ON TO PARKERsBURGl

The Parkersburg Journal cries "All
aboard for Wheeling and Charleston.
They are looking for the engine from
both up and down the river. We hope
they will hear the one from this end Of
the line first. We are satisfied the fever
is working up all along the river. II is
a good time for railroad enterprises.
Money is seeking investment in such
stock. Four per cent interest is not the
most attractive dividend to the capital
ist. lie would, as a rule, run the risk
of getting more, even il he got less.
The Bellaire and Southwestern adj
vertised $50, 900 worth OF bonds Tor sale
the other day, and double that amount
were taken on short notice, and more,
probably, could have been sold If lie
sired. The bonds Of road between
Wheeling and Parkersburg will be
equally As good in the market. Let II
be at once started by the people who are
most interested in it; let them show
their faith by their works, and there
will be no trouble about sufficient
means to put the road through.
As we have said, the people along the
river are waking up to the value OF the
enterprise. The following comments OF
the Wetzel Democrat represents, we be-
levc, the prevailing sentiment:
We notice that an active interest is
being manifested all along the route Of
the proposed railroad from Wheeling to
Parkersburg. The condition OF the
Ohio river tor the past two months has
made more apparent the demands Tor
this road, and We may reasonably eX-
pect within the next six weeks either to
see the river frozen over, or else so lull
of running ice as to stop navigation.
On the upper Ohio navlgatlonise either
suspended or So crippled rs to rem
der it inadequate to the busl-
ness demands Ol the country lying
on and adjacent To- the river for fully
iour months ol every year Now, while
the railroad boom l. going on, It Is the
duty of every man along the route to
say and do all in his power 10 keep 1t
going until it takes practical shape and
the road is built.
II frequently occurs that land owners
through whose property road Is pro
posed to be located, are very liberal
and agree to give the right OF way
when the project is first talked OF,
hut when it becomes an
established tact that the funds can be
raised to build the road, they then
change their minds and demand an eX-
brilliant price Tor the lands they were
willing at former time To donate to the
road. We hope that this will not he
the ease with the land owners along the
Ohio river route, but that they will
gratuitously give the right OF way, be-
cause their lands will be- worth fifty per
cent. more than they are now, as soon
as the road * completed.

Srr,r1Nr Oft demand Of the Demo-

SPEAKING otthr demand OF the Demo-
Gratis in Congress for the repeal Of the
Deputy Marshal law, the New York
World suggests these pertinent facts:
The cOnstitutionality Of one or two
features Of this law is now before the
Supreme Court ior decision. Ii the
law is upheld bv the Court the decision
should be in good faith upheld by the
Democracy 80 lar rs IN" decision goes,
AMI all further discussion ot these feat
ures of the law affected by 1t should
cease. Ii, however, the law is in any
feature of it denounced 10y the Court,
then every feature 81 denounced should
be- promptly removed 10y legislation.
In view Of this the IIorH suggests
there is no need or occasion, and there
can hardly be- 4 natural opportunity,
fer any agitation at the coming session
Of Congress of any Of the topics which
were uppermost during the extra SEES
sion.
