was just as much corruption North Of

south of IT, lie confessed that they
occasionally killed a negro ia the South,
but in the North they purchased them.
The difference between the South and
the North was. that iu the North they
found 10 cheaper to use silver; I'm the
south they found 10 cheaper 10 use
lead: and both parties We're running ON
the most economical line. The st.

went up iu Wheeling and said tr the
|Navor aud Council that he had mad
dog ON the outside of the city, and
wanted 90 bring him in and turn him
loose. and he would offer =, 900 license

hc could not do that, because his child
might Doe the first one 20 be bitten and
die Of hydrophobia. lie would reply
I chat was the business of the dog TO
bite. but if the Mayors child died he
would have the consolation that
it was mo- common dog that bit him,
but $1,000 licensed dog. He
was thousand times more in favor OF
free whi>key than of high license. High
license was % compromise between the
