The heaviest work will be on the Peters

The heaviest work will be on the Peters
run road, where it ia estimated 10, 900
cubic yards of fill will be required, cost
ing. for this alone, s., 500. Two thous.
and six hundred yards Of rip-rsp will also
he required on this road. On the Middle
Wheeling creek road, big gil of 1850
yards will also be required There is a
fill of 1000 yards OH the north fork Of
Short creek, and one of 1000 yards on the
south fork. On the main stem of Short
creek there must be fill Of 1000 cnbic
yards at Trimble's. There are many fills
almost as heavy as these. There are
eleven large woodea bridges gone, in the
county, and many more smaller ones.
The Board went over the estimates in
detail, aud they being approved, the Eu-
giLeer vas inst ucted to advertise for bids
for the performance of the work contem-
plated in his report, such advertisements
to run ten days.
A considerable amount of miscellaneous
business of a routine nature was trans
acted, the Board not adjourning until 5
o'clock last evening.
Some of the roads in the interior OF the
county are in frightful condition, and il
will take years, in some instances, before
they are restored to their original condi-
ton. The farming community IL put TO
great inconvenience, in number of in
stances, in order to get produce TO market,
and in some cases temporary roads
have been made through the fields in order
that horses can get along. The repair
of this damage will afford work for large

tributed will afford much relief 10 many

The REGISTER called attention the othel
day to the manner in which the Iatetigen
Ger was endeavoring to side-track OH
friends Captain Dovener and Attorney At
kinson.
With its customary gall the Intelligence
attempted to deny the soft impeachment
and little later Mr.. Atkinson, with thai
chilG-like confidence which is his chic
characteristic, smilipgly told q reporter, IL
substance, that he didn't think the
Iateliigeneer would do anything OF thai

oripg to stir up strife.
Time passed on, and yesterday the Re
publican organ attached another drae
chain to the vehicle in which Obi county''
rival candidates have embarked theil
fortunes, by going into facts and figures
calculated to show that Golf was the only
man who could save the district to tn,
monopolists, and that both Dovener anG
Atkinson ought to be turned down.
Of course, this was pleasant reading TO
the friends of these gentlemen, as the frs
effort in the same line had been, and there
were good many mutteripgs directed, dur

IT'S GENUINE SMALLPOX.
DIR. Garrison, Of the State Board Of Health
Goes to Sistersyiile

DIR. Garrison, of the State Board Of Health,
Goes to sistersViile.
Dr. Geo. |: Garrison, of the State Board
of Health, went down to Sistersville, yes
terday, in response to q telegram from DIR.
Gillespie, regarding The case Of smallpox,
existing at that point, mention Of which
has been made in the REGISTER heretofore.
The Doctor found the case was located on
the Ohio side Of the river, at place called
Stringtown, TO which ferry runs from
Sistersville. The case is in a family
named Gain, the patient being four
year.old daughter. The disease was con-
tracted some place west Of Columbus,
where the family were visiting, and thsie
is no doubt but that the disease is small
pox of the worst type, The physician
first called in TO attend the Gaze ridiculed
the suggestion that it was smallpox, and
diagnosed it as blackberry rash," saying
it would amount to nothing He is said
to have taken number of people into the
house, to look at the case, and bear out
his assertion, and az a consequence, there
is an excellent prospect for further out
break of the disease among the people of
the neighborhood. Finally some of the
physicians of the West Virginia side of
the river were brought over to look at the
case, and then the true character Of the
malady became known.
DR.. Gillispie, health officer of Tyler
county, yesterday made every arrangement
for proper quarantineof the Tyler county
p ople, and DR.: Garrison telgraphed the
President of the Ohio Board OF Health, adj
visipg him of the outbreak, and suggest
log that his Board combine with the local
Board Of Tyler county in seeing that
quarantine measures were carried out. IL
is hardly probable, however, in view Of
the fact that 90 many people were per-
rnitted to 90 to the house, between last
Friday, when the rash first appeared. and
Monday, that the disease will be confined
to the one case now under treatment.
A good many people in Sistersyille, as
we'll SIS Oh the Ohio side of the river, have
been vaccinsted, aud this preventative
measure will be kept up until all thought
to be in danger Of contracting the disease
have been attended to.

1t is no use TO raise the cry of British

case the salt business is not legitimate

Get out of it.
You admit that, Mr.. Donnally, when
you say you have been driven from the st.
Louie market by the Michigan salt. Pray
Mr.. Donnally. will you please tell how you
are to be protected by the tariff as against
our OVID people? Michigan il part and

An Example of the Sort Of Thing the "In-

Half the town was smiling yesterday
over the publication of the following 'tsle-

of yesterday morning, under the head Of

GERS Pittsburg Republican exchanges, each
one of which had q considerable amount of
space, filled on Monday morning, with an
amplifcstion of the flop alleged to have
taken place IN the condensation given

entire thing, which is fair sample of the

appearing simultaneously with the original

devoted considerable space to the an

clared in favor of Harrison and Morton,
and would support the Republican ticket.

