Mr.. Clements, General Manager
of the B. & o., has been appointed
by our delegation at st. Louis to
represent West Virginia, on the Ma
tional Democratic Committee. We
cannot keep silent when our friends
blnnder so terribly. A railroad of
fetal as the manager of politics is
not calculated to enthuse farmers.
Will his influence be exerted to pro-
mote his corporation or to promote
the public welfare ? Is the democ-
racy so bad off that no man can be
found whose employment is nearer
in harmony with the interests ofthe
people ? Would he be elected to
this place by the rank and file ? Is
it wise to thus defy public opinion
and appoint man who could not be
elected at the polls ? Unless we
mistake the signs of the times the
masses will presently rise in their
might and sweep away the pOliti-
clans who surrender our party to
railroad rule.
We presume railroad influence
will keep the Republicans quiet
about this blunder, AMI ofcourse the
newspapers will shout for this rail
road official, but it has weakened
confidence in the security ofthe pro-
fessions Of our party.

The National Democratic Conven-
ton on Wednesday, renominated
Grover Cleveland Of New York, for
the Presidency by reclamation, and
soon after adjourned, thus deferring
the nomination of Vice-President
till Thursday, when Allen G. Thur
man. of Ohio, was nominated. This
paper was among the first to point
out why Cleveland should be re-
nominated, and to predict that the
machine politicians would be driven
to his support While we never
had any doubt as to the first place
on the ticket, we are surprised and
greatly encouraged by the selection
Of Judge Thurman; it proves that
the machine was afraid to risk
thwsrting the popular demand for
honest government. No man in this
country is a better exponent of the
views we advocate than this truly
great statesman of Ohio, and his
name is a tower of strength. We
place before voters the two men who
of all others best command public
confidence. The platform adopted
will be printed in next issue.

New CoMBINATIoNs.-A new trust
has thrust itself to the front. The
type-founders have organized COM
bination, known as the Type-Found-
ers' Association of the United
States, to raise prices, knowing that
with duty Of 25 per cent. on type
and 20 per cent. on typemetal there
can be no fear of foreign competi-
ton. The combination has decided
to raise prices from 10 to 20 per
cent. and has so notified the trade.

Some American may regret that
there are not more restrictions upon
the liberty Of the pressin this couns
try. So long as a man Is permitted
to print Whatever he pleases, 50 long
as it is not actually defamatory, the
question what he shall print is
question for his individual sense Of
propriety; and it is to be feared
there are conductors of public jour-
mails in this country in whom this
senseis not strongly developed.-N.
Y. Times.
Some Americans regret that the
Press has come to be regarded as
machine kept for hire to those who
make money by deceiving the igpo-
rant masses, and it is to be feared
that there are conductors of public
journals who never sacrifice profit to
conviction. Fortunately, persons OF
intelligence do not judge a man by
what is said of him in the papers.

estimated the cost at 100000, and the
! waste Of 8,0O0,000 gallons OF water. lie
said he was Informed that 1t would cost
four times that amount.
The subject of steam railroads came DC
| fore the committee, and Mr.. Robinson
| from Northeast Washington stated that he
had become laughing stock for his peo-
| pie because the committee had accom-
| plished nothing as yet in the matter.
He offered a aSresolution to the effect that
the Committee on Steam Railroads be di-
rected TO prepare bill for the removal of
| the tracks of the u. and o. II. X. from

Action Taken by the Senate Upon That
Important Subject.
The Senate did not finish consideration
of the Washington Cable Railroad bill
yesterday. Senator Riddleberger en-
livened the discussion by personal attacks
on Senators German, Mcpherson, and
Morrill,, who offered amendments objec-
tionable to him. The principal amend
ment adopted was one by Mr.. Morrill,,
striking out the provision for a branch
along Sixth street from Boundary to the
river, This was carried by the following
vote of % to Is:
Yeas Messrs. Bate, Blackburn, Blodgett,
Brown, Butler, Coke, Eustis, Gibson, Cor
man, Hampton. Harris, Hearst, McPherson,

Mr.. Morrill, also succeeded in securing
an amendment excluding the new road
from the Capitol grounds.
restricting the stock and bonds to the
actual cost of construction and equip
ment.
Mr.. Eustis unsuccessfully endeavored
to have the bill recommitted and Mr..
Butler to have tax of ten per cent. OF
gross earnings imposed on all the street
railroad companies. The bill went over
as unfinished business. The discussion
at times assumed political nature and
involved many questions entirely irrele-
want to the bill

Then He Hit Him


Charles Randall was tried in the Police
Court THIS morning for assaulting Basil A.
Jackson. Both parties are colored.
Basil took the stand and told the
Judge that he had been struck. Basil
climbed up on the stand, kissed the book
with resounding smack, and after max
ing profound bow to Judge Smell told
his story. He had on two vests, by actual
count, and there might have been several
more waiting to be shed as circumstances
in the Thermometer demanded. He said
'Jedge, Yoh Honah, nebbah did any
