What 20 Editors Say
About Il.
Some Hot Editorials for Cool
Readers.
WE THOUGHT 1T BEST Tg
SAVE AND SERVE THEM
THUS.

We never did think it well to
serve hot dishes to hot and hungry
guests SO we saved up a supply of
editorial comments on the action
of the late Grafton Convention, end
now that our readers are supposed
to be cooled off" sufficiently to do
justice to all, we propose to give
them what we have, just as we got
it, without com ment.
And so we'll begin with little
appetizing sauce'in the shape of
some suggestions and warnings,
from the two leading party papers
of the State, by way of
PREMoNToGY ADVICE.
Wheeling Isetell6ssacer, Republican.
The threatening attitude of an
element of the party, of Prohibition
inclination, may easily result in
temporary arrest of the Republican
progress in WestSV irginia.
This is the one serious detection
and present danger, and we put it
to gentlemen who believe in Pro-
hibition, whether they will'block
the march of the Republican party
in State which has drained al
most to the dregs the bitter cup of
Bourbon misrule. x x
Notice has been served by Frohi-
bitionists of standing that we are
at the parting OF the ways. Since
nothing is to be gained by taking
different paths, is it not better to
close up the ranks and take the
common road which brings Us, a
solid column, face to face with the
enemy.
'Intellagencer asaaas.
The State Prohibition ConTen-
ton meets in Grafton to-day. 1t
remains to be seen whethers1he
convention will stand by Prohibi-
ton, or play into the hands of the
Democratic party, which does rot
profess to be the friend of Prohibi-
ton.

count of the first days proceedings
of the Temperance Convention. <
Trouble will arise from the press

who have more loveaoE the success
of their own political party than

excellenG, earnest and well mean

from the outset if they permit
themselves to become ,the tail to
any political kite, their'object will
have been frostbitten in the bud.

to make your proceedings amount

death from dyspepsia. Often had such binding

from which fund the interest shall be psid
Mr.. SMITH, of Hppecanoe: Unless this
amendment is really necessary 1t should nOC
be passed, as it will cause the bill 10 go back
TO the Senate.
The amendment was adopted
Mr. TAYLOR: favor this DILL because OF
the great necessity of it. We can't avoid il.

ment and reform.
Mr.. MOODY spoke in favor of the passage
OF the bill.
Mr. BROWNLEE: The insane that will
be taken from the county almsbouses and
thus relieve the counties of expenses, will
more than pay for those asylums.
Mr.. GORDON do not believe that this
5000, coo will meet the demand.

propTistions for the Safe government.
Mr. DEEM moved 10 amend 60 that the
sum OF $4,000, instead Of s. j0O. be allowed
the Feeble Mind Institution for allowance
TO the Superintendent aud Trustees
Mr.. LLOYD said the amendment should
pass by oil means
Mr.. BROWNING: This bill does not pro-
pose to help the institution nor the Ia mates
only TO increase the salaries of the officers.
These OIL GERS get not only their salaries, bat
have their families boarded, and that makes
handsome pay. There are men in Indiana
Low running after Us. pulling the buttons
from our coats, TO get the position at the old
salary.
Mr.. DEEM: The law allows the three
Trustees each $500 per year, making $1,000,
and the Superintendent 81, 500, and your ap-
preparation must be s. 600 TO be good f)r II.
TIE amendment was adopted.
Mr SAERE offered an amendment pro-
viding that the Governor should have the
power to remove, with or without cause any
officer or employe of the Institution. He

who have badly abused thsir positions
Mr.. GOODING moved to amend the
smendmen by striking out the word with

Mr.. HARRELL II would look strange TO

were on their way down stream. As the ex-
citement on the river has mostly subsided
the question arises how much damage has
been dOney The damage is not enormous
but almost inestimable as those who have
suffered losses, guess at the amounts. The
river at midnight was slowly falling and
with the assistance of the rain there is good
reason To expect that any chances for fur

Ice will commence To break up and move
down stream. The losses have undoubtedly
been greatly oyerestimated.
