The Artful Plumber.


The aI,ful and expensive plumber has
full possession of the White House, and

plumber does his WORK hastily and I'M

neglect by frequent and assiduCus at
tention subsequently, never torget'iHS

White House, however, he feels II lib

before the august tenant comes into
possession. So much las been said
about tine defective sewerage in The
White House, and OF the need OF RENE
diving is, that the knowing plumber
feels assured that the treasury will

PRESIDENT sCoTT's BRICKS.

Council On Tuesday evening. President
SCorT introduced the following where
as and resolution:
WHgREAs, The present condition OF
our streets, both paved and macsua-
mixed, is perfectly horrible, and there
have been and still are serious com
plants in regard TO them, and Win
view TO some Improvement; be u
RssOlrcd. That the Committee on
Streets. Alleys and Grades iDqune ana
report upon the cost OF paving with
granite block and report the same to
Council.
The manner or the matter OF Presi'
dent SCoTr's whereas and resolution Is
no surprise to US, save in one particular
We endorse the Whereas IN toto. We
will adept the expression, perfectly
horrible" as applied to the condition
OF our streets, with all the emphasis
which Councilman SCoTT seems 10 have
put in it.
We will go further than Mr.. SCOTS
"Whereas," and assert that Tor tie
amount Of money expended on our
streets they are the worst job, asa WHOLE
that any city OF the size OF Wheeling
can produce. They are not only sub
jsct OF serious complaint" on the part
OF our citizens, but suject OF constant
criticism 10y the stranger and visitor TO
our city.
But there is single word in Mr.
ScorT's resolution which we read with
some surprise.
We remember that in his zeal for this
commeudable work OF improving our
streets. MIR. SCoTr introduced and car
ried through his branch of Council,
short time ago, resolution OF very SIM
liar import to that in question, with the
exception OF very important word.
The difference between the former
resolution and the latter one offered by
Mr.. SCOrr consists mainly in the substl-
tuition OF the word grarlitc in the latter
for tue word brick in the former.
Mr.. SCOTT seems to have abandoned
the Or.cSs WIN "'''''' ''' 'A'''e" WIZ

time ago.

: LONDON, Sept. 17.-Slnalley's special says:
Though the Egyptian crisis has closed the
compromise is only temporary. Cherif
Pasha, though honest for all Egyptian, is not
strong. The y hope that he may
be- able to remain i'll power remains
in his Arab synpathies, which are i'll
compatible with European control. The real
object Of the movement is to get rid Of for
cign control. Cherifs chances are not good.
lie caullot please both parties. 1t is hoped
that the interim vi Ill be sufficient to
devise scheme for reducing the army. The
Egyptian incident produced the unexpected
Intervention of Russia and Germany. The
obvious intention Of these Eastern Powers
to have voice III the settlement of the
Egyptian question disturbs the British
Tories, who regret that Lord Bcaconsteld
did not take Prince Bislnarck's advice to
ANNEN EGYPT.
The growing tendency Of England to con-
centrate her attention on Egypt is curious
commentary on her foreign policy fur tile
last thirty years. She finds now that it is
becoming. more difficult to keep OH good
terms with France, and that there is DAN
ger that Prince Bismarck may insist on
submitting the Egyptian question to kind
Of European arcopagus, SO that the Triple
Alliance may have an opportunity to retaliate
on England for oyertllowing the former
triple agreement. Before permitting the
British occupation Of Egypt the Emperor
will no doubt demand q guarantee against
further English Interference in European
Turkey.

HOW TIE PRINCE OF WALES FELT WHILE
He WAS IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Spkcfat Cable.


HOW THE PRINCE OF WALES FELT WHILE
HE WAS IN ST. PETERSBURG.
Sntcial Cable,
LONDON. Sept. 17.-It is generally believed
that the Gar discussed the condition Of his
own country with Prince Bismarck, asking
the Ciancellor's advice III regard to checking
the Nihilist movement. The unpleasant
situation in which tile Car finds
himself was we'll expressed re-
Gently by the Prince Of Wales
to an intimate friend. Said the Prince:
"Whcn stood in the Church of St. Peters
burg, on the memorable day when the funel al
ceremonies of the late Gar took place, l
never felt so uncomfortable in my life.
wondered whether the entire structure might
not be blown up, and whether mines were
not laid under our feet to blow us all into
eternity.
IN ST. PETERSBURG FIRST GAINED 4 CLEAR
IDEA
Of the terrible situation in which Alexander
found himself. The Gar has no less than
GOO Aides-de-Caup, whereas l and the Queen
have only six between us. To begin such
reforms as the Nlhilists wish, the
Gar must first dismiss most of
these and thousands besides, aud every
person thus dismissed from the Court would
become all enemy quite rs dangerous as the
individual Nihilist. Even the Nihilists them
selves don't know the difficulties Of tile
Cars position, desirous as he is Of promot-
ing the interests Of the Empire and the peo-
pie committed to his care"

FLUCTUATIONS IN STOCKS FREQUENT AMI

FLUCTUATIONS IN STOCKS FREQUENT AND
WIDE.
Special Dispatch to The Chicago Trtbune-
NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Wall street was in
all unsettled state today, and the hucuatio1s
of the prices Of the list were frequent and
wide. It could not exactly be called a buft
day, neither was it a bear day. What sort
OF a market is this? was the query. In fact.
the partisans of both factions had good
chance for the profits Of the varying changes
if they could catch them. The bulls Of the
morning had the best OF it on a rumor that
the Secretary Of the Treasury was about to
make known his intentions concerning the
