w here is 1t?

Morgantown beats the world for
having committees of its business
men stop work without being formal
ly discharged. Last spring there
was a Chamber of Commerce, or
something like that, that was to
manage in every way possible for
the bringing of industrial enterprises
to this place. The body was organ
lied and then-disbanded. Even
though Mr. Walter Snyder, of Phil
adelphia, wanted to locate an i'm
mense knitting factory here, he was
not even communicated with, in fact
no correspondence with the gentle
was DONE
Does that look like very alert
Chamber of Commerce?
1t was proposed to have $4,000
raised by the installment plan, Is
men to go into the association to put
$3.50 each per week into the general
fund, the money to be used for put
ting in operation pottery Did
the Chamber of Commerce give the
least interested prick to its ears to
the scheme? Not that any one has
heard. The plan was conceded by
all to be splendid one, and we want
to know if the duty of the Chamber
is not to investigate and report on
all tangible propositions.
Perry S. Tygard is almost forgot
ten. For few days subscription
solicitors were active and when near
ly the amount necessary was raised
there was Collapse of interest and
for all anyone knows, though we
hope it is not true, the whole bust
has gone to the demnition bow vows.
The question is, plainly put, what
good to the community has our
Chamber of Commerce done US or
what have they tried to do?
We are as much interested in our
town, its growth, advance and i'm
portance. as the most enthusiastic
boomer, and we feel fall of pride
in making these confessions, but we
publish news paper, you know.
The columns of the New DOMINION
are the recognized channels of dis
cussion for all good things for our
town and county, and we blow on
nobody when we say that the Cham
Der Of Commerce has been gross in
its neglect of duty. 1t has not come
up to the scratch at times when its
influence and intercesion would
have benefited the community very
materially.
1t is not too late for the commit
tee to rectify its derelictness. Come
in at the eleventh hour and every
thing will yet be lovely

Wanted...A Man.

The public sentiment in favor of a
town-hall is growing somewhat in
tense.
But it is the same old situation
. great public need without man
to head it.
Everybody comedies and every
body is ready to deprecate the fact
that the want of a town hall is at
present the greatest drawback to
this town. But there is no man OF
sufficient public spirit to step to the
front and assume the work unifyfng
this public sentiment upon one prac-
tical plan, and carrying it fnrward
to completion.
The owners of the old skating
Rink at Fairmont have had an in
come this year of $500, on that in
stitution. which cost them, originally,
about $l100. In other words, the
thing has about paid for itself in
two years. We could build hall
here, large enough and nice enough,
for $4,000. An income of $500, on
such building would be regarded
as a first class investment.
Who does not believe that pub
lie hall in this place would bring
$500 year? Who doubts that it
would average $500?
There is absolutely no competition
for such an institution. There is no
place that can be used as substitute
for town-hall. 1t would be the
head quarters for everything like a
public entertainment, and at such
prices as the owners should choase to
exact.
Here is an opportunity for men Of
means not only to benefit their town,
but to find good, substantial, pay
ing investment. Who 10 the man TO
step forward and lead in the matter?
Don't III speak Il once.

The resolutions of our friends
at Usage published in another col
umn are in every way pertinent and
timely regarding the necessity for
better roads, but we think they go a
little too far in bringing to light
their wishes as opposed to the new
court house The money for the
roads can be expended at the courts
order, without a levy, as all the
money necessary for that is incom-
ing every year. 1t is the road law
that should be changed to get the
benefit to the roads of the money
laid on them. The court house prop
osition cannot consistently be
brought with the discussion.

Hon. d. B. Lucas looms up as a
probable appointee to the Supreme
Bench, vacancy having been caus-
ed by the death of Judge Green.
Mr.. Lucas is a. lawyerof discernment
and one whose opinions would only
be given after due consideration and
is otherwise splendidly qualified
for the place. There has been no.
thing definite to confirm this proph-
ecy, but he is believed to be in
the race. But there are many others
who are after the appointment, and
the governor will have choice from
quite an array of legal lights who
are anxious to serve their state.

Democrats Pass Resolutions.
The Democratic members of the
house at their caucus for officers
adopted the following:
Resolved, That we,!the Democratic
members of the house of representa-
tives of the Fifty first congress, at
the beginning Of its first session,
hereby send greeting to the people
of the country, the assurance of our
continued confidence in and devotion
to the principles of tariff reform, as
embraced in President Cleveland's
messages to the last congress upon
that subject, and in the platform of
principles adopted by the last Demo
cratic national convention at st.
Louis; and that we hail with delight
the emphatic approval of those prin-
ciples by the people, as expressed at
the polls in the recent elections; and
we pledge them to renew and con-
tinue in congress the contest for a
reduction of the war taxes, so ably
begun and prosecuted in former con
crosses by our representatives and
senators.

