WE stUsr PROrEUT OURSELVES.

This is the age OF rapid material de-
veloDment. progress and city growth; it
IS also the age of equally rapid decay
and dwindling population, according to
the enterprise or apathy Of a cOmmuni-
". Its a continual struggle and a
case OF the survival Of the ftteSt, or,
rather, the strongest. For instance, in
an incredibly short time many small
TOWNS now double, treble and Quadruple
tbeir population and wealth, but it
must be borne in mind that this is true
only where the spirit of enterprise ex-
lists. where the citizens so TO work
with a will and determination to
mil vigorously together for the
sood of the community. Lacking this
enterprlsing spirit and energy, however,
no matter how great may be the natural
advantages Of a town it will surely find
itself at standstll, its Industries, if it
have any. deserving it on the repreSen-
tations Of its more hustling neighbors,
till after a while, it will find itself in
the rear.
Tn these days Of development and
boom associations and committees, of
which nearly every rapidly growing
city has one, the citizens Of other
cities, though they may not CO.
ipcide with tho boom idea, must in
self defense organize similarly to pre-
vent the drainage Of important indus
tries. which is going on all the time
from the older established cities to
these loud talking boom towns
where land is cheap, taxes nominal,
and where other moro or less evanescent
Inducements are held out to manufac-
turerS.
Wheeling has been the victim of thi:
raid OF the boomers to some extent, and
though her advantages as an industrial
CITY are unsurpassed anywhere in the
limited States, she is bound to suffer
considerably more, unless her citizens
get together and stop the leak. Every
mandatory that leaves us takes away
Just so many dollars in taxes, and il
wages, that are spent among our mer
chants and circulated among ourcitizens
and we are as whole, just that mucl

A TERRIBLE TRIP.
The Winds Blew Great Guns and the
Waters Run Sky High.

Waters Run Sky High.
MONTREAL, CAN, July S.-The steam
ship Lake Superior, Capt. Stewart from
Liverpool, Friday June 26, got into port
Yesterday afternoon, Her passage was
one of the most eventful and unfortu-
nate that has been experienced by any
steamer coming to Montreal for many
years. Although no fatalities occurred
the fact that at least one man has been
manned for life and that about $50 men
and women emigrants have been put
ashore with scarcely stitch of cloth
ing they can call their own, makes the
case an extremely sad one. The Lake
Superior came through frightful hur-
ricane which even in the dead OF winter
has not often been surpassed in violence
On Saturday afternoon a southern
gale sprung up and increased in fury 3
the hours wore on until Sunday morh-
ing at about o'clock it was blowing a
terrible hurricane. The sea was tre-
mendous and not a soul dared venture
out of his or her state room. The
waves washed over the decks, sweeping
every loose article overheard. A cattle
man named Oracle had his leg broken
by the shifting Of the cargo. The dam
age caused by the hurricane was fright
full. The passengers lost nearly all
their belongings, the steerage passen
gers especially suffering severely. The
hurricane lasted for nearly three days.

