time came to give It to the public. Mr..
Protsman has interested capitalists In the
enterprise, among whom Is W. G. Jutty.
a wealthy coal operator OF Pittsburg. Mr..

points on the road to investigate, as a
practical and cautious man. for himself.
He has that faith IA the road as good
| financial venture as 20 take a million dol
lars of the capitl stock of the road For
business reasons an engineering corps has
been quietly at work on the eastern end
of the line and has located the road from
Uniontown to the mouth of Browns run,
on the Monongahela river. where 1t is ex-
pected to cross. The engineers arrived
here Wednesday.
1T is known as the Uniontown, Waynes-
! burg & West Virginia railroad and the
maps made of 1t show 1t will pass little

sons Station, Crows Mills, thence to
Wheeling, W. Va, where 1t will enter that
city over the terminal
The people of Greene county are ex-
pected to subscribe s25O00O to the
capital stock of the road, and our con-
temporary thinks this sum should be
subscribed with ease within the next
thirty daSs." At meeting of leading
citizens, the promoter explained that
the company was already organized and
backed by men of sound financial
standing, that the cost of construction
and equipment will reach 10000,
and that manufacturing capital had
agreed to erect in the county plants
whose capital would aggregate $780,
900, in the event of the building of the
road. At this meeting $4,000 was at
once subscribed.
All of which will be of considerable
interest to the business men of Wheel
ing, to whose enterprise the proposed
road will open up a territory that Is
largely new. We can say to our
Greene county friends that they will
receive cordial cooperation and en-
couragement in their new enterprise
from this end of the proposed road
which, by the way, will largely cover
the same territory Wheeling capital
aimed to open up by means of similar
enterprise looking to the tapping of the
Pennsylvania coal and coke fields,
which scheme, however, has been al
lowed to lapse.
The u, w. & w. Va. is good thing.
Push it through.

GOLD AND SILVER VALUES.

Hon. A. ]. Warner, of Ohio, says the
wonderful development of gold mining
may obviate any necessity for a return
to free silver coinage because gold in
the not distant future may be quite as
cheap. This leads US naturally to the
conjecture, should this gold develop
ment continue so that the plentifulness
of the yellow metal may make gold
cheaper than silver even with the lat
ter demonetized, that the not dis
tant future may witness a complete re-
versal in the relative positions of the
two money metals and find the present
goldbugs of Wall street turning into
silver bugs and loudly proclaiming
against the Cheap and nasty gold dol
lari
And this is not at all as far fetched a
supposition as it may appear at first
blush, for it is fact that at the present
legal ratio of coinage, before silver was
demonetized the silver dollar was-worth
LAOl z IAdA thO 6Ol0 Ill IAC Oo4iiOh 1ucli
ket and was boarded out of circulation
as gold has been since.
The money kings objected to silver
as money metal only when it became
plentiful or cheap" They would OBJ
ject to gold on the same ground in case
that metal became so plentiful that a
gold dollar would be worth less in the
bullion market than a silver dollar at
the present legal coinage ratio of Is
to /.
Because, don't you see, what the mon
ey kings want is money made king
they are not particular what it is made
of so it is made of something out of the
reach of the masses of the people,
something hard to get, so that money
will be dear and everything else, labor
and the products of the people, cheap.
Dear money, cheap everything else
that is the theory of the goldbug, who,
as we have said would be silyerbug
if the white metal became the more
valuable.

THE PRORARIE REASON

The members of the committee of
the Board of Education are somewhat
disappointed at not receiving an an
swer from Mr.. Andrew Carnegie rela-
tive to the Wheeling library matter,
although three letters have been sent
to his New York address. 1t is prob
able Mr. Carnegie has not received
these letters, as he only left Pittsburg
Thursday night, on the Pennsylvania
limited, for New York, arriving there
yesterday morning.

Now is an excellent time to do your
Christmas shopping.
1t is no secret.

