GAVE UP THE PROJECT.
The Central Glass Works win Not he OF

Everybody in Wheeling will regret TO
learn that the project TO purchase the
been revived of late by a number of
Wheeling capitalists, has fallen through,
and that the matter has been reluctantly
abandoned.
Another meeting of the gentlemen inter
ested was held last evening and ii was
definitely decided TO give up the plan. The
cause was not the old one of an irrecon-
cilahe difference in price between the
United States Company and the local
folks but is assigned to the failure of a
gentleman who, it was hoped, would go
into the project 10 meet the expectations
of his business friends The other gentle
men did not feel like going ahead with
out him, and thus the deal is oil.
The disappointment over this determtn-
alton will be general, as IL was hoped that
at last the effort TO start up the factory
u-or1ld succeed.

The jury of experts that has been in
vestigating the causes of the collapse OF
the Ireland building in New York places
the responsibility for the catastrophe
on Behrens, the architect; Parker, the
builder; Walker, the genral superinten-
dent; Murray, the master mason; You'd
all, assistant to Behrens, and Buckley,
building inspector; in addition to which
it condemns the iron work as structural
ly weak and not in accordance with the
specifications 1t will be seen that the
building inspector, whose sole business
it is to see that buildings are properly
constructed, is on the list. Evidently
policemen are not the only corrupt and
incompetent officials New York is cursed
with. Probably Buckley got liberal
reward for shutting his eyes to infrac-
lions of the building law just as the po-
lice officials did for winking at violations
of the criminals statutes. He deserves
the severest punishment of all, for it
was his special duty to protect the pub
lie,

William E. Curtis, the correspondent
OF the Chicago Record in Japan, is writ
ing some interesting letters about the
recent development of manufacturing in
that country, and inlthis connection he
discussess.th effect of the demonstration
of silver by the western nations and its
bearing on the rise of manufacturing
in Japan. Mr. Curtis is not silver
man, yet, nevertheless, he admits.that it
is the uniform testimony of all concerned
chat the demonstration of the white
metal by the repeal of the Bland law in
the United States and the suspension of
coinage in India was great thing for
Japan. The Japanese, he reports,
realize this fact, and the bankers, off
cials, merchants, manufacturers and
agriculturalists all hope that the silver
agitation in the West will continue
"Let the debtors and he'ereditors in Eu-
rope and America fight it out, they say.
Meantime we will saw wood. The
longer England holds to single stand
ard the better twill be for Japan. !"
Many English observers have pointed this
out before, and have warned the Eng.
lish manufacturers that if the exclusive
gold policy was persisted in by Great
Britain, Japan would eventually control
the markets of the East since she would
have the tremendous advantage Of natu-
rally cheap labor, cheapened artificially
still further by silver currency.

Senator Germans candidate for gov
ernor in Maryland gets bad blow from
ex-Gov. Whyte's public refusal to sup
port him, on the ground that he is not
the candidate of the Democracy, but of
the German faction merely. Whyte is
very prominent Democratic leader, and
has been Senator as well as Governor and
Comptroller and has large following.
The detection in the Democratic ranks
was pretty serious before Mr. Whyte add
ed his influence and now, undoubtedly,
its gravity will be Y cry much increased.
A few years ago Whyte and his disatfect-
ed followers would have been easily driV-
en- back into the Democratic ranks by
raising the spectre of negro domination,
but that bugbear, in the border South
srn States at least, has ceased to be
effective. In those States the white yot-
ers are beginning to divide on public
questions, just as they do in the North,
and the race question has practically
disappeared 1t was not effective
enough last year to prevent Democratic
defeat in North Carolina, in Tennessee
or in Missouri, and it looks as if there
was not enough left of it to save the
Maryland and Kentucky Democracy from
q drubbing this year.

THE GoRMAN-wILsoN TARIFF Law

According to the last platform of the
National Democratic party the purpose
of the tariff, and it's only lawful purpose,
is to raise sufficient revenue to support
the government economically admins
tered. When a tariff does that it is, ac-
cording to this platform, a success.
Judged by this test the present German
Wilson tariff law is failure, for it has
never produced revenue sufficient to sup
port the government, when administered
by Democrats, and presumably there
fore, economically administered. BUT
according to the Republicans and con-
siderable portion of the Democrats.
a tariff may be constructed
lawfully, with a view not mere
ly of raising sufficient revenue for
the support of the government, but also
of protecting home industry
against foreign competition-and this
idea though completely sd1savowed in the
Democratic platform and denounced as
a fraud, did find Judgment in the law
which the Democratic Congress con-
structed The Commanded Wilson bill
was protective measure, the protective
idea being SO conspicuous in it that the
President practically washed his hands
of it, and Prof Wilson denounced it as
a fraud. Thus while the bill sought to
afford sufficient revenue, it sought also,
incidentally at least, to give protection
to American enterprise and labor. AS
a revenue measure it is confessedly made
quate. The treasury has been constantly
running behind AS protective measure
it has been inadequate too. Under it
cotton and wooden goods have been large
~ imported, while the purchasing and
consuming power of the people has di-
unfinished. The result is therefore.a di-
minution of home manufactures from
both causes. How measure that has
run the country in debt a good many
millions and has sacrificed the home
market in many points to foreigners, can
be pronounced a success, it is difficult to
understand, unless in Democratic esti-
nation, a measure that falls short of alb
solutely running the country is success.
If the same results had followed the Nc
Kinley law as have been the coneomitants
of the Gorman-Wilson bill, we do not be-
lieye our esteemed Democratic contem
poraries would have deemed it success.

The Female Oyster Hatches 10000, 900
That the Delicacy Will Ever Become
Extinct,
The alphabetical character r and that
gentle morsel of food, the oyster, have
long been regarded as synonymous, says
the New York correspondent OF the st.
Louis Globe Democrat With the advent
of September. after the R-less months of
May, June, July and August, the Attain
tic coast, all the way from Long Island
Sound down to the tip of Florida, be-
comes a scene of wild animation all due
to the silent but delightful oyster.
1t is only proper at this precise season
of the year that some detailed attention
should be paid by the newspaper reading
and oyster-eating public to this enjoyable
product of the ocean, which, for the next
eight months will do such valiant service
on the tables of the rich and poor alike.
Commands have sometimes been
shocked by the thought that perhaps the
osyter would some day become extinct.
But they should not worry. The mater
nal instinct is developed in the lady oyster
to rare degree. Every year she produces
60, oOO 600, eggs which, in three years
time will have grown sufficiently to adorn
the table of a millionaire. There is a
goodly proportion of females among these
&C, 900, 600, and before they have been
scooped up in the merciless dredge, they,
too. will have contributed their quota to
the oyster population.
The great oyster producing section lies
between the southern point OF New Jer-
sey and half way down the. North caro-
lima coast. South of that the osytels are
even more plentiful than above but they
have not been farmed and cultivated as
carefully.
In the regular oyster communities, that
is the villages and small towns supported
by the osyber industry, and there are
scores of them, the care OF the oyster IS
officially regulated by an association OF
which all the oysterlnen are members.
Each colony has it's annual meeting for
the election of officers. The captain of
each boat obtains yearly license from
the collector of the association, the usual
charge being 81 per ton for the burthen
of his craft. The association protects the
osyter farms from the depredations OF
outsiders. and sees that none of the MEM
bers take unfair advantage of the Others
Five hundred boats make up prosper.
Gus colony, each craft carrying a crew OF
four men. Large forces of men are en-
ployed by the shippers on shore so that
in small place the oyster gives employ
ment to l, 500 or 8, 600 men. They make
fair earnings and, in the main, are Old
