and twenty five OF the faithful who
answered the summons. Consider
able discussion took place and the
meeting adjourned after leaving the
matter in the hands of town execu
tive committee who were appointed
The sentiment was expressed that
it would endanger Tho matter of con-
solicitation if the partisan politics
racket was made too prominent just
now. 1t would be all right to allow
things to 60 as they had in the past
and then when the first city election
election came off it would be soon
enough TO place strict party ticket
in the field and to elect that il the
voters then desired to do so.
Atpresent however it was con-
eluded that it would be little risky
for several reasons to take the step.
However the matter was in The hands
of the executive committee and If
they see fit they can call a conven
tion to nominate full town ticket.
The chances are after what was said
that nothing of the kind will be
done.
The town election comes on Jan.
uary third. This is only short
time in the future and some steps
should be taken to place a strong
ticket in the field. TO the end that
the best interests of the town may
be served the New DOMINION asks
suggestions from the voters of all
parties on the best men to act as
town officers.

The Subsidy Puzzle.

The German newspapers are asking
some very pertinent questions about
the ship subsidy bill that Congress is
expected to pass. Among other
things, they want to know why ma
tion as rich and enterprising as we are
and having, as they say, the cheapest
coal, steel and machinery In the
world, should have to pay our own
citizens to build ships and make mon
ey out OF sailing them. That is what
a good many Americans would like to
know.

ARE COMING HOME.
All Volunteer Regiments to be
Started Soon.

twenty or Twenty-Five Transports are
to be Used-Tw0 Trips all That Will
be Required to Bring Them Over
I've Regiments and FIVE Thousand
Sick 10 Come First.
1t is now pretty we'll understood
that all of the volunteer regiments
now in the Philippines will be at
home on or before the first of April.
They will be mustered out at once
and before Spring is here they will
have retaken their places among us.
Morgantown has a number of men
over there and they will be gladly
welcomed back at home.
Orders have been issued for the
return of two regiments. These are
the 18th cavalry and the 37th :nfan
try. Both these regiments were
raised in the islands and of course
they would be the first to come
home. There is one other regiment
which was recruited there and they
will come in the first detachment.
Along with the two regiments which
are to be sent over at once are to
come all of the convalescents in the
islands.
1t is estimated that there from
FIVE to six thousand men who are
Unfit fer duty and they will be sent
home. Among them is Arthur Dor
sey member of the 30th regiment
band. He has steadily refused to
come ahead of the rest OF the band
but it is not probable that his wish
es will be consulted in the matter
any further and that be will be sent
in spite of what he may desire in
that direction.
A communication from the Quar-
termaster Generals department re-
ceived by Mrs. Casteel states that
arrangements are now being made
to bring all of the volunteers home
in the near future. Orders have
been issued for the concentration OF
twenty or twenty-five transports in
Manila and the men will be sent
home in two expeditions. There are
90 regiments to come.
Ten of these raised under the first
call and ten under the second. In
~he first call Captain Casteel re-
sponded and in the second all of the
other men from Morgantown are in
Guided 1t is said that the start
with the first ten regiments will be
made about the Goth of January and
the rest will be brought over as soon
as the ships can discharge their car
goes and get back. This will put all
of them in this country not later
than the middle of April.
They will be mustered out at once
and Immediately come home. This
news will be received gladly by the
relatives and friends of the boys who
are interested and it may be taken
as absolutely reliable There have
been many rumors of what is to be
done but this is the first news that
has come from officials who are in a
position to know what they are talk
