WHEELING. DECEMBER 10, 1901.
Tho Presidents Message.

Tho length Of the message this year
is almost-not quite-justiGed by the
number OF important topics with which
tho President was called upon to deal.
With regard to II foreign citations, for
example, it would not have been
enough TO say that We are ''at peace
with all the world and the rest OF man
kind"
Our foreign relations have assumed
an Importance not equaled in former
years. This is due in part to unusual
circumstances and in partto the growth
and increasing variety OF our business
with the world.
Tho seal fisheries have made our re-
lations with Great Britain OF special
moment. Tho unhappy New Orleans
episodei the murderous assault on II
sailors in Valparaiso; the uprising in
China, where We have missionaries and
commercial interests ;the atrocioust treat
ment OF the Jews in Russia, which APP
peals to all humanity and may result in
rome embarrassments to us; the
Nicaragua canal tho status abroad OF
u swine products international copy
right; the ocean mail service; questions
Of boundary between British North
America and ourselves on tho north,
aed Mexico and ourselves on the south;
the essential feature OF the silver qucs-
ton which involves international consi-
derations,-these matters could not be
briefly dismissed, and the President has
given them adequate and lucid discus
sion.
The tariff receives less attention than
might have been expected, but what the
President says on this subject goes
struight to the point and is unanswera-
Bile. His position on the silver question
is uncompromisingly in favor OF n dol
lar OF full value, and yet it is so reason
able and SO strongly fortified by facts
beyond controversy that it should com
mend itself to American silver pro-
duccrs no less than to the common
sense OF the country in general.
The anomaly OF our relations with the
Indians was never more forcibly shown,
and unless Congress be unmindful of
this thing there will be early steps in
the direction suggested by the Presi-
dent. Considerable space is we'll de-
voted to the freedom and purity OF the
ballot and to the atrocious job OF the
Michigan Democracy, subjects to which
the President should call the attention,
OF Congress and the country if it be.
worth while to write 4 message at all.
Tho discussion OF these vital questions
is calm, temperate, distinctly non-par-
tisan; yet it would be too much to
expect that tho President will escape
the savage criticism OF those partisans.
who arc willing that their party shall
profit by any wrong however fragrant.
The message has the great merit OF di-
rect, honest and courageous dealing with
every live question. 1t COMFORTS with
tho dignity of the chief magistrate OF a
great people. 1t is IN account OF stew
ardship OF which the President and the
political organization responsible for
his official being may well be proud. 1t
is SO broad that every broad American
can approve it.

BREAKFAST BUDGET.

Two boys near Boston Island, Booth
Bay harbor, last week saw two big
eagles fighting in the air 200 feet above
the water. The talons OF one bird be-
came entangled in n wing Of the other,
and both fell into the sea. When the
| bows rowcd out to themone ofthc eagles
| showed fight and they were obliged to
| kill it, but the other was captured alive
and measures six feet from tip to tip.
Londoners are very much interested
in the discovery that the one original
home OF cashmere shuwls is not CASH
mere, but Germany. Large quantities
| OF German-made shawls are taken to
Indiu without limitations OF Cashmere
marks on them, and sent into the intc-
rior and sold rs native products. They
cost in Calcutta about 81. They sell
for 81.
The Chinese denizens OF New York
are excited over the news OF the insur-
rection in China. The dispatches from
Pekin i'll the daily papers are translated
into Chinese by Cinnamon who can un-
derstand them, snd then they are read
by tho groups OF la%undrymen who
gather to hear them.
A Moscow merchant, who some time
ago informed tho authorities Of n coll
vent in the city that no would give
| them hall il he won the first prize in
the State Loan lottery, has placed with
them 100000 roubles .(S50,000) for the
use OF the convent. He won the prize
and kept his word.
Two fishermen ut Isle an Haut, Me-,
recently captured a devil fish which
measured four and q half feet in length.
and ~twcnty-three inches across the
back and weighed over 100 pounds. The
creature fought %furiously and would
have been more than a match for Il
man.

The Irish Fund and Mrs. Parncll.

Tho Irish Fund and Mrs. Parncll.
The thousands OF Instantaneous,
and other sympathizers with the cause
OF Ireland in tlis country, who contrib
itcd the $4,000 which Paris bankers
hold in their vaults 10 the credit OF Mrs.
Parncll, Bisgar and Mccarthy, as trus-
tees, will be surprised to learn that the
widow OF tho late leader claims the en-
tire amount rs her private property.
The word indignation will probably
most correctly express their feelings on
reading this bit of news regarding what
a London correspondent describes as
"the browning piece Of %impudonco OF
Kitty 0'Shea, putting a fitting climax
TO tho cruel and calamitous part which
she has played in tho tragic drama OF
Irish affairs"
At first blush it seems incredible that
there should be u law by which such 4
monstrous claim could find encourage
ment, and yet such is the construction
OF Frencl, law that all Mrs. Parnell will
have to do is to prove that the fund,
being deposited in the names OF the
trustees, is private property, to prove
herself entitled to Mt least 4 share OF it.
The point to be decided is, Does Eng
lish law apply to the goods OF English
subjects in France? Ii the French
courts so decide, then Mr.. Mccarthy,
the surviving trustee, would come into
control OF tho fund, and it would be APP
piled to the purpose for which it was
subscribed. Ii they decide in the mega.
tive, then Mrs. Parnell, if she proves
the money was privateproperty, would,
as her husbands heir, come, into pos
session OF onc-third OF it. a point in
her favor is that the French law does
not recognize trusts. 1t is, however, Il

To supprcss vIclous Lltcrnlurc.

To Suppress Vicious Literature.
The Women's Christian Temperance
Unions throughout tho country have
united in a movement which should re-
celve the support OF good people every
where. 1t has for its purpose the sup.
preston OF the circulation OF indecent
literature.
In a monster petition to President
Harrison, now in circulation in all the
states for signatures, it is stated that
there are no less than thirty-fvc hun
dred newspapers published in the
United States which the Canadian
government will net allow to be circu-
lated through the dominion mails, and
the petitioners pray the President to
use his power "and cndeavor to have
the same restrictions made by the pos
tai authorities OF this country"
The VIC. 7. U. is not alone in this
movement, though it is entitled to the
credit OF inaugurating SO practical a
method OF enlisting the public in the
matter. Other organizations are giving
their aid, and it is said that the sigma
lures already secured run into the hun
drcds OF thousands.
Such q step in the direction OF secur-
ing n long needed reform will undoubt-
eddy be effective in calling the attention
OF ourpostal authorities to an evil which
has been too long neglected. Strict
rules are already in force which prohib-
it the use OF the mails for the circulation
OF obscene literature and for fraudulent
purposes, but somethinsmore is needed.
The line between decency and indie
cency is not drawn so sharply rs it
should be. 1t is not enough to suppress
the circulation OF obscene pictures and
books. The rule should be made broad
enough to cover newspapers and books
which, though not classcd rs obscene,
are just as demoralizing, il not more so,
and are doing more TO corrupt the
morals, minds and the literary tastes OF
young America than all the obscene
trash cver circulated. They should be
barred from the mails, and the sooner
it is done the better.
