and when
peace shall have been established a
form of government acceptable to the
luIdDludllS Vi llle lSldu(lS, anu con-
ducive to their welfare will be formu-
lated.
This is the attitude of the admins
tration as thus far promulgated.
President Mckinley has been assailed
and some of his supposed advisers
rudely attacked by the partisan and
non-partisan press of the country.
These criticisms are uncalled for and
unjust. In the light the subject pre-
sents itself, with views so diametri-
.eally opposed, what course could be
pursued that would be regarded as
the wisest and best? Our safe course
is to await developments. Let ces-
sation of hostilities enable order out
of chaos to be established. Let us
determine the disposition and capa-
bilities of the Filipinos; then and not
till then will the future of the islands
be determined.

Maple Sugar Crop.

Mr.. U. NJ. Stanton, of Grantsville,
was in Oakland Tuesday on business
of this paper stated that the present
has been the most successful season
for the maple sugar and maple syrup
manufacturers for a large number of
years. The season lasted four or
five weeks and those owning trees
made good use of the favorable
weather. Mr.. Compton made $500
pounds at his farm near Grantsville,
the greater portion of which was re-
duced to syrup and will be sold to
consumers. Others in the Northern
section of the country report equally
as good yields and are accordingly in
happy mood over their success in
this particular line.

New Telephone Line in Operation.

Direct communication from Oak
land with towns in the northern end
of this county was established on Sat
urday afternoon last when the tele-
phone line was finished and cOnnec-
tions made here with the central office
which is located at Mr.. Samuel Law
toms store on Second street.
The new line puts one in close touch
with the citizens of Friendsville, Sci
bysport, Accident, McHenry and
Thayerville and a number of West
Virginia and Pennsylvania towns
which are connected with the new
line at Friendsville where an exchange
ment of Mr.. William Frederick, jr.,
has been in successful operation for a
year or more.
The editor of this paper had the
distinguished honor of being among
the first of Oakland's citizens to con
verse over the line and the voices of
persons at Accident and Friendsville
were readily recognized.
A meeting of the directors of the
telephone company will be held some
night this week when arrangements
will be made to establish phones in
the places of business of those in Oak
land who desire them. A number
have already expressed a desire to
become subscribers to the line and its
success is an established fact.
Lines may be run this summer to
connect Bittinger, Grantsville and
other places in this county with the
towns already having lines running
to Oakland which will be great CON
venience to everyone having business
to transact in the county seat and
will save many a hard days drive
over rough roads and through the
storms of winter.
The new line was built by stock
company formed of the citizens of
Garrett county, Mr.. William A. Smith,
of Hoyes, being the leading spirit in
establishing the line.

a Word With You, Young Men.

Thousands of young men will cast
their first ballots in 1900. Those bal
lots may, in all probability will, decide
the next presidential election, and
adjust for a number of years the
policy of the government regarding
questions of the tariff, finance and
international progress.
Young men, do you realize the stu
alton? If not, then pause and reflect.
There are two great parties in this
country, and only two. All others are
mere sideshows, where special flashy
features are advertised, but whose
performances are not worth the price
of admission, Once inside of their
tents and ones sensibilities are
shocked, for nothing but deformities,
and freaks and frauds are encoun-
tered.
Shun them!
The other two parties are the Re-
publican and Democratic. Their
principles are divergent as the two
great oceans. Their leaders have pecu-
liar sectional ideas and principles.
Their history seldom, if ever, blends
and harmonizes.
The democratic party is old and
frostbitten. It's leaders have gener-
ally drifted with the shift of senti-
ment, as exemplified by the lives of
such men as Calhoun, Van Buren and
Bryan, pandering to every ISM
imaginable, and thus often winning
victories by cornering all dissatisfied
voters by specious arguments mean
ing one thing in one section of the
country and exactly the reverse in
another section thereof Or it has
whinned at the feet of an Andrew
Jackson or a Grover Cleveland, whose
theoretic exactions have swept the
country with the bosom of destruc
tion, by closing mills, darkening fac
tories and striking down the honest
American laborer. It's history, except

