The distressing conditions that

every print in the country. 1t Is
more blessed to give charitably

The ethereal mildness that usual
ly loafs around the latitude of this
city was suddenly chilled last
week, but it was owing to the cold
ness of the farewell prepared for
the Old Year.

THE OLD DEAD YEAR.

The year which Is so soon to
pass into history has been one Of
the most marked of the century.
In nothing has it been more Sig
nificant than in its political pre-
sentiments. At homo and abroad
alike has this feature Of the time
8 lown Itself, but no where else so
signally as in the far east and in
this western hemisphere. The
historian Of the future will point
to the marvellous strides taken by
Japan, in her unlocked for tri-
umph over populous China, as one
Of the most noted events Of the
century. Not the fateful issue OF
the Franco-Prussian war more
astonished an observing world
than has this triumph Of the Japa-
nese forces in Corea and in China
proper, virtually bringing the
vast millions OF the Celestial king
dom to the feet OF conquering ia
pan and putting a new face on all
the possibilities Of the next cen.
fury in that far-off section Of the
habitable globe. None the less
signal has been the political
overturning in this country, show.
ing such a deep determlnatlo n
on the part OF the people to dispos.
sess the dominant party from pow
err as has never before been noted
since the birth Of the republic. The
utter reputation Of the Democrat
ic party by tho country has aston
ished two worlds, and the full
significance Of the event Is not
fully sensed. This revolution,
bloodless as it has been, changes
the whole face OF industrial and
financial matters in these United
States, challenging the ripest wis
dom OF the incoming party to meet
the demands OF the nation in such
a way as to satisfy them, wanting
which the defeat OF their opponents
is before them as an object lesson.
This revolution has its lessons, not
the least OF them being the loosing
OF party ties and the greater inde-
pendence OF the people in matters
OF the selection OF their rulers
This has also been emphasized in
the inquisition that has been made
into the crookedness of municipal
government in the large cities Of
this nation, foreshadowing the bet.
ter and more honest administration
OF affairs in those large cities. The
general tendency OF all industrial
nations to adopt protective policies
and make the concession Of other
producers the measure Of their
own, is also to be noted, foreshad-
owing the time not so far distant
in which the people that can best
live within themselves will be best
placed to make advance and main.
tain themselves In the face Of the
greater competition constantly
arising. The general conclusion
that an era Of low prices has come
in to stay, is also to be noted and
the attempt on the part Of the
wisdom of the present to conform
to the new condition. The lessons
Of the year lie along these lines
more plainly than elsewhere, teach
ing that the powers OF the earth
are to take into account new
force in the settlement OF eastern
questions, and that the dominant
party in this country must give
more heed to the voice OF the peo-
Pile in shaping their policy, or they
will be repudiated.

ment OF the decent men OF all par

Points Picked Up Ab,ut the City Last
Evening
The Fostoria glass works at Mounds
vile are having good run.
The Wheeling steel works will so on
In full this morning. 1t is thought
that now they will nave a steady run.
A few days ago 225 tons Of steel bill
lets were made at the Wheeling steel
works In twelve hours. This Is q
record
More workmen resumed yesterday at
the North Wheeling pottery. The plant
now is about on In full, and the outlook
Is that the run will be good one.
More of the workmen OF Bloch's to-
bacco works went on\yesterdsy after
the vacation. The entire plant Will be
on in full tefore the latter part OF the
week.
Michael Quinn and Charles Bidauf,
formerly Of the Tiltonville sanitary pot
terry, have accepted positions 10 the
new Wheeling sanitary works. and have
arrived In the city 10 begin work.
Samuel Gibbons. well known steel
happiest OF mill men in the city last
night. 1t was all by reason OF the ar
rival at his home on Forty-third street
OF new girl.
Business Is brisker than for long
time this week at the Bellaire nail
works. The furnace, the plate mill,
and the steel works, are all In booming
operation. There is not q department
of the big mill idle.
John w. Robb, OF South Jacob street,
one OF the best known among the mill
men OF this locality, who for the last
five years has been the pattern maker
at the Belaire nail works, has resigned
his position. He has rented part OF
the Star foundry on Market street, and
will start large brass foundry there at
once. Peter Greer, formerly with y.
W. Beck at the brass foundry on Six
treeth street, will be the foreman OF
the new concern. The new works will
be opened the beginning OF next week.
For the present the Riverside coal
mines at the head OF Twenty-hith
street, which supply the Belmont mill
with fuel when they are In operation,
will remain closed. The mines, which
employed forty workmen, have been In
operation since before the great coal
strike. When the strike was settled
arrangements could not be made with
the haulers TO go To work, and at that
time the mouth OF the bank was nailed
up, indicating that the stop would be
long one. A few days ago the manage
ment OF the Belmont tried 10 arrange
the matter with the miners, but moth
ing was accomplished. The mill has
been using gas for some time, and yes
terday it was taken out. The mill Will
be run with bought coal. and several
car loads are now at the plant.

Rather a Slick Article.

About two weeks ago stranger ar
rived 10 the city and began to solicit
advertisements among the business
men. He represented himself as from
the Wheeling Y. M, c. IL, and said
that in the centre Of the card OF adver-
tisements he was going to insert the
names OF the papers to be found at the
Y. NJ. c. A. reading room. Sailing
under the false colors, ne did well, and
got thirteen of the business men into II.
He left the work with job printer on
the South Side. The man then pro-
ceeded to make bis collections, With
tn Q money forthe lads" In his pocket,
he left the city, and has not been heard
of since. He did not give his name TO
anyone nor where be came fro m. He
had no authority at all from the y. NJ.

understood. The fellow took away
with him about $50.
