County Court

County Court will convene for business
at the new court house on Tuesday next.
Although there are yet several things to
be done before the buildings are accepted
by the committee tits expected that bust.
ness will take place as above. This
opening day will no doubt cause many to
visit court at that time and the building
committee will give all a cordial welcome
The buildings are county property and
as the people of the county have them to
pay Tor, it is therefore quite proper that
they inspect the same and see how
their money has been expended.
The indications are that the term will
be short one Somehow people these
days prefer to settle their differences out
of court or by arbitration, which indi-
Gates that the people are much wiser in
these days than in We olden times.

Death of Mrs. Laura +. GIeed

This community was greatly shocked
last Sunday to learn of the death ofMrs
Laura J. Gleed, which occurred at 2:4i
O'Clock Sunday afternoon at her home On
Park street. Mrs. Gleed had been poorl,
since last fall, but was able to be about
the village frequently, in fact she was out
last Friday, appearing in her usual health
but at O'Clock that evening she sus
tained shock, which was followed by
pneumonia, causing her death.
Laura j.. daughter of William and
Mehitabel Kenney, was born in Bethle,
hem, N H., Dec. 4, 1888. She was united
in marriage June 10, 1868, to Henry w.
Fleetwood of St. Johnsbury, who died
May Is, 1875. On May IA, 1885, she
was united in marriage to Phillip k.
Gleed OF this place, who died June 20,
1897.
Mrs. Gleed was loving, affectionate
and sympathetic woman ofgreat social
ability. She was the organizer and first
president of the local Womans Club, was
always deeply interested in the welfare
and Improvement of Morrisvile and did
all in her power to forward any move
tnent for the good of the place. She was a
constant attendant and firm supporter
of the Congregational church, being es-
peciallv interested in mission work. She
was also the promolgator of the Public
Library, securing the first $1,000 fund
for that purpose from Mrs. Cushman, a
daughter of the late Judge Poland, and
which fund is known as the Poland fund.
To her we also owe the starting of the
Carnegie Library, in which she was ex-
ceedingly interested, and perhaps to her
more than to any one else is due the
achievement of the same. In all these pub
lie enterprises, in which she was so ear.
nestly devoted, her death creates great
void and she will be sincerely mourned by
the entire community.
The deceased is survived by a son,
Hon Frederick G. Fleetwood, and by
four sisters, Mrs. Susie Hull and Mrs.
Shrepta Joslyn of Concord, Mrs. Char
Iotte Dow of Dubois, ILL.,, and Mrs. Ma
hala Richardson of Boston.
The funeral was held this afternoon at
2 o'clock from the house, Rev w. E. Bak-
er, pastor of the Congregational church,
officiating, assisted by Rev. c. c. St. Clare
.ot Port Henry, N. Y, former pastor
Of the same church. lnterment was made
in Pleasant View Cemetery.
The floral tribute was very large and
beautiful, consisting of pillows, wreaths,
sprays, etc, all silent witnesses to thees-
teen in which the deceased was held.

A TOWN MEETING.

THE meetings of the Civic Association for the
i consideration Of the proposed new charter
for the city have taken the form of the old town
meeting and this is a most encouraging sign for
those who have at heart the public welfare.
Much interest has been shown in the work of the
charter commission but it is a pity that the as
sociation, despite its extraordinary efforts TO do
SO, could not have had, before the charter was
made meetings so large as the one held on Monday
evening at Turn Hall.
II was really an inspiring sight to sec SO many
citizens expressing their views, and if such gath
erings could be held now and then they would
mean much for the city.
The meetings have disclosed the existence of
large number of good speakers in this city. The
speakers are not by any means confined TO the
professional classes; they came from the ranks
of all classes of citizens. To be sure the oppor-
tunity to get in words about their own theories
OF general government was not lost sight of by
some of the Socialists although Socialism has Moth
ing to do with the new city charter.
Beneath all the questions directly concerning
the charter the meetings have disclosed that vast
amount of thinking is going on among the people.
Perhaps some of those who have attended the
meetings have been surprised by this fact. but no
surprise has been caused to those who keep in
touch with the current thought among the people.
There is considerable unrest; there will be more
OF 1T. Olu ISSUES WHICH nave Kept poihNdi pdibSo
together are fading away. New issues are confront
ing the people The day is at hand for wise and
intelligent thought. Everywhere there is a feeling
that the fight is really a contest of the people
against privilege and the interests. That is the
underlying issue which now confronts the Amer
lean people and it is an issue which, from its very
nature, will permit of no set back. There cannot
be turning back of the clock. 1t is a movement
that cannot be suppressed, but it will present is
sues that must be considered in the broad light
of day in fairness and in candor so that the best
results shall be attainted.

