Mr.. Arnold Schaer. superintendent OF
the Warren Manufacturing Company s
plant at Warren. is well and favorably
known in this state; not only among
manufacturers, but among politicians.
Mr.. Schaer has pronounced views upon
the issues OF the present political cam
paign. which are distinctly interesting
and valuable, because they are based on
sound judgment and practical experience.
Moreover, he believes that the golden
rule should find some place in the polit-
zeal issues Of our time.
Mr. Schaer has always been prominent
ly identified with the Republican party
and, while he is still Republican In prin-
ciple he opposes his party in the matter
of Imperialism.
To News representative Mr.. Schaer
expressed his ideas regarding this dues-
ton clearly and fully.
II do not believe in Imperialism said
he.
"No: ! do not believe in one nation
dominating over another. / believe In the
principle which Lincoln taught that no
man shall domincer over another or no
nation over another.
II believe. In short. In a government by
the people and for the people"
THE GRAB POLICY.
Mr.. schaer characterized the imperial
1stic policy as the grab policy" and de-
clared himself sound Democrat on that
question. at least.
He believes that Imperialism will In
Volve the United States In endless COM
pNcations with foreign countries and,
moreover, will necessitate the maintain
ance of a large standing army which,
he said, I'VE do not need"
In the matter OF expansion Mr.. Schaer
believes In Expansion only on this con-
finent."
sI believe" said he, ''in anything just
and right that will tend to make this
country strong. but do not believe In
starting at the antipo6es; as, for instance.
the Philippines"
Apropos OF the Philippines, Mr.. Schaer
characterized our relations there as but
: high handed game OF the strong
against the weak" and in this matter,
said .he, I'VE seem to be adopting Eng
lands policy, viz: putting little people
downu'
Turning the conversation to England
and the Boer war, Mr.. Schaer waxed en-
thusiastic over the theme.
A NATION OF PIRATES.
He had lived number of years in Lon
don and could therefore speak intelli-
gently OF conditions there.

RAILROAD CONTRACTS LET.
Chief Engineer Latrobe Gives out Two
for West Virginia.

Two important contracts for the
proposed extension of the West Xir-
ginia Central and Pittsburg Railroad
have been awarded by Chief Engineer
Charles II. Latrobe who is in charge
Of the construction of the new line.
They cover the construction of tun
mel 1000 feet long about four miles
south of Elkins and another tunnel
$50 feet long about 81 miles south OF
the same place.
Bosser, Coleman & Hoge, OF Louis
vile. Ky, were given the contracts.
1t is expected to award contracts for
the remainder of the line in March
and have construction in full blast by
April. The line, which will be 43
miles long, will probably be finished
in November next. 1t Will extend
from Elkins, w Va, to the forks of
the Greenbrier river, where it will
meet line being built by the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad.
Besides its influence upon the de-
yelopment of this section, the line
furnishes the connecting link in a new
route from the Chesapeake and Ohio
to Pittsburg aud the great lakes and
will be the only north and south line
excepting those close to the Atlantic
seaboard, east Of the Ohio river. 1t
will be substantially built in order to
handle through traffic. The maxi
mum grade will be about 100 feet to
the mile, but there is not much of
this. Two streams to be crossed on
bridges are the Valley river, near Ell
kns, and Shaver's Fork, % miles
south of Elkins,

NEW SWITCH BOARD.
c. ID. Il p. People have received
Brand New Board - Improvements
being made in the System.

The c. D. & P. telephone people
have gotten new switch board. 1t
is now in the office OF the Odd Eel
lows building and will be set up
shortly. The new board is to be
a great improvement over the one
that they have at present. 1t con
tains three hundred drops and will
be on the multiple system.
An operator at any part Of the
board can answer a call from any
other part of the board so that there
will be less delay than under the old
system which however has been very
satisfactory. The new board is a
beauty and will add very much to
the efficiency OF the exchange.
There are at present two hun
dred and thirty phones in the ex,
change and new ones are being CON
stantly added Nothing is being
left undone that will add to the val
lie of the seryice and Manager Chas.
Kitchens is constantly on the alert
to look after the needs Of the sub
scribers.
The old board has been outgrown
for sometime and the phones have
been crowded. This will be remedied
when the new board goes in.

JUNK MAN ARRESTED.

Grafton Leader.

The manager of the Fairmont and
Grafton Junk Company in this city
was arraigned before Squire Dawson,
Thursday, charged by the B. & O.
Company with receiving stolen goods
with knowledge. Three small boxes
loaded with brass and directed to a
Pittsburg brass dealer were sent to
the depot for shipment The com
pany having missed many pieces of
valuable brass, suspected that the
pieces might be in those boxes, and,
accordingly, obtained them and had
them opened, and examined. The
boxes contained brass of every de-
scription, beaten up into small
pieces, so that the B. It O. stamp
could not be seen. The pieces were
large enough, however, to enable
Master Mechanic Hayden and other
b. d 0. employees to identity them
as B q o. goods. The three boxes
had brass valued at 500, represent
ing 800 pounds in weight. Much
CoupldIut mas Ueen raised from GlIue
to time about the loss of valuable
pieces of brass and IRON of late and
it has been claimed the small boys
are induced to steal valuable arti-
cles with the hope Of getting few
pennies AS we go to press the Jus
tice has not handed his decision but
whatever it may be, steps should be
taken to protect our citizens from
such wanton depredations, carrying
with it such heavy loss.
