One hundred and twenty organ grind
ers secured licenses one day last week IN
New York in compliance with the city
ordinance recently passed and renewed
their work Of devastation, as a local
paper put it. The noises they made, how
ever, are Just as discordant as before
they were licensed.

oklanoma's Trade Metropolis.


From the Oklahoma Journal.
The Oklahoma demand is becoming
an important factor IN trade reports.
The trade report from Wichita last week
shows what influence Oklahoma has on
that market. In commenting on the
farm produce market the report says
that the prices of butter and eggs had
risen two and three cents owing to the
great Oklahoma demand, although the
supply was much larger than uusai.

The Model Postoace ofthe World.

The smallest, simplest and best pro
tected postoffice IL the world Is IN the
Straits of Magell an. and has been there
for many years. It consists OF a small
key or cask and is chained to the rocks
of the extreme cape in the straits opp0-
site Terra del Fuego. Each passing ship
sends boat to take letters out and put
Others in. The pos5oiiice Is seIf-acting
and unprovided with a postmaster, and
i. therefore. under the pro lection Of all
the navies OF the world.

The noble act of a convicted kentuck-

without a guard, should be initiated by
offenders generally. The Courier-Jour-

better if law-breakers would arrest them
selves, prosecute themselves vigorously,
give themselves a full sentence, and
then paw their own railroad fare to
Frankfort or Eddyville," which it would.

Some of the South Carolina railroads
claim to have found a way to ''solve the
race problem as far as their connection
with it goes. They provide two sets of
cars in a train, the cars as Ike as two
peas, one exactly as good and handsome
as the other. Then they say to white
passengers, ''You sit in this car and to
the black ones, "You occupy that. "
There is no discrimination, there is Onlv
separation. The plan is said to work to
the satisfaction of both, so much so that
the governor of the state, in his annual
message, thought it of sufficient i'm
portance to commend it officially. The
credit for the scheme, if it be any credit
to have devised it, belongs to the Georgia
Railroad company, and was the sequel

''The imminent danger that threatens
us from the intimidation and corruption
of our voters" is the evil that Mr.. Cleve-
land recognizes as calling for better cleo
ton laws. No mere sentimental statute
which ignores the essential condition of
impartial registration will satisfy the
conditions sketched in the ex-president's
Boston address. But it is suspected that
his real purpose was to parry the force
of the bills introduced in congress to
correct the evils he refers to that are
understood TO exist principally in the
south--a sort of decoy duck, as it were.

The news that Ex-senator Camden has
at last completed the formation OF his
new railroad and coal and coke syndi'
cate, with a capital Of two million dol
lars, an account OF which appeared in
yesterdays INrELLIaEScER, is among
the most agreeable things that have
greeted the eyes Of the people OF this
section Of West Virginia for a long
while.
1t is now an absolute certainty that
the great coal and coke region along the
West Fork Of the Monongahela river,
between Fairmont and Clarksburg, aud
further into the interior, is to be opened
up. 1t is the beginning Of an era OF
great prosperity for this section OF the
State, and will make both Fairmont and
Clarksburg important railroad and in
dustrial centres.
Wheeling will reap no small benefit
from tho development OF the section
named, which is larger than the Pitts
burgh and Connellsville regions com.
bined, for it will increase the size OF the
splendid market she already enjoys
there. With the establishment Of the
proposed great coal and coke industries,
to say nothing Of the opening up OF a
rich lumber aud agricultural country,
this city will not only find within two or
three hours ride Of her gates valuable
market for her manufactures and arti'
Giles Of commerce, but she will be acces.
sible to those products OF which she is
herself large consumer, and for which,
to some degree, she no sends elsewhere
Wheeling may find 1t to her advantage
to apply the principle Of reciprocity OF
trade to her dealings with the people OF
this region which is on the eve of a
great development.

Democrats and their organ" are over
exerting themselves in the attempt to
convince the public that Mr.. a. B.
SheltOn's vague charge that he has been
"approached"i is a "thunderbolt" in the
Republican camp. 1t is nothing OF the
kind, and the Republicans have no
reason TO fear IN investigation. This
WIS purity demonstrated by their prompt
demand for an immediate and complete
inquiry into the matter.
The peculiar wording Of Mr.. shelton's
charge Is not the least suspicious thing
about. 1t would have carried more force
with it and impressed the public with
the idea that there was really something
in it, lift had been more definite. For
instance, Mr.. Shelton might have given
the names Of the parties who, he alleges,
attempted 10 bride him. Tho identity

guilty Of doing so unnecessary and cor

Der Of tho Legislature, MIR. Shelton, 1t
