THURMAN ON SILVER.

Judge THURMAN made one OF his
plain, common sense arguments, in the
Senate, yesterday, in favor OF the rest'ra-
ton of silver TO its proper place as
circulating medium. He SAID that silver
and gold had furnished the metallic cir
culstlng medium of the world for the
last thousand years; that it was the coin
of the Colonies; snd the coin of the
Constitution of the Union of States,
until silver was distracted from
our currency by legislative mistake and
without the knowledge of the people.
He showed that to restore silver to its old
place would work no injustice TO any one,
but would, on the contrary, relieve the
oppressed industries c! the land and thus
benefit all. The telegraghic synopsis OF
the speechls meagrc, but 1t is sufficiently
full TO attest the clesrness and ability OF
tie authors argument.

NOTES OF THE Dr. Y.

Gov. ROBINSON, Of New York, follows
the rapidly growing custom in offering
no wine at his receptions.
IT is said that Mr.. Saukey used to sell
curo-all patent medicine in the streets
of different places, attracting purchasers
by playing u melodeon snc singing,
THE Boston Post regards the substitu-
ton OF Judge Devens 70. Judge Taft as
Attorney General as decided gain for
the country, of which even Democrats
should not be unmind!ul.
GEN. STEPHEN d. LEs, who will be
remembered by many OF our Wheeling
boys who met him at the White Sulphur
last Summer, was elected 10 the Missis.
sippi Senate the other day.
The Washington Post is disposed to
believe Mr.. Hayes truly good man, but
thinks the child like faith with which he
has allowed his wicked partners to carry
on business is remarkable, 10 say the
least.

THE GRECIAN WAR.

Greece has opened the campaign in
brilliant style, evidently determined to
make her attack upon her ancient foe as
merry rs po:sible-since all the chances
seem to be in favor of its being short
lived. The capture of twelve hundred
Turks and the subjugation of province Is
not bad record in q war but four days
old, and If such line of brisk &C.
ton could be maintained for q
fortnight Thessaly snd Albania would
send deputies to the next Grecian Far.
Lament. Unfortunately for Greece she
has opened out with pace that she can
not maintain. Just now, when there are
no Turkish troops worth mentioning TO
oppose her, she can have things all her
own way. But when q Turkish army
corps is sent down into Thessaly Grecian
victories will end as disastrously as they
have begun fortunately.

IRON WORKERS. MEETING.

We are requested TO announce tnat
those interested in the manufacture of
iron and lis products in this city, con-
template holding 8 meeting at the Court
House, next Saturday evening, to consider
the proposed change in the Tariff laws by
Congress. AS The prosperity of Wheeling
is bound up with the prosperity of her
iron manufacturing interest, citizens
without respect to party are expected to
take part in the meeting.
Without regard to the merits Of the
bill prepared by Mr.. WOOD and printed
in the Newspapers of the country for the
purpose OF ehciLing discussion, we believe
i. is the sense of the more careful and
thoughtful men OF Wheeling, that this IS
rot a favorable time to make any radical
change in the Revenue laws of the coun-
try. Business is row in an unsettled
condition and Yalues are greatly disturb
eli By the financial discussions in Con-
cress, and any serious attempt TO mater.
islly change the Tariff would still further
complicate matters. Such an attempt
would add still greater uncertainty TO the
present uncertain condition of business.
Whether the present Tariff laws are
the best for our interests that
can be devised, is not the question to be
discussed; it is rather, whether 1t is not
better "to endure the ills we now have
rather then fly to those We know Of"
That Mr.. WOODS bill has many good
features in it, we are convinced. 1t re-
duces the cost OF collecting the duties for
the government, several millions OF dol
lars, which is very good thing; it abel
lshcs the complicated and cumbersome
system Of cumulative duties, of charging
both specific and sd valorem duties on
the same article; it substitutes, as far
SIS possible, specific for I'D valorem
duties; and il reduces and simplities the
lis. of dutiable articles from 1000 to 500.
Bat with all its good features, this bill
doubtless has some Objectionable ones;
or at least features objectionable to COM
munities like Wheeling who are largely
interested in some particular industry to
10 be affected.
But, rs we said in the outset, this is not
q favorable time for the agitation of even
an admitted reform in this direction
Suspension and uncertainty are death to
business prosperity. A settled policy
even though poor one, is far
preferable to agitation for reform.
Let us first have silver reconciliation
and then let the Groenbsck be made q
legal tender for all purposes, just as gold
is.-tben we have resumption After
values become adjusted to tho then order
of things, and business resumes its wonted
prospeIity-then it will be time enough
to discuss other great reforms involving
the revenues Of the Government.
