The Wheeling authorities have
charged excessive Wharfage so long
that It would be good policy on their
part-1uSt to show that there are no

The citizens OF the upper Mononga-
heln valley are working earnestly for
the freeing Of the Monongahela river
The delegation from Mosgantcwn and
FaIrmont, which appeared before the
house committee at Washington this
week, seems TO have sized UP the situa-
ton very well. Rlvermen here contend
that the point made by Governor Flem-
Ing. OF West Virginia, that II the river
was improved to Fairmont 1t would
decrease. rather than increase, the
value OF the plant OF the navigation
company was well taken. He argued
that the navigation company is pro-
hIbited by law from charging for
freight sent from the state OF West
Virginia into Pennsylvania. Rivermen
agree that this is q point which has
never been decided In law. Capt. w.
r. Rodgers also agrees that the point
is well taken, and II such is the case
all southern states would be justified
in demanding the same rights.-Chroni-
cle-Telegraph.
