The Augean Stables.

In the herculean task of cleaning
the "Augean Stables it is safe to
say that Mr.. Cleveland will proceed
with great care and deliberation, and
honestly endeavor to discriminate
between the good and the bad, the
clean and the unclean the offensive
partisan and the faithful public ser
want. Those who expect a whole
sale pitching out, Immediately after
the 18th of March, will be mistaken.
Mr.. Cleveland will strive to bind the
Independent element permanently to
the Democratic ranks by pursuing a
liberal and conciliatory course. In
carrying out these views he will nat
urally meet with strong opposition
from those who are in haste to share
the loaves and fishes, but he has dem
onstrated his ability to resist mere
partisan appeals. His ayowed pur-
pose is to have a clean, economical
administration, and to be governed
in his appointments by fitness, rather
than by persistent importantly or
self-solicited recommendation on
behalf of candidates for appointment
His earnest effort to surround him
self by the wisest, most conservative
| and statesman-like men of his party,
and the hearty good will of the coun-
try will aid him materially in hold
ing steadily to the line of action that
| he has laid down for himself A feel
| inc of confidence in the wisdom, hon
esty Of purpose, and ability of the
President elect has been rapidly in
creasing in the minds of those who
have had an opportunity of taking
the measure of his capacity, and a
disposition to patiently await devel-
opments is manifesting itself in the
public mind. To applicants for of
fee we would therefore say, bide
your time, and if fonnd worthy you
will get your reward.-Statesmdn.

THE SUNNY SOUTH.
DIR. Norris Observations i'm the
Southland.

CHARLESTON, S. G. Feb. 49,
thought the readers Of the New Do
MINIoN would like to hear something
from this section of the South We
arrived here two days ago and go to
Savannah, Georgia to morrow, and
remain a few days before going to
Jacksonville Florida. There we will
stop for q time.
We stopped in Richmond long
enough to visit all the places of in
terest, including Libby Prison, Gen.
Washington and Gen. Lees head
quarters, the Capitol and other places
The hotels in Richmond are well
kept and every one you meet seems
anxious to talk and tell you about
war times; but say they do not want
any more war in theirs.
From Richmond we went to Will
mington, N. G. on the Atlantic coast,
a city Of about 10000 Inhabitants
half of them colored. We were not
favorably impressed with the place.
Wilmington is a historic place-be
ing the location of Fort Sumpter and
Fort Moultrie and the place where
the first gun was fired in thc rebel
lion. We visited those places to-day
and were much interested. We also
visited the Magnolia Cemetery. 1t
is one of the most picturesque places
I have ever seen. l may say it is
just grand. The live oaks, palmetto,
and all kinds of pines, all covered
with spanish moss which Grapes all
the trees and hangs six or eight feet.
You cant imagine how nice it is. l
have an elastic imagination, but l
could conceive of nothing so grand.
The weather here they say is the
coolest of the season The thermom-
eter this afternoon stood at 40. They
have had two frosts, on Monday and
Tuesday nights. They have had
no snow since 1S65-then only an
inch or two that melted in a few
hours. The oats are 3 or 4 inches
high. Lettuce, cabbage and all other
kinds Of vegetables are in market
right fresh from the fields. Straw
berries are almost ripe. visited the
market to day. 1t was great curl
osity to me. All the vegetable de-
partments we're presided over by col
ored women. 1t is very amusing to
hear them talk the southern brogue
and to see how jolly they are and
how pleased to see strangers from
the North. The market swarms with
scavengers or buzzards that congre-
gate there to get the refuse. They
come by the hundred and are not
afraid as the law protects them.
The country we pass through from
Washington to this place is very
poor, or am no judge of good land.
just think Of 700 or 500 miles of
solid pine, sand and swamps-and
not goose pine at that The houses,
people and stock all look poor, and
it is said they do not deceive their
looks. ] enclose you some Spanish
moss. GEO. 3. MORRIS.

Let the Town Council at least show
that they can appreciate a good
thing when they see it.
Let them come together and APP
point committee to inquire into
and estimate the cost of piping the
water from the Decker's creek well,
and of boring new well above
town.
Let us have the data for a spe-
cific proposition to our people If
they know the cost they viii quickly
let their will be known in regard to
the water works.
This estimate can be easily and
accurately made by men who take
such contracts in the cities. Ask a
Pittsburgh contractor what he will
put down the pipes for, and we will
know in forty-eight hours the cost
of the work within a few dollars.
In our opinion there is no need of
a reservoir. If we strike a stream
of the force of that in the Decker $
creek well, it would give us more
pressure than any reservoir we
could build, even if it were set on
top of the hill.
The boring and piping are the
two items of cost, and we ought to
know the amount officially, SO to
speak.
When the amount is ascertained
there will be an hundred men ready
to take the towns bonds for any
amount that is necessary to com
plete this work.
If the Town Council has any
business in it, let it show up.

