This is lucky town.
Within the past three years over
a half million of dollars has been ex-
pended by outside parties in improv
ing it.
Before the close of the present
year, if slackwater is completed, that
amount will be swelled to q million
dollars.
If we count the Black Bottle Rail
road, which is'a substantial prospect
i've improvement, we may put down
the figures at more than million
and a half dollars that have been ex-
pended within three years in improv-
ing this town.

With railroad and water transpor.
tation; with the finest quality Of
natural gas; with temperate eli
mate free from the extremes of heat
and cold; with magnificent scenery
with unsurpassed schools; and with
water works supplying a stream Of
pure, soft water from mountain
springs, we want to know where there
is any better town than this?
Is there any that equals it in West
Virginia?
Is there any that excels it in. the
United States?
And now we want to say that the
browning glory of all these acquisi.
lions is our prospective water works
system. There is nothing that will
bring more solid comfort to its in
habitants, and serve as better adj
vertisement to the town than our
mountain water.
When a man is seeking site on
which to build house, the first con-
sideration is his water supply. He
will sacrifice beauty and convenience
and almost every other considera-
ton to his water privileges. A nat
ural spring is regarded as fortune
to any property.
So it is in a greater or less degree,
with selecting town in which to To-
cate. An unhealthy or deficient wa
ter supply is in itself enough to kill
a town, while mountain spring in
every house is enough in itself, to
advertise a town from one end of the
land to the other.
Out Of all the improvements which
have been coming to us, our propos-
ed water works is the only one for
which the town has been asked to
pay cent. For this the town has
very properly subscribed the sum OF
5000 per annum for five years, and
has in return fifteen plugs as pro
lection against fire.
Does anybody say that the town
could do any less than accept such q
propositions
We believe they do!
If it were not that nothing sur.
prises us any more, this would.
We expect kickers in communi.
ty on every proposition that could
be named, or we wouldn't on this.
We heard men say that this town
could not afford to pay 5000 year

A Campaign Against West vir.
ginia.


"The axe is in the air." says Gen
eral Golf, land the heads will soon
begin to drop This is the West
Virginia leaders opinion of Gen.
Harrison's policy toward West Vir-
ginia.
The announcement had come from
Washington previous to this official
declaration that West Virginia Dem
ocrats should not stand upon the
order of their going, but go at once.
1t was the Administrations purpose
to make West Virginia Republi-
can State, if lavish distribution of
the spoils of office would accomplish
that result. No West Virginia
Democrat, Gen. Golf has said, shall
be allowed to remain one day longer
than necessary, and in every posi-
BILE case his place will be filled by a
West Virginia Republican.
The declaration of the spoils doc
trine is no holder than it is disgrace
full. Public office is not public
trust according to this theory, but a
means of strengthening the Republi-
can party, and its fullest powers will
be used to that end. Party service
and ability to control votes by fair
means or foul, will be the standard ;,
and the aspirant who does not meas
ure up to them, must retire.
1t cannot be doubted that the adj
ministration has marked out ii course
which is designed to make West Vir-
ginia Republican. We mistake the
temper of West Virginians if it is
successful. The rewards of Office
will not bribe the honest voters of
West Virginia to desert their party.
1t is matter of Indifference to the
people which crowd of patriots occu-
pies the public trough, but they do
want honest service by honest pub
lie officials and the plan which Gen.
Golf outlines will do more to injure
the public service than anything
else
All the aspirant, can not be salts
fed, and disappointment will chill
the ardor of many warrior who has
been foremost in the contest. With
no offices to divide them the De-
mocracy will be stronger than ever
If Mr.. Harrison thinks it is cute
piece of political strategy to remove
honest Democrats from office to re-
place them with Republican trick
sters, he can take his course and
November '92 will prove the gravity
of his mistake.-Register
1t is reported at Charleston that
the Republican members of the Leg
islature have entered into an agree
ment to refuse to obey the call of
Governor Wilson for an extra ses-
sion. The reason assigned by them
for this is that Wilson is not the
lawful Governor and therefore has
no authority to issue such call, hut
their real object is to prevent de
cision in the Gubernatorial contest
by the present Legislature. The
Democrats have a quorum in the

One of the first results of Re
publican majority in both branches
of Congress is the springing of a
movement looking to an increase of
salaries to $4,000 per annum. The
alleged reason for the proposed in
crease is that 5000 is not sufficient
to maintain our law makers in the
manner in which they would like to
live. But there is no need to fear
that nobody can be induced to ac
cept seats in Congress at the present
salary.

this fashion:
There was no pretense of objec-
tion to Mr.. Halstead on the ground
of fitness. He WAS rejected by Sena-
torial frauds because he had the
courage of his convictions, and was
not afraid to tell the truth. The re-
suit, therefore, cannot hurt him, but
it is bound to hurt guilty Senators.
Perhaps, too, it may lead to a line OF
thought that will abolish the United
States Senate altogether, with its
star chamber proceedings, or compel
change in the methods of election
that will bring that body closer to
the people and force it's members
outside of the money influence.
People would be startled to know
how many seats in the United States
Senate were bought with money and
how many seats are therefore dis
graced. This is business that
cannot last. The people will not
tolerate it. This kind of corruption
must be wiped out.
Payne proposes, in order to fur.
ther vindication, to be candidate
for reelection to the United States
Senate. He has a right to do that
We decidedly favor it. We dare

pie. Who cannot be bought, will set
tie the eorruptionists.
The issue for next fall has been
male in Ohio by Mr.. Payne. 1t
cannot be avoided. The defeat OF
Halstead was the result of revenge.
Now lei the people Of Ohio demon
strate the folly Of revenge.
