THAT RAILROAD UP CHEAT.
The B. L. 0. viii Take an Interest
i'm 1t.

There has been much talk in GER
tain quarters of the construction of
railroad up Cheat river. Jus.
what foundation there is for it is
difficult to tell, but there must be
some life in the project as evidenced
by the movements being made. Be
low is something in reference to it
from the last issue of the Uniontown
Standard:
The project of the new W. Va. and
Pa. r. X. from Uniontown to Rowles
burg is being doomed by the b. &
o. A mass meeting of railroad men
and citizens interested in the sue
cess of the enterprise is to be held
at Mountain Lake Park on July 20,
TO consider different projects, routes,
ETC., that have been proposed and if
possible obtain donations of money,
rights of way, and good will, and
subscriptions of stock. The large
landholders in the mountain region
are said to be becoming enthusiastic
over the prospect of railroad com
munication with the rest of the
world and it is expected they will
flock into this convention and give
the enterprise an impetus that will
carry it forward to a successful com
pletion without the many vexatious
delays incident to the building of
railroads.
Everybody financially interested
is said to have a different plan upon
which to construct the road and the
latest announced is that B. d 0. Off
rials who are stockholders are schem-
ing to obtain complete control of the
traffic which will be opened up by
getting possession of both termini
of the new road. The plan is to
connect it with the b. d o. at Evans
Station instead of with the South
west at Fairchance or Uniontown.
1t is claimed that the route from
there up Cool Spring hollow and
across to Captain Sam Browns
mountain resort, thence to Bruceton,
Brandonville and so on to Rowles-
burg, is more feasible, offering an cas-
Ter grade, than any that has yet been
suggested 1t is also believed that
it will eventually be decided to make
Oakland, the county seat of Garrett
county, the southern terminus in
stead of Rowlesburg. The distance
by this proposed route, making the
Evans Station connection, is only
about sixty miles, or shorter than
any that has yet been hit upon.
An illustration of the interest
which B. & o. officials take in the
success of the enterprise is seen in
the excursion rates they are offering
to induce large attendance at the
meeting at Mountain Lake Park.

Give 1t a Trial.

The Register opposed the introduc-
ton of CO education in the West
Virginia University on what it be-
lieved to be good and sufficient
grounds. The Regents of that in
stitution, evidently deeming the
thing worth a trial, adopted it.
Very good, let the trial be made.
Since its adoption the Register has
refrained from criticism of the plan,
content to let the practical test settle
the question, one way or the other.
And this policy we advise the State.
press to pursue. Many of our State
exchanges still continue to criticize
the action of the Regents in severe
terms, which can do no good and
may do considerable harm to the
University. Give CO education fair
trial, now that we have adopted it.
If it doesn't work the Regents will
rescind their order and the vexed
question will be settled definitely.

RountifuI Haryests.

The grass crop is almost without
precedent; the wheat crop is i'm
mense; the oats crop is splendid; and
only the corn crop remains incom-
plete, to make the most bountiful
season we have had for many years.
For several years in succession our
harvests have been bountiful. There
has been no general failure of crops !;
so that the splendid yield of this sea-
son finds the farmers in good condi-
ton, with much of the hay and grain
of the past still in store, while this
years bounty only swells the exist
ing abundance.
In any year the grass crop is the
principle consideration. If that is
abundant it makes the farmers easy
whatever else may fail. If that is a
failure it compels a resort to grain
and the more costly food, and makes
everything scarce. From early in the
fall Of the present season through the
greater part of the winter, up to the
present time the meadows have sup
piled an abundance of grass to keep
stock fat. The grain and hay that
would ordinarily be consumed has
been saved. Many other things have
been cheapened by the abundance of
grass. Butter has never been so low
in the market. Good beef cattle
have been abundant and cheap, and
these are two articles of diet that
most reduce the expense of living.
Thus far another year, at least, our
barns are full; the necessaries of life
will be cheap; business is likely to
be very active; and our great coun-
try will go on developing and invit-
ing the nations of the earth to share
its marvellous prosperity.

Cheap Labor Wan ted.

