THE REASON WHY,

The railroad corporations are in the po-
sition of being public enemies ofthe work.
ing man, whose labor in any manner de-
pends upon them. This strong assertion
and having made it, ask that in all future
legislation, they are to be treated as a
common enemy to the laborers.
A railway corporation in intendment Of
a law is a common carrier, when it de-
parted, either openly or covertly from be-
ing such, it leaves its proper calling, and
places itself in a position where the rob
berry Of its Stockholders, and the oppres-
sion of its working employees, follow as
an inevitable sequence.
We will take up the Reading Railroad
az an instance; when its stock was fifty
and over, many readers Of the HERALD
NAV remember, we sail "it has become a
ship owner, coal dealer, miner, loaded
itself with manifold risks outside of its
business of common carrier and it must
fail; it is only question of months" 1t
has failed, and will 60 on from bad to
worse, until its bordholders will clear up
the whole, and this great work will be run,
by its English owners, who will reap the
profit of the vast sums Of money expended
by the American people upon the road
and its equipments; the Pennsylvania
Road, will probably break up first, for it
is more innately rotten than the Reading.
Neither OF them will ever pay another
dividend such is our opinion, and the
stock of neither is worth One Dollar a
share, for any purposes Of revenue to the
holder. The first step taken by these cor.
pora,ions is to reduce the wages of their
working men, to such point, that at the
present price of -four, if their employee
has . family, he cannot buy enough bread
TO eat. He may live and drudge as
b, chelor. Why?
The railroads are compelled to deprive
the laborer of bread, to pay the interest
upon millions of acres of coal fields, and
kindred speculations bought up by rings
in the corporations; in the name Of the
corporation, or legal double very fire.
qnently from persons holding official po-
stion or connection with the company.
The Stockholders contributed. as they
thought, to build and equip railroad
hnt it was invested in fraud OF their rights,
in steamboats,, mines, town sites, dc. The
,roti,s of which were all couped by the
-es and their confederates misde-

NEW COLONIES.

The Philadelphia Record thinks that
strikes have had some good results. They
'have compelled the attention of the busy
people of the United States to the condi.
ton of the people who are not busy. They
have also put workingmen in possession
of information in regard to the affairs of
the corporations that employ them that
will mitigate the i!l>wiil and mlsunder-
atanding which have rtsullrd from want of
knowledge. Perhaps the best effect OF all
is the developing tendency to rid the over
burdened cities, manufactures, and mines,
of part of their surplus Labor. Colonies
tion schemes are afoot in several parts of
the country, which promise to be success
fully carried out. In Baltimore, Pittsburg,
Cleveland, and Boston, there are move
ments of this kind in process Of organiza-
ton, the Western and Southern States be-
ing the favorite locations for settlement.
There is no remedy so natural and so Ger
tain for relief Of the over-population of
Cities and States as this migration 10 the
thinly settled regions Of the South and
West. In the States of Mississippi and
louisiana, there is an absolute demand for
the labor that remains idle and dissatisfied
at the North. The crops in the southwest
are large, and likely to suffer for want Of
helpto gather them in. 1t is no little in
ducement to immigrants that they will
find something to do when they arrive in
a strange land. Another advantage pre-
sented by the southwestern States is plenty
of good land at fair prices, in localities
where agricultural products have ready
market AS long as the country has the
invaluable resource of tillable land to fall
back upon it should enjoy immunity from
serious labor troubles. 1t is better to work
on farm than starve in a city. At the
present time the farmers vocation appears
to be the only one not too abuudantly sup
piled with working force.

the lot of Railroad officers, in our day
The drippings from the oil supply to a
division of railroad, is quite as valuable,
to the officer who has it in charge, as the
prize money from the capture Of feet, or
the plunder from the sack of town,
would be to an officer of like rank, in the
army or navy.
When it is notorious that officers Of
Railroads-enrich tEemselvee at others
expense-one is in our minds eye. A
moor clerk, in an Office, on the line, ten
years ago,-he now keeps splendid home
establishment at an expense of say $4,000
per annum, and another, contrary to the
Act of Assembly, at an unknown figure
that his wine bill with an importing house,
averages s., 600 per annum; teams OF blood
ed horses saddle horses for his sons and
daughters; that no private fortune has
come 10 him, is not the conclusion irreslst-
able, that poor laborers wages is docked
to the lowest point, and that his children
grow up starved, stunted, and ignorant,
10 that Master James may ride Ham'l-
tonian mare, and Miss Molly may have
an Orkney pony, and an imported spaniel;
and the official continue stealing. The rail-
roads have been diverted from their orlgl-
nal purpose, and are now managed not for
the general good; but for the sole rroht OF
the officers, and their ring friends. They
have drifted into the position of being ir-
ritants to public order, and enemies to
public properly, and as such should be
dealt with. They are not conducted upon
business principles; but upon a system
which permits every chief OF departme' I
to rob within it; provided he does not in
quire as to what is being done in another.

