The proposition to build railroad
from this city to Middlebourne and the
interior of the county seems to have
fallen into 'inocuous desuetude." at
least nothing has been heard of the
matter for several weeks. Evidently
the gentlemen who were here looking
up the matter of the proposed road
with the intention of operating and
building it, are either very slow about
taking hold of the matter or they have
given it the go-by. Anyhow nothing
has been heard about the road for
gute while and it is likely it will be
quite as long in building as has been
predicted by the Register some time
ago. The road is certainly greatly
needed, would be paying investment
and should be built

The Ohio Valley Cutlery and Novelty
Company, composed of Beaver Falls
people, has made a second and more
acceptable proposition to the Sisters
vile Board of Trade, with the result
that the enterprise is practically assur-
ed to the city. The company now
agrees to furnish the Board of Trade
with an indemnifying bond in the sum
of $500, conditioned that If it does
not at once go to work and erect plant
with a capacity to work 200 men for
a term of three years, then the trust
company executing the bond is to re-
fund the $4,000 to the Board of Trade;
but If the company does erect the plant
and employ for three years on an aver
age 200 men day, then the Board re-
leases the bond and the property re-
verts in its entirety to the company.
(By the terms of this agreement the
city takes no risk in the matter, it be-
ing secured whether or not the factory
is successfully operated. The question
of a site is also satisfactorily settled by
the offer of Eph Wells to sell the
Board three acres of land just below
the Widow Glass company's location
for 81 500.

THE CUP IN DANGER.

Not for half century have American
yAchtsmen been so alarm q for the saie-
ty of Americas cup as at present.
Shamrock ii is generally recognized as
a very formidable competitor. She is
the best yacht ever turned out by the
British and Is an advanced step in yacht
building for Great Britain.
The challenger is composite model
of the best yacht Mr.. Watson ever built
until now, and of the Columbia, the
American winner of the Cup last year.
Her midsection and fms are in effect
those of the Columbia. She has pc
culiar clean and beautiful run
Thus Shamrock II. is half Ameri-
can in her design. 1t takes John Bull
a long time to catch on but he usually
learns his lesson pretty thoroughly.
There are many yachtsmen who be-
lieve the Columbia, the defender of the
cup last year. to be a better boat than
the Constitution, and Shamrock IL. is
more like the Columbia than is the
Constitution.
Heretofore international yacht races
have been too one-sided. This year
the great contest will have the de-
lightful element of uncertainty that
gives the proper zest to race.

"soci.I Conditions of Today"

Sir:-Gazing into that broad expsnse
of past years our thoughts begin an at
tempt to fathom the worlds progress
in every sense, and as analysis of the
intricate construction of nations social
advancement becomes gradually more
clear, we perceive the environments
and conditions necessary to foster and
preserve an equilibrium Of tranquility.
Though even sages have lived in the
past and prophets OF far-seeing thought
exist today, it is not needful to peruse
the pages of past years history to note
the indifference of the general mind to
useful admonition.
There is an instance Of this character
istic far deeper in meaning and import
ance in every sense than any compiled
on the pages OF history, exercised to-
day.
We see arrayed in industrial warfare
the two indispensable elements Of ma
tional peace and order-labor and cap
lbdl~OAC uuy ICi0tA6, IuC ObhCi dShoh y,
one aggressive, one defensive.
Silent meditation makes the appear
ance spectral-like If the controversy is
waged long. Hardship for wives who
preserve the true idea Of home. Hun
ger for the helpless children; aye, per-
haps real heartless war, national in its
effect. "To live or die, survive or per-
ish," will be the cry. Scarcely the
memory itself of past happiness will re-
main in the human mind and life be-
comes a misery rather than the true
object of creation.
Is there no limit to human greed OF
gain? The truest happy are not those
who have an over-abundance OF those
material substances, silver and gold.
but those who entertain first the idea OF
self-preservation and then the lifting
up of the down-trodden and caring for
the oppressed.
As time speeds on and the present be-
comes the past, men become more
learned, yet less wise and our thoughts
only marvel and become apprehensive
as to the nature of conditions future
years will bring to pass.
Will the age of sentiment revive or
will the age of practical thought and
business enterprise still live?
Will conditions favor the capitalist
or the laboring man?
Questions Of like nature are always
confronting us and we should not cast
them aside as useless contemplation,
nor rest ourselves in our confidence in
the broad pinions of time, for the flu
ture, but until God shall cause our
brains to think, be alert, equal to the
occasion, always preparing for the ad-
versity we we'll may expect.
The Indifferent spirit, as to future
happiness and peace. prevalent in the
two contending bodies today may it
be softened into the thought of home
preservation and natural prosperity,
and may the youthful United States be
the first nation to lead the matured
countries Of the world in the submits
sion of disputes to an uninterested
board of arbitration, this to mean the
death Of the monster grim-visaged war
and exemplify the true idea of Gods
creation.

