Harrington, Secretary of State for Ireland,
in speaking near Barnley, to-day, ct
pressed the determination Of the govern.
msnt to bring the Irish difficulty TO sue
cessfnl conclusion. During the last few
days he said there had been some hopeful
signs, several convictions having been OBJ
tanned by iuries. The Government was not
and could not be an organization for collect
rights OF property. The Land Own
srs' Association for that purpose
formed in ireland was alegitimate associa-
ton, aud might be beneficial. Lord Har-
lington repudiatcd the idea OF his seeding
from the liberal government. He said that
the power Of the land league was now bro.

guerilla warfare TO succeed.

WASHINGTON, December l5.-A letter OF
Of instructions from Secretary Blaine to
Minister Lowell in reference to the modih-
cation of the Clayton-Dulwer treaty
was sent so, the Senate to-day in
answer to q resolution Of in
quiry. 1t is volummous document.
Pursuant to q suggestion IN letter

Mr.. Blaine says 1t becomes his duty to call
attention to the Clayton-B ulwer treaty.
He quotes the provision of this treaty as to
An .iilter-oceanic communication, whether
by canal or railroad, and says
this convention was made more
than thirty years ago under exceptional
circumstances, which have long since ceased
to exist and can never be reproduced. The
remarkable development OF the United
States on the Pacific coast since then has
created more new duties for the govern
ment and developed new responsibilities
upon it, full and complete modification of

interest of the British government

through the Mediterranean and British in
terests in India are not of more importance
to her than ours on the Pacific coast, be-
sides India is but distant colony of Brit
ain while our Pacific coast il an integral

The Gniteau Trial.

The Guiteau trial is burning
shame to the country. Nothing like
it was ever witnessed in any but q
border court. Instead of solemn
tragedy comedy has been enacted
every day since the trial began.
Judge Cox seems to be particular
ly weak individual. District Attor-
ney Corkhill is vain, pompous man.
Between them they have brought
about pretty state Of affairs.
1t is fearful thing to contemplate
seriously. A few weeks ago the ma
ton was bowed down with grief at
the death of it's beloved Chief Mag
istrate. Now everybody laughs at
the antics of the assassin. Reports
of the trial are read for the fun they
may contain. Disgraceful outbursts
Of rage from the prisoner are APP
plauded and it is particularly enjoy
able when he calls his counsel liar
and addresses the court in patron
izing manner, such as a jockey might
be expected to assume towards the
boy who rubs down his horses. No
doubt his freaks are often laughable,
but that such things should be al
lowed for one moment in court OF
justice is incapable of explanation.

News Notes.

A quarter Of million dollar food
has been mixing things up badly in
central Illinois.
There are fifteen sardine factories
now running in Eastport, Maine, en-
ploying from 800 to 1000 hands.
| Guiteau's Deity dodge is OF recent
origin. He seems to have borrowed
the idea from that Pennsylvania
crank who claimed the Presidency
upon divine credentials.
The New York Star is of the dou
bic loaded opinion that Guiteau is
crazy. 1t is generally believed, how
ever that the wretch is sane enough
to be legally and righteously elimi-
mated.
A foreign dispatch says the reports
of Guitcau's trial excite the utmost
establishment among the English law
yers that such continued violations Of
decency are permitted in court. A
similar feeling of disgust can be not
ed here.
Mr. James M. Shank, Secretary O (
the American Iron and Steel Associa-
ton, estimates the worlds pro-
duction in pig iron in
1881 at 100000 tons, and
of steel at 100000 tons. These es-
Inmates are based upon thorough
examination Of all available Stats
tics.

industry was as rude as any other
Science and art have revolutIchfzed
that. No long ago one of the most
successful ship-builders of Bath, Me-,
said: "Once we built vessels without
the aid of the draughtsman. Rely
ing upon the eye alone, we put up
the ends of the vessel, and then filled
in between as best we could. A few
years before the Crimean war,a grad
uate of West Point, came to Bath,
and taught us how to draught YES
sells. We have kept that art alive
among us, and for years every part
of a vessel has been made from a
drawing. To drawing was largely
due the fine quality of our ships,
which made the name of Bath so we'll
known in almost every port of the
world" Not less, but greater knowl-
edge Of science and art is every day
demanded of those engaged in ship
building.
If to the few industries already
named we add pottery, plough and
wagon making, tanning, brick max
ing, and grist- grinding,we shall have
nearly catalogued the industries of
sixty years ago. Not only were they
few, but exceedingly rude. The
founders of the common school sys-
tenn did not need to take them into
consideration. Now they are almost
beyond number, while they have SO
changed in character, and competi-
ton has become so intense, that they
cannot be successfully prosecuted
without the aid of science and art.
Technically educated heads to direct,
and technically educated hands to
execute, are now both required.
Hence, popular education needs now
to be characterized by industrial fea-
lures, sufficient to give, at least, clear
intimations Of what the boys and
girls are to do after they quit school.

