superintendent of chools Morgan APP
points a Day.
Superintendent of Schools Morgan has
set apart Saturday, April 25th, as Arbor
Day for the schools in this State not closing
until May, and for the accommodation OF
the fall schools another day will be set apart
in November. The custom Of setting apart
a day for the purpose of planting trees,
shrubs, etc., originating in those Western
States which were almost destitute of a
natural growth Of timber, is gradually
spreading over the entire country. New
York has Just made Arbor Day a general
holiday throughout the State, and it is very
probable the Pennsylvania Legislature will
do the same thing before adjourning. While
West Virginia has little need of observing
The day for the purpose Of tree planting,
nature having herself clothed our hills and
valley with an abundant growth of trees,
still the day should be observed none the
less on this account. Most of our West Nlr.
rinis school houses are entirely destitute OF
anything in the way of ornamentation, the
grounds, for the most part, being bare, and
either dry and dusty in summer, or deep
with mud in the spring and autumn. With
a proper observance Of Arbor Day, a few
years will bring about a wonderful change
in this regard, and if nothing else were to be
accomplished, this one great improvement
would Justify the careful attention Superin'
tendent Morgan will give it.

c,.atsd by the News of the CONFIRMATION
of Pearson.

Created by the News of the CONFIRMATION
of Pearson.
The news that President Cleveland had
r~eappointed Postmaster Pearson created
more talk in political circles in this city
Yesterday than any event transpiring since
he Presidential election. As a general
thing. Decocrats were not overly well
pleased with the situation, and the action
ofthe President was very severely criticised
by come gentlemen, who felt that such an
important office should have been
given to q Metropolitan Democrat. Repub,,
Gesps, as q matter Of course, were pleased
with anything which was calculated in the
most remote way 10 cause comment among
Democrats, and in several quarters the hope
was expressed that Cleveland would keep
tight on in the course he was pursuing.
Quite a number of Democrats, however,
thought the appointment a good one n
welcomed the change, decided though 1t
was, from the ancient and time honored GUS
tom of putting none but tried partizans on
guard.

MY SWEETHEART,

Another large crowd was at the Opera
House last evening to see Minnie Palmer in
My Sweetheart. The audience, ~ifanything,
being larger and more enthusiastic than
that of the previous night, and Judging from
the laughter and applause which lasted from
the rising Of the curtain until the 60.
ing down of the same, there
were mons among the number who
regretted their coming, While the com
pany is unusually good. all the parts being
well taken, yet Minnie Palmer was OF
curse the bright particular star of
the evening, and whether in the
humorous or pathetic, her acting last even
ing was as good as anything we have seen
on the Opera House stage this winter, aud
showed clearly that she well deserves the
almost world wide reputation she has
achieved. Miss Palmer certainly holds q
high place in the hesrts Of Wheeling thea
ter goers, and can be assured Of an enthus-
astic patronage whenever she may revisit
our city, and in this we hope she will Uni.
tate the voter and make it early and often.

GOOD RESOLUTION,
And Dine which Should be Promptly
Passed.

And One Which Should be Promptly
Passed.
The resolution introduced into the First
Branch of Council by Mr.. McGregor, and
passed BY that body ~instructing the Com
mittee on Ordinances to carefully inspect
the gambling ordinance, and if need be,
draw up a new and more sweeping law, is a
good one, and will receive the hearty en-
dorsement of all law abiding citizens. 1t
seems to be a common fault Of our city
statutes that they are full of imperfections
and open to many constructions, and Coun-
ell could not do deter than to give the
ordinance book a general o~verhauling, codi.
tying the laws, as it were, into a compact,
harmonious, stringent whole. However, Mr..
McGregor's resolution is a step in the right
direction. and his idea should be speedily
carried cut.

The REL REBELLION.
NONews Received From Gen. Middleton.

CHICAGO, April IL.
The Daily News Winnepeg special says
Today has been one of suspense, as it was
known that Gen. Middleton would leave
Clark's crossing today. Not day has been
passed since be began his march without
news being received from him. There is
much anxiety about his fate. Middleton
himself expected a collision today or to-
morrow.
wealthy half-breed arrived TODAY from
the rebel camp, claiming to have deserted.
He asserts that Middleton is running in
peaceful quarters at Batauche and Riel hy
evadiDg him will come down to Tenchwooi
seize the supplies thier and go on to Fort
Gu Appells with two field pieces which he
bas. lie says Middieton's scouts are not worth
anything. They never sight the enemy.
whereas the half-breeds's scouts are CONSTANT
ly in range Of the government scouts.
Riel has every hope of starving the troops
out by cutting of the supplies. The fact of
the rebels crossing to the east side of the
south branch in f3rce, according to other re-
ports, together with Welsh's opinion Of our
scouts, gives his account the appearance of
being reliable. According to Welsh, Riel
says he will rule or perish. He will be king
or die. Welsh says that Riel also claims TO
have promise Of aid from the Fenians and
Irish nationalists. and says he is acting under
divine instructions.
