The'iufamous Star Route scandal
is very likely to be submitted to an
other investigation, and this time
with more tangible results than in
the previous attempt. Dorsey, who
was made the scapegoat on the pre-
vious examination was hurt to the
quick, and his soreness was aggra-
waited by the ranking thought that
his blood was shed as an expiatory
sacrific for the immunity of others.
Ex- Postmaster General James was
also made to suffer by the admins
tration for his interference, and while
in Office, life was made miserable for
him. Dorsey is now travelling
through the country, and everywhere
that he goes he speaks plainly and
gives facts which in time will stir up
the entire country into insisting on
full exposure of the shameful iniq-
uities which have enabled the Re-
publican party to maintain its hold
on the public treasury. Mr.. James
is now out of public life; he has
nothing to gain or lose by a frank
admission Of the ways in which he
was thwarted in carrying out his
duty and conviction in the Star
Route frauds,and he may be depended
upon TO give full expose when called
upon.

The Monongahela river has be-
haved exceedingly well this year,
comparatively speaking. While neigh
boring streams were on the rampage,
overlooking their banks, sweeping
houses and other property into the
current and playing all manner OF
surprising and destructive pranks,
the Monongahela flowed placidly
within its legitimate bounds, doing
no harm to anybody. Moreover lit
sent out its ice in advance Of the
flood, thus sparing the population
below from any danger or damage
on that account. We want it under
stood that our river is not at all
responsible for the destruction
wrought along The banks Of the Ohio.

The Old Round Tower.

Those who visit Newport, Rhode,
Island, are shown the old round tow
err. which is one of the chief attrac-
tions of this place. This was proba-
bly, built by the Norsemen early in
the thirteenth century, and was used
by them as tower in which to fee
for safety when attacked by the ma
tives. 1t was their tower of safety,
ard if it could talk, what volumes Of
history could it relate. Just as it
was tower of safety to the early
discoveries Of America, so is Peruna
to the citizens Of our country to-day.
As it is prepared exclusively from
vegetable compounds, and contains
no poisonous minerals, it is peculiarly
adapted to all who need q tonic for
their worn out systems. Ask your
druggist for Peruna, and for DIR. S.

Each Of the railroad companies

Each Of the railroad companies
the F., NJ. l. p. and the w Va. 4 Pa.
has been asserting that the other
does not intend to build road.
Nobody, however, shows more cor
fidence in either Of these roads than
its competitor. The scrambling and
shutting for the choice Of routes
by each of the companies can
hardly be explained OH any other
hypothesis than its faith in the other
being about to occupy it.
We have about settled down to the
conclusion that there will be two
roads down the Monongahela. The
contest can hardly be satisfactorily
settledon any other basis.
In the first place the b. d O. ought
to have road down this river, and
is perfectly reasonable to assume
that they mean what they say when
they declare they would build it
whether the W. Va, &i'. were intend
ing to build One or not. 1t is an i'm
.portant connecting link between their
lines East and West, without cross.
ing the MOUNTAINS. 1t gives them
an almost straight line from Pitts
sbnrglf to Cincinnati and St. Louis
1T will prevent east bound passengers
.oh their line from St. Louis and Gin
cinnati, from dropping off at Parkers-
burg and taking the Ohio River road
to Pittsburgh In fact,it is the only.
competing line they could have with
the Ohio River road. Beside it gives
the b. a 0. security against having
it's West Virginia local traffic tapped
and CARED off on some. other road.
For. these and other reasons, we say.
the B. & o. wants, and ought to have
a road down the river.
So do the projectors Of the w. Va.
Il Pa. road need line down the Mon
ongahela. 1t is the shortest route to
market for the whole northern sec
tion of the State. Pittsburgh offers
the best market for all the chief re-
sources in which this section of the
State abonnds. The counties South
ofus. desire to have this road not
only for the reasons mentioned, but
they are specially bent on having
competition. They have the deep
seated, determined purpose that sue
ceeds, and We believe they will.
Inasmueh as we are getting these
roads very cheap-as they ask moth
ing and wouldn't get anything if they
did ask it; and as our landholders, in
some instances, are asking two prices
for rights Of wayne presume we can
afford to take two roads on these
terms

If thessighs Of the times are not
exceedingly deceptive, we will haze
the liveliest time in and about Nor
gantown next Summer that we have
ever known-in a business way The
building Of one, two or three rail-
roads will shake up the dry bones.
1t will make muss!

