BBr1A1RR HAPPENINGS.
Matters Of Interest In the Metropolis
Of Belmont County.

Of Belmont County.
The public pulse was felt yesterday
to a degree as TO the project of start
ing the Aetna glass and manufacturing
plant on the basis Of the proposition
made by the present owners, and there
Is not much probability Of the matter
being contaminated. The facts are
that while the people generally would
encourage the starting OF the works
and would be gratihed to have the
plant in operation, those who are ex-
pected to furnish the money do not
come TO the front on the proposition
that has been made. There Is no
doubt that company can be organic
ed on a basis that more nearly meets
the Views of those who are willing to
invest their cash, but the project that
has been talked does not meet general
approval, Most persons talk very fav-
orably, but their subscriptions are not
made, and II the project Is to succeed
at all It will be only upon some reor-
ganIzed plan.
Isaac N. Grafton died at his home in
the Fourth ward, Monday evening, in
the seYenty-third year OF his age. For
months he had been almost helpless
from paralysis, yet he bore his afiiic-
ton and met death with fortLtude
that Is unusual. He was ore OF the
best known men in the city, OF kind
and genial disposition, and was well
liked by those who knew him best. He
was a member Of the First Methodist
Episcopal church. and OF Ionic Lodge,
r. & A. NJ, and other societies. The
funeral viii take place this afternoon
at 2 o'clock. from the family residence.
The wife, who survives him, has the
sympathy Of a large circle OF friendu.

Uncle Tp,n,a unhin.n

"Uncle Toms Cabin" never grows
old. There runs through 1t a vein Of
pathos peculiarly touching and sweet.
Like the kiss of child. It conduers by
the very innocence Of It's breath. The
scenery Is excellent. In the river scene
one sees the floating cakes Of ice slow
ly moving down STRAIN. The planta-
ton scene depicts a typical southern
home, with It's cotton fields. It's man
sion and log cabins. The last scene In
this picturesque drama has perhaps
taxed the skilled painter and mechanic
more than any spectacle that the stage
can boast. It Is not fiattery to say that

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

| Once more the annual gathering OF
the Christian Endeavor hosts, in ses-
sion at Detroit, draws attention to the
most remarkable religious movement
of the age. The growth of the Chris
tian Endeavor idea and its application
has heretofore been so truly magical
and the results so marvellous that it
| seemed to many that the movement
must have spent its force and the eli
max must have been reached. Yet the
reports just presented at Detroit GER
tainly dispel these ideas. The enroll
ments show a total of 50, 813 societies,
with membership of 100000. So
far is the mov%nent from its climax
and reaction HAT since last year the
net gain in number of societies is
nearly two thousand societies with
over one hundred thousand new mem
bers. Russia, one year ago the only
country in the world without its Chris
tan Endeavor society, has welcomed
it's principles and methods, and today
the international fellowship is COM
plete and worldwide. Great Britain
has over 5000 societies. Australia has
over 1000, India has asa, China 148,
Africa 1876. Mexico 10S, West Indies
103, Germany 101, Madagascar SO, ia
pan 49, and Spain, rent with war and
turmoil, has more than neld its own,
for she has thipty-six societies. Scarce
ly less wonderful than its general
scope IS the adaptability of the En-
deavor idea. Over a hundred societies
are to be found upon merchantmen
and men-of-war; many in the soldiers
camps, and in prisons, schools of re-
form, warehouses;, almshouses, asy-
luns, institutions for blind and deaf,

The hew cup defender Columbia
promises very well. Every patriotic
American will hope that she will re-
tain that long fought over trophy. the
queens cup, in this country. But,
when you come to think it all over,
and mind the chapter of accidents, and
the many chances of wind and wealth
er, and boat handling, and other mat
ters that enter into a contest between
vessels propelled by sails. it is 4
worlds wonder that somehow, and at
some time, the cup has not been recap
tured from US even by a f1uke, during
the forty-eight years that it has been
over here. To hold that trophy for
nearly half a century has been a glo-
1ious triumph for American naval
construction when constantly chal-
1enged by that of the nation that
boasts herself the mistress of the seas
1t IS not 81 all improbable that some
day We shall have to part with the
queens cup. But we may, at least,
indulge the hope, judging from the
way the Columbia starts out in her
training for the race with the Sham
rock, that the loss of the trophy TO re-
cover which every English yschtsman
would almost give his cars, will not
occur this year

From figures published by the New
York Journal of Commerce it appears
that of the trusts that have been or
gained recently about thirteen have
fallen through and have been aban-
doned, their proposed capitalization
being $34S, DOC, 900, and that at the
present time about $1,100, 100000 of
trust securities is going begging on
an Indifferent market" These, and
other indications, tend to show that
the trust EPIDEMIC has reached its eli
max and is subsiding. 1t is plain that
the public is getting shy of those in
dustrial stocks, which do not speak for
themselves without puffery or argu-
ment, and that the prophecy that the
mania for industrial organization
would find its natural barrier in GER
tain essential laws OF finance has been
vindicated,

BOURBONIsM's PASSING.

| There appears to be a f1rst-class op-
party to break further into the solid
south and perhaps add another state
to it's permanent adherence For some
years Kentucky has been breaking
away from its democratic moOrings,
and IN 1895 il elected its present repub-
lican governor by a plurality OF S,912,
which. however, was due to democratic
disaffections. But in presidential cleo
tions-the best test-the majOrities
rolled up by the Bourbons of the Blue
Grass state have dwindled steadily
from the time of Tilden's 81, 900 until
in 1896 il disappeared entirely and Nc
Kinley received a plurality of 261. 1t
is therefore reasonable to consider
Kentucky henceforth debatable ground
under normal conditions. The Tepub-
lican chances in the forthcoming state
election are rendered brighter by the
open and widespread revolt caused by
the nomination of Senator Goebel for
governor after a protracted and dis
graceful convention whose acrimonies
and disorderly scenes were enough to
disgust every decent citizen of the
commonwealth. A more unpopular
nominee than Goebel could not have
been chosen, and a score of his own
party's leading men have come OUT
f1at-footed against him. He is more
over a rampant silverite and a hater
of corporations, and his stand on these
questions will array the honest money
forces and the shareholders in stock
companies against him. The aliena-
lions of two successive campaigns will
possibly change permanently the po-
litical complexion of the state and
make the once far-famed bOurbonism
of Kentucky only a dim tradition.

An Edinburgh banker, named Fra
ger, who is in New York, believes that
prosperity comes in cycles. He says:
Il am not a believer in the potency
of political regime for good or evil
OF course, 1 don't mean that a wicked
government can't do great harm, or
that a good government can't help
things along, but am not one to lay
every national blessing or every ma
tional curse at the feet of the govern
ment Now, you Americans think you
are prosperous because the republicans
are in power I don't 1 think you
are prosperous because this is your
cycle of prosperity. Our turn viii
come after a while" All the same, it
must strike Mr. Frazer, if he is
thoughtful man and reader of history,
as a funny coincidence that this coun-
try's cycles of prosperity have gener-
ally turned up when the party of pro-
lection hes been in power.
