NO NEED TO KILL IT

Because Its Already Dead-Tho Senate
WIN Do Nothing Until tho House Acts.
WASHINGTON, D. O., August l5,-It is
now positively stated that until the
house has finally acted upon the prop
osition to repeal the purchasing clause
OF the Sherman act the senate will do
nothing In that direction. The steer
ing committee has ceased its efforts to
steer for the present, Whether the
Democrats in the senate can finally
come together on common ground is a
a matter about which there is much
conjecture.
"Why is there any necessity for such
action2 Why should We endeavor to
kill a thing that is already dead" said
a member OF the steering committee
yesterday, and he continued: Every
body knows the Sherman law cannot
be repealed Internationally"
The course Of debate in the senate in
dicates the conclusion reached by tho
committee, inasmuch as it starts out
with everything favorable for two
weeks desultory discussion consisting
OF set speeches on finance and the
rights OF members to their seats.

The prospects Of the coming West

amount of correspondence received by
the secretary. The speed entries close
on the 2Sth inst, and from all indica-
tions tho association will have q fine lot
OF speed and class horses, for which
they have just completed 100 first class
box stalls with shingle roofs, to accom-.
modate them. They also have repaired
and whitewashed 42S cattle, sneep and

allotted to the great far southern ex-

large number OF spaces in the machine

All arrangements have been made for

There can be no doubt that this will

A Clearing House for Wheeling.

n SIGuEliS 4AutASD AoE "hSOAHbs
1t has been recognized that the bust.
moss OF Wheeling iustifes and demands
clearing house for certain features OF
tho banking business. Tho effort has
been made and for one reason or an
other it was impossible to bring all the
banks into tho movement,
Business men realize that there is
nowmore reason than ever for this step
in advance. They SEQ what has
been accomplished for New York and
the business OF that city by clearing
house facilities. They sec what is being
done in other cities, notably in Pitts
burgh, where clearing house cortia-
Gates, based on solid values, have come
to the relief and IRE adding an accepta-
bic element to the volume OF currency.
The county of Allegheny aud the
city oi Pittsburgh have availed them
selves OF this now facility, and the peo.
pie they owe have something to 60
ahead with. With this medium OF OK
change to bank on many Of the sus-
pended industries Of Pittsburgh are
starting aud others are preparing to
start, having now somewhere to turn
for provision for their pay rolls.
Having in mind the general welfare
of Wheeling business men have caused
to be called a meeting OF the chamber
of commerce, to which are invited bust
ness men and bankers not members Of
the chamber. Tho hope is that this
meeting may result in the immediate
organization OF clearing house to be-
gin its operations without delay.
1t will be a good thing for the banks
and a good thing for the people. This
community has given to its banks all
the support 1t knew how to give, and
that support was of the most effective
kind. 1t is none too soon for tho banks
to got in line aud do all they can for
the community.
To-night's meeting should DO one Of
the largest gatherings of business men
ever held in Wheeling and the very
best results should follow. 1t is good
time for the business men OF all kinds
to got together.

The nerIng sen Arbltratlon.

We have not secured all that We set
out for in the Boring sea arbitration,
but since the seal are to be protected
by arrangement between Great Britain
and the United States, the main object
in controversy has been reached. With
two strong countries on guard the sea-
pirates will have to abandon their de-
structive work.
The full text OF the award must be
awaited before the decision can be I'M
deratood in all its bearings Meanwhile
it 10 certain that we have not been sus'
tanned in the contention we SGT up with
regard to jurisdiction.
1t is decided that Russia never
claimed the jurisdiction which wa have
claimed, and so it follows that Great
Britain never acqulesced in that claim
and VIC could have no further jurisdic'
ton than Russia had to convey to US,
So long as the seal life is protected this
question of exclusive jurisdiction is not
vital.
Although We had come out Of the ar
bitration in worse case than we have,
the peaceful decision OF question Of
this character between two great ma
tions is we'll worth the cost There are
questions that cannot be arbitrated, but
many others can be and the United
States and Great Britain have now on
two notable occasions set the world q
good example and demonstrated that it
is not necessary to fly 10 arms over
every difference Of opinion between ma
tions. 1t would DO well for Europe If it
were to follow the example OF these two
great English.speaking nations.

What Is The Matter With the People 2
The fact that the Worlds Fair man
agement has felt it necessary to "Bar-
numize" the fair in order to draw the
people is suggestive Of thoughts to
which We Americans hardly like to give
expression.
II there were nothing in tho fair but
the superb buildings, the like of which
the world has not seen before, there
would be enough to stimulate the pride
aud excite the intelligent interest Of the
American people. Add 10 tho build
ings tho marvellous extent and variety
OF exhibits, and there is an array Of all
that is wonderful and curious and USE
full and beautiful worth q journey a.foot
to see.
Why is it that tho people have not
foCked to see these things? 1t cannot
be due solely to scarcity of money, for
special attractions OF the Barnum order
draw. OF those who attend the fair
and have but few days to remain very
many spend most OF their time and eat
into their money by giving most OF
their attention to the sidc.shows OF the
PlaisanCe.
Tho logical inference is that tho
masses do not care for the quiet gran
dour of tho fair proper and fail to up.
preciato tho educational advantages OF
the exhibits. II this be true no
amount OF cato receipts can save the
fair from failure.
The justification Of such an under
taking is that it educatos tho country.
In this sense the Centennial exposition
was SUCCESS worth all it cost.
