wheeling, W. Va, is reported q total
wreck financially The city has borrowed
till it can borrow no more. 1t appears that
legal limit for the city's debt Of As per
cent. has been fixed, and that the limit has
been reached. 1t is more than probable
that the city's debi burden is now so
great that were an adequate yearly tax
to be levied the result would be to largely
drive trade and industry away from the
city. Bradstreet's has often pointed out
that the growing difficulty with the cities Of
the country is the confusion resulting from
100 much borrowing. Money has been Dor
rowed for all sorts of purposes, down to
eking out current tax levies for ordinary
purposes. We can only repeat that under a
Democratic government cities should pay
as they go or stop going
This extract is from Bradstreets Reports
and when so notorious misstatement Of
facts is given in journal Of such high
standing, it is mete some notice should be
taken and correction made. Several Of the
metropolitan journals have printed state
meuts of the same character, all equally
untrue and they will be set at rest by
plain statement ofthe facts.
Under the city's charter, Wheeling may
contract specific debts, ratified by the peo-
ple, 10 an amount equal to 5 per centum OF
her real and personal property as assessed
for State taxation. In round numbers,
Wheeling's property thus assessed, amounts

Of course you know Golf is to be our man

man after my own heart. He would prefer
10 keep clear of the hastings this time, but
Wes says he must run and that settles 1t.
Now Golf is sitting in his Clarksburg pal
ace, thinking what excuse he will make to
the liquor vote in this county, for past con-
duct. 1t was pretty rich the way he sold
them out in 1882 and passed himself as a
liquor man. You never saw anything
done more neatly, not even Scott 5

Germans would have believed anything and
If you'd asked them how Atkinson stood

imagine what Golf going to say about that
little business, unless he talks with yellow
orators as somebody calls the twenty dollar
gold pieces. 1t must be awful humiliatiug
to a man of Bill Hubbards standing to be
knocked this way and that and made first
hot and then cold, but Its all for the honor

A correspondent of the Manchester
Examiner says that he once received
from Dean Stanley the most inscruta-
BILE epistle he ever beheld. 1t was writ
ten upon poor blue paper and in two
kinds of ink, the latter portion in black,
and the former writing had thin, tim
id, scratchy look, and suggested the
thought that it had been wr tten with
an old pen with only one prong, or with
the point of old stocking needle. There
we no distinct letters as such, but a
series of nervous pecks at tie paper
with something smeared with ink. Il

days" says the correspondent, ''to de-
cipher the missive, but to no purpose.

labored at it more or less for five weeks.