BILL CHANDLER, TRUsT-CURBER.

Former Senator Chandler, of New
Hampshire, is engaged in telling his
party what it ought to do. Bill has
nothing else to do himself these days
UP in quiet old Concord but give ad-
vice. In his article in the Independent
on New Work for the Republican
Party" he says that the party must
curb the trusts
That would indeed be new work"
for the Republican party.
Mr.. Chandler refers specifically to the
Steel Trust with its capitalization OF
81 900, 600 900 and says that the cnarier
authorizing such a large corporation
should be repeated by the Legislature.
The old man becomes Internationally
funny when he states that the RepuDli-
can party of the State should elect such
a Legislature Imagine the Republican
leaders in any State permitting such a
thing.
Mr.. Chandler, being out of politics
himself. is frank enough to admit that
the American voter is waking up.
There is no mutually where the con-
sumner can buy of only one producer"
says the ex-senator. and where the
workmen has only one employer
through whom he can early the daily
bread for himself and his family" Vast
aggregations of capital inevitably pro-
duce vast bodies of organized labor.
They cannot avoid clash. Trouble
comes from the adjustment Of compe-
ttion.
wild words are not wise" contin-
ues Mr. Chandler, "but it may be use
fully said that there should be fearful
looking forward to judgment on the
part Of the men who are doing these
things Where is the remedy for
threatening evils? 1t is easy and sure;
the exercise of legislative control over
corporation organizations"
And Senator Chandler who under
stands the inner working of the Repub-
lican party as well as anyone, actually
has the sublime nerve to suggest that
that is the work the Republican leaders
should undertake in the next cam
paign,
The Republican leaders are owned
body, soul, and breeches by the trusts.
which are also the only source whence
the Republican party draws its sinews
of war How on earth, then. is the
Republican party to change front on
the trust question?
1t can't. And it won't. It's leaders
may make promises. but they won't
hurt the trusts, and the trusts know
it. We already have Republican
ANTITRUST law under which the trusts
have thrived and multiplied as never
before.

many tourists make Of not standing up
for ST. Louis as they should. After tell
ing Of the great interest felt In the Fair,
he says In an interview in the Republic:
There are a number of ST. Louisans who
by their own conversation injure ST. Louis
more than anything else. I heard of them
referring to the extreme heat of our city,
the smoke and so on Residents of other
cities do not talk so OF their own homes
and ours should not. IT has been warm
everywhere. The hottest day / ever ex-
perlenced was in Washington. but nobody
said anything about it."
To a Iooker-on 1t would seem that
the press of st. Louis pursues wrong
policy in trying to conceal from the
outside world anything in regard to st.
Louis that is true. II st. Louis Is
victim OF the smoke nuisance and is ex-
cessively hot in summer 1t is not
square deal to mislead its prospective
visitors on these points and the say
nothing-and-saw- wood policy in which
travelling st. Louisans are De1ng
schooled falls little short OF deception.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition Will
be a mighty big thing and we believe
will be a grand success. st. Louis
should present the case for the big
show on its merits and let 1t go at
that. 1t isn't every city that can be its
own summer resort-like Wheeling.
