A CLEAR CASE.

The act of the Senate in seating
the Republican Senators from Mon
tana has brought upon the heads of
the majority all the abuse that the
Democratic tongue and pen are
capable of, and that is saying a
great deal. What we're the facts
The contest hinged upon the vote of
precinct 81 in Silver Bow County, a
precinct which does not contain a
single inhabitant. Without 1t the
Republicans carried the county, and
their delegates to the Legislature
were clearly entitled to their seats
and to vote for United States Sena.

which does not contain legal citi.
zen, turned up in the returns as hav.
ing cast III votes, ia of which we're

county to the Democrats and it was
IN such manner that the Democrats
attempted to steal the county and
gain control oil the Montana Legis.
lature. What fair.minded man will
say that the Republican memGers of
that body were not justified in re-
fusing to recognize the frauduleDtly
procured certificates OF the Demo.
cratic delegation, and instead give
the seats to the defranded Republi.
cans The ia votes counted by the
Democrats as having been cast at
precinct "a were those of un- natural,
lied, Italians and Turks who were
working on a railroad. 1t was not
even pretended that they had natur-
alization papers.

1t is reported that engine men
have orders to run from Cumber.
land to Washington hereafter. They
leave Berlin over the left.
There is to be bailt at Piedmont
by the Baltimore and Ohio new
penstock. 1t is rumored that this
means under the new train schedule
that all passenger locomotives will
run from Cumberland to Grafton in
stead Of from Keyser to Grafton as
is now the run.
Senator Blount, of Georgia, has
introduced a bill to erect public
buildings not to cost over $4,000 in
towns where the post office receipts
are over $4,000 year. That will
cover Martinsburg. Out of the two
bills before Congress for a public
building here, one will surely pass.
General Robert Fl. Milroy, who
will be remembered by most West
Virginia soldiers, died at Olympia,
in the new State Of Washington, on
the Goth OF last month. The old
warrior commanded many of the
West Virginia boys, every one of
whom will say he was as brave a
man and as hard a fighter as any
other General they served under.
1t is announced that the B. s. o.
Railroad has solved successfully the
question of burning coke on its en-
gines in place OF coal. Ifthis means
that the company proposes to use
coke hereafter in its locomotives, we
congratulate every town through
which its trains pass on the great
improvement.

THE BIBLE AS A HISTORY.

A dispatch from Oshkosh, Wis,
says, President Alben, Of the State
Normal School here, has received a
letter from one of the judges of the
Supreme Court of the State concern
ing the recent Bible decision. In
answer to the questions of Mr.. Alben
the judge says that the decision pro-
hi5iting the reading of the Bible in
schools merely iorbids its use as a
special book for specifically relig-
ious purpose. In other words, the
Bible may be used in the schools like
a history or any other book, and as
such may be read before the entire

SATURDAY. APRIL 26th, 1890.

1t is the intention of the company
if the agreement is made with the
city of Cumberland to concentrate at
that city lin addition to the men now
employed there) the machinery en-
ployees now engaged in repairing its
locomotives at Martinsburg, Keyser,
Piedmont and the larger portion of
the same class of employees at Con-
nelsville. So says Vice President
King,
A dispatch from Cumberland says
that the B. & O.'s proposition for the
$4,000 loan is not satisfactory, and
that if left to the vote Of the people
the terms would not be accepted.
Council will recommend different
proposition.
According to the Is. & O.'s PROPOSE
ton Cumberland is to become the ter
minus of the lst, I'd and Pittsburg d.
visions. The shops are to be general
repair, next to those at Mt. Clair. No
definite number of men is guaranteed,
but about 1000 is the estimate.
Cumberland is to purchase the
grounds and insure the B. & o. per-
petual privileges and exemptions.
Cumberland is to loan the B e. o.
Sl50,0O0 without interest, to be paid
back in $4,000 annual payments,
commencing after two years. In case
the terminals are changed, the shops
removed or work discontinued, the
b. d o. is to pay interest on the sum.
1t appears as if the b. & O.'s policy
is to get as much Of its property as
