New Roads 40 be Built in West
Virginia.


Railroad men have beer. as num-
erons in Weston this week as poll
ticians around State House, and
the result has been several imports
ant and material changes in the
management Of onr roads.
Eek senator johnson \. Camden,
the most prominent figure, who is
at the head of the great system of
roads now under construction and
in contemplation. together with sew
eral Baltimore & Ohio officials, is
engineering the work
Among other business transacted
at this meeting of the Board is the
consolidation of the BuclShannon
River Railroad Company aud the
Clarksburg, Weston & Midland II.
R. Company, and tho entire system
of roads thus consolidated changed
to u new name to be known as the
West Virginia & Pittsburg Railroad
Company. The Buskhannon River
branch is to be extended 10 the
mouth of Cherry Tree, branch of
Gauley River; all the different lines
standard guaged; the erection of
handsome depot hcre; the location
of the machine shops for this divis-
ion, and the principal Offices located
ut Weston.
These roads will be under the
management of the Baltimore 4
Ohio Railroad Company Hestoa
Democrat.
II is asserted that the extension
of the Kanawha and Ohio Railway
from Charleston to the Gauley river
will be completed during the ap-
preaching summer. The right of
way has been secured, and the road
built as far as Maiden. It's the in
tention of the company to extend
the road at once, in order to tap the
coal fields of the upper Kanawha.
The road will in all probability be
built for some distance up the
Gauley river also, as there arc-rich
deposits of coal there which have
never been opened, besides the inn
mense amount of timber that is OBJ
tainablc in that region. Unless the
*. & o. people build their road mp
there some other company is bound
to build one, and we hope to sec the
x. & o. get in first, as in that event
the shipments will all come this way,
while if some other road gets in,
Charleston will be cut off from one
of the richest sections of the State.
Col NJ. p o'Hern President of
the st. Adams and Coal River Rail-
road, is now in Baltimore in the i'm
terest of his road. He is engaging
contractors to work on the construc-
tion of his road up Coal river, and
promises to push the work rapidly
as soon as the weather settles. If
being thoroughly in earnest, can ac !.
complish anything, Col. o'Hern n
will have road up Coal river be-
fore very long.

The Farmers Alliance, knights
of Labor and Farmers Mutual Bene-
fit Association of Kansas, held a
meeting at Fort Scott last week and
resolved with almost smothering
solemnity that they would support
no one for Office who did not advo-
cate these views. to wit: Abolition
of national banks and the substi-
tuition of greenbacks for bank notes;
enactment of laws prohibiting deal
ing in margins, free coinage of sill
yer; abolition of alien ownership of
land, all revenues shall be limited
to the needs of the government
economically administered.
These views enuneiate a pretty
platform, but it will be cold day
when the Kansites vote for them.
They vote the Republican ticket,
blindly, stupidity. mechanically, out
there. They don't know any better.

of West Nirginians: ~

This showing hardly does justice
to the West yirginians, since their
regiments were, as a rule, under the
average size, and, owing to the diff
'ficulties Of recruiting. they had from
first to last, fewer men on their
rolls, SO that the apportionmeut of
mortality to the total number was
greater than would appear from a
similar showing in regiments from
more Northern States.

Free Raw sInierIals.

From Wales Eib' and Fabric.
r The contounding of the ideas of
protection TO American labor with
tariff taxes on foreign products is
the strong bold that politicians try
to keep on the working classes. =
Every pound of raw material that
is imported from abroad helps to
employ American labor, and in the
case of wool usually helps the con
sumption of home grown woods, al
so. Ii it was not imported, the
goods, or worse still, the clothing,
would be imported already made,
and in the latter case there would
not be cents worth of American
labor in its production; so with iron
ore. To make these materials free
would increase the demand for
American labor and give farmers
a better home market for their pro-
dhctions. In pure wool and worst
ed goods the cost of materials is
about three times as much as the
cost of flaborrand a duty on these ma
terials tends to diminish the amount
the manufacturer who consumes
them can afford to pay for bis labor.
1t also drives him to the s,f6stitu-
ton of shoddy and cotton {9r wool.

Coming elections.

The year 1890 will witness a test
of the strength of Harrison's adj
ministration with the people, and
the test will come with the election
of the members of the 52nd Con
gress. aU
-Four of these members are to be
elected in West Virginia, and the
contest in this State will be one of
exceeding vigor and earnestness.
1t will be crucial test of party
strength, and by the result this
year will stand or fall the pretcn-
sions of the last election. f
A nero reference to the fact
ought to be sufficient to put tho
Democratic party on its mcttle. 1t
is time now to begin work. No
slouching or loafng will be tolera-
ted. 1t means defeat. w
This fact must now be admitted
namely, that it will require earnest,
unceasing, harmonious work to sue
ceed. 1t is time therefore for the
Democratic leaders and committees
to begin the consideration-of what
is best to do, and the best way to
do it.
