National Committeeman Wallace Boonss
ClereIdnd for a Third Term.
TACOMA, WASH, March 31.-Hugh G.
Wallace, member from this State of the
Democratic National Committee and the
Democratic caucas nominee for United
States Senator in the last Legislature, re-
turned last night from two months trip
to New York and New England.
Wallace says the fight next year will be
made almost exclusively on the money
question. There will be more or less new
alignment of parties. The consensus OF
opinion, he says, is that Cleveland will be
the nominee of the Democratic party.
While the idea of again occupying the ex-
ecutive chair would be utterly distaste-
full to him, it is believed the people will
force his nomination as the great exponent
of sound money.

DIR EXPORTS

During the present season the crop
statisticians are widely at variance in
their estimates of the production Of
wheat in this country, but conservative
authorities admit the probability of a
yield sufficient TO afford a surplus for
export of anywhere from 100000 to
145.OOO.OOO bushels. The latter is ap-
proximately the quantity of wheat and
its equivalent in -four that was exported
On the crop year just ended. This total
was largely exceeded in the three pre-
ceding years. but not nearly equaled in
the three years prior to 1891; and the
average annual exports for seven years
have been about 14LO0OOOO bushels.
If the estimates of Statistician Tho
man and others should prove to be
nearly correct. it would appear that, in
spite of the acknowledged deficiency in
the winter wheat output, this country
would be in a position during the COM
ing year to contribute about the annual
average quantity of wheat and -four
toward the requirements of importing
countries. Should the corn crop turn
ont to be anything like as large as it
now promises the increase in exports OF
that cereal and Of its meat and lard
products would greatly exceed those of
any recent year. Cotton, too, promises
a production in excess of the pessimis-
tie prophesies Of the early planting sea-
son.
AZ the higher level of values exports
win yield a larger money return than
did those of last year. 1t is not i'm
probable. therefore. that the trade re-
vival, which has already swollen and is
likely to sdu further expand the do
nestle exchanges, viii be substantially
evidenced in its foreign business also.
This is the more likely in view Of the
opportunity which the removal Of tariff
distinctions has afforded for an in
crease in the exports of manufactured
goods as well as Of the products Of the
farm.

OIL NEWS.

There are now three producing wells
in the Cow Run sand on Broad run, in
Peasants county. One flows and is
doing 125 barrels a day. The other
two are doing about fifty barrels per
day each Two more are drilling.
This establishes Broad run as a good
oil field in the shallow sand.
The Caldwell well, on Cooper, be-
low st. Mary's, is a dandy" in the
Big Injun. This we'll belongs to R. G..
Caldwell, and he has made three other
locations in the immediate vicinity.
Work on the Gale well, above st.
Mary's. was begun yesterday.
Business is assuming a lively aspect
about st. Mary's. A great many prom
inent oil men are there, and each train
brings more. Oil leases command good
prices. There is still plenty Of good
oil territory Unbiased in Peasants coun-
".
The old oil well at Red Hill, Wood
county. which was abandoned several
years ago. is being cleaned out and VIII
be pumped The owners are sanguine
the well will make a splendid pro-
ducer.
The Kanawha Oil Company's well, on
the C. W. Smith farm, which was drill
ed TO the sand some days ago, was
drilled in yesterday and got nothing
but a little gas. This well is located
near Wick, in Tyler county, and was
important.
The runs from the Sistersville field
Yesterday as reported by the pipe line
companies were 1864 barrels. The
receipts of the Mellon lines were 1917
barrels. and those of the Eureka l2,VtI
barrels.
NcManus & Keatings well, on the
b. T. Gorrel farm. out on Middle ISL
and. was drilled into the Big InJun
sand yesterday, but no oil was found.
There is lots of water in the we'll and
a little gas. At a late hour last even
ing nothing further had developed.
The we'll on the Starbuck farm, near
COlerain. still continues to flow con-
siderable oil and some gas and water.
A conservative estimate Of the produc-
ton of the well places it at about 10
barrels a day. It is flowing into
$50 barrel tank. and when it has been
thoroughly cleaned out Will proDaOly
make a better showing.
Since the results of the shooting Of
the oil we'll at Colerain, company is
in progress of organization at Bridge
port Robert Stead. who is leading the
affair. is about hunting the business
men and trying to persuade them TO
take stock in the concern. About
81 900 has been subscribed at this time,
and if the good work keeps on no doubs
the affair will be a go" The well win
be put down near the National pike

TIE Spots eRARnERs

The Intelligence speaks cOntemptu-'
ously Of "the suggestion made through
the Register that Democrats viii vote
against the loan ordinance because Of
the tilt of Republican Councilmen with
the chief Of the fire department.
Oh. it was mere tilt" was it2 How,
ever. the proposition TO deprive the
Chief Of the Fire Department of the
important and necessary power of APP
pointing his own subordinates, for
whose conduct he is responsible, which
would involve the sacrifice of the disci-
pline Of this department. in which dis
cipline Is most essential and would
turn it into a political machine, was
regarded by Democrats as q good deal
more important and far reaching in its
consequences than a mere "tilt' be-
tween the Chief and Councilmen. It
was looked upon as a savage and con-
scienceless attempt TO grab the spoils
Of office at whatever cost to the welfare
and efficiency of the Fire Department
and the rights Of the people and prop
erty owners 1t is easily conceivable
that Democrats and honest and decent

THE CENTENNIAL
Of the Formation of the Town Gov
eminent of Wheeling
To Be Celebrated at Mozart Park
on the 23d Inst.-The Plans for a
Big Event All Perfected, and the
Details Being Carried Out.

