AN IDEAL NEWSPAPER.
The Pittsburg Dispatch the best news
Gatherer in all this SectiOn.

Among the many daily newspapers
which reach Morgantown the Pitts
burg Dispatch takes high rank. Its
news gatherers are in every nook
and Granny of the world and the i'm
portant happenings of the entire
globe are served up every day in q
fresh crisp entertaining style. Dur
ing the war which has just closed it
maintained it's lead of journalism in
the section which it covers and
gained thousands of new readers.
This reputation is to be kept up &C.
cording to the promises of its pub
fishers.
The Dispatch is the ideal newspa-
per in both the arrangement of it's
news and the manner in which the
news is served up. 1t is ever for the
people. Ever independent, aggres-
sive and enterprising it deserves the
large and growing patronage of the
reading public which it is fortunate
enough to constantly receive.

We publish 10 another column an
article setting forth in very clear
concisr and conservative manner the
reasons upon which the people OF
this county base their demand for a
free bridge across the Monongahela
The County Commissioners seem
to be still quibbling over this plain
duty.
! They seem to be incapable of tax
ing broad, statesmanlike and pa
triotic view of matter that involves
more directly and seriously the wei
far Of this court y than any ques-
ton that has ever been committed
to that court.
They seem disposed still to higgle
and delay relief from public evil
that for more than a generation has
through their stupidity and lack OF
even horse sense, been eating at the
very vitals oil our business prospect
ty.
The time has now come fM the
property. holders and business men
of this county to assert themselves.
IT they can longer remain passive
and inert uuder this great wrong
aud this criminal neglect of their
official servants we very much mis-
take the temper of this population.
III this session of the conunty
commissioners is adjourned without
action there ought to be public
convention of the people of this
county called at once Two lines of
action are open to lis and enc or the
other ought to be taken and pushed
to swift consummation.
Either the power Of the people or
power of the courts ought to. be
adopted as the agency to upturn and
overturn and send out of Office this
incompetent tribunal with the ban
of public condemnation resting up
on it.
If the former course is adopted,
let a public convention demand their
resignation. If they do not imme-
diately respond, then, there is a
good round majority OF this people
who will see that in due time they
are retired to ohscurity never again
to occupy public office.
If the latter course is selected, let
the best legal talent to obtain from
the courts legal process to compel
this derelict tribunal to discharge
its plain duty to the public.
The time for fol de-rol and fustian
has passed.
If the people of this county dc
not now arouse and assert their
rights they will not deserve relief.

Booker t. Washington, principal
of the Tuskegee, Ala, industrial
school, and who as boy worked in
the coal mines around Charleston, is
making a name for himself as a
truly progressive man that will out
shine Douglas and the Others gone
before His doctrine of educa-
ton and religion are doing more for
his people than office-seeking. Prof.
Washington's theory of education
is of the practical kind-not book
learning, so much as the rudiments
combined with muscle and the de
sire to put both to good use.
