Only three out of fourteen steel
rail works in the country are run
ming. The men employed in the
eleven works which are shut down
thus have an ample opportunity to
study how "high protection benefits
labor" If any of them chance to
have those "pay envelopes" still,
about the Republican campaign
texts, they will serve to pass away
an idle hour Andy Carnegie, how
ever, participated amongst the head
participants in the pomp and page
antry OF the late fandango at Wash
ington, and was the soul Of 'protec-
tom to every working man present.

The meetings held by the business
men at the court house Thursday
and Saturday nights are the sure
stepping stones to the prosperity we
have been trying to reach for years.
,,s even the oldest of them were sur
priscd by the practical ideas set
forth for the towns advancement,
and the competent committees hav-
ing in charge the matter will see to
It that those same ideas are prolific
Of grand results. The start has been
made and we all should put shout
der to the wheel and keep the enter
pise moving. Young men of grit
and push, come to Morgantown; no
idlers or old fogies need apply.

President Harrison has said that
former Republican office holders will
have no prefermcnt with him in the
matter of being reinstated in their
old places. This has slightly de-
pressing effect even in West Virginia,
especially on S. ?. Mccormick and
Gen. Duvall, who will fight for the
internal revenue collectorship with
all the energy for which an anxious
Office seeker is noted. We hear of a
great many applicants for Mr.. Nc
Graw's place, but then the question
arises, Whats the matter with the
present incumbent" and the hills
bring back the echo, Hes all right. !"

Postmaster General, was born in
Philadelphia about seventy-fi years
ago. His parents were poor, and his
father, brick-layer, was unable to
give John anything more than a
documentary education. He was q
close student, however, and though
compelled to go to work in a small
clothing store at the age of fourteen,
he had given promise Of business
sagacity and enterprise. His wages
at first were $3.50 week, yet at the
end Of five years he had become one
Of the firms hest statesmen, he had
saved the snug sum of $4,000. All
bis spare houre were devoted to edit
ing, publishing and soliciting adver-
tisements for an amateur paper call
ed Every6ody's Journal. The com
mcrcial instinct was the denomin-
ating feature Of his nature, and he
was invariably successful in his bus
mess ventures, even in his youth.
His many plans for making money
were never at the expense Of bic hon
esty, He first thought Of entering

The Gazette does not propose to give precc'

Just so, neiehbor. But wouldn't more prac'
tical good come from developing our agricui
tnral interests?
We can't all be bondholders, neither
can we all be factory builders, but, each
aud all can make individual efforts To improve
his financial condition. This is an agrcul-
tural country, and those farmers who are 40!
able to hire hands to Kill their grass can get
wire fences and employ cattle to gather ii
and turn it into flesh. While few men ".e

Cattle and colts gather the grass wi hout
charge. They don't have TO be walked up on
Monday morning, and be started oil 20 work
They don't ask you TO waive rent lfinS, n,l
do they "sass" you about gathering grass
every day in the week.
We are glad to see thousands ot yards
of wire fencing constantly being carried
from town. Tie best wire j. The barbcd wire
