The past week the home folks were
visiting in the city, and / domiciled at
the Commercial. The hotel, of even
ings, was enlivened by the presence
of travellers, commercial and other
wise, and their talk at times was in
teresting, entertaining and instructive
to one whose evenings are rarely
away from bis own ire-side. There
were men from the far north, the
woody west, the cultured east and the
sunny south, and their diseourses-
apart from mere "trade"-never lack
ed interest. But the only subject l
will here recall is that which relates to
our own town-Ironton. All the
speakers were loud in their praise
of the Valley as the Creator had fash
toned it but mans addendum in the
approaches to its precincts came in
for no little objection and criticism.
The subject of "good roads" in posse
was forcibly discussed and animated
ly presented through our bad roads
in esse. They all agreed that, without
the necessary ~wherewithal, it was a
condition to be tolerated because of
necessity, and that time-that untir-
ing healer of sill wrongs and grew
ances-would eventually cure even
this dire defect. But there was one
grievance debated without a qualify
ing "if'' or "an": the disregard of the
railroad company for the convenience
and welfare of its patrons, as they
put it. The bill of particulars as CIV
eh by one of the "kickers" was as
follows: ct left st. Louis yesterday
afternoon, arriving here at 10 P. M,
No. 9 running unusually close to
schedule, as it happened. I stole so
much of Sunday in order to begin
work here Monday morning. 0, l

was told my luggage was on the train
but it could not be put off here for
there was no night agent to receive it.
However, if I surrendered my checks
to the porter with a fee he would take
them to the baggage master and have
the trunks thrown out to me and the
company's responsibility for them
then and there would terminate. And
so it was arranged; but to me it was
an annoying and worrying transaction.
Happily, I found a hack awaiting the
uncertain arrival of the train. 9th
erwise, I suppose I would have had to
stand guard over my belongings all
night; or if the porter had failed to
fulfil his part of the contract they
would have gone on down to Dixie,
leaving me without evidence of my
possession. 1t occurs to me that, for
a town of this size-and a county-seat.
too, I am told-you are shabbily treat
ed by the railway. A night telegram
sent here, though it be upon matter
of life and death, is not received, but
must lie over until next day. Guaran-
teeing expense of immediate delivery
from the Office can do no good, for
there is nc operator here to respond
to the call of the sender. You people
may have become used to these CON
ditions, but they Ire calling to YOU

that they had gone to st. Louis, at
once started after them, seemingly

PATRONAGE
DISTRIBUTION among West Vir-
ginia Democrats is No
Easy Job.

y
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE dis
trIbution OF patronage is no easy 1oD.
as the West Virginia Democrats IN the
two houses Of Congress are inding
out. Grover Cleveland is credited
with having made the remark that
when a man made an appointment
from among ten applicants he made
nine enemies and one migrate. West
virginia Democrats in this Congress
have not had time yet to find out
about the truth of the migrate part Of
the remark, but they have certainly
had the opportunity to test the other
part OF it. With Parkersburg on his
hands ana a dozen disappointed caRdi-
dates there, Senator Chiffon has now
been asked to recommend persons for
appointment as postmasters at Thur
mond. Logan and Holden. At Thur
mond there are two candidates each
backed by influential persons At
Holden there is a similar situation,
while at Logan there are about score
OF candidates for the postmastership
of a town OF $500. Whatever Senator
Chiffon does in any of these places
will disappoint lot OF influential per-
sons and cause him trouble in future
campaigns in which he may be in
terested.
Congressman Davis is having dim
Guilty in getting the postmasterships
settled at smithfeld and Jane Lew
and has been compelled to write let
tiers to many Democrats In each COM
munity asking for expressions as to
their choice for the appointments.
whether appointments recommended
in this way will prove satisfactory re-
mains to be seen
Patronage is worrying the Demo
Gratis from West Virginia. as well as
those from other states. more than
legislation and is causing them more
trouble.
