AS TO nA4CA oASAA - Ae- = -
The esteemed but rather hasty Intel
liocncer goes to the trouble OF looking
back over the ales Of the REolsrEH and
Quoting therefrom to show that the
REGISTER has been contradicting itself
in regard to its position 1.-THE Edison
Electrical Company's proposed ordi-
nance.
II our esteemed, but Eighty, neigh
Dor had carefully read the articles
IL quotes It would have hesltated
before charging the REGISTER with
having chopped" The REG1sTEB
has never had any objection to
the Edison company, other than
that If granted the franchise 1t
asked, the city would probably be barred
from going into the business OF supply
ing electricity to private consumers.
On the ssth Of last October, the REEFS
TER in the very article which the Intetii-
QenCer quotes said:
II Council Is satisfied that It can slffi-
Gently hedge the ordinance about with safe
guards TO protect the interests OF the puouc,
and insure no interference should the city
itself In the future desire to go into the
business OF, say, furnishing private con-
sumers with electrical light or heat we see
no reason why il should not grant the peti-
ton.
Since the REGISTER gave this advice
Council has diligently and thoroughly
investigated the matter and has arrived
at the conclusion that such an ordinance
could not be framed so as to guarantee
to the city the rights she now possesses
As the vote last Tuesday shows Council
was practically unanimous in its opinion
on this subject.
Our esteemed, but rather belonged,
neighbor should give plans and specif-
cations in connection with it's charge
that the REGISTER has chopped" in its
expressions OF opinion on the proposed
ordinance.
The Edison Company is composed Of
Wheeling citizens, all Of whom stand
high in the community. They are. all
honorable gentlemen for whom the
REGISTER has the highest regard and
respect. For the company and the i'm
provements it proposes we have nothing
but commentator. But the city has
vast interests which would conflict
with the franchise asked.
And between a private corporation
and the city the REGISTER is for the
city every time.
If the city does not go into the bust
ness Of supplying private consumers
with electricity as it now does with gas,
If the city gives away the valuable
franchise asked by the Edison Com
pany, it will probably not be long till
we find our costly and splendid gas
plant an elephant on our hands and the
cost Of the 100000 street lighting
plant, now in course Of erection, thrown
on the general city treasury.
In brief, the REGISTER wishes the
city and not private corporation to
have the proposed monopoly.
The esteemed IntelliQencer took the
same view the REGISTER takes when
the Hon. A. w. CAMPBELL was men,
Der Of the citizens committee, ap-
pointed to go to Charleston during
the last SESSION of the legislature to
protect the city's rights in this respect.
BY the way, speaking Of Hopping"
what has caused this remarkable
change to come over the spirit of our
neighbours electrical dream?

Shenandoah Brass and Iron
Works.


In recent interview with the Sec
rotary of the Shenandoah Brass and
Iron Works, we learn that it is the
intention of the Company to close
down their works the day before
Christmas. 1t is customary for this
line of trade all over the country to
do this. The Works will resume ac-
tive operations on Monday, January
4th, 1892. While closed down the
annual inventory will be taken, and
number of necessary repairs made
to the machinery. In fact, the en-
tire machinery will have a careful
going over. We were pleased to
learn that the Company felt so well
satisfied over what they had done
since they began operations almost
one year ago. They are shipping
their goods to nearly all the promi-
nent cities of the United States, and
their name is we'll known everywhere.
II had been the intention of the man
agement to put on largely increased
force, but there are times when sail.
ing ship that good navigators sud
denly see causes for shortening sal
and looking out for squalls. Several
months ago, as is well known to al
of our readers, the financial situation
did not look at all good, and all pru.
dent business men saw it was time tc
shorten sail, or in other words to avoid
becoming too far extended in theil
operations. The management of the
Brass Works concluded, therefore,
to take no unusual risks in the mat
ter of credit, but to only sell those
concerns whose reputation for solid
ity was beyond dispute. This did
away with the necessity of adding on
a number of new hands. 1t is very
gratifying to state that up to this
time the Brass Works has not made a
bad debt of one dollar. This we
think most remarkable showing, and
only goes to prove that we have in
our midst an institution which is
bound to go ahead an d to keep itself
on a solid foundation. The financial
skies are, we are glad to say, clear
ing away, and tile outlook for the
business in the coming year is excel
lent. Prices are, to be sure, low, but
here again the management of the
Brass Works has shown itself to be
abreast of the times, for they have
been constantly adding new and i'm
proved machinery, which will enable
them to compete with any concern in
the business. In addition to manu-
featuring a large variety of brass
goods for plumbers, steam and gas
filters use, the Shenandoah Brass and
Iron Works are slowly, but surely,
obtaining a firm grip on the trade Of
the surrounding country in wrought
iron pipe, fittings, tools and other
goods not manufactured here. Our
people are beginning to realize the
fact that right at home they can pur-
chase as low as is possible in any Of
the large markets of the country. In
closing our remarks we can only say
that this institution has our best
wishes for its future success, and we
cordially recommend tito all of. our
friends and the trade generally, as we
believe that heme institutions should
be supported.
The prominence given to Hon. w.
L.: Wilson in the Speakership contest