Hundreds of jewelry buyers from the
most remote parts of the city and from
Bellaire, Bridgeport and Martins Ferry
are regular patrons of John Becker &
Co., the jewelers., No. 1927 Jacob street.
Why they will pass other dealers and
suffer slight inconvenience and expense
is not secret Honest representation
and lowest prices are trade bringers for
this firm. 1t is no secret that the place
to buy diamonds most advantag eously
is at Becker & Co.'S. Their stock of
gems is very large, they were bought
before the advance, and they are Offer
ed at the old prices. Becker & Co. S
stock of jewelry, watches and fine sill
yerware for the holiday trade embraces
new staple line and an endless vari-
ETY. of novelties, all of which are offered
at prices which are lowest in the city.
Take car for Beckers. You will get
what you want and may save hundred
times the expense on one purchase.

ALL HONOR TO KENTUCKY DEMO
CRATs

The Kentucky Election Board will
officially announce its decision to-day,
and, it is said, will award the Guberna-
torial commission to Taylor, the Re-
publican candidate.
This will be the best answer to the
threats and loud mouthed bullying of
the Republican leaders who, judging
the Democratic judges and election
commissioners by their own low moral
standard, filed the Kentucky capital
with armed DULLES to intimidate these
officials. Because the Republican lead
ers would unquestionably have stolen
the Kentucky Governorship, had they
been in the places of the Democratic
judges and commissioners, they imme-
diately concluded that the Democrats
would do SO If necessary, since they
had the decision entirely in their own
hands.
The contest was settled strictly &C.
cording to the law and entirely without
partisan bias, which is victory for a
pure ballot and no less a victory for
the Kentucky Democracy, the honor
and integrity of whose leaders is thus
proven in way that the people of
Kentucky can best appreciate.
While it is unfortunate for the State
that the Democracy were defeated and
the same INSCRIPTIONS gang of Repub-
lican freebooters and revolutionists left
in power in it's government, it is none
the less fortunate that the purity of
the ballot in the Blue Grass State has
been thus signally indicated.
The honorable action of the Ken
lucky Democrats, who had the decision
of the case entirely in their own hands,
will not only be keenly appreciated by
the intelligent voters of Kentucky, but
heartily endorsed everywhere. 1t is in
very marked contrast to the conduct
of the Republican leaders, who tried to
carry the election by intimidation on
election day and afterwards resorted to
every dishonorable means in their pow
er to prejudice the case and force a
decision by other than due legal pro-
cess, declaring openly they would not
submit to the election law of the State
We will not go SO far as to say that
all Republican leaders and politicians
are tarred with the same stick, but it
is fact that there is a startling sim
ilarity in their methods, whether they
be in Pennsylvania, Kentucky. or in
our own Mountain State of West vir-
GINA.

II is thought the House Financial
bill fixing the gold standard and Civ
ing the banks control of the volume of
the currency-in short, to place the
finances and business of the country at
the mercy of the money kings of Wall
street-will be damned through before
the Christmas recess. The Republican
caucus has already unanimously ap-
proved it, which, however, was a fore
gone conclusion, since the majority in

Secretary Hay is roundly criticised
for appointing his 23-year-old son, who
has had no training as a diplomat, to
the United States consulship at Pre-
toria made vacant by the recall of Con-
sui Macrum. The responsible
tiles of this office at present are too
great to be shouldered py a mere boy,
whose inexperienee might seriously in

however, that Imperator Mckinley
Secretary of State in carrying out the
"gentleman's agreement" with Joe
Chamberlain finds it necessary to have
some one at Pretoria whom he can
trust implicitly with imperial secrets.

employees will hereafter be paid by the
hour instead of by the day., and they
will be permitted to work more than
eight hours day should they so Sc
lect, has resulted already in a strike of
the $50 men employed at the Durango
Smelter.
The smefer employees say the eight
hour law, which goes into effect June
10Th, must be observed, and they de-
mand the same wages for eight hours
as they have been paid for ten hours.
Notice was posted to-day at all the
smelters of the American Smelling and
Refining Company, and also at the
works of the Philadelphia Smelling and
Refining Company, of an increase in
wages of 10 per cent, restoring the rate
that was paid previous to the panic of
1893 The wages, however, will be
considerably less for eight hours than
have been paid for ten or twelve hours,
and it is possible that general strike
of smelter employees in Colorado num-
bering over 10000, will take place

a position at the saluting point and the
troops marched past to the music of the
massed bands.
