A Queer Way.

uipillH dtD iil' Dbdih bl NulItlN l0piN deferred action upon the Arizola school matter and the Casa Grande school bonds under an assurance by Mr Ben nett, the Casa Grande supervisor, that the differences between the two com munities could all be settled at a meet ing that had been called at Casa Grande.
 The people of Arizola have not for gotten how they found upon attending the meeting that Mir. Bonnet had been very much mistaken in his assertion.
 This week there has been another very queer proceeding of the same nature by the same gentlemen.
 Monday the supervisors were again in session. and that was the day set for final action upon the matters at issue between the two communities. It was understood that NIT. Abram $. Humphries of Florence, had been en- gagged to make an argument before the board on behalf of Casa Grande.
 Just before the board went into session Mr Bennett stated to one of the Arizoa party, who engaged him in conversation on the matter. that if Arizola would cease opposition to the present issue of bonds and permit their sale. that as soon as sold another special election would becalled, bonds voted in like amount for construc- tion of school house at Arizola, and with that done the district could be divided and ArIzola could have an in- dependent district and good school house, with all the property in both districts securing the bonds.
 NIT. Bonnet stated explicitly that this proposition had emanated from NIT. W. C. Smith of Casa Grande, and that he believed that Mir. Smith would stand by the proposition. Mr. Bonnet asserted that Casa Grande only wanted an assurance of it's owa school house and will then aid in providing for the wants of Arizola.
 In passing Mir. Humphries overheard MT. Bennet's assertion and immedl- ately suggested 1t as the basis for q compromise. Other Arizola parties were called into consultation and the proposed compromise was accepted. By request Mir. Humphries drew a contract embodying the points above set forth, and Mir. Bonnet signed it. Mir. Humphries then came down toget the signatures of all interested par ties at Arizola and Casa Grande.
 In accordance with the arrange ment MT. iumphries went to Casa Grande Tuesday morning, and. very much to his surprise, found that Mir. Bonnet was again mistaken. MT. w. c. Smith repudiated in toto the eX- pressions with which Mir. Bonnet had credited him, and refused for a time to to even read the paper submitted by Mir. TIumphries.
 With the Boss of Casa Grande in such a frame of mind there was noth- ing to De gained by troubling anyone else: So MT. Hlumphries retired, to re- turn to Florence the next day and re- port the failure of his mission. the board having consented to await his return.
 It seems plainly apparent in this matter that metaphorically Mr. smith has Aiizola right where the other boy had the Heayenfich boy, and, meta phorically also, is determined to pro- ceed to the same end.

them all opposition failed and they were
adopted without serious obstacle, where
upon the house took recess until 1880.

IA. wheeling a City Governments

Mountain EchO-One is led to ask this
question on reading in the Wheeling
dailies the accounts of disorder In con-
nection with the street car strike. We
know nothing Of the merits Of the case,
but we do know that if wheeling
has q city government 1t ought
to protect the street railroad en-
ployes, cars and passengers
from the attacks Of all sorts
and conditions Of men, whether strikers,
hoodlumS, rOughs or toughs. Every
man has q right TO declare that he will
not work nnless he is satisfied with the
place and pay, but nobody has the shad-
ow OF right to stone street cars and en-
danger the lives Of employees and pas
ssngers and the property OF the CON-
pany as has been done again and again
in Wheeling In the last two or three
weeks.
81. Mdrfs 'Oracle-Can it be possible
that in a city the size Of Wheeling q
mob is allowed TO follow men under the
protection OF the police and assault
them with stones and bricks, and yet no
arrests are made because nobody knows
who threw the particular stones that
struck them. II this is the kind OF law
they have in Wheeling and the way
they enforce it, we confess we should
rather live down on the banks Of the
SANDY" where they have no law at all.
There at least a man may carry Win
chester for his own protection, which is
more than no is allowed to do in Wheel
Ing.
Mol,ndSuille Echo; The Wheeling
street car strike has become promi-
nent feature in local affairs. II has
reached that point when it has become
a question whether the State laws are
deserving Of any respect or whether
lawlessness shall reign supreme. There
is but one step between g disregard for
statute laws and anarchy. The people
will soon be called upon to decide which
they prefer.