ONT II \ New Dpot.
And now it turns ont that the B.
4 O. railroad company il 70 have
virtual control Of the new road be-
ing built up the West Fork from
Fairmont to Clarksburg.
Mess. Camden, Fleming q Co, back
ed by an Eastern syndicate Of CAPT
talists, were supposed to have com
plete control Of this branch, and
designed ultimately to extend it on
to connect with the Ohio River road,
and thus gain an Eastern connection
which would make them independent
of the B. d 0.
But, 10, the B. & O., after having
obtained present contract for the
carriage of all the freight shipped
by the new road, now makes one
other step, and becomes the indorser
of the new roads bonds-which is
simply one form Of taking control
and possession of a railroad. The
b. d 0. will thus not only use this
branch as one of the feeders of it's
main line, but it will ultimately COB
BILE it up root and branch.
There will be no extension of the
branch to the Ohio River. The B.
d o. will take the freight from both
ends of the branch. At Clarksburg
it will carry all the freight destined
to the Ohio river, and at Fairmont
it will take all destined to the East
or to Pittsburg.
The only hope we have is the ex-
tension of the f., NJ. Il p. in accor-
dance with the agreement made by
the b. q o. is that it will be to the
advantage of the B. q O. Until this
extension is made it will have to
carry the coke from the West Fork
road to Pittsburg, over the noun
tains by way of Cumberland. Their
contract with the West Fork syndi-
cate requires them to do this; and
the probability is that they will get
tired of it. They will rather build
twenty miles of new road which
promises to be very profitable to them
in many ways than to carry freight
over the mountains to Pittsburg
But the situation will be bitter
pill to the Clarksburg people, who
were hoping to get the benefit of
some competition between roads by
the building of the West Fork. We
therefore, surmise that the horse
and cart at work on the w. Va. q p.
road near Fairmont will be contin-
ued indefinitely.

That Centennial History of
MOrgantOwn,

1t may have passed entirely out
of the memory of men that we once
celebrated the centennial anniversa-
ry of Morgantown; that the events
of that day and date were commit
ted to writing; that various papers
were prepared by various citizens
from various standpoints with view
of collecting and preserving the his
tory of the town in permanent form;
and that an editor was appointed to
put all this matter in proper shape
for the printer.
1t may be fact also, unknown to
the body of this ancient and honor
able commonwealth, that a large
part of this matter was duly collect
ed by the editor, placed in the hands
of the printer, and the printing &C
tually done to a certain point
when the whole matter ceased to re-
ceive attention from any source and
still remains in stdtU quo.
Some very readable and valuable
matter, which would he priced by
every inhabitant of Morgantown and
would find ready sale if offered, is
now in the hands of the printer
waiting for orders to be completed.
This is matter that should have
the attention of somebody-we don't
know who-and be closed up. 1t is
too important to be allowed to re-
main in this imperfect state and in
view of the fact that considerable
money has been expended in carry
ing it thus far, and only little
more necessary to complete it, we
think it pity that it should not be
completed.

By the death of Judge Thomas G..
Green, of the West Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals, which occurred
last Wednesday at his residence in
Charlestown, this State loses the
services of an able and incorruptible
judge. Judge Thomas G. Green
was noted lawyer, and as an advo-
cate he could state his case with
great clearness. As a judge on the
bench of the Supreme Court of West
Virginia his decisions exhibited re-
markable research and learning, and
always commanded the respect of
attorneys and clients. Judge Green
was native of Culpeper county, Va.
but had resided in Charlestown for
nearly forty years.

There is one kind of road improve
ment that can be done better when
the roads are muddy than at any
other time, and it is an effective
method of highway betterment. We
refer to the corduroying process.
Wharton's mill Is not far from jim
town and therefore the necessary
slabs to corduroy the Jimtown road
are near at hand. 1t would take
500 or SO to do the work, and we
can satisfy the commissioners that
no one will kick on the expenditure.
A corduroy road is not the best in
the world, but a corduroy road would
be better than any in the county.
A corduroy improvement will make
the Jimtown road the best in the
county instead of the worst. Is a
commissioners duty in regard to
roads to laugh at all suggestions2

Now the big RAIDS admit that
there must be a good deal in this
tariff reform idea. Ex-Gov. Gear,
of Iowa, Republican and a recog-
nized leader in that state, has views
of the late election in the west, and
he is very frank in giving expression
to them. In recent interview he
said: sour defeat in Iowa was a
crushing surprise, and after calm
and close analysis of the situation l
am satisfied that the Republican
party must either cut loose from its
high protection theories, and at once
set about a radical reform of the
present revenue system, or give up
all hopes of return of power. The
people have become dissatisfied with
the existing conditions, and a change
for the better is imperative.