The New York Public makes a special.
ity OF publishing every Thursday the
bank clcarings Of the principal cities Of
the United States for the week previous,
and contrasting the showing thus presen.
ted With that Of the corresponding week
Of the last year. In this way it affords to
business men q reliable exhibit in regard
TO the status of trade, enabling them to
see at a glance whether the tide is rising
orebbing.
We are sorry that our Wheeling banks
have not ere this arranged for Il weekly
Clearings exhibit, inasmuCh as 1t would
be very interesting feature Of business
life in our midst, and would at all times
enable us to see how any one week Of the
year compared with the corresponding
week Of any past year, and thus be re-
liable record Of our business progress.
The bank cIearings Of eleven Of the
leading cities for the week ending 10Th Of
March shows an aggregate gain over the
same week in 1876 Of so per cent.
We observe, however, that our Pitts.
burgh neighbor fell off heavily,
from S4,20l, 4O5 in '7G down to s., 794,5GS
in ~. On the other hand, Baltimore
advanced from slO,S5S,sO2 in &c to slO,.
SSO,SSs in ~. The gain in New York
city is more decided than at any other
pointin the country, the increase amount
ing to 1913 per cent
When we take into account the fact
that prices are lower than they were year
ago, we can see that the volume OF bust.
ness must be larger than is represented
by the increased clearings of the banks.

According to previous announcement,
another large and enthusiastic temper.
ance meeting was held in the Methodist
Church at this place on last Wednesday
evening. Notwithstanding the Indictment
weather, the house was filled almost to
its capacity. The meeting was opened in
the usual manner, by reading chapter
in the Bible and singing. ES-Mayor
Robert Love, Of Steubenvillc, being pres.
ent, was introduced TO the audience. lie
occupied the space Of half an hour in
talking temperance and relating instances
that have come under his own observa.
ton where men would finally become
habitual drunkards by taking an oCca.
sional glass Of whisky, until ii had ias.
tened Ia letters on them so tightly that
il became almost impossible to shake
them Of.
He also came down very heavily upon
the church members, in regard to neglect.
ing their duty when seeing q man under
the influence Of liquor, laying helpless
perhaps in the gutter. Instead Of going
to him, us they should do, and assisting
him to his feet, they would try to shun
him by crossing the street, or going an
other direction in order that they might
not be observed by the poor unfortunate
wretch. The speaker also stated that he
had spent portion Of his own life in an
Incorporate manner, and that he had
been led TO see his folly, had signed the
pledge and resolved by the help Of God
TO lead better life. His remarks were
listened to very attentively and no doubt
left lasting impression upon the minds
Of every one present. He then extended
mn invitationto any that would follow
his example 10 come forward and sign
the Murphy pledge, and the result was
over fourty signers were secured that
night. The exercises were concluded by
Rev, Robinson pronouncing the benediC.
ton, and another meeting was announced
for the following evening.
The meeting last evening was not so
largely attended, and they we're not 20
successful in obtaining signers as the
evening previous.
Rev. Wallace, OF Bellaire, was present
and addressed the meeting. Stirring nd.
dresses were also made by Messrs. Pelley,
Bartring, Kelley and Patterson. A mum.
Der Of other gentlemen were called upon
for speeches but they all declined.
There will be another temperance
meeting here in the church on next We'd.
nesday evening. An effort will be made
to secure number Of good speakers for
that evening. II.

Rob IngersoIrs Speech in New
York,

Bob Ingersoll.s Speech in New
York.
lGaphic Of Thurslay,l
Colonel Robert IngersoIl, in his re.
markable speech last night, said that il
the election Of President had been thrown
into the House, Mr.. Hayes would have
been elected by Southern Democratic
votes. And he goes on to substantiate
this startling statement by reference to
the conduct of the Southern Democrats
in Congress during the long crisis of the
winter. With one word these men would
have plunged the country into civil war.
But these men wanted peace and were de.
teImined 10 have President who could
be inaugurated peaceably. This point we
have repeatedly presented. The South.
ern Democrats deserve the highest credit
and consideration for their course. But
Mr.. Ingersoll does not tell the
whole truth on the subject. The South.
ern members respected MIR. Tilden.
They knew he would relieve them from
the whole batch Of carpet-bag govern
ments. But, on the other hand, they
knew that with his old Democratic no.
tons he would do nothing in particular
TO develop the resources and restore the
prosperity Of the South. He does not
believe in that kind Of government. The
South wants something more than to be
merely let alone. 1t is impoverished.
Its cities have begun to decay, agricul-
tune has declined, and commerce has
ceased. II wants public improvements.
It wants rivers made navigable, its har.
bors improved, means Of cheap transport
tation 10 the seaboard, railways, immi.
grants. And it was becaupe the Southern
members were satisfied that Mr.. Hayes
and Republican administration would
favor these great works Of internal i'm.
proyement that they favored his election,
from the moment they were satisfied his
policy in other respects would be concili.
atory and just.
