They are having the ~prohibitory ques-
ton up for discussion in West Virginia,
also, and it is very evident that prohibit.
ton is advocated by many ~hypocrites there
as well as here. The Wheeling REG IsrsE,
which opposes the fraud, says in a recent
issue: The editor Of the REGIsIER is a
temperate man; he has not in all his life
drank as much whisky, putting it all to-
gether, as the chief advocate OF prohibition
in the Senate drank in a single week
lart winter" And very %pertInently
it asks: as it better to be fanatical-
y Incorporate on the temperance
question, and get drunk, than to be con-
stsntly temperate in opposition to fsnat-
ical aud imperative measures, and keep
soberg' The temperance crsnks would an
Swer this question in the affirmative,
doubtless, because to admit the contrary

The explanation Is offered that In
view Of 8 possible probability" Of a
railroad company desiring to build 3
depot on the outskirts Of the city and
within the corporate lines, it might DO
preferred that the depot site should be
beyond these limits, and that the bill is
anticipating such an event and seeking
to give Council power to act in the
premises. If this explanation explains,
well and good. il not, it is because we

CONTRACTING THE CITY LIMITS.

A bill has been introduced and is nov
pending in the Legislature, giving the
Council Of Wheeling power to contract
the city limits.
On its face that is rather a singular
proposition. There is no complaint
that the city is overgrown in any diree-
ton: and there is no genersl alsrn at
its present rate of progress; nor have we
heard any fears expressed about the
future of the city giving signs Of being
toe big to handle.
The complaint has generally been OF
a contrary nature. The proportions
have been too contracted for our md
ern notions. The opportunities for
spreading have been too limited. Thu
hills hem US In on the east and the river
ON the west. We al only grow in one
direction and that is down the river
after the fashion Of a shoe string.
The whole bent Of the talk has been
for extending rather than contracting
the city limits. We want the hill cut
.wsv and leveled down so that we may
low ND the valley. We rebel against
onr ,.pent up Utica" We want more
room. -.o

THE Intelligencer publishes and re-
pudiates, at the same time, an inter-
view with Ex-Governor ST.. JOHN, of
Kansas, on the prohibition business.
That is to say, the Intelligencer heads
the publication with the disclaimer,
"this is not q special dispatch to the
lntelligencer." Now the query arises
whether this unusual proceeding vas
intended as an announcement to the
public that the Intelligencer don't take
any stock in Gov. ST.. JOINS opinions;
or whether it was only one of those ex-
cessive precautions that paper is
taking to avoid the impression going
among the temperance people that it
does not endorse Gov. ST. JOHN, on the
one hand, OIL going among the anti-pro-
hibition people that it does not endorse
Gov. CLICK, IN the other hand.
Which is which?

The following editorials appear this
in the Cincinnati V"lkstreund
tdemocratic) and the Cincinnati Yplks-
blatt (renubl can):
The Volksfrehnd says: "Tte demo-
cratic convention has solved It's prob |
lem in the most excellent manner, by
placing Judge Hoadly as candidate for
governor at the head OF the ticket. His
nom nation will be received with grpa:
enthusiasm and with just pride both by
democrats and bv the numerous inde-
pendent voters throughout the state, for
Hoadly Is. bevond question, the most
brilliant preventative which the dcmoc-
racy OF 90 to-day possess, 8.
With Judge Hoady at the head Of tie
ticket, the democratic party has blight,r
pro.pec;s OF triumphant victory in
October than it has ever had There i.
not even q shadow Of doubt that, in
virtue of his great popularity, his emf
nent gifts, and his acknow lodged liber-
atty, Judge Hoadly will command the
united support OF the democracy as we'll
as poll the great independent vote, and
thus insure the most brilliant success, 10
the coming election"
The Volksblatt says: "After hot
and bitter struggle, such as is seldom
made for mere state nomination, Judge
George Hoadly triumphed in the second
ballot OF Yesterdays convention over
his competitors and opponents His
nomination for the Office of governor,
and thus as the standard bearer of the
democratic party, Is for two reasons a
significant and joyful event. In the first
place, it is victory for the younger,
treer. and more progressive element Of
the democratic party over the old, mar
row minded, bigoted bourbonism, which,
to the injury of the country and TO the
injury of the democratic party, has go
long ruled in its councils. And, second.
| Iy, this nomination is triumph Of the
cause OF personal liberty, OF which the
population OF the whole state recogni
zes Mr.. Hoadly as the most able defer
der and the most faithful adherent
among all democratic politicians. Tnis
special significance OF Hoadly's nomin-
alton has OF late been repeatedly 80 tho.
roughly discussed by the volksb att,
that IL is acarcelv necessary to add anv-
thing to what We have already said. It
is, therefore, a matter OF course that the
nomination of Hoadly will be most w
fully and cordially received by the lib
eral portion of the democratic party and
independent voters, and will he mos,
zaalously supported bv them Hoadly
is by far the abless, the best, and the
strongest candidate whom the democrat.
ic party could have chosen as its leader
In the impending conflict, and the most
dangerous opponent for the republican
party
Yesterday the Cincinnati A"zsiger
said: "The democratic state convention
has chosen Judge Hoadly as its canii.
date for the governorship, and has there.
by made the best and the strongest nom.
ination possible under the circumstan-
ces."