The Register gives q tabular state
ment of the census returns for this
State, as compiled from the official
returns lately announced. From it
we learn that the total increase in
population from 1870 to 1880 was
176,429 and that Monongalia has in
creased in that time 1,436. Jefferson
county is the banner grain growing
county, having produced in the year
1880, 10000 bushels. That paper
adds the subjoined remarks to its
table.
The lesson to be derived from a
review of these tables, Is that which
West Virginia has been slow to learn
in past years, but it is now manifest
ing higher appreciation of than
ever before. 1t is the patent fact that
the progress of the State in popula-
ton and productiveness is in exact
proportion to the railroad facilities
which it acquires. This is faithful
ly demonstrated in the case of each
county in the State. That county
which has acquired the greatest
number of miles of railroad, is the
county showing the largest growth
in population and productiveness,
while on the other hand the rule
holds equally good, that those coun-
ties and section of the State without
railroad facilities, are either at a
standstill, or their progress is sc
slow as to be scarcely worthy of note
if, indeed, they have not been retro
grading graphic lesson to the
people of the whole State to enforce
the fact that in this age of the world
there is no such thing as material
progress for State without aid from
the great civilizer-the railroad.
The exhibit may make other sec
tons of the State feel little enviou;
of the Third district, to which We
must award the banner for the great
er growth at least in population
while the Eastern Panhandle car
ries the banner for grain products
But it may be of service in stirring
up the ambition of some of those 9th
er counties which make so poor al
exhibit in the above tables.
AS State we have no reason tC
complain of our advancement i'll the
last decade. We have met the mos
sanguine expectations, and have
shown progress equal to or greater
than that of many of the younger
Western States. What will be oul

DEAR SIKs: We take pleasure
in recommending your buggies to
the public, and will further say
that we have used them for about
two years, and found them to be
far superior in style, durability and
quality of any buggy we have ever
used. Having had number Of
years experience in the carriage
business; and being prejudiced
against factory work, as most car
rage makers are, we most cheer
fully submit the above statement to
the public.

Last Saturday the Wheeling Reg
ister was issued from it's new build
ing and printed on the new four CYL
inder Hoe Press from handsome new
type. To properly celebrate the oc-
casion it issued a mammoth eight
page edition as large as the Cincin-
natl Enquirer. The Register is one
of the solid institutions Of our State
and each year enlarges the sphere of
its usefulness and increases it's pop
ularity and influence. A very inter
esting history of the founding and
growth of the paper is given and with
it much instructive information in
regard to conducting a great daily
paper. We are glad to see the Reg
lister continue in it's onward course.
1t is now superior to any paper we
know of published in city the size
of Wheeling.
The Weekly will be much enlarged
and new departments added. In
consequence of this the subscription

There are indications that Senator
Malone isn't going to have as peace
full time completing his Virginia
victory as he could desire. He has
picked out his candidate for United
States Senator, but the republican
part of the reputation coalition
doesn't like it. They have SO far
succeeded only in getting a Lieuten-
ant Governor out of the upheaval,
and that is certainly not much re-
turn for the surrender of the repub-
lican party in an important Southern
State. The republican who was
elected Lieutenant Governor, ex-Sen-
ator Lewis, is himself a candidate
for United States Senator, and
he calls attention to the fact
that this was the programme laid
out when he consented to take the
nomination for an Insignificant place
on the ticket. Lieutenant Governor
Lewis will make fight for the Sen
atorship, and if he can hold the re
publican members of the Legislature
Malone cannot dictate the candi
date.

The New York Evening Mail, a
pronounced republican paper, mott
cling the majority with which the re-
pnblicans and the administration
will start in the next Congress, says:
'They will find themselves abandon
ed by thousands and tens of thous-
ands Of able, rejecting, honest and
disinterested republicans who became
such, not for office, but because they
believed that the republican party
meant not only the preservation of
all the results Of the war, but of State
and National good faith in the pay
ment of debts. These men will not
proclaim their intentions in public
places. They will silently watch
and wait, and hope that the party
may rise in the strength of its old
cherished principles and disavow all
bargains and alliances with Malone
and other regulators, who may talk
about the destruction of Bourbon
ism being their main object and re-
pudiation a mere incident and pre-.
tense, but who know that their real
political strength is in, the popular
ity Of reputation. If these silent
and anxious watchers find that theil
party has not the moral force, as ar
organization, to slough off the dis
ease of 'Mahonery,' they will quietly
leave q party they can no longer res
pect.'