EoR previous Inauguration balls,
tickets could only be had in Wash
ington, and the great rush for them,
Of the thousands of visitors on ar
rival, created confusion and consum-
ed much time. Now all who visit
Washington can secure their ball
tickets without waiting until their ar.
rival there, while the many who de-
sire them for souvenirs may readily
procure them at the B. Il O. offices,
either by personal application or

The Legislature has passed joint
resolution requesting our Represen-
tatives and instructing our Senators
in Congress to vote in favor of the
passage of the Blair educational bill.
The quite too common habit of State
Legislatures instructing their Ma
tional Senators how to vote ON pend
ing legislation ought to cease.
If Senator don't know enough to
know how to vote intelligently on a
measure, request his resignation,
and send another in his place. 1t
has happened in the history of West
Virginia Legislatures, and during a
recent period that a resolution was
adopted instructing the Senators and
requesting the Representatives to
vote in certain manner on bill,
and in less than ten days another
resolution was adopted recalling the
first one. As a general proposition
it is not only offensive but imperti-
nent for State Legislature to med
die itself about National Legislation.
The delegation in Congress from
this State is fairly competent to I'M
derstandingly, and for the best in
terests of the people, vote on any
question that might come up, and
the Legislature can do no better for
itself than to attend strictly to it's
own business.
The Blair Bill may be good one,
deserving of the support of every
one. We cannot say from our i'm
perfect knowledge of it's provisions,
but the spectacle Of a West Virginia
Legislature attempting to instruct
the National Congress how to exer-
else its great prerogatives, is a spec
tacle very closely akin to the SUI
premely ridiculous. So far the
Legislature has shown itself une-
quail to.the task OF intelligent legis-
lation Tor the interest Of the State.

Poetry for March, Fourth.

John McSweeney, Of Wooster, Ohio,
in his Sth Of January speech, speak
in of the length of time which the
Republican party had been sucking
at the public teat, in the following
manner paraphrased the good old
Methodist hymn:
when we've been there ten thousand years,
And sucked from sun to sun,
'Tis just as hard to quit the teat,
As when we first begun"

There is no better friend nor great
er help to the teacher than a good
newspaper Every teacher should
give personal attention to the kind
of reading in which his pupils in
dulge. 1t will be found that many
of them read kind of literature
whose effect upon their minds and
hearts is the reverse of everything
good. No better antidote can be
found for this intellectual and moral
poison than good, pure heightened
newspaper, and realizing this fact
the teachers first effort should be to
have such newspaper in every home
in his district. Besides it is an es-
tablished fact that those pupils who
read newspapers make better pro-
gress especially in reading and Ian
ruage than the others. The live
teacher will make use Of every help
and every influence to make his mis-
sion among the youth with whom he
labors, successful in the highest de-
gree.-Schoog journal.

STOPPING moment to consider
what must be the inevitable result
in depots where will be massed the

strong must be the argument in
favor of the B. & O., which has it's

and no trains but its own coming in
or going out.

The Martinsburg Independent, in
commenting upon the co-education
proposition, says: To this PROPOSE
ton many persons except and re-
Ject, basing the objection upon
moral grounds. We have no settled
conviction upon the question, but SO
far as the moral argument is con-
cerned there is no more improperly,
and probably not as much, in recit-
ing in the same class, eating at the
same table, than there is in attend
ing camp meeting or a lycepm
without the presence of the parents
or guardian. The following inqui-
ries are pertinent to the question,
VIZ. Would you prevent them from
attending the public schools, from
being lawyers, physicians, ministers,
teachers, telegraph operators, clerks,
holders of property, taxpayers, and
under the law, sole managers of
their separate estates? Of course
the men who want wives, don't usu-
ally look among the protesting
strong minded ones. Oh, no! they
find them among the modest, gentle
unassuming, loving, loveable class
of women, who make the homes and
happiness, and leave the making Of
the living to the tough muscles and
trained head of the man they honor
in calling him husband. But the
way for co-education ought not to be
barred?

The River and Harbor Bill is in

A contemporary advises Editor
Hart, the next time he tackles Sam

it seems to us it might be well to
ask modest Samuel whether he
thinks Editor Hart was loaded.
