Oswald OF the Finance Committee will
Rssign-Railroad Talk.
The local papers seem TO think that
malice has melted the reports of the re-
cent accidents on the B. & S. w. Isn't
there just the least bit Of the flavor OF
"sour grapes" in their strictuIesb We
are sure that the REGISTER has never re-
ported anything but facts, and it is the
judgment OF those who most prominent
ly figured in the different wrecks, that
the REGISTER gave the most correct and
full reports OF the former as well as the
latter accident. The REGISTER, unlike
some other local papers, has no AK to
grind in the matter, and perhaps has
been the warmest advocate the narrow
gauge has had. Ii should be known
that accidents on the local roads are OF
more Importance to our people than
those which occur at foreign points.
The REGISTER is as much an advocate OF
East Ohio, as it is the representative pa
per OF West Virginia; and il an acci-
dent occurs on the roads in the imme-
diate neighborhood OF its prominent cir
culation, il would be direiCt in its duty
II it failed TO report the facts in the mat
ter. We understand the feelings OF
those manipulating the narrow gauge,
and il they had the charity that the
REGISTER has shown to the management
OF the road, the journalistic filings and
the irOwns Of the company would dwin-
die into such insigniicance that each
swould not only be ashamed OF himself,
but would make ample apology for hav-
ing questioned its fidelity and friend
ship. We have an interest in the sue
cess OF our narrow gauge, and We should
be sOrrYif shysters should mislead the
management, or that our friendship
should b. misunderstood.
