The WelIsburg Meeting Yester-
daY.

Capt. John Mcclure was just in time, as
an auctionecr would say, with his rail-
road pronunciamento yesterday II was
iu,, the document, ready made, for the
Wellsburg meeting that assembled at 3 P.
NJ, called to protest against the failure oil
the County Court to take action looking
n the desired transfer Of the County's
,tock TO the new organization.
We presume that yesterdays meeting
will have It's proper effect on the Court
when it re.assembles this morning, and
there Is hardly doubt, we should think,
but that the transfer will be made either
to-day or at an early day. What else is
there to do? This is the question that
the honorable Brooke county court must
seriously quito itself this morning. As
the resolutions very truly say, there is
nobody else waiting, expecting or de.
serving 10 make the same or any other
offer TO the two counties. Nobody else
appears to want the road at this time.
Tom Scott is up to his eyes in embarrass.
ments, as are some Of his associates who
before the panic were wont to pay some
attention 10 the P. W. & Ky: road. The
capitalists who are now proposing to take
hold Of it are not non.residents, but fel.
low citizens. They are putting in their
own money and asking their friends and
neirhbors to do the same with theirs. As
Capt. McLure says, everybody has u
chance 10 come in on the ground floor.
Those who think the investment too
good, coming as free gilt from the Goun-
ties, can take as much Of it as they want,
and those who are more moderate in
their views can take n share or two.
Everyone can partake according to his
appetite.
The Brooke county triumvirate should
rene mber that the road as it stands is a
bad case Of elephant, and as time wears
on, and the rains descend, and the floods
wash out the road bed, it may become
more clephantine still in its character
There is chance to do something with
it now. There may or may not be the
same chance in the future. One Of the
mixims of the seven wise men was tc
know your opportunity, and the othel
was to improve it.

Miss SHERRARD, the principal OF the
Washington Seminary, is sensible sort
of a person, and a worthy successor Of old
Mother Hanna. The Seniors Of the col
lege sent word to her the other day asking
permission, as class, to escort the Senior
Seminarians, as class, to an entertain
ment given in behalf Of the College one
evening last week. As soon as the Juniors
Of the College learned what was going On'
they too, as class, sent word to Miss
Sherrard, begging leave to escort the Ju-
niOr seminarians to the same entertain
ment. Miss Sherrard, however, was afraid
that the young men would prove too sweet
ior her young ladies, and SO after grnvely
deliberating over the numerousproposalS
made to her concluded to decline them
with thanks.

AN INTERESTING LETTERING print
in another column an interesting letter
from the venerable Matthew McKecver,
a leading wool and sheep man Of this re.
gion many years ago. Probably no man
in his day was better known 10 the wool
growers OF the surrounding counties than
the writer OF this letter. Those OF them
who are yet alive, will no doubt read his
letter with much Interest," ,as indeed will all
persons in town or country who take any
interest whatever in wool matters. It
will be seen that he ventures a noteworthy
prediction in regard to the class OF wool
that will be in demand in few years.
Taking this prediction in connection with
the demand this year for the coarser
grades OF wool, il is calculated to eh-
list attention. The demand for these
grades, however, has been supposed to
proceed more from the economical ten.
denotes of the people than from the
reason which, nccOrlingto Mr.. McKeever,
will operate in the future. He predicts
that the so-called common wool, now so
largely ignored by growers will be in de-
mand by the best class Of consumers, at
high price, and that the so-called fine
wools will be neglected by that class oi
consumers. This is certainly an impOr'
tant statement. Whether, however, it
will stand the test OF time remains TO be
seen,

The Suffrage Question.

DENVER, February 15.-The Constitu:
tional Convention, after two days OF
earnest discussion, adopted a chapter on
the elective franchise which requires the
first State Legislature 10 provide by
enactment for the submission OF the
woman's suffrage question TO a vote OF
the people. This is regarded as favora'
bic by the advocates Of the measure, who
claim powerful constituency in Colora-
do. Whilst the experiment in Wyoming,
on the north, has justified the privilege,
in Kansas woman's suffrage exists to all
schnnl nfficeS.
