The reason why Chicago no show

We Must Wait.

What would be thought of conference of
modern European and ancient Egyptian as
tronomers solemnly delegated to '.harmonize"
the Ptolemaic and Newtonian planetary sys-
TENS? Would any man outside of the lunatic
asylum expect them to agree? 1t is just as
absurd to expect those Congressman who be-
leve that paper money and ink are the food
and drink of the nation to unite with the ad-
vocates of return to real, enduring money.
The thing is impossible. To look for it is to
expect downright miracle. 1t will be cred
liable to the inflationiSts and ant-inflationists
OF the Democratic caucus committee if they
refuse to agree.

Wheeling and Lake Erie IL. X.

Judge Robert III. Cochran, of Wheel
ing, formerly of this county, who is
member of the Board Of Directors of
the Wheeling and Lake Erie railroad,
furnishes some interesting figures to
the Register, showing the advantages
and resources of the narrow-gauge pro-
ject, lately adopted by the directors of
the road, and some comparisons show
ing the probable increased dividends
of such road over those reported by
other railroads to the Railway Com
missioner of that State. We have not
space for the figures, but a large pro-
portion of the estimates being based
on the coal haplage to be done by the
new road, we extract his description
of the coal field through which the
rosd will run:
Wheeling, w. Va, is the centre of
the Allegheny coal basin. Here from
the top of the hills to a depth of l 500
feet may be found 10 seams of coal,
of which have an aggregate of 35 feet
of coal. The Wheeling vein is from
5 to 6 feet, and at Whe cling is about
$50 feet above the bed of the Ohio riv-
er. This seam dips to the southeast at
the rate of so to 90 feet to the mile.
For 25 miles the Wheeling and Lake
Erie follows the valleys, the hills on
either side of which are full of coal,
above the track and on every mile, at
an altitude that at very slight expense
the coal is carried by gravitation to the
cars. Now, it will be remembered
that three to five miles north of the
Wheeling and Lake Erie line, and par
allel with it, this coal is not to be had,
