City Council.

At an adjourned meeting of Council
last night, an ordinance specifying the
terms of contract with Col. F. j. Pic
ard, for city lighting in the event he
should buy the gas and electric works,
reached third reading, under suspension
of the rules and was laid on the table.
DR.. Brown thought ten years was too
long term for the contract, and that
$3.50, the average price paid in twelve
small cities he had selected, should be
inserted instead OF 500 per year for arc
lights. Also, that the rate of three cents
deduction per hour wasn't enough. Prof
Smith said that he wanted more time,
as did Mather and Rizer. The ordi-
nance was tabled.
Attorney A. L. Harman appeared on
behalf of Col Picard, and made very
clear presentation of the condition of
affairs.
Attorney Richtie, of Cincinnati, pre-.
sented proposition on behalf of the
Boughen Engineering Company, who
offered to employ Mr.. Fladd, or any
other expert to be named by Council, to
90 over their work as an associate with
the present engineer, their report to
settle all discussion. The Boughen En-.
gineering Co. to make good any defc.
iency and the Council to accept report
of engineers as final. This had reference
only to the mechanical conditions of
the plant, leaving the matter of water
supply for farther consideration. The
company was was willing then to make
such reduction as the city and they
could agree upon on account of the
shortage in the water supply.
DIR. Brown said the damage to the city
by the water supply might be more than
all the the twenty per cent. now reserv-
ed. He was opposed to adjustment on
the basis OF Withholding from the pay
ment for wells an amount proportionate
to the shortage in water He intimated
that the proposition would commit
them to that course.
Mr.. Richtie said not. 1t only elimi-
mated from the question everything but
the settlement of the water supply, and
left Council free to demand such terms
as they might choose, but he felt they
would be fair and reasonable. The ob.
ject was to get down to some tangible
basis for discussion.
On a vote the Council refused to adopt
the resolution and affairs are still un.
settled.
1t is becoming matter of anxious in.
terest to the people, and tax payers are
beginning to wonder where this will
end. 1t strikes US that Council might
reserve from the amount due the con.
tractor an amount ample for the pur-
chase of such additional territory and
the sinking of such wells as may be
necessary to reach the required limit,
whenever desired. On some such basis,
fair settlement might be reached.

The camp meeting held at Bellevue
Park, near Belfast, which closed Sun.
day night, was the most wonderful of
its kind ever held in that region. From
the beginning, the interest was great,
but as the days went by, it increased to
such an extent that the people were en-.
raptured. The preaching Of Rev, Thos.
Ogle was of the highest order. His dis
courses were commended upon every
side. The effect at times was marvellous.
Rev. j G. Talbot rendered efficient ser.
vice His gentleness of manner won The
hearts of all. Everywhere is heard the
praises OF the good that was done. Rev.
Ogle has been invited to take charge OF
the meeting next year.

Union and Victory.

There never was a time when it was
more important than now that the
candidates of the Democratic party
should be elected, and there should be
no listlessness or hesitancy on the part
of any Democrat to give them a cor
dial and active support. There is no
good reason why any Democrat should
fail to do so, and by failing to support
the Democratic party at this time of
need would be to impugn their own
Democracy, and to aid the Republicans
again to get control of the government
and to heap burdens on the people,
They are now laboring with might and
main to accomplish that object. AS
the Norfolk Landmark says. there is
going to be a terrible struggle of the
Republican colossus to bestride this
country again. No doubt of that
The case is desperate, and now is the
time for the animal to recover itself, il
ever, but the people have worn the
saddle and been jerked about by the
snaffie- bit bride of this monster until
they are CALLED and their mouths are
bleeding. They will not be harnessed
again."

