Telephone Completed.

The telephone line from Gen. Nc
Causland's residence about IS miles
up the Kanawha to Henderson, was
completed yesterday. c. H. Will
Jams, lineman for the Western
Union Telegraph Co., put up the
line. There are five stations along
the line, although it is a private en-
terprise of Gen. McCausland d $.
The telephone works perfectly and
satisfactorily. When completed, and
ready for use, a piano was played
in Gen. McCausland's house, which
was distinctly heard at the office in
Henderson.
Last night the Point Pleasant
String Band went over to Hender-
son and serenaded Gen. McCaus
land over the line; and from his
home he acknowledged the compli-
ment.
The success ofthis telephone re-
fleets credit upon Mr.. c. Fl. Will
Jams as a mechanic and electrician.

An Mere Interested.

1t was just a little amusing TO
watch the people who passed the
front door of the Register office
yesterday, afternoon, read the
bulletin telling of the adverse deci.
sion of the Supreme Court in the in
come tax case. The smaller the ap-
parent income of the reader, the
more interest he appeared to take
in the announcement that the law
was dead letter, and after a news
paper man, messenger boy, and
two or three others of like limited
resources had expressed their deep
satisfaction, the climax was reached
when two young colored men, rag
ged and picturesque as to raiment,
slowly spelled out the announce
ment, and then one of them said:
"Golly, ain'L de Cote sockin' it to

business situation are entirely free
from partisan bias For this reason
the Independent Washington Post
regards the numerous Republican
editorial admissions, which it pub
fishes. that good times are here, as
possessing more than ordinary val
ne and significance. For instance
the declaration of the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat that call the signs
show that the business recovery has
set in is likely to be permanent, is
extremely encouraging. 1t implies
approval of the tariff enacted by the
last Democratic Congress. Another
Western Republican paper, the
Minneapolis Journal, finds that "the
times are not nearly SO hard as they
used to be-" 1t prints interviews
with a large number of jobbers in
that thriving city as to the condi-
tion of trade. "The story" it says,
ais all one way" The jobbers are
uniformly gratifed with the con-
dition of things, and the increase in
their business is estimated all the
way from 10 to 40 per cent, condi-
tions being more favorable 10 some
lines than in others. The peculiar
ly encouraging feature of the case
is the case with which collections
are made. The merchants are not
only selling goods, but they are get
ting the money for them, and they
are also getting money for goods
sold previous to this time"
The Pittsburg Times is another
Republican witness testifying to the
happy change. 1t finds that
"The panic is a thing of the past,
and the country is on the high road
to prosperity. OLD enterprises are
showing fresh life, new ones are un-
der way, and confidence is steadily
rising This is not to say that the
time for caution has passed, that any
prices asked will be received or any
wages demanded paid. 1t is only
TO say that the fever has been brok-
en-, and that the patient is rapidly
gaining strength. With reasonable
caution and patience the complete
recovery is merely a question of
time, and not necessarily long time.
In Pittsburg, if in any city, the
new tariff would now be performing
the work of ruin and destruction
that Republican calamity organs
and orators predicted. But instead
of irremediable disaster we find this
organ of high tariff asserting that
"compIete recovery" is not far off.
The New York Tribue cheerfully
admits that a substantial improve
ment in business has already ap
peared." 1t makes the claim, how
ever, that the business revival is
due to the defeat of the Democrats
last fall. Commenting upon this
assertion of the Tribune,
the Washington Post points out that
the Republicans in the coming Con
gress will not have, however, to do
anything in the way of legislation
without the help of Populist Sena-
tors and the consent of President
Cleveland. A partisan disturbance
of the tariff is therefore, effectually
guarded against for some years to
come To this fact quite as much
as to any other cause may be attri
buted the cheering business indiea-
tions that are noted by our Repub-
lican contemporaries East and West.
