AROUND THE WORLD


Two young men were conversing
about the length of time it would
take letter to go around the world,
short time ago, and one of them
hit upon plan TO find out, as fol-
lows: He wrote letter to the U. s.
Consul, Cairo, Egypt, enclosing an
open letter addressed to himself.
The letter to Cairo left the Claysville
post office on Sept 10 and reached
that place on the 30, the Consul re-
ceived the letter and endorsed it on
the back with n short note and at
tached the Consulate seal then seal
ed it and started it on its return
trip, which was received here on Oc-
tober 26, having on it the postmarks
Of Alexandria, Egypt, and San Fran
cisco, others being illegible. The let
ter made the round in 46 days, GO
ing by New York and returning by
way of San Francisco, thereby beat
ing the record of the flyers who raced
against time few months ago.

That widely known stockman's pa
per, the Breeders Gazette, has now
in preparation its annual Christmas
number. The edition this year is be-
ing prepared at cost of over $4,000
and will be far ahead Of anything OF
the kind yet issued. 1t will have a
costly Autographed cover, and a large
number OF magnificent engravings OF
celebrated animals, and will, we think
be priced by every man who takes
any interest in farming and stock
growing in any of its branches. The
Gazette leads all other publications
in it's line not only on Christmas but
during the year This excellent farm
er's journal and the New DOMINION
will be sent to any address during
1892 for $500.

Among the first things that will
claim the attention of the incoming
congress will be to cut down the
congressional appropriations. Nc
Democratic House will ever agree to
make appropriations that aggregate
billion. The question of cutting
down will be difficult one as the
treasury is now empty and the in
come mortgaged far into the future
1t will require the most careful and
laborous work of the most skilled
men in congress to reduce taxes OF
cut down appropriations, 80 skilfully
was the work of the late Billion Dol
lar Congress done. But the expend.
itures must be reduced at least one
hundred millions.

There is one feature Of the election
law Of New York, which we wish had
been incorporated in the new law of
West Virginia. 1t ought to be part
Of the election laws Of every State.
In this day when Doodle is the con-
trolling element in our elections, the
New York law seems especially APP
propriate. 1t is as follows:
Every candidate voted for at any
public election held in this State
shall, within ten days after such cleo
ton, file an itemized statement, show
ing In detail all the moneys contrib
uted or expended by him, directly or
indirectly, by himself or through any
other person, In aid of his election.
The statement shall give the names
Of the various persons who received
such moneys, the specific nature Of
each item, and the purpose for which
it was expended or contributed.
There shall be attached to such
statement an affidavit su described and
sworn to by such candidate, setting
forth in substance that the state
ment thus made is in all respects
true, and that the same is full and
detailed statement of all moneys so
contributed or expended by him, di-
rectly or indirectly, by himself or
through any other person in aid Of
his election"
These certificates are required to
be filed by State officers with the Sec
rotary of State and by county officers
with the clerk of the County Court.
A failure to comply with the pro-
visions of the law involves penalty
of not less than three nor more than
twelve months in Jail, and the candi-
date forfeits his office
This law il similar to that which
governs parliamentary elections in
England, and.is said to have pro-
duced great reform in the elections
of that country. 1t ought to be a
good law for every country and es-
pecially for popular government
like ours.
or course the newspapers get the
statements filed by candidates after
election and let the people know just
what "a candidate is willing to swear
to about his use of money, and if he
don't swear straight he is in danger
of the jug.
1t is a wholesome measure and we
hope to see it in force in this State.

''There is a wonderful change in
this town since saw it. l hardly
know the old town. is a common
exclamation Of the casual visitor.
To the permanent resident, how
ever, this change has been going for
ward SO gradually for the past few
years, that very few appreciate it.
Nevertheless, if The old town of five
years ago could be reproduced, and
all the changes that have been made
in that time were obliterated, then,
it would be in order for the perman-
ent resident to exclaim II hardly
know the old town."
And he would not. Obliterate the
railroad and its appointments on
the river bank; bring back Kaney
Bright's old stage coach; drop out Of
it fifty odd new buildings and many
alterations and improvements in old
buildings; restore the mud walks
with their distractions; drop out
the steamboats, with their daily Wis
it's and the hustle and business of the
wharf; drop out the water works
and the moss covered bucket of the
fever breeding we'll; drop out the
gas, with its well lighted streets and
its clear cosy fires, and restore the
old coal wagon and the sooty build
ings and the dark lantern style Of
street lights; drop out the fire APP
partus with it's efficient hose and
water power and restore the old
bucket brigade; drop out the new
population, the new blood, the strange
faces, and restore the old moss. backs
to control and the old business place
with its slow and-go-easy methods;
in fact drop out the life of Morgan
town and restore the mummified
carcass Of five or six years ago, and
the worst fossil in town would be
Mortified and proceed to pack his
grip.
Five years ago the erection of q
new building was an event that at.
tracted the attention of the entire
population. Now, when there are
five, ten, or fifteen new building al
ways in process of construction, it is
taken as a matter of course and a
large part of our people don't know
anything about it.
Yes, Morgantown is growing. It's
a good healthy growth. Nothing
fashy or forced, or sensational
about it. The growth is the natural
expansion of conditions which re-
quire it. Every building that is 60
ing up is in demand. Nothing is be-
ing done in anticipation. Not
enough is being done in this direc-
tion or the growth would be faster
and still be healthy. But everything
proceeds on the basis of present
needs. Much of the old time con
servatism remains. Hence we say
that there is absolutely nothing
speculative in our boom; it is healthy
and normal. Or if unhealthy in any
direction it is in the sense of restric-
ton.
The outlook for our town is
specially encouraging. 1t is good,
safe place to invest money. Quicker
returns may be had from investments
where the growth is faster, but there
are few towns where investments are
safer either in property or business
then here. We are sure to continue
to grow, and every year will witness
an accelerated pace over the last.

Some Of the leading papers of the
country that seemed to be opposed

wheeling into line. In reply to some
insinuations as to it's belief the New

AS he would almost certainly be-
Mr.. Cleveland would "prove fail
ure," the World believes that lie
would prove success. He is a
broader, wiser and more expert

even 1888. He possesses in a re-
markablc degree the public conf
dence, even among thoughtful and
conservative men not of his own
