The vote in this county for Prof
B. S. Morgan for State Superintend-
ent of Free Schools was a well merit
ed compliment to an efficient officer.
Especially is this true when it is
considered that special effort was
made in certain places to prevent his
running ahead Of his ticket. To
the teachers of the county and their
influence, Mr.. Morgan's large vote
was mainly due. With scarcely an
exception the teachers, who have
been teaching under his supervision,
voted for him on Tuesday and many
of them worked at the polls all day
in his interest. With them it was
not matter Of politics, but solely
one of fitness for the position and a
desire to honor man to whom the
profession of teaching in Monongalia
is greatly indebted Neither Mr..
Morgan nor his friends claim his
success as political victory in any
respect. It was simply a sponta-
neous tribute to an eminent educator
and competent school worker.

The Towns Liability for its
Dangerous Sidewalks.

The dilapidated and dangerous con-
dition of some of the sidewalks of
Morgantown, has become subject
of considerable comment and discus
sion.
1t is not disputed-it is admitted
by all-that there are portions of the
walks, especially the board walks,
that are not only unfit for use, but
are in such condition as to endan-
ger the life and limb of the pedes-
trian.
The only matter about which there
seems to be any hesitation or dispute
in this connection is as to who is res
ponsible for a continuance of this
state of things.
We do not propose to discuss the
question as to the power of the town
authorities in the premises, or as to
how payment for the necessary i'm
provements to our walks shall be pro-
vided for; but whoever or however
these questions may he disposed of
there can be only one opinion and
one decision upon the question of
the liability of the town for any in
juries that may result to individuals
by reason of these neglected improve
ments and repairs in the walks.
The law upon this subject is laid
down by the Supreme Court Of West
Virginia in unmistakable terms, fix
ing the liability Of the town for all
damages accruing from neglect Of

this kind. In the case of Wilson VS..
City of Wheeling reported in 10Th
West Virginia, the court said:
ut is a principle of nearly univer-
sal acceptation in this country, that
when city or town is Incorporated
and is given control over the streets
and walks within its corporate limits.
and is empowered to provide the
means-to make ndrepair them, the
corporation not only assumes this
duty but by implication agrees to
perform it for the benefit and protec-
tion of all who may have occasion to
make use of these public easements;
and that for failure in the discharge
of this duty the corporation is res
ponsible to the party injured
The same doctrine is laid down in
equally explicit terms in the case Of
Curry vs.. the town of Warrington, re-
ported in 23d West Virginia.
We say that there can be no ques-
ton about the liability of the town
for any damages that may result to
the individual by these dilapidated
walks, no matter what the towns re-
sources, may be for putting these
walks in order, or what the opinion
Of the town council may be as to the
propriety of doing the work or allow
ing it to remain undone.
The policy of neglect and indif-
erence may prove a very costly one
to the town before the close of the
current year. Every days neglect
and postponement Of these repairs
incurs a risk that may subject the
town to more damages in a single
case than it would cost to put new
walks on every street of the town.

Protectionists Against Blaine.

