The ALARMING NEWS NOT CONFIRMED
TO the Effect That the American Legation Is

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. 21-Every avail
able source of information in regard to Chilian
affairs was tapped this morning with unsatis-
factory results. The situation IS exasperating,
and in the absence of official denial or con-
frmation of alarming reports no definite
statement as 20 the true condition Of affairs
can be made. Acting-Secretary Soley said he
knew nothing about the alleged cablegram
stating that the American legation in Chilli
was menaced. Commodore Ramsey. chief Of

rant in the matter Both officials thought
the State Department might throw some lgh'

The London Times prints alengthy
article in which it processes to give the

ptete loss OF influence. Bismarck had
grown go naughty that hewould tolerate
no official associates; he must be master
OF nothing.
When the young Emperor came TO the
throne the old Chancellor expected to
dominate him. The illusion was quick
" dispelled. On Bismarek's suggestion
that he wauld resign, the Emperor sent
an aide to bring the resignation, and the
aide had to go four times before the res
ipnation was forthcoming. Meanwhile
Bismarck appealed to Empress Freder-
lex, mother Of the young Emperor. The
mother replied that as Bismarck had
alienated the CON from his father and
mother, she was powsrless to help him.
This Is q decidediy interesting recital.

MIR. Dunning for Mayor.

The Republicans Of Wheeling present
for Mayor a man whose standing in the
community is equal to that Of the best.
Mr.. Dunning is a tried and proved pub
lie servant.l
AS Chief of the Fire Department he
discharged his duty faithfully and etIec-
lively. That important branch Of the
municipal service was never in better
condition than when he was in charge
Of it. Indeed it has been said by men
politically opposed to Mr.. Dunniug that
he was the best Chief the Fire Depart
ment ever had.
Mr.. Dunning is SO well known that it
is unnecessary to make pledges for him.
His character is an ample pledge Of an
honest and fearless discharge Of duty.

Republicans OF the first Senatorial
District were largely at home on satur'
day. At all events they did not get to
the polls to try to elect one Of their own
party to the State Senate. The explana'
ton OF their apathy is to be found in the
large Democratic majority at Charleston.
Republicans thought that one more or
less would make no difference, and they
did not bother themselves about the
election. This was not fair to their nom
inee or to their party, but this is the
way it was.

The Philadelphia Pres continues its
campaign against the reelection of Sem
ator Cameron. It's columns run over
with communications from sympathetic
Republicans who, however, for the most
part lack the nerve to sign their names
for publication. There is a hearty re-
Spouse from the Republican State press.
The burden OF the complaint is that
Senator Cameron does nothing and does
not represent the State; that he has had
a long trial and been found wanting;
that Pennsylvania can find worthy
man to take his place aud the Legislature
ought to select such man.
All this is true enough, but the CAM
psisn begins late. The indications are
that Mr.. Cameron has the Legislature
and will be reelected, no matter how
loud or strong the protest.

The Road Question.
70 he Editor Of ne Mteufgnoer.

SIR:-We are aware that public indif.
ference is astubborn beast to domesticate,
and that the work Of the public educator
is OF SLOW growth. While We know that
the public highways OF the future will
be permanent structures, we are not
oblivious to the fact that II will require
patience, effort and time TO secure them.
would not encourage hasty action, but
would adopt a course which would aim
10 make q sure and steady advance to
the desired end. Under the present
mismanagement there is q waste sufi-
cient, under u wise system OF economy,
to carry forward q permanent work on
one main road with rate OF speed that
would satisfy the public that a solution
Of the problem OF good roads is only q
matter of common business sense and
time.
But while the major effort should be
directed to this permanent work, minor
effort must be addressed TO the old time
and present patchwork. There are
many prOng ways to do most kinds Of
work, but there is but one beSt way.
This best way should embrace all the
factors available under the circumstances
TO secure the best results, as the mate
rial and it's condition, the time and man
ner OF using ii, etc. The average con-
tractor under the present system will
jeer ut this, and tell you his business be-
gins and ends with piling up dirt and
opening bitches, and the surveyor, who
often knows even less OF the principles,
Tudiments and details Of the work, &C.
quiesCes because he cannot correct the
statement. Theintelligent farmer knows
that cultiyating his crops in the mud Is
ruinous TO his soil, but fails 10 see the
application OF thisiact and the principle
upon which it rests when he quits the
field 70 satisfy his contract on the road.
To come to the point, the proper time
to put up q mud road ia early In the
spring while the earth is very soft and
travel Is encouraged by the prevalence
Of thirsty winds. A road put in in this
condition and well packed down before
It becomes dried will be more servicable
than one Of like nsterial put up under
any other conditions.
The width Of tho road.bed should not
be less than fourteen feet, and drainage
should be secured by raising it ten or
twelve inches in the center, and deep
bitches, resulting from the action Of &C.
water on steep grounds,
should be carefully guarded against.
This end is best secured by turning the
water of at short intervals and provid-
ing it q broad bottom 70 pass over, as
shallow water has but little force. The
Of silt resulting from IN.
avoidabls washing should be utilized in
making fills in the low grounds on
which they settle. Surface soil Ia worth
double for road building, and where
practicable should be reserved for a sur.
lace covering. CONTRACTOR.

