A good many people don't accom-.

Head faith believes Christ died for

Heart faith believes he died for me,

Nothing but the right can ever be

There was never a time when sound
and thorough Christian education was
more needed than now, f,r there was
never a time of created peril to the
young. The wonderful and material
progress of the age has multiplied the
sources of wealth, the means of indul-
gence, and the tendencies to sensual,
earth-bound life. The popular falla-
cies, shallow negations and reckless
ironies of our modern life have struck
at the very roots of reverence and faith.
The spirit of license and innovation is
abroad. and infidelity, like the pesti-
lence that walketh in darkness, makes
itself felt at every pore of the moral
and social system. Old and time-hon-
ored institutions have been abandoned,

AN ,mpoRrAar ROAD
May he the Outcome OF the Bridge Which
Is to be Built Mt Marietta


Is to be Built Mt Marietta.
Ellen borough, W. Va, Dece ember II.
Several days ago it was an
nounced that the Marietta and Will
iamstown Bridge Co had been granted
charter capitalizet ut s5OOoOO and
500, 600 paid in. Ibis bridge means
much to Central Vest Virginia and is
only the initial step to great develop
ment throug hout the State. Several
wears ago corporation styled the Ohio
4 West Virginia Southern Railway Co
made careful survey OF the route
from Wiiliamstown. W. Va, through
Wood. Ritchie. Calhoun, Gilmer and
Baxter counties on to where the pro-
posed road would interscct the Chesa-
peal<e & Ohio railroad, and found the
route practical aud the shortest route
to the seaboard. Much of the country
adj iacent to the road is rich in timber
and mineral wealth. aud aside from
the vast through traffic the road would
receive by being an air line, the i'm
lll'llSt tt DbsIAN VI NOtAt t''iNt 80 . ~ 'p'
ests of timberwould afford an unusually
lucrative source of revenue and would
go far toward putting the road on Il
paying basis at an early day. In Gill
mer county there are rich coal fields
that cannot be- worked profitably ow-
ing to the excessive cost of transporta-
and railroad would create an era of
wealth and prosperity for that county.
While the old survey passes through
this county intersecting the Baltimore
& Ohio road near CORVALLIS, the new
route will likely cross at Cairo, and
connect with the Carlo & Kanawha
Valley railroad and possibly absorb or
consolidate with it, which consists of
twenty-five miles of splendid narrow
guage track, that couldVbe widened to
standard guage track without great
deal of expense.
The new enterprise would extend
and greatly facilitate the operations
for oil in the State, as it would open
up a section of country that is now al
most inaccessible, owing to the excess
i've cost of transporting drilling ma
terial and machinery. At Marietta the
new road would likely connect with
the GAINESVILLE IG Ohio River railroad
and thence on TO the great lakes MAX
ing the road an important air line
route from the lakes TO the Atlantic
The Importance of such a railroad can
scarcely be estimated now, and the
promoters would haye no trouble in
inducing capitalists to invest in what
promises to be one of the most protita-
BILE routes on the continent. The res
dents of the counties in West Virginia
through which the road will pass will
certainly hail the advent of the iron
horse with delight and subscribe gen
erously.

The credit asked for by the French
government to meet the expenses of
the czar and czarina's visit to Paris was
granted by the chamber of deputies
Thursday by vote of 1876 to 21. Be-

by vote of 346 to 1856, rejected a so-
cialist amendment to add to the credit
1000, 600 francs to be devoted to the aid
of the unemployed.
Among the passengers on the steam

THE announcement Friday of the de-
termination of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations to report reso-
luton recognizing the independence of
Cuba and practically Offering this coun-
try's support in the war with Spain
created a sensation from ocean to ocean.
1t but emphasizes the fact that the
sympathies of the entire liberty-loving
people of America are with the long
suffering insurgents. Should Congress
pass the resolution Spain will be left
to take her choice of whipping by
either Cuba or the United States-or
perhaps by both.

THE Cameron resolution, recognizing
the right of Cuba TO be an independent

will adopt the resolution.

He claims to base this resolution on no
better foundation than that the vote
of number of states carried by Nc
Kinley was largely in excess of what
were cast in 1892, when every well-in-

elected by the stay-at-home republican
votes, and not because the majority of
the voters of a number of states he
carried were for him. This year the
stay at home vote of '92 was east solid

Chairman Dingley, of the House
Ways and Means committee, has no
idea why the story was started that it
was intended to try to pass the tariff
bill upon which the committee is now
working at the present session of Con-
gress, and says that neither himself
nor any other republican has contem-
plated passing the bill at this session,
for the very good reason that it would
simply be wasting time for the House
to pass the bill knowing that it hadn't
possible chance to get through the
Senate The bill is being prepared to
be passed at the extra session of Con-
gress, which will meet shortly after
President McKinley's Inauguration,
and the republican members of the
committee will work right along
through the Christmas recess in order
to get the bill in shape as soon as pos
sible. The hearings, which are to last
two weeks will begin during Christmas

The fact that Congress adopted with
out opposition in either branch the
joint resolution providing for a recess
from December % to January >, was
notice to the country that it wasn't 60

meetings in various sections of the
country. The Senate also showed it's
good sense when it adopted resolu-
tion calling on the President for all of

corning Cuba, instead of some of the

fered. Something will have to be done
