Plain Facts.

The question is often asked, "Why is
1t that such places as Sharon, Donora
and other towns succeed so well in
growth and population ?" The answer
Is not far to seek. 1t is because the
business men OF those towns get togeth-
err and work unitedly and not jealously
for the good of the town. A town can
never be better than its people make it,
II the people are slow, selfish and miser-
ly town will never get out of its rut
until funerals put the reins Of finance In
younger hands, Clearfield Public
Spirit. The above plain facts apply to
more towns than Claarfeld.

Election to be Contested.

We have been informed that there
will be contest on the result Of the
election in Winslow townships for
school directors, as returned by the
election board. There was no specifi-
cation on the ticket as to length Of
term for Republican candidates, but
there was specification as to length
Of term for Democratic candidates, and
that is the grounds taken for the con-
test, The case will be presented to
Judge Reed this week. The School
Laws and Decisions OF Pennsylvania
says: "When all the tickets are with
out specification OF the term, the latter
part OF Xiv provides remedy. In
such case the rule Of the longest term
to the highest in vote applies. But, II
some of the tickets polled have, and
some have not, this specification on
their face, unless there was a common
understanding among the voters In re-
gard to the length OF term intended for
the candidates, respectively, those
which have not are to be rejected, and
the return is only to be given, accord
ing to number OF votes, to those whose
tickets specified the term on their
faces"
In case of contest the law says III
the legality OF any election for directors
be contested in writing by not less than
ten qualified citizens OF the district, the
said court OF quarter sessions is hereby
authorized and required forthwith,
10 examine into the election, and to con-
firm or set aside, as shall seem just and
proper, and, II set aside, to order a new
election at the usual place in the usual

" Knives and Forks Fine Lecture.

Waning to Other BOYS.

Four lads from Big Soldier were ar
raigned before Squire E. Neff at this
place Monday evening on a charge Of
willfully making, or causing to be made,
loud, boisterous and unseemly noise
or disturbance to the annoyance OF the
peaceable residents nearby, contrary to
the law. Carlo Mascara, who has a
barbershop at Big Soldier, was the
plaintiff. The boys were glad to settle
the case for $500, or $3.50 apiece.
These boys will likely behave them
selves In the future and not try to
annoy other people. There are some
boys in Reynoldsville that had better
take warning from the experience Of
the Big Soldier boys.

Secretary Carter, as was naturally
to be expected, has inquired why the
plans for selling the whole issue of
bonds, in the East, as had been agreed
on before he left after full considera-
ton with bankers and other financiers,
should have been changed.
The inquiry is one that every think
ing citizen of the Territory who gives
the subject consideration must make
The ready and fippant reply of course
is that since he left prospective con.
tractors have offered to take pay in
bonds, if given contracts for work to
be paid for out of the loan funds.
While the spirit which prompted these
offers is very commendable, and shows
public spirit of which any community
might be proud to see displayed by its
citizens, it does nNt in the least alter
the financial problem before the exc
cutive officers of the Territory, namely
to sell the entire bond issue at the best
prices obtainable. Unless these pros
pective contractors bid for the bonds
the officials who would sell them, ut
what would practically be private and
competitive sale, would lay them
selves open to severe censure and criti-
cism But these prospective contract
OlS are Only Offering TO take the DOnQS
conditional on their getting contracts
The two transactions are entirely sep
arate, and while they might. if there
was any real reason for it, be combint
ed there is no occasion for it. These
contractors after they got the bonds
would have to sell them, so that the
problem would not be solved but only
shifted into other hands, and at the
same time be made more difficulty. If
the bonds are all sold abroad their
equivalent i'm money is brought into
the Territory to increase the amount of
money in circulation and add to the ac-
tiVity of business. If the bonds, all or
part are sold here, they must either be
resold abroad, or the money that their
purchase price represents he taken out
of other local channels of circulation,
and the volume Of the money in circu-
lation here will not be increased at all.
There is absolutely no reason for
changing the plans agreed on before
Carter left here, and every reason why
there should be no change. Let those
i'm charge abandon the policy of back
ing and filling stand by the plans
arreed on before Carter left, second his
efforts which are the rational ones for
securing the best returns for our
bonds, and so hasten the time when
the loan fund becomes available.

ARBITRATION AGREED UPON
In the Matter of the American Claim Against
the Republic of san Domingo.
OUT OF UNJUST PORT DUTIES
Little Republic Was Informed That the Big one
Would Not sumbit the Matter to the Courts
Of San Domingo.

San Domingo, January 31.--The Dominican govern
men has informed United States Minister Powell that
It can not agree to his request made in the name OF
the American government in the matter Of the claims
Of the Clyde line of steamships and that If its com
pany feels aggrieved at the action OF the govern
1nent it should seek redress before tribunal Of the
Dominican government and not appeal to the United
States
To this Communication Mr.. Powell made a strong
" worded reply in which he informed the Dominican
government that the United States would Insist on
redress for it's citizens and that the pending cases
must be settled by the government and not through
the courts.
Previous dispatches received from San Domingo
say that Powell had demanded the withdrawal OF the
Dominican decree changing the port duties and that
If the government failed to comply with his demand
it should pay the Clyde line the due and recog-
nize certain othsr rights claimed by the company.
On January 2s Powell insisted on a reply from the
Dominican government to his previous demand for
the immediate payment of the s25O0OO claimed to be
due to the Clyde line.
United States Minister Powell and a representative
OF the Dominican government today signed protocol
providIng that the matter Of the disputed claims OF
the San Domingo Improvement company Of New York
he referred to international arbitration, and that the
Dominican government pay the improvement com
pany 81 500 600 for all It's rights and franchises.
The proposal Of arbitration recently was presented

and accepted by It,
