Erie's mysterious ways are again exemplified
by its last financial leap in the dark. We can
very well understand how Mr.. Jay Gould would
have the folly or the daring to violate an IN
junction of the United States Courts, and pre-
pare to pay for bonds stolen from the English
stockholders by fOisting another Illegal series
on the American market. We can comprehend
how, failing 10 agitate the market or brighten
the Court. he would wish TO retrace his steps
or conceal them, by plausible and ingenious
explanations from the pen OF his Assistant
Secretary But we do not know how TO recon
Gle the confusing statement of the latter
which we published yesterday, and the PLAIN
formal notice of the same person to the Presl-
dent of the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany. The Assistant Secretary says the pres
ent notice is simply a renewal OF an OH one
Cancelled before the injunction was issued, by
President Gould, without authority. This ex-
PLANTATION may he satisfactory enough TO the
Erie officers but if Mr.. Gould acts on the
strength of il, and commits the contempt ne
threatens by issuing the bonds, the officers OF
the United States Courts will require other
and more satisfactory explanation. The notice
that the bonds are issued 4" for the purpose OF
borrowing money for the finishing, cOmplet-
ing, and operating the Erie Railway" may
be mere matter of form TO the Erie people,
but it is a huge joke to the public, who under
stand very well that 1t is a provision to pay
back the S3.OOO000 which the Englisbmen de-
mand, and which they are likely soon 20 get
awarded by the Court, though they may never
see heir money again.

The Fire Marshal of Brooklyn intimates that

all persons causing damage to the property of
others, within his jurisdiction, by the careless
use of fireworks, to-day. In the absence of
much-needed statute, vigorously prohibiting
the discharge of fireworks in cities by ire
sponsible persons, his proposed action is highly
commendable and worthy of imitation by the
Fire Marshals of other cities.

Still Onward and Upward.

The extraordinary increase that has
taken place in the sale of Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bltters during the past year Is another
proof that an intelligent people, although
they may try all things, hold fast only 10
that which Is good. No amount of pufiery
can lift inferior articles to the position of
standard specifics. To use the words OF
Tom Payne, they may go up like rocket,
but are sure to come down ANONYMOUSLY
like its extinguished stick. Hundreds of
such nostroms have gone up and come
down since the introduction Of Hostetters
Stomach Btters, nearly the fifth OF cen
fury ago. Yet 1t still remains the supreme
tonic of the age. 1t has not, and never has
had, rival in efficacy or popularity, and
now stands at the head Of all proprietary
remedies manufactured on this side of the
Atlantic. In every civilized community on
this continent, or in South America, II is
the accepted remedy for dyspepsia, bilious
complaints, constipation, general debility,
nervous weakness and many other I'M
pleasant or dangerous maladies. A medi-
cine so widely extended is of course pirated
and initiated by dealers without conscience
or integrity.
Therefore, let every man and woman who
designs to purchase the genuine HoStetter's
Stomach Bitters, see to 1t that they have
infamous imposture. Look carefully at
label, stamp and name blown in the glass,
and do not forget that the true Gtters is sold
in bottles only.

ing corn and gathering the small grain,
he has the ride all the time-ridlng
plows to break with, two and four fur
rows together; riding plows to make
his corn, corn-planters, reapers, mowers
drills, selfrakers and every machinery
that can save the feeble, or lazy as
some term it) body can be used success
fully. While on a visit to our native
home there, some months ago. our
friends could be scarcely convinced OF
these things, and that one man can to
a success attend forty and fifty acres of
corn, averaging fifty or sixty bushels to
the acre. 1t is true that Illinois is no
longer the "far West" Having reached
the age of wealth and prosperity she
ranks near the head Of the list. Her
lands are on rapid increase in value,
as none cultivated can now be pur-
chased for less than $40. and range as
high rs 500 per acre. We have many
beautiful improved homes; in fact the
Sucker" is beginning to realize the
hopes of the great aristocrat.
We might add more to this, but
knowing that patience is virtue that
lew have, we ask pardon for imposing
upon it to such length.

The Clarksburg Telegraph pays the
following frank and handsome compli'
ment to Hon. john j. DAVIS. 1t is
creditable alike to Mr.. DAVIS ability
and to the manlincSs Of the editor Of the
Telegraph.
I'VE regretthat Hon. john j. Davis
saw proper in the recent canvass to use
his influence in favor Of Convention.
Privately and socially he is one of the
best OF men, but politically he is badly
warped. He made three or four speech
es in this county that, We believe, had
the effect Of diminishing the No Con-
vention" majority considerably. We
believe if Mr.. Davis had staid at ho;ue
and not done any talking for the Con
vention, the majority in this county
against it would have been from five to
six hundred. He was the most for
midable antagonist the opponents OF
the Convention had in the State.

From the Weston Democrat.
Hon. Spencer Dayton.

We place at the head Of our columns
to-day, as q candidate for the State
Senate in this District, subject to the
nomination of the Democratic Conven.
ton, the name of the Hon. Spencer
Dayton, of Barbour. We do this in re-
coguition of Mr.. Dayton's valuable ser
vices to the Democracy. Through his
influence many important measures
were carried through the Legislature
last winter, which otherwise could not
have but failed; and throug h his intlu,
ence much good has been done to the
Democratic party in this district,
especially in the county of Barbour
We believe that it is the duty of a
great and successful party to re-
ward those Of its members who have
contributed most to its success; and
we assert that no Democrat in this dis
trict has been more efficient in this
particular than Mr. Dayton. The Dem
ocratic party is under many obligations
to this gentleman; and we hope that IT
will be its pleasure to return him to
to that seat in the Senate of West Nir,
cinia which he has filled Tor the last
TWO winters with so much credit to him
self and his constituents. Mr.. Dayton
is in every respect qualified for the
position, an able lawyer, shrewd de-
batter, governed by broad, comprehen-
sive and liberal views. his nomination
and election will occasion a repetition OF
the compliment SO frequently paid to
this Senatorial District last winter,
when it was said that it was more ably
represented than was any other Senator,
ial District in the State.

