Our Towns Best Benefac tor
SIN bbed.

Mr. VIM. M. Clements was the
originator of the F., M. & p. rail
road.
He first proposed it to the B. & o.
company. He urged it upon their
attention through several years be-
fore he could get them to think of
it. Finally they granted Mr.. Glenn
ents the privilege of building the
road to get rid of his Importantly.
The road was Mr.. Clements pet.
We believe no other official of the
B. & O. has ever given it any special
attention or consideration before or
since it was undertaken.
On obtaining permission to build
the road Mr.. Clements began and
prosecuted it with his characteristic
energy. AS long as he was in con-
troll there was no tagging, no delays,
no disappointment. Had Mr.. Glenn
ents remained in control, there is no
question but that the road would
have been completed and regular
trains running over it before this.
And had not the work been pushed
by Mr. Clements to such an approach
to completion that the b. d o. could
not afford not to complete it, it
would have been abandoned even
after Mr.. Clements retirement.
Indeed, we not only owe the F., NJ
d p. railroad to Mr.. Clements, but
we opine that but for him Morgan
town would have been resting pass
lively in the wilderness for the next
fifty years to come.
In short, Mr.. VIM. NJ. Clements
was the best benefactor Morgantown
ever had.
But what of it?
There is this much of it: In Civ
ing names to the new streets laid
out to and from the railroad depot
we understand that the Town Coun-
Gil has determined to honor Mr..
Garrett, the President of the B. Il
o., and Col. Moore, one of its agents.
We have nothing to say against
Mr.. Garrett nor against his name.
Its a very pretty and distinguished
name; but we doubt if Mr.. Garrett
ever thought ten consecutive minutes
about the F., M. u p. railroad. We
question whether, if the matter was
mentioned, he could to-day tell
where the F., M. Il p. road is, or it's
condition.
Neither have we any objection to
Col. Moore. No more genial and
companionable gentlemen can be
found in the employ of any company.
He has done his duty and served
his company well in this connection.
But we do object to the snubbing
of the originator and protector of this
road-the man who of all others is
entitled to the credit of the enter
prise, and without whose influence
and effort we would be no nearer
having railroad to-day than we
have been at any time in the last
fifty years.
We believe in giving honor to
whom honor is due.

Brick Pomeroy, the veteran news
paper man, referring to the meagre
and grudging support given by the
Democratic party to the Democratic
press of the country, bluntly, though
truthfully says: "To the shame of
Democrats, be it said, they do not
read newspapers or support the edi-
tors and papers that are continually
studying, thinking, writing, clipping
and working for the success of the
Democratic party, as do Republicans
support their papers. Between the
Mugwump alteration of Cleveland
and the Indifference of Democrats to
the honest demands of Democratic
press, there is more than an even
chance that Republicans will carry
the country in 1888. We ask every
Democrat to ask himself if he is do
ing his duty by the Democratic
press, without which to win Demo
cratic victories is an impossibility. :"

Some Ohio Republicans boy.
Gotta Posfmaster.

YOUNGSTOWN. o.. Dec A de
termined effort is being made on the
part of least portion of the citi-
zens in West Williamsfeld, located
north of this city on the branch of
the Lake Shore road, to boycott the
postmaster, Frank johnson. In
1879, Frank Cook, Republican, was
appointed postmaster and held the
position until last August. when he
was removed and Frank johnson. a
Democrat, given the appointment.
Recently the merchants and others
concluded to wreak their vengeance
on the new postmaster and began
mailing their letters on the train.
This has finally been carried to such
an extent that but little mail is de
posted in the office, and even stamps
are purchased elsewhere. As the
salary Of the postmaster johnson
depends upon the stamps sold and
the number cancelled, it has reduced
his revenue to mere pittance. An
effort is being made by the Demo
Gratis to retaliate on the Republicans
by having the office abolished, but 1t
is harry preable they will accom-
plish it.

In Harrisburg and other towns and
cities Of Pennsylvania there is q re
vival Of the old laws against swear
ing and using obscene language on
the streets.
1t may not be generally known,
but there is a very explicit law in
West Virginia on this subject of
public swearing. It is not an easy
law to enforce. 1t might, perhaps,
be almost impossible to enforce it,
but that does not make the crime
any less, nor any less disgusting.
Have you ever noticed how preva-
lent this practice is in Morgantown?
Did you ever count the number of
oaths that emanate in fifteen min
utes from the crowds that gather
about the postofiice?
Did you ever mark the filthy,
coarse and obscene expressions that
sometimes break forth even when la
dies are in hearing?
Did you ever notice how many of
these same filthy, coarse and obscene
expressions the street urchins have
gathered up?
Did you ever consider what dis
grace this is to any town?
Did you ever consider what a dis
grace this is to Morgantown?

A POSSIBLE NAVAL DUEL.
A Russian and an English Man-Of- War
Following One Another Up the Coast.

A Russian and an English Man-Of- War
Following One Another Up the Coast.
NEW YORK, April 22.-There were num-
erous rumors afloat in shipping circles
yesterday touching the movements of the
Russian corvette Strytax and the British
sloop-of-war Garnet, both of which YES.
sells arrived at Norfolk on Monday, and
both of which are expected to arrive here
in few days. One of the rumors was
that the Garnet was coming here for the
purpose of acting as convoy to the Eng
lish mail steamers. On April the Gar
net was in the harbor of Vera Cruz, and
she arrived in the harbor of Havana on
April 10, where she found the StrylaX ly-
ing at anchor. Both vessels at once took
in coal and other supplies.
There was considerable anxiety felt
among the people in Havana, who looked
for war between England and Russia to be
declared at any moment, and some ex-
pressed the opinion that there would be a
fight between the two vessels after they
left the harbor. They both sailed from
Havana on April IA, the StrytaX leaving
about two hours behind the Garnet, and
the next heard from them was their ar
rival at Norfolk. They are pretty evenly
matched, as regards size, power and arma-
mentS.
