We have been shown the agreement
containing the names Of the Syndicate
to build the W., p. & G. r. r. This
Syndicate is composed without excep-
ton Of solid men Of capital, most Of
them Of widely known reputation finan-
cially. 1t Is seldom that such combi-
nation Of strong names Is brought to-
gether in one enterprise and it is only
fair to say that there are few men In the
State besides Mr.. CAMDEN that could
have gotten up such Syndicate. In
the disappointment occasioned by the
announcement some months since that
the formation of the Syndicate had been
temporarily postponed for the reasons
then given, many persons were disposed
to criticise unkindly Mr.. CAMDEN's
good faith In the matter, which he bore
good naturedly, and the result shows
that he knew what he was about. The
fact Is that Mr.. CAMDEN's good faith
and sincerity in all his transactions have
been his chief characteristic, and in this
instance he has shown it by becoming q
large subscriber in the Syndicate.
The road will be put under contract
from Wheeling to Parkersburg as soon
as all the preliminaries can be arranged
and the right Of way completed. The
syndicate is formed upon the basis that
the right of way win be furnished. Vice
President Thompson informs is that the
free right Of way has already been OBJ
tanned for q little over two-thirds OF the
distance between Wheeling and Park
ersburg through the most valuable bot
tom lands, and that the subscription
made by Wheeling, Petersburg and
other points, is supposed to be sufficient
to obtain the balance Of the right OF
way, most of which will have to be con-
demned.
1t is to be hoped now that the means
has been secured through the exertions
of Senator CAMDEN to build the road, and
the assurance given that it will be placed
under contract, with the expectation
that it will be completed and running
between Wheeling and Parkersburg by
the first Of October next, unless delayed
by the right of wsy-that every one
along the line will take an interest in
aiding the completion of the right Of
way. Let no selfish considerations
stand in the way of the road. If it is
necessary to proceed by condemnation,
let it be done promptly, and let the jury
fix fair compensation, taking into
consideration all the advantages of the
road. Those persons who have given
the right of way deserve great credit for
their public spirit, and it is to be hoped
that those from whom the right Of way
has not yet been obtained will exhibit
the same public spirited liberality.

EXPANDING OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
RYArEMS

We cannot mistake the near approach
of q revolution In our public schools sys-
TENS any more than we can mistake
a.. the demand for new methods.
The time Is not far distant when u
portion of the funds appropriate. for
public schools will be divided with the
poorer classes Of society who are seeking
a training of the hands as well as OF the
bead.
In proportion as the subject comes to
be rightly understood, and the needs OF
our diversified population recognized,
efforts of various kinds are being made
towards the provision Of free industrial
training.
These efforts, at present, are chiefly
supported by private subscriptions by
men of means, but there is no reason
why the States should not, and every
reason why they should come to the
help of this large class Of every commu-
nifty which Is seeking industrial train
ing.
Until it can be demonstrated that it
Is preferable for the majority Of the
youth Of the countrylo engage in profess
sions.Snd mercantile pursuits, there will
exist the uery strongest reasons for the
establishment by the states Of manual
training schools, and Of dividing the
funds which they now appropriate to
the support Of schools which contribute
chiefly to the education and preparation
for professions with those schools which
may make skilled mechanics and arti-
sans for the departments Of manual la-
Dor.
1t ought to be quite clear that it Is
wiser and more aaeeofd with the needs
ofthe masses to spend the school money
In this way than in providing an ad-
vanced collegiate course for pupils edu-
Gated at the public expense. The latter
is extending aid to the few, the former
would profit the many. And In this
intensely practical age and country the
demand for the industrial school is con-
stantly growing far in excess Of the
purely intellectual departments.
There is one feature OF the industrial
school which specially recommends 1t
to public favor, and that is, it can be
made self supporting. The Cath
Ollie church In New, York city
has an institution which employs
1900 boys and 700 girls In various de-
parsments Of industry, such rs making
gloves, shoes, dresses, Gaming chairs,
printing, etc, ETC., and while these
children ere also receiving intellectual
training, they are learning trades aud
supporting with the proceeds oftheir
manual labor, the institution 10 which
they are cared for and employed

one. Need it be said that this marvel
ous nnonstrosity Is the morganatic de-
vice of that grand old laundering syn
thetic English people, which, In affairs
of state, always insists on adapting Old
machinery to new uses, which tries to
convert an antique feudal tin pot Into
the cylinder Of modern legal locomo-
tive, and which produces - ITS
masterpiece In political machinery that
wondrous thing called parliamentary
government, where minister Is put In
the War OH ,e because some other men
have been outvoted in Parliament,
where he gives his time to general legis-
lation instead OF to army affairs, where
he resigns from the War Office because
he has Numbered in the Legislature on
some measure concerning the Irish
Church, or Irish landlords, but keeps
his seat In the Legislature, where he has
made his blunders?

The Beef question.


The price of beef is bound to 30 down
still lower. To-day q big Chicago frm'
which has leased the East st. Louis Can
ming Company's premises, begins killing
beef for the Eastern market. They have. a
capacity for slaughtering 1000 cattle a day,
and for chilling 5000. They say that
they can chill meat for exactly what it
costs to handle the ice. This chilled meat
will be sent East in immense quantities In
refrigerator cars. Already Armour and
other Chicago capitalists are engaged in the
business largely in Chicago. This is not
pleasant news for Eastern butchers, but it
is good news to the great army OF meat eat
ers, with whom beef has bsen a luxury for
months past.

To me the stage is not only a powerful

the midst of the cares of life. Seated in an

one experiences not only needed rest but
more cheerful mental support, relieving
the mind and resting the body far more
than reading or social converse.

idea of the extent of the traffic in these

country are really remarkable. Ajour-

regarding the matter, asserts that the
