COMMENCEMENT.

Old Time in his rapid flight has
brought us another Commencement.
Already extensive preparations are
being made for this grand gala time.
The University campus is being
trimmed up, and those in charge are
doing everything possible to make
the grounds and buildings look
attractive and pleasant.
Nor does this stop with the Uni
versity, but it is also the case with
the people of the town. During the
week of Commencement we are to be
exposed to the critical eyes of many
visitors, and it is entirely commend
able that we should strive to appear
in as favorable light as possible,
But it is by the people of the
country more especially that this
time is awaited with more anxiety.
Then it is that all business and cares
are laid aside and week of holidays
is taken. And just as the people of
the country look forward to Com
mencement for their week OF enjoy
ment and relaxation, so in return do
the University people look to the
country people to make UP the larger
portion of those who attend. 1t
would be rather a dull affair indeed
were it not for this, and the interest
manifested by the people of the sur
rounding country, ought to be, and
no doubt is highly appreciated by all
connected with the University.
We hope to have the same good
time this year, and the Professors,
students and townspeople are anxious
that large crowd will be present
and that we will have grand good
time during the week.
1t is a good thing that the people
of the town and county are thus
brought into contact and become
better acquainted with each other;
that we may see one another not only
when business is the object of bring
ing us together but also when pleas
ure and happiness are everywhere,
and all the auspices for our mingling
together are most favorable.
And we are sure that we are in
accord with the feelings of all our
townspeople, when we extend to
those of the country a hearty invita-
ton to come in and enjoy the good
things of Commencement with US,
and may we all improve the oppor-
tunity for getting better acquainted
with each other, and lay aside all
animosities that may exist between
town and county and inaugurate an
era of good feeling aud friendship.

Railroads.

1t is hardly necessary in this en-
lightened day to undertake to prove
by argument that railroads arc bene-
fetal to the sections through which
they pass and to the country at large.
1t is true we sometimes hear people
contenaing that railroads are an in
jury to the country, but this is not
the verdict Of the people at large
There are some disadvantages con-
nected with the passage of railroad
through country, but it is an estab
lished fact that from a financial and
economic standpoint, railroads are
beneficial to any country. The build
ing of railroads should be encour-
aged in all proper ways. Individual
owners of land should donate right
of way through their premises, or at
least not demand excessive damages,
because the road will be of great
benefit to such land owners. Counties.
might with .propriety take limited
amount of stock in a railroad that
proposes to pass through them, pro-
vided of course that there is no doubt
in regard to the bona tide character
of the proposed road. The individual
capitalists of the counties should
encourage railroad building by TAX
ing stock in roads that propose to-
pass through their respective counties,
il in their Judgment such roads will
paw a sufficient dividend on the
amount invested. The amount Of
taxable property owned by railroad
company within the bounds Of =
county through which it passes, will
generally be valued at not less than
half q million dollars for taxable
purposes, and would pay q large
amount annually, alone, to say moth
thing Of the amount that will be
paid by the numerous enterprises
that spring up along the line Of .
railroad.
It is not wise policy to have too
m UGH legislation on the freight and
passenger rates charged by railroad
companies. Competition will regu-
late these rates. Let the building Of
railroads be encouraged at least by
not hampering and restricting them
| too much. A network of railroads
traversing our State in every direc-
ton will do more to regulate freight
and passenger rates than al the
Legislatures and railroad commits
sions in the United States. The
only legislation we need is to pre-
vent bogus companies.from swindling
honest people Of the State. Let
West Virginia, as far as possible,
build her own railroads. OF course
| if loutsiders want to help us with
their capital we will be glad to receive
them and share with them, but there
is no necessity of our standing back
and waiting for foreigners and non
residents to build our railroads for
US and consequently enjoy all the
profits Of the Observation-Disclosures
Enterpribs.

