About this season of the wear, we read q
great deal about Indian Summer. Some of
the writers are able 10 locate exactly its be-
ginning and end; others are able to judge its
duraton 10y the date of its beginning; while
still others are able to predict the advent ,du-
ration and character of winter 10y this, to us,
phautmsnal season, Indian Summer.
We have always failed in our cndravor TO
find any special season other thln the Au
tuna, which comes to us naturally AS a kind
of compromise between Summer and VIM

On Saturday night last, meeting OF the
property holders on Church-st was held III
Col, Jno, r. Rouzer's hall. The object of the
meeting was to consider the practicabllity OF
lowering the street from the brow of the hill
about opposite Mr.. Geo. W. Kings proper
ty, each way a distance of one hundred feet
or more. The matter was discussed and a
committee appointed to determine the proper
depth at the summit of the hill, which, while
it will benefit properties on the east, or low
side of the street, it will not damage those
on the west or high side; also, to report the
very lowest cost at which such excavation
will be made. This is to be DONE if at all,
prior to the placing of the new coat OF lime
stone on our street.

A Fearless Public OalOrr

It's the good fortune Of the people Of
Wheeling to have for their Mayor an in
telligent man whose sole aim is to know
his duty and perform it without fear or
fayor-a business man whose interest in
politics is merely that Of good citizen.
He receives no pay and is charged with
responsibilities without the power to sup
port the demands which the law makes
upon him. He can complain to Council
or the courts, and here ends his authority
over an officer whose conduct the law re-
quires the Mayor to supervise.
With a high conception OF his obliGa'
ton, the Mayor has endesvored to face
every responsibility. He brought to the
attention OF Council the stubborn refusal
OF the Chief OF Police to proceed against
the gamblers. To show its contempt for
the Mayor and its own obligations,
Council referred that complaint 10 COM
mittee which had nothing to do with the
matter and did nothing with it. The his
tory Of the second complaint is 80 recent
that everybody has it in mind in all its
scandalous details.
The Chief Of Police and the partisan
majority in Council have taken their
stand against the people. The Mayor is
on the other side and is not to be driven
of. He is fighting with rare courage the
battle OF the people. Public sentiment is
aroused by the brutal assault on him, and
though Council may take another course
it cannot blind the people or stop the
work OF reform so well begun.

Nine. Marthesi, the famous singing
teacher, was lately present at concert in
Paris, where Mime. Nilsson appeared as
one OF the soloists. Here is what the eel.
ebrated teacher says about the celebrated
prima donna: "The magnet which at
tracted the wanderers on this occasion was
called Christine Nilsson. The once much
celebrated Swedish Nightingale had con-
sented to take part in concert for the
benefit OF school for the blind. Every.
body fastened to bring his mite to the
beautiful charity. and to listen to the
beautiful tones Of the diva. must tell
you that we were bitterly disappointed.
The once unsurpassed 0phelis, who de.
lighted the world by the mellowness oil
her voice, her poetry-impregnated decla-
nation, and her lovelp appearance, signal
lied herself to-day by screaming, absence
OF poetry and mannerism. Silver tones no
longer came from her diamond and order
bedecked breast. Although the blonde
Swede received many flowers, artists and
connoisseurs sunk their heads to drown q
silent tear 10 the Nilsson of former days."

It is a lamentable fact that very few
faithless public officers are brought to JUS
tice. "What is everybody's business is no.
body's business" Citizens are Indifferent
about the management Of public affairs,
or lack the courage and the high sense OF
duty to their part without fear or favor.
Ii they know OF wrong they leave 1t to
somebody else to right it. II some one
else opens the proceedings they wish him
success, but they prefer not to contribute
their testimony to that end. This is be-
cause some men are naturally Indifferent
some prefer peacs at any price to conflict
in a righteous cause, and some are born
towards.
Public officers who do wrong presume
on these well understood conditions Theil
frat thought is that exposure will never
come, their next thPt by delays and
shrewd tactics substatial harm to them
selves can be warded OF. Generally they
are not mistaken. II the assault is made
they are ableto gather about them thel'
own kind, who have their reasons fol
banding together against the people: The
defenders OF wrong in public places arc
much more jealous to protect the wrong
doer than the people arc to pursue and
punish him, and the common experience
is that they are oltener successful than the
people are.
The plain truth is that the people are
not easily aroused. They are slow to an
ger. Notwithstanding the frequent com
plant that no man 10 public place is free
from calumny, it is true that the people
give their servants the benefit OF the
doubt. When they do move they move
as the City OF New York moved against
the Tweed Democratic ring, as Philadel'
phia moved against her Republican ring
as other cities have moved against Other
rings. Then the venal go down and tie
people take possession of their own.

