The liquor traffic imposes a tax of

The saioons outnumber all other binds
Of business houses Of any one class in
the country. We pay about ons-eighth
Sc much for education as for rum;
twice as much for intemperanee as for
the support Of the government. and
fifteen times as much to the dranshOp
as to the church. We waste over
seven hundred million dollars year
for the debasement Of the intellect aud
the destruction Of the body, and pay
with reluctance less than one hundred
million for education and culture, then
We throw over fifteen times bs much
into the seething csldrou Of rum IS We

igionl Are not these startling state
ments2 Do you comprehend the enor-
nifty Of this national vice! With
these facts before us, is it strange that
our measure of misery is fulIi This
vast waste would provide 4 school
house, thoroughly appointed. for every
fifty Of eur youth, and set teachers in
the midst Of them OF the highest posi-
bic culture. Aside from the lament
able havoc and waste caused by the
use Of rum, We are compelled to sup
porI courts and prisons. and &n army
Of official beneiactOrs in the name of
charity that would be almost wholly
unnecessary, were the people taught to
shun rum as their greatest enemy.
Then would we have work instead of
charity; plenty instead Of starvation;
clean and slightly garments instead CT
rags; wholesome houses instead of
novels, and health instead Of beggary
and distress.

I do not know how much Of this

She undou otedly INDUCED in lofty

oatisu in the duties and aims of life
bad been deficient, OF, rather, errone-
; Gus; but that she vas capable of
deeper, better feelings, none doubted
who bad ever obtained evea a partial
glimpse Of her true woman's nature.
And the time arrived at length
when Katie was to take that all-impor-
tant step sf which she had often
spoken so lightly; when she WIS to
demonstrate TO aer friends how much
Of her heart was in the words we have
quoted.
At the enchanting age Of eighteen
she had many suitors; but, as she
never gave = serious thought to more
than two, we will follow her example,
discsrding all except those favored
ones, and consider their relative

good story. On the contrary, he was
a man Of sense, education. good looks
and fine manners, and there was moth

could ever ascertain.
Beside this, his income was sufficient
to enable him to live suPerbly, Also
he was considered two or three degree

Therefore the only thing on which
Frank had to depend was the powe
he possessed over Katie's sympathie

WEST VIRGINIA REPUTATION.

WEST VIRGINIA REPUDIATIoN.
The other day, IN the debate over the
bargain between MALONE and the Re-
publican Senator'S, Mr.. SHERMAN, in de-
tending MALONE and Virginia repudis
ton, INDUCED in Q most reckless asser-
ton in regard to West Virginia. We
quote from the official Congressional
Record:
1.-THE State OF West Virginia resolved
in its first constitution that it would as
suuoe a norton OF the debt and pay II.
We'll. sir. the two States could not agree;
they appointed commissioners at one
time. but there was a difference as TO
the mode and manner OF the division,
whether it should be based upon popu-
lation or upon property, and finally 1t
fell through until the Democratic party
came into power in West Virginia, and
then the debt was repudiated."
"And then the debt was repudiated,"
said this Senatorial calumniator. He
was probably speaking on the author
ity Of MALONE, but he should
learn to draw his facts from
q more reliable source. Senator
DAVIS at once corrected Mr.. SHER-
NAN, but HoAR and HAwLEY were dis
posed to insist that West Virginis's
course in relation to one-third OF Vir-
ginia's debt was a justification Of Ma
HOMES proposition to repudiate the
other two-thirds. The public will fail
to understand this kind OF logic.
In equity, it is probable that West
Virginia owes very small slice Of the
Virginia debt, very small fraction OF
the fifteen million dollars arbitrarily set
over to her by Virginia statesmen. And
until Virginia is prepared to enter upon
an adjustment ON something like an
equitable basis, West Virginia can afford
10 maintain a mastery unconcern."
But until she does some act that may
fairly be interpreted as an intention to
eyade the payment OF her just share OF
the debt OF the old State-a debt which
she had but little to DO toward creating
aud from which she received small ben
efit-dignified Senators like SHERMAN
will not be justified in the use OF such
language as be INDUCED in.

Covv,,xo announced at Pittsburgh,

CosKIISe announced at Pittsburgh,
on Saturday, that the Republicans IN
the Senate, propose to stick. This might
be called official But there is an init
mate, though invisible connection be-
tween the deadlock in the Senate and
the New York stalwart scheme to defeat
the nomination OF ROBERTSON to the
New York collectorship-and the friends
OF the administration are beginning to
see it. Senator CoSKLISG wants the
deadlock to continue, because it pre-
vents RoBERrsoN's confirmation; and he
and that portion OF the Republican
press which supports him, urge the
Republican Senators not to yield
one hair's-breadth. to the Demo-
Gratis. But those Republican papers
friendly to the administration which
have the sagacity to perceive that the
maintenance OF the deadlock is more IN
furious to the administration than to the
Democrats, are intimating pretty plain
ly that the foolishHess in the Senate
ought to be stopped. The Chicago 1r''
JuD;,, abiding to the statements made
by the Republican caucus, says:
Neither OF these propositions VIII
stand the test OF analysis; and unless
the Republicans in the Senate can sug-
ge.t some better reason for maintaining
the present deadlock, they will do we'll
to abandon the struggle, confirm the
Presidents appointments, and return TO
their homes"

lS the Senate, from the oath OF March,
Immediately after the committee organ
ization was accomplished, up to the
present time, the Democratic Senator's
have made thirty-seyen unsuccessful
efforts to proceed to the consideration Of
Executive business, the motions to that
effect having been voted down every
tin c by MALONE and the Republicans.
Toe Supreme Court is compelled to al.
'onrn from lack OF quorum, and in
many parts OF the country there is de.
moralzatiOn in the public service, be-
cause OF the Senats's refusal to act on
business submitted to it and urged on it
by President GARFIELD.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1881-04-11

THE rumor that GARFIELD will call an
extra session of Congress il the dead
lock in the Senate continues is some
what wide of the mark. II the House
were to assemble aud organize without
undue delay, it is not easy to see how its
action could affect the Senate. Bills
might be passed and sent to the upper
house, but If the Republican Senators
refused to take any notice OF public
business until the fate OF RIDDLEBRRGER
and GoRHAN was settled, We would not
be a whit the better off for the extra
session. The Senate has plenty to do.
The only trouble is that the so'calIed
majority won't consent to DO it.