Tried and True.

rffhe-Se,.ldition of the republican
party in Maryland today is certain
ly most encouraging to all well
wishers of that grand organization
which stands as the exponent of good
government. The excellent conduct
of State affairs by Governor LOwndes,
and the able administration of Mayor
Malster, in Baltimore, have earned
for the party prestige in State and
city affairs never before enjoyed, and
larger grows that vast body of citi-
zens who see in republicanism-prog-
ress, good government and material
advancement.
The republican party promised ad-
ministrative reforms and it has given
them to the people. 1t has worked
improvements all along the line. In
the schools. In purifying elections.
In economic expenditures. In seeing
that public officials are honest. In
having the State derive full benefit
from its sources of revenue. And the
State and Baltimore City have pros
pered under republican management,
and the ways of the democratic bosses
and corruptionists have given way
to clean and upright business meth
ods, and the people thank the repub-
Hcan party for it. And it would not
be natural for them to want demo-
cratic misrule again. The republican
party has been tried and found true.

THURSDAY. APRIL 20, 1899.

THE report that Thomas b. Reed
has made up his mind to drop politics
and go into business will be a source
of regret to his countrymen, if it shall
prove to be we'll founded. The peo-
pie are best served when such men as
he make politics their business.

CUsTER.-Mrs Estella Custer, wife
of Mr.. Irwin Custer, and daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Jesse Warwick was born
April 10th, 1879, and departed this
lite, suddenly April 18th, 1899. She
lacked 6 days of being 20 years old.
She was a true companion, an affec-
tionate daughter, loving sister, and
a friend to everybody. We believe
none knew her but to love her
Although young she had been con
sistent member of the NJ. f. church
for number of years and teacher
in the Sunday school. She was
buried from the Reformed church at
New Germany, her funeral services
being conducted by the writer.
A large concourse of relatives and
friends followed her to her last rest
ing place. Her relatives have our
deepest sympathy in this their hour
of great bereavement. We believe
their loss is her gain.

HER PROPER SPHERE.
Conversion of Town to "Advanced
Ideas" for Women.

|
A recent clerical Elimination
against any other education for wom-
en- than the polishing and finishing
and pretty-fool-looking variety re-
minds me of an occurrence out at
Torringford, Conn, in the early days
of the anti-slavery agitation. In
those days certain educated and tall
ented young Quakeress, Miss Abby
Kelley, felt thespirit move her to take
part in the anti-slavery movement.
She went to DR.. Hudson, the general
agent of the Connecticut Anti
Slavery society, and made known to
him her purpose to speak in public
on the subject. DR.. Hudson provided
her with opportunities to do SO, and
Torringford was one of the places
where she spoke. There was intense
interest in her appearance on the part
of the women, and corresponding
grief and alarm on the part of ortho-
dox conservatism. The local minis
ter denounced her as "that woman
Jezebel, who called herself a prophet
ess to teach and seduce my servants. 7"
Not content with this, he called a
meeting at the academy to protest
against the outrage upon public de-
cency involved in the appearance Of
woman as a public speaker. A large
crowd attended, the women filing
one side Of the hall, facing their lords
and masters, who we're marshaled on
the other side. The minister read the
chapter Of st. Paul which applies to
the subject, laying special stress on
the text: "Wives, obey your hus-
bands" Then he declaimed long and
loudly on the proper sphere of wom-
en-, and denounced all those who de-
parted from it to obtain educations
which were not adapted to their mod
est duties IN life, or to become public
teachers or speakers. He had just
finished his discourse, having
clinched it with a final rhetorical
flourish about woman's sphere, when
suddenly the floor timbers on the
women's side of the house gave way
and every woman and girl was
dropped into the cellar. And there,
from amidst the tangle of bruised
women and rotten timbers, an elderly
woman's voice was heard rising:
'Well! l hope we've reached our
proper sphere now!" 1 understand
that Torringford is a stronghold of
advanced views on the subject of
women's education to this day. Such
is the irony of fate.-Boston Tran
script.
