Merit Always wins.

The hard times Of tho past three or four
years have been very destructive to all in-
dustriRl affairs, and the railways have had
40 unusual amount of difficulty in making
both ends meet. Roads that have, during
this trying period, earned dividends while
ut the same time affording high class trans-
portation facilities to their patrons, have,
indeed, been fortunate. And such an event
speaks well for the management of the
roads.
The record of the Nickel Plate road dur
ing the recent period of industrial depres-
sion has indeed been remarkable, and IL
speaks most eloquently of the conservative
judgment of the managers. For this road
has made great and steady progress in the
material improvement of its roadway and
appliances, and in perfectiDg its equip
ment. The interests of the public have
been in nowse neglected; in fact, the suc-
cess. of this road has Injured to the benefit
Of the public as much, if not more, than to
the tockholders. The condition of the road
today shows this. Great and valuable i'm
provements OF permanent character have
been made-in the shape of strengthening
the roadway, bridges, and other accessories,
and procuring new and improved safety APP
pliances; new coaches have beep added, ele-
giant Wagner sleeping cars pubXn, new and
powerful engines have been placed in serv-
ice, and everything has been done to raise
the standard of the road, to perfect its serv-
ice, and to give it a leading place among the
best roads in the country. The result has
been obvious. The people have observed the
progressive spirit of this road have given it
liberal patronage, have enjoyed its excel
| lent facilities, and that tells the whole story
OF highly successful enterprise.
Among the most noteworthy improve
ments effected by the Nickel Plate route ID
the introduction of frst-class dining car
service which has won the approval Of the
best class of patrons. Then the coaches
have been illuminated by the brilliant
| Pintsch gas, heated by steam, and placed
in the care, of a. coored porter. So tho
passengers have had the best that money
can afford, at the lowest rates.
The through train service of the Nickel
Plate, running in connection with the West
Shore and Fitehburg railroads-over the
great Hoosac Tunnel route, between New
York, Boston and Chicago, ranks with tho
best in the country, and has become de-
servedly popular. Elegant new coaches, and
palatial Wagner buffet sleeping cars run
through without change; the service is un-
excelled, the time fast, the scenery most
fascinating.
Located along the south shore of Lake
Erie are many substantial and attractive
summer resorts that are yearly growing in
popularity, and this class of travel promises
a continually increasing source of revenue to
the Nickel Plate road

o. s. Mckinney For Congress.

Hon. Owen S. Mckinney, Speaker
of the House in the last Legislature,
is most prominently spoken OF as a
candidate for Congress in this district.
Mr., Mckinney would make very
strong candidate. He has the ability,
tact and political experience to make
him strong before the people and an
Influential member in Congress. AS
a member of the last Legislature, and
by virtue of his Office, the leader Of
his party, his service was such as to
win the golden opinions of his col
leagues, while his dignity and abso-
Lutte fairness were acknowledged and
appreciated by his political opponents.
Mr. Mckinney is not ayerse to max
ing the race, and we think it would
be no mistake to make him the unaD-
imous choice of the Democrats of the
district. Charles Town Advocate.

C0LoRED VOTERS MAD.
will Hold Convention at Parkersburg
to Protest.

A peculiar rumpus has been created
in Republican circles over the State
by the action Of colored Republican
clubs wherever they exist. They are
rallying their forces for big conven-
ton, which is to be held in April at
Parkersburg, for the purpose of taking
such steps as will result in the acqui-
sition of certain political rights which
the colored voters declare they do not
now enjoy.
The trouble was created, it is said,
by the refusal of Warden Hawk, OF
the penitentiary, to give employment
to colored supply guard, Samuel
johnson, when il was in his power to
do SO. Johnson declares he has had
but four days work in two months.
The alleged bad treatment of some
colored prisoners by Captain Reese, of
the penitentiary guards, is another
reason why the colored Republican
voters of the State are becoming
aroused. They declare their inten-
tion OF taking such steps as will re-
suit in their securing greater recogni-
tior, especially in the distribution Of
official patronage.

COMPROMISE CANDIDATE
For Governor now Sought by Elkins

Another quick turn has been taken
in the bitter Republican fight over
the nomination for Governor. As a
result OF the meeting OF independent
Republicans which was held at Wash
ington the early part OF the week to
endorse the candidacy Of Congressman
Freer, meeting of machine leaders
was held at Washington Friday, the
result OF this being that the nomi-
nation was rendered to j. Il. Caldwell
Of Huntington, as a compromise cam
didate. Caldwell was in Washington
at the time and created sensation
by declaring that he intended to
stand by Freer
| AS the matter stands, il the Elkins
people are not able to effect a compr0-
mise of some kind with Judge Freer
the chances for Elkias going hack to
the Senate from West Virginia are
pretty slim.
As it is, it Is thought Senator Eli
kins will either have to sacraflce
