A Negro Victory.

Now that the enthusiasm engen-
dered by Harrison's election has
died away, and the thinking Repub-
licans sum up the causes which led
to the victory of their party and ex-
anime the race, they must deplore
the causes which lead to victory,
even if they glorify in the spoils of
the victor. By actual statistics the
Democrats have a majority of ,25O,-
600 in round numbers, among the
white men of the country. Elimi-
nate the negro from politics and the
Republican party is in q hopeless
minority. Even with million and
quarter of negro votes it is in the
minority by one hundred thousand.
Whenever Republican considers
that though his party has million
and a quarter of negro votes and
several hundred thousand ex union
soldier votes, which can certainly be
relied upon no matter what princi-
pies it may embrace in it's platform,
and yet is unable to gain majority
of the popular vote, he must surely
feel that his party has not that con-
idence of the people which is engen-
dered by acts Friendship and fealty.
1t is enough to convince thought
full Republican who is free from pref
udice, that his party, from the stand
point of merited popularity is a fail
are. Without the negro vote, New
York, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana Iowa,
Michigan and half dozen other
Northern States would be Democrat
ic by majorities ranging up in the
thousands. There would be no
doubtful states, as only the North
east and Northwest would be Repub.
lican. How about West Virgin,
ia without the negro vote? And
how about the negro vote? Is it not
burlesque on the right of suffrage?
Are there 25,000 negroes in the whole
country who can cast intelligent
votes? who can vote as intelligent
and well posted citizens, in the inter
est Of the principles that will accrue
to the benefit of the country? The
election of Harrison was due to the
triumph of prejudice and the holders
and followers Of that prejudice was
the negro race. 1t was negro vic
tory, and to the true victors have
not fallen single spoil of Office
Putnam Democrat.

The IPensionIfst.

Criticism of Commissioner Tan
ner's scheme to pension erybody
is received by the surplus spenders
and votc-calchcrs as 'hostiity to the
Union soldiers"
1t is not hostility but true regard,
for honorable veterans, to wish to
keep the pension list roll of honor.
That list will be anything but roll
of honor when the bummers and the
shirks are given an equal place upon
it with brave and faithful soldiers,
and when the able bodied and pros
porous share the nations bounty
with the disabled and dependent.
1t is said. in one of the true words
spoken in jest, that Corporal Tan
ner will do his best to make the next
war popular" Yes, with mercenar-
les. To pension everybody who vol
unteered is to make lost virtue of
patriotism. To induce men to en-
list, not in defense Of their country
but in the hope of getting life sup
port at the country's expense, is to
deprave citizenship to Hessian basis.
The country should be and has
been liberal and generous without
stint in its care of wounded, disabled
and enfeebled soldiers. A pension
list of $S7,00O,000 year is at once
testimony and warning. To swell
it further by the reckless legislation
proposed would be an equal injustice
to self-respecting veterans and to
the over-burdened tax-payers.-N.

Blaine I'm the Soup.

The question of Blaine's strength
with the administration is one that
is worrying the Blainiacs, who were
SO ardent for Harrison. Certain it
is that the State Department has
been reIegated at least toward the
rear. But how far2 The Philadcl-
phia Times says:
There are well-defined murmurs
heard from the immediate friends of
Premier Blaine 1t is now asserted
that he not only is powerless in
shaping the diplomatic appointments
as rule. but that two OF the most
important missions awarded were
given without ever consulting the
Secretary of State. What does it
mean? Is Blaine in the soup?
Blaine is nothing if not master,
and already there are whispers of
his early resignation. We don't look
for Blaine to give up so soon. He is
an expert in the direction of power,
and he won't get disguised and tum-
bic backward into the soup until
every resource and all patience are
exhausted; bnt until the issue shall
be decided, the burning question
will he-Is Blaine in the soup?
Harrison is a proud man: proud
of his name, proud of his lineage and
proud of his high prerogatives. He
went into the Presidency admonish-
ell on every side that Blaine would
be his master, and he seems to have
braccd his heels mule fashion to
avert that misfortune And when a
good fashioned Presbyterian
foreordinationist like Harrison plants
his heels fashion, somebody
must get into the soup. Is Blaine
in the soup?'

