If the School Commissioners think
we are going to stop the racket
about a Town Hall, they are mis-
taken.
We mean business.
Our people want Town Hall and
the School Board has it in it's power
to give us one that will be a great
benefit both to the schools and to the
public.
1t must not be expected, therefore,
that we will cease to press this prop
csition upon the Board until they
show themselves to be either for or
against-until they either provide
the hall or furnish the public a
valid excuse for declining to do SO.
Now, we have an additional sug-
gestion to those already made in this
behalf, to-wit:
The rink, as a resort, seems to
have petered out. Its occupation is
gone. The building is there, but in
it's present shape is of little or no
use except for rink. Probably the
lumber could be bought cheaply-at
a good deal less than new lumber,
while it is quite as good as new.
Now, let the School Board buy the
rink, haul it to the Academy grounds
and build public hall out of it. II
the Board will not, let them author
ize somebody else to do SO.
A fine large hall could thus be
erected at a cost from $500 to $500,
and nobody hurt.
Will the School Board wake up?

Pittsburg Commerciai-Cszetse.
Hon. Lewis Baker, for many years
proprietor Of the Wheeling Register,
but now at the head of the st. Paul
Globe, stopped last night at the I'm
ion depot on his way to New York.
His paper is going to erect new
building, and he is going East for
pointers on the big newspaper Of
fees there. Mr.. Baker is the men,
Der of the National Democratic Com
mittee from West Virginia and has
been very prominently identified
with State and National politics for
twenty five years. Speaking of the
estimate of the party Of President
Cleveland's Administration he said:
II think the President is better, much
better than his party. / think he is
entirely honest and sincere in his
actions. If he keeps on in the course
he has marked out he will compel
the party to renominate him in 1888,
or to place it in dubious position.
Both in the interviews l have had
with him and in correspondence l
have exhorted him to adhere to his
course and not to let the horde of
office seekers influence him. 1t is
true that some Democrats think he
has not made the proper haste in
making removals, but be has done
well, and to tell the truth i like to
see them have to wait. The cry
against the President does not come
from the better element of the party,
and he can ignore a great many of
the howls. He is firm and solid
when he takes a stand"
"Who will succeed Senator Cam
den in West Virginia."
"If Senator Camdcn's health is
such as to allow his making the run,
he will be his own successor. He is
a wide awake, unassuming business
man, and has great influence with
other Senators. 1t will be hard to
find in the State, in his party, a
man who will fill the position like
he has done it. / think the Repub-
licans if prepared in time, stand a
very good show of electing Legis-
lature. They have good necleus
in the Senate, and it would not be
hard to elect many members, as the
various legislative districts are
much closer than they formerly
were"

Perilous Times.

The citizen VINO can consider the
relations of Capital and Labor as ex-
hibited in the strikes which are now
occurring all through the land with
out seriousness approaching to awe is
himself dangerous sign of the times.
The country in 1877 trembled upon
the verge of anarchy. In Chicago,
Pittsburg, st. Louis, Cincinnati and
other great Western ccnters of trade
and population a spark might have
ignited moral dynamite enough to
shake the nation.
Since that time the passions that
produced those results have taken
form, have become doctrines; and
cool determination and calculating
recklessness of consequences charac-
terize the situation; while in every
city there is definite number of
wild beasts in the guise of men who
would rejoice in universal havoc and
ruin.
In Brooklyn and New York, dur
ing the past week, that terrible
scenes did not occur was an accident,
and was not due to preparation for
them; for the riot was the result of
causes which might in one moment
have let loose resistless forces.
Mobs, riots, network Of strikes that
run through country, with both
sides determined, could at any time
reach a tension which would necessi-
tate an explosion. The force of no
explosion can be measured unless,
like that which blew up the rocks at
He'll Gate, it is pre-arranged by one
controlling mind and consists entire
ly of mechanical and chemical ele-
ments. Hence, such conditions, if
they become the habit of the popu-
lar mind, will invade and disinte-
CRATE the militia, thus compelling
what is equivalent to standing
army.
When that exists the doom of the
Republic as such will have come
We regard the elements at work
in the United States to-day as more
fraught with peril to our institutions
than all the merely political and per-
sonal discussions, conflicts and agi-
tations which eliminated in the late
war. For that divided the country
into two general contending factions,
Of which those desiring the mainten-
ance of the Union were the more nu-
merous, more fortunately situated,
and the stronger But these pro-
ceedings, unchecked, must surely, in
the end, compel radical change in
the methods of preserving order; and
when that change has occurred, and
the military spirit shall have crys-
talized, whether the mind that con-
trolls it be called Governor, Presi-
dent, King, Caesar, or Gar matters
not. As yet, who sees any light on
the horizon? What practicable
method promising better relation ia
suggested?
We are not frightened, for that is
not our besetting sin; but in the dark
est hours of the Civil War we never
felt more sober than to-day, as we
contemplate the future of what our
gifted country-woman, Mrs. Kemble
calls "this great new world of Chris
tian liberty" Christian ADVOCATE.

