Now II the summer of Their
DlscOmtemt.

Every person who has been in town
for the past two weeks from out in
the country complains of the poor
roads. They say they never saw
such bad roads, and probably they
never did.
There is no reason for having bad
roads.
When the weather was mild, when
it was fierce, when it was wet and
when it was dry the NEW DOMINION
urged the necessity of more hard
cash to be expended on the public
roads, and cited for examples places
that formerly had worse roads than
ever monaghan was accustomed
to, which, by judicious and liberal
expenditures and scientific working
have good roads all the year round.
We could have better roads if the
people would protest against the
kind we have.
There's no reason for having bad
roads.
The people of Morgantown, at
least the business men, should take
action against another siege of bad
roads. Our country cousins would
trade with us more if they could get
to town. Let us all do what we can
to get better roads.
This is not muddy age, and we
are getting far behind the times to
tolerate mud.
There's no reason for having bad
roads.

for Governor.

for Governor.
| We have seen no more conclusive
and fair statement of the legal OF
constitutional points.involved in the
contest for Governor, than the follow
ing taken from an interview publish
ed in the Register, supposed to have
been with Elk Judge Okey johnson
GOV. Wilson'S POSITION
Tomorrow there will be three
claimants for the office Of Governor
of West Virginia. Governor Wilson,
the present incumbent, will refuse to
vacate the office, because he deems
it his duty under the constitution to
hold over until his successor is duly
declared elected and qualified. His
claim is based on section 6, Article
A, of the Constitution. which provides,
"that all officers elected or appointed
under this Con- titution may. unless
herein otherwise provided for, be re-
moved from office for official niscon-
duct, incompetence, neglect of duty
or gross immortality, in such manner
as may be pres ribbed by general
laws, and unless so removed they
shall continue to discharge the duty
of their respective offices until their
successors are elected or appointed
and qualified"
He claims that this clause was in
serted to prevent the Office from be-
coming vacant He further claims
there is no one who is in a position
to receive the Office from him: that
General Golf can not take it, because
he has no right to qualify, not hav.
ing been declared elected according
to the requirements Of the Constitu-
ton; that although he claims to
have received majorityof the votes
and has therefore been elected, vel
this is disputed and contest Is
pending, and the only constitutional
tribunal having power to settle his
title has not done so. and as he hal

Now Let Ms Get Out Of the M nd.
There is no reason why this town
should not have sidewalks on both
sides of every street.
There is every reason why it
should have.
When, after hundred years of
walking in the mud, the last Council
walked up to the conclusion that our
self-respect and our civilization de-
manded sidewalks for the pedestrian
different from that provided for the
horse, there was not man who had
the tcmerity to debate that PROPOSE
ton. There were a few who were
willing to continue to wade in the
mud for another century rather than
pay for sidewalk, but even they
could not dispute the propriety of
having the side walk.
Not kicker showed his heels.
The orders SO made by Council
have not yet all been complied with,
yet what has been done has served
to add greatly to the market value
of property and the responsibility of
the town. There is property on
Front street that was almost I'M
known to the majority Of the popu-
lation, because it was inaccessible
it was barricaded by mud-that is
now on the line of a thoroughfare
made by good side walk. That
property, heretofore unstable, is
brought into the market and can be
sold any day for what it is worth
and all this by putting few dollars
in a side walk.
A town that wont build side walks
is not respectable.
A population that will contented.
ly wade ia the mud is not respected.
The small cost Of making and
maintaining a good pavement, com
pared with its immense convenience
and comfort, furnishes the very best
reason for the town authorities to
compel those to make them who
wont do it voluntarily. There are
yet whole squares on some of our
leading streets which have no pave
ment on either side. There are other
squares where only one side is
paved.
We repeat that there is no valid
reason why both sides Of every street
in this town should not have a good
pavement.
If there is we world like to have
| it mentioned.
II not, we ask the Council to push
the good work begun and finish paw
| ing this town.
Let the pavsments be fIpished At

Party organization seems to have
resumed its sway in West Virginia.
The election Of Mr. Kenna leaves NO
doubt that party kickers and OBJ
structionists are now willing to recog-
nizc the only methods by which par
ties can be guided to victory, and
that is, that the majority. shall rule.
His election after thirty days of bal
loting, is abundant evidence that
the minority have come to that point
where they are willing to recognize
the authority Of positive majority.
Such course in the future means
party success Let the Democrats
govern themselves accordingly

Governor Wilson has done his full
duty toward preserving the integrity
Of the Democratic party of this
State. Perhaps no other person has
done as much as he to unity the
party, and prepare it for good,
strong, winning fight in the next
campaign.
Neither threats, promises, nor ca
jolery could lead him from the path
Of uprightncss in the disposition Of
/ every issue presented for his consid-
GRAFTON. He has been frank and fair
toward his political enemies, cordial
and faithful to his friends, and i'm
4 partial toward all.
No other Governor of West Vir-
GINA ever had to face more intricate,
delicate and important issues He
has assumed every responsibility
without fear of consequences, and
has acquitted himself in every in
stance with that candor, rectitude
and honesty that will ever commend
him ID the Democracy as faithful
and useful servant.

THE OLD HAPSBURG CHATEAU.
nearly nine centuries ago, Is still stand
ing, and the walls are in such perfect
preservation that it might be restored
and modernized. But it does not belong
to the reigning house of Austria, being
the property of the canton of Argovie, in
Switzerland. The traveller, proceeding
up one of the broad valleys of that can
ton, emerges from dense forests and sees
rising above him beautiful and COM
handing hill, thick set with vines, and
OH the summit is the ruined castle Of
Habsbourg, which was for six centuries
the residence of the noble family Of that
name.
From the windows of the old castle
and the hill top around 1t one can look
down upon the valleys Of the Aar and up
to tho lines of the Jura mountains. The
people Of the neighborhood look with an
almost superstitious respect upon the old
castle, and the proposition Of the Aus
:rian emperor to purchase it was indig-
nantly rejected, but suggestion to tho
canton to present it to the Austrian i'm
perial family on condition that it should

terror is in ruins, except single room,
in which great mass of volumes are
preserved, in which successive visitors
of the last century have inscribed their
names and sentiments. These volumes
contain many curious drawings, observa-
tons, quotations from the classics, invo-
cations, prayers, humorous remarks and
all the manifestations Of sentiment
which might be expected from tens Of
thousands Of visitors. The philosopher
has inscribed there his reflections upon
the vanity Of human affairs; the poet has
written lines expressing his admiration
of the view, and men Of science or taste
have expressed their appropriate senti.
ments. Looking down upon the valley
today one can see the daily trains pass
up towards the highlands, which makes
the present vital, and in the chateau he
sees the Eleventh century restored.
The origin Of the House Of Hapsburg
can be traced back 10 one of the chiefs
of the invading Alemanni, one Of the

pire. The first to be ranked as noble
man was Ethico I, duke Of Alemannia,
in tho Seventh century, but the first
count Of Hapsburg is set down in the
genealogy as Werner II, nephew Of
