New York, March ia Washing
ton special says the stalwarts are sick
of their assault on Garfield's memory.
The Post says of their recently pub
lished letter attacking the dead presi-
dent: The letter was a genuine produc-
ton of a genuine republican, who sat
In the Chicago convention as a delegate
with Garfield and voted for him in No
vember. In a number of western
papers Chauncey 1. Filley is charged
with the responsibility, but a n of
fairness impels us to relieve him at
once from such an imputation. Filley
might have written the letter, and pos
sibly would have done so if he had have
thought of it. 1t was a stalwart with a
much more Common and familiar name.
The letter itself contained the state
ment that the writer was a member of
the Chicago convention, and at no time
voted there for Garfield. A distin-
guished officer says there was nothing
unsoldierlike in the letter, but it bore a
tone of warm affection for Garfield.
The Critic, which has been credited
with being a stalwart journal, says the
great body of the American people have
made up their minds about Garfield.
They watched in feeling by his bedside
all last summer. They came to regard
him almost as a member of the family.
When he died they mourned, and when
he was laid away to rest forever they
took his fame into their keeping. These,
let us remark, are the people who cast
the votes. No matter what he may
actually haYe been made of, they adopt
ed Garfield as their idol, and, our word
for it, whatsoever for whatsoever pur-
pose, attempts to drag his fame through
the mud will encounter resentment lit
tie short Of feIocity.

CONGRESSIONAL
SENATE.

Washington, March 15.-Edmunds
has obtained an indefinite leave of alb
sence on account of the illness of his
family.
Malone introduced a concurrent res
olution, which was read a first time, as
follows:
That in the event of any reduction
in the tax on tobacco manufactured in
the United States, a rebate equal to
such reduction shall be granted or all
stamped or tax paid tobacco manufac.
tured in the United States. after the
adoption Of this resolution, and between
such date and time when any law max
ing such reduction shall go into effect,
then remaining in the hunds of licensed
dealers and others than manufacturers.
Garland and Jones spoke in favor Of
the formers bill to appropriate Sl5,-
900, 900 for l-vees on the Mississippi
river.
Vest held that $3.50, 600, 900 would be
well spent on the river.
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on Mississippi river and tributaries.
Consideration of the p~ostofhce appro-
priation bill was resumed. The pend
ing amendment to make the provision
relating to sub contracts applicable only
to contracts hereafter made, was agreed
to-yeas 80, nays IL. The increase in
the item for compensation of p~ostofice
clerks of $4,000 was agreed to.
The next amendment Of the senate
was in the item of sub-letting contracts,
and declares that a carrier employed by
n contractor or sub-contractor, who
shall file his agreement and evidence
that be has done his work, shall have
a lien on the money Of his employer fol
his pay, and il the contractor or sub
contractor shall fail to pay the carrier

to-day that he intended to introduce
two other bills providing the machinery
for enforcing this bill, and if they met
the approval of the senate he thought
all the defects would be obviated.
Burrows house bill has been reported
favorably from the committee, and Ed
munds' measures will probably be
tackled on to it, rather than to have two
bills independent of each other.
Edmunds, however, is understood to
believe that less antagonism would be
encountered by a small measure sepa-
rately, or he would have simpliaed the
original bill. At any rate, if the bill
passed is defective, the spirit of con-
gress is such now that it will in all
probability be made effective before
they are done with it.

Lynn, Mass, March ia boiler in
Goodwin Bros. shoe factory exploded
this morning, leveling the building and
killing several men. The fire depart
ment were quickly called out, and i'm
mediately went to work to remove the
neal Exchange street. One poor fellow
who vas badly mangled was taken out,
and his first words were ''there are
more in there" Soon after the dead
body of John Moore, engineer, terri
bly, mangled, was recovered. Half an
hour afterwards another body was re-
covered. Four men who usually went
to work at six O'Clock every morning
are missing.
A portion of the boiler weighing a
a ton vas thrown a quarter Of a mile
to Newhall street, and striking a house
it glanced across and drove itself into
the front doorway of the house Of
Councilman Burnett. Had the accident
happened half an hour later the loss of
life must have been terrible, as fifty
people work in the building above the
boiler,.and fortunately had not arrived
when the explosion occurred. Another
piece of the boiler went through a large
covered walk across the court leading
from the street to the scen of the cat
astrope, in al opposite direction from
that portion which flew to Newhall
street.

