People OF impulsive temperament mixed up these

said plainly that il was not much OF hot day and

There are several principles to be- Oh
!erved in new towns which must be
f-nllowed out: if the; town is to be sue
cess. Chief among these principles is
the one Of .hefp your neighbor." 1t is a
gery easy thing and q very shert<sighted
thing to say, Eve are not here for our
health" and then send OUT Of town for
what you want instead Of patronizing
home industries, or perhaps start an
opposition to one already establishetls
because there seems 10 be little money
in it and tile: idea never occurs to these
men that where there is a living for one
there will be starvation for two. But,
some one will say, we can get our own
goods cheaper in this way. Let us see if
you can. A successful town is one,
where plenty Of money is in free circu-
lation. The mere fact that it passes
rapidly from hand to hand is enough to.
guarantee the success Of the town. Ev-
cry one is satisfied because every one has
money. On the other hand, take the
extreme case of a town where every one
buys where he can buy the cheapest.
Nine times out Of ten, especially in a
small froLtier town, this must be at
some large town in the east. In this
case then, all the circulating medium
that we spoke of in the former illustra-.
ton as going to make a.suceessful town
is sent. away and the consequence is
inevitable. The town is as dead as a
horse thief at a Montana neck-tie social.
This illustration of all the money being
sent ont of town Is, Of course an extreme
one, but it serves to establish the princi-
pie which serves to make a successful
place. Looking ut the matter IN this
light, is it not perfectly manifest that
| It ismore profitable to spend your money
Iathomep OF course you pay more for
the articles you buy, but you get corresI
|pondingly higher wages II you are a
Iaboring man or more for your goods if
yon are a merchant Tliis principle we
have illustrated is scarcely a greater
factor IN the success OF a town than the
principles Of avoiding over production

TIE meeting that occurred Yesterday be:
tween . number of representative citizens
and President RoBERr GARRETT, ofths B. B
o. railroad, and other officers, in
his parlor car, win be productive
Of UGH good. The trouble here
sofore, has been that the more prominent
officers Of the road aud the business men Of
our city have not oftsnsr come together.
We feel sure that the gentlemen present,
who heard Mr.. GARRErT's remarks, were
not only pleased with the spirit of iberality
that pervadtd them, but with the young
President himself The vim, earnestness
and clear business views which character
lied his remarks, could not help but i'm
press one with the capacity Of the
mar. Then the earnest friendship he
expressed toward orr city is 9 token of
closer relations hsnceforth between this
great corporation and the city. Let US meet
these gentlemen half way and invite them
oeCms often in our midst, and we believe
they viii DO their share in giving rs every
( cihty and help for the promotion OF the
business and manufacturing interests of
Wheeling that could be expected.

hearts Of this community to do all in their
power for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad

II will be q misfortune to this city if the
First Branch accepts Mr.. MYLEs resigna-
ton. he is one of the Oldest and most
conscientious and leyelhsaded members Of
Council. BE has served to our certain
knowledge at least twelve years in either
one Branch or the other, and to dispense
with his services should not be thought Of.
We know Mr.. MYLEs has been subjected to
some irritation and possibly imaginary
humiliation, By the Committee on
Police not sustaining his rulings,
but that happens frequently
and ought not to be treasured up against
the Council. Especially is this the view to
take since Council on last Monday night en-
dorsed his ruling by Diminishing the commit
tee from further duty on the ground there
was no further charges before it. This Is
a royal vindieation of the correctness Of
MI. MYLEs' position, and should be ample
satisfaction for the adverse action of the
committee.

