What Does it Mean .

The Democratic leaders in West yir-
ginia are displaying wonderful activity
very early in the campaign year. They
are bringing in eminent men of the
party from other States to talk on the
political issues Of the day and generally
10 set the bail in motion.
What does this meanP After the great
nominating conventions there will be
ample time for oil parties to beat the
bush and air the eloquenco of their ora
tors. Nobody is trying to steal march
on the Democratic party in West yir-
GINA. 1t has its organization and its
press, tho latter never idle.
Are the Democratic leaders afraid OF
West Virginia? Do they think there is
no time to be lost il they are to have any
chance to hold the State in the Demo
cratic line? Itlooks so.

Tic Platform of tho Prohibition Party

II there be any place in politics for
the Prohibition party it is as the advo-
cate of the destruction Of the liquor
traffic through constitutional prohibit
ton, State and national. 1t has endeav-
ored to rally to its standard all who
hold that the liquor traffic ought to be
destroyed and can be destroyed through
prohibition, and that the effort can best
be made through political party COM
mitted to this idea. a
On this single issue, presented with
all the shrcwdness and eloquence of able
men and women-some of them MS earn
est and honest rs able-a large body Of
voters has been rallied to the standard
Of the Prohibition party. The criticism
that theirs was q party of ono idea has
not unfavorably influenced the devotees,
Asserting that the liquor evil is the
giant wrong and overshadowing crime
of the age, and that a political party de-
voted to the prohibition of the liquor
traffic is the st. Georgetha is to STAY the
dragon, they have declared that they
could afford to go to battle for that one
idea. Prohibition once in successful
operation, they said, the minor evils can
easily be corrected.
Whether the Prohibitionists were
right or wrong on the general issue,
they kept their own special issue I'M
clouded before the public mind; and in
sisting on the one idea they did induce
many people to believe that there was
but the one real issue in American pol
itics. The Prohibition party has stood fol
that one issue, and here stood a tower o.
strength. But with the addition Of 9TH
or issues-particnlArly woman suffrage
the Prohibition party loses something
of the peculiar strength of the single is
sue plan Of campaign.
When the Prohibition party admits
that there arc other issues which ough
to be held in view and Incorporated ii
the platform of a national party, it takei
something from the impressive force o
its one fundamentalidea audit endorses
the position Of the vast majority o
Americans, who hold that there is some
thing else worth doing besides the aboli
ton OF the liquor traffic.

We acknowledge with thanks a polite

Tuesday evening and listen to an ad'
dress by Mr.. George William Curtis on
Civil Service Reform.
Mr.. Curtis's Grafton is sure to be {
scholarly and well polished production
OF high sentiment and pure motives, de
livered with melodiouS el0cution; ana
vet we must decline the invitation be-
cause the subject has no present in
terest.
Civil Service reform, in the sense in
which Mr.. Curtis understands it, is dead
and buried. 1t is as dead us either door
post OF the great pyramid OF Ghizeh. Il
is buried deep i'll the depths. 1t has
been dead and buried so many months
that not even rs funeral Grafton OF

tiful rhetoric appeal to the curiosity or
interest OF survivors.
Civil service did not die natural
death, nor was it murdered. 1t persisted
by lawful violence, upon solemn war
rant issued by the mighty Democracy Of
the United States.
1t makes little difference whose stall
wart arm welded the fatal axe and dealt
the decapitating blow. Somebody exc
cuted the Democncy's imperious com
mand-that is enough.

Rev. George L. Hite, of Parkersburg,
formerly OF this city, paid the INTELLI-
dENcER call yesterday onhis way home
from the General Conference ut New
York, where he sat as n ministerial dele
gate from the West Virginia Conference.
Speaking of the action OF the Conference
application OF the four women who had
been elected delegates, he said that one
reason for the action Of the Conference
in refusing them seats was because OF the
well understood fact that the women gen.
orally Of the church did not themselves
believe in such an innovation OF its
usages. There was really no public
sentiment behind the application. 1t
was an eccentric and irregular move
ment, for which there was no warrant in
the sentiment OF the church nor in its
organic policy. Therefore it was not
deemed expedicnt in the absence OF Il
specific expression OF sentiment on the
part of the conferences Of the church to
admit the applicants.
The question is not forever finally
disposed Of. 1t will BIO handed over for
consideration to the various conferences
OF the church for their action between
this and the assembling Of the next
General Conference in 1892. Upon this
point the Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette
has the following remarks:
The interesting question as TO whether
the women Of the NJ. 4. Church are to
stand on an equality with men Us re-
CARDS lay representation, is to be decided
by popular vote, in which every men,
Der over 81 years OF age, OF both sexes,
is free to participate. This election will
be held in tho year 1890, in each place OF
public worship, turing the months OF
October and November. The result OF
the vote will be certified to the respect
i've annual conferences to be held in
1891, whereupon they will be authorized
to take the necessary legal steps in the
matter.
The plan is not only fair, but in such
complete harmony with the underlying
principle of free government that no
objection can be consistently urged
against it. While it will not be obliga-
tory upon all to vote, the probability is
that tolerably full expression OF senti-
ment will be had The campaign, which
really began in the present General Con-
ference, will be continued with greater
or less interest, until the fall OF 1890, a
period Of two years and half.
II has been urged, and not without
reason, that only a few, n small but ag-
gressive minority, Of the women OF the
Church arc anxious for the privilege of
Inv representation, while the great ma
iority have no more than a passive inter
81 Il, the matter. There are few intelli-
gent women, however, in that or any
Other evangelical church, who would
not vote 70 sustain the principle OF
equality involved in the issue. It might
happen, therefore, that while decided
majority may favor 10y representation
for women, but few women will care TO
avail themselves OF the privilege and
thus the apprehcnsions Of "the men
about being "displacod by women will
never be realized.

Living IN Love.

IT'S sad enough to love, but when a
Young man adds to his mental tortures
physical distress in attempting to live
on love, then is the case hopeless in
deed.
A young man living in Cleveland had
his mind slightly turned by the interest
he took in "Christian science" or the
faith cure, which is the latest fad in
that city. He was engaged to DO mar
ried, and a few days ago he resigned his
position in railroad office, announcing
that he was going to cast away all earth
ly things and work for the Lord.
The most startling act OF his mania
was the refusal Of all food, saying he
was content to exist on love. From an
economic standpoint no one will ques-
lion the chcapness OF the diet, but there
can be no doubt that such food would
soon bring on riot among the gastric
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1888-06-02
Juices, which the entire police Of the

juices, which the entire police of the
world could not quell.
The bill OF fare for this young man
would probably be: For breakfast, a
weak doubt, trimmed with grudgiDg ca
resses; languislling gIances la Baby
Bunting. For dinner, H's and KS, with
sauce of signs; fond endearments in sew
eral styles; nectar Of the gods; moon
beams stuffed with tender glances; yum
yum pudding. For supper, warm en-
braces, protestations Of love with kisses;
bunny biscuit with ieryent tea and kill
ing sleeps eyes.
After living on this diet for two or
three days, and with strong appetite
for it, there can be no question Of the
sanity of the man. Love is very well in
its place, and when Occupyingi its proper
niche in the affairs Of the world is the
most healthiul exercise one can indulge
in, but it won't furnish the table or go
to market.
