The Bellaire and Southwestern road
was organized in 1875, and in 1875 the
capital stock was subscribed to the
amount of $240,000 The surveys made
in 1875 estimated its cost at $4,000
per mile, but on account of the shrink
age IN the cost of labor. iron and sup
plies, in connection with an economical
management, the cost has not exceeded
$4,000 per mile, which, when we take
into account the abrupt and hilly char
acter of the route to WoOdsfeld from
the river, is low rate of expenditure.
''In regard to the stability and perma-
nency of construction" (says Chas. ..
Manning, of Baltimore, an engineer Of
high repute Il think this road can be
favorably compared with the hest of its
broad gauge neighbors." Mr.. Man.
ming was sent out to inspect the road
on behalf of eastern capitalists, and he
spoke in high terms of the character of
the work done, and the economy of the
expenditures.
The successful completion of this
road to Woodsield, through a hilIy
country, shows what can be done by a.
comparatively small number of people
when they once determine to have a
railroad. To begin with, there was
neither the same inducements to un-
dertake the building of the road, nor
the same amount of means at its ter
mini, and along its route, to back it up.
Then, too, it has been built during the
very nadir of the panic depression,
when people were very scarey about all
railroad enterprises.

THE TRiBUNE'S POSITION.

+ OF THE TRIBUNE's share in all this,
those speak most enthusiastically who
have seen most of the struggle. 1t will
faithfully portray the varying phases of
the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party of Free
dom, Union and the Public Faith may
select the man surest TO win, and surest
to make good President. But in this
crisis it can conceive of no nomination
this party could make that would not be
preferable to the best that could possibly
be supported by the Solid South and
Tammany Hall.
THE TRIBUNE is now spending more
labor and money than ever before to
hold the distinction it has long enjoyed
of the Ldrgest circulation among the best
people 1t secured, and means to retain
it, by becoming the medium of the best
thought and the voice of the best con-
science of the time, by keeping abreast
of the highest progress, favoring the
freest discussion, hearing all sides, ap-
pealing always to the best intelligence
and the pureSt morality, and refusing
to cater to the tastes OF the vile or the
prejudiceS of the ignorant.

SPECIAL FEATURES.

The distinctive features of The Tribune
are known to everybody. 1t gives all
the news. 1t has the best correspond
ents, rnG retains them from year to year.
1t is the only paper that maintains a
special telegraphic wire of its own be-
tween its office and Washington. Its
scientific, literary, artistic and religious
intelligence is the fullest. Its book re-
views are the best. Its commercial and
financial views is the most exact. Its
type is the largest; and its arrangement
the most systematic.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE

remains the great favorite of our sub
stantial country population, and has the
largest circulation of any Weekly issued
from the office of a Daily paper in New
York, or, so far as We know, in the Uni
ted States. 1t reviseS and condenSes all
the news of the week into readable
shape Its agricultural department is
more carefully conducted than ever, and
it has always been considered the best.
Its market reports are the official stand
ard for the Dairymen's Association, and
have long been the recognized authority
on cattle, grain and general country pro-
duc.. There are special departments for
the young, and for household interests; /;
tie new handiwOrk department, already
extremely popular, gives unusually ac-
curatc and comprehensive instructions
in kni ting, crocheting, and kindred sub
jects; whiie poetry, fiction and the hu-
mors of the day are all abundantly sup
piled. The verdict of the tens of thou
sands of old readers who have returned
to it during the past year is that they
find it better than ever. Increasing pa
tronage and facilities enable us to re-
duce the rates to the lowest point we
have ever touched, and to offer the most
amazing premium yet given, as follows:
