Concerning the Outlawry Below the
KanaWha.

Concerning the Outlawry Below the
KanaWha.
Some of our neighboring ex-
changes parade in great glee the era
of criminal misbehavior that is going
on below Kanawha. What they say
is largely true, but the charge that
these men are not brought to JUS
tice is untrue. The penitentiary
walls now have a number of these
outlaws behind them, and several
more are now in our Jail awaiting
trial by our Circuit Court, and they
will make the trip too. Our Off
GERS are on the alert, and but few
guilty men escape. Perhaps this
community is no worse than many
other communities, but it is worse
than it ought to be How to stamp
out the bad set that has found its
way to the lower side of Kanawha,
is a serious matter, as it will not do
to resort to lynch law, although
that would seem to be the proper
thing in some cases. Crime is ram
pant on that side of the river, and
it must be stamped out. Our off
GERS are doing all they can in that
direction. Then what is the
remedy?

is delinquent; even odds he never
does anything that will assist the

The Mails.

The local mail that now goes up
on the $50 a m. train does not meet
the demands of the business people
between Huntington and Parkers-
burg. This train should carry the
through mails from Huntington to
Wheeling; and the trains that ar
rives here at noon from Wheeling
and from Huntington, should de-
liver the local mails. The depart
ment would do the proper thing for
the public, by transferring the
Postal Clerks to the noon trains.

Governor Altgeld of Illinois has
been abused so roundly that when
he does himself credit, praise should
not be withheld. Governor Alt
geld's Grafton at Chickamauga con
tains numerous epigrams of thought
and expression. He says that
monuments give perpetual ex-
preston to sentiment which Ian
guage is too limited to portray and
too ephemeral 10 preserve" The
world erects monuments "not as a
solaco for the dead but as an in
spiration for the living" Monu-
ments are "milestones not of space
but of time" They are erected "to
mark the successive upward move
ments of the human race" He
said, speaking of the places where
the soldiers died and of the head
stones in the national cemeteries ::
alt is not their graves, it is their
deeds that live. Men look toward
the armament for the names of
heroes, and rarely ask where their
bones are buried"

The American people have an
innate admiration for fraukness and
courage in political bodies and pub
lie men. They have a hearty detes-
tation for moral cowardice. They
despise evasion or equivocation
when important issues are at stake.
They are broad enough and tolerant
enough to respect an open and
honest foe even when the priciples
he avows may be pernicious. Can