When a thing is actually busted,
it is time to gather up the fragments
and make the most of them.
There are inquiries about
the BIackbottle railroad, People
cannot understand why it is that a
valuable public work like that should
be allowed to remain dormant, and
of no valne to anybody.
There is large amount of trestle
work, erected at great cost, that is
fast rotting away. There are eight
or ten miles of d-bed, almost
ready for the rails. This work rep
resents abont half a million of dol
lars. Why should it not be of some
market value? Why should not those
who are interested in it be willing
and anxious TO get anything out of it
rather than nothing?
Is it stubbornness on the part of
creditors that delays the sale of the
road? Or is it true that nobody
feels interested to a sufficient extent
to busy himself about it?
We hope that enough creditors
will combine to have this road put
upon the market in a way that will
give the purchaser clear title, and
thus insure its completion in short
time. Our town is greatly interest
ed in this enterprise. Its completion
would give us boom that no other
project now in sight could equal.
Let us have pull at the Black
bottle.

Certaia h the Heer
Future.


Ialllltkt luutA-
Braxton county voted last Monday
to Subscribe 100000 to the Weston
and Elk River railroad, the prupo-
sitiob carrying by nine tenths ma
jority. The proposed road viii run
from Weston 10 Braxton Court
House, and is an important part Of
Senator ramden's projected system
for the Development of central West
Virginia and the opening up Of the
immense coal field Of this section.
1t will connect at Weston with the
Weston and Clarksburg narrow
gauge, which 10 at once to be chang
ed to standard gauge road, and
thus with the projected road up the
West Fork river from Fairmont con-
Meeting with the Weston and Clarks-
burg road at the latter place, will
give us direct line of railroad from
Fairmont to Braxton Court House.
Each of these enterprises is to be
pushed forward In MFR. CAmden's u.s.
TALLY vigorous manner, and all will
probably be completed during this
year. The line from here to Clarks-
burg will be let to contract next Mon
day. Capt. Pettigrew, who has been
engaged on the survey of this road.
will take his corps TO Weston next
week to begin the necessary surveys
for the changing ogthe gauge OF the
Weston and Clarksburg road. and
within a few weeks the engineers
will probably be put on the route
from Weston to Braxton Court
House.
The ultimate extension of the road
from Braxton c. II. to Charleston, a
distance Of something over 20 miles,
perhaps, is certain, and although it
is not now being considered, it is
part of Senator Camden's general
plan for the development of the cen
trail part of the State and will be
accomplished in the near future
without doubt. The road from here
to Clarksburg will open up coal
fields as large as those of the COM
bined Pittsburg and Connellsville
region, and with it's connections with
the main line of the B. Il O. at this
point and with the Parkersburg
branch at Clarksburg, will place our
coal and coke nearer to the markets
of the West and Northwest by many
miles than the Connellsville output.
The road from Clarksburg to Brax-
ton C. H. goes through country re-
markably rich in natural resources,
and its extension to Charleston
would also connect us closely with
the markets of the South and South
west.
With the Monongahela River rail
road practically in course of con-
struction and it's extension as above
indicated absolutely assured, we
have little occasion to indulge in the
manufacture, also, Of any paper
railroads." hut we think it scarcely
possible that with Senator Camden's
system in active operation and the
consequent development of this sec
ton of the State, the little gap that
cuts us off from Pittsburg will be
long permitted to exist. In fact we
shall not be surprised at any time
now to hear of one or more of the
Pennsylvania roads bestirring them
selves to get down this way quick,
and without taking time to ask for
county subscriptions, either.
Altogether, Fairmont seems to be
in luck. There is good sized boom
in sight, and the chances are that it
won't be side tracked.

town Yesterday Since his develop

has been casting his eye again in this
direction for new territory, and is
now putting down well on Indian
Creek in Monongalia county. He is
confident of striking either oil or gas
there, and will put down several holes
anyhow, Unnecessary, before abandon
ing the idea In conversation with
Judge Hayden he predicted that
Fairmont would have natural gas
within year, and in answer to the
Judges question why he thought so,
he coolly said, We'll, if nobody else
will do it, III put down a well or
pipe it into town myself before that
time" We beg to extend to the ge-
