Daily new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1897-1906, 1899-02-03

This is what neighboring ex-
change says about a public spirited
citizen and what he can do for his
town: The prosperity Of a town, vii
lage or city is not guided by the
wealth of its inhabitants, but by the
uniformity with which they pull to-
gether when an important duty is to
be accomplished. A man with a
thousand dollars at his command and
an interest in the welfare of his town
at heart will do more for the building
and improvement Of it than million
aire who locks up his capital and
snaps his fingers at home progress.

POLITICAL NSMCER/TY,

Political insincerity has lone more to
and retard its growth, than all other
causes combined. Year in and year out
political principles have been manipu-
hated like chips on a faro table, and men
with large purses and small consciences
have shaped events to conserve their
personal interests, regardless of the pub
lie veal. Sychophants and lickspittles,
and faWning political mushrooms, have
yielded ready service of any kind or
character demanded. in return for cheap
instailnlents Of honor or cash.
While there are thousands of honest.
We'll meaning democrats in his state,
who have the interests of the
wealth at heart. it is notorious, both at
home and abroad, that the so-called po-
litical l~ieutenants and s~ub-lieutenants Of
the respective factions of the democratic
party have in large measure surrender
ed their own convictions of right and
wrong to the political or business ext
sencies of the men to whom they offer
up their diurnal prayers of alteration and
praise. 1t is a sickening picture for in
telligent, self-res speeding human beings to
look upon, and it ecomes doubly SO When
out of such conditions have grown a

cLARKSWORNI IN.

Late advices from Washington state
mat Mr.. W. a. Clark was sworn in as
United States senator from Montana
without protest being made to his taklhS
the oath Of office. After the oath a

mantary objections to his taking his seat
in that body We're submitted in due form.
and referred to the committee on priyi-
leges and elections.
While it might appear. on the face OF
things. that Mr.. Clark scored q point IN
securing his seat in advance Of an inves-
~tigation into his title, IL does not neces-
sarily follow that any material advan-
tage has been secured. He was entitled
to his seat on the strength of his %certili-
cate Of election. regardless of what may
or may not follow the line Of investigation
pursued by the committee having his
case in charge. =
Objections formally made to the taking
of the saith of office would have ~necessi-

Of a persunptive character, with proof to

his fate.
There can be no rational doubt as to
the fairness and intelligence With which
the case Will be investigated by that
committee. 1t will be influenced by
none of the factional %preiudices that
characterize the two wings Of the dem
ocracy in this state. All that partakes
of political jealousy and hatred on either
side will be eliminated, and the facts
pro and con given all the significance
to which they are entitled.
The Montana public may rest assured
that Justice will be done in the work OF
the committee, insofar as it is able to Sc
cure the facts that tend to prove the
guilt or innocence of the accused mem
Der of the senate. 1t is fair to say thai
the outcome will be in accordance With
the ascertained facts, whether it con
firms Mr.. Clark's title to his seat or de-
crees his expulsion from that body. r.
the meantime, the respective verdicts
rendered by the Anaconda Standard AND
the Butte Miner will have small bearing
on the situation, however delightful they
may be for holiday reading.

THE GOVERNORS PROTEST..

Regardless of the merits or dement's
of the Clark co troversy, the action of
state officers in signing a protest against
the seating of the senator-elect was in
exceedingly bad taste. This criticism
applies with particular force to the gov
the individual nay exercise the prcroga-
eminent, has al tempted to destroy the
work officially performed by the lesis-
lative branch Of the government, in a
exercise the veto power.
Whatever may the personal opinions
of Governor Smith, or any other gentle
man opposed to he seating of Mr.. Clark,
as to the improper use of money, the fact
remains that so far the allegations made
against him hsve not been officially
affirmed by a court of justice. While
the individual may exercise the preroga-
tive of believing in Mr.. Clark's guilt
without that formality, and govern him
self accordingly. it i'll becomes the chief
executive Of thu state to officially pro-
clainl-on the strength of evidence that
never has been iudicially verified-that
the sixth legislative assembly was a body
of criminals.
In officially protesting against the seat
ing of Mr.. Clark, the governor has ac-
cused the democratic legislature of this
state-a co-ordifl tie branch of the gov
ernment-of committing a heinous crime

CONGRESS- c0KYENES.

