rns PRESENT COUNCIL AND ITS FRI
DECESSOR.

The Tntcllgcnccr has divcd into the
municipal campaign with its usual reek-
less haste aud bad Judgement COM
bination that has always handicapped
the Republican party wherever the
HlfcImcnccr's influence extended. 1t l.
trying. now. 70 find fault with the pres
emit Democratic Council and the depart
ments Of the municipal government
under its control. Asst cannot find any,
il inyents one. which il sets up and fires
at lust as IL the people Of Wheeling were
not as thoroughly convcrsant with the
facts as the Intelligence itself. Ii
brings a charge which no supporter OF
the Harrison administration aud the
last Republican Council ought to have
the efTrontery to mentiOn-nepotiSm.
Here is a sample Of the indictment 1t
brings against the present COuneil'
Councilman PoLLOCK's brother Is
member of the Water Board" True,
he is. And a nice fat, Sneeure il Is,
isn't il. II pays him 500 year II
costs him twice that sum to attend TO
the onerous duties Of the Office, and
from the consequent partial neglect OF
his priyate business, not TO speak OF the
worry entailed and the abuse OF such
ignorant or malicious critics as the M
icliqeaoer. He did not seek the once.
which costs him more than it pays him.

TIE TN PLATE ROMANCE.

The Intclligcnccr still has the tin
plate mania. IL has discovered that
"fvc large mills will be in operation by
next summer, and more will spring up
as the demand for the home product
arises"
Does not the Mtcliigncer know that
there is not tin mine in the country
that has been found sufficiently profit
able TO warrant even the erection Of re-
duction works? Without the raw ma
terial and without the skill and peculiar
labor necessary 10 the manufacture Of
tin plate, it can only be made in this
country by the hot-house process, in
other words. TO place the tariff so high
that it will raise the price Of tin Ia the
United States To- point that will make
10 profitable enough To warrant a few
capitalists going into the business, even
though they have 10 import their tin
ore from Wales. On the same theory
bananas could bee raised In Maine. All
tina, would bee necessary would be a
tariff on bananas high enough TO warrant
somebody raising them in lighthouses.
The manufacture OF tin plate is an
industry that does not belong to this
country. What will it profit the 5000,
900 people in the United States 10 pay
four or FIVE prices for their tinware,
simply to enable :ew capitalists to
build tin plate mills in this cnuntry and
get rich9 A nation conuot thus tax
itself rich any moro than man can
me- himself by his boot-StrapS. 1t
would Dee infinitely cheaper for the gov
crnmcnt % pension these would-be tim
plate manufacturers directly out of the
United States Treasury, and then take
the tariff on tin plate entirely and give
the people cheap tinwarc.
The Pittsburg Press, a high protcc-
tion paper. was red-hot advocate OF
the Mckinley tariff ON tin-plate till it
discovered that it wasn't high enough TO
warrant the introduction OF the tim
plate hot-house process in the United
States. Now it says:
"Whv should what was intended to be
prohibitorv tariff on tin be maintained
lts effect would only be to enhance the
price of tin TO the consumer, without en-
iar-ine the industrial capacity Of the coun-
TRY bv a new enterprise ON large scale Tor
thp benefit Of American labor. Under these
circumstances IL would perhaps be wise
for Congress at its next meeting in Decem-
Der 10 repeal the tin-plate clause OF thenew
tariff act. and the motion should be made
and carried out by Republicans. 10 IS Det-
ter 10 recognize facts In politics, and II Is
n fact nOw that the tinplate tariff cannot
benefit anybody. and its repeal eanno. dis
turb any trade or branch OF industry.

4 MINISTER JAILED.
The Rev. Peter Roberts VIII spend the
Next Three Months i'm Prison.


SCRANTON. November 22.-The Rev.
Peter Roberts, whose reputation has
been extended through his being the
defendant in breach of promise
suit brought against him by
Miss Annie HuSabOc. and against
whom the jury rendered verdict
of $1,000 damages, was surrendered
by his bail to-day, and will tomorrow
spend his first Sunday in the county
iail. The reverend betrayer OF Miss
HuSabOe'S affections is 4 poor man, and
it would have distressed him had he
made arrangements to meet the amount
OF the Judgment. He ca2 secure his
liberty after three months under the in
solvent laws. 1t is charged that the
Rev. Mr.. Roberts has another object
than poverty in Offering himself for I'M
priSOnment.
Bad rs was the evidence against him,
his old congregation asserts its faith In
his innocence, and he will now command
the sympathy OF the friends who have
so faithfully defended him. BY many
he will be heralded as martyr. His
surrender was attended with the great
est secrecy, and court officials aided him
in seeking to keep it from the newSpa-
perS.
Roberts has been appointed editor Of
the Blade, small weekly publication,
and will continqe to edit it in his prison
cell.

THE BERDAN CASE,
Indications that the Decision Will be
in Favor of the Claimants.

An order was published from the Court Of
Claims yesterday which indicates very clearly
that the forthcoming decision upon the cele-
brated Berdan claim, which has been
under argument for nearly two decades, will
favor the claimants. This case is probably one
of the most celebrated that has come before
the court, involving upward OF half a
million dollars. The claim is by the
Berdan Fire Arms Company for recovery from
the government of compensation for the use of
part of Hiram Berdans inventions in the rifle
adopted by the War Department The case
has been n tedious one, argument after argu-
ment having been made to prove that it was
these devices and none other that the govern
ment had taken. The court Monday handed
down a memorandum remanding the case for
further argument as to whether the government
was liable and to what an extent. Yesterday
Judge Davis rendered a decision, in which he
says:
I'VE conclude that the government is using,
in the Springfield gun, the ejector device COW
cred by letters patent No. 8S43G. owned by
plaintiffs. AS to the statute of limitations we
see no reason to change the conclusions
reached by US upon this subject in the case
of Butler agt. the United States We are not
prepared to render final decision as to the
liability of defendants for the use of the ex-
tractor device, without further proceedings,
the nature of which is indicated in an order
filed herewith remanding the cause"

FINE IN DRue SroRE.-The drug store Of
Thomas L. Cropley, corner of 30th and NJ
