A coop newspaper is the grandest
temporal blessing given the people of
this country. In the first place, all the
people read the newspapers, and the
newspapers furnish the greater pro-
portion of the reading to the people.
Great libraries make a few intelligent
men and women, but newspapers lift
the nation into the sunlight.
THERE are some things that must be
done in a hurry, or not at all. But as
a rule, it is safe to say, the man or
woman who works deliberately accom-
plishes the most. The deliberate worker
is the thoughtful worker, with whom
the habit of system has become second
nature. Any one may cultivate it who
will take the trouble to try; and the
most unsystematic, spasmodic worker
will realize with amazement how easy
it is to get through with an allotted
task in half the time it formerly re-
quired, by planning it all out before
entering the office, workshop or kitchen.
Stor neglecting to return borrowed
books. Stop indulging in more than
100 pounds of self-content to the
square inch. Stop supposing that the.
world could not get on well without
you. Stop looking at the dark side of
life. Stop furnishing your friends with
the minute particulars of your bodily
ailments. Stop taking pessimistic
views of men, things and the theory of
the universe. Stop working too hard.
Stop working not hard enough. Stop
writing to famous people for their au-
tographs. Stop procrastinating. Stop
sending to newspapers “Something
I’ve just dashed off and haven’t stop-
ped to correct.”
Deap men are only fit to inhabit
cemeteries. If they are decently dead»
dead all over, we tenderly lay them
away in the sleep of the tomb; but if
they are dead to all the enterprises out
of the narrow plane of their own in-
terests, and yet persist in walking
around, moving their dry bones, cal-
loused hearts and consciences where
real business is want to throb and pulse
with vigor, they are only like the drone
bees, in the way until they are stung to
death and dragged outside the hive of
legitimate industry. Twenty real live
men are worth more to the public gen-
erally than a round full thousand of
useless material that lies around like
rubbish in a rising stream that is ach-
ing and foaming to turn mills and fac-
tories. Yes, live men bless, and dead
men curse a town.’
THE best way to build up a city is
for each and every man in it not to
strive to-rend and tear down. When-
ever a man in the town is doing well,
do not try to tear him down. All the
residents of a town are partners, not
opponents. In all likelihood the more
business done by your rival the more
you will do. Every gentleman who
treats his customer honestly, courte-
ously and fairly, will get his share, and
by united effort, the better it willphe
for all. When a town ceases to frow
it commences to die, and the mogge the
people try to kill off each other ifn their
business and good name, tie more
rapidly will utter ruin cone to all,
Stand together for the ad fancement of
every citizen. If ad ., shows abilit
to prospes, do nok 1] him back with
jealousy or gh him down with cold
ArPEAL To REASON, a Socialist paper
published at Girard, Kansas, should be
called the appeal to hate, crime, prej-
udice and everything that is hateful
and vicious in men. It apologizes for
the thugs and murderers who have
recently been so active in and about
Pittsburg and other places, designating
them as strong, able-bodied young men
with good red blood in their veins—
young men who believe in justice, who
will not slave under a boss for a mere
pittance, or who have been denied the
opportunity, by the capitalist system,
to earn an honest living, etc., ete. The
same paper also becomes frantic Sover
the prospects that Moyer, Haywood
and Pettibone, three officers of the
Western Federation of Miners, have of
hanging for a murder they are suppos-
ed to have committed. The Appeal
declares that if the three men men-
tioned are permitted by the American
‘| working class to be hanged, that the
working class will in that event be
proven a horde of curs. The fact is
that neither the working class nor any
ether class in particular will: compose
the court and jury that will try Moyer,
Haywood and Pettibone. But they
will be given a fair trial, and if their
guilt is established,” as we believe it
will be, they will be, or at least ought
to be hanged higher than Haman.
Furthermore, we believe that if the
editor and publisher of Appeal to Rea-
son could be hanged at the same time,
that the country would be greatly ben-
efited thereby, for that paper is a moral
stench, a breeder and defender of crime
and criminals, an impostor growing
rich at the expense of the poor and the
ignorant, and a debaser of their chile
dren and their children’s children.
The criminals and murderers it apolo-
gizes for do not want to earn an honec*
living, and they wouldn’t accept honest
labor at wages twice as high as they
could earn. We would have far greater
respect for our country than we now
have if such papers as Appeal to Rea-
son would be denied admittance to the
mails, and its editors and publishers
kept safely behind prison bars, where
they could do no harm. - We firmly be-
lieve that the average boy of ten years
old who will diligently read Appeal to
Reason until he is fifteen years of age,
will be ruined for life and be anything
but a useful and- honored member of
society. The father who places such
vile and debasing literature in the
bands of his children is sowing a crop of
dragons’ teeth that will rend the souls
of his offspring and blight lives that
otherwise might be illustrious and a
blessing to all mankind.