Carnegie, Phipps d Co.. Limited,
As Fifth Avenue, Pittsburg, Pa, adj
vertise for workmen at the Home
stead Steel Works. They say-"Our
former employees having refused to
accept the revised (reduced) sched-
ule of wages offered them, based on g
sliding scale, their positions are now
open to others" They offer "perma-
nent positions, steady employment
and ample protection" to all who
take the places of their old employees.
Only one year ago, Mr.. Carnegie was
among the foremost of the employers
of the land who notified their work
ingmen that only by the election of
a high tax candidate for President
could employment and wages be
maintained for labor. Under this
pressure not only Mr.. Carnegie's
men, but scores of thousands of other
workingmen, voted to continue OPP
pressive taxes upon nearly all the
leading necessaries of life because
it was called protection to American
labor; but with the triumph of their
cause and candidate came only di-
minished employment and reduced
wages. Organized labor is now di-
minished from Mr.. Carnegie's mills
and non-union labor will be protect
ed by Pinkerton's men; and oppres-
sive trusts, encouraged by excessive
tariff taxes, are closing industrial es-
adjustments nearly every week to
reduce the product, withdraw labor
from the operatives and increase tie
cost of necessary articles to con-
sumers.
How long can great party hope
to maintain power with such palpa-
BILE fraud staring every workingman
in the face? How long will the in
dustrial people of the country pay
excessive taxes to stimulate public
profigacy and Cypress consumers by
needless cost for what they must use,
cat and wear? Are the party lead
ers blind that they cannot see the
unrest that prevails and the cheat
that bred it? If they are, they will
persist in subserviency to monopo-
lies and combines until they are
hopelessly overthrow; if they can
see the coming storm, they will make
haste to enforce a severe reduction
OF taxes upon necessaries and the
complete overthrow of the giant
monopoly combines which now afflict
the country. Which will it be?
President Harrison will answer in
his message to the next Congress.

There is great deal of wheat yet in
the field, and if the rains continue much
longer it will suffer damage. Threshing

county were 1923, $1,000, that is from
realty and personally. Now couldn't
what the railroad paid in have been
expended for the lettering of the
condition of the roads with consis-
tency and in good judgment. The
truth is that because we have always
had bad roads the people think we
must Away have them. 1t takes
the same sort of stuff to make good
county roads as it does to make rail
roads and that stuff is money. We
have the money in this county and
we hope to hear Of it being used in a
manner to improve the roads. Put
your regular allowance on roads and
then add what the RAILROAD pays,
and then see if the result is not for
the permanent improvement of the
county's highways. We want better
roads in Monongalia county.

Is 1t A Success :.

an less than four months Harri-
sons administration has created
more scandals that are neither de-
MED nor palliated by any one than
were ascribed to the Federal Govern
ment during the four years of Cleve-
lands term by the most bitter oppo-
nents of the Democratic President.
"Nepotism, gross favoritism to I'M
scrupulous partisans, universal in
justice to political opponents, the
absolute subordination of public in
terests to the advantages of cliques,
the degradation of the judiciary to
factional uses and unblushing disre-
gard of Constitutional and legal re-
straints upon the disposal of public
offices, are among the most notable
of these delinquencies that make up
a record in which redeeming fea-
ture is sought in vain.
''The most regretable character in
the shameful spectacle presented to
the country, is that scandals pre-
vail, not in spite of, but because of,
the conduct of the President. 1t is
by following the example he has set
that the conduct of the departments
and bureaus has fallen to a lower
standard than was ever before reach
ed in American history. In the use
of public authority and money to
maintain relatives, in evading the
laws by premature and forbidden
partisan appointments, in first Grip
ping by criminal neglect and then
prostituting the Civil Service ma
chinery so that it might be made to
promote the very evils it was design
ed to extirpate, General Harrison
instigated the prevalent misconduct
of Federal affairs that an overwhel-
ming public sentiment already sweep
ingly condemns.
at is no pleasure to Democrats to
point out the discreditable features
of a Government in which every
true American, of whatever party,
aspires to take patriotic pride. 1t is
simply duty to expose the truth
in order that an indignant public
opinion may compel through the
fear of inoculated officials, regard
for the obligations of their positions
of which they are naturally devoid.
Let every well meaning citizen do
his part to prevent any increase of
the scandals with which the Harri-
son administration is already load
ed down." IN. Y. Star.

Roads.

The amount expended for roads
in Monongalia county for the past
year, exclusive of the road levy, was
$S41.79. This is not as great an
amount as it was the custom to lay
out for roads in this county before
the building of the F., M. d p
That railroad for the past year paid
county taxes to the amount of
S1,054.69. If that money had been
added to the $841.79 how much good
work could have been done the roads.
The roads in the county are bad and
the main reason why that is the case
is that they are seldom worked
enough because there is not a none
tary provision made for them sufli-
Gent for their needs. The reason is
not because there is not plenty Of