Monongalia votes on June 10th up
on proposition to subscribe $780,
600 to the capital stock of the propos-
ed road that our county and Marion
carried vote for last May. If Mon
ongalia county votes thesubscription
which the friends of the road feel
assured she will, it will practically
assure the success Of the road. If
Monongalia fails to carry the vote,
it will be very serious, if not fatal
blow to the proposed road, as it will
have to pass entirely through Monon-
gala, and she having no railroad
within the limits of the county would
naturally be more benefited by the
new road than either Harrison or
Marion, they having now an outlet
by rail. 1t lis earnestly hoped that
Monongalia will wake up and vote
the subscription.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1882-06-03

Let not the voters Of Monongalia
be deludea by the idea that the con-
struction of railroad through the
county will suddenly and as by en-
chantment make them all rich. This
it will not DO. Growing rich honestly
is slow process, but we will tell
you what we verify believe it will
do For the present it will give our
working men employment. For the
future, and year after year as time
goes on, it will develop, create and
build up business enterprises. These
will stimulate and support the far
mer, and give him a home market
for his surplus productions. Fol
lowing this, as a necessary conse-
quence, all the hills and valleys and
waste places in the county will be
utilized for production, and made to
blossom as the rose. Following this,
and as a necessary consequence also,
this grand old county of ours, which
we love so well, and of whose history
we are so proud, will support three
times its present population; and we
will not have our decadence thrown
up to us. We will not be told we
must take a back scat, and have our
representative power reduced one
half, as it now is. Let Monongalia
work in this issue for self, for home,
for friends, for each other, for the
glory of the past and the hopes of
the future.
The men of to-day will not vote at
very many more elections, but we
have children to live after us when
we are gone. Let them not be told
in the hereafter that their want of
thrift and prosperity is because of
the ignorance and want of enterprise
of their fathers. Let us have in our
old countyin few years an enter
prizing, industrious and thrifty popu-
lation of $4,000.

The Railroad Route.

Objection is made by many per-
sons because the order of the County
Court does not definitely make the
appropriation to the construction of
a railroad in a specifically defined
route; and it is further argued by
these opposers of the enterprise, that
the not doing so was deceitfully in
tended as fraud and a snare to the
voters. The members of the County
Court are our fellow citizens, friends
and neighbors, and if there be any
body in the world who are entitled
to our confidence, they are the men.
No thoughts of fraud or deception
ever entered their minds. The men,
beers of the corporation who propose
to build the road are also the best
business men in our county, and the
counties of Marion and Harrison;
men in whom the public have i'm
plicit confidence, with every one Of
whom no one would hesitate mo-
ment to intrust his private business
affairs. Now these men are interest
cd Just like we all are in this enter
prise; what will be good for them
will be good for us. We all have a
common interest in it. Then shall
we adopt the dog in the manager
policy, if the road does not come by
our door-does not as greatly benefit
US as it will Of necessity benefit
others; shall we therefore oppose It'll
Indeed we would just soon see il
winding its way through the rich
and populous districts of Cass and
Grant as anywhere else in the coun-
ty. That it will benefit these dis
tricts more than any others in the
county is most apparent, considering
their rich coal fields and abundant
resources. A railroad, however, is
or ought to be, built for all time, and
therefore the nearest and cheapes
route is the best for all parties interes
ted. If this route is through Cass and
Grant, we say amen. Let us leave
this question open to the judgmen
of competent railroad engineers
whose scientific attainments and Ions
experience in the business of locat
ing roads, entitle them to our conf
dences Is it not manifest to ever,
sensible man, if this question is t
be determined by everybody, that i
win not be, and indeed, cannot be
determined at all. Give us rail
road anywhere in old Monongalis
but first and primarily give US a rail
road.

