VIII Bear Copying.

Here is the manner in which an ex-
change relates it: A man was out
hunting the other day, and while he
was thus engaged, there came up a
big rain and he sought shelter in a
hollow los the log became soaked
in water and swelled until the open
ing was too small for the man to get
out. There he was in a dilemma.
He quickly reviewed his past life,
and when he came to remember that
he was not even a subscriber to his
home paper, he felt so small that he
crawled out again without any
trouble whatever.

subscription Laws.

| DR.. Tuckerman, editor of tn
Workman, Cleveland, has take
some pains to collect and compil
the decisions of the United State
Courts on this subject, and gives al
the result of his investigations tn,
following:
L. Subscribers who do not give
express notice to the contrary ar,
considered as wishing to renew
their subscriptions.
2. Il subscribers order the dis
continuance of their periodical, the
publisher may continue to send
them until sll arrearages are
paid.
8. If subscribers neglect or re-
fuse to take their periodicals from
the postofice to which they are
directed, they are responsible until
they have settled their bills and
ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
Usher, and the papers are sent to
the former address, they are held
responsible.
5. The Courts have decided that
refusing to take periodicals from
the Office or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is prina tacie
evidence Of intentional fraud.
6. If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound to give notice at
the end of the time if they do not
wish to continue taking it; other
wise the publisher is authorized to
send it and the subscriber will be
responsible until an express notice,
with payment of all arrearages, is
sent to the publisher.
The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can ar
rest any one for fraud who takes
a paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under this law she man who allows
his subscription to run alorg for
some time unpaid and then orders
it discontinued. or orders the post
master to mark it "refused," and
have a postal-card sent notifying
he publisher, leaves himself liable
to arrest and fine, the same as fer
theft.

YESTERDAYS FIRE.
Jack EIIiott's Residence Totally
DESTROYED.

1
Destroyed.
Abont IL 80 yesterday an alarm
OF fire bro light the fremen to Jack
Elliott's house, which was found tc
be in flames.
The Warrens coupled with the
plug in front of Kitzmeyer's store,
and the Currys made their conrnec-
ton with the plug near T. Collins
residence.
First water was secured by the
Warrens, who were quickly followed
by the Currys. Neighbors and
citizens secured most of the furnl-
ture and carpets before the fire
reached the lower floor. The fire
started under the roof. When this
work was ABOUT completed the
ceilings began to fall, and several
Warrens were nearly buried under
the debris, aud the building was
rapidly emptied of men and boys.
The only effort made after this was
to keep the fire from spreading, as
il was useless to try and save the
house. The fire burned very
slowly on account of the snow on
the roof.
Mrs. Elliott says she left hot
fire in the sitting room stove SO as
to have the house warm when her
husband returned from his office.
The chimney probably became hot
and started the fire under the roof,
which was fortunate, as it gave
plenty of time to remove the furni-
ture.
The house was insured for 81 500
and Elliott estimates his loss at
S. 900.
He will rebuild IN the Spring.

Clause and Effect.

To Ms E'IH0r oftts Register;
SIR:-The pot under which fire was
kindled ten years ago boilS at last. We
are led TO make these remarks by re-
cent demonstrations in our community.
The clergy, the press and the reform
erS generally are crying out against the
laxity of the municipal authority in the
suppression of crime and arreSting viO-
latorS of the laws, and yet no one has
suggested n remedy for the great evil.
Your paper of Saturday or Sunday pub
liShed ordinances passed in 1896, and
that to-day are not enforced, and asked
for their enforcement. Bless your dear
life, Those ordinances were for the
better days of the city, and were en-
forced until the City Council in their
wisdom destroyed the incentive TO ac-
ton for the average policeman by the
repeal of the ordinance that made
his pay depend on the duties
performed. From the date OF
the passage of the ordinance repeating
an ordinance providing for the payment
of the fees and costs in all cases OF vio-
lation OF the city ordinances, dates the
state OF things that now exist. Under
the laws as administered in those days,
it was the duty of the officer to take
cognizance of violation Of the ordinances
and bring the viOlaterS TO justice, for
upon his action his pay depended. 1t
is different now. He is Salaried man;
gets his pay cases or no cases. The
less cases the less work for him, but 10
reduction in pay, consequently when
complaints are lodged now the citizen is
requested to swear out warrant.

Farmer Sense.
~ VI nnrLI


The farmers ot the Michigan Grange
are men who see clearly and think
straight.
They oppose themselves unheSitat-
ingly 10 the visionary proposition that
the Government shall initiate the cur
rency by issuing 81 900, 900, 900 OF legal
tender notes and lend the money 70 the
people at low rates Of interest; and
better still. they set forth the sound
reasons for their opposition with clear
headed directneSS and convincing force
that not many writers upon economic
subjects can command.
That the issuing OF $1,000, 100000 OF
Treasury notes" they say, land loaning
10 the people either directly or Indirect
Is at low rate Of interest would lead to
a wild clamor for credit, every intelli-
gent person must admit.
That no system could be devised or
its operation So guarded Is to prevent
partiality or favoriteiSm in its diStribu-
ton, first to personal friends Of the
loanlng agent and next 10 his political
associates. every thoughtful man must
see.
That il would create feeling Of
helpless dependency upon Government
aid by those whom it is designed to
benefit, thereby relaxing their indi-
yidual efforts, destroying their energy
and sclf-rclance and rendering them
helpless mendicantS of Government
charity, every observer OF human ma
ture must know.
Tue World knows Of no terSer or
more convincing way Of setting forth
truth than this.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INDIAN
TROUBLE.

