ex-governor Jackson retires from
the Senatorial contest with II sore
head.
He intimates that German proved
faithless in the roundup.
This, of course. is very ungracious
in German. but it is with him settled
policy to tuln old hacks out to grass
when he thinks they have survived
their usefulness.
In .Jackson's case it is too bad. for
German was never served by Il more
plant and earnest implement.
In his last message, for instance, he
bewailed the loss to Mr.. German of
both the B. Il o. RS increase of stock
and the litigation which kept the C. 4
o. canal out of the hands Of the West
Va. Central railroad.
In each case he played the part of

Let Us Have Il Change Anyhow.
To get good roads and maintain
them in good repair the people must
determine

taxation for the purpose, and
,, To get the money thus realized
applied wholly and intelligently to
the roads
Inasmuch as the county has Il
general road supervisor, why not try
the plan Of putting the repairs out by
contract
The supervisor would be able in all
eases, or ought to be, to determine
whether the work done was equal to
the requirements.
1t is believed that under that system
800 would go as far as 5000 now.
For it is certaip that the policy of
good pay for poor work, or no work,
is a failure.
And that good pay for good work
could not possibly make matters
worse.
Chance to Find Something that is Not

Leigcr has seen wonderful improvements in
the press of Alegany eounty.-Ledwf.
And in the press outside Of Allie
gany county.
And i'll many departments of in

The Clarksburg CIV. Va.) 7r"h
wants to know:
How long does a man have to live here
(Clarksburg) and how many buildings and
other improvements does he have to make
before he is to be considered as having the
same rights as fogy natives?
Cannot answer for Clarksburg, but
in some other burgs he never gets

wood or run a paper.

peoples spare money. he goes up head

UnSanctificd MartyrlOm
1t is said that John Bardsley, the
defaulting Philadelphia treasurer. is
literally suffering matryrdom for men
whose names he will not betray.
What of Stevenson Archer?
And who to-day are riding high on

his deep and deepening disgrace?
