We feel like throwing up our hat
and giving old Preston q compli
mentry boot in honor Of the success
of her railroad proposition, voted on
by the people last Saturday.
Our dispatches inform us that the
subscription was carried by vote of
275 to 126. 1t thus had 80 votes to
spare over three-fifths majority.
Considering the determined op-
position which the subscription met
from certain quarters, this is a vic
tory which the enterprising citizens
of that county and especially the
Press, can appreciate.
Ifjudiciously applied, this money
so voted will advance the material
interests of old Preston very greatly,
as it puts one of her principal towns
virtually upon through line of rail
way east and west, giving it ready
market and an opportunity it has
long sought and greatly needed, to
increase its population and bust
ness. Kingwood is an attractive
town and possesses many superior
advantages as a residence and bust
ness point, but for the drawback of
being removed from railroad commu-
nication.
Moreover, the county and the
county seat are rich and abund-
emily able to build a railroad. They
will never feel the tax imposed by
this subscription. The railroad
itself will pay the increase of tax it
necessitates, and every individual in
terest,will be SO much improved as to
make the tax a benefit, rather than
burden.
Let the people Of Preston put their
road under contract at once. and let
old Monongalia, Barbour, Marion and
Harrison take fresh courage from
the example and push their projects
with renewed zeal. West Virginia
is getting out of the woods slowly, but
surely Register.

Neglect of the MonOngahcI
River improvements.

If the people of the Monongahela
Valley, who have been basing great
expectations on the early completion
of the works began by the Govern
ment on the Monongahela River,
don't want to he left in the lurch,
they had better be making some in
quiries at headquarters as to wheth
er the river and harbor bill includes
an appropriation for continuing that
work.
1t would be we'll for them to put
some leading questions to the West
Virginia Representatives, and know
certainly whether that appropriation
is named in the bill, and if not, why
not?
We agree with the people Of that
section of the State that they are en-
titled to this appropriation, and it
will be a great wrong to them if they
do not get it. lit was new pro-
ject not yet begun, it would be diff
ferent, but the Government has
blockaded the river for ten or fifteen
miles by beginning the work, and has
expended large sum of money in
putting this obstruction there. Now,
to leave it in that condition, and
thus waste the money already ex-
pended, beside damaging aud dstroy-
ing the business of that section, in
great measure, is wrong and nui-
sance.
The river and harbor appropria-
tions this year are unusually liberal.
A great many new projects have been
recommended, and those works al
ready begun have been generously
provided for. But by some strange
course of reasoning this important
improvement in the Monongahela is
left unprovided forfeit to be wash
ed and beat down by the foods and
ice-whilc the business of the river
is to stand still, or be obstructed by
one hundred Thousand dollars worth
of stone built across the channel.
The section of the State living
along Tie Monougatela has no rail-
road outlet. 1t is dependent for its
existence, almost, upon the river. 1t
should have this work completed
without delay. There is no excuse
for the appropriations being dribbleo
out through series of year. This
work is really urgent; the entire APP
preparation for its completion SHOULD
be made, and made now; there is NJ
cause for higgling and hating abou
it. 1t the people of the Monongahe
la valley call upon their Representa-
tives in Congress for the why's" ant
swherefores" ofthis matter.-R Reg.

In this condition of things there
was but one course to judi
cious craftsmanship, and that was
to provide an increased annual rev.
enue ~
There were but two ways in which
to do this; the first, by increasing the
rate Of taxation, and the second, by
a fe-assessmcnt.
The Legislature determined that
the latter course was most Just and
equitable to the whole people. 1t
was the beginning of a new decade,
when it has been customary to re-
assess the property of the State. The
constitution requires that taxation
shall be equal and uniform, and this
cannot be made so without re-assess-
ments every few years. Many sec
tions of the State had been greatly
improved since the last assessment.
Railroads and manufactures had
come into existence; unimproved
land had been developed: mines
had been opened; extensive bust
ness operations had sprung up, and
these Few acquisitions to or
wealth were contributing little or
nothing to the support of the govern
ment.
Evidently it was the right thing to
do to have all the property of the
State put upon an equality upon the
assessment books. The lands now
paying their full quota of tax would
not be disturbed by it-they would
pay no more tax than heretofore
while property that had enhanced in
value could not complain if it was
made to pay only its fair proportion
as to value.
The re-assessment act was passed,
and the assessors are now at work
making an equitable distribution of
the burdens of government, re-adjust-
ing values, reducing the tax where it
is too large and increasing it when it
is too small-for Que is as much their
duty as the other. They are not to
increase, but to make the rate oftax-
alton equal and uniform throughout
the State.
This is all there is Of it. A rea-
sonable man would find no objection
to this course.
But carpers will carp.
They carp if they find the needs
of the State in excess of the rev.
enues.
They carp if the State don't pro-
vide an increased revenue.
They carp if it does.
They would carp if, instead of re-
assessing, the rate Of taxation had
been increased.
They now carp because instead of
increasing the rate of tax, it is deter
mined to re-asscss.
1t is their nature to carp.
But who has ever seen from one
of these carpers suggestion by way
of improving the plan adopted by the
observation-disclosures.

A Pertinent Point.

Some of the voters Of Monongalia
county are opposing railroad sub
scription because the road will not
run through their section, around
their barns and pig styes. But the
people of Maine, California and other
antipodal States are contributing
money to improve the Monongahela
river through that county, and make
no fuss about it, either, although they
are thousand miles away and
many of them don't know where
Monongala county is. They believe,
however, in the reflex benefits which
every section of the country de-
rives from every other section that
is developed and improved Wheel

Carping About the Re.Assess>
ment Act.