DE. CLEvELANp.s AppREss.

The inaugural address OF President
CLEVELAND is a magnificent utterance.
1t is brief aud otherwise characteristic
Of the speaker in its every line. In out
lining the policy OF his administration
he takes up in its turn each problem it
will be called upon to solve, and with
out reservation or hesitancy, states his
position in simple, clear-cut, forcible
language and with an eloquence born OF
the speakers earnestness and epigram-
matte style, that must carry conviction
TO the hearer and furnish all with conf
dence in the strength. wisdom and pa
triotism Of the man in whom the nation
has reposed its highest trust.
The address, like the cut and finely
polished gem of the first water, leaves
nothing to DO added, nothing to be
taken away. 1t epitomizes the best and
purest thought and wisdom in the
school of our country's experience.
1t goes straight as an arrow through
the mazes Of sophistry, subterfuge and
falslty to the root of every question,
squaring it to the fundamental princi-
pies of true government by the people,
Of the people and for the people.
Brief as it is, it is mine Of mex
haustibls wealth, from which the plain
citizen can gather the truths under
lying all the important questions of the
present that our statesmen must meet,
for it's every sentence is text for an
grafton.
Not once does Mr.. CLEVELAND men
ton party, except to condemn partisan
ship in public affairs. He speaks to all
parties, for the whole people, as he is
President Of the whole people.

Sizing Up the Sun.
%. NJ.

Says an amateur in astronomy: zone
of the most startling facts that L have
learned about other worlds than ours,
and one that brings the immensity Of
the sun before the, mind in an impress
sively practical way, is this: That if the
earth was placed at the centre Of the
sun, and the moon should retain the
same relative position it now has,
the distance from the earth to
tho moon would be only little more
than half the distance from the centre
of the sun to its circumference, that is,
the entire orbit OF the moon, $50, 900
miles in diameter, IS not much more
than half the size of the sun, which is
over SEQ, 900 miles In diamtei. II seems
to me that nothing can convey to the
mind the immensely Of some things in
the universe and the smallness OF others
our earth for example-in more
practical way than this plain statement
of simple astromical facts. Mao York

friends are stoutly urging his name Tor that

favor him; and also that he is the choice OF
the outgoing and incoming State admins
trations, while the chairman Of the State
Executive Committee and many
State Senators and members OF
the House of Delegates have warmly es-
poused his cause. MIR. Daley will MAKE
formidable candidate. His well known

party, are conditions which naturally make
him popular and rally adherents to his BAN
ner.
AS your readers are aware Hon. Joseph
S. Miller, the able incumbent under Mr..
CleVelandis former administration, has
been looked upon as having dead cinch
upon the position, mainly on account Of the
warm friendship existing between Presi-
dent Cleveland and himself. Therefore
the sudden appearance upon the pubic
horoscope Of this new Richmond, with his
recognized prowess and formidable follow
ing, cannot but complicate the situation
and render the chance Of West Virginian

Nothing has transpired in regard to the

West End. Many of the prime movers of
the project are 10th TO think that our Board
of County Commissioners have abandoned
the proposition, as they have never taken
any action on the.matter. 1t will certainly
be TOO bad TO droB such an excellent move
toward progress and advancement on be-
half Of the Electric Company. A number
of our citizens who have so strongly advo-
Gated the project cannot realize that the
matter has been dropped by the Board OF
Commissioners. In conversation with a
prominent citizen yesterday he told
the reporter he regretted very much TO
think that this matter had not been favor
ably considered by the Board, but he
thought if that honorable body would adopt

more could be accomplished, and perhaps
more favorable aud definite answer could
be reached by that body. AS the matter
