siderable importance to all classes in

The Steubenville Herald says that the
Panhandle (Short Cut) Railroad will be
good thing for Pittsburg and the tray
cling public, but damaging to the inter
ests of Steubenville. We presume that
this is the old brcalz-bulk" and
"chnnge of guage" idea so long main-
tanned Mt Erie, Pa, and other points
where it was thought desirable to bring
travellers to halt for the good of To-
cal few.
We confess to being at loss to see
how any amount of Short Cut railroads
is going to hurt Steubenville. 1t is
something of a manufacturing townlikc
our own, and must depend upon the
development of its manufactures for
success. There is no reliance to be
placed on anything else. Doctors, law
yers, merchants, &C., do not make up n
town, but manufactures do. Because
they bring money from abroad-be-
caus they produce something that
draws trade. Steubenville, with her
manufacturing advantages, cannot but
be benefited by being situated so con-
spicuously on the lines of travel. Let
her extend her paper, cotton and rolling
mills, and she will find that railroads
are no disadvantage to her, even though
the passengers should be whirled right
through the town without stopping for
meals.
