The Dead and tho Living.

To-day brings once more tho. occasion
when the nation gathers in the church
yards to lay upon the graves of its dead
the fading cmblems OF undying graft
tude and imperishable glory.
Nearly q third OF a century has passed
since the first of these sons OF the re-
public fell in the conflict which, it seems,
had to come before the country could
start or its career as a United nation.
1t was q frightful price to pay, the loss
OF the brave men who gave up their
lives in the two great opposing armies,
the tears of the widows and orphans OF
the blue and the gray; but tho price
has been paid and, We OF the present
generation are the immediate bone
ficiaries.
We join with tho survivors in their
solemn labor of love; We feel tho blood

this or that eminent Republican could

do we'll to await the result of the CON

Tho Street Railway.

The people Of Wheeling arc rejoiced
to know that the street railway has
passed into other hands. It does not
matter much who they arc or what
they arc who have acquired tho proper
ty SO long as they will improve the ser
vice.
On this point there is a degree OF
hopefulness resting IN q reasonable
presumption. To run the road as it
has it has been run wonld be to run it
further into debt; and this is MOTTO be
thought the aim of the men who bought
the property with its large incumbrance
and immediate need Of a large outlay
for betterment.
To make tho system profitable it must
be made over almost from the bottom
UP. New tracks are needed in some
places, new cars over the whole line. a
competent directing mind is needed to
lift Wheeling's system OF electric rail-
way out Of the relative position it occu-
pies, that Of being about tho least sat
isiactory in the country.
1t is to be- hoped that with the i'm
provements in contemplation it will be
possible to know within half an hour
when a car is likely to como along and
within an hour when it may land a
8passenger at his destination.
Wheeling is shaped for a profitable
set car business, narrow-waisted and
ong densely populated throughout it's
.aehgth. Tho people have money. and
ewill ride if given the chance. The more
they are catered to in this respect the
more they will got into the habit of
riding.
II the new owners will cultivate the
fold they will soon discover that three
times as many cars as the company
now owns will be required to accommo-
date the traffic. The INr~ELLrdENcER
welcomes them to the ripe harvest.

Referring to tho Democratic criticisms
OF tho Mckinley act Mr.. Watson sagely
remarks that tho Democratic party

months, and has not dared to consider

cold fact, yet Democrats in the house
could not listen to II without becoming
hot in tho collar.

dom will right those wrongs. They

ing this. What that reason is the
country is at liberty to imagine.
The fact remains that they have OF.
fered no measure to take tho place Of
the Mckinley net. 1t may be that they
doubt tho ability Of their party to ma.
ture a measure that will give SO great
satisfaction to the country.
In this view their apology will DO nc.

call in the ugly things. they have been
saying about the Mckinley act and tho
party that Ia responsible for 1t. That
would be manly and polite.

Mr.. George NJ. Jacques, secretary OF
the New York, furniture, board of trade,
was registered ut the Mcclure House
yesterday. In conversation with an

Said Mr.. Jacques: "some time ago I
was called on by the National Tariff
League to state how the furniture bust

affected by the Mckinley tariff. 1
made an investigation and replied that
the furniture trade was not directly

Mr.. Jaques stated further hat in
consequence OF the high tariff placed on
plush by the Mckinley bill, the English
manufacturers had been shut out OF the

LOVE IN GOOD EARNEST.

A Leominster woman thought she
would devote a leisure hour few
days ago in examining the contents
of an old bureau i'll the attic. 1t was
filled with old papers, deeds, letters,
bills, receipts, etc, that the lady's an
cestors had filed many years ago.
Among other queer documents, the
following letter was discovered,
written in quite good but odd hand
writing, and so time worn was the
paper it was quite impossible to deci-
pher some oft. The letter was dated
out:
Dear, Good John:-W shall have
to put off our marriage, mother is
making such an awful fuss about it.
l don't want to a bit, now we are
published, but l have to. She says
you amt old enough and 1 don't
know anything, and there is so much
expense about it.
Now, John just think of it. My
dress will be only nine shillings( 81. 5O)
and my new calfskin shoes would do.
She says you shan't marry me until
you can keep two COWS Of your own.
Father is willing and says he will
give us the sheep, but mother says he
shan't, and you know she always car
ries the day. Darn it, 1 wish she
could never have got married herself.
Now, John, let us stick to each
other. l shall be 16 in about 10
months more. Now you will hold on,
won't you, John? Come Sunday
night, with the gray horse and shay,
and we will ride out and talk it over.
Good night. MARY.