The Republican Victory in Maine

Referring to the sweeping Republi-
can majorityin Maine on Monday OF
last week, the New York Herald says it
would be no wonder if every New Eng
land State should go solidly against
the Wilson tariff-reform and for a re-
yival of McKinleyism. For thirtytwo
years all tariff legislation has been
shaped especially for the enrichment
of New England at the expense of al
most every other section of the coun-
try. The, Census statistics show that
between 1880 and 1890 the wealth of
New England increased 1915, 200, 0OO.-
But in the same period the aggregate
increase of wealth of New Jersey,
Maryland, West Virginia, Indiana,
South Carolina, Iowa, Alabama and
Nebraska was lin all these States) only
1914, 100000. despite the fact that the
population of these States sums up
more than twice that of all New Eng
land. While the wealth of Maine in
creased $73, $50, 1856, the wealth of West
Virginia and Maryland each increased
only $31 100000. There is nothing
strange, therefore, that highly "pro-
tected" New England State, which has
80 long reaped annually many millions
OF dollars exacted from less favored
sister States, should be ''solid" against
progressive tariff-reform, which would
equalize burdens and gradually put an
end to the stupendous robbery of
tariff taxation.
The solidity of Maine for revival of
this system of wholesale plundering OF
the people for the benefit of manu-
featuring Trusts and favored classes
ought to rouse, and if we mistake not
will rouse, every patriot in the land to
redouble his efforts to give the finish
ing blow to every form of McKinleyism
and it's newborn progeny, Gormanism.
No people fit for freedom will let these
monsters survive.

Wool Prices Under Free Wool.

The wool market just now affords a
good study for the political wool grow
ers of the Country. 1t will pay them
to study facts while, and to forget
their theories and their calamity cries.
In 1890 Mckinley listened to the pleas
of Delano, Harpster, and Lawrence
and granted them greatly increased
duties on woods in order to raise prices.
But prices never declined so much and
SO rapidly as during the four years of
McKinleyism. The decline has been
almost steady, except that it was
checked for few months, after the
election of 1892, and that it was chang
ed into an advance during the last two
months. The decline has been from 80
to so per cent. High duties on woods,
then, have not caused higher prices az
these wool prophets predicted. This is
mistake number one
| Nothing was more certain, in the
opinion of some of the wool growers
than that free wool would greatly re-
duce prices of domestic woods and ruin
the wool and sheep producing indus
tries For the first time, since 1916, al
woods are now free of duty. What now
are the facts up to date?
All woods became free on August
28th. We quote the following prices
of foreign and domestic woods from the
american Wool and Cotton Reporter:

Base Ball DemOraliZing.

The Petersburg I1adec-AppeGl, after
expressing it's qualification that the
Petersburg team won the pennant,
and that the base ball season is over,
says "there is, probably, not in the
history of diversions one that has
proved more demoralizing to old and
young-especially to the young. Not
withstanding the hard times and the
number of idle persons, it is almost i'm
possible to induce boys to learn trades.
In their misguided minds there is no
trade worth knowing except that OF
base ball playing. And the few who
engage to work make it a condition, in
many instances, that their hours OF
employment shall not conflict with the
hours of,the game. We know whereof
we write. Before the era of base ball
there was said to be time for every
thing. Now there is time but for one
thing. Perhaps we should hear less OF
hard times if men devoted themselves
to their business with half the zeal they
besto on what they are pleased to
call the national game"

Celebration at Winchester.

At the celebration in Winchester
Thursday in honor of the completion
of the new water-works ex-Gov. Holli
day made an address after the big
parade. Mr.. G. Is. Rouss, of New York

donated $4,000 for the additional
water supply, was present with his
friend, Mr.. Erastus Wiman. Ex-Gov

Gated to Mr.. Rouss as from the ladies
of Winchester. Mayor Lupton &C
cepted the water-works in behalf o.
the city from Gov. Holiday in an ex
cellent speech and presented to Mr.
Rouss the engrossed resolution Of
thanks passed by the Winchester City
Council and by mass meeting of citi
zens. Mr.. Rouss, in accepting the
scroll, responded to Mr. Hedsell in &
feeling speech.
The "Stonewall Brigade Band" OF
this city had a conspicuous place in
the parade and furnished splendid
music for the occasion.

Justice Denied the South.

The IndeG appeal mentions the fact
that "when Ida Wells landed in Lon
don she was interviewed by repre-
sentative of the Christian World Of
that city, religious publication which
has an enormous circulation, By this
paper she was permitted to spread her
false and exaggerated statements be-
fore the British public. Rev. J. j.
Hall, of Norfolk, Va, pastor of the
Park Avenue Baptist church of that
city, an Englishman who had spent
the greater part of his life in his native
land and has been resident of the
United States for fifteen years, was so
much impressed by the falsity of the
charge made by the Wells woman that
he drafted a temperate but convincing
denial, together with a comprehensive
review of the conditions existing in the
South, and sent the article to the
Christian World with request that II
be published in justice to those whom
the World had permitted to be Sian
dered through its columns. The article
w. returned to Mr.. Hall by the edi,
tors who refused to give any reason fol-
not publishing it. This influential
religious journal also destined to pub
lish statements made by Governor
Northen, of Georgia, and Governor
Stone, of Mississippi. If this is the
Justice which the most widely circu
lated religious publications of England
mete out to the South, how can any.

