CALICO CHARLEY ON SILVER.

In his recent silver speech Secretary
FOSTER said that on the passage OF the
Silver law of 1878 he had shared the ap-
prehensions of many that evil would
follow a large coinage of silver dollars.
His remarks were apt to convey the I'M
preston that he was more OF gold
bug" thirteen years ago than he is now
a-daYs.
But the fact is, he voted for unre-
stricted free silver coinage in the House
of Representatives, aud he voted to pass
the Bland-Allison bill over Mr.. HAYES
veto. He was then so much Of free silver
man that he opposed the policy OF Re-
publican President and Republican
Secretary of the Treasury, both from
his own State, and refused to join GAR
FIELD in opposing free silver leglsla-
ton.
OF course Secretary FOSTERS present
opposition to the measure which he
favored In 1878, free silver coinage, Is
as worthy of approval as his objection
to a re peal of the Sherman silver law OF
1890 are foolish.
But Mr.. FOSTER is not much OF a
financier and very much of politician.

raE CIV AND rae EDISON COMPANY


Last night Council rejected the Edison
Electrical ordinance. The action was
taken. not hastily, but after due delloer-
ation. and after both sides had hac
their say and presented their arguments
fullv Council at the same time instruct
ed The Board Of Gas Trustees and the
CITY Solicitor TO ascertain the probable
cost of the plant of the Wheeling Eiee-
trical Company, and report the same TO
Council.
The latter action is purely technical
and is a necessary preliminary to the
city, herself, going into the business oil
furnishing electricity to private con-
sumers.
Councils action is highly commend
able and is directly in line with the
recommendations made by the REGISTER
at the start, namely, that the proposed
ordinance should not be passed unless so
drawn up as to guarantee to the city
the privilege Of going into the business
whenever it chose to do so, which,
involved the purchase Of the new
eompany's patents at price to be
determined by arbitration, whenever
the city should decide to purchase.
Council has not seen its way clear to
the framing of such an ordinance, ana
it is certain it would be exceedingly
hard to frame such an ordinance, par
ticuIarly, in view OF the city's experience
In the matter.
Consequently, Council has taken the
safe course and rejected the ordinance
altogether. 1t has taken this action
with a view solely to the best interests
Of the city, and every thoughtful citizen
must applaud it's action.
Tue monopoly which Council has just
refused to grant a private corporation
is as truly natural monopoly as !
would be were it to supply water. The
city already supplies private consumers
with water and light-why not with
electricity, for light, or for any other
purpose Of equally general use? The
citizens through their city government,
using the same patents and machin-
cry, could certainly do their own
lighting and heating cheaper than any
private, money-making corporation
would ever agree to do it.
Council should lose no time in sup
plementing its action of last night and
should go to work to provide ways and
means whereby tho city may go into
the business Of supplying its citizens
with electricity as it now does, to such
great advantage with water and gas.
Electricity is the light, heat and power
OF the future.

MIR. HAYES in his capacity as trustee
OF the State Educational Fund recently
visited Georgia, and speaking of the
cordial welcome he received everywhere
from the Southern people, the New
York EUeRtnG Post says:
Leaving out Of account the question
whether Hayes or Tilden ought TO have oc.
cupied the Presidential chair, it is easy
now to believe that il was the most fOrtu-
nate thing for the South and the country
that the place was given to Hayes. The
most important question then pending was
the attitude of the Federal Government
towards the Southern States. Hayes
pursued essentially the same policy in this
respect that Tilden would have adopted;
he removed the troops, allowed the Repuo-
hcan carpet-bag governments TO fall TO
the ground, and surrendered the control OF
South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana 10
the white Democrats. II Tilden had done
this he wOUld have met the bitter oppOsi-
ton of the whole Republican party, and
there would have been grave danger of a
reaction of sentiment at the North. Done
by Hayes, the Republicans, much as they
were inclined 10 grumble, could not disa-
VOW il, and the inevitable was thus accom-
plished in the smoothest way possible
Our esteemed and brainy mugwump
contemporary seems to forget that the
political emancipation Of the South was
almost completed under the Admins
tration Of President GRANT. OF the
eleven States that had participated in
the Rebellion nine had homo rule be-
fore Gen. GRANT left the White House.
Louisiana and South Carolina alone had
Republican Governors or rather Guber-
material claimants when HAYES took
possession Of the Presidential office.
The politicians objected to the with
drawal Of the troops from the capitals
of those two States, and the refusal OF
HAYES to uphold the Republican claim
ants was no more than he could do, in
view Of President GRANTS action, and
was simply an admission Of the fraud
ulent basis Of his own title to the Presi-
dency.

