The Vanishing Alliance.

1t is said that the recent elections
killed the Alliance movement. Itwould
be nearer the truth to say that the cleo
lions exposed the weakness Of the Al
lance as q political factor. 1t is not
quite dead; it is dying, because it has
not enough to feed on.
In the fullncss OF its supposed vigor
its greatest achievement was to disturb
the politicians and keep them oil the
ragged edge. Ii they had known its
real condition, how cmaciatcd and list
less it was, they would not have cared
a rap iorit.
Tho recent elections hurt the Alliance
people. because they had promised

WHEELING. NOVEMBER 10. 1901.
The Edison Compnny,s ordipnucc.

The Edison Compnny's Ordinance.
With respectful Difference to those
members OF Council who oppose,the ad-
mission OF the Edison electrical COM
pany to this city, not one sufficient
argument has been advanced against
the proposition.
The best that has been said in oppo-
sition ID that the new company would
compete with tho city. This means
that where the company might find an
opening for its light the city would lose
acustomer for its gas. But this infer
encc is against all experience.
When the electric light first appeared
on the field there were prcmonitory
symptoms of panic along the holders OF
gas stocks. Their unstruns nerves re-
sumed the normal state when the sur
prising discovery was made that in the
face OF the electric light more gas was
being used than before. The people
We're becoming accustomed to better
illumination, and as the cost OF the
electric light deferred many from avail
ing themselves OF it they lit more gas
burners and turned their lights up
higher. The consumption OF illuminat-
ing gas in Wheeling was never so great
as it is now, and yet the company furn-
ishing electric light has its capacity
strained to supply its customers.
To say. now that no other company
shall embark in the electric light bust
ness is to say that the pioneer company
shall have monopolywhich would have
sold for large price ii it had been pro-
perly labeled and offered to the highest
bidder. To take this stand is to be
grossly unfair to the people OF Wheel
ing, who have right to healthy COM
petition.
The Edison company, however, pur-
poses q more comprehensive service
than electric lighting. 1t includes in
Its programme heating, which is more
than dream; and power, particularly
in the dwindling Of the natural gas
supply, will be q boon beyond estima.
tion to persons engaged in light manu-
featuring, an interest already large in
this city and which must grow with tho
city's growth.
The electric light company now in
the field cannot be blamed for desiring
to hold the monopoly it has; but Coun-
Gil will be open to sharp ccnsure ii it
plays into the hands of this company,
which has shown anything but gratitude
for the grace it has had at the city's
hands.
The Edison company should be vel
coined because it comes with some
thing the people want and desire Il
chance to buy. Since the admission OF
the Edison company would violate no
law and no propricty, Council should
let the people have their way.

An Anti.shcrman Argument.

One OF the arguments used for lack OF
better against Senator Sherman's re-
election is that the Democrats want
him to remain where nc is. Well, sup
pose the Democrats are right for once
is that a sufficient reason why the Re-
publicans oi.ohio should go wrong?
To say that John Sherman is the
Democratic candidate is to make m in
situation quickly and crushingly an
swered by the public career OF the hon
ored Ohio statesman. When John
Sherman ceases to be a trustworthy
Republican it will be because he has
passed away or because Republicanism
has become as q tale that is told.
John Sherman represents what is best
in the Republican party and in the ma
ton, and though it were his lot to be
defeated in this contcst-as it is not
he would be no less statesman for his
party, hisstate and his country are to be
proud OF.

Control orthc Police Force.

The people OF Wheeling will be glad
tc see Council pass u proper ordinance
ior the regulation OF the police force,
which.ia OF sufficient importance to be
regulated with view to its highest
possible efficiency.
The people pay to maintain the police
force and they have Il right to expect
services commensurate, with the cost.
The better the ordinance the better the
people will be pleased. The ordinance
prepared is full OF good points. But
what do ordinances amount to ii thcy
are not enforced?
How ia Council 20 have the control it
should have so long as the chief OF
police holds his office directly from the
people? lie understands the inilu-
cnccs he has to deal with, and it will
require man OF more courage than our
chiefs OF police have shown to do his
full duty by the whole people.
To command the chief to report

keepers OF houses Of prostitution. gam
bling hclls and that sort OF public
nuisance, is to ask OF him what he is
not likely to do with popular election
back Of him and a politicians ambition
before him.
When We come to have areal mayor
OF Wheeling, with power equal to the
responsibility, we may have chief of
police who will do his duty fearlessly or
give way to another experiment.

great things at this time. They dc.
clared that the Alliance was getting
strong enough to elect n President OF
the United States, and the November
elections were to give some earnest OF
this strength.
What they did was very different

umphs OF their organization arc won.
They arc PETER and Simpson, and
Simpson is giving signs OF falling from
grace. Since his election he has been
putting on socks and other airs.