Wool Prices Under Free Wool.

The Wool Growers Get Good Prices for
Their Clips Under the New Tariff
WHEELING, W. VA, Sept. 9.-(Spe-
cial. THE good effects of the new tar
iff bill on the wool market are coming
more rapidly than even its most hearty
supporters had dared to wish. The
Wheeling Register, through its special
correspondents in eastern Ohio, West
Virginia, and western Pennsylvania,
has made inquiry concerning prices
and demands, and the result has been
far more than satisfactory to the
friends of the free wool measure.
The correspondent at Woodsfield,
O., the center of a large wool raising
country, represented in Congress by A.
J. Pearson, whose place was jeopardiz-
ed by his vote for free wool, reports
that Alexander Harmon sold 10000
pounds of wool within week at &c
cents. and was offered as much for the
remainder of his clip. This he refused,
believing he can do better before the
first of the year. Clint & Pfalzgraff.
also of Monroe county, have sold their
wool within week at 90 cents, it be-
ing q less desirable clip than that of
Harmon. Miller-& Co. of Beallsville,
O., are offering 20 and 81 cents, but
are getting no wool. The wool men
are set against anything short of 90
cents. The report from Washington,
Pa, is that washed wool is selling and
has been for a week at 30 and 81 cents.
Markell Il Co. of Monongahela, are Of
fering and have instructed their coun-
try agents to take up $50, 900 pounds at
from 90 to % cents, according to grade.
Several instances where wool has
sold in the West Virginia pan handle
at from 90 to 90 cents are reported.
Most of the wool buyers are Republic
cans and the fairy stories they have
told wool raisers within the past three
months are remarkable. They haye
used every means to bulldoze buyers
into selling at from Is to II cents and
have been able to get some wool at
those figures. -Cle0eland PlaindeQler,

The Shenandoah Valley.

The pamphlet entitled "The Old and
the New" issued from the Land and
immigration Agents office of the B. 4
o. Railroad, says truly that the Shen-
andoah Valley offers to the home
seeker the following advantages
Healthful climate, pure water, fertile
soil, good markets, excellent schools,
low-priced lands, fine business locs-
tions, desirable manufacturing sites,
happiness and prosperity. In speak
ing of this remarkable Valley, it says
well and truthfully that in all the
South, SO full of scenic beauty and so
Astounding in fertility, there is none
fairer than the Shenandoah Valley
The mountain-rimmed valley, from
Harper's Ferry to Lexington, is gem
of marvellous beauty. Its climatic
characteristics leave nothing to be de.
sired. 1t is picturesque in location.
historic in association and rich in every
material resource. In its agricultural
possibilities it is excelled by no other
section of our country, and all the
grasses, grains and fruits which can be
grown in the temperate zone are grown
here in the highest degree of perfec-
ton. In it's adaptability for manu-
featuring purposes it stands without a
rival. In its mineral wealth of iron
and coal it is without peer, and under
proper development it could create and
maintain a million Cr9suses. In its
wealth of flowers, orchards and vine
yards, all the hanging gardens of an
Gent Babylon would be as a single
vase in monumental conservatory. In
it's mountain forests are found woods
suited to every variety of manufactur-
ing industry. Its mineral and health
giving springs possess rare medical
virtues, and have a worldwide reputa-
ton. It's deposits of fire and brick
clays are practically inexhaustible. In
fact it is the region for the farmer, the
manufacturer, the artisan, the mer-
chant, the stockman, the fruit-grower,
the mechanic and laborer. In the
cheapness of it's lands it rivals the best
portions of the great West. AS place
of residence it is preferable to Cali
fornia. To fttingly describe all OF its
advantages would be
ITO gid refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or with taper light
To seek the beauteous eye Of heaven to gar
nish."
To appreciate it, one must see the
beautiful Valley, and having looked
upon it. one could truthfully use the
language of the Queen of Sheba, who
came from afar to witness the glory OF
Solomon, and when she had seen all OF
this monarch's magnifcence, she ex-
claimed: 1.-The half has not been
told" Come to the Shenandoah Val
ley; drink in its wonderful scenic
beauty; enumerate its manifold ad
vantages; sum up its possibilities, and
then say whether anything above
stated has been in the slightest degree
exaggerated.
