Hon. j. Stone has returned from Mad
ison and gives it as his opinion that there
is mischief on foot among the legislators.
The point that Mariner and his friends
now bring is that the fair reputation of
the state must not be stained by open re-
pudiation. The servants of the people
at the capital cannot afford to look on
and see the citizens of Watertown plav
the role of repudiators with perfect tenn
Gritty. Well, there are two sides to this
theory. The history of the manner in
which this debt was contracted, we he.
lieve, offers some palliating circumstance
to our position as repudiato o.
Mr.. Mariner claims, we understand, that
at one time he offered, through Mr.. Wer
Itch, to surrender large number ofour
bonds tor some So cents On the dollar and
the offer was not accepted. We doubt
this statement very much, as it is gener
ally understood Mr.. Mariner has never
shown any willingness to compromise.
He wants Mr.. Hall to go to Madison mex
week and argue the legal points of oul
case with him.

Tele0rdDh Consultation

The war between the Western Union
and the Mutual Union Telegraph COM
panies has resulted in the virtual sur
render of the Mutual into the hands of
the Western Union. The Mutual Union
has assented to the leasing of their line
to the Western Union and to this ar
rangerent seven-eighths of the Mutual
stockholders had expressed their approval.
This consolidation brings the Western
Union before the public again as mon
opoly, but whether the public will be the
losers by the transaction remains to be
seen. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad are
looming up in the telegraph business, and
is liable to give the Western Union some
trouble. The Baltimore people are about
to lay cable to Europe which must
have tendency to bring down the pres.
ent nigh cable rates.

pose of President ArthuI's Trip.

WASHINGTON, D. G., July SO-The En-
gineer in charge Of the river and harbor
improvements at Cincinnati reports as fol-
lows On the improvement Of the Big
Sandy river in Kentucky, the engineer in
his report says Tho character Of the work
done and that Of the country through
which this river and its forks pass is
such that the Improvement cannot be
permanent The condition OF the banks,
the changes in the river caused by fresh
cts, etc, are such, he thinks, as to show the
necessity OF yearly appropriations If the
present improved channels are to be kept
open. He estimates the cost OF the COM
pletion Of the work at $ll2,645, OF which
he thinks $50, 600 can be eprotitably expend-
ed during theyear. On the improvement
OF the Guyandotte river in West Virginia,
tie engineer recommends that Congress
authorize the Secretary Of War to take such
steps as may be necessary for the removal
OF Pecks and Rogers mill dams, which, he
reports, are obstructing and are sources OF
danger to navigation. He thinks 5000
can be proftably expended during the
next year. The amount already
appropriated is Sl0,500; amount ex.
expended S9,0Sl; amount available July 1st,
1888, Sl.4l9. On the improvement OF the
Little kanawha river, W. Va, he says the
act OF 1852 appropriated $1,000 for this
work, with the proviso "ttst no part Of
this amount shall be expended until the
Little kanawha Mining Company shall
have filed with tho Secretary Of War to be
approved by him. its agreement not to
charge ina any manner any tolls on the Little
Kanawha river" The engineer reports as
follows: A correspondence has been had
with this company but they have failed to
comply with this condition, and there
Gems to be very little probability that they
will do SO. This money is not therefore
available for this work, and is not likely to
be without further sction OF Congress. He
estimates $40G7S will be required for the
completion Of the work il carried out,
which amount, he thinks, can be protita-
bly, expended during the next year.

Preparations are now in an advanced
state for the annual exhibition OF the West
Virginia Exposition and State Fair Associ.
alton. Space in the different halls will be
awarded TO exhibitors next week, the pref.
erence being given to exhibitors at former
fairs who desire to occupy the same space
as last year. A corps Of advertisers will be
started out to-day, who will thoroughly bill
the country within one hundred miles Of
Wheeling on all sides, The prospects for
good exhibition and good attendance
are alike excellent.
Among the alterations this year will be
the erection OF temporary floral hall, or
structure for the exhibition OF plants and
flowers, This will be placed beneath the
trees to the right Of the main entrance and
near the main building and dance stand.
It will consist merely OF pyramidal shelves,
in three tiers, with promenades between,
and will have no roof. Next year the per.
N lnent floral hall will be erected. The
provision for flowers outside oil horticultu,
raj hall will give needed space for
exhibiting displays coming more prop.
erly within the purpose for which the hall
was erected. in this hall will be one ex-
hibit Of unusual interest-samples Of grain,
vegetables and fruits Of al varieties, shown
by the Eastern Ohio Horticultural and Ag.
ricultural Association. The space between
the main hall and horticural building will
be reserved for a roadway and promenades,
and the engines and heavy machinery will
be placed east Of horticultural and machin.

A COOPERATIVE scHEmE.
The New Opposition Telegraph Company
of The Striking Operators.


PITTSBURGH, July 30.-The headquarterf
Of the Brotherhood Of Telegraphers on the
third floor OF the Carr block, Penn and
Eleventh streets, presented an animated
aspect this morning, score or more o
operators being present discussing the pro
posed new telegraph line, which is in
tended to lay out Jay Gould's Western
Union to an extent that will make diyi
dends in Copiousy watered stock more
than doubtful quantity.
The scheme, 1t should be explained, Ii
essentially cooperative, and is possibly
practicable. The Brotherhood's recon-
mendation will no doubt 90 great way to
convince the business public OF this, mas
much as the members understand thor.
oughly what they propose, and it is hardly
probable, as experts, they would go wan
dering after IN electric Will O. the Wisp.
The projectors condense the prospectus
thus: An Association Is wanted which can.
not be sold out, consolidated, or fall into
the bands Of spectators, and in which nc
stockholder can obtain any advantage over
another. Tosecure these ends, it is proposed
First, That the capital shall not be
represented by stock, but shall be the
aggregation OF initiation tees Of life
membership. SGcoud, In lieu Of in
terest or dividend, each member
shall enjoy certain privileges in the use
OF the wires. Third, The Investment
shall be returned as Life Insurance to heil
or devisee, with increment in some ratio to
the prosperity OF the Association ut the
time Of death. Suppose the membership
fee be placed at $500, each member TO re-
ceive annually ticket emitting the holder
to free telegraphing to the amount OF $2C
Tor 10 per cent?. While the capital Is III
tact and the surplus less than 10 per cen,
the death payment shall be the
SAME as the original investment $1,000
When the surplus earnings exceed II
per cent ON the capital, the death
payment shall be $500 and SO on SlO0 being
added TO the death payment for each 10
per cent OF surplus accumulation. A stock
which should pay 10 percent and aCcumu'