CANADIAN UNREST.

n Ii Canadians are by no means pleased with
y the outcome of the election some months
ago which resulted in the defeat of the reciprocity
treaty. A member of the Manitoba legislature has
declared in favor of a resolution Withdrawing
western Canada from the Dominion. He says that
the reciprocity treaty was defeated by the votes
of the eastern provinces Of the dominion, which
the Manitoba legislator declares they neither
derstood nor could profit from. Because of the
votes of the eastern provinces the people of west
ern Canada, according to this legislator are forced
into commercial relations which are not only
satisfactory but impose upon them submission to
part of the Dominion that does not appreciate
the needs of the western provinces nor care for
their development
The address of the Manitoba member will set
the government at Ottawa to thinking, for he un-
doubtedly expresses the sentiment of a majority
of the residents Of the western provinces.
According to his utterance reciprocity is not a
dead issue merely because the eastern provinces
voted against it, but there is every kind of reason
to believe that before many years the easterners
will be appealing to those of the west not to dis
rupt the dominion.

SOCIALIST PROPAGANDA.

II HE Turn Hall meetings have brought all those
4 who have attended them face TO face with
the fact that very active Socialist propaganda is
being conducted in Wilmington. Many persons
have thought little of it, They don't understand
it, but they will have to think more about it in the
future than they have done in the past
The underlying principles of the Socialist move
ment involve the complete overthrow of the pres
ent status of society-the destruction of private
capital as such and the taking over of all indus
try by the state, not merely the ownership and con-
troll of public service utilities as some imagine,
but a complete control of all branches of industry
the so-called cooperative commonwealth to sue
oeed the present industrial system of private own
ershp.
Socialism is something new in America in that
il divides the people into classes The Socialists de-
clare that it is a class str"~~le.
When it is recalled that hundreds of speakers
drawn from the ranks c. the working
classes themselves are daily spreading Socalistic
views, it may be easily forshadowed what their
campaign will lead to. Heretofore the masses
have listened to speakers of the professional class
but Socialism has drawn TO the public forum men
from the ranks Of those who have been listeners
That is one of the most significant things about
the Socialist movement

TRACK INSPECTIONS
Become POPULAR

The promotion Of efficiency in track
work by awarding prizes for the best
maintained track or for the greatest
improvement made at a given period is
receiving more attention from the rail-
road companies all over the country
from year to year. as the operating
men realize the necessity for encour-
aging proper interest in maintenance
work.
The Pennsylvania railroad company
is the pioneer in this field; its fortieth
annual inspection will be made this
ball. Among the other roads the Penn
sylvania lines west, the Unicn Pa
cifc, the Erie and the Rock Island
have adopted similar plans.
The Pennsylvania railroad offers
more and larger prizes than any of
the other roads. The prizes are
awarded on the basis of periodical
inspections made by a special commit
tee, which goes over the lines every
month or six weeks in a special car
attached to one OF the high class pas
senger trains A glass of water is set
on the window sill of the coach and
each splash" of water counts against
the supervisor over which the train is
travelling. This includes the main
line between New York and Pittsburg,
and Philadelphia and Washington, ID.
c. Besides the various general sup
crintendents go over the line not COW
cred by the general manager and his
party and award prizes for that sec
tion of track.
The Pennsylvania lines west have
adopted a similar plan, although the
prizes are not SO large The Erie
awards first prize of 5000 and a sec
ond prize of 500 for the best and sec
ond best maintained sections Of track
on the two grand divisions of the road
The foreman having the best section
of track on each OF the supervisors
divisions is also awarded prize. The
Union Pacific has maintained for tho
awarding a medal to the roadmaster
Other roads have adopted this pre-
MUM plan, although the above mem
toned ones are the most important
The Bessemer and Lake Erie has
adopted the plan of taking the section
foreman over the road on the annual
track inspection so they can see for
themselves how other roads maintain
their track. Last year the trip was
made over the Pennsylvania lines as
far east as Harrisburg
All Of these plans are Of direct value
| to the track and the results are re-
fiected in more intelligent and greater
work

TROUBLES IN ENGLAND.

n NE industry trouble follows swiftly another
~ in England The paralysis of business which
threatens that nation is complicated by the riotous
demonstration of the suffragsts
food famine is threatened because of the
strike of the coal miners. The effect upon busi-
ness is already distressing as was the great
strike of the anthracite coal miners Of Pennsyl-
vania in l90203. The situation has become so
grave that some members of parliament are ad-
vocating the naturalization of mines and the
means Of transportation is government own
crShp
That will probably come although it is by no
means certain that such ownership would greatly
improve matters, for the miners could conflict with
the government as well as with private ownership.
There must be, however some means devised to
prevent the frequent disputes which are so harass-
ing to the general public.