Mr.. ]. S. Clarkson believes the Federal
election law will pass because it is right
apd because the Republican party can
not afford to defeat it. Mr.. Clarkson has
more thau ordinary opportunities to
know what is going on at Washington.
and he may be right. Judging by all
the lights We have, the 1NTELIlaRSeER
thinks Mr.. Garrison is wrong.
The bill should pass, for it is a righte-
ous measure. 1t contemplates no wrong
IN ANYBODY. Its aim is to give to every
voter at national election the national
guarantee Of free ballot and fair
count. II seeks to protect the honest
voter in West Virginia against dishonest
election practices everywhere. 1t aims
10 make real that which has been sham'
These reasons should be sufficient to Sc
cure the passage of the bill.
The Republican Senators who have
taken position against the MEASURE I'M
detstood the arguments in its favor
They had other reasons for going the
other way, and they went. Nor have
they been impressed by the argument
that the Republican part, cannot AFFORD
the defeat OF the bill.
Those who arein opposition seem en-
tirely willing that the Republican party
shall try to get along in the face of I
broken promise to secure fair ballot al
national elections. Perhaps Mr.. CLARK
son intends his words for exhortatior
rather than for prophecy.

Tho Moral TondeucS of Female Teachers.
To he Editor Of he IateligeHe:r.
sIR:-I do not desire to elicit con-
troversy with that class who monopolize
pretty much all the intelligence and
learning OF the current age / refer to
the school teachers), but do wish to
express my conviction that the tenden-
CIV of our present social system is to
emasculate the present rising generation.
Woman is woman, and she imparts
nothing il she does not impart feminine
instincts. She is the teacher OF to-day's
youth, and the impress Of her feminine
characteristics will be fixed upon the
next generation ~. Not exactly. Her
impress is not positive one, and cannot
be attested by tangible marx. The age
OF youth requires the exercise Of con.
styaining power which at once shall de-
termine what shall and what shall not
be stamped upon the mind and charae'
ter. Woman's sphere of action 10
opened at q later date, when the proof
OF neglect or failure Of the positive ele-
ment is manifested, and her re.
straining influence Ia called in
FeUulSllQQs no teaIuSE 8ue
neither entorces discipline nor
restraints natural impulses, that is with
ygor which will insure positive results.
With her moral suasion is the rod OF
correction in which reliance is placed
when she deems the application OF a
brake required 10 impede the activity OF
wild and rude nature. Her weakness
consists in accepting the child as her
equal-or putting herself down on
level with the child, which you please
aud then yielding her individuality to
its whius and conceits. In this passive
capacity she follows her charge and EN-.
braces opportunities 10 administer such
bits OF instruction as their transient &C.
cidental environments prepare them to
accept. CorBtrsint in the favor OF fixed
discipline is almost out OF the question,
while the childish nature is encouraged
by feeding its vanity on her interest in
its psrtness.
The resultof ell this is to impart and
establish a superficial gloss which the
same false system makes it 8 misde-
meRnor to question as q thorough and
radical training, according natural and
economic laws. Superficial in training
their students are liable to be superficial
in character, and the prediction is ven-
tured that the prison statistics OF the
future will justify it. c.w.s.
