LIFE AND WEAR OF RAILs.-It is i'm
possible to estimate the life Of rails. Out
Of 10000 tons recently laid in Boston
and Albany railway, 5000 tons had tc
be removed in about one year. Under
favorable conditions, good iron will last
eight years under the average traffic of
tirst-class road, hut with the material
commonly employed, from three to six
years, and sometimes less is oil that can
be counted upon. Fast-moving trains
wear out rails much more rapidly than
those running slow--the difference is es-
timated as two to one. The wear is
greatest where the bulk of the traffic
falls upon the down-grades. In one
instance, q mixed traffic of so, 800 trains
very nearly wore ont the best rails on q
4Oft. descending grade in IN years,
while the same description of rails upon
level grade, withstood the passage OF
203, 1872 trains. For equal amount Of
traffic, the wear Of rails is assumed to be
as the square Of the speed.
The iron first used upon English roads
stood from Is to 20 years, even under
an enormous traffic; no such rails are now
made, unless of steel. In 1910, it was
estimated, upon the London and North
western Railway, the passage Of 3l3. 900
trains would wear out 70-pound rail.
With ths material now put into rails, no
such service is obtained. Mr.. Price
Williams states that the best quality OF
rails, as now made, will not stand the
passage of over 100, 600 trains. The
difficulty does not seem to be SO much
in the impossibility Of making good
and servicsable iron rails, as in the fact
that few are made. In this respect the
same facts hold good as has been fre.
uuently referred to in the manufacture,
during late years, Of nearly all classes Of
| iron work.
With regard to the life of steel rails
everything here again depends upon the
quality Of the metal. A pair OF Gift.
Bessemer steel rails, upon the London
and Northwestern Railway, outlastsd
sixteen faces Of iron rails, being evenly
worn to depth Of little over a quarter
of an inch; having in about three years
sustained the traffic of upward OF 500, 900
trains. This particular pair Of rails was
finally destroyed by locomotive running
off the track, the wheels striking the
rails transversely and badly bending and
breaking thsm. 1t was estimated that
they would have endured at least one
half as much more traffic but for the &C.
cident
So, too, upon the Philadelphia, Will
migton and Baltimore Railway, a good
steal rail has eutlasted sixteen iron rails
the use OF both being tho same, and on
many other roads OF large traffic the same
successful results have been achieved.
Railway managers have got to exercise
moro care and discrimi nation in the
quality Of the rails they purchase, wheth.
er made Of iron or steel. In fact, there
lsa good amount OF pretty miserable
stuff sold for steel rails, as many of oul
managers know to their cost Railroad

If a deed of unmistakable inquitt is to

There is no use now for violent Ku-klux

and whit" have learned to occupy in peace
the land in which providence has placed
them together; and they are even prepar-

passed after earnest and conscientious op-
position on the distinct agl cement that it

Would not Declare Martial Law.

The President and his constitutional adj
visers came to the conclusion last week, in
solemn council, not to declare martial law in
Louisiana where the rival factions, by their
contentious, are jeopardizing the peace of So
clety in New Orleans. Had these demon.
STATIONS occurred in any of the States under
Conservative rule, it is extremely doubtful
whether such a nice sense of propriety would
have prevailed in council, aud nothing would
have deferred Thorn from declaring martial,
law ut once, without considering the conse,
quences or the cause of existing troubles -
But IN the New Orleans troubles the case ;s
different, there the troubles originated in a
quarrel between rival Radical factions. and to
decl're martial law at the request of either
the one or the other, would jeopardize the
success of The Radical party in Louisiana at
the coming election. To suppose that the
administration is becoming less tyrauical Or
stringent in its course toward the South mar.
tlcularly in States where party success is not
jeopardized, is an error. The President did
not hesitate to declare martial law in Soutb
Carolina against the supposed Ku>Klux orr
gan'zation at the request of irresponsible
parties, although the Governor repeatedly as
serted his ability to preserve order without
aid for the Federal troops.

CONVENTION AND LEaIsLATURg;i

The heretofore isolated and far distant
City, Charleston, now the Capital of West
Virginia, is represented to have been in quite
a cadron of excitement during the last week,
incident to the assembling of these bodies on.
Tuesday last. The Senate was organized by
the election of Hon. Carlos A. Sperry, of
Greenbrier, President. In the House of Dele
gates. Hon. A. E. Summers. Kanawha, was
chosen Speaker j. Bernard Peyton, of
Greenbrier, Clerk. The Constitutional Con-
vention met in the Methodist Episcopal
Church. Hon. CD. Faulkner, ofsBerkeley,
was chosen Temporary Chairman. An cleo.
ton was then held for permanent officers
which resulted iu the choice of Hon. Samuel
Price, of Greeubrier, President; Gibson L.
Butcher. of Lewis County, Clerk aud B. II.
Jones, of Greenbrier, Assistant Clerk. The
Governors Message was sent in upon the or
ganization of the two Houses and is a hiuhly
satisfactory resume of the general interests of
the State, financially and otherwise. To the
exclusion OF our usual variety %(never having
heretofore published the Message of a Cow
ernor of West Virginia) we present all the
material matters suggested by owe JACOB,
and invoke a careful consideration. We had
expected to receive a letter or two from friends
at that pointin regard to the prospective work
OF the Convention and the probable action of
the Legislature upon some questions deeply
affecting the interests of our people. But we
have up to the hour of going to press been
disappointed, yet shall hope for better luck
in the future.
