THE EDITORS AT ST. PAUL.
w. 3. Cappcllar, Of Mansfield, o.,
Elected President Of the Association.

Never in their history have the
newspapers of America been so well
represented as at the seventh annual
convention of the National Editorial
association, which recently closed
at ST. Paul. Almost every state
and territory in the Union, as well
the provinces north of the interna-
tional boundary line, sent delegates.
The actual number present was 4S7,
Of whom 2SS exercised the voting
privilege. In addition to these we're
a large number of ladies.
The object of the organization is
to promote the best interests of the
fraternity The topics of discussion
were selected solely with this view.
Every possible subject of value to a
newspaper man, from the length and
character of editorials to the best
quality of ink, was discussed.
The closing session, at which Off
GERS for the ensuing year were elect
ed and the next place of meeting de-
termined upon, was the most excit-
ing of all The sense of the meeting
was ascertained by open voting, and
while the convention was wrestling
with the problem as to which of
three gentlemen should be it's presi-
dent the gavel maintained a contin-
uous rattle. The nominees were DR..
w. III. Hunter of Indianapolis; b. j..
Price, of Wisconsin, and w. S. Cap
pellar, of Mansfield, o. Eventually
Mr.. Cappellar..was declared the unan-
imous choice, and was escorted to
the platform amid vociferous cheers.
He is man of prepossessing APP
pearance, and besides being proprie
tor and editor of the The News, pub
lished at Mansfield, owns extensive
mining interests in Jasper county,
Mo. 1t is ten years since he enter
ed the newspaper field. Six years
ago he established the Ohio Asso-
ciated Press and for three years was
its president, He has been a dele
gate to the National Editorial asso-
citation for four successive years.
The fight over the next place of
meeting was exciting to degree.
The battle was engaged in by less
than fifty delegates, but they made
enough commotion Cor 300. Invi
tations had been received from Ashe
vile, N c., Roanoke, Va, and San
Diego, Cal. 1t was decided after
much contention to go to San Diego.

Cannot Find Purchasers for her Bonds
and Cant Pave.

Yesterday at noon the time expir-

of the street paving bonds which are
to be issued to the amount of $780,

Now there is a contingency to
meet that was not expected. 1t was
thought that bonds of this city
would be as good as old wheat, and
they are, but still no one has bid for
their purchase, and complicating
difficulty may ensue to council COM
mittee on finance.
The school board is laboring I'M
der the same difficulty. For the
past two months the board has been
trying to sell $4,000 of bonds, fo1
the new school building, but 80 far
there has not been a purchaser nor
sign of a purchaser.
What is to be done about it is not
known yet. The bonds ought to go,
but they don't 1t is thought that
the reason there has been no sale
for the bonds is that the business

A DISHONEST APPROPRIATION.


The absurdity of the claim made
by the protec tionists, when protec-
ted manufactured goods have declln-
ed in price, that such decline is the
"direct result of the protective sys-
tem,' may be seen from case in
which protection could not possibly
have had any effect.
Our corn canning industry affords
an excellent example of how indus
tries may be developed and costs be
lowered by inventions and improved
methods, entirely apart from any
outside stimulus like a protective
tariff. OF course there is a duty on
canned corn, but this duty has had
absolutely no effect on the industry.
being simply one of those bogus du-
ties put into the tariff to hoodwink
farmers.
Thirty years ago" says leading
corn packer, corn was cut from the
cob by hand at the rate of bushel
an hour, placed into the handmade
cans, the labor cost of which was
$125 per dozen, cooked six hours
and sold for $3.50 per dozen. Now
machine with the aid of one hand
will cut l25 bushels an hour. An
other machine will fill the can at an
equal gait, the labor cost in cans will
not exceed three cents per dozen,
while improved cookers have run the
time for processing down to a single
hour and the corn is sold at profit
of 81 per dozen. The revolution has
ers, doing all the work by hand, to
fewer but better laborers, who are in
telligent enough to use machinery
while increased facilities, the emana-
tions from the brain of a Norton,
Sprague, Chisholm and host of
other tireless inventors, have reduced
the creative cost over so per cent. y
The same thing has of course ia
ken place in many protected indus.
tries, notably in steel rails. The
protectionists never weary of telling
us that protection has brought down
the price Of rails from $l66 ton t.
$50, but every man of intelligence
knows that the reduction was caused
by the great invention of Sir Henry
3esseiner, an unprotected English
man. This reduction, too, has gone
to u much lower point in England
than in the United States, the price
in England being now from $2l.9(
to $22. 80 per ton. against the trust
price Of $50 to S3l here.
When protection claims the fruits
of invention it is like the jackdaw
stealing the canary's feathers. But
protection Is quite accustomed TO ap
propriating what belongs 10 others

TOPEKA, KAN, Aug. IA letter
from Harrison Kelley, congress
man from this district, in which he
renounces the Republican party and
declares that in the future he will be
found fighting with PETER, Poke and

Mr.. Kelly says he has turned to the
new party, the peoples party, as the
best medium through which to ac-
complish thefeforms demanded by
the people. 4 Favoring their measures
and believing their enactment would

jected them, he thinks the logical
thing to do is to support the party

THE STATE FAIR.
Attractions to be Offered win Excel
All Previous Efforts.