A Republican exchange remarks:


"The re-assessment bill will be
heard from during the coming cam
paign, and it will take good deal of
explaining to explain it away. Our
Democratic brethren had better pre-
pare to stand from under"
1t is fair to say that the Republi
can party of West Virginia is OPP
posed to the re-assessment of the
real estate of this State.
According to the Constitution of
the State it is imperative that the
real estate be assessed after each
decennial national census. There
fore it was incumbent on the Legis-
lature to provide for the re-assess-
ment, and it done so.
Opposition to re-assessment, with
the assertion that the purpose is
merely to increase taxes, is shameful
and demagogical, and is an assump-
ton, though purposely false one,
that real estate in West Virginia
never increases in value. When it is
asserted that there is no necessity
for a re-assessment it is virtual
declaration that the value of the real
property Of this State has not in
creased in value in the last five or
ten years. Everybody knows such a
declaration would be- miserably
Indifferent lie.
The late National Census, taken
in 1880, shows almost phenomenal
increase in many parts of the State
Property has increased an hundred
fold, and in some instances thous-
and fold in value. Large territory
that few years ago was worth from
fifty cents to five dollars an acre is
now worth from ten to fifty dollars
an acre. There is a great deal Of
land in this State taxed at fifty cents
per acre that cannot be bought from
the owners for ten dollars per acre
Personal property is re-assessee
every year, and there is no reason
why real estate should never be re-
assessed.
Is there any reason why there
should not be an increased assess
ment Of a farm that, short time ago
was worth one thousand dollars, bu
which to-day, through development
by railroads or mines, has an agri
cultural value of ten thousand dol
lars?
4 Everybody knows that city rea
estate in West Virginia has largely
increased in value in the last few
years, and is there any reason VIII
taxes should not be paid on the add
tional value?
The Democratic party has nothing
to be ashamed Of in the matter 0
re-assessment.
4 We would be glad if our increasing
prosperity were so rapid that a ne'
assessment would be required ever
year. The enhanced value of on
, lands is an evidence of prosperit
that every citizen should hail will

not escape the tax of the B. & o. r. r.
You pay your proportion. There are
only three ways in which you can
escape, viz Buy nothing, sell moth
ing, nor move out Of the country. Can
you afford to pay this high tariff
rather than vote the subscription?
So much Of paying by saving.
"What about paying by incomes
An engineer who passed over the
routes on both sides Of this river said
that about go per cent of the earn
ings of road were required to pay
running expenses, repairs, etc. The
other 40 per cent. were profit In
doubtedly the county would receive
her dividends on the stock she held
in the road. Every precaution has
been thrown ground the subscription.
The safeguards are considered the
best can be placed around it. The
best security is, the money is to be
expended in the county. If no road
is built no bonds will be issued. The
proposition is to begin the road at
the Pennsylvania line. Thus Monon-
galia's portion viii be built first.
"What does it cost year to haul
produce and to reach depots, at an
average of fifteen miles? I would
not undertake to haul the produce q
year for $4,000.
"Now suppose the road fist built
Half the money will be left among
us. The increase of produce viii
more than pay the tax. As soon ~
the road is built it becomes taxable
property to help pay the very bonds
issued to build it. Within five years
the population and wealth will be
half doubled. A few years ago We
paid 100000 or 100000 bounty,
and scarcely felt it. This was to
pay war debt. Ought we net to
do as much to secure railroad? We
can not afford to vote down the sub
scription.
"What can we say of Monongalias
Where is she today? A third or
fourth rate county, tagging behind
her sister counties. If the B. Il O.
Railroad with all its exactions, run

much that it eclipses us, what would

than these, between here and Pitts
burgh, bring from 800 to $3.50 per
acre. These sell at $50 or $50.
What makes their lands more valua-
Bile than these? The products Of
their lands are more marketable.

proach and a by-word if we have not
