PHILADELPHIA. March Is.
Hazael sailed for England at 7 a. m
on the Indiana. A number of people
were on the warf to see him off.
He W 0re belt said to contain $10,-
600. He came to Philadelphia yes
terday morning and kept incog.
until night, when he registered at
the Bingham House. He said that
when he came over for the last
match but one, Martins company
was forcedon him and he was induced
to visit his saloon, and Martin took
the few hundred pounds he brought
over as consideration. As he
didn't propose to accede to Martins,
demands 10 give one.half the match
receipts, he concluded to slip off
quitelY before the court could get
hold of him. The only regret of his
visit to America was that he met
Martin. Hazael was in high glee as
he chuckled over the way in which
he gave the New York constable
the slip.

AT a trial of the Mckaraki COM
pressed air motor, in Philadelphia, on
Tuesday, it was found that street cars
could be propelled at the rate of SIX
or seven miles an hour with ease, aud
that enough compressed air could be
stored in ten minutes to run the cars
seven or eight miles. 1t is claimed
that with the motor. lines of street
railway can be operated much more
cheaply than with horse power, and
that the motor does not frigh en-
horses. These qualifications are ex-
actly those needed in q substitute for
the present system, which sooner or
later, must be superseded in all large

all signs indicate that even this will be-

II is doubtful If as many. and as good
bidders will be present the next time
the Almshouse property is offered for
sale. The Board Of Trustees having
directed sale by lots according to the
plot or map adopted, should have at
least began the sale a. advertised, and
giving those present who came TO buy
a chance to bid. II the prices offered
would have been too low the Trustees
could have at any time stopped or ad-
journed the sale; but $25 80 foot, by
the block or square at Front aud
Broome streets would not seem q
very bad ''starter."
The decision by the Trustees at
their meeting just before the sale to
change the mode of sale advertised,
and to offer the whole property in
bulk, which is reported to have been
done By request, would seem to be in
the interest of speculators. 1t cer-
tainly Is not in the lnlerest Of the gen
eral pubic, who ought to have a
chance to bid at q sale of the public
property, and thereby give the land
a chance to sell Itself.

Figures won't Lie.

Figures won't lie but Bro. Scofield
UiA-make them do that same
thing. That is, when figures get
in bad company they are h()able to
20 astray. Thus he leads the UNI
suspecting figures to say that last
year, four candidates on the Tenn
perance Ticket received an average
vote of 5634, while this year, under
similar circumstances, as he would
deceive you into believing, the
same gentlemen received an aver
age vote of 2769, and therefore we
are losing ground by loss in one
year of 1861 votes.
Well, well. Last year the aver
age Democratic vote was 6465.
This year it is 1929. Loss, 254b.
Nearly as bad off as the Temper
ance party. Last year the average
Republican vote was 600. This
year it was 5634. Gain, 563a.
At this rate one more year will
wipe out the entire Temperance
and Democratic vote, the city will
be unanimously Republican and
Mississippi will be safe. Bro. SEQ
field is logical "nubbin'," Bro.
Scofield is.
Again. In another place our
same good brother enumerates some
of the bad things about the FREE
MAN as the reason why it has been
so signally rebuked by the voters
of Parkersburg, and why the cause
of temperance has so refrigerated in
this community"
Well, let's to the arithmetic
again. Figures won't lie."
Last year the entire Temperance
and Republican vote of the city
combined was 5633. This year the
Republican and Temperance vote
combined amounts to 1929, gain
of 259
That's at once rather a pleasant
sort of rebuke and a passably
healthy way of retrograding. Fetch
on your figures, that, like George
Washington, can't tell lie.

No Gore.

"The canting bigot who penned
the lie knew it was false when he
wrote it."-Jouamal.
Now we're in for it for a fact.
Some of our F. F. V. friends have
suggested Fort Foreman as COM
handing place and pistols and cof-
fee as the proper accoutrements !;
but we're really afraid we'll have to
disappoint them. Our affairs are
not in a shape to allow us to en-
bark in the Riddlcbarger business,
and we shall object to.being shot at
and missed. We shouldn't so much
object to the former if the latter
could be well assured, but we don't
like contingencies.
No, friends, you'll have to excuse
US. We can neither proffer nor ac-
cept a challenge to fight duel,
even of the modern variety, and a
"decent respect for the opinions of
mankind' require us to give to the
world the reasons which impel us
to such declination.
First. We decline because our
Journal brother IS mad and we are
not. and we know how awfully
fighting hurts when fellow isn't
mad.
Second There might be some
boys around with toy pistols, and a
fellow might accidentally get shot,
and we don't want to be shot; at
least that's the way we feel at the
present writing.
Third. Brother Scofeld has his
whisky-revenues to collective
have our anti-whisky editorials to
write, and we actually haven't the
time to spare to study up the Code
and practice sufficiently to enable
us to get off a duel with the sang
froid and ecIat that would be
likely to satisfy the exacting de-
mands and advanced tastes of a
Parkersburg audience.
For these and other good and suf-
ficlent reasons our anxious friends
will have to- forego all anticipated
ecstacies in witnessing the rock
ribbed sides of Fort Foreman drip
ping with editorial gore.

Richie Gazette VS.. Rev. l.. E.
Peters.

We clip this from thelast Gazette !:
"Rev. L. e. Peters deserves to be
placed on a pedestal, as the cham
pion dodger in this State. In a
speech at the Baptist General Asso-
citation of West Virginia, lately in
session at Parkersburg, he said, eve
can't trust paper that is afraid to
define it's position. When they see
our cause succeeding beyond any
doubt, then scores of them will be
on our side" We said that when
Mr.. Peters charged the newspaper
men of this State with seeking the
winning side, trucking to power,
pandering to public opinion, he
uttered that which is false Or show
ed ine1cusable ignorance. He takes
nearly a column in the West Vir-
ginia FREEMAN in replying to us
but does not meet theissue, evading
it at every point. Mr.. Peters ought
to know that cunning is not one Of
the characteristics of the calling to
which he processes to belong"
Our observation has taught us
that it is one of the arts Of "dodg-
ers' to accuse the other fellow of
lodging. When out of ammunition
it's quite convenient to say, CPL
fire no more because you dodge"
1.-THE Gazette had given it's read
ers some of Mr.. Peters reply, they
could have judged whether he evad-
ed the issue. 1t is hardly fair to
the Gazette's many readers for it to
say Of prominent minister of the
gospel that she uttered that which
is false or showed inexeusable ig-
norance, "and then dismiss his reply
as cunning" without giving those
same readers any part of that reply.
Again: Why does the Gazette 90
beating about the bush $50 far from
the point? Why not join on the
main issue? Peters said, eve can't
trust paper that is afraid to define
its position" If that is false let
the Gazette SO say and so prove.
There is little profit in general de-
malls and denunciations. If Mr..
Peters took any positions that are
erroneous and untenable let them
be pointed out, and let reason and
argument rather than assertion be
used to dislodge him.
ave can't trust paper that is
afraid to define its position" On
that rock at least, we rather guess
any reverend, or any one else, may
stand and invite attack with i'm
punity,