To the laboring men of Mononga-
liza county: The construction of a
railroad through the county will at
ford to you what you have not for a
long time had, and what is so abso-
lutely necessary for the comfort and
support of yourselves and families,
namely: constant employment at
remunerative prices. BY which you
not only secure personal benefit,
but also q public good to all our citi-
zens, for all time to come. Vote then
for the appropriation, and thus Sc
cure constant employment, at good
wages, at home, and build up, devel-
OPP andi improve your own county.
1t is because we have no public
improvements that our young people
60 West, and seek their fortunes
among strangers and in strange
lands. 1t is a fact, nevertheless,
which cannot be successfully contro-
verted, that for climate, soil, water,
coal, iron ore, stone, timber, and,
indeed, all the natural resources
which make a country great, and its
people prosperous and happy, old
Menongalia stands in the front rank
and she wants nothing but public
improvements, connecting her with
the great ontside world, to make
homes within her borders not only
beautiful and happy, but even more
desirable than can be either found or
created elsewhere. Workingmen of
Monongalia, be at the polls on the
10th of June next.

The beginning of she End.


1t would seem that the days of the
Republican party in Pennsylvania
are numbered.
They evidently are tired Of the OPP
preston Of the bosses and as far as
can be asccrtained are preparing to
give Cameron and his crowd the
grand bounce.
Last year Charles S. Wolfe, self
nominated independent candidate for
State Treasurer poiled $4,000 votes,
and his followers this year have or
ganized themselves into a party and
are going to carry on a strong cam
paign against the machine.
Senator Mitchell is one of the
prime movers in the independent re-
volt and has large support. They
have nominated a regular State tick
ct which is conceded by all to be a
very stroIS one.
Gen. John Stewards battle SCARED
veteran Of Franklin county heads the
ticket as the nominee for Governor
and in all probability will make it
lively for Gen. Beaver, the regular
nominee.
The Philadelphia Times (Rep.) J
comments upon the independent
nominees as follows:
"The independent Convention that
met in this city yesterday, exhibited
all the solid and enduring qualities
of revolution. 1t was no riot of
cranks and soreheads; no conclave of
theorists who learn nothing and ac-
complish nothing. 1t was body of
representative men, thoroughly con
served by the most intelligent,
thoughtful and earnest people of the
State, and they grasped the situation
like men who felt equal to the great
task Of revolutionizing mighty par
ty and overthrowing the proudest and
best fortified personal domination.
1t was inspired by single purpose
the elevation and publication of
the Republican party, and all indi-
vidual interests were subordinated to
the supreme necessity that made
every section of the State send its
best men to take counsel for Repub-
liean deliverance."
Then after biographical sketches
of the nominees concludes:
"Such is the Independent Repub-
lican ticket presented to the people
Of Pennsylvania by one of the ablest
and most untrammelled Republican
conventions ever held in the State
1t challenges the closest scrutiny and
the most searching criticism as to
the ability, integrity and manhood of
it's candidates, and it can defantly
challenge comparison with the ticket
nominated under the boss system at
Harrisburg. 1t. is ticket of the
Republican people, made by the in
dependent sentiment that now asserts
its supremacy, and it has formed it's
line of battle, chosen its leaders and
invites the shock Of the conflict, to
prove that government Of the people,
by the people and for the people shall
not perish from the earth.

If there is one county in this State
that has peculiarly suffered for the
want of a railroad, that county is
Monongalia. One of the oldest in
the State, with salubrious climate,
fine. farms, excellent coal and iron
ore, Monongalia county has neyerthe-
less fallen behind in the last twenty
especially in the last ten years; so
much so that she lost representa-
tive in the last apportionment. Not
withstanding this, we reada letter in
the Morgantown papers of last week,
from a section of the county, oppos-
ing the voting of the proposed sub
scription of $4,000 to the building
of railroad through the county.
The objections urged are that they
1.-THE objectors) live remote from
where the road is likely to go, and
that Morgantown will receive the
most benefit. The idea that rail
road could be built through Monon-
gala without benefitting all parts Of
the county is simply childish. Oh
course the parts of the county imme
diately upon the road will receive
the more benefit; but they have te
pay more for it, for there is where
the value of the property will be in
creased most; hence the larger par
of the tax burden will fall upon them

THE PEACH CROP along the valley
of the Hudson is pronounced to be a
total failure. Late frosts have de-
stroyed what was not killed by the
earlier frosts and freezes. This will
benefit the Delaware and Maryland
peach growers, who have the promise
of abundant crops.
