TO rHE MAYOR AND COUNCIL.

TO THIS MAYOR AND COUNCIL.
The meeting OF the committees APP
pointed to take charge OF the proposed
celebration of the opening of the Main
street bridge and the electric light
plant, did not materialize This was due
more 20 the Mayors oversight in ne
glecting to systematic his action in ap-
pointing the ward committees, and to
see the men he proposed to appoint
and have an understanding whether or
not they had the time and the inclina-
ton TO become active in the movement.
His Honor aimed to do the proper
thing, but was mistaken in his methods.
This, however, is easily remedied.
Council meets tonight. The Mayor,
who presideS over the First Branch,
should submit the matter to Council,
which we believe will do all in its power
to promote the proposed celebration.
Al that would be necessary for
II TO do, however, would be to
appoint joint committee Of each
branch composed of men Interested in
the matter-and nearly all are-to get
the thing in shape. 1t will not neceS-
state a dollar Of expense TO the city.
Sufficient and more than sufficient
funds can be raised by private sub
scription among business men and
others7 who are vitality interested lin
advertising Wheeling's advantages
abroad, TO defray all expenses, for
there need be nothing costly about it
TO make it a splendid success.
The main point is to get the matter
started, and those who assembled at
the Chamber Of Commerce yesterday
resolved that the attention Of Council
should be called TO the matter at to-
nights meeting.
All that is needed is the initial move
in the practical direction and the rest
will follow naturally and in order.
The Mayor has shown cOmmenGable
interest in the matter and he should
not neglect 90 back up his former ac-
tion by calling Council 10 his aid.

THE PURE FOOD BILL
Occupies the Time of the Senate---Lard
vs.. Cotton Seed Oil.

vs.. Cotton Seed Oil.
WASHINGTON. D. c., March en- the
+ Senate among the bills introduced and
referred was one by Mr.. Sawyer, au-
thorizing the establishment OF postal
telegraph service. 1t authorizes the
Postmaster General upon the advice
and approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury and Attorney GeneraD TO con-
tract with any person, company or cor
poration owning or operating telegraph
/ lines for the transmission OF correspond
ence, press dispatches and postal
money orders at such rates as may be
agreed upon by the contracting parties
not TO exceed the rates now charged for
| similar messages.
The Pure Food bill was then taken
up, and Mr.. Berry addressed the SEN
| ate.
lie ascribed the motive OF the bill TO
I the Syndlcates which controlled the
/ lard industry Of the country, and which
sought TO put down the cOttOnSeed oil
/ industry which completes with them
and brought TO the Southern States
| SIS, 600, 600 year. 1t was not because
/ those SyndcatcS cared whether the
| food used by the people was pure or
impure, but because they found that
they could not charge the price they
had been charging and compete with
the cottouSeed oil industry.
/ Mr. Paddock challenged Mr.. Berry to
point out one single provision in the bill
that would favor one industry at the
expense OF any other industry.
Mr. Berry replied that If the parties
| interested IN the lard business could in
/ duce the Secretary Of Agriculture to
/ use the powers which the bill would
confer upon him 10 pronounce against
/ the perity Of cotton seed oil, that in
dustry would be crushed and driven out
Of the market, and the competition
against the lard industry would be de-
/ StrOyed.

SENATOR KENNA'S VIEWS.
He Does Not Favor the Postponement or
the Free Coinage Measure - Tariff Re
form Must Come First, Though.

the free coinage measure - Ahrih Nc-
form Must Come First, Though.
Srscial Telegram 70 ne Re0;f,s--
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 7.-Sena-
tor Kenna does not favor the policy OF
poStponing the discussion of the silver
question in Congress or seeking to
evade the issue. He said to-day rs was
Just as firm in his conviction as ever
that the free coinage OF silver would be
a good thing for the people, and the
more he heard the matter discussed the
stronger his conviction became. In
spite of the conspiracy OF the moneyed
classes against silver during the past
fifteen years and the persistent warfare
on ii, there had not been day in all
that time when the silver dollar
was below par. 1t had held its
place steadily even when put
at a disadvantage by hostile legislation
and would continue 10 do so II free
coinage were adopted. But while the
Senator still maintains this position on
the silver question, he also maintains
that the great question of the hour is
that Of taxation. This is more tnpor-
tant than the silver question aud should
take precedence of IL, because no mat
ter what sort of money the people have
their condition cannot improve as long
as they are permitted to be robbed OF it
by exorbitant and unnecessary taxa
ton. II would do the people no good
to have free coinage of silver
If the present tariff were
maintained. The first duty is TO reduce
tba tarifr. fhap tba fraa coinage of sill
yer would prove twO-fold benefit TO
the people. But if free coinage pre-
cedes tariff reform, no good will come
OF it.
The Senator said he would not allow
a Presidential candidates attitude on
the silver question TO stand in the way
of his voting for him if he were sound
on the tariff question. That is and must
remain, until it is settled, the dominant
issue for the Democratic party. On it
the Presidential battle must DE fought
and won.

New YORK, March 7.-Col. Storey,
Chief of Surveyor Lyons staff of In
spectors, made an important seizure OF
goods in the trunks of seven cabin pas
sengers on the French steamship La
Bourgogne, which arrived here yester-
day from Havre Three of the trunks
belong to dressmakerS in this city, and
four to people in Chicago. Their con-
tents are estimated to be worth thou
sands of dollars.
One Of the trunks, stored with laces,
silk dresses, tea gowns and other ar
ticleS Of woman's attire, belonged TO
Mrs. Allibone. She said she was a
stranger in this country, did not know
the customs laws and merely came to
this country on visit, not knowing
what parts Of it she should visit.
She was dumbfounded when the In
spector told her that she could not be
quite such a stranger here, as she kept
a fashionable dreSsmaking establish
lishment at 1851 Michigan avenue,
Chicago. Two of the other trunks are
said 10 belong TO women connected with
Kate Reilly, the dressmaker, whose
name came before the public in connec-
tion with a recent horsewhipping in
Chicago.

SPRINGFIELD, O., March "A per-

which answered TO the description OF
the man, sinking along the street
under the shadow Of d fence. He gave
the alarm and headed the party to
capture the felew. Mr. Curry soon
caught uD with the man, when the
latter turned, knocked him Down with
tremendous blow, and then rushed
toward the open country. The pur-
suers chased him for long distance,
and gradually gained on him. He sud-

rushed back toward town, and the

Suddenly the man rushed toward the
house occupied by one of the most
prominent and wealthy citizens Of the
place, Mr.. VIM. Bender, and, quickly
opening the door, rushed inside. The
purSuers feared the man would do some
thing desperate, so they rushed in after
him. What was their amazemcnt to
