1t is Working Well.

State Superintendent of Free
Schools J. r. Trotter says that little
trouble has been experienced during
the present term in enforcing the
compulsory school law. There have
been a number of cases in several
counties where parents have refused
to send their children to the schools
and where legal steps have been
found necessary to compel them: but
this has not occurred in more thar
half dozen counties, and compare
lively little tronble has been exper-
experienced.

The rivers and harbors committee to-
day directed that a favorable report
be made on Representative Dovenor's
resolution authorizing the secretary
of war to cause survey to be made
Of the West Fork of the Morongahela

A series of locks and dams will be
constructed to enable the small craft
to navigate the stream for the NOV
ing Of coal, timber, and other pro-

tary to the commerce of the Mononga-
hela. Mr.. Doyenor is confident of the
ultimate success Of the project.

ginian-A Slam on their Court house.
His Honor, Judge John Marshall
Hagans, came up from modern
Athens on Monday evening and
opened his Court on the following
morning at 1870 o'clock The Judge
doesn't look as robust as formerly
but he is regaining his strength
slowly and thert is every indication
that in time he will again be hale
and hearty man He is dispatchine
business in the same manner he did
in days of yore, and has already
stricken from the docket a number
of barnacles-cases of years stand,
ing. How long His Honor can hold
out in the miserable place we call
our Courthouse remains to be seen
1t is unfit for well man to be
penned in.
Weare not interested in the ques
ton sWho will be the nominee in
the Second district but we dc
know, from personal contact with
the voters, that no Morgantown OIL
Fairmont man-Democrat or Repub
lican, can get the support of the vo
ters of Warrington district-Man'
nington Adpocatc.
The editor of the Advocate may
think he knows the sentiment of the
people of Warrington district, but
we feel sure that he does not. There
are no more loyal Republicans any
where than those of that part of the
county, and they are too intelligent
to withhold their support from a
candidate of their party because he
happens to bea Morgantown or Fair
mont man The Democrats of the
Advocates bailiwick may do as the
editor says they will, but we are not
afraid of the Republicans making
such a mistake. They are not built
that way. They are Republicans be
cause they believe that Republican
ism is right.