Two measures OF much Importance
TO the city were discussed in the Sec
opd Branch Of the Council last night
and preliminary action was agreed
upon: the Martinsville bridge project
and q railroad connection with Lake
Erie. 1t is to be sincerely hoped that
these schemes OF Improvement may
not be permitted to die away into thin
air aud come to nanght as SO
many plans for the advantage
of Wheeling have already persisted.
The enormous cost OF the bridge
necessary to give us railroad connec-
ton with northern or northwestern
Ohio is perhaps the chief obstacle IN
the way OF such road. We believe,
however, that the benefits to be derived
from a direct railroad to the Lakes
would amply repay the cost of construc-
ton, and we trust that the movement
inaugurated by the Council last night
may attain some tangible result.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch says the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad company,
lin the near future" are going to com.
ple.e the old Hempfield road to q juno
zion with the Pittsburgh and Connells
VILE railroad at or near McKeesport
Pa This scheme has been discussed
before, and it is more than likely oil
fulflment. The point Of juncture, how
ever, we consider little too far from
Cumberland to make the proposed
route desirable one with reference to
Baltimore travel and trade. But we
suppose the people Of Wheeling would
not complain, as, in their present rail
roadly-forlorn condition, they would &C,
cept almost any outlet.-Camberland
Nesos. e.. e .. ...
1t don't seem to make very much diff
ference to the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company whether the people OF
Wheeling complain or not. now that
the city has granted to the company all
it asked. Of course it is the interest OF
Wheeling to have the Hempfeld exten,
sion intersect the Connellsville road
as far east of Pittsburgh as possible,
and if McKeesport is to be the point OF
intersection all idea Of through travel
on that road between Baltimore and
Wheeling will have to be abandoned.
Whether there is any probability of the
road taking that route, we do not
know. 1t seems to be talked of III
McKeesport, and we publish an item
elsewhere in this mornings paper in re,
lation to the same scheme. The ways
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company are "iuscrutable and past
finding out" and Wheeling will have
to await developments as patiently as
she can while pushing forward the
Holidays Cove railroad as rapidly as
circumstances will allow.

The Clarksburgh Telegraph advocates
the election Of Major JOHN c. VANCE as
an ant. Convention candidate from Har-
rison county, and Hon. a. WERNiNGER
from the Fourth Senatorial District, to
the Constitutional Convention. VANCE
is a Democrat but opposed to the Con-
vention, and WERNINGER is Radical
and opposed to the Convention. 1t the
opposition of these gentlemen to the
calling Of a Convention constitutes their
only or their chief qualification, they
ought not to be elected. Are these the
best men in Harrison county to aid In
shaping the new Constitution That is
the question.

UNNECESSARY GRIEF.

We are sorry for the editor oil the
Monroe county Register. He dies hard.
He knows that the Convention has
been called but hates to say so, and
still clings to the groundless hope that
the people have endorsed his position.
He seems to delude himself with the
idea that the Democratic party has met
with defeat in the call OF a Constitu.
tional Convention and that it is his duty
as the sole survivor TO weep over Its
tomb. But would it not be we'll for
our friend to suspend, If but Tor few
moments, his frantic Mutations; to let
the requiem cease and the "Och hone =
die away among the hills Of Monroe;
while he endeavors to ascertain whether
the Democratic party OF West Virginia
is not far livelier corpse than any that
was ever ready to be ferried to the Sty-
gian shore.
1t is one of the peculiarities Of Amer
lean politics that we very rarely hear OF
an individual deserving his political
party; the party always departs from
and deserts the individual. 1t seems
that the purity OF political faith can
only be found in the breasts Of those
whose opinions differ from the views
entertained by the great mass OF the
party and the majority Of the people
and that while the thousands are felici.
tating themselves upon the triumph OF
their political principles they are the
victims of a sad delusion known only
to q selfchosen and distinguished few.
Another curious feature connected with
our party politics is that when one OF
these peculiarly steadlast individuals
finds that his party has LETT him and is
going straitway to destruction, he usual
ly seems to persuade all his former po-
litical foes to join with him in an earn
est effort to save his party from ruin.
Now, won't Mr.. BURKE, who appears
to be a man OF fair ability and sense,
ask himself the simple question wheth-
er it is not barely possible that the
Twenty-Five or Thirty Thousand Demo
Gratis who voted for the call OF q Consti-
tutional Convention may not have been
as Jealous for the welfare Of the Demo-
cratic party as he and the Radicals
were who opposed it? We do not
question either his right or that of any
other individual in the State to pursue
just such a course in respect to all pub
lie measures as may seem to him best,
neither do We impugn the purity and
sincerity of his motives, but it seems to
us hardly the fair thing for the defeated
few to read the victorious many out of
the party. as the Union Register now
excommunicates the vast mass of the
successful Democratic party of West
Virginia. Having just succeeded in
calling a Convention for the remodel.
ling of the Constitution, in spite OF an
exceedingly bitter opposition, which
Mr.. BURKE must admit was mainly
(though not alp Radical, the Democ.
racy Of West Virginia feel decidedly
averse to being buried just yet, and can
hardly feel themselves in q condition
for funereal lamentations. ~
