The Wilson Investigation into the
condition and prospects of the treas
ury will be entrusted to a sub-com-
mittee consisting of chairman Spring
er and four members to be appointed
by him. The scope of the inquiry
will be pretty broad, having for its
object to develop the facts aud show
who is responsible for them. Mr..
Wilson proposes to discoyer,if posi-
BILE, the exact condition of the treas
ury and to ascertain just the methods
which have been in vogue during
this last administra ton. The COM
mlttee on ways and means of the
next House will begin framing a
tariff bill to so re wise the tariff as
not only TO reduce the duties mate
rally, but, perhaps, to increase the
revenues, and he hopes that this in
vestigation will give them such in
formation as will indicate Just what
they have to provide for. Il

Bcfkeley aud Morgan counties gave a large
majority against Mr.. Walker, not for personal
reasons but to show their conten pt for fine
miserable gerrymander that permits Jefferson
to elect delegate for the people of Berkeley
and Morgan. -Adrttnsburg Independent.
Well, now, let's see about this ex-
preston of contempt. In Berkeley
county Mr.. Cleveland received 2l33
votes, and Mr.. Walker 2139-or sir
more than the national Democratic
ticket. In Morgan county Mr..
Cleveland was given 582 votes and
Mr.. Walker 58O-or just two less
than Cleveland. Berkeley and Nor
gan, therefore, "show their contempt
for the miserable gcrrymander" by
giving Mr.. Walker a majority of
four in excess of Mr.. Cleveland. A
pretty good expression that, and
doubtless one which the editor of the
Independent, as the Republican can
didate for Congress, would have rel
1shed very well for himself, as the
returns show that he ran just t,genty
Votes behind Mr.. Harrison in his dis
trict. Figures are dangerous things,

MATTERS OF FACT.

1t has been shown that in the down
fall Of various short-term associations
which existed here for brief space of
time within the last eighteen months
sums aggregating s7s9, 800 have been
locked up. This money belongs to no
fewer than 1850 persons-an aver
age Of about 81 each. The story Of
human credulity and gullibility in e.
nancial matters is as old as ciyiliza-
ton, and the experience Of the organ
izers Of these short-term swindles indi-
Gates that it may still be told again
and again. Men, we are told, are but
children Of larger growth; and it is
easy to persuade them that at the end
of every rainbow there is pot Of gold.

sHREwD AND SUCCESSFUL.

A shrewd and successful old mer-
chant when asked at what time in the
year he considered most advisable to
begin advertising, replied that he
didn't know, as he never left off.
There is good deal Of sound sense in
this. The merchant, business man or
company, who advertises all the time is
bound to see the results, in the long
run. But there must be beginning
for the advertiser, and we would sug-
gest that just now is as good time as
could possible be selected.

The son dropped into the same
method.
One Saturday five years ago he wa.
pushed for money to pay his factory
hands. He presented his bill at Tiff.
fany's and was impressed with the
ease with which he obtained the mon.
ey. He then conceived the idea Of
forging the names of Fl. E. Ward. tn,
head Of the department with which be
did business, and Of G. 7. Cook. the
member Of the firm who counter
checked the bills. His first venture
was successful, and he has since con.
tinued to present almost every week a
forged bill, all Of which have been
paid without question.