THR Mormons, in their general confer
epce that has lust been held, come ont with
the American people, and give vent to the
old-time expressions of diSapproyal Of the
actions Of the government. They say:
Time has revealed that the Edmunds law
not enacted in the interests Of morality,
but was expressly designed to destroy the
principle Of the Mormon religion. The
Ercssest immoralities on the part Of nom
Mormons, Aourishing under the very eyes
of the laws administration, are
viewed with the utmost indifference, if
committed outside the matrimonial relation.
McrmoDs renounGng their religion are then
unmolested." They feel certain that the
people of thi5 country will soon be con-
TinCed that there is 3 good deal after all in
polygamy. Notwithstanding the fact that
sone Of their number are sentenced every
few days for this crime against the Govern
ment, they hold firmly to their doctrine and
declare their determination to continue Its
practice st al hazards. When fsnsticism
controls men, the Government finds it al.
most impossible to prescribe mild means to
control them. They viii hold fast to their
ideas and seek to practice them in spite Of
the penalties Of law.

Frederick the Great was not only wise,
but be was also very witty. On one occs'
sion a Catholic priest refused to allow an
officer, who had not complied with all his

ground. Frederick sent for the priest, and
asked him:

A New Element In Our Language.

A writer in the American Magazine o.
History traces the origin of the common
American abbrevisrion 20. K" to the Choc
taw language. The Choctsv Indians have
a word "oke," which is pronounced exactly
as the English letters o k and which means
it is correct; it is true. The word is found
in ByinDgton's Choctsw New Testament
and is there used to mean it ia so. General
Andrew Jackson was the first person to in
roduce the Choctaw WORD into our Anglo
American speech. The Wings used to say
when General jackson indorsed applications
for Office with the letters o K, that these
letters were seriously intended by him a;
authorizations for "0l Rorrect."

The Bad Alligator of the Blue Spring.

Tom Williams bay mule, which has been
at work on the railroad at Blue Spring, was
allowed to Craze on the green point across
the mouth Of the Blue Spring Creek, and,
after q while, lay down on this point to rest,
with its back to the river. Only q few min
utes elapsed before an immense alligator
was seen to dash out Of the river. Its Jaws
stretched to its utmost, and, as he came
within reach, the teeth of the alligator were
buried in the poor mules flesh just in the
resr of the shoulder blades. In the terrible
scramble that ensued the lower jaw, it was
supposed, was broken and the shoulder
blades Of the mule were left bare. An ALI

The elections this fall will have an IN
usual Specification both in State and nation
al politics. The Republicans seem inclined
to hamper the national Administration as
much IS possible. They now have in the
U. S. Senate a majority of eight and this
win remain so till 1887. They have it in
their power, if they are united, to make it
almost impossible for President CLEVELAND
to carry out many Of bis principles of re-
form. From what has been said by ZONE
Of the Republican Senators like SHERMAN,
EDNUNDs, LOGAN, WILSON, ALLISON and
others il is very probable that such attempts
viii be made, if an encouragement
b:S given them in the elections
this fall that BY throwing distractions in
the way and breaking down the Democratic
Administration they can hold the Senate
Republican.
The terms Of twenty-five Senators end on
the Cd Of SSreh, 1887. Of these nine are
Democrats and sixteen are Republicans.
TIE Democrats are: GRAY of Delaware,
byoSEs Of Florida, GoRNAS of Maryland,
.inIEOEGE Of Mississippi COcKRELL Of dis,
n15ouri, FAN Of Nevada, JACKSON of Tennes-
see, MAxEY Of Texas, and CAMDEN of West
Virginia. The Republicans are: MILLER Of
California, HEwLEY Of Connecticut HARsIsoS
Of Indiana, CoSGER Of Michigan, Hale OF
Maine, DEEER Of Massachusetts,, MCMnLAS
of Minnesota, VAN WTCE Of Nebraska,
Swell Of New Jersey, MILLER Of
New York, SHERMAN Of Ohio MITCHELL Of
Pennsylvania, ALDRICH Of Rhode Island,
EDMUSDs Of Vermont MALONE Of VIZ.
ginia and SAWYER Of Wisconsin.
The Democrats feel confident that the
seats Of their nine Senators can be filed
with Democrats in 1887. The turning
point in the control of the Senate Is on
ths success or failure Of the Democrats in
Ohio, Virginia and New York this year
and in the other elections held in 1886. II
they can gain Eve Senators, as they hope
and expect to do, they win have q ma