The dangerous part Of the ghost dance
probably ends with the death Of SITTING
BULL, who was the chief inStigator in
the warlike demonstrations. But the
woes Of the Indians which led them on
10 the outbreak against the whites still
exist. and will continue 10 exist aS long
as the government treats the Indians
unfairly, and they have strength enough
to rebel. The government has placed
them in charge Of INSCRIPTIONS and
heartleSS SwindlerS, who simply rob
them OF their rights. The spOilS
system, as operated by this ad-
ministration, is largely responsible
for the present outbreak. No news
paper has made a more thorough study
or is more capable Of judging the mer-
its Of the Indian question than the St.
Paul Pioneer Press, whose loyalty to the
Republican party Is unquestionable. IL
distinctly charges the HAHi'isoN admin
istratiOn with having caused the Indian
outbreak by the revival Of the spells syS-
TEN, which was SO eifectually extinguiSh-
ed by President CLEVELAND. Ii says:
To see the spoils system at work, in
full blast, in the Indian bureau, and then
find intelligent men wondering why the
Indians are not under better control, Is
a thing TO make men almost despair OF
the government under which they live.
The present administration simply re-
garded the bureau Is means TO pay of
some political debts, and to reward act
i've workers at the polls. The agents
placed over the Indians were VIGOROUSLY
incompetent aud corrupt, and the gov
eminent is reaping the harvest OF It's
spells system OF folly. While that SyS-
tenn prevails at Washington, there can
be- no safe management of the Indian
Bureau in particular, and there will be
constant danger 10 the peace and pros
perity Of those living in the neighbor-
hood Of the reservations.

not for them. II is not for sale. Some
capitalists or syndicate of capitalists in
Pittsburs cor somewhere else own it
aud won't sell ii. They are holding it.,
knowing lts ultimate value full well,
till they can make millions out Of It's
sale in the future
Il doesn't cost them much 70 do this.
The land Is assessed az only from 90
cents TO $3.50 per acre. The tax on
that basis OF valuation is mere baga-
telle, and they can well afford to hold
on 10 these immensely valuable timber
and mining lands till such opportune
time as hey can make fortunes by lis
sale. 1t cost them practically nothing,and
Is destined to be a most grand invest
ment. Legislatures meet, and the
why and wherefor of the situation re-
garding these wild lands is discussed
pro and con, but the foreign capitalists
send their lobbyists and advocates
to talk 10 the Legislatures, and, some
how, the lands continue to remain in
their possession with practically
no tax assessed for the
privilege Of holding them for no
earthly use except to sell when they
shall have become sufficiently valuable.
And in the meantime immigrants who
would gladly settle on and cultivate
them are slow in coming, and our own
young sons Of the soil are going West
seeking land.
Now, the REGISTER suggests that
the coming overwhelmingly Democratic
Legislature deal with this question and
i'm Democratic way-in the interest Of
the people and the State. II should
make a general re-assessment Of the
lands Of the State, and il these foreign
specializing capitalists are 20 be permit
ted to retard the States Development
that they may one day reap fortunes.
they should be made 10 pay fall value for
the privilege, or let 90 OF the
land. These thousands Of acres in the
interior Of the State, which are now as
sessed at from 90 cents to $3.50 per
acre, are worth, without taking any
thing into consideration but what they
would readily bring in the real estate
market to-day, at least from = to Sl2
an acre.
These lands should be assessed at
their proper value, to ascertain which
competent and trustworthy men should
be appalachian important point. II
the alien holders should find the new
tax too high To Justify them in holding
on any longer for purposes OF Specula-
tion, so much the better; there are hun
dreds Of purchasers ready To buy, who
would take this virgin soil and cult
vate il and develop its great riches 10
the immense advantage of the State.

rue ELECTRIC LIGHT MATTER.

The Council committee in charge Of
the electric light question made its re-
port last evening. Their investigation
has covered a wide field and they
have received estimates from nearly
every electrical manufacturing company
i'm the United States. The lowest
estimate for building 1000 candle
power electric light plant to run 400
lamps was sci 600 and the highest
which was far above all the others
SOL. 200. Excluding the latter, which
was too high TO be considered, the
average of the estimates was about
$40. 600. The average estimate Of the
cost Of operating was, in round num-
bers, $1,000 per year.
The committee reported in favor Of q
plant tina; would cost $4,000, and,
which experienced electricians testified,
would make Wheeling the best lighted
city ga the United States
Wheeling now pays for being an
lighted by gas Sl6,1oO per year-the
cost Of operating the present gaS plant
FOR strcet-lightiug purposes. 1t would
cost her about $1,000 less TO be 'ccll
lighted 10y electricity.