THE FLORIDA sENAroRsHIP.

II ought not to take the Senate long
to dispose Of the Florida Senator
ship case. 1t is simple enough.
After a long deadlock, Senator WIKI
ISsoN CALL, was reelected last winter,
receiving ffty-one votes out Of the 100
members Of the legislature, clear ma
joaity as prescribed by statute. A ma
jority Of the State Senate, however, re-
fused to enter the joint convention, and
the Governor on the ground that a
majority of each house, not majority
OF both in ointconvention, was required
TO elect, refused 20 give Mr.. CALL the
certificate, and has issued one TO ex-
Congressman RoBERr II. NJ. DAVIDSON.
The federal statute is perfectly clear
that majority Of the joint convention
IS sufficient to elect, and it is impossible

ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT
Given at the Wesley ~. e. Chapel, Last
Evening.

Evening"
The musical and literary entertain
ment given at the Wesley M. E. Church,
was an artistic and financial success.
The church was crowded, and the
audience bestowed its applause freely

manner, after which Miss Bird Chap
man sang in pleasing manner,
mot Ashamed Of Christ" Mr..
Robert Bryson's rendition OF
The Dutchman's Advertisement for
a Lost Horse" kept the audience in a
roar. Mr.. Edw. Cunningham played
cornet solo from Hermann in a faultless
manner. Mrs. Harry Travis sang solo,
which was well rendered. A recitation,
THE Old Sergeant" by Miss Nettie
Stephens, followed, and was pleasing
rendition. By special request Mr.. Rob
ert Darrah, the talented young elocu-
zionist, recited "Spartacus' Address to
the Gadiators," after which Messrs.
Conrad, Miller and Otto were heard in
banjo and guitar trio that was re-
ceived with much applause. Miss Helen
Johnson sang in charming manner
Tit for Tat" after which Miss
Nora Bowman recited THE Death
Bridge of the Tey," difficult
selection, rendered in an effective man
ner. The programme closed with a
trio, violin, cornet and piano, by Misses
Ocea Dakin; Helen johnson and Edw.
Cunningham.
Refreshments were served in the
north class room, and brief season OF
social amusement followed. On the
whole, the affair was gratifying sue
cess. and a neat sum was realized.

few people are entirly free from it, SO insidious
that it gains firm hold almost before its VIC
tins are aware Of its presence, so dangerous as
to seriously threaten the general health, ana
liable to develop into bronchitis or
Consumption.
It is a mistake to consider Catarrh merely
local trouble. tits unqusstionably disease Of
the blood. and therefore the right way to cure
Catarrh is to remove from the blood the impur-
itfes which cause and feed it. This is to be
done by taking Hoods ssrsapsrilla, the great

These reasons summed up, would be

thUS cited Protection % American in
dustry, honest money, honest elections,

Protection to American industry, "
comes first, and TO make it accord with
present Republican doctrine We move to
strike out the word industry" and
insert monopoly" American industry
is not protected when 1t is handed
over to monopolists and the tender
mercy Of holders Of trust certificates.
Honest money" is the next "Repub-
lican principle" quoted, OF which We
have an example in the present 74-cent
Republican silver dollar.
Honest elections" comes next, a sub
ject which we respectfully refer to
QUAY, DUDLEY Il Co., for appropriate
essays.
Justice to veterans" is another
Republican principle" which RAUM

have been robbing the veterans Of late,

"Free schools" is matter with which
the Republican party has nothing to do.

that West Virginia has developed the
