wHEELING. AUGUST IL. 1901.
WhcelIne's City Government.

There is not self-respecting citizen
of Wheeling who does not feel himself
Inundated by the notorious habits Of
the mayor and the chief Of police. Yet
both of these officers have more than
once been before the people and. the
people at the polls approved their con-
duct. No other Interpretation is pos
sible.
1t is true that they were industrious
enough to get their party's nomination
and that an appeal was made to all
Democrats to support them because
they, stood as the choice of the Demo-
cratic party. This gave them tremen-
dous Leverage on the Offices they were
after, but when the people went to the
polls they should have thought more OF
their city than Of any partisan nolnina-
ton.
1t is as easy as it is true to say that
the Democratic party is responsible,
since it is in the majority and placed
these men before the public with the
party brand blown in the bottle, so to
speak; but there should have been
enough right thinking men in the DEM
ocratic party to save their party the
disgrace of nominations SO VIGOROUSLY
unworthy.
The long and the short Of the matter
is that Wheeling will not have the city
government it should have until the
well disposed men of all parties come
together without regard to party ind
choose men for their intelligence and
character. If this cannot be we shall
have to put up with the kind Of thing
that is going on, has been going on and
is likely to 90 on hereafter.

Is 1t S. s. ElkIns Z?

There has been another approach toa
sensation at Cape May Point. Work
men engaged with intellectual picks
and shovels have exhumed something
which they think is Mr.. S. B. Elkins.
1t is the well.formed body Of a man of
commanding appearance and has
brains. 1t was known to bein CONSUL
tationwith the President, although it
was not Of record on any OF the hotel
registers.
The object of its visit to Cape May
Point is supposed to be in some way
connected with the next Presidential
nomination. The find has given great
delight to the finders, who jump ut the
conclusion that some sort OF compro-
mise is on foot.
1t may be that the President is to be
permitted to serve out his term and
that the next Republican convention is
to be allowed to make its own choice Of
a candidate to succeed him. A COM
promise on this basis should please
everybody in interest. At least it would
be fair and polite.

nnenest Hole IN tho World.

The Cincinnati Enquirer evidently
does not know what is going on near
Wheeling, which gives all the more
force to its suggestion that we ought to
try to discover what there is below US
to depth of two or three miles:
Professor Gilbert. Of the United States Gcolos
icil Survey. Is credited with expressing The be.
lief that down near the center oil the earth there
arc vast quantities OF gold.
Under modern methods Il would cost compar-
0tively little u sink a shaft two or three miles
toward the center Of the Garth, aud many most
interesting questions Of science might thereby
be solved. Geology would thereby be greatly
assisted. We should learn whether, as abe
school books now state, the temperature does
steadily increase as We go down. and whether It
mass Bright light might he thrown upon the
age Of man. and also upon the future prospects
oil our little human rare.
We ought really TO dig a deep hole.
The Wheeling hole is well on to q
mile deep, drilled for q gas or oil well
and for scientific purposes turned over
to the United States Geological Survey,
which has made interesting tests as to
temperature. With good a start, and
in view OF the scientific results, it would
bewell worth the Governments while
to carry the hole down as far as the
drilling tool can be made to operate.
Every additional foot adds, OF course, to
the weight of the cable, and it remains
to be seen how long steel cable can be
used before it will break under the
strain of its own weight and the tool
attached.
From the interestthat has been taken
by scientists in this well and the gen
eral desire to know as much as can be
known of what lies below, it is reasona-
BILE to suppose that on a proper prcsen-
tation OF the case Congress would ap-
propriate the necessary money. The
Government will never have better
chance than this, for it is not asked to
pay anything for what has been done.

Wolf Hunt in Arlennsas,

LITTLE Rock, Aug. 1l.-A special
from Louoke, Ark, Gays that the wolf
hunt or drive occurred yesterday. Al
though the attendance was not as large
as anticipated, small army Of cavaly
drove west from the eastern part Of
Prairie Square, sweeping over tract OF
country several miles square.
A number OF wolves were killed. The
animals were of the gray variety,weigh-
ing seventy pounds and upward.
Another hunt will probably bcinaug-
urated, as the wolves are very numer-
GUS, and the present drive made little
impression in decreasing their number.
