HAIL 1898!

A brand new year is before US. II it
shall bring as much of the good things
Of life as the old year that has just
passed serenely away we shall have no
cause to complain, for the Old Year has
been very good to US here in Wheeling
and throughout West Virginia. The
ups and downs Of trade and commerce
have affected US but slightly il
at all. Our business interests
are on too solid foundation to
feel the effects Of financial stringency,
though it might be sufficient to ruin a
less solid community. We have been
equally fortunate in our freedom from
strikes and labor difficulties, which
m sans much 20 an industrial city such
as Wheeling, whose population is COM
posed mostly Of the sons Of toll, and, in
consequence, we have been contented and
prosperous because busy and indus
trious.
The Old Year has seen the compile
ton of many monuments to this pros
perity In numerous splendid improve
ments to which We point with just
pride.
Yes, the Old Year has been very good
to us, but the New Year promises more
in the line Of progress. The more we
advance, the faster we advance. Each
Improvement is light which reveals
the need of others. Each new and
fine building, of which so many have
been erected of late In this city, shows
by startling contrast where others are
badly wanted. And so it goes.
On with the march Of progressI
Farewell, Old Year!
Onward and upward on the double
quick!
Hail and welcome 1898!

nOId Hickory"

The sobriQuet "Old Hickory" was
conferred upon Andrew Jackson by the
soldiers under his command in 1913. 1t
was not an inspiration, but growth.
First OF all, the remark was made by
some soldier who was struck by his
commanders pedestrian powers that
the General was tough" Next it was
observed that he was as tough as hick-
Ory. Then he was called Hickory.
Lastly, the affectionate adjective ''Old"
was prefxed, and the General thence
forth reioiced in the complete nick
name, usually the frSt-wOn honor OF a
great commander. The General, how
ever, is said TO nave told the following
story OF the origin Of the epithet
20 one of his mesSmates. During
the Creek war, when he was suffering
from q bad cold, his officers impro-
viSed a tent for him, covered with
flakes Of hickory bark, under which he
slept comfortable. Next morning an
intoxicated hanger-On of the camp
came across the tent, and not knowing
who was in it gave gave il kick that
tumbled the structure over. AS the
angry old hero struggled out OF the
ruins the topper cried out: "Hello! Old
Hickory come out of your bark and
Join US in a drink" The general could
not help joining in the laughter at the
incident. As he rose and shook the
bark from him he looked so tough and
stern that the spectators gave him a
hearty "Hurrah for OLD Hickory and
the name clung to him ever after.

It unfortunate that the first battle
to finish which has been witnessed In
this vicinity for years should be laid
open to the suspicion OF crookedness.
A great many plausible stories are toid,
which If true, make 1t appear that the
battle was fake" But IL 1t was not
contested on it's merits, it was at any
rate a very clever exhibition OF boxing,
and none who attended regretted the
money spent. The successful contest
ant has no less than three CHALLENGES
on his hands for fights 10 finish. Ed
Kelly, OF Washington, d. c., wants a
bout with him, Ed. O'Malley, clever
local boxer, thinks he can put him to
sleep, and his defeated opponent ex-
presses a willingness to fight him again
for q purse OF 81, 900.

WEST VIRGINIA JUSTICE.

4 It Is very rare. indeed, that justice is
Kmeted so promptly as in the case Of the
Huntington would-be train robbers.
YJust eighteen days after the commission
OF their crime both the bandits had been
landed behind the bars Of the State Pen
itentiary TO serve life sentences.
West Virginia has been much ma
ligned by the ignorant press of other
States on the score Of her criminal
record aud tardy netting out of justice,
and this will be an eye-opener to the
outside public. The charges against
the administration OF the law In this
State have never been founded on fact,
for the reason that half the tales Of
bloody crimes sent broadcast over the
country by moneY-mSking correspond
ents never occurred. Difficult or i'm
possible Of verIfcation or denial
these false stories have stood as
Afacts and have even operated to some
extent in keeping population and CAPT.

The New Year Is a fitting time to
turn over that new leaf in our nationa!
history, and begin a spOtless page
on which shall not be traced in charac-
tiers Of bitterness and hatred the recol-

but that they shall be softened by heal
ing Time, and shorn OF sectionalism and
prejudice by dispassionate, calDer ana

This, the new patriotic magazine, The
Blue and the Gray, which has just maze
its first appearance, aims to do. 1t Is q
very handsome publication, printed In
colors and it's list of contributors COM
prises some of the foremost writer's OF
the country, North and South, on the
subject Of the War. Side by side In It's
columns are anecdotes and scraps OF
wsr-lore written by men who met in the

motto is Observation-Disclosures ana

It fills niche in current literature
that has heretofore been vacant and Is
not only Of value to the student OF the

An Outlet for the Chinese.

Announcement has been made in
the press of the presence in this
country of an immigration agent
from Brazil on his way to China and
Japan to secure agricultural laborers
for Brazilian coffee plantations, and
the fact gives special interest to the
report of United States Consul Gen
eral o. H. Dockery at Rio de Janeiro
to the State Department. The ad
vance sheets OF this report have just
been received by the Bureau of
American Republics.
Dockery says, concerning immi-
grafton into Brazil: ''The recent re-
peal by the Brazilian Congress OF the
law which prohibited Chinese and
japanese immigration has awakened
much interest in the subject, and the
best mode of introducing Chinese
and Japanese laborers is the question
now being discussed by planters and
speculaters.
THE labor supply is not equal to
the demands of the farmers. They
are unable to procure sufficient help
to carry on their business, but with
one exception no steps have been
taken by the companies to whom the
management of immigration is in.
trusted to introduce these laborers.
One company has gone so far as to
send an agent to China to investi-
gate the situation, the company hav-
ing fears that the Chinese will refuse
to emigrate to that republic"
