COUNTY ITEMS.
FROM GRAND FORKS.

Fine Weather has gladdcned the hearts
of the ranchers.
Geo. Moulin sold a number of young
cattle to Nincmrc & Morgan last week
They had an exciting Tins getting them
across the river.
The way they are building the road
from Grand Forks to the mouth of the
Wishkah river is an assurance of good
faith OF our county officials.
The farmers are a strange set OF NOR
tails. With potatoes selling at 40 cents IL
sack ard cabbage at - cents hundred
they are still disconnected!
| Commissioner Anstie inspected the
work being done on The county road and
expressed himself as well pleased with
the progress make and gave it as his
opinion that another year will complete
the road and throw it open for travel.
In one OF the gangs working between
Mr.. Borden's and Mr.. Thompson houses
there was q strike the other day, when
four men laid down their tools and wend-
their way home, because they were re-
quircd TO work ten hours. This was
right, as it is an established law that
eight hours constitute Il days work on all
public works and improvements. But
when We consider the attitude Of the
Republican party toward all strikers and
their ceaseless persecution OF all engaged
therein, we fear Tor the peace OF our COM
munity. These strikers were our faith
full, honest gold bugs, but there is now
raging an epidemic Of Populistic fever (as
is ever the case when the Republican
chill strikes home) and these men are
down with it, and nothing but good
dose OF fusion health invieorator will re-
store them again to utter tranquility. The
lower gang is working below the school
house. They are doing extremely WE'LL
1t is said that this is carried on by an
appropriation and the Work is under the
supervision OF cX-SheriH Graham. They
have good material and an energetic
crew. With only one team they are
building at the rate of sixty to seventy
feet per day. The workmen offer no
complaint as to the hours of labor requir-
ed, and claim that Joe as a boss is "way
out Of glt"-aiter passing there several
times we are constrained to say with the
others that he is out OF sight.

The judgment of the federal court at

Among the numerous errors com

Among the numerous errors COM
mitted by the late Legislature one has
been found which leaves the Office Of
labor commissioner without a single
cent with which to pay his salary and
that of his assistants, as well as other
necessary expenses connected with that
office.
The appropriation for the militia
being made to carry into effect chapter
90 of the acts of 1889, and the Legis-
lature having repealed said acts, the
money cannot be paid out, 50 the Ma
tionai Guard must lose the $50, 900
intended for that organization.
Another error has been discovered
relating to the Home for IncurableS,
it having been understood that in ad-
dition to the $4,000 appropriated in
the bill establishing the home that
$4,000 was also placed in the general
appropriation bill, making $4,000 In
all, but such is not the case.
The Legislature at this session pro-
vided that each public institution Of the
State should order and pay for out Of
its own funds all the printing and sta
tionery to be used by said institution,
but it was the opinion of many that it
was intended that the stationery should
be supplied by the contractor who
took the contract last December for
two years from the second Wednesday
in last January to supply all paper and
stationery for the use of the State for
that period, and that the printing
would be done by the public printer,
but Acknowledgement Rucker, to whom
the question was recently submitted
by the commissioners of public print
ing, composed of the auditor, treasurer
and State superintendent Of free
schools, has decided that these several
institutions have the right to purchase
materials and have printing from and
by any one whom they may see fit to
contract with, and that these matters
will not come under the contracts
made in December, thus taking out Of
the hands of these contractors a very
large share of the work and material
for which they contracted.

AFTER much elaboration Governor

AFTER much deliberation Governor
Atkinson has finally selected the nine
men composing the Board of Regents
of the West Virginia University. They
are Col. John A. Robinson, of Miner
al county, for term of four years
James F. Brown, of Kanawha, for two
years; Thomas G. Atkeson, of Putnam
for six years; Richard Randolph Nc
Mahon, of Jefferson, for two years; DR..
A. H. Kunst, of Lewis, for two years +;
Rev. w. E. Powell, of Wood, for six
years Geo. c. Sturgiss, of Monongalia,
for six years James NJ. Hamill, of
Mcdowell, for four years, and John A
Campbell, of Hancock, for four years.
The Governor credits five of these to
the Republicans, viz: Messrs. Kunst,
Powell, Sturgiss, Hamill and Campbell;
two to the National Gold Democrats,
Messrs. Robinson and Brown and two
to the regular Democrats, Messrs. At
keson and Mcmahon
So far as our acquaintance with the
above named gentlemen goes, they are,
with perhaps one exception, we'll quail
flied for the positions they hold, and
we have no doubt will do their very
best for their University. But the
Governor hasn't done much for the
Democratic party in his appointments,
and we want him and the people to
know that he hasn't complied with the
statute. Col. Robinson and Mr.. Brown
were particularly active in their oppo-
sition to Mr.. Bryan last year and vot-
Ell against him as the Wheeling Reg
ister aptly says, they represent par
ty' that didn't carry single precinct
in the United States at the last election.
Mr.. Atkeson may be Democrat Of the
Simon-pure sort, but we would like to
have somebody else to swear to it
unless our memory fails us he has IN
the past gone after strange gods. AS
for Mr.. Mcmahon, while he is man
who will be an excellent member of
the board, he too is Palmer Demo
crat, and it is said voted the straight
Republican ticket last November. Be-
sides he is not resident Of Jefferson
countv-he lives in Washington.
We haven't word to say against
any of the gentlemen referred to, but
we don't want them palmed off as rep
resentative Democrats. Would Gov
ernor Atkinson have honored boiling
Republicans?

IT is not often that an opinion is
rendered in the Supreme Court of the
United States against corporations and
monopolies, but the people have just
scored one victory in the decision that
railroad pools are unlawful combina-
tons. By vote Of five to four the
Supreme Court decided that the agree
ment of the Trans-Missoun Freight
Association to keep up rates was ille-
gal and a restraint to trade, and for
once corporate rapacity gets a setback.
Senator Foraker has promptly in
troduced a bill, however, in the Sen
ate to give the railroads a chance to
reorganize their pools.