The attention of our readers is
called to the advertisement of the
West Virginia Exposition and State
Fair, which is contained in this is
sue. This institution has already
proven of great benefit to this sec
ton: has been instrumental in bring
ing in our midst superior class Of
live stock, and advancing the inter
ests of our farmers and public gen
elally, and creating the opportunity
to witness the results of the genius
and progress of our inventive peo-
pie.
The exhibits this year will by far
exceed any previous ones, great in
terest being manifested by breeders
of live stock in all parts of the
country.
A special effort will be made in the
exposition department to arrange for
an interesting and entertaing exhib-
it, and something fine can be expect
ed The machinery and implement
department will be magnificent in
deed, and as this is the age of prog
ress nothing stands still, and with
this in view the management has
fully kept pace with the general
move, and has spared no expense to
make her 1891 fair even superior to
her past splendid efforts. The at
traction this year will by far excel
those of former years; there will be
fourteen great trotting, pacing and
running races The increased pre-
miums offered will be certain to
bring forward large collection of
the most celebrated flyers of the
United States and Canada
On Tuesday, September s, at P
NJ, the second day of the fair, the
world renowned Jewell Bros, who
have been engaged at great expense,
will make grand balloon ascension
and parachute jump. They have
never made failure and will make
the leap when at distance of about
mile from the earth.
The management have certainly
displayed great enterprise and ener
gy they having met with another
severe loss by the past great flood of
February 10, 1891, the damage sus
tanned being somewhat over $1,000
but Notwithstanding this blow, the
grounds and buildings have again
been placed in splendid condition.
The premiums have been increas-
ed and will unquestionably bring
forth the finest exhibition of horses,
cattle, sheep, swine, poultry, etc.
The State Fair is certainly deserv-
ing of the most liberal patronage of
our generous hearted public, and no
doubt but what there will be large
concourse Of people in attendance.
All railroads entering Wheeling
have arranged to make special low
rates fer those who desire to attend
from a distance.

An Advertising Speculation.

Among the many incidents char
acteristic of human nature is one
which recently came under the OBJ
servation of a young man connected
with prominent publishing house,
one of the oldest in the country, and
which has for three generations been
conducted by the descendants of the
original founder. With other pub
locations there was issued neat
little treatise on household econo-
my, showing how, on small income,
it was possible to live comfortably.
The author was woman, and gave
her book the title, Glow She Did It,"
The book had a fairly good sale. but
presently there appeared to be a
sudden and unaccourtable demand
for the volume, and every fortnight

WRECK NEAR FAIRMONT.
Two Freight Trains Smashed In Col.
lisiOn-A Well Dressed Man, Steal
ing a Ride, Killed-Brake-
man Lyon Scalded.

FAIRMoNT, w. VA, Aug. ga
most disastrous collision between
freight trains SO and 90 on the Bal
timore d Ohio occurred this morn
ing about A o'clock, by which thir-
teen cars were badly demolished and
two of the largest freight engines on
the road were smashed up.
The freight going east was in
charge of Engineer Jas. Crogan and
Conductor Chas. Nuzum, and the
west bound train was in charge of
Engineer John Lemon and Conduc-
tor Asa Collins, all old experienced
employees. The cause of the coils
ion was an oversight in reading the
signals of passenger train No. 8, east
bound. When the train arrived
here, the show train from Morgan
town was here ready to proceed east
and was to run as the second section
of No. s. AS the show train followed
after the passenger train it was
thought to be the freight they were
waiting for and they pulled out and
met about three miles east of here.
Both engineers were hurt but were
able to 20 home. Brakeman G. A,
Lyon, who lives at Newburg, is so
seriously scalded and bruised that
he cannot be moved. An unknown
man stealing his way was caught
and instantly killed, his head being
almost torn off He was well dress
ed and had a good suit of clothes in
a package. but there was nothing
about him by which he could be
identified unless'a conductors draw
back Issued on the west side of the
river will serve as clue. He was
buried here to-day. All passenger
trains have been sent over the Mon
ongahela River railroad. The track
was opened about four p. M, but II
will require four or five days to clear
up the wreck,

AN ARKANSAW TRAVELLER
Goes all the Way to New York to Buy a
Brick.

