The Free Library.

We second the motion for free,
circulating Library in connection
with the Public Schools of Park
ersburg.
1t is proposed by those moving
IN II the. matter to provide Library
fund by small tax of say 3 or 4
cents on the 800, the income to
oe used by the school officers in
procuring good books for the free
use OF the people A similar en-
terprlse has been highly successful
IN W heeling, and we are sure that
such tax iudiciously used in this
way, would eventually prove muc1
money saved to the people.

The Inauguration.

Preparations for the Inaugural.
ton ceremonies are being carried
forward with the determination to
make them memorable. The Bal
timore and Ohio as the only direct
line from the West into Washing
ton, has extended every facility to
the executive and other com lit
tees in so shaping matters as to
bring about omplete success in ev-
cry particular The B. & O. has
announced the lowest rates ever
made for an Inauguration, in most
instances less than half-fare for the
round trip, with a limit on the
tickets of the most satisfactory
length. By the B. & O.'s recently
put on fast train schedule, its noted
limited trains make the run thro'
to Washington from all points,
from one to six hours quicker than
any of the limited trains on other
lines. Not nickel extra is charg-
ed for the fast time, which is di-
rectly to the contrary of the rule
followed by other lines with their
limited trains, for upon them dou-
BILE fare is the only way one can
travel, and must take sleepi'g cars
through, whether wishing SO to do
or not. On the B. & O. one exer-
cises the good old American Gus
tom of going as he pleases. Trains
run through solid, no change Of
cars of any class, and pay only for
what is asked for-not cent more,
no matter what may be the custom
on other lines. All these things
are well worth considering before
starting.

More Dynamite London Greatly
Excited.

Another dastardly effort was
made last Saturday to blow up the
Parliament buildings in London.
Two terrific explosions occurred in
quick succession, greatly damaging
the foundations OF the buildings
and blowing off the roof of the
White Tower. Fifteen or twenty
visitors were more or less injured.
Intense excitement prevails in
the great city, and the police find
it difficult to keep the indignant
populace from lynching suspicious
persons arrested.

Spirit.

business in Wheeling last week,
improved the time by wheeling a
load of the peoples Amendment

ing them right into the lap of the
Legislature, and here is what fol.
lowed as the Wheeling Register
tells it, under the head OF
PETITIONS.
From Mrs. M. j. Head and los
others of Mineral county, asking
for the submission of "a prohibitory
amendment. Referred to the Ju-
dietary Committee.
From James Flanagan and &c
others of Lewis county.

ferred to the Committee on the. Ju-
dietary,
And this is how the Petitions
have been coming in from day to
day ever since the Amendment
Resolution was introduced, the
FIRST of last week.
The intellectual and moral ex-
cellence of our present Legislature
is remarked on all hands. If they
shou Id have a competitive exhibit
ton of Legislatures at the New
Orleans Worlds Fair, West Virgin
ia may be confident of her laurels.
Both Houses we've certainly for
innate in the selection OF ofiicers.
Mr.. Speaker Dennis is moot cour-
trous gentlemen, prompt, fhcient,
and genial always; and Dy-the-way,
he is outspoken in favor of sub
uniting the irrepressible question
Of the Liquor Traffic to the people
for settlement.
Col. Peyton, the prince Of clerks,
makes the business of the House 60
on swimmingly.
Mr.. President Price, of the Sen
ate, is also a most genial, ready
and efIicient presiding tflicer, and
VIII lie the writer cannot speak as
to his present views, it is hoped
he will not feel it his duty to op.
pose the prayers Of the people for
the submission of the Amend
ment.
Mr.. J D. Aldersonalso has the vim,
premptness and quick, clear voice
that an efficient clerk must always
have.

and VARIOUS nb,yo laws that are
being shoveled into the Legisla-
tive Mill, there is no time to speak
in detail A large number of very
important measures are having
care full coneide, alton, and it may
be safely asserted that the country
is safe in this body's hands.
Above all things else, let the
Honorable Members not neglect nor
treat lightly the prayer of the peo
pie who preferred and honored
them.
