Thc Closing Exercises Of the

All of the forenoon was occ,pird in
n | artial examination of thc school
by tne p 1ncipal teacher, Miss Kan
Iachery, of n c., who has been
'cachmS here for two years. The
examinations were conducted IN the
form OF tho regular rccitat1ons; and
never did children display II more
thorough knowledge of their work.
The case and grace, with Which fhcsc
boys and girls appeared on the STAGE
and dolng what ever they were called
on to do, was really marvellous to
behold. This was not a cut and dried
eXamlnat'on~-each pupil Knowing Just
what he or she wonld be called upon
to Go. 1t was delightful to witness
such an examination.
EXACTLY nt II o'clock all were inyi.
ted TO join i'll dinner served bv the
patrons and friends of the school.
This dinner like the examination wns
OF the b stand abundant.
At 1870 p. IN. the examinations
were resumed which closed at 3 y. m..
and the Rev. G.. ". Singleton was
introduced by Miss Xnrhcry as the
speaker of the day, His subject was
practical Education as DISTINGUISHED
from Theoretical Education, which
was listened to by full house with
close attention.
Miss Cora Underwood, II student
OF the school, from Georgia, arose
from her scat and walked to her
teacher and with feeling and appro-
pirate words, i'll behalf Of the students
and patrons, presented beautiful

love and cstocm for her which was

A LAST REJOINDER,
From Rev. Dryden to Rt. Rev. Bishop
Kahn.

From Rev. Dryden to Rt. Rev. Bishop
Kahn.
To nc Editor oJHs Register:
SIR have Just resd the reply of John
J. Kahn, A. M, Phi. D., d. D., LII. D.,
etc etc, to my article of the 14th inst,
and it is evident to every n that the
dose of Du Pin which / administered has
produced nausea, and that the patient is
still suffering from mental and moral pros
traiion. He has failed in his lOgic, and
now he resorts to abuse, hoping in this
way to save his lost cause. He charges
me with ''selfSh motives" Ignorance
'~'mendacity," 'tself conceit." And Just
hereI desire to remind the public of one
fact: Bishop Kahn, for the last ten years
has posed before this community as
an ecclesiastical pugilist, pretending all
the while to be master of all learning ana
the embodiment of all wisdom. And each
year in his Leuten lectures, he opens fire
on Professionalism and challenges the Prot
estsnt clergy of this city to defend their
faith. And every man who has stepped
forth to repel the attack Of this unscrupu-
lous aSSailant has been met with ridiCule,
raillery and sarcasm. He not long since
accused the Rev. Dr.. Cunningham Of being
ignorant of the teachings OF his "
church. And after the same manner he
dealt with Rev. Mr.. Jordan and the Luth-
ersn Minister in the recent controversy.
He invariably holds himself up to the
public rs the solomon of the nineteenth
century. Aud yet with all his boosted
learning, unparalleled egotism, brazsn
efTrontery and INSCRIPTIONS dishonesty,
ii is evident to every sensible man
that he has rery much yet to learn. / met
the gentleman with the authorities of his
own church, which he now seeks to eyade.
He brands DuPin "a rank Jansenist and
a dwelling hypocrite." And l would
Just say in reply if he had one-half the
brains and one-tenth the piety Of DuPin,
be would have fewer difficulties with
Protestant ministers and do much better
service for the church which he represents.
l turn to the title page of his "Ecclesias-
teal History" and | find the following:
Lewis Ellies DuPin. Doctor of the Scr
bOnne and Regius Professor Of Divinity at
Paris" This work from which | have
quoted received the endorsement of the
Doctors OF the SorboDue and the

MIR. GOFF AND THE MILLS BILL
Mr.. GOFF's indictment of the MILLS
bill is an interesting and curious sffusiOn,
when carefully analyzsa, West Virginia
Republicans have set up Mr.. GoFF as their
W particular idol, and his utter
snces will be taken 50 oTscular. His we'll
rounded denunciation Of the proposition TO
place lumber, salt and wool on the free
list, and his sombre prophecies that West
Virginia will DO ruined if the MILLS bill
is carried, sound the key note for al fur.
ther criticism Of that measure. For the
benefit of Mr.. GOFF, who evidently was
not present at the State development con-
yention, where he might have learned
something about the industries of West
Virginia, the REGISTER would like to make
a feS suggestions. His deep sOlicitude for
our salt manufacturers is creditable to the
gentleman's kindness Of heart, and is quite
touching; in fact it is absolutely painful,
when we remember that there are just six
salt works in the State. The Kanawha
valley is strewn thick with the wrecks Of
salt manufactures which have been ruined
under tie "benefeent influence" Of a high
protective tariff.
The cause is not far to fud. Com
petition with Michigan producers,
who have combined to kill all competitors,
and who have been enabled to form such a
combination in . market restricted to
home production, has crushed out the salt
industry in West Virginia, and bankrupsed
the men engaged in it. How does Mr..
GoFF like this working Of the tariff duty

EXTENDING THE CIrY's MONEY.

EXTENDING THE CITY'S MONEY.
The Finance Committee meets tonight
to make mp its report of estimates for the
ensuing year beginning January first. 1t
has been stated that the receipts Of the city
will reach 1856, 900. They may be less, but
they surely will not go above that sum.
The estimated ex expenditures reach $4,000,
or S24, 900 more than the estimated re-
ceipts. Il should be remembered that
these proposed expenditures are the aggre-
gate of the needs of the several Committees
and Boards a. made up separately.
It is now the Finance Committees
business to trim them down 80 as TO come
within the limit Of the city'S resources.
The committee, We hope, will no. hesitate
to do this; indeed under the law it must
be done. Three hundred and tfty-six
thousand dollars is = big annual revenue
for a city OF the sizs of Wheeling, and it
ought to be sufficient to 90 round and to
spare. 1t is not going too far to say that
there are a large number Of taxpayers who
think they are paying roundly for their
whistle, and would think it a great boon
if the levy were reduced five OF ten cents
on the hundred. The school levy and
building fund levy are necessarily
very large, which makes it all the
harder to keep up the city levy to sixty
cents. Among other things asked for is
$40, 600 by the Board Of Public Works,
(exclusige Of the $25, 900 contingent fund
for street paving, sewerage, etc, $4,000
by the Water Board for a high service res
ervoir, and $4,000 for q 9 work house.
According to the estimates, if not trimmed
down by the Finance Committee, the B. Of
P. ". will expend $l35, 900 this season,
the largest sun by far, ever asked for III
any preceding year. What extensive street
and sewerage improvements might be
made with so vast a sum, if judieiously
and economically expended?
The proposed new reservoir is q matter
that deserves especial attention from the
Water Board. II it is going to materi-
ally remedy the impure water trouble, SO
much complained Of last year to any ex-
tent, it will be money we'll spent. Just
here it is no harm to refer to the communi-
cation in yesterdays REGISTER calling at
tention 10 detail to the dangers, and un-
c~ertainties, and probably greater expendi-
lures than the Water Board calculated, by
the construction Of this work.
Since the present Council has been in
charge of the city's affairs, it has not been
accused of economy. Outside Of the Gas
and the Water Boards. which always have
a large surplus, it got away with every
thing in sight. 1t looks now, from the
increased estimates, as if greater effort is
to be made thar las, year to dispose Of the
increasing The bars are down
and they will stay down 30 long ~ this
great reform Council holds the reins.
But is it too much TO ask for a long suffer
ing public of the Finance Committee, to
follow the law, aud try 10 keep the ex-
p~enditures at least within the city's in
come.