ALTOONA, PENN, August John
Jackson, of Camden, Ark, stopped
over in this city last night On his
farm in Arkansas he had visitor
who told him to go to New York.
take $3.50 with him and get it ex-
changed for $4,000 jackson had
never read newspaper, and he took
up the offer. On arriving in New
York he was met at the depot by
two well dressed gentlemen, to whom
he had letter of introduction. They
conducted him to lonely room and
there counted out $4,000 in crisp
new bills. 1t was wrapped up, and
Jackson paid over his $3.50 for the
treasure. His attention was then
directed to another part of the room
and the package was switched ON
him. He was then placed on train
and hustled out of town.
Inspector Byrnes had in some way
heard of the affair, and wired the
conductor of the train to hold Jack
son. The conductor hunted him up
and found him tenaciously clinging
to the treasure. Up to this time he
supposed he had the money.
What have you in that box, Mr..
Jackson?' asked Conductor Win
CERT, blandly. He started, turned
red and replied:
Money"
Lets go into the dining car and
examine it," suggested the conduc-
tor.
This was done, and when Irvine
and external coverings were removed
musty brick was exposed to view.
Not a dollar was to be seen. Jack
son realized he had been sold, and
he was frightened, but was induced
to go back to New York for his $3.50

The Beauty Standard.
The standard of female lovelin,

The standard of female loneliness
varies greatly in different countries
and with individual tastes. Some
prefer the plump and buxom type;
some admire the slender and sylph-
like, and some the tall and queenly
maiden. But among all people of
the Caucasian race, one point OF
beauty is always admired--a pure,
clear and spotless complexion
whether the female be of the blonde,
brunette. or hazel-eyed type. This
first great requisite of loneliness can
be assured only by pure state OF
the blood, active liver, good appe-
ti'e and digestion, all of which
are secured by the use of DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t is guaranteed to accomplish all
that is claimed for IL, or money re,
funded. If you would have u clear,
lovely complexion, free from crup
tions, moth patches, spots and blem-
ishes, use the Golden Medical Dis
covery."

THE TILDEN WILL CASE.
Rumors of a Compromise Between the
Heirs and New York City.

New YORK, Aug. S.-Rumors are
afloat that the dispute over the will
of Samuel j. Tilden has been AMIGA
bly, settled. According to the rumor
so per cent of the estate is to go to
the heirs, and the other so per cent
to the city. Since the death of Mr..
Tilden the estate has increased
largely in value, because it consist
ed principally of real estate, and it
is now worth about $10,000.000. If
the heirs were paid out of this ac-
cording to the terms of the will as
interpreted by the executors, the
sum of $S,000,000 would be devoted
to the building of a free public IL
brary.
Samuel j. Tilden died in August,
1886, and left surviving him his sis
ter, Mrs. Mary B. Pelton, George H.
Tilden and Samuel J. Tilden, Jr.,
two nephews and four nieces. Mr..
Tilden's will was executed in 1884,
and admitted to probate in West
chester county two years later. John
Hgelow, Andrew H. Green and Geo.
w. Smith qualified as executors.
Mr.. Tilden willed certain Gums to
the heirs, and left the residuary of
the estate in trust for a public Ii
brary, to be erected in this city or
some other public use to be designa-
ted by the trustees The will was
contested by the heirs, and the gen.
eral term of the first department
unanimously decided that the trust
provisions whereby the city was en-
titled to a residuary interest in the
estate were absolutely void on the
ground that the trustees have not
the power to designate the use to
which the money left to the city
shall be put The case was appealed
from this decision by the executors
and argued last June before the
court of appeals in session at Sara
toga, but the decision will not be
handed down before October. If the
city wins it will probably be entitled
to about $S,000,000, and the ques-
ton has been agitated by lawyers
whether it is better for the city to
accept half this sum or lose it all.
A statement is also made that the
suggestion of the compromise came
from the executors. In the majority
of cases the court of appeals upholds
the decision of the general term, and
in face of this belief it is hardly
likely that the contesting heirs
would be inclined to make overtures.
Moreover the judges who constitute
the court of appeals can hardly be
expected to be more partial to the
welfare of the city of New York than
those of the general term, whose in
terests are more closely identified
with it,

President +. NJ. Turner, of the
State University, arrived in the city
yesterday, and was seen last evening
by Register reporter. Asked as to
the condition of the University, and
its needs and prospects, President
Turner said:
The prospects for next year ap-
pear to be very good, judging from
the numerous letters received from
various sections making inquiries
and requesting catalogues. OF course
we cannot tell how many new stu
dents will come until the term begins.
The Executive Committee met
about week ago and appointed
professor of Agriculture and Man
ual and Mechanical training. The
professor of Agriculture, Mr.. t. c.
Atkeson of Putnam County, will be-
gin his instruction in that subject at
the opening of the year in September.
The Mechanical department will not
be in operation for sometime; because
we have no building for that depart
ment. The new professor Mr.. Z. l..
Emory, who is graduate of Worces
tor, Mass. Polytechnic Institute,
and a man of considerable expert
ence in that department, will be in
Morgantown next week, to arrange
the details for the new building
which will be erected as soon as pos
sible. 1t is impossible to say just
when the department will be open
for instruction. 1t is desirable to
push the work as rapidly as possible.
1--WE expect the manual training
and mechanical department to he
popular, and attract large number
Of young men who have liking and
aptitude for this kind of work. There
is need of educated mechanics and
mechanical and electrical engineers,
just as in all other lines of effort,
and the men who are to have the
best places in those departments in
the future will be those who have
had thorough training in the scien-
ces which underlie these practical
arts"