We presume to say that the State
Of Pennsylvania produces as pure
and trustworthy an article of pro-
tectionist as can be found in the
American market, and we venture
to think that of Pennsylvania pro-
tectionists there is no more candid
or more able representative than
Mr.. Henry Carey Lea. Mr.. Lea
is the president of a political club
in Pennsylvania which is taking an
active part in the Presidential cam
paign against the election of Mr..
Blaine. In recent address, signed
by the president by the order of
the club, the real issue is repre-
sented to be whether the United
States shall be disgraced by the
election of a man of Mr.. Blaine's
bad public reputation. And to
those who, like Mr.. Blaine himself,
would divert attention from this
issue by assertions that protective
tariff is in danger the address re-
plies:
with respect to the tariff, we
in no aoay recognise that protection is
at stake in the present can0ass in the
sense a0lieA the Republican managers
asould haze as dfkie0v. The utter
ances of both parties in their re-
spective platforms are SO nearly
identical that there can be no def
mite contention between them.
Besides, the power of the Execu-
tive to determine the revenue leg
islation of the country is too remote
to render this controlling factor
in Presidential canvass. The de-
cision rests with Congress, and the
intelligent voter can have no diff
Guilty in separating his Congress
sional from his Electoral ticket,
and in thus satisfying his convic-
tons in both directions. Many of
the members Of this association ae
Y/OW0HVIeN WveeCStOUSStS, WHOSC III
terests are largely dependent, as
they believe, on the continued pros
perity Of the manufactures fostered
by the tariff and they can recognize
no danger to these interests from
the success of the candidate of a
party which at the last session of
Congress only showed in its efforts
at tariff revision its own hopeless
division on the subject, and was
forced at Chicago to adopt an ex-
preston of policy SO nearly akin to
that Of its rival"
Put these statements against Mr..
Blaine's. The latter fall to the
ground. Mr.. Lea and his fellow
protectionists know what they are
talking about. They have direct
pecuniary interest in maintaining a
protective tariff. They are not
afraid that those interests be hurt
by the election Of Mr.. Cleveland !;
they do not believe they will be

The Republicans are going into

ocrats had in the October battle. OF
course that is an impossibility, but

Somebody asks if it would have
been possible for Democrat to live
in Morgantown if the State had gone
Republican? Well, that would be a
question-provided he was a Demo
crat of any strong convictions. The
Republican majority in this town
and county are about as intolerant
and domineering as in any spot of
the United States. They seem to
think it the prime mission of the
majority party to Cypress, harrass
and degrade the minority. Why
cannot there be some charity between
men of opposite political convictions?
Cannot both be honest? Have they
not right to differ? Is this not
free country?

TRANSFERRED.
The Hippodrome to go to the
Empire State.

New York, Oct. Io.-The Re
publican hippodrome will be trans
ferred Immediately from Ohio to
this State and Republican speakers
and money poured in from every
quarter. The Democrats will meet
them at every point, and the cam
paign will be a rouser.
Senator German. who is really
the manager of. the Democratic
forces, said to your correspondent
to-day: "You will remember that
/ never claimed Ohio. On the con-
trary, / have said frankly and re-
peatedly that we did not hope to
carry it, and should not make a
serious fight for it. The local
Democrats have done much better
out there than / hoped when l saw
the concentration Of the Republi-
cans from all points.
VICTORY.
"Your equation of victory has
never included Ohio1" / suggested.
Certainly not. We have never
considered it in our probabilities
even. We agreed early in the
campaign that we could carry New
York, Indiana, New Jersey and
the South, with probably Connect
icut, and we have conce ntrated our
efforts on these States. We have
concentrated on the first three
States, and have never been divert
ed one hour from these battle
grounds. We felt confident that
the south would take care of itself.
The vote in West Virginia, where
the Republicans slyly, thought
they had fixed up a surprise for us,
shows that we were not mistaken
in the Southern States. We are
equally confident of New York,
Indiana and New Jersey"
PERFECTLY SURE.
"You are sure of New York;"
Perfectly. Governor Cleveland
cannot be beaten in New York.
We have the silent vote. In every
great store or factory in this city
we have lists of Republicans who
will not vote for Blaine. They say
nothing about it, and do not ap-
pear on the surface. They will GO
to the polls on election day, how
ever. l have the best of evidence
for saying that Governor Cleveland
will come into New York city with
a clear majority, and no one doubts
but that he will carry the city by
from twenty to forty thousand ma
jority. The Republican hope is to
overcome outside what majority he
will receive in the city,
GoRMAN.
Senator German further remark
ed that when the Blaine managers
tried to run over New York as
they did over Ohio, they would
find themselves met with perfect
organization and full resources.
Advices from Indiana assure the
committee that it need give little
attention to that State. Gov Hen
bricks is entirely confident that it
can be relied on safely.
The assertion that Mr.. Tilden
takes no interest in Governor
Cleveland's election is entirely false,
as | have the highest authority for
saying. He is earnestly interested
in the campaign, as will become
apparent very shortly. The Dem
ocratic committee has wasted none
of its resources on Ohio.
