ANrw OHIEF OF POLICE.

The Council Committee on Police was
commercially prompt in accepting the
resignation of Chief Of Police DEL
BRUGGE.
And, now, having progressed thus Tar
toward a clean capable and honest ad-
mlnistration Of the Police Department
the next most important move in that
direction is the selection OF the successor
Of the late Chief, an important duty
which devolves upon Council. The can
didates are numerous and it will doubt
less be difficult job to select the right
man. ~,
The Police Department is one OF
the most important in the city
government, and in no other IS
a capable and honest admin
tstration more desirable and necessary.
The position requires experience and
intelligence, besides irmuess and hon
esty. and Council should be careful In
its choice. An experienced, reliable
and clean man is what we want in that
DOsitlOn.

sFCRETARY OF WAR ELKINS.

The REGISTER congratulates another
prominent West Virginia Republican
politician this morning on the receipt OF
a splendid federal plum-the Hon. STE
PHEv B. ELKINs, now Of West Virginia,
whom President HARRISON yesterday
appointed Secretary Of War.
This, coming on top Of the appoint
ment Of Gen. GoFF to an important fed
eral judgeship, looks very much as il
the Administration were making dead
set, so to speak, at West Virginia for
1892, aud, also, that Mr.. HARRISON is to
be credltedwlth more political sense than
he has heretofore been supposed 10
possess. II is quite o neat solution of
the ELKINs-GoFF riddle, for the time
being, so far as Mr.. HARRISON is
interested in 1t.
What else it means is not difficult to
conjecture. According TO the most re-
liable political Straws now floating in
the wind, 1t means the retirement Of
Mr.. JAMES G.. BLAINE from the preS
Dental race. Mr.. ELKINS is a Blaine
man from the ground up and
would hardly enter President HARRI-
SONS Cabinet II Mr.. BLAINE were still
Mr.. HARRIsoN's opponent on the Presi-
dental race track. Mr.. BLAINE is
equally warm in his attachment to Ell
KINs, who has long been his political
side-partner, and it is known that he
has desired TO see ELKINs elevated to
the vacant Cabinet seat.
Looked at from all sides the appoint
ment very strongly bears the ear-marks
Of a deal between Mr.. BLAINE and
Mr.. HARRISON, by which the for
mer voluntarily retires from the
contest for the Republican nomina-
tion and throws his forces, so far, at
least, as they are under his control, TO
the latter.
And at the same time Mr.. HAIR
msoN scores a point in West Viz
glnia, TO which the Republican National
Committee has for some time been
quietly but none the less assiduously
devoting its attention-all of which de-
serves the careful consideration OF the
Democratic State Committee.

"CONCLUSME EvIpENCE.n

I think there are conclusive evidences
that the new tariff has created several
great Industries, which will, within few
years, give employment TO several hundred
thousand American worhingmen and
women. In viaw Of the somewhat over
crowded condition Of the labor market Of
tn United States, every patriotic citizen
should re, dice az such q result-PreSidcHt'S
Message
Mr.. HARRISON Omits to mention any
Of these evidences or to state in what
way they are conclusive. Unfortunate-
ly, too, while making his statement too
strong to be sustained by facts, he does
not make it strong enough to match the
boasts Of his party organs, which have
been proclaiming for many 8 year q
great and wonderful revival Of home in
duStry. For instance, the Intelllgcncer
saw tin. plate factories in active
operation all over the country, during
the last campain, giving employment
to thousands Of labOrers. Yet all
Mr.. HARRISON can say is that
be thinks something OF this sort will
be brought about within a few years"
If it has already come TO pass, as the
Intelligence assured US. why should the
President assign the realization Of this
dream to a distant future?
There is, however, conclusive evil
dence" that right here in Wheeling our
cristiRg great industries which give en-
plOyment TO many thousands Of Ameri-
can workmen may be considerably bet
tered. But this is to be done BY setting
aside not protection, but the policy of
tariff taxation, for which Mr.. HARRISON
pleads.
This evidence is furnished by gentle
men, most of them staunch RepubH-
ens, in whose experience as manufae-
turers the President can place conf
dence. We quote from their special
organ, the Ohio Taucy NanlUactrer,
which is devoted particularly to the

vicinity and is 4 rOek-ribbed protection

TIE MAY STREET. BRIDGE.

