REV. DIR. CUSHING
On "Some Things Which are Needed in
Wheeling"


Notwithstanding the inclement wealth
er. Fourth Street NJ. +. Church was
comfortably filled by the members of
that church and large number of 9TH
ers who were attracted by the announce
ment that the pastor, Rev. C. w. Cush-
ing. would deliver discourse on the
subject. "Some Things Which are
Needed in Wheeling" DIR. Cushing's
sermon. which was attentively listened
to throughout, was substantially as fol-
lows:
The centres of evil influence are
large cities, and Wheeling is naturally a
hotbed of evil influence. In every city
where it is tolerated the chief source Of
temptation is the liquor traffic. This
city is under the influence of beer men;
the ruling powers are beer and Roman
ism. While do not charge that the
Roman Catholic church advocates this
condition Of things, still a large major
ity of the municipal authorities are
Catholics. Under the condition of az
fairs nothing can follow but bad gov
eminent.
We have an inefficient city govern
ment. It's officials are either dishonest
or incompetent, or both. The conse-
quences which follow such an admins
tration of city government, are TO i'm
peril life and property, 10 enhance
taxes. and TO impcril the morals of soci-
ETY.. Our laws are not enforced; the
saloon violates the law, and the brothel
is under its protection. The inefiiciency
in the administration Of the city gov
eminent is not chargeable to any one
man or department, nor are all the MEM
berS of the city government inefficient.
Inefiiciency in every department Of the
city is entaied by inefliciency in the
head Of the government. Such a con-
dition could not exist If the Mayor
was strong and mastery.
The voters of the city could have a
proper administration of affairs if they
earnestly desired it. The government
of city is what the people make it. a
pure partisan government is impoSSi-
bic. The men who control the leading
political parties in this city do not de-
sire it, The police should not b. held
responsible, for they are tools in the
hands of the appointing power. If they
brought TO terms every violator Of Sun
day laws, the Mayor woud not approve
of it and they would ultimately be re-
moved.
What are we to do to secure purer
government? Neither of the political
parties would dare to nominate a man
who would advocate the enforcement of
the laws existing upon the statute books.
Partisan papers would not advocate his
election: they are but the servants of
the parties. The remedy for this evil
lies in the nomination Of Citizens
ticket 1t is the only method by which
pure government can be secured in our
large cities. Organization should be-
met with organization; the good men
should combine against the bad.

waging War on Coffee.

DR.. Mendel, of Berlin, says that the
inebriety Of coffee, if not as dangerous
to others may be as harmful to its sub
jectS as alcoholism; and there is little
dispute OF the fact that in the high
nerve tension American make up, tea
and coffee become so harmfully and ha-
bitually necessary, as to render their
frequent use dangerous, as tending to
drive the physical machinery faster
than 1t was intended to run, thus cauS-
ing incalculable wear and tear. OF late
there has grown upa far more rational,
because healthful custom, that of cocoa
drinking. This custom has been largely
brought about by the introduction into
this country OF that incompatible pro-
duet OF the cocoa bean, Van llouten' S
Cocoa. This cocoa is almost absolutely
nutritious and strengthening to the
nervous system. Gently stimulating, ii
aids digestion and all the ileSh-forming
functions. and Is peculiarly adapted for
the nervous and dySpeptic, Van Hou-
tens Cocoa has a worldwide reputation
as being superior to anything of the
kind manufactured.

The REGISTER, yesterday morning,
gave an outline Of the speech of the
Hon. Thomas F. Grady, at the Grand
Opera House, Saturday evening.
This morning we present that speech
in fun, confident that IL will richly re-
pay careful perusal. No more eloquent
OF argumentatve speech has been made
In Wheeling for years, and a more force
ful presentation of the issues of this
campaign can scarcely be imagined than
is contained in this effort Of the Sena-

The words and phraseology of the
speech is here before our readers; but
the information of voice, the expressive
gesture, and the emphasis and general
manner-ina word, the life Of the speech,
cannot be reproduced in cold type,
and the address is thereby robbed Of its
chicfest charm. These Deficiencies
must be supplied by the imagination of
the reader. The words of the speaker
