The Chicago Tribune prints special
telegram from Wheeling, W. Va, to the
effect that Governor Wilson had deter
mined 10 issue certificates of election to
all four of the Democratic candidates
for congress from that state, notwith-
standing the election returns on their
face show majorities for two Of the Re
publican candidates, and that he had
notified the officers of the state militia
to be in readiness to respond to a call into
service on short notice in anticipation of
forcible resistance to his arbitrary acton.
1t is all buncombe. If the governor has
given out any such intentions he should
be placed III an insane asylum: no sane
man would be guilty of such outrage

The people of Philadelphia have adopt
ed the high license policy and reduced
the number of saloons within the city
limits from 5000 to 1,300 and find that
while the revenue paid into the treasury
has materially increased, the number of
commitments for crime have materially
decreased. Encouraged by the result of
the experiment thus far, public opinion
tends to still further reduction in the
number with the belief that the revenue
derived from them will be greater, and
the deleterious influence OF the saloon
element on society and in politics less.
The greatest revenue consistent with the
personal liberty Of the citizen is the
principle upon which the voters of the
city are acting, and they are pleased to
find at the same time and through the
same means that the public morals are
improved and that better government is
the result The trend of public senti-
ment in the old Quaker city is in the
right direction. The methods employed
in the management OF its saloons is hav-
ing gratifying effect in the way of ed
ucating the people. High license is next
best to absolute prohibition in curtailing
the retail liquor traffic, and there are
some who insist that it is more effective.

A Legend of the Ancient Dakotas.


Two women brought to king a child
whom each did claim, Said he: You
are wise the child to bring-the mother
soon will name. Bring to me quick my
blade: I'll cleave its limbs in twain. :"
Then one fell down. and weeping prayed,
''Spare it whole. rather hers than slain
But the other stood erect and looked the
king in the eye, and said: your majesty
is correct; let the sword through the
youngster fly" Then did neatly carve
the king the single babe in two, and the
true mother began to sing, as home from
the court she few; while the king
turned about on the dame, who wept
like very shrew, and spake: You
knew when you came that the child
would never own you, while the mother
rejoiced he is in two"

st. Louis certainly cannot be as pokey
and slowgoing town-as much of a
municipal graveyard-as the people of
Chicago pretend to believe, or syndi-
cate of their active capitalists would not
have Maid So, 000, 900 cash for four street
railway lines there. The amount paid is
a right smart of money in any part of
the world, and your Chicago capitalist,
whatever may be his other virtues or
vices, never puts his money where he
does not think it will bring him a good
in fact the best-return. If the same in
vestment in street railway property in
any other city would have paid better
than in St. Louis, or even so well, it is
quite certain that the money of Chicago
would have been invested in the other
city. Nor would property of that kind
be valuable in any city in which there
was not life, and busy. bustling, active
people. and a great many of them. The
entire street railway system of Kansas
City was sold not long ago for a million
dollars-only little more than one'line
out of a large number sold for in st.

A CORRECTION.

To the Editor OF the Daily Eagle.
In the article Fire at Manchester" in
today's EAGLE | think some correction is
needed 1t is stated ''some of the lead
ing buildings of the town were burned "
Instead it should be the only business
house in the place. Said building was
the property of the Manchester Town
company and cost about 81, 400; some in
surance. In the lower story was the
postofiice; also, stock Of groceries owned
by Joseph McHarg worth $500; no in
surance. In the upper story the school
of district No Al was held and contained
all the school furniture of the district,
books, etc, of the pupils. 1t was also
the place of meeting of the Manchester
Union Sunday school and contained all
the property of the Sunday school, con-
sisting of Sunday school literature, sing
ing books and a good organ, all recently
purchased. Altogether the loss is esti-
mated at 81 500, less insurance. The fire
was certainly the work of an incendiary.
But that $50 far there is no suspicion, |
have not, neither do l think your in
formant has, any means of knowing
what the suspicious of the people may
be. The simple suggestion of "com-
promise or 'sweetened disposition"
growing out Of such a dastardly crime is
too absurd to have been mentioned in
print. Respectfully, MINNEHA.
