CAN RAILROADS BE REGULATED?

The Enterprise continues to urge the idea
that a railroad cannot be regulated BY
National or State government. When one
comes to look back upon the fruitless at
tempts of Congress and Legislatures to sub
ject the reads to reasonable notifications of
assumed powers, the proposition advanced by
the Enterprise cannot really be gansaid by
existing facts No sane person will dispute
the right of a government to protect its citi
zens from robbery and extortion, but at the
same time the fact must be admitted the
power to so regulate the corporations has
never been successfully exercised In spite
of ali that has been done upon the subject by
legislation the roads continue to set the law
at defiance, and refuse to recognize any
power in the land as higher than their own.
The Enterprise evades the real and main issue
in controversy and seeks 20 show that the
government cannot lawfully regulate the
wages of railroad employees. The compensation
for the services of conductors, engineers and
brakemen upon railroad is not of such para
mount interest "A TO be made the subject of
newspaper discussion. The question is one
of higher interest and concerns the public at
large. If the Enterprise argument is adj
mitted. viz: that railroads built from the
proceeds of government lands can defy gov
eminent regulation, then the railroads be-
come virtually the rulers of the country and
the people might as we'll understand it now
as at any time.

CARRICK'S SENTENCE.

Carrick, the defaulting Treasurer of Storey
county, was yesterday sentenced by Judge
Rising to five years hard labor in the Pene-
Tertiary, in addition to being fined the
amount of his defalcation. The previous
high standing of the condemned had no
weight with the court, and he was sentenced
to the full extent of the law. 1t is to be
hoped that the lesson of his conviction will
not be lost on his successors in Office. The
counsel of Carrick moved for new trial OF
the ground that the verdict was contrary to
the law. If such is really the case the ne
cessity of an amendment to the law will be
apparent to the most stupid observer.

a VERY curious point is raised in Col. Blan-
ton Duncan's suit against Gen. Thomas r..
Sharp. The latter was left in charge of Col.
Duncan's plantation in 1864, and sold some
negro slaves for $4,000, which amount he has
never paid over. He now refuses to pay on
the ground that all the negroes had been
freed by President Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation, which took effect January lst,
1868, and that therefore Col. Duncan had no
property right in them.

A BOAT was up to the lock, so VIC
are informed, last Saturday, crowded
with people, who desired to 60 up the
river to Fairmont, but the water was
not quite high enough for them to
get over the dam. We are glad to
say that the lock will be completed
now in few days, and then we may
expect to see steamboats, at our
wharf often. If there had been a
boat here Saturday, it could have
made money by going to Fairmont,
as large number of our citizens
were anxious to take pleasure trip
up to our neighboring town. We
think we can safely say to Fairmont-
ers and others living up the river, be
on the look out the next big raise
for more than likely you will get to
see a steamboat.

GRAY DAN, THR FAMOUS PAGER
We learn from the Clarksburg News
that the well-known PAGER, Gray Dan,
lately the property of Mr.. Perry
Camp, of the Commercial Hotel, of
Clarksburg, departed this life on the
31st ult,, at his stables, aged 10.
Grey Dan was an old favorite in this
neighborhood. He was matched on
Wheeling Island with SLEEPY
George" and. Copper Bottom" two
good horses, and won three straight
heats in 2:25, 2:254 and 2:27. He
also won race at this place, which
was an exciting and interesting con
test for purse of $1,000, with Bay
Harry, making the time in 2;3l. He
was first owned by DR.. Hamilton, Of
Welsville, Ohio, who sold him to a
gentleman of Harrison county and
from whom Mr. Camp bought him.
The horse always had many admirers
when he appeared on the track here.
Dan has made excellent time in Ken
lucky, Maryland, Ohio, Virginia and
West Virginia. Mr.. John Cridland,
the constant driver of Dan on all oc-
casions, died in Washington, Pa, in
1876, and the horse died in 1880 both
efthe same disease. A singular CO

Mr.. EpIroR:-Will you please al
low me few lines in your valuable
paper, to call the attention of the
ministers and good people of our
town to the fact that we have not
had temperance meeting in Nor
gantown for some time. What is the
matter? Are there no persons in
Morgantown who drink? Don't we
believe in temperance revivals? Your
correspondent, for one, believes that
much good has been, and will be
done through the influence Of tenn
perance meetings. Our object in
writing this is to make a suggestion,
which is this: When the protracted
meeting which is now in progress in
the NJ. e. Church is over, why can't
all the Ministers and Christians in
our town unite, and have a
grand temperance meeting2 Does
any one doubt the good that would
result from such an effort? We don't,
We hope to hear from others on this
subject.

body that comes in her way. We

have made us oblivious to her frailties.
