An Appeal to the Courts.
We appeal to the honorable judges Of our
courts, who have so often interposed in de-
Tense of the imperilled interests OF society,
whether in view of the facts detailed in this
paper there is not reason to instruct the
grand jury to inquire and report If 1t be
true that the Department OF Public Safety
OF the city of Pittsburs is administering our
government in open disregard OF leglsla-
tive enactments by fostering and regulating
instead of suppresSiug diorderly houses and
illegal liquor selling therein.
We appeal, further, to the people or sober
sense and moral convictions to not permit
their minds to be Influenced by the wanton
and groundless assaults made upon our con-
duct in seeking to secure the enforcement
OF the law for the protection of society. we
promise law-abiding and decency-lov1ng
people everywhere that we will persist IN
our efforts to turn back the Nde OF tmmor-
atty that has set in and is threatening to
submerge our city and our country, and we
invite them to stand with US in behalf or
righteousness. W. /. WIsHART,
President.

travel lay along the northern and southern
borders of the triangular-shaped State, and
population and trade swept heedlessly bv,
unaware of the capabilities of her soil, the
extent and value of her forests, or the mex
haustible wealth OF her vast mineral de-
posits
Impossible to Exsggerate.
"While this is not now true to the extent
1t was q score of years ago, while capital
and industry have recently penetrated even
to the heart of the State and are now de-
veloping her hidden riches with tremendous
energy, the vast possibilities of the State
are as vet scarcely realized, her richest
mineral regions are practically unexplored,
her great stores of iron and coal are COM
parstlveIy untouched, and of the 16, ,640, 900
acres of land in the State probably 5000, 900
acres are still in the virgin forest. 1t
would, in truth, be impossible to exsgger-
ate the unequaled opportunities which
West Virginia presents, therefore, to cap
ital and every kind of manufacturing and
commercial enterprise. No other State in
the Union, in INV Judgment, possesses to-
day such cheap and abundant raw materials
or offers such conspicuous opportunities for
safe and profitable investment of capital.
'1n 1868, when the State of West Vir-
einia was organized" the Governor con-

incidental market for large quantities of
general merchandise. PitSburg is the
natural headquarters for all of this bust
ness, and with anything like an even
chance will get the great bulk OF it"
Speedy and Profitable Transactions.
Secretary Of State Obey is equally en-
thusisstic with his chief over the develop
ment of the States great deposits of natural
wealth. In conversation with THE DIS
PATCH correspondent he said: Gail that
is really needed for any section of West
Virginia is to have attention called to its
advantages The first investors in any
Virginia region often treble their money
without scarcely turning hand. Coal or
timber land is sometimes bought for $40 an
acVe and sold few weeks later for $50 or
$40 to people who make an even larger
profit by developing it
There is no question:" continued Mr..
Oley, that our people have q decided
preference for trade and communication
with Pittsburg. The interests of Western
Pennsylvania and West Virginia are as
nearly the same as possible, and q close
connection cannot fail to be of mutual
benefit"
These utterances express the feelings of
many others prominent in the war-born
State. The desire for q more intimate
connection with Pittsburg is general The
means necessary to attain the end The
DISPATCH proposes to ascertain and pre-
sent to the public BANCROFT.

AGAINST A COMPROMISE.

The Allegheny Reform Association Asks
Councils to Compel the Street Railways
to Pay the CIty-A Series Of Red-Hot
Resolutions.
The Allegheny Reform Association is
after the traction roads that owe money to
the city. At meeting last evening the
following resolution was adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t appears from the public
prints that according to the report of the
Auditing Committee there is due the city
from certain passenger railways and trac-
ton companies, for taxes and other charges
the sum OF. approximately, $23a, COO, and it is
now proposed to compromise the payments
OF these claims for, approximately, 81, ,OO0;
and
Whereas, Estimating the taxable valua-
t1on of the city at S75, 900, 000 the payment OF
the amount claimed to be due the city
would be equal to a reduction OF three mills
in the tax levy for one year, and
Whereas, 1t appears that there has been
no proceedings Instituted by the city for the
recovery ofany part OF these claims, and
that the proposed compromise from the cor
porations referred to without attempting
to affirm or deny any of the statements
made by the officials oil the city or the cor
porations as to the justice or injustice OF
the claim, ordinary business shrewdness
would suggest that when such a large
amount is involved that every effort should
proper court, cas- debts OF like amount are
by law recoverable" when all the iacts, as
well as the law in the case will he properly
presented and considered, and it is only
justice to the taxpayers that this be done,
so that they may know what official or
officials Of the clty are responsible for this
condition OF affairs.
1t was then ordered that the Mayor pre-
sent to Councils q resolution authorizing
the City Solicitor to institute proceedings
at once against the street railway compa-
nies and to admit the lawyers OF the asso-
citation into the case to see that "no guilty
man escaped" II proceedings are not
started in a reasonable time the officers of
the association will take steps to compel
Councils to act and to prevent any COM
promise, if it is attempted. Until the in
debtedness of the companies to the city is
settled the association will protest against
granting any new franchises, or making any
changes

the article published in The DISPATCH

that the family left Mr.. Srtayer's burial to
others. This is not so, and the greater
part of the funeral expenses was borne by
P. Strayer. The Rev. Mr.. Strayer, besides
his purely literary pursuits, was practical
newspaper man. and the paper he conducted
at Brownsville called The Three Io1cHs
is still remembered. Recently Robert