The Hatedigener's remarks sbout the re
duetion of the tariff on fiaxseed were
not noticsd~ih yesterdays REGIsrER on
aeco1szifo Of the difficulty in finding any
gentleman informed on the subject who de-
sired to talk A reporter of the REGISTER
called on prominent dealer in paints aud
oils yesterday, and questioned him as to
just what effect the proposed reduction
would have. Said he:
"To the consumer the effect viii be
nothing but beneficial, and the consumer
is the one the Democratic party proposes
10 benefit without, at the same time, in
juring the manufacturer more than to
slightly cut down his profits. Now in this
case let me illustrate what say is true.
As everyone acquainted with the business,
of course, knows hnseed oil is made from
aaxseed, and to make one gallon Of oil
about one and one-half bushels of hsxseed
is required. Nearly all the linseed oil
used m this country is manufactured in il,
but we do not begin to raise enough fax
seed to meet the demand for oil. To make
a good quality OF paint five gallons of liu-
seed oil is used TO one hundred pounds of
white lead. The price for linseed oil by
the barrel Is fifty cents per gallon, al
though the market is constantly fiuctuat-
ing. Now, the Democrats propose to re-
duee the tax on flaxseed from SO tn % per
cent, q reduction of over one-halE This
leaves us % per cent. protection, which is
amply sufficient.
again, the use of paint, as we all
know, enters largely into the cost Of build
ing houses and identifying them, there
fore, the reduction in the tax goes directly
into the pockets of the consumer by giving
him cheaper paint, without in any way
interfering with the industry except to
reduce the big profits Of the manufacturer.
The manufacture of linseed oil in this
country is in the hands Of few men and
they have formed q combination to keep
the price of this necessary article mp to
the highest possible notch, and they
are succeeding. The consumer Il
own paying the manufacturer this differ
ence of % per cent, which goes down into
his pocket. Now, the Democrats propose,
in accordance with their policy of revising
the tariff in spirit of fairness to all inter
ests, and in order to restore the 500, 600,
600 surplus to the pockets of the people,
to cut down the profits of the mauufactur
er without iDjuring the industry and gave
the consumer the benefit of the % pei
cent, leaving the manufacturer fair mar
gin to work on. As will be seen, this Ii
directly in line with the other proposed re-
auctions, and the statement cannot be
fairly and squarely controyerted.

Ahnnt AnYiIs, Saws. Etc.

'I was amused" said q very intelli.
gent mechanic and Republican, too, "at
the IatelIigeaeer's hash-up of its exploded
high tax arguments, yesterday morning,
The interview with Mr.. Jacob Snyder was
particularly unfortunate. l don't know
whether Mr.. Snyder really believes that
taking the tax off of anyils, bellows and
like implements would not cheaper them
TO the consumer, orithe words were put In
an unwilling mouth by an enterprising re-
porter.
One thing, however: The InteiH-
qeReer says that the prices on these arti-
cl.s were 100 per cent. higher few years
ago than now. We had the blessed pro-
tective tariff that didn't protect any one
but a few monopolists then ~ we have
now. 1t enabled the manufacturers to
take that 100 per cent. of of the people,
unearned, and that tariff now enables
them to charge it again, whenever q trust
or combination is formed that may so de-
sire
Neither is the mere fact that the prices
of anvils, bellows, saws, etc, are lower
now than a few years ago, proof that
these articles will net be made any cheaper
by q reduction of the tariff duty. In
fact, as every person must know, that is
the reason while all these bowls go up. II
the protected moDopolists didn't know
hat their unjust profits would be cut
down, and the people enabled to buy their
goods cheaper by reduction Of the tariff,
as proposed by the Democrats, the Lntelh-
qeneer and other organs like it would not
oe Indulging in all these means.
''0f course they soy that the msnufac'
turer needs this tax to protect his indus
try. 1t is nothing of the kind. Twenty
years ago, when the cost of manufacturing
such goods was twice as great as is now,
the present rate of duty was amply sufi'
cient for all purposes OF protection. Now,
when the cost of production has been re-
duced ore-half, the tariff tax should come
down in like proportion, and the manu-
faeturer will still have the same degree OF
protection. That, as / understand it, is
Democratic doctrine, and it is sound.
"Mr. Snyder ought to know that the
duty of 2 cents pound on snyils just
cuts of foreign competition to that extent,
and makes his anvils cost him 2 cents a
pound more. That cents q pound must
he paid by him sad his customers. It goes
into the pocket of the manufacturer, who
does not need half of it to protec. his in
dustry, and to him is just 30 much got for
nothing. That's the long and short ofit. "