At last we have "a change for the sake
OF change" in the Wheeling postofiice. 1t
is admitted that the present incumbent,
Col. Sterling, has been honest and efficient
ia the discharge Of his duty. We do not
believe that there is man Of the oppos-
ing party who will say TO the contrary.
In the Post Office Department Postmaster
Sterling stands in the front rank with the
best. True, charges have been raised
against him, but this was merely formal
compliance with the notice given by the
Postmaster General that something had
to be trumped up as pretext The sufEi-
Gent fact is that Col. Sterling goes out OF
the Wheeling postolIice with an official re-
cord not only untarnished butexpectional-
ly good.
The successor is a gentleman Of good
business qualities and character above re-
proach. There is nothing whatever to be
said against him; all to be said for him.
He is as pronounced Democrat as Col.
Sterling is Republican. He "a an active
party man, and it is for this reason that he

that Col. Sterling is turned out, He is in
experienced in the work Of the postofiice,
as any other new man would be. He will
have to learnitall he cannot begin where
his predecessor leaves oil.
These suggestions are made, not to show
that a Democrat ought not to have the
poStofIice, nor oconvey theimpression that
the ISrELMaEScER is shedding tears over
the dismissal Of Republican. The intent
is to bring forcibly before the public mind

For ten days past the viennese have
been breathleSsly watching the progress
Of bank fraud trial, in its way as excit-

Late last night the jury returned It's YER

bered, shot himssltlNst winter after swi1d-
ling the Neider characteristic Escompte

KuelIler was by far the subtler rogue,
for not only had he contrived to get nine
teen-twentieths OF the booty into his
rockets, bnt after paying his tool, Am
schley, 10000 forms for helping him IN
his schemes, he actually managed to Dor
row it all back again. But for this little
incident there would be q close parallel
between that worthy and Mr.. -, Of
New York, the familiar Of Mr.: Ward.
When Jauner's body was picked up one
OF KuelIIer's cards was found on It, on
which were the worda, at was his doing"
Batween them the trio had within the
two wears pre- ceding the crash succeeded
in abstracting from the bank safes securi'

Aorirs, MI.

Ua has nothing of the desperate or game
ster about him, and his unctuous humility
smacks rather OF a village sacristry than
Of the highway. He is under 30, nat
uralized Austrian Hebrew and began his
career by cornering grain and spirits; he
played for enormous stakes, and iof q
time successfully. The Stock Exchange
broke him for time, and he TOOK 70
swindling. For two years he had been
discounting worthless bills almost daily, al
the Escompte Gesellmschaft, withdrawing
them before maturity with money ad'
yanced by Jauner. The next morning he
would begin the same game over again.
When this device failed heplunged still
further into crime. He borrowed sums Of
the Escompte Gesellschait, through Jau
npr, and lent them to shaky sugar hrma
at huge commissions. The failure oil these
firms killed the golden goose and drove
the weaker rogue to suicide. Some Of
Kut ffler's statements were astounding
lie declared that early in 1884 he was
worth over a million forms, which he
says he lost through the perfidy Of Vienna
banks. lie also staggered his hearers Dy
asserting that in 1883 he had virtually
saved the Vienna money market: There
seems to be some foundation for this start,
ling story, as the president Of the court
himself admitted.
The main Of telling his tale was too much
for KutlIler's sensitive soul. He fire.,
quenily melted into tears in the course O.
the trial, and during the speech Of hif
counsel, DR.. Singer, he broke down alto
gether, Just as Fish did. But all this tardy
display OF fine feeling did not save him
for the Judge condemned him, again like
Fish, to seven years Of hard labor, with
the additional aggravation Of a fast ofone
day per month.
