We note that a number of New
York state papers are working up a
boom for Hon. Hugh ]. Jewett, of
Ohio, for the Democratic nomination
for the Presidency. The point they
make is that he can carry the railroad
influences against the national bank
influence of the Republican party.
We do not think it advisable to have
the President of this great country
handicapped with any great monopo-
ly, railroad or bank. Let us have an
honest, fair-mlnded citizen like Bay
ard. Then every interest viii get its
just dues.

CINCINNATI. March 1O.-The Price
Current publishes tomorrow morning
special returns from nearly three hum
dred points in the west in regard to
the growing wheat crop. The indi-
cations are almost uniformly of fa-
vorable condition and fiattering pros
poets especially in Ohio, Kentucky,
Indiana and Michigan. In Missouri
complaints are exceptional. In Me-
braska the winter crop is generally re-
ported favorbaly. Wet weather has
done harm in Illinois, while in Kan>
sas and Iowa there are complaints of
dry weather, but an average crop is
expected. The most serious COM
plants of winter killing comes from
Wisconsin, with increased acreage
generally reported. The Price Cur
rent regards the promise favorably
for an unusually large yield Of wheat,
while the returns from the spring
wheat sections indicate an average of
this crop.

A man professed conversion in Mr..
Moody's meetings in St. Louis, few
days ago, and sent his check for ST.
500 to neighbor whom he had
wroDged. He has more conscience
than some church members who, by
legal technicalities, have robbed their
fellow men, and more religion, too.
If a mans religion does not make him
honest, he has not enough to do him
any good in this life or that which il
to come.

ON THE TRAIL.
Prospective Arrest OF Gos', the
Prize Fighter.

The Golfers Station prize fight, OF
some months ago, is still doubtless fresh
in the minds of our readers. The con-
testants in that disgraceful occurrence
were two noted fighters, Goss and Ryan.
There seemed to be some hitch In the
law. and who should represent the
State OF W. Va. vas something every
one was doubtful on. 1t is true that
the sheriff OF Brooke county was on
the scene bat was powerless. The affair
produced a sensation all over the coun-
try and the press commented rather un-
fayorably on the condition OF the law
in this State and on the State authori-
ties. The affair has lately seemed To
have blown entirely over n TO have
been forgotten; true, at first these were
hints thrown out, that the men would
be arrested ~ soon as they Lad recov-
cred from their injuries. These JUNIORS
we're in part true, Tor Governor Math-
ews determining to bring the fighters to
Justice, had acquisitions issued and
placed them in the hands OF Ch!ei oil
Police Sweeney of this city, and depu-
tized him to workth matter up for the
State. At that time ne went to New
York, but it was discovered, while lie
was in Albany, that there was some !cr-
ical error, which rendered the papers
null, and void; in the time that was con-
consumed in rectiiying the mistake, all
trace of the iugatives was lost. TINS was
the last the public ever heard OF the
matter and many supposed that there u
would end-but not so. The Chlei has
during all this time been az work
and about two weeks ago recelv-
ed word that Goss vas expected
i'm Detroit shortly, and that
Ryan was being Swallowed in the East.
A Jew DAYS ago, he went 10 Il certain
Eastern city in response TO a summons
from the chief OF police of that city and
an endeavOr was made to capture Ryan,
but did not prove successiui. IL was,
however, q rather close shave Tor that
worthy. Sweeney then returned to this
city and was told to hold himself In
readiness TO hear OF the arrest OF Gcss.
Yesterday a dispatch came from Detroit
announcing that the game was Gagged.
The Detroit authorities were Immediate
ly ordered to hold the man. Sweeney
procured a requisItion and left for Detroit
on the ll:l5 b. Il q. train last night.
What will be done when he reaches
that city is not at present known, but
Goss will most likely be brought to this
city. The chase has been a long and ex-
citing one, and it is to be hoped that
Justice and law will now take its full
course and vindicate the honor OF the
State, which has been harshly COM
mented on, as we'll as punish two har-
dened brutes.

To day the street laborers and the

The reason why is that that the mem

cilmen. Lastuight was regular meeting
night--a fact that should have been
known to all, and yet but four members
could be found, and ut half past nine

not, however, until they had orderedth

tory explanation OF absence can be

sessed. As the matter stands now, men
who are in need OF their wages
must wait until Saturday or Monday be-
fore they can be paid. 1t

pie the reporter overheard talking last
