A HILL poMER.


1t has been matter OF comment in
Wheeling that in NIL his speeches Mr..
Grady never once mentioned ex-Presi.
dent Cleveland's name. The reason is
plain. He is personal enemy OF Cleyc.
land and ls in this State in Governor
tlills interest for 1892. Like other Tam.
many leaders, he is paid by that society
to boom Hill for the Presidency. Evil
dence OF this fact is not wanting. Gov.
e!nor Hill himself in his speeches at
some OF the Baltimore & Ohio stations
between here and Grafton last Saturday
referred to the fact that "h1y personal
friend, Hon, Thomas F. Grady, OF New
York, will speak at the Grand Opera
House in Wheeling Tonight" and ad.
vised Democrats to "go up to Wheeling
aud hear him." No comments are
necessary.
WHAT DO CLEVELAND DEMOCRATS THINK
What do those Democrats who "ad.
miro Cleveland for the enemies he has
made" think OF Mr.. Grady by this time
Grady spoke at Clarksburg last night.
While in Wheeling he put in his spare
zine among Irish voters, going from
house to house, pcrsuading them
that Governor Hill, is the coming
man for tho Presidency. II ia not be.
iieyed that he made much headway.

papers, in which Senator Sherman said
that the absence Of the rebate clause

To ascertain II Senator Sherman was
quoted correctly, we addressed him a
letter at his home at Mansfield, Ohio,
and below will be found his reply:
MANSFIELD, October "a.
Wt,!trn To6octo Jonrna.:
In response to your letter OF the o3l
l have to advise you that the express
purpose Of postponing the taking effect
OF section 80 Of the tariff act, which pro.
vldes for the reduction OF internal taxes
on smoking and manufactured tobacco,
from eight cents per pound under the
old Law to elk cents per pound until
after the fret day OF January, 1891, was
that it was believed that as the general
law took effect on the 9th OF October, the
lapse Of three months ti1ue would be
sufficient to exhaust the, supply on
hand; and therefore no rebate was pro.
vided as in some former reductions. I
nnderstood it distinctly that way, and !
have no doubt that all who participated
in the conferences took the same view OF
the matter. jtg tge2'7 .ss. 4sss

PROBATE COURTS.

A recent contingency and mark.
ed necessity has called ny alten.
ton to most unfortunate Omis-
sion and defect in or "Probate
Laws"
We have Onr ancient "mOnthly
County Court" fixed by calendar
law, that is to say, for each month
a term, vary ing with the calendar.
The Court alone has power to
grant letters Of administration, the
qualification of Administrators, Ex.
ecatOrs, Guardians and it must be
in open Court.
Sometimes, large estate suffers
because there is no hand TO care
tor it for the month. The Temple
Door IS closed. For uncOntested
matters of probate: &c, ia most Of
our sister states the COur: is al
ways open, not formally sitting,
but the Clerks Office Is Away s
open, aud the Clerk acts in uncOn-
tested matters Just as he does in
admitting Deeds tor record.
A store may DO closed up tor a
month, firm be without a head,
business suffer, because Mr.. A, is
dead, and no Court is sitting, or
can SIT.
we trust the next Legislature
will remedy this. w.