The Boomness Of she Boom.

Im4 DOOmmess OF ne DOOmns
A few Of our cnterprising fellow
citizens are good deal disturbed
and disappointed because the first
train over our new railroad did not
bring a number Of manufactures in
full blast. few thousand immi-
grants and several hundred houses
ready made, together with numerous
other additions and appliances of a
large and fourishing city.
We have had very high expecta-
tions ourselves, based upon the
probabilities of railroad, but we
confess that they we're not so top
leftical" as indicated. 1t may be
that we have not cultivated our i'm
agination as much as some others,
and are little too matter OF fact,
but really, we have been unable, even

pulse was most rampant and reck
less, to conceive how it was possible
for full grown city to get aboard
the first train
We recall to mind the fact that
the F., M. Il p. railroad is not the
only railroad in these United States
OF America, and that Morgantown is
not the only town ON this broad con-
tinent that is located on railroad.
There are several communities scat
tered through the Western States
quite as large as Morgantown that
i,ve railroad facilities-such, for
example, as Chicago, st. Louis, San
Francisco ct al-and there are an
cqun. number, quite as formidable,
seattle I'd through the East; and it
WAS only natural to assume that
these places would be competitors
with .Morgantown for portion of
tn population of the earth by rea-
So OF railroad facilities quite as
good as those afforded by the F., NJ.
d Z. Indeed it is stated for fact
tia, some Of these railroads running
into Chicago, New York, Boston, &c,
masc better time than is made on
the f., M. Il p
The fact is we think it very fortu-
l,.tc for our town that the expecta-
tstious of some enterprising and
Imaginative citizens have not been
realized.
But Morgantown will have it's day
yet.
We are not of that number who
regard the benefits of our railroad
as exhausted. We even entertain
hope that it has not yet reached the
maximum of it's usefulness. We ex-
pect to live to see the day when
trains will cover the distance be-
tween Fairmont and Morgantown in
less than two and one-half hours;
when there will be more than one
train per day; and indeed when the
f., NJ d p. will be one of the great
thoroughfares between the East and
West. carrying hundreds of passen-
gers and hundreds of tons of freight
through our town every day.
Neither are we discouraged at the
growth of our town. He who cannot
already perceive about him an i'm
proved business spirit and enlarged
business opportunities and prospects
as the result of railroad facilities,
would not appreciate any argument
that could be made along this line.
There will not be day in the next
decadH of the history of Morgantown
when the intelligent observer will
not see evidence of some new acqui
sitiOn to our town and catch hint
of new things to come.
Listen and you may hear the dis
tant rumble of the car of progress
coming slowly but surely.

The latest reports from the strike
on the Texas Pacific and Missouri
Pacific lines furnish ground for the
hope that the suspension is nearing
an end. 1t is time it was ended, as
for more than two weeks the bust
ness of half dozen States and Ter
ritories has suffered as complete a
paralysis as the entire suspension of
all freight shipments could effect.
Passenger and mail trains only have
been allowed to make regular trips,
the strikers, by various expedients,
from disabling engines to burning
bridges, having managed to make
the freight blockade complete.
This complete business paralysis
has had the effect to call out express
sions of disapproval from the citi
zens and business men of large
number of the towns affected by the
strike Usually the public sympa-
thy is entirely en- the side of the
strikers. but in this instance it is
very decidedly against them. In
every instance but one where public
meetings have been held the resolu-
tions adopted have been condemna-
tory of the strikers action. In the
single instance noted as an excep-
ton the strikers themselves attend
ed the meeting and prevented the
adoption of condemnatory resolu-
tions, but the business men ilnmed-
lately after adjournment affixed
their names to series of such reso-
lutions.
The causes of this general public
condemnation Of the strike are very
apparent 1t was not a strike for
better wages or shorter hours, but
an attempt to secure the reinstate-
ment of discharged employee. The
receiver of the Texas Pacific Road
claimed that the discharge was made
for inefficiency. The Knights as
sumed the man had been discharged
for belonging to their order ard
struck, afterwards compelling a
strike on the Missouri Pacific lines
in order to bring the Texas Pacific
to terms. The business public very
properly objected to being made the
chief sufferer from quarrel in which
it had no concern and for which it
was not responsible. Ten thousand
men we're also compelled to lose two
weeks wages or more, which they
can never regain, and which nobody
will ever pay them, in order that one
man might be reinstated who, for all
that has yet been shown, probably
deserved discharge.
The Knights of Labor have the
sympathy and goodwill of the pub
lie in all proper endeavors to secure
better wages and shorter hours of
labor. But when they persist in
hanging up the business of hundreds
of thousands of people who have
done them no injury and against
whom they have not shadow
of grievance in order that very
doubtful wrong against one man
may be righted, they become the in
struments of tyranny worse than
any which their organization was de-
signed to oppose. Level-headed men
like Powderly and Arthur should be
able to see this and strive to save
their organizations from the odium
which such ill-considered measures
are sure TO bring upon it.-Phtladel-
