The Della. Chesapeak Railway Is interesting from
the fact that there is so little of interest on its entire
length of 60 miles 1t is not possible, perhaps, to
find outside of the Southern State Qncluding the
line from Baltimore to Washington railroad that has
little TO attract the traveller. The comparatively
lines usually in the less improved parts from the
fact that the land damages less and the routes
more direct Once built however, the country

If, instead of retreating around
the tree, the squirrel had advanced
around the tree once, while the
hunter went around the tree as in
the original case, would it not be
right to say that the hunter went
twice around the squirrel? And il
not, why not9 Has not the hunter
seen the squirrel twice all around?
Or suppose the squirrel to retreat
four, five, or six times around the
tree, while the hunter performs
his original motion, would it not
be proper to say that the hunter
went three, four or five times less
than no time around the squirrel?
And il not, why not?

Poor innocent! No; you did not
get around it at all. Then you got
around four, five or more times,

then the circus got around you,

you were going around 1t many

THE New York Herald, Republican,
says THE EXPECTED VETO We
should rejoice TO find that the general
anticipation Of the veto Of the Army Ap-
preparation bill Is mistake, for we be-
lieve that no public interest would suffer
by allowing it to become law, and that
the signing of it by President Hayes
would have tranquillizing influence on
the country. But it is rather to be wish
ed than expected that he will brave the
fury of his own party by approving bill
which all republ leans demand as one
man that he shall veto.

rv,,popvryT OF THE DAILY GA
zErrE.-The enlargement of the DAILY
GAZETTE to twenty-eight column pa
per has been a desire with us for some
time: but business circumstances prevent
ed its being done as soon as we wished.
We present it to-day, however, in an EN-
larged form, to enable MS to give more
spaee 10 advertisers and at the same time
furnish several columns more Of interest
ing reading matter.


We have not yet made all the improve
ments, in the appearance OF the paper,
we desire; and shall from time to time
continue to perfect its appearance until,
as we hope, it will excel in size and ap-
pearance as ii does in the earnestness and
truthfulness with which it sustains and
advocates the cause Of the people--a
liberal and economical government found
ed upon the democratic republican prin-
ciples of the Fathers Of the Republic.


The GAZETTE is now larger than any
penny paper published in New York,
Philadelphia or Baltimore, except one
and with this exception ii is, and has
been, also far superior to the penny
papers in those cities We have hereto
fore given very large amount of reading
matter, although it did not spread ovel
as much space-the type being smaller
than that used by either Of our city con
temporaries for this purpose. But here
after We shall devote even more attention
to the news and miscellaneous depart
ments and endeayor to make the GA
ZETTE one Of the most entertaining an,
instructive papers Of its class in tn
country. We shall rndcaSor to make

The two foundations on which

 every community, large or small,

 must stand. are intelligence and

 moral integrity, fit wishes to stan l

 firmly aud safely. Intelligence

 among the masses can in no other way be so well promoted as by the

 public school system. The state

 owes it to herself to see that her

 children are sufficiently educated

 for all the ordinary duties of citi-

 zenship, and official responsibility. There is doubtless a limit to the re-

 sponsibiliiy of the State in this mat

 ter of education. Beyoad cer-

 tain limit the public intcres: be- comes merged into the individual interest. In other words the higher

 cduca,:ol of the college and uni versiiy Is a natter in which the student is trained not so much for public safety as for personal success. Every man who wishes distinction in wealth, or honor, or professional attainment should be asked to se- cure these exceptional mental train ings at his own personal expense of time, and labor,a and money, because the advantages sough: are personal to himself, But general ignorance is such a deadly foe to all good gov ernment that it is the duty of the State to see that there Is secured to the people a general intelligence. We believe not only in providing a system of public shools for the children of the rich and poor, but we believe in compulsory education. For while We concede toSevery pa rent the right to control lis child, in his own way, within the limit of domestic interests. We believe there is higher duty which he owes to society, and,as in all other questions involving tie public interest, the rights of the individual in chM training become absorbed in the rights of the commonwealth. The prerogative of the parent must give way to that of the State. Bcsiics this, the stlte owes this interference, if necessary, to the child itself The function of the government is not limited to the adult population. Childhood has cltims as well IS manhood to it's protection, and has a right to demand consideration of it's interest by the state when the parent neglect them. It is the glory of our young Territory that we have T well organized school system. Planned after the best models Of the East, and with the benefit of the experience of the best educators for the last twenty-five years. our public school system is model foz so young a community as ours. Let us see 10 1t that no profane hands shall touch this ark of our political safety.

THE article from the Bellaire Tribune in
to.day's paper, advocating the building OF
road from that point down the Ohio
shore to Marietta, is worthy Of attention Of
thepeople OF this city and OF this side the
river along the West Virginia shore. 1t is
the second newspaper demonstration that
We have published from the Ohio side in
favor OF such road, and is all the more
important because It Is well known that
there is public sentiment at the back Of
the proposed project Bellatre has mar
row gauge already built six miles down
the shore, and it would only need about
70 miles Of road to connect her with
Marietta, whereas we need 04 miles to
connect US with Parkersburg, or 90 miles
in case the P, W. 4 Ky. is extended to
Benwood and permits the laying OF a third
rail wherewith to utilize It's track.


We submit that 1t is full time the people
along the West Virginia shore gave this
matter of a railroad their serious attention.
They have certainly long experienced the
need OF such means Of overcoming the
disabilities laid upon them by the condi-
ton OF the river in summer and winter.
There is no need Of argument 10 convince
them OF the necessity for such a road.
Why then not start movement all along
the shore between this city and Parkers-
burg, in favor OF commencing operations
as SOON as possible. There is money in
the project for the stockholders and the
general public. 1t has been estimated
that the actual running expenses Of the
boats that ply in the trade between here
aud Parkersburg and intermediate
points, not counting the Pittsburgh
and Cincinnati bosts, but only
those between Wheeling and Par
kersburg, are 500 per day. This is
their actual expense, and over and above
this they must make their profits. The
running expenses Of marrow gauge rail.
road between Wheeling aud Parkersburg
would certainly not exceed half Of this
amount, and hence It Is easy to see that
there Is q handsome amount OF profit in
the enterprise, saying nothing Of the great
indirect benefit that must result to the
people OF the shore counties and to the
trade Of this city.

Az item in our New York dispatches
this morning says the rise in real estate in
that city since March last has been equal
10 % per cent. This is certainly pretty
big boom for the time, but we must re.
member that real estate in cities has been
unnatually depressed for long time by
loreclosing sales, aud hence, when the
pressure is lifted, the tendency is very
decidedly upward. Real estate through
out the country always brings up the rear
alter a reaction from panic, and it is
therefore not likely that the boom now in
progress will set 1t moving very rapidly
before next spring. There are, however,
uunistakeable symptoms that the coming
rise has commenced. Such arrivals Of

has been very quickly diverted from the Yazoo City
shooting case to the murderous assault on Kalloeh,

hung banished thirty criminals and held supreme
power in that city for several weeks successfully

difficulty very much of the same sort as the present
one. In that the journal popular the editor
