that the Nicaragua canal amendment
will drag 1t down to defeat. This would
be a calamity for this community, as
the bill carries with It an appropria-
ton for half a million dollars for the
lock and dam below this port. How
ever, the rivermen hope that Captain
Dovener, who has accomplished more
for the Ohio valley than any other con-
gresham from this section, will be able
to get the local appropriation through.

THE RAILROADS.

The recent purchase Of $4,000 tons of
S. pound steel rail by the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad brings the total amunt of
rail bought since March 1st. 1896. up to
115.300 tons, enough to relay $40 miles of
track. or the new rail ordered, 5000
tons is to be laid on the lines west of the
Ohio river. and 10000 tons Is to be used
as follows:
Forty-four miles on the Philadelphia
division.
Eleven miles on the second division.
Thirteen miles on the third division.
Thirty miles on the fourth division.
Twenty-One miles on the fifth division.
Ten miles on the ConnellsvIlle division.
Twcnty-one miles on the Pittsburgh
division.
Much OF the rail that will be taken up
is still good enough to be rclaid on
branches where traffic Is not heavy.
The Southwestern division, between
Parkersburg and st. Louis, will have
10000 tons OF rail to lay this spring.

GIRLS INDUSTRIAL.
Home Directors Meet at Salem
and Organize for the Year
BY ELEcTING THE OFFICERS.
There nrc now Accommodations for
Twenty-Five Inmates : Miss Eliza
beth CIohan, Of This City, Elected
Superintendent Is The Home will
Open on the First of Next Month.
An Appeal for Contributions.

DR.. Harriet 3. Jones, OF this city,
president o. the board OF directors OF
the West Virginia State Girls Indus
trial Home, located at Salem. In Harrl-
son county, returned yesterday, after
having attended meeting of the board
at which the officers for the ensuing
year were elected. The present board
Is composed of DR.. Harriet B. Jones, OF
Wheeling, president; Mrs. N. r. C. Nor
row, OF Falrmont. secretary; Stlllman
Young, OF Gaines, treasurer; John Cum
minis, OF Wheeling, all OF whom were
present. and Mrs. r. S. Gardner, OF
Clarksburg, and Bernard L. Butcher, Of
Fairmont.
The board differed the home for the
first year OF Its existence by the cleo
ton of the following:
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Elizabeth Clo-
han. OF Wheeling.
Housekeeper-Mrs. ophella Trlppett.
Seamstress-Miss Mary L. Davis, OF
Weston.
The superintendent, Miss Elizabeth
Clohan, is as well and favorably known
as any woman In Wheeling, and in he's
selection the board has surely made no
mistake. For several years she has
been the highly efficient principal of
Clay school. and few women in the edu-
cational profession stand higher. Her
resignation as principal OF Clay school
was handed In to the Clay commission
ers yesterday morning and went Into
effect Immediately. She will leave for
Salem In few days TO prepare the
girls home for Its opening on the first
or next month. Her departure from
thls city Will be regretted universally.
The board OF directors let the contract
Tor the new wing to A. ]. Watson, of
Salem. for $4,000, A gardeners cottage
IS also to be built this spring, and a
new and handsome fence will enclose
the grounds. Other contracts. for sew
erage. plumbing. etc.. will be let later.
The present building has capacity
Tor twenty-five inmates, and 1t will
doubtless be filled to Its capacity very
soon. Admission to the home Is
through the same process as applies for
admission to the state reform school for
boys at Pruntytown. The girls will be
taught to cook, bake. wash, iron aud
sew. and will be given a good common
school education.
The state appropriation for the school
was not so large rs could be used to
advantage, and II there are any citizens
OF the state desiring to donate money
for the purchase OF books or pictures,
the contributions viii be gratefully re-
ceived By President Jones, of this city,
or by Miss Clohan, the superintendent.

Mr.. Farley Indignant,

The power OF the press is indeed
mighty where pens are strangers to the
truth. and the victim is n poor man
minus money to institute n libel suit.
Thus thought MIR. James Farley last
evening. as he failed to see the correc-
ton OF untruths concerning him. as
promised by n reporter for the News
yesterday morning. Not line concern
Ing him appeared In the papers first
edition. but In the later one there was
the characteristic mass OF lies and Il
plain cndeavor to hold Mr.. Farley up to
further r!dicule. for to have put the ar
tlcle In the first edition would have re-
qulrcd an explanation In the second. 1t
Isn't very likely the News will do Mr..
Farley justice this evening. even
though more promises may be made
him. IF wasn't poor man." said
Mr.. Farley last night. IT would see IL
the courts couldn't compel published
lies to be denied"

Hon. !. {. <. Blackburn.

Whatever else the fates may decree in
the shape of results of the Kentucky
campaign, The Post hopes for the cleo
tion of legislature that will return Jo-
seph c. 5. Blackburn to the Senate. Out
side of Kentucky, and beyond the influ-
ence of the consuming heat of its fac
tional strife, there is desire for Black
burns return that is not confined to his
own political brethren. Knowing Ken
lucky to be a Democratic Commonwealth.
and believing Blackburn to be its fittest
representative in the Senate, prominert
Republicans in every State and sect
desire his return. During his ten yes
OF service in the House of Representa-
tives and twelve years in the upper
chamber he won the respect. confidence.
and friendly regard of the best men of all
parties for his manly courage in contend
ing for what he believed TO be right. for
his strength as an advocate of his party's
policies, for his lofty scorn of hypocrisy
and for his answering fidelity TO his
friends He is so constituted that he can
not help despising cant, no matter how
distinguished the source from which il
emanates. He is so sincere that he can
not help speaking right out in meeting. ."
Those and other good qualities that 90 TO
make up his intellectual equipment ex-
plain the widespread interest in Black
burns political fortunes.
Outside of Kentucky it is not at all Diff
hcult to understand the political neces-
sity that compelled the ex-senator 10 sup
port the Goebel ticket. The Post has had
Its say of Goebel and his methods. and
has nothing TO retract. But there is said
to be good ground for the belief that.
whatever may be in store for Goebel the
legislature will be Democratic by consid-
cradle majority. In that event Blackburn
should, and we cannot doubt will. be re-
turned 10 the scene of his faithful and
successful labors for his State and his
country.
