The war among the Republicans
over the appointment of Editor ). H.
Grove as postmaster at Harper's Fer
nv wakes warmer, and though the ap-
pointment has been actually made Mr..
Grove may yet be deprived of the Of
fee. The whole trouble is of a pollt-
seal nature. Mr.. Grove is not only a
newcomer in the county, but was
Democrat until few years ago. His
paper supported the Republican ticket
last year, and in return Congressman
Dayton promised him the postoffice'
The old-time Republicans are kicking
because the promise has been carried
out, and it is said have filed protest
with the Postmaster. General against
the appointment. Mr.. VIM, L. Black
a brother of Col. G. w. 2. Black and a
son.in-law Of the old Republican war
horse, Mr.. Geo. W. Koonce, was an
applicant for the Office, and the regu-
lars think he ought to have it. They
say that if their protest to the Post
master-General is not needed they will
make a fight against confirmation te-
fore the United States Senate next
winter.
There is war in the camp, and the
Democrats at Harper's Ferry are just
enjoying themselves.

A BRIEF dispatch from Charleston
says that the trustees Of the State
school fund have invested 100000 of
this precious money in bonds of the
Little Kanawha Railroad. We don t
know the circumstances surrounding
the transaction, but it seems to US that
it is very risky thing to put so many
eggs in one basket-and such basket.
The Little Kanawha Railroad is a sort
of one-horse line to run from Park
ersburg to point in Gilmer county,
and only seven miles of it is complet-
ed. It's bonds may be all right, but
then again they may be like those OF
about nine-tenths Of the railroads in
the country, utterly worthless. At
anv rate, we believe that there are
plenty of better investments than the
bonds of speculative enterprise like
the one referred to.

Failure at Martinsburg.

The Martiusburg Improvement,
Loan and Building Association has
failed, involving probable loss to the
stockholders of 100000. The associ-
alton was unable to redeem It's stock
on demand and was thus compelled to
assign to avoid a multiplicity Of suits
or the appointment of receiver. Full
control, with authority to continue or
close up the business and sell the prop
erty Of the association, is given the
trustees, who are Adrian c. MAIDEN
bousch and c. A. Young. The total
liability to bank and individuals is es-
timated at $53, 900, to meet which the
association has real estate and loans
on security considered good estimated
at nearly an equal amount. Besides
the association has $4,000 invested
in the Brooklyn Brass Works and the
Auburn Wagon Company, and it was
due primarily to their inability to pay
the interest promptly that caused the
failure. The only chance of the stock
holders is that the association will re-
alize the full amount of its loans to
these two industries, both Of which are
now in the hands of receivers, but are
operating successfully at present.
Very little fault is attributed to the
management of the association fol- its
failune. The object of its organiza-
ton was to establish new industries at
Martinsburg after the removal of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany's shops and division, and nearly
all of its money was loaned to one or
the other Of those secured, and the fall

THERE ARE RUMoRs AND RUMORS.

In last Mondays issue of the ''News
and Courier" Mr.. August hohn, the
able Columbia correspondent in
dulges in a lot of speculation with
regard to the difficulty in running
down bribery in the Dispensary
transactions. He illustrates by sup
posing very lngeniously,a transaction
between s'The Make Money Distilling
Company" and "A1r. Boodle." 4
member of the State Board Of Control;
in this Illustration he shows that 1t
is almost impossible to catch a man
who has made up his mind to be a
rascal; then he goes on to speak OF
the various rumors aAoat. We agree
with this correspondent, if a member
OF the Board is bribed with cash, 1t
will be hard to find it out, but if we
are to take rumors as starting basis
it would be good idea to find out
whether there is any truth IN the re-
port of an official, an ex-official and
others being engaged in a game
of poker with a representative OF a
liquor house, and IN that game sever
al hundred dollars was won by the
official, ex-offcial and others; the
report says, the liquor man
man was Dun fer, to considerable
sum, but he was consoled with heavy
orders from the board. II this re-
port be true it strikes US as shrewd
way of receiving bribes. Then an
other report is, man once connected
with the Dispensary, and who be-
fore his connection with the instltu-
tion was very poor, has since been
able to go to at least one OF the Co.
lumbia banks and have lot of one
hundred dollar bills changed for
smaller ones. OF course, if man
has large bills he has right to have
them changed for smaller ones, but
in these hard times when mans
finances ale about as we'll known to
the public as to himself and 1t IS
known that before he held certain
position he could not handle SlOO
bills, but does now, it at least
makes curious people suspicious and
they wonder where, and how did he
make the raise? Especially SO, when
the whole country has been stirred
up with all manner of charges of
corruption in connection with the
Dispensary management. II a
whiskey drummer sat down and al
lowed a party having a 'pull" with
the purchasing power OF the Board
to win lot of money, he did it pur-
posely and with the intention to buy
the services of the men with the
"pull," and if such things have oc-
Cured they should be, together with
the names of the parties exposed. If
former or present attaehe of the
Dispensary is found out to be hand.

money, we think under existing con-
ditions. the authorities could with all
propriety make inquiries into the
source from which it came.