The Richie Gazette well says: We
want the local news from all parts Of
the county, but we want it from good
natured correspondents, who will not
insist on having every line they write
published. Much matter that we
write ourselves never appears in this
paper. A country printing Office is
exposed to all sorts of yicissitudes.
Sometimes it is short Of printers, and
sometimes accidents happen, either
of.which incidents may compel re-
sort to expedients familiar to all
newspaper men. Frequently cores
pondence is delayed till it makes
printer sick to see it. The nearer
press day approaches, the greater the
crowd and the hurry, and the less
likely matter sent in, is to be pub
lishcd. unless first class news. We
know that writers frequently think
there are poorer articles in paper
than theirs, which are not published.
This may be true, and may be owing
to circumstances. The inferior ar
ticle may have been in the Office in
good time, and accepted for that rea-
son. Besides, the editor of the pa
per is the better judge Of what the
public like, and views an article with
more impartial eye than the author
of it. Remember, dear friends, if
your articles do not appear, it is not
a killing matter, and try again. But
please use little judgment at all
times, and remember that a newspa
per is not just fired off on leisure
day, by simple twist of the wrist

cast in 1880 gives the strength Of the
Democrats in the electoral college at
liz, which, with the thirty six votes
Of New York State, would make 20S, a
clear majority oil. seven.
In this enumeration the olly state
not certainly Democratic is New
York, while not included in it are
Indiana and Connecticut, which are
quite as likely to be Democratic as
Republican. Beyond this it would
be idle for the Democrats to look
They might carry all the states first
named, and Indiana and Connecticut
as well, but, losing New York, they
would be defeated. On the other
hand, if they should make New York
the battle field, and stake their hope
Of success on their ability to carry
it, they would, with unobjeclionablc
candidates, have but to retain state
already their own, and the votes of
Indiana and Connecticut could be
held in reserve to make up for any
break which might occur in some
less important quarter. The neces-
sity of the Democrats making their
campaign in New York is so plain as
to require no labored argument to
substantiate it. Without that state
they cannot win, as the figures show.
With it, defeat would be practically
out Of the question.
The pretense that Ohio can be
made Democratic State this year
is idle. Hopes based on that idea
will be shattered. The State has
never failed to vote for Republican
candidates in Presidential elections.
1t has occasionally been carried by
the Democrats in off years, but as
regularly as the quadrennial contests
have taken place it has returned to
its allegiance. New York, on the
contrary, when not overwhelmingly
Democratic, has always been close,
and since the war it has been carried
twice by Democrats in Presidential
years. Nothing but the unpopnlarity
of Mr.. Greeley with the party whose
candidate he was prevented the State
from declaring against Grantism in
1872 as vehemently as it did in 1876.
In no previous contest has the pos
session of New York been Of such
vital Importance to the Democrats as
now, for at no other election in TWEEN.
ty-five years have they had GER
tainty of enough votes elsewhere to
elect their candidates even if they
did carry that state. This year they
have that certainty.
New York is the one state which
the Democrats must make sure Of
carrying. No party ever found itself
confronted on the eve Of national
election with more simple prob
lem. By concentrating their efforts
in that direction they can settle the
question on ground of their own
choosing, and of which they will be
in possession at the opening as well
as the closing Of the campaign.-Chi-

MUELLER AND MUSIC.
sketch OF One of the Prominent Men
in the Music Trade,

The Chicago Music and Drama has of
late been giving sketches of prominent
men in the music trade. The latest IL
Is concerning j. Mueller, the well.known
music dealer here. The sketch is accom-
panied by an excellent portrait of him,
and the following facts:
We add to the list of prominent men,
this week, the face and history of one of
the worthiest dealers in the west. A
man who always worked for the welfare
of others as we'll as that of himself, and
who, by a careful industry and frugality
has built for himself in his state and vi
cinity a name and business which the
most prosperous and successful of our
American business men would covet.
Mr.. Mueller is one of lowa's pioneers,
settling in that state in 1859, at Council
Bluffs, where he still resides. For some
time Mr.. Mueller taught music success
fully, combining with this occupation an
occasional sale of a piano or nh organ,
and in 1868 adding to his duties hat of
overseeing a photograph gallery, which
he purchased and conducted for some
time. Mr.. Mueller was a successful
director and musical organizer, and at one
time had under his charge one of the best
drilled singing societies in the west, with
which he gave over one hundred success
full concerts.
In 1866, his business burned out with
a loss of something like $4,000, leaving
him penniless and over $4,000 in debt.
In the spring of 1869 he contrived togain
another start and opened a email music
store with one piano paid for and
the rest on trust. He bought his
first bill of small goods from julius
Bauer and his stock of books and sheet
music from Lyon Il Healy, settling for
both in monthly installments. Business
picked up rapidly, and our friend soon
found himself making money fast and
building up a large patronage throughout
the entire state. Occasionally he would
meet with heavy losses, and he estimates
that in 1875 he had accumulated $50, 600
worth of bad accounts. Perseverance, how
ever, pulled him through the panic, and
steadily since that time he has been gain
ing ground. He has q reputation for
keeping his word, and when he makes a
promise his customers take 1t for the
same value as they would his note. He
is admired in Council Bluffs as one of the
mainstays of the place, and in his large
establishment may be found a $4,000
stock, embracing musical merchandise,
sheet music and books, pianos and Or
gans, toys and fancy goods. He makes
the Weber and Hardmen pianos his
specialties and handles them with great
success. He is a man who has Won and
lost time and again in the battle of life,
bnt at the present time he holds a firm
grip.
