1t will thus be seen that with tax
levy Of one and One-half mills there is
available assets of SS37.99 due the dis
trict, and that the State appropriation
was sufficient to defray more than one
half of the entire expenses Of school dis
trict for all purposes.
1t will thus be seen that to establish
another school, SO as to accommodate
the children Of the petitioners and 9TH
ers i'm said district would impose no un-
ford township. The fact that some Of
the children that attend the other
schools in the township had to travel
long distances to school, SO much relied
on at the argument, is not decisive of
the question now under confederation
if at all mate rial.
No doubt there are individual cases
in almost every township where chill
dren are compelled to go two miles or
more to school. This in some cases at
least, owing to the topography Of the
district is unavoidable. But it rarely
occurs that 80 many are thus incOm-
mOded as in the present case.
Nor is the fact that some of the psti.
TONERS are tenants who rent their homes,
which was dwelt upon by the counsel
for respondents at the argument, EMIT
led to much weight. The only possible
bearing it could have would be theil
liability to move elsewhere and their
places be taken by others without fam
lilies or children of sufficient age to at
tend the public schools. This is too
uncertain and remote to excuse the non
performance Of a public duty. The
parent who rents his house IL as much
entitled to the privileges, advantages
and benefits Of the school law, as the
landholder who owns his broad acres
and begrudges perhaps the modicum Of
taxes he is compelled to pay to educate
the children Of his less fortunate

Juniata county, in the northern portion
Of the Muddy Run section that Is with

End. That the school directors of said
township have wilfully neglected and
refused to provide schOOl-hOuse, room

and convenient accommodation Of the
school children residing within the dis

accommodations some of the pupils Of

NEW YORK, April 6.-Every New York
man who takes a ride on one of the
surface street cars these days Is apt to
think for moment or two at least about
William c. Whitney before he reaches his
journeys end. Mr.. Whitney Is the
angel of the New York transportation
business. His name stands for. unlimited
cash and unlimited ability. His work
means cheap fares and rapid rides, and
that is why New Workers call him good
angel" He Is known to be almost ready
for the work of tunneling Manhattan
Island from south to north and making
suburban transportation swifter than
ever before. Further than all this, Mr..
Whitney has made a bigger fortune for
himself and his associates in six short
years than anybody else ever did in the
same length of time. His own fortune
Is now one Of the big fortunes of the
world. No wonder people think much
and talk much of him.
William C. Whitney is one of the men
who are successful in their undertakings.

To Roll Through Water.

H. R. Shaw, of Rasseau, Canada, has
recently been awarded a patent for the
roller boat, designed by him, his device
having passed the various examina tons
and been pronounced entirely new and
novel in every respect. His claim for this
craft is that it will have great speed
with great personal comfort, and while
this boat will work it's way through the
water at a speed hitherto unknown in
sea-going craft, passengers will not be
as much subjected to- the discomforts
of seasickness as those travelling on the
slower boats His design consists of
two cylindrical shells, one within the
other. The cylinders are tapering to-

pivoted. This swinging rail and its at
tachments take the place of the usual
frog. and IL Is operated by bride rod
much the same as the ordinary type of
switch. Several advantages are claimed
for this besides the very humane fea-
ture OF saving lives by dispensing entire
ly with the guard rails. The ends Of
the movable rail are pointed and made
to fit snugly into the main rail in such
way as there is no jar whatever as
the train passes by, and consequently
no reduction Of the speed is necessary
at switches.

Switch without a Frog.

A very common form Of railroad acct
dent Is that which occurs to brakeraer
by the foot being held in front of an ap-
preaching train by tho Victims shoe be-
coming wedged In a swith or between
the main rail and the guard rails, which
are always found at switches. Chiefly
with the view Of avoiding such casual
ties frogless switch has been invented
by John Graham. of Fort Worth, Tex,

with this improvement is shown In the

by Peter Gerlach, of Cleveland. o. The
cutting is done by a Golfer or knife-edged
wheel, fastened by means of ferrule to
a long pole. The path of the wheel is
closely followed by share which is also
secured to the ferrule, the cutting edge
of the share being slightly above the cut

it is readily possible to make cut in a
perfectly straight line or curved as de-

Capt. Thos. D. Ransom, of this city;
Judge Geo. K. Anderson, of Clifton
Forge; ex-Congressman Jas. W. Mar
shall, of-Craig; VIM. A. Anderson and
Frank T. Glasgow, of Lexington, and
Attorney General Montague, have
signed an address calling for conven.
tion of Democrats to be held in Rich
mond in May for the purpose of devils
ing ways and means to give the people
an opportunity to vote for United
States Senator. The address is a
lengthy one and embodies a number
of points favoring the idea to let the
people say. 1t is a move that We
heartily endorse and it is to be hoped
that the Democratic press will lend
its aid in bringing it to the attention
of the people. There are no safe
grounds for opposing this move and
those who attempt to fight it will not
find themselves in the majority. The
people have been longing for the time
to come when their voice could be heard
in matters of this kind and it is the
people that we congra tulate. Let the
May convention be largely attended.

There seems to be q steady increase
of ambassadors in this vicinity, and
the probability is that fine results may
be obtained if we treat them right.
We have heretofore had occasion to
call attention to the fact that persons
holding lands for sale have taken al
vantage of the presence OF buyers to
enhance the value of their property
much above that which induced the
buyer to come here, and have thereby
run the purchaser to other sections
We recognize the right of owners to
get all they can for their lands; but 1t
is not fair to induce persons TO come
under the impression that they can
purchase at a certain price and find
when they get here that the price is
really fifty to seventy-fiye per cent
higher than they understood them

1t is encouraging to know that land
seekers are invading Virginia. TIL
is what our State needs and we con
graduate our sister county on tn
steady increase of this desired class o
people whom the Progress mentions
Our contemporary also calls attention
to an important fact in connection
with this matter and that is the will
ingness of land own ars to set a pric
on their lands and then when the puT
chaser arrives and agrees to close tn
deal, to raise the price. This, as tn

it should be speedily stopped. Viz

TRUSTS AND DEMOCRACY.

There is CLEARLY arising u great I'M
easiness among the people at the as
founding growth of trusts in every
branch of business, whose object is to
concentrate it in few hands to the
end that the profits may be made
greater and more certain. There is an
assertion of a further object in the
declaration that such concentration oil
business lessons its cost and inures to
the benefit of the consuming public
And such result may undoubtedly
come from it; but it is just as cleaI
that is not the object of the consolida
tion; and it is clear that such consoll
dalton, in putting the business into
the hands of the few, enables them to
dictate prices and terms and put thu
consumer under their control; so thai
| ii he does not suffer it is,.because ths
trust is wise enough to see that its
permanent prosperity must be baset
| upon the public admission that it is a
benefactor; and few can be trusted tt
show such wisdom and such self con
| troll, trusted with absolute power.
The argument is exactly similar tt
the one that defended an absolute gov
ernmen1 that does not derive its power
from the consent of the governed, bu
bases it upon the idea that an absolute
monarchy or oligarchy is stronge
| than a democracy and better able t.
conduct government; which may b'
said to be true, if the monarch o.
oligarch may be always wise enough
and unselfish enough to act for TIL
good of the people and not for thei
own when they think that the publl
| good is not their good.