To-day the first session OF the Fiftv-
Sixth congress convened and entered
upon the preliminary work incident to
the opening hours of that body. At the
outset the disposition of the Roberts
Ease in the house and the Clark case in
the senate will excite widespread inter-
est and attention, regardless of the char
acter OF the action taken. But when
such matters shall have been adjusted,
questions of grave national concern will

enlist the activities of both bra Of
congress, and the work of the forthcom-
inc winter will mark an era in the his
tory of our republic.
Legislation looking to the manage
ment Of our new possessions. and the
adjustment of matters growing out of
the wal with Spain and in the Philip
pines, will require painstaking consider
alton, and out of the positions taken by
the respective political parties on these
questions, will come the issue of en-
pansion shaped up for the campaign of
next year. Cuban affairs will come in
for a lengthy review and the duty of our
government TO continue it's protectorate
or abandon it. will be fully discussed
and some course of procedure definitely
outlined for the future. .
Whatever Affirmative action is taken
on n of these propositions. will be
negatived by the democratic minority,
with a view to laying the foundations for
a political campaign of opposition to the
SANS ~ iAiA5' A1 aoIOl-
less will be considerable sparring on
the trust question, though leading DEM
ocrats are SO thoroughly tied up in such
business enterprises that they will make
no serious attempt to force the issue to
a conclusion. The fact that all the anti
trust legislation so far enacted has
been through republican sources, and
that no democratic legislature has at
tempted to place a check on such COM
binations of capital when it was pos
sible to legislate in their favor, indicates
ties in congress on that question:.
There will be pronounced democratic
opposition to the proposed financial leg
~islation of the republicans, but it is not
likely to take on the form of an advocacy
Of free coinage at the established ratio
of 16 to 1. The fight on the currency
bill will not be made in the interests of
silver per Sc, but with a view to some
scheme of financial legislation other thar
that advocated by the republican party.
The outcome will probably count for lit
tie as a political issue in quarters where
the democracy wish to work the free
coinage question as a side proposition.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY ON THE
TRAVELLING PLAN.

Mr.. Sommerville, of Scottsdale, ia
in the city with the idea of estab-
ishing station of the new Parmelee
system of Travelling Library, The
plan is to take library of thousand
volumes and divide it into equal SEQ
tions, which circulate between twenty
towns, rema ming several months at
each place. Thus each town has the
benefit of a good library at only a
fraction of what the cost would be
without such CO operation.
We have examined the catalogue
of the Parmelee library. The books
are all of sterling merit, by the best
authors. carefully and impartially
selected, There is not trashy book
in the whole list. Moreover they are
mp to date and include best of the
latest works, such as those relating to
Cuba and the Spanish war.
Worthy of special praise is the
system of quarterly readings OH his :
toric, social and economic topics,
whereby one may have practically all
the advantages of the Chatauqua at
only a small fraction of the cost.
We have also looked jr'o the e.
rancial standing of the company and
find them all O. X. They. are in
corporated for $4,000, over half of
which is paid up. Letters from lead
ing banks of Chicago and Des Moines
report them as having fulfilled all
their engagements for the past l6
odd years that thsy have been il.
the library work.
The day has gone by when it is
necessary to tell an Intelligent com
munity that they need a library; this
is granted, the only question is, How
can one best be established and main :
tanned Certainly, we should be glad
to have large stationary library in
Mesa; but as this does not seem at all
practicable, either for the present or
| -. q
the near future, it appears to us quite
wise tc seize the opportunity of becom :
ing part of this Travelling Library
system, whereby we secure the use oi
an excellent set of books combined
with oSher advantages, cost merely
nominal less than one-half cent t
day.

but few days longer. We advis'
those interested in this excellent worl
, to see him as soon as possible.

OUR NORMAL SCHOOL.

The following is the Report Of the
Board of Visitors on our Normal
School. A PEI usal of the same will
show that it is making substantial pro-
gress and reflects great credit on the
Principal, DR.. James McNaughton,
for his able and conservative mana ge-
ment of the institution.
To the Sapt of Public Instruction:
The Visiting Committee of the
Normal School of Arizona beg to
report upon the condition of the said
school at Tempe, as follows:
There are TT students enrolled, aif
but two of whom are residents Of
ARIZONA, seven being High School
graduates. The new building. now
complete, can accommodate about
800 students when fully Furnished,
besides the practice school. The fac
ulty consists of six teachers who are
badly overworked. Gould there be
two or three more added the work
would more specialized, and it would
facilitate more progress in the higher
branches. The library is weak, es-
pecially in books OF reference, and the
laboratories need more apparatus. II
these can be added to the facilities
and working force of the institution,
it will greatly augment the present
high grade of work done. and with
the spirit Of activity and honest labor
manifested by, the faculty and stu
dents, will certainly prove most graf
flying and satisfactory to the pro-
gressive people and the taxpayers OF
the Territory.
The course of study compares very
favorably with that of state normsl
schools in the East, and is now so
systemized as TO produce better re-
suits than formerly, with less wear
and tear.
There is a growing pride and aztec :
ton for the school among the stu
dents. which should be encouraged.
To that end we recommend some i'm
provements about the grounds and
the employment of a gardener, that
the natural oeauty of the campus be
polished and made to blossom as the
rose. Electric light and water works
are needed and will soon be available.
With these few improvements the
school will be well rounded and com
plete, and will still more fully engage
the pride and admiration of all, and
will many times repay the investment
by its Improvement of the school
syste m of ARIZONA.
Respectfully Submitted,
