THE 6RANGERS' WOOL WARE.
HOUSE.

At the. Convention of Wool Growers,
held at Cincinnati, February 22d, action
was taken looking to the establishment
OF a warehouse ftr the handling OF the
wool of Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky, in the In
terests OF the producers. A committee
of three gentlemen from each of the
states named was raised, whose duty 1t
will be to select location for such q
warehouse and to perfect the plans for
the management of it. This committee
was requested to meet in this city, on
Thursday, March 18th, for the purpose
of investigating the facilities offered
by Wheeling for the convenient
and economical gathering-in, handling
and shipping of wool. The location OF
such an establishment here would be 9
benefit to this city, and desirable thing
to the wool. growers OF the vicinity. 1t
is to be hoped that proper efforts will be
made to have the facilities by US fairly
presented to the commission on the 10Th.
Steubenville and other points will be
competitors for the location.

Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, March 6-The mem;
bers of the cabinet who met with the
President to-day remained ut the Execu-
tive Mansion two hours. The
session was devoted altogether to the
presentation of the affairs of their re.
spective departments and thorough ex,,
planation from the different members OF
the condition of the public matters en-
trusted to their consideration in the or,
binary routine.
Secretary Morrill,, representing the
Treasury department, presented very
briefly the favorable condition of the
national finances and spoke of the in.
creasing disposition abroad tor invest
ment in our securities.
The other principal subject of national
interest alluded to at the session to-day
was the political condition of Louisiana,
the situation there seeming to be regard
ed as the central point on which
Southern affairs may turn. Attor'
ney General Taft very fully express.
ed his views regarding the subjec., ii
being one, as it appeared, that ha:
called for deli5erstion from the depart
ment of justice. Judge Taft declines to
state precisely what position he assumed
in presenting this case to the President
but there Is reason to believe that he was
not disposed to suggest any course which,
if determined upon, would be disastrous
to the hopes cf the Packard government
As far as can be learned, it Is judged that
further consideration was thought to be
necessary, and that the official reports
on file in the department of justice in
relation to this State were respective
ly referred to the consideration of the
new Attorney General when he shall
be appointed. There was long confer
ence between Pres ident Hayes and the
Postmaster General upon the subject OF
the pending appointments and aPphca
tions that have received the recent con.
siderstlon of the Postmaster General
Mr.. Tyner remained in consultation
with the President for some time after
the other members had retired. Gen.
orally the business WAS routine
and only for the purpose of giving th e
President thorough insight into the
condition of public affairs. President
Hayes was not backward in stating his
appreciation of the srduous duties that
lay before him, and thanked the members
OF the Cabinet for in ornation afforded
him, of which he made note for bis guild
ance. At the adjournment, the members
of the Cabinet bade the President an Of.
fcisl farewell, rs it is regarded as slmost
absolutely certain that the next regular
day of meeting would see an entirely new
assembly of this character. There are
many rumors this afternoon OF oppo'
sition to the names that have been prom
inently mentioned IN connection with the
Cabinet officers, but nothing is yet def
mite and probably will not be until the
nominations are sent officially to the
Senate.

IUnGET. G.. GREEN.

All of the papers of this city have
been in error in referring to Judge HAY
MoND as the Presiding Justice of the Su-
preme Court of Appeals of this State,
Judge RAYMOND did occupy this posi-
tion prior to the commencement OF the
present term; but on the organization OF
the court at Charleston, IN January,
Judge GREEN was unanimously selected
as President. This is in accordance with
an old rule of the court, which makes the
Judge whose term will first expire the
Presiding Justice until the end
of his term. Judge HAY
MoND's term expired on the first OF
January, and he was re elected for full
term OF twelve years, so under this rule
he ceased to be the presiding Justice,
while Judge GREEN, who was selected to
fill the vacancy oeeasioned by the death
of Judge PAUL., has but four years to
serve, and therefore, under the rule, was
chosen President, position which he
will worthily fill.

In the names of all the gods at once
what does possess Mr.. Hayes that he
should wish to play the Returning Board
with the Episcopal prayer book? We
protest against him counting it in" to
help him out with his inaugural. The
following passage forms the conclusion of
his address on inauguration day:
"But trusting that all things may be so
ordered and settled upon the best and
surest foundation, so that peace and hap.
mess, truth and justice, religion and
piety may be established among US tor
all generations"
The following extract is from the
prayer for Congress in the Episcopal
prayer book:
"That all things may be so ordered and
settled by their endeavors upon the best
and surest foundation, that peace and
happiness, truth and justice, religion and
piety may be established among us for
al generations"

CUES that business will not revive

WE'VE must push it into activity
Enterprises that have been stagnant
should be revived. Activity begets
activity. Trade is often developed by
manufacturing goods and pushing their
sale on the market. The demand Is
lethargic and needs to be stimulated and
aroused. 1t is not to be expected that
the renewed life of q reviving business
will naturally flow to us-we must have
part in exciting it. The new channels
must be cut-as old channels Of trade
have filled up, and are not actively used.
In brief. all must have par in creating
business revival, who expect to share
in its benefits. And now is the time Tor
work.
The american Aq'iculturist, published
at New York, has the following en-
couraging item:
Business is reviving in earnest.
Marked evidences of this are visible
everywhere. The country is down to
hard pan prices, with the exception, OF
house servants wages and few other
things, and sny change must now be
for the better. The country is really
growing richer as a whole; the economy
practiced reduces the expenses below the
earnings. II man earns 30 cents day