WISE COUNSEL FROM THE SOUTH.
“I want to give some valuable advice
to those who suffer with lame back and
kidney trouble,” says J. R. Blanken-
ship, of Beck, Tenn. “I have proved to
an absolute certainty that Electric
Bitters will positively cure this distress-
ing condition. The first bottle gave me
great relief,and after taking a few more
bottles, I was completely cured; so
completely that it becomes a pleasure
to recommend this great remedy.”

GOLD, GOLD, GOLD.
A Rieh Find Reported on Land
Owned by N. George Keim and
Others.
Believing they have found gold in
paying quantities, N. G. Keim, Shan-
non Hardman and others have begun
the development of a mine on their
farm on Cheat Mountain, purchased
about a month ago from Dr. G. B. Har-
vey. According to those interested, an
assay showed quartz gold in a ratio of
$280 to a ton. Several assays, they
claim, have yielded the same result.
So confident are they that they have
struck the real thing, that men have
been employed to blast. Mr. N. G.
Keim, who is one of those chiefly in-
terested in developing the property in
question, expects to leave soon for the

THE RIGHT NAME.
Mr. August Sherpe, the popular over-
seerer of the poor, at Fort Madison, Ia.,
says: “Dr. King’s New Life Pills are
rightly named ; they act more agreea-

better than any other laxative.” Guar-

THE TROLLEY FIGHT.
The P. & M., a Real Trolley Com-
pany, Makes Answer to the Al-
legations of the M. & S., a
Mythical Company.
The Somerset Standard gives out the
following correct information concern-
ing the legal squabbles now on between
the Penna. & Maryland Street Railway
Company and its mythical rival, the
defunct Meyersdale & Salisbury Street
Railway Company :
Through its attorneys—Messrs. Ber-
key & Shaver, E. E. Kiernan & E. O.
Kooser—the Pennsylvania & Maryland
Street Railway Company filed an an-
swer to the Bill in Equity upon which
the Meyersdale & Salisbury Street
Railway Company secured an injunc-
tion several weeks ago, restraining the
former company from working on the
reilway in course of construction by it
between the towns of Salisbury and
Meyersdale. With this the legal ma-
chinery will rest until after the Febru-
ary term of court, on account of a pres-
sure of business now before Judge
Kooser. That is, a day to be fixed for
a final hearing and argument probably
will not be before March, which will be
in ample time for either or both com-
panies to proceed with the work now
contemplated.
The defendant corporation—the
Pennsylvania & Maryland Street Rail-
way Company—has made a lengthy de-
nial to all the material facts alleged by
the other corporation, and the same
was sworn to by Harvey H. Maust,
General Manager for the company.
It is denied that the plaintiff is a cor-
poration duly organized under the laws
of this state, and that it has authority
to construct and operate its railway
over any street in Meyersdale borough.
Defendant avers that any rights plain-
tiff may have had in that connection
have lapsed. It is denied that plaintiff
expended $40,000 in the partial com-
pletion of the road, and avers that the
expenditures were comparatively small.
It is denied that the plantiff ever had
the consent of the proper authorities of
Elk Lick and Summit townships to
construct a road therein, over the six
miles surveyed.
It is admitted that options for rights-
of-way were once given the plaintiff by
8. P. Maust, John M. WrightgH. H.
and F. A. Maust, but alleges that the
options have expired. 'The $1,000 al-
leged to have been paid to Wright by
plaintiff were two trust certificates for
$500 each, a receipt for which he signed,
with a parol understanding that im-
mediate work would be commenced by
the M. & S. Street Railway Company.
Such work was not commenced and
the franck ise lapsed. It is denied that
H. H.and F. A. Maust received $600
for a right-of-way over their lands and
that F. A. Maust had been in the em-
ploy of the plaintiff company to keep
in proper legal condition its right-of-
way between the boroughs of Meyers-
dale and Salisbury. They received a
trust certificate like the two given
Wright.
Defendant avers that the contract
between the plaintiff and William
Engle, for right-of-way, was made upon
the condition that a complete right-of-
way should be secured by the plaintiff
company and that the road should be
built within a certain time. The de-
fendant alleges that it has completed
the grade for its road, which is not
identical with the survey made by the
plaintiff company.
The defendant challenges the regu-~
larity of the proceeding by which Hsr-
vey M. Berkley and others re-orguniz-
ed the M. & S. Street Railway Com-
pany, and demands proof. ,
The defendant company has done
considerable work Sous the proposed
road, and -has ¢ tracted obligations
in the nighbogytid of $100,000, which
includes the btiilding of several bridges.
The Smad avers that the franchises
secured by it from the authorities of
Meyersdale &nd Salisbury were upon
‘time limits, which expire during the
month of next June, and it has given a
bond to Meyersdale in the sum of $500
to insure the completion of the road in
that time.
The road proposed to be built by the
defendant company is surveyed from
the limits of East Main street, Somer-
set, to Salisbury, through Berlin, Gar-
rett and Meyersdale. The M.& S.road
would connect Meyersdale and Salis-
bury and traverse certain streets in the
two boroughs.
The whole proceeding is of consider-
able importance to the people in the
south of the county.