The most important portion OF the
new Main street bridge is complete, and
yesterday the keystone was lowered into
one OF the most magnificent stone arches
in the world. In one respect-that OF
width-this splendid structure stands
without an equal.
There has been much caviling and
criticism at the expense of both the city
and the contractors because the compile
ton of the bridge has been delayed be-
yond the time specified. But aside from
the fact that the weather has been
mainly res ponsible, no intelligent citi-
zen can look on this grand piece OF ma
sorry and feel himself justified in COM
planning.
For the city this new bridge will be
as splendid a bargain as it will be mag
nifcent as a bridge. For the contract
ors it is losing job and certainly they
are not to blame for its non-completion
at the specified time. The work has been
considerably more difficult than they be-
lieved when figuring out their estimates,
and to them, consequently, more costly.
The remainder of the work, however,
will be plain sailing and when the struc-
ture is complete those who voted for
iron instead of stone will see their error,
if they do not already, for that arch is
there TO stay and is as solid and endur-
ing as our grand old hills.

The Belle Prince passed down last
night for st. Marys.
The John Moren passed up yesterday
with tow OF empties.
The Bachelor for Cincinnati and the
Congo for Plttsburg are the packets
scheduled for to-day.
The new wharfboat for the R. c.
Phillips has been repainted and new
roof put on, and it presents a handsome
appearance.
The Hudson for Cincinnati and the
Scotia for Pttsburg were the big
packets yesterday. Both had good
trips, both in and out.
The Bennett which broke her shaft
fortnight ago at Cullom's, has had her
repairs completed and departed from
Cincinnati for Pittsburg.
The steamers Courier and Scotia had
lively race yesterday morning, both
leaving the wharf side and side. When
at the foot OF Sixth street the Conrier
was throwing water in the Scotia's face.
Mr.. James, X. Potts Steward, Of the
steamer Liberty has one of the neatest
and cleanest cabins OF any steamer COM
ing to this landing. The steamer
Liberty among her other freight yester-
day had hundred and sixty-seven sacks
OF corn for the Langhlin Mill Company.
The new Cincinnati packet Iron
Queen, If Commodore Johnston is to be
relied on, will be one OF the most COM
plete stern wheel beats ever built for
the trade. She will be supplied with
all the latest improvements and appli-
ances, and the safety and comfort OF
passengers will receive particular at
tention in the construction of the new
packet.
The recent heavy rains up the ALLIE
gheny river will probably cause an
other good boating stage of water. There
is not great deal OF coal loaded, but
then there are not great many steam
boats at Pittsburg. II another rise
similar to last weeks comes, probably
1000, 600 bushels of coal will be towed
away from that port during the next
two or three days. w. ii. Brown Sons
and Joseph Walton & Co. each have two
or three lows ready now, and the other
coal firms each have one and some two.
Quite a number of the towboats are now
on their way up the Ohio with empty
lows, and some Of them are expected in
time TO take out tOws Of coal.

LIEUTENANT ToTTEN, q. S. A., calcu-
lates that the end of the world, that is, of
present dispensation, is at hand and will
be upon us before 1899. He bases his be-
lief upon prophecy in the Fourth Book
of Esdras, verses 1912. By this he judges
that sixty-three sixteenths Of time had
expired when the prophet wrote, and
that, therefore, the world is upon its last
legs now and the second Advent is at
hand. But figures have proven the end
of the world near many time in the
past-fgures apparently as correct as
those of Lieutenant Totten. Moreover,
what of it? Those who are at peace with
the world have no accounts to settle, and
those who are not will strike balance no
sooner because of Lieutenant Totem
prediction.

THAT there cannot be much longer de-
lay in treating the drainage system of
Sacramento every intelligent person
knows. The sewage of the city must be
disposed of by artificial process. The
Shone system is probably out of the
question, because it is too costly for the
condition of city finances. But the sew
age may, at light cost comparatively, be
received in pits at the foot of street,
be there chemically precipitated and rem
dered harmless, and the remaining fluid
unobjectionable at that time-pumped
into the river. It would seem that such
plan is the only feasible one open TO
Sacramento at the present. The sooner
the people grapple with the problem the
more easily it will be solved. To post
pone action Injuries the city. Once taken
in hand, the task will not be so difficult
as in anticipation it appears. Once set
tied upon, new system of sewage dis
posal will inure to the prosperity of the
city. Indeed, its beneficial influence
will be Immediately felt in every branch
of business.
