The Price of Wheat.-The New

He II TICC oH w nC INV
York Sun Is not believer in higher
prices for wheat, except as the result OF
speculative manipulation. 1t says:
IL is tiresome to repeat that there is
more wheat in the world than there is
any necessity for, and that, consequent
ly, the price Of the cereal cannot be put
to higher figures except by sheer ma
nipulation, which, with the existing
telegraph and transportation facilities,
must naturally be Of very short dura-
ton. Even suppOsing the possibility of
Il considerable decrease in the worlds
supply of wheat, its price could never
return to the exorbitant figures which
the Chicago corner-makers used to get
for it and expect to get for it still. The
substitutes for it are too many and too
plentiful.

Epidemic.-An epidemic of whis-
key drinking seems to have broken out
among the young men Of Shepherds
town. For the past three weeks drunk
enness has prevailed to an Alarming ex-
tent, and it is said that on last Saturday
night there were no less than twenty
eight young men drunk or very much
under the influence of liquor. This is
q rather humiliating statement, for gen.
orally there is not Il more temperate
community in the State than this one.
These young men all have intelligence
enough to know that they are bringing
ruin upon themselves, dishonor upon
their families and disgrace upon the
community. Last spring the people of
this town voted for license-now they
are reapng their reward.

Bridge Company, and Messrs. Melon.
aid & Beckwith and Green appeared for
Mr.. Mason. The case was strongly
contested on both sides from beginning
to end of the trial, and was one Of the
most interesting that has been heard in
our court for some time. The case was
given to the jury late OIL Friday after
noon, and still being unable to agreee
on Monday, the jury was discharged.
The jury in the case Of Allen & Co. VS..
Shewalter, failed to agree and was dis
charged.
From the Democrat:

Va, with feloniously and maliciously
setting fire, on the night OF November
18th, 1885, to the stable and out"bulld-
ipgs, owned by Mrs. Mary Straith, To-
Gated in this city. The warrant was
placed in the hands of Sergeant Avis,
who forthwith apprehended Mr.. Leisen-
ring (Mr. Mcknight having gone home
on VISIT, and took him before Justice
Howell. After consultation with his
attorneys, Messrs. Cleon Moore and w.
III. Travers, the accused waived exami-
nation, and was released on bail, in the
sum of seven hundred and fifty dollars,
Messrs. C. Frank Gallaher and Geo. w.
Thomas, becoming his bondsmen. We
are informed that telegram was sent to
the proper authorities at Danville,
where it is supposed young Mcknight
is, requesting his arrest. Let justice be
done.

Rfght.-The town council Of Carlisle,
Pa, has requested the chief OF police of
that city to keep all streets and alleys
clear of congregations of boys. especially
after dark. This is move in the right
direction, and Shepherdstown should
not be behind in doing well. But pa
rents can do a great deal in aiding this
good work, if they would only keep
their boys at home after supper and
give them some innocent amusement
that will keep them in the house. The
street is no place for them, and if parents
take no trouble in caring for their boys,
when young, they will certainly have
much trouble when older.

After FIick's Place.-By the fol-

After Flick's Place.-By the fol-
lowing article, which is from the Wash
ington correspondence of the Wheeling
Register of Tuesday last, it is evident
that Mr.. Flick's fat office rs United
States District Attorney is coveted by
the faithful in the Democratic ranks:
.sThere is considerable complaint
among West Virginia Democrats on ae-
count of the fact that the best paying
Federal Office in that State is still held
by Republican of the offensive order.
w. II. Fl. Flick, the United States DIS
trict Attorney for the district OF West
Virginia, is the man referred to. There
has not been an effort made to secure his
removal, but owing to the complaints
mentioned it is thought there will be at
an early day.
"It is asserted that Mr.. Flick, who is
believed by many to be very liberal IN
his political views, is in fact bitter
partisan. There are letters written by
him during the Arthur Administration,
on file at the Treasury Department,
which show him to be partyman. One
of these letters urges President Arthur
to appoint S. B. Mccormick Collector
of Internal Revenue for West Virginia,
on the grounds of McCormick's peculiar
political talents. Mr.. Flick tells Mr..
Arthur that if Mccormick is appointed
to office, he would prove valuable man
to the Republicans of the State in GER
tain coming campaign. Although a life
long professional Republican politician
this man is permitted to hold an office
which pays six or seven thousand COL
lars year under Democratic Admin
istration, in spite Of the fact that several
able, distinguished and faithful Demo-
cratic aspirants stand ready to fill his
shoes. Many good Democrats are in
dignant that so responsible and impor-
tant an office continues to be filled by
man who was so ready to pledge his
word that a Federal office should be
prostituted for party purposes" .
