What Might Fave Been.

From the National Tribune.
The condition of Euope shows what
the splendid valor of our soldiers pre-
vented in this country. And they not
fought as persIstentlv to the end of they
did. we should have had any number of
hostile nations on this continent, each
with its standing army, its great lines of
expensive Notifications and its horde of
tax-gatherers eating out the substance of
the people for constant preparations for
war. Had our soldiers wearied of fight
ing and slaughter, as well they might
have done after the Wilderness or the
Atlanta campaign, there would have
been no less than four separate nations
in the United States, and their army ex-
penses would have been quadruple what
the pension list is today, 10 say nothing
of the enormous burdens on business.

Denouncing Abraham Lincoln"

eE44usI44 11AI1OO1I4'
From he Chicago Journal.
The so-called drama of Abraham
Lincoln" now being presented on the
Chicago stage, is a areproach to the dra-
matte profession and disgrace to Amer
ican civilization. The author has fished
up from the darkest and saddest epoch
in American history its darkest and sad
dest chapter with view of feasting
pruriency on stage scenes of unrelieved
treachery and blood. That there should
be a man coarse enough to write such a
play, and crowds of people low and
coarse enough to witness it, Is matter
of surprise and regret.

Dry by a Majority of 80.

The election held Saturday the Is,
inst. to decide the question of wheth-
er or not license to sell whisky, beer
&c, be granted in Morgantown was
one of the quietest for years. That
is it was quiet on the surface but
the license and anti-license people
all had their war paint on and their
guns charged with noiseless powder.
The polls opened at l P. M. and the
voters marched up to the municipal
building and deposited their tickets
without being buttonholed and amid
silence which proved to be the dead
march for John Barley Corn who
was followed to his grave by the SO
voters who voted license, while the
125 who voted no license, shoveled
the dirt into the grave and smiled a
bright smile for the second time dur
ing the last six months over his
corpse. But like Banquo's ghost J..
B. Corn won't down and will again
be found sitting astride his monu-
ment. and calling for "more votes"
but, it is not at all likely that the
present Council will help him onto
the monument. There were 233 votes
cast at the February election 81 for
and 146 against license, and 213 cast
on the 18th SS for and 125 against,
which shows that over 20 anti -license
people did not vote.

A Plant From Vaudeville.

MAIDsvILLE, July Alt is wise
no doubt to keep everything that is
indecent OF disreputable out of the
paper. But just now our citizens
are not well pleased at the manner
in which our bridge is being con
structed across Robinson's run.
The contract was let TO one Mr..
Gidley by the President of the coun-
ty court. The bridge was sold with
the understanding that it was to be
built on a secure foundation, and
our citizens calculated on putting
the foundation at least four or five
feet below the level of the run bed
But to our surprise, the contractors
are content with about 6 inches be-
low the level and on the sand al
that. The rise in the run or creek
would no doubt have undermined
the sandy foundation had small
rocks not been placed to protect it
Some of our people are in favor O.
filing petition to the county court
asking that it shall not be taken of
the contractors hands. Others claim
that it will be of no use, as the pres
ident will recommend that it be ia
ken and that will be the end of it
However, / would ask the members
Of the Board to come immediatel,
and examine it themselves. If the,
are content to waste the people
money in this manner, we will have
to raise our feeble voice alone.