A celebration of the centennial ami
versary of meeting, held at the home
of Joseph Caldwell, July %, 1875, TO
take the initial step to form a town
government at this point, will be held,
on large scale, at Mozart Park, week
from next Tuesday, and promises to
attract a large number of people to that
resort
At the meeting of first settlers above
referred to, John McIntyer, Andrew
Woods, Henry Smith, Archibald
Woods, James Nelson, Robert Woods,
Abraham Martin, and William Waddle,
gentlemen, were selected as trustees for
the proposed town, which was to be
called Wheeling. Lots were according
ly laid off, on lands of Ebenezer Zane,
and at the session of the Virginia Leg
islature, held the following winter, an
Act was passed, on Christmas day,
1875. formally constituting the town,
with the above trustees, who were en-
powered TO settle all disputes as TO the
bounds of lots, and purchasers OF said
lots were "to have and enjoy all the
rights. privileges and immunities
which the freehOlders and inhabitants
of other towns in this State, not incor-
porated, hold and enjoy" as soon as tha
said lots should have houses built
thereon.
That was the formal and lawful be-
ginning of the present city Of Wheeling
and it is the centenary Of the first
meeting of the settlers which it is pro-
posed TO celebrate on the 23d inst.
1t is proposed 10 open the day with a
salute Of artillery, ringing Of bells, etc,
at midnight on the 22d. The pro-
gramme at Mozart Park will open at
noon. and during the afternoon there
will be a mass-meeting there, Mayor
Caldwell presiding, at which addresses
are to be made by Congressman Dove
ner. Hon. John o. Pendleton. Hon. John
A. Howard. DR.. c. f. Ulrich, in Ger
man, and Hon G. w Atkinson. Day
light fireworks upon an elaborate
scale will follow, and in the evening
there will be a pyrotechnical display of
very considerable magnitude. Dancing,
bowling. and other amusements will be
provided
The details of the affair are in COM
petent and energetic hands, and many
of the arrangements have already been
made. ensuring one of the largest times
ever seen in this city.

THE TREASURY AND THE HowLERs

THE TREASURY AND TIE HOWLERS.
The calamity howlers who appear to
have slipped their governor belts and
are running wild these days. are still
trying to make something out Of the
nominal deficit i'm the treasury. But
no one familiar with the financial his
tory Of the country since the sherman
Silver Purchase act viii be alarmed by
these exhibitions of partisan clamor.
The Harrison Administration left the
country in a frightful financial mud
die. Under the Sherman act national
bankruptcy was threatened; and even
after the repeal the credit Of the nation
remained dangerously impaired. Gold
was constantly leaving the country,
and we had reached that stage in
financial folly when confidence abroad
was ready TO be withdrawn and with
held. Our credit came perilously near
becoming absolutely worthless and q
mockery among our commercial neigh
bors. since that time. however. through
the firm. courageous measures Of the
present Administration. confidence
abroad and at home has returned and
our national credit has been saved.
To the miserable politician who can
see nothing beyond the narrow limits
Of personal or partisan advantage the
condition of the treasury may present
an opportunity to make some palry
and short lived party capital; but TO
the sensible citizen who understands
how the credit Of the government has
been fearlessly maintained by the
Democratic Administration. the present
financial situation Of the nation Will be
regarded most hopefully.

OUR CITY FINANCES.

Speaking Of the loan which this re
form" Council has been forced to ask
the people to sanction in order to coven
up the Iooseness. extravaganza and
gross incompetence Of its management Of
the city's finances, the Intelligencer,
which was some time ago worsted in an
effort to SHIFT the blame for the dis
graceful situation onto the last Demo-
cratic Council, foolishly returns to the
charge after a long and discreet silence
as follows:
Democratic administration made the
situation which requires more money,
IL is a loan or a levy. Council JnousnC
a loan the best. II the people prefer az
increased tax levy 10 dig the city OUT OF
the hole dug 10y the Democrats, levy II
viii have 10 DE.
Here we find the same old inclination
to blame the shortcomings OF this
soIidly Republican reform" Council on
its Democratic predecessor, in the face
Of the fact that the Intelligencer and
the Republican leaders were ignOmin-
iously beaten and utterly routed from
that false position when they attempted
to assume it at the outset.
In this connection their mendacity
and ignorance have been equally aston
ishing and incredible.
The last administration left a surplus
in the city treasury. The sum total OF
the items, bond interest, etc, carried
over from last year amounted 10 no
more than that carried over from year
to year for the past half dozen years,
and these items might have been
handled quite as easily this year as
they were last.
Not until now, when we have a
soidIy Republican reform" Council,
has it been found necessary to borrow
money to meet the ordinary running ex-
penses Of the city government
The cause Of the situation is plain.
tt is due to nothing but the gross in
competence and blind and reckless ex-
uavagance Of the present Council,
which ran for half the year on the es-
Inmates Of the despised Democratic
Council and is now, with the year
more than half gone. running along on
appropriations made from month to
month-an unheard of proceeding.
The last Council was not a body OF
Solomons. but it was wisdom persona
ned compared with the present body.
The last Council was about equally di-
gfdad between Democrats and Repub-
licans. and while the Republican organ
is engaged in blaming the present fnan-
ciaI situation on that body We would re-
specuully call its attention to the fact
that the Chairman OF the Finance Com@
mittee of the last Council, and the man
who governed and had complete con-
troll of all its acts. was Mr.. James P.
Maxwell, a Republican leader, now
President Of the Second Branch, whose
thorough knowledge Of city finances
must cause him severe pains as he notes
the antics of the present asinine body.
So our friends. the enemy, may take
which ever horn Of the dilemma they
choose. They cannot escape the re
sDOnsibility.