Some of our Republican exchanges
in the State find a favorite subject
for carping in the act providing
for re-assessment of the real estate.
Professional carpers never inquire
into the merits of measure, never
consider the nneossity which prompt
ed it, and, while only finding OBJ
jections, never suggest anything
better.
Nevertheless, these fellows have
sometimes to be answered
For several years past, although
the State has been growing in popu-
lation, and her public institutions
have been, of necessity growing in
dimensions, both as to capacity and
expense, and the entire machinery
of the government has been enlarged
and increased, there has been nc
increase in taxation and conse-
quently no proportionate increase in
the revenues to meet the increas
ing demands upon the State treas
ury.
During the eleven years in which
the Democratic party has admins,
tered the State Government there has
not only been no increase of taxation
but an actual decrease of the rate
existing under Republican admin
| istration. The consequence has beer
that the revenues have not met the
actual necessary expenses of Tho
State. There has been no complaint
of extravaganza, of waste, or O.
misrepresentation or fraud in the
administration of the finances. Blu
every year with all the stintine
and, in fact, with too much par
simony, in the appropriations, there
has been a deficit in the revenues
and the State has been obliged t.
borrow.

J of the singing he got the last time
he tackled Col. Ben. In the Second
District, the friends of Dan Lucas, of
Jefferson, claim that two years ago
when it was found in the convention
that it was impossible to beat John
Blair Hoge otherwise, Hoge and Lucas
pooled their issues against Martin
and tohabawked himwith the clear
understanding that Hoge was to wear
his scalp for two years and then to
turn it over to Lucas. Naturally
Hoge's friends remember nothing
about any such rash compact. The
indications are that their memory
will be refreshed in a very lively
manner when the convention meets,
though the friends of both parties
are confident Flick, of "amendment"
fame, is about to consent to be i'm
molated. The race will be an easy
one unless the Lucas and Hoge fac
tions tame down considerably. 9th
erwise there may be a lukewarmness
in the campaign.
In our District we hear Of no SER
ious opposition to Mr.. Kenna, and
as nobody is trying just now to
jump into his Congressional pas
lures, it is likely his fences are
in excellent repair. We believe no
one has publicly announced his in
tention to break into his "close."
1t would be q very handsome com
pliment were the sectus to remain so.
As for the opposition in this District,
we presume there will be the usual
patriot racking around over the
track with the colors of the forlorn
hope.
In the Fourth District the racket
has begun, and lively one it prom
Uses to be. About every other man

jority entities her to it. We are glad

Some of our citizens are opposing
the railroad subscription on the plea
that no definite route has been To-
Gated. We are unable to see why
this should be any reason for such
opposition. If a positive location
were made, we can conceive how
some persons, of selfish motives might
oppose it owing to the fact that they
would be far off the line of the road,
but, when its route is unsettled, as is
the case now the location should not
be bone of contention. Especially
does this objection seem to raised by
the citizens of the west side, who
take it for granted that the road will
be built on the east side. This is an
unwarranted surmise, for there is as
much if not more likelihood that the
west side will be the one on which
the road is built, and we believe that
we echo the sentiments of the east
side when we say that would willing
ly yield to such an arrangement.
But laying aside the probabilities of
the case, it is unwise to oppose the
measure no matter where the road is
located.
1t is impossible to build a railroad
through this county without benefit
ing every one of its citizens, even if
he should be at distance from the
road, or even nearer to some other
road OF course it will benefit some
more than others, but it surely would
he very catfish for theeo lIo receive
the least benefit to oppose it merely
because it is of more advantage to
some one else
Every citizen of the county no
matter whether he be near to or far
from the probable line of the road
should take patriotic view of the
case and act as he believes the pub
lie good demands.
Neighborhood antagonism, town
and county opposition and sectional
feud should be- forgotten, when we
are called upon to assist in an enter
prise of such common interest and
Importance as this. And trusting to
he better judgment of our cnlight
ened citizenship we have high hopes
that such will be the case and when
the time for action comes, all differ.
ences will be laid aside, and philan
thropy and patriotism will take theil
place and oar county be brought out
from its long and wearisomc isolation
1t is the imperative duty of ever,
citizen Of Monongalia county, who
has her interest at heart, to be al

vote, talk and work for the railroad
If the friends of progress will come
nobly up 70 the work victory will b.

We see from the Upshur county
papers that some disgruntled citi-
zens, moved by selfish interests more
than by the good of the county are
endeavoring to prevent the issuing of
the bonds to {. w. & G. r. R., as the
people of the county voted to have
done. 1t is to be regretted that some
people are so blinded by prejudice
and selfishness as to oppose every
thing of a public character unless it
plainly and openly puts money into
their pockets and we verify believe
that such persons would oppose it
even then if it should happen to bene-
fit any one else the least degree more
than themselves. Such spirit is any
thing but commendable, and we are
surprised that now when Upshur has
an excellent chance to get out of the
woods that anybody in the county
would seek to prevent or retard this
great advcnce which will return to
the county ten dollars and more for
every one expended in the subscrip
ton. We trust however that the
good progressive men of old Upshur
will present solid front to the sore
head opposers, and keep the ball roll
ing until the sound of the whistle
reverberates among her hills and the
CLEAN of the headlight pierces her
darkness, and then let Mononongalia
follow her example and an era of
prosperity will surely dawn. Good
times will come, and peace and plenty
bless the land.
