A Boom for the Kanawha River.

A Boom for the Kanawlia River.
All Railroads seem to lead to the
Kanawha River at present.
The branch of the Chesapeake and
OHIO, on the South side of the Kama
wha, with a transfer at or near the
Mouth, seems now certainty.
Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
have been expended in locking and
daming the River, and hundreds Of
thousands of dollars more are 10 be
expended in the same way.
By Spring the Richmond and Ale
gheny Railroad will be in running
order from here to Charleston; the
Wheeling, Parkersburg and Charles
ton, and the Baltimore and Cincin.
cinnati roads will be under contract,
and work will be commenced on the
Bridge.
Sixty thousand dollars worth Of
fine Kanawha River bottom land
adjoining town, has been purchased
for Depots and other accommoda.
tions for these roads.
AT present everything seems head.
ing for the Kanawha river, even the
town itself, and we hail it with joy.
Ohio has never had Speaker oil
the National House of Representa-.
tives.-Er
Well, Keifer is their man now
and they have no reason to complain
as Ohio has been very well taken
care of lately, If We remember right
ly, Ohio stole the Presidency a few
years ago, and put in the Chair 0
man who had never been elected
named Hayes. And then came an
other Ohio man-Garfeld-a good
pure, honest man, whom the thieves
OF the Republican party found they
could not control him, and if per
mitted to occupy the Presidential
Chair for the term, that they would
be hunted down, prosecuted, and
many of them would probably spend
the remainder of their days in the
penitentiary. Then it was they re-
solved to kill him, and Guiteau Il
Stalwart Republican, was selected
to assassinate him. How well the
scoundrel carried out the plot of thu
consDirators, is known to the whole
country.
We know this is not pleasant tt
the ears of Republicans, but we must
expose their diabolical deeds, wheth
er it hurts their feelings or not.
1t is urged upon Congress to pass
three per cent. funding bill to taxi
care of the outstanding bonds about
TO become due.-Er.
We don't want any funding bill
What the people demand is the pay
ment of the bonds us fast as they be
come due. Greenbacks are now a.
good as gold, and it is good enough
also to redeem bonds with. Let u.
get rid of this debt before the Repub
icans form combination with some
national rcadjusters, as they did il
Virginia. They are on the record a.
repudiationists, and they are rot t,
be trusted longer,
The nomination at this time o
candidates to run three years henc,
is like the young lady in the pres
ence of her ailianced shedding tear
at the sight Of ia baby's grave-entire

When dorner says anything
which is not often-he says it to thu
point. The above little squib will NJ
doubt dampen the ardor of the nu
merous "aspirants" in this county.
Congressman Cox, who has Just re
turned from abroad, says there is
very strong feeling against Guiteau
particularly in Germany. The,
know no such thing there as his al
legged insanity. The Germans were
always a sensible people.-Et.
The trial Of Guiteau still goes on
1t will probably end this week in hi.
acquittal. Corkhill's bad manage
ment of the governments side of tn,
case is what will let the guilty fellow
escape the gallows.

The trouble in the Kanawha Val

miners have all gone to work again
