between Benwood and Moundsville by
the former. And in pursuance Of this
agreement the p. W.. & Ky. Company
Is now building and has nearly COM
pleted q very expensive piece of road to
Benwood that Is designed to accommo-
date the traffic Of both lines.
The only grounds for this sus-
picion seem to be the supposed diff
Guilty Of the Ohio River road crossing
the sNarrows." This is no e Diff
Guilty and the whole matter was fully
investigated when the road was located.
Engineers representing both eompa-
mics determined after experiment that
it was practicable to drive pies for the
Ohio River track at that point. Piles
will be driven across the marsh and
cribs will be set upon the stone.
Officers Of the B. & o. company deny
that the company has any difficulty
with the Ohio River company or that
there is any purpose to obstruet the
building of that roadacrossth the Narrows.
They are only so%licitous that the Ohio
River track shall not encroach upon or
interfere with the supports of the
former trick, and the only question
seems to be at what distance from the
other the Ohio River track can or must
be located.
1t is all well enough to require the
Ohio River company to comply strictly
and fully with the terms of the coun-
tvs subscription, but to do this it is not
necessary to tumble to every cock and
bull story that may be invented.

visit such places at, say 3 or 6 o'clock. The

Az almost total cessation in ship
ments of grain to Europe is noted. 1t
is said that now is the first time in tif-
teen years hat grain arriving in New
York in the month Of May and early
June has been put into warehouses in
stead Of being loaded for shipment.
Last Saturday the chief inspector OF the
board of marine underwriters stated
that there was not q single sailing YES
sci loading with grain for Europe and
only very few steamers were shipping
grain. Only fifteen vessels left New
York with grain last month, and of
these thirteen went to Portugal. In
years gone by the average Of grain
laden vessels bound for Europe in the
month of May has been $50. Specula-
Iation is assigned as the cause of the
decrease.

THE NOMINATION OF JUDGE FOR.
AkER.

The nomination of Judge FORAKER
by the Ohio Republicans was econ
plished with a greater show of unanim-.
ity than was promised prior to the as
sembling Of the convention.
We have reason to believe that For
AKER is stronger with the people than
with the politicians. FORAKER has
not much hold upon the Ohio bosses,
nor has he any such record OIL charac-
ter as a politician that assures the bosses
of hold upon him. He was not SHEER
MANS man or Fosters man, except
as a kind of HObson's choice.
The action of the convention turned
upon the choice between taking a man
that would natiOnalize the campaign,
or one that would lOcalize it-between
giving prominence to national and gen.
eral issues OF running it on local issues.
There is a presidential bee buzzing
quietly around both SHERMAN and
FOSTER, and they have hoped to make
a great deal out of a victory in Ohio.
SHERMAN has taken great pains to
have it understood that the Ohio fight
is tO be made on national issues, believ-
ing if that State can be brought back
into the Republican fold, it will greatly
augment its Importance in the next
National Republican Convention.
To this end SHERMAN and FOSTER
have worked together to give a national
character to both the ticket and the
platform that should be made by
the Convention; yet neither SHEER.
MAN nor FOSTER was willing To
make the sacrifice of Matchmaking the
ticket in person. The Convention
would doubtless have been willing to
accept and assist their plan of campaign
if either had been willing to be set up
as its corner stone.
But when SHERMAN and FOSTER le-
clined to become the Standard-bearers
there was nothing left but to fall back
upon the local programme. FORA
KER'S nomination means a campaign
upon local issues, although the plat
form endcavors to carry with it the ma
tional ISSUES also. His nomination is a
bid tOthc German voters, and while the
platform stands for temperance, the
candidate stands for the German vote,
temperance or no temperance.
S~HERMAN'S idea Of a temperance and
tariff platform was not ignored by the
convention, but it is safe TO say that we
shall hear more of beer and whisky in
the coming canvass than of tariff or
wages. Ii will be difficult to induce the
masses of the people in Ohio to take a
very intense interest in a question that
does not directly enter into their AN
vass, and will not be materially affected
10y the election of either q Republican
or Democratic Governor. The work
ingmen of Ohio have heard a good deal
of tariff talk, and are rapidly finding
out that they must take care of them
selves instead of trusting to the tariff.
The ProhiOitionists have also discover
ed that they have to look out for them
selves. They can't trust the pOliti-
clans.

There is not much doubt of their con-

EyERYwHEREit seems to he admitted
that lard is freely adulterated with tai
low and cotton seed oil. Anumber of
New York dealers are reported as say
ing that there is no considerable amount
of pure lard in the market. Even the
choicest grades are adu!terated ten per
cent, and from that the mixtures vary
up to seventy per cent. 1t is said that
the Cuban and other West India trade
especially orders the adulterated article
in preference to the pure, because it is
cheaper. In fact it seems to be gener-
ally looked on as very hypOcritical to
object to the adulteratiOn now, when
all dealers are perfectly aware that it
has been going on for years.

THE OHIO RIVER RAILROAD LINE
INTO WHEELING.

The attempt to create a feeling of dis
trust about the plans and purposes of
the Ohio River Railroad Company, is
not justified by single fact or state
ment that anybody a put his finger
upon, for which anybody is willing to
become responsible.
The rumor that this road is planning
to use the Il. x o. track into Wheeling
seems to be the pureSt suspicion. 1t is
treated by the officers of both COM
Tanies as mere fiction. They discredit
and deny il IN toto. The probability is
that such an arrangement was never
conceived or entertained for a moment
by an officer of either road.
The fact is that a formal agreement
has been made, signed and settled be-
tween the p. W. IS Ky. Company anu
the Ohio River Company for the use Of
their respective tracks between Ben.
wood ard Wheeling by the latter, and

large land purchases. In Texas one
lot of about third of a million acres
has been bought by an English CON-
pany, while in Mississippi about a mill

taken up by another. These invest
ments are made with a conviction that
the value of all land i'm America must
increase, and that by u little outlay in

she had spent about q year in teaching, and
kept at her chosen work with gratifying
success till Friday before her departure on