and constable and little council,
with all OF whom every man, woman and
child was on terms Of familiar intimacy,
where there was no chance to steal be-
cause there was not money enough with
! in reach to make it worth while, and be-
cause everybody had the towns finances
at his fingers ends and could immedl-
ately account for every cent paid In OF
drawn out of the town bank; no chance
TO slight improvements, because every
body was right there TO see the WORK
done, to hobnob with the contractor, and
know the cost TO a nickel. The laoors
of a country Mayor and Council are re-
warded usually by glory, only, and there
being little government to carry on
there is little or no opportunity for cor
ruption.
This. doubtless, would have been the
companion picture to the corrupt ana
bosS-ridden governments OF most OF our
large cities, which the Sun would have
held up had Mr.. WILSON taken the OPP
posite view, for the Sun is nothing II
not combative, and it is not particular
as to which side it is on 50 it IS In
scrimmage.
But does the Sun really mean that
city government in metropolis
like New York, where the spoils OF
Office, are enormous, and are practically
the only inducements to. men to seek
Office: where the affairs Of millions are
in the hands OF a few politicians, wire
pulers and boodlers, whose doings not
one man in hundred knows much, II
anything. about; where rings control,
and Boards of Aldermen are bought,
and all forms of corruption known
to the INSCRIPTIONS politician
are practiced; does the Sun mean
that this state of affairs is no worse
than that existing in the country? The
supreme absurdity of such statement
But the Sun points out the fact that
the countryman is always anxious to get
to the city to enjoy its supposed greater
comforts. Certainly; the moth is al
ways anxious to get to the flame that
consumes it, also. The sam compares
city streets with country roads, to the
great disadvantage of the latter; but 1T
fails to compare the cost and to note
the fact that for the sum necessary to
pave one square in New York city, I
mile or more of good, durable country
road might be built, with the chances
of there being no LOB" in it.
In the country, the people have the
largest individual liberty; they have as
little government as they can get along
with; and upon them depends the sta
bility and real wealth of the nation.
Government. Mr. WILSON contended
in his adiresS-and this was the main
point he urged-should be as widely diff
fused among tile people as possible, and
that, as the general government
abandoned this Democratic the
Dry and centralized power in |
the hands of the few, making
itself, and not the people, the dispenser
IF wealth, and the partner Of great cor
Dorations that fatten off the toll of the
farmer and the laborer. the country. was

NV the Utopia was Raised.

GIBRALTAR, July s.-The Anchor
line steamer Utopia, which was sunk
during the night of March II, last by
running upon the spur of the British
iron-clad Arson, and as result Of
which accident nearly GOO italian emf
grants lost their lives was raised today
by means of Golfer dams on a super
structure of timber built from the ships
sides to the surface and forming an
immense tank. This tank was lined
with strong canvas and was $40 feet in
length. Six powerful centrifugal
pumps exhausted the water in the
tank which with the vessel ascending
inside of it. was dragged shoreward and
was eventually rested upon the beach.

New York's Foolish Law.

NEW YORK, July s.-The Sun this
morning violates the law which forbids
the publication Of details of an eXecu-
ton, and so does every other paper in
the State. The Sun, however, comes
out in double-leaded editorial, demand
ing the repeal of the law, and "engages
itself to support any Republican candi-
date who shall promise to vote or work
next winter for the repeal OF the foolish
and unconstitutional law, which strikes
at the liberty OF the press. as against
any Democrat who shall refuse or omit
to put himself on record for free speech
and free press"

The Gun was Defective.

LONDON, July S.-Lord George Ham
iltop. first Lord Of the Admiralty has
made a statement in the House OF Com
mons in regard to the recent fatal ex-
plosion of a gun on the man-of-war Cor
della in Australian waters. The Cor
della. he said, was engaged in target
practice at the time of the explosion.
After six rounds had been fired, the gun
was loaded with a full CHARGE ga
pound common shell and five minutes
later. on the firing of the seventh round
the gun burst. The gun was one
of the earliest designs of six
inch breech leaders and fired
much heavier charges than those pre-
yiously used. There are 81 guns afloat
OF this pattern, the manufacture OF
which was discontinued some time ago.
These guns have been in use some
wears. No want Of confidence is ex-
pressed about them. This is the first
time any loss of life has occurred on
board of any of Her Majesty's ships by
breech-loader accident arising from a
defect in the gun. 1t is stated at Ports
mouth that the gun which exploded on
the man-of-war Cordelia had previously
been found defective and had been
strengthened, but the fact that the six
charges had been fired before it ex-
ploded tends to show that it was in q
co 70 condition.

Brutal Spanish soIdIery.

SAN FRANCISCO, July s.-Nan Pie.
Chief of Ponape, in the Caroline Islands,
has arrived on the steamer Australia
from Honolulu. He comes, it is said,
to appeal to President Harrison in be-
half OF his people, who are threatened
with ruin by Spanish soldiery. He says
ais people endured the brutality OF the
Spanish as long as they were able. 1t
is understood he has sent strong letters
to Washington urging the government
to dispatch a man-ofwar to Ponape to
protect the property of Americans and
to insist upon fair dealing by Spaniards
toward the natives.
