A MEDICATION.

Some two years ago council or ew up
an electric light bill, which the Legs
lature refused TO pass. The people OF
Wheeling had added their endorsement
n the measure In mass meeting and
our members OF tho Legislature were
requested, and did, all in their power
TO have the measure passed.
But the paid and otherwise interested
LOBBYISTS against the measure were TOO
shrewd. persistent and strong and had
too much money for them. All sorts OF
falsehOods and ISLANDERS were set atoat
regarding those who favored the bill.
The mass meeting that indOrSed it was
renresented as having been made up or
the .riff-raff OF Wheeling;' Council
itself it was said, did not represent the
Deople's views; the broad statement
was made that the people did not want
the electric light, and that the whole
thing was gotten up by one or two
narties out of spite, or for
revenge against the Electric Light 20.
Our Representatives, all OF them true
and tried men, whose sole object was to
serve their constituents, were asSailed
in a similar manner. SANDER and false
hood carried the day and the legislation
that the people OF Wheeling wanted was
defeated.
And now comes the vindication of our
then Representatives, in the election of
last Saturday, when fOur-hfthS of the
voters Of the city endorsed measure
providing for the lighting OF the city
bv electricity, at the polls, showing
that II was not the ''ritT-raff," but the
citizens of Wheeling who endorsed the
measure which the Legislature was
tricked into defeating, that they did
want the electric light, and that our
Representatives were doing the bidding,
not of a few Splteful individuals, but OF
practically their whole constituency.
The REGISTER deems it timely to
strsighten out the matter and say these
few words to the Legislature.

Pension-The Trial Now On.
Special TELEGRAM TO the Register.
PARXERsBURG, w. VA, June 90
The trial of John j. Salisbury, j. B.
Townsend, Samuel Russell and James
Bailey, all of Pleasant county, for con-
Spiracy in fraudulently conspiring by
forged atfidavits to procure 4 pension
for Jno. j. Salisbury, is now going on
in the u. S. Court. The allegations in
the counts Of the Indictment are that
James Bailey bribed, forced CT
persuaded Samuel Russell to
make affidavit that he was pres
ent and saw Salisbury fall
in fight with Indians in the Indian
Territory, in 1872, and that Saulsbury's
horse fell upon HIM, iniuring him and
creating rupture, from which he was
then suffering. Russell, by his own con-
fession, aside from the evidence of the
war record, was not in the army at all
and never was in the Indian Territory.
Bailey, it is alleged, had made con
tract arrangement with Salisbury to
procure the pension, for which
he was to receive large por-
ton. J. b. Townsend was a civil
officer, a notary public, before whom the
aiiidayits were alleged to have been
sworn to, with, as alleged, Townsend's
cognizance and participation in the al
legged fraudulent applications. The case
is very interesting from the fact that
all are well-known in Peasants county
and several Of them men of means and
