Discussing the Railroad Claim.

The Committee on Finance OF the
Board of Commissioners met at the
Court House yesterday afternoon in
secret session, and discussed the de-
mand made upon the county by the
Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Rail-
road Company for the 100000 due un-
der the ordinance by the terms OF which
the county subscribed $500, 900 to the
CAPITAL stock of the Railroad Company.
Members were reticent about the
meeting, but it is known that nothing
definite was done, the meeting being
more for preliminary discussion OF the
matter.
The only, or at least the main, trouble
about the thing seems to be the absence
of anything like a guarantee that the
existing contract or agreement between
the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal
Railroad Company and the Wheeling
and Lake Erie Company, operating the
road TO Bowerston, will be permanent.
No one denies that there is an agree
ment at the present day, and it may De
in existence for long time, but, on the
other hand, there may be such rup-
ture OF existing arrangements within a
wear or so as to practically abrogate the
terms of the ordinance providing Ior
the operation of such a line into the
city Of Wheeling.
There will be another meeting OF the
committee within short time.

was in response to a communication
from Major Hudson, editor of the
Topeka Capitol, requesting him to deny
q statement published in a Peoples
party paper concerning his political
faith. Mr.. Kelly says he has turned to
the new party-the Peoples party-as
the best medium through which to &C
complish the reforms demanded by the
people. Favoring their measures and
believing their enactment would result
in great benefit TO the people, and both
the old parties having rejected them, he
thinks the logical thing to do is to sup
port the party that favors them.

physician only seemed 70 aggravate and In

to re in. We were utterly at loss 70 know what
to do, as the physician seemed to have exhaust
ed ali efforts 70 give relief But through the

With all credit and honor to President

he is not so strong as candidate before
the people Of the Empire State as is Sec
retary Blaine.-New York Recorder.

that downed him. Mckinley had nothing
whatever to do with il Of course not

must soon declare himself. III he declines
President Harrison will, of course, have

personal following. g.-Washington Post.

Gratis by that kind OF tactics kept Major
Mckinley out OF congress, with the result
that he is elected governor of Ohio, and

PRINT CLOTHS.

No system of revenue, however per-
feet, can obviate the trade depressions
which are due TO the lack of judgment
ON the part Of business men. About
eighteen months ago the production
of print cloths began to assume such
proportions as to endanger the prospects
of the trade. There were conferences
called of the Rhode Island and Fall
River manufacturers, and plans were
discussed, but all to no purpose. Fall
River corporations insisted on their
methods, and the result has been making
itself felt ever since. All attempts to
improve glutted market have been
like the proverbial process of pouring
water into the sieve. But certain man
ufacturers have insisted on trying it
nevertheless. The last condensed quar-
terly report of the Fall River mills tells
its own story. Twenty-four corporations
with capital of Sl3,930, 900 have paid
$2i0, 1000 in dividends, an average of l.72
per cent. Last quarter twenty-three
corporations with a capital of $l3, ,200,0 600
paid l.75 per cent, Twelve corporations
with capital of -, 5,9SS, 600 have paid no
dividends. Last quarter twelve corpo-
rations with capital of $j,5GS,0OO paid
no interest on their capital. OF the
forty-one corporations operating sixty
five mills in the city twenty-four are
paying dividends. Ii is noticeable fact
that those mills which do not pay divi-
dends are making almost exclusively
print cloths, while the mills which make
a variety of other classes of cloth are
doing the best business.

A POOR POLITICAL ARGUMENT.

"Mayor Smith is responsible for Vaughan,
Burton, Read and Batchelder He Is, with
them, part and parcel of the most extrava-
CANT and discredited administration that ever
disgraced this city and brought upon IL finan-
cial embarrassment" Telegram.
AS Mr.. Smith did not appoint any of
these gentlemen to office and as the peo-
pie who elected them have re-nominated
and will re-elect them, the above ap-
pears to be very poorly manufactured
political argument. The man whom
our contemporary thinks about the
proper one in city committee affairs was
not indorsed by the people at the recent
primaries. The Telegram must suffer in
its spasms of political purity when it re-
fleets how horribly wicked other people
are.
BY the way, what evidence Of dis
grace has the Fuller investigation
brought out? Even colored reports of
the proceedings fail to allege that the
city has lost dollar by overcharge for
work, by inferior work or by the un-
just act Of any member Of the city
property committee. Supt. Cottrell
did, indeed, get a macintosh from
someone, and learned later that it was
from the Smead Company. Awful
Yet it seems that the system of heating
and ventilation used was always author
lied by vote of the City Council, and
the City Council can be trusted.
AS for financial embarrassment, the
manner in which the city's bonds have
been sold, when bigger and wealthier
cities have had hard work to dispose of
theirs, indicates very solid condition
in that respect,
This constant attempt to injure the
citys credit for political ends is most
unjust and unwise.

MONETARY INDEPENDENCE.

w. Z. st. John at the meeting of the
Bankers Association at New Orleans
advocated the adoption of free coinage
by the United States for the reason that
this country is more independent of the
foreigner than any others nation in the
world.
IL Mr.. st. John meant by independ-
ence the variety of industry that makes
our manufactured products and our agri-
cultural products nearly balance he is
right. But industrial independence is
not our point of contact with the rest of
the world. Our commerce is our point Of
international contact. The value of that
lastyearwas approximately$l zoe, 900, 900,
and it can only be adjusted by an inter
national standard of value upon which
foreign countries as well as ourselves
can depend. 1t can not be said that we
are commercially the most independent
nation of the world-when our foreign
trade exceeds that of any other country
in the world. Mr.. st. John states one
truth and then proceeds 80 argue upon
another His premises are about as
near their apparent value as his silver
dollar would be after his free coinage
plan were adopted.

proportion at future date, besides the
fact that the material progress Of the
city with needed improvements will be
so greatly enhanced that that item alone
will be sufficient compensation.
Live cities, like live business men, put
out their money where it is needed and
reap the results. The payment of the
debt is widely distributed and cannot
prove embarrassing.
There can be no donbt but that If the
business had been done by Demo
cratic body il would have been praised
by the party's organs. At some time or
other any city must do these things, and
the fact that a certain man was Mayor
when the City Council voted to do them
is simply taken as an excuse to add to
the list of unseemly political
abuses. The people elected the
City Council and so far as appears there
is no complaint of the management of
public affairs except by certain organs
of party which wants power to do as it
pleases and a party which is not noted
for careful or wise financial ideas. 1t is
much easier to cry down man who is
doing something than to do the thing
ones self properly, and it is a favorite
policy of Office seekers. If such
a contingency should arise as
the election of Democratic mayor
would the people expect to see
public improvements stopped and the
city's affairs stopped? That is the logi-
cal result to be expected from the argu-
ments of unsuccessful politicians in this
city just now. The city must have its
parks and its other improvements and
it must pay reasonably for them.
