AT the Presidential election in
1864, the Republican party nomina
ted as their candidate for The Pres
idency, Abraham Lincoln, u of
the ablest and purest men this
country ever produced, and in OR
der to win owe Southern influence
or support, they selected Andrew
Johnson, of Tennessee, as a suit
able candidate to place on the tick
ct with Lincoln.
The ticket vas triumphantly
elected. Lincoln had strength and
popularity enough to carry any
load, before the people. In the
course of time, Lincoln fell by the
hand Of a brutal assassin aud John
sou became President of the United
States, being the third accidental
succession into the Presidential
chair. johnson, from the start, ap
peared to have the same Presijen
tial bundle bee buzzing about his
ears that had elevated the equill
brium of his predecessors, Tyler
and Fillmore, and it only took him
long enough to get into Il of the
big rocking chairs OF the White
House, to throw out his line and
fish for the Presidency at the sub
sequent election.
He suddenly forgot who had ele
waited him to his position, and, at
once, baited his hook with the same
bait that Tyler and Fillmore did,
and Rugged the delusion to his
soul, that he would organize a new
party, that would elect him as his
own successor.
Facts soon disclosed that he
could, not only, ROT be his own sue
cessor, bat that it would require all
bis ability to maintain his seat, un
til Che election Of some enc to sue
ceed HIM.
Johnson was undoubtedly a re
marhable man, who arose from the

For twelve years Iowa has been agitat-

been decided in the court and the verdict
set aside. The particulars are these;
Twelve years ago Mr.. Potter purchasedfye
calves from q Mr.. Johnson, but as they
turned out t o hrye been stolen Johnson
was prosecuted by the "Anti-Horse Thief
Association" He was acquitted and at
once sued seven members ofthe association
for damages. The case has been tried
five times, and each time exeeptone, John
son was awarded damages ranging from
S 5000 to $500. Last week the verdict
was set aside. The total court costs
amount 10 So, 800, and the expenses on
both sides aggregate 10000. Several men
have been bankrupted. The question has
gotten into the church and into politics
and there is hard telling what the end OF
the trouble will be. The calves were only
worth S25.

is too much ignored in the temperance
movement II is a sorry fact that some
of the most devont temperance workers
90 about with long faces fdgety, un-
strung nerves, and burdened with dyspep-
STA, brought on by the tea habit or by
an excessive use Of food. They have
shortened their lives perhaps several
years and have taken much of the enjoy
ment from the years that remain to them
and their petulant dispositions mar the
pleasure of those around them. They
have, by not governing their aPpetites,
shortened their days just as efeetually as
the man who deyotes his days by giving
away to the appetite for drink.
On our cities, almost any day a be
seen women who would shudder at the
thought of one of their friends impairing
his health or shortening his fife by drink
habit. Yet these same women, by tight
living may be asef~fectually and as rapidly
committing suicide, as the friends for
whom they feel so sorry.
It is so fashionable to impair health and
shorten life, and bring misery by exeesses
like those above named, that people do not
reSardrth so obnoxious as excuses IN
drink. But there is no reason why this
should be so. 1t is certainly just as much
harm to wound or kill a man or woman
with a polished blade, as with a rude blud-
geon. wke the injury and harm in one
is as great as in the other, they should all
be frowned down on alike. 1t Is
not enough that one evil be attacked
and others winked at. There should be
consistency in the lives of those who work
for agreat movement and IN indiscrimi-
nate war made upon the practices that
shorten human life and impair the haPpi-
ness and usefulness of men and women.
Let persons who work for a reform pull the
beam out oftheir own eye and then they
can more successfully pluck the mote from
their brothers. eye.
1t isa good sign to see such orSonlza-
tions as the w. c. T. L. taking tins
matter in hand.

The Pittsburg Times predicts that Pitts
bnrg will become the great industrial and
commercial city of tine United States. 1t
is 'the the sole pOSsessOr Of natural gas on
alarge scale" and possesses advantages
no where else existing, F." says the Times.
There is no doubt much truth in this
prophecy. Pittsburg is already a great
city and she has Just fairly begun to enter
upon the benefits Of natural gas, But
while this is so, Wheeling has just as good
advantages in every way. We have nat
uraI gas in abundance and near to raw
material, have good sites for manutacto-
ries, excellent facilities for tranSpOrtion,
and many other things that 90 toward
building up a great city. There is no
reason why Pittsburg should surpass
Wheeling.
Nowhere, it seems to us, could capital
find more profitable investment in manu-
featuring than in Wheeling. The fact that
there are a few persons in our community
trying to interfere with men in carrying
on their business, and threatening to ruin
them if they do not follow the dictates OF
a gang of misguided bOycOtters, should
not deter capital from coming into our
midst. The people of Wheeling have too
much manhood and intelligence to allow
such outrageous and un-American actions
to long be tolerated. The city that is
freest from injustice of this kind is the
n that is the most inviting to capital.
other things being equal. II our people
make and keep capital secure there can be
no other than a bright future in store for
Wheeling.

