There was no mention Of the fact,
for instance, that he once issued
a bench warrant against HORACE
GREELEY as the publisher OF an
incendiary newspaper, and that his
court found an indictment against one or
more citizens Of Harrison county for
taking the New York Tribune. What a

Our nGighbors oi Washington and Greent
Counties, in Pa. arc Just now considerably
worked up over projected narrow
gauge railroad from Waynesburg 4
Washington, distance Of 25 miles. The
papers OF the two places have good dea
to say on the subject editorlaly and
through communications. Tho laSI
Waynesburg Republican Ia especially
warm on the project. It contains a COM
munication from a practical railroad man
showing that the road can bO built for
$,OOO-per mile, including the cost Of
bridges. This seems incredible. But
the writer does not claim that he can
put the road in flrst.class order for that
sum per mile, but simply that he can
build 1t so that 1t can be operated with
out injury to the rails or rolling stock.
Twenty'one miles Of the route would be
over dry meadow land on the CHARTERS
aud Ten Mile Valleys, and three miles
would be located on hillsides OF smooth,
even surface, The road bed would be
twenty'Iour miles long, ten feet wide, and
OF the average height Of eighteen inches.
The iron in general use on narrow.gauge
roads is the thirty. pound rail, requiring
iorty'scven and one'seventh tons per mile,
and costs about 800 per Ton. The writer
referred to tabulates.th expense per mile
as follows.

l
TIE steubenville Gazette is a queer sort
Of paper. II comes at us with the re-
mark that inasmuCh as the Republican
party has not restored gold and silver to
circulation therefore there ought to be
more paper money. And while blaming
the Republican party for not having ere
this made paper equal to gold 1t appeals
TO the people TO vote the Democracy into
power because by 80 doing there will be
More hope for the unfortunate insolvCnt,
who has been crushed between the neither
mill stones Of careless speculation and
Republican contraction Of the currency"
This means, iflt means anything, that
the Republican party has been doing just
what the Gazette wants it stopped from
doing, viz bringing gold and silver into
circulation. But, as We showed yester-
day, the attempt 10 identify the Repubh.
can party with such policy is not in &C
CordancC with the facts. Leaving out Of
sight the well known positions Of such
prominent Republicans as Morton, Logan
and Cameron, we cite the Gazette back to
the fact that 1t was under Andrew John.
sons administration that the Currency
was reduced to 35GOOO,OOO Of dollars by
Secretary McCulloch. And at the last
session Of Congress it was such men as
Senator Thurman, Of Ohio, who ia.
vored reducing 1t TO that amount
again. We said weeks ago, at the
opening of this campaign, that all at
tempts to make party capital out of the
currency question was sheer dems-
goguery. Both parties arc tarred with
the same stick "no odds which kettle is
stirred"-whether more or less currency.
The record in the Congressional Globe is
stone wall against which the party organs
and party candidates butt their heads in
vain for party or personal advantage. In
this State BEN WILSON is bowling arouud
on the subject in the face Of the fact that
his Senator voted against "more money to
do the business Of the country with"
while Senator FOREMAN voted for more
money. But everybody knows that it is
no trouble for tho Colonel to howl on any
side oil any question. Heis simply howl.
