BECAUSE the city can increase her bond
ed Indebtedness 100000 without exceed
ing her constitutional limit, is it any reason
she should borrow to the uttermost fsrthing
of her credit unless it be absolutely neees-
ssry2 There may be some great emergen-
cy in the near future which the city cannot
now foresee, when it would be necessary to
make q loan but because of her improyi-
dence she would be unable to do so. Such
q condition of affairs would be great over
sight. The wise man always puts some
thing aside for the rainy day.
Council might bear this in mind: That
if the loan asked for is unnecessarily large
the voters may take it into their heads to
defeat it. This is worth considering because
some people think the estimates too high
and ought to be cut down in all directions
s, that an unreasonable sum may not be
asksd.

IT said that q remarkable recluss
resides near Kingston, Tenn. The
story runs that sixteen years ago there was
lively temperance agitation in East Ten
nessee. The editor Of the East Tennes
seean requested young lady, Miss SEWER,
daughter of the first governor Of the State,
TO write q communication on the temper
auce side of the question. The article was
written, and il skinned the saloon keepers
without calling names. The saloon men
visited the office in body and demanded
the name Of the author OF the article
threatening if it was not given
to tear up things. The editor
fearing violence yielded to the demand.
When il became known that Miss SEWER
was the author she becsms the talk Of the
county. The young lady heard Of it aud
was very much mortified. For two DAYS
she wept continuously. Afterwards she re-
fused,to 60 out and from that day to this
has never seen any person outside OF her
family. The house is frequently full Of
company, but on such occasions she hides
in her room, refusing to meet her old
friends. Such en- exceptional case OF ssu-
si6veness is perhaps without parallel. In
these days lady correspondent when she
stirs up a sensation promptly utilities the
boom and shows no aversion to little uoto-

The city Of Wheeling IS very fond Of the
flowing bowl or else there is no reliance
to be placed on figures. There are $4,000
souls in the city-not more. On Friday
night there were 1913 applications for coffee
houses and ordinary Licenses. This nun
her devided into the population gives about
one saloon for every 26O souls, Continuing
the investigation further, if there be
on an average FIVE persons to
each family, the ratio would
De 6fytwo adult males for each ga
loon. A saloon ought to make $500
profit per annum in order to keep the pro-
plietor and pay the heavy license and other
expenses. In osdeI to make this SUN be
ought to sell at least twice that much, or
$1,000. lfl23, the number of applications
for license, be multiplied by $4,000, the es-
t;mated sales, the result would be 1868, 900,
which, II the calculation il correct, shows
the sum expended annually by the citizens
Of Wheeling for their beer and sundries.