VIRGINIA.

What Made Him Weaken in Shooting Mt a
Deer.
From The Cincinnati COnm>rcidi GdSette.
There is still q good deal Of gOssip about
the recent presidential deer hunt up in
West Virginia, and one of the party is re-
sponsible for the statement that the Presi-
deer and failed to fire. He was given the
place where the deer was almost certain TO
come, and he did come within fair shooting
distance. The member of the party who
tells the story says that On the way to the
HINT, the famous old Ike Parsons, hunter
and trapper, was in charge, and he in
formed the President that the penalty
for missing q deer WAS to lose a shirt tail.
This rule, Ike explained to the gentlemen,
was no respector of persons, and in proof
showed on the wall of his hunting club
house half a dozen linen narratives nailed
on the log wall, that had been cut from
the shirts of hunters who had missed their
first shot. Each square Oflinen or flannel
bore the name of the wearer, where the
shot was missed and the date.
Upon one was the name of John T..
Kenna, on another Stephen 3. Elkins, on
another Nathan Golf, on another Henry G..
Davis, and so on with half a dozen Others,
some Of them well known names, and
Others the names Of people living in the
vicinity. 1t was the thought Of this rule
of the mountains that made the president
pause which the deer came in sight. He
knew if he failed to draw blood
or cut hair" which the rule requires,
there would-be another broad white ban
ner hung on the wall of the log club house
bearing the name of Grover Cleveland.
This thought made the President weaken
as he raised his gun, and induced him to
believe that he had better not shoot, as the
chances were too small. When the deer
came in sight of Commissioner Joe Miller
and Bivens, they blazed away regardless
Of the fate Of their shirt tails. Bivens
missed Miller by a close range and hit the
deer. Miller fred also. and both drew
blood and saved their narratives. Miller,
however, is positive on the point that next
time Bivens shoots at q deer, he (Miller)
wants to be behind a tree in the next
county. By the way, the aggregate
weight of the President and his three first
assistant hunters was 9l2 pounds.

THE HOUSE OF THE ROMANOFFS.
The action Of the Car Of Russia a few
days ago in striking down n Of his most
trusted officers recalls some very painful
history of the RomanoG family to which
the Car belongs. Not only are there
doubts as to the Cars sanity, but there
has been a blot on the brains of his anceS
tors for 500 years before him.
Who that is acquainted with history
does not recall the acts of that demon Ivan
the Terrible, who, in company with his
son, would, when time hung heavily on
their hands amuse themselves by going
out on the streets and numbering 400 or
500 citizens just for fun? This monster
once slaughtered %, 600 people in a single
town. Nothing that the Roman Nero did
surpassed this.
These violent passions have been visited
upon their descendants in Authorizations,
epileptie fits and imbecility. Even
PETER the GREAT who gathered together
thescattered half savage tribes of Northern
Europe into a nation was q maniac at
times and was subject to commissions and
fits of anger that resulted in slaughters
which were blood curdling. This blot on the
House of the RoNAoFFs cropped out in
such utter imbeC Iity in the third PETER
that his wife Catherine dethroned him and
at last put him to death.
The present Car is the victim Of epilep-
tic fits, Of insomnia and Authorizations
He inagines that some one is continually
plotting against his lite. He never sleeps
in the same bed two nights, is almost
afraid to take his food for fear some one
has poisoned it, and starts with alarm at
the ruStling Of Leaf. He suspects his
dearest friends of conspiracy against him.
The distinguished officer who was shot
down in cold blood the other day came to
his fate because in b~uttOning his coat the
Car thought he was reaching for aweapon.
The shadow that has hung over this
wretehed family so long is much worse
ever than that which afflicted the
Bavarian Kings, caused King LUDWIG to
commit suicide after q Smost ~disgraceful
reign and leave the government in the
hands Of his brother, OTTo, a still worse
mailman. These are striking examples of
the law of heredity, in which the sins and
the vices Of the fathers are visited upon
the children down through generations.
Bat the most painful fact is that an
unbalanced descendant of the Housed the
RoNANoFFs is holding the destinies
Of European nations in his hand.
