TIE NEW SCHOOL BOARD.

Clarksburg w. Va, June 27.-At the
last school election w. r. Alexander
defeated w. c. McKeehan for school
commissioner of the Clarksburg indie
pendent school district At the previous
election Oliver p. Boughard was elected
so that now, upon the organization Of
the Board on next Monday, Boughner
and Alexander, the two new members,
will constitute a majority of the Board.
Consequently there is considerable
speculation as to who the teachers will
be for the ensuing year at the North
western Academy. AS usual, there are
three times as many applications as
there are positions to be filed. The in
terest in the school fight seems TO center
around the selection of a superintendent
for the public schools. Among those
spoken of are Prof. John G. Githings. on
this city, Prof. Corberly. the present
incumbent, and Mr.. Roster, formerly
county superintendent OF schools in
Harrison county. If We judge from the
voice Of the people, there will be no
question but that Mr.. Githings will
carry off the plum. AS to the first and
second assistant principals for the
school, no doubt, the Board will confer
with the superintendent, who they may
choose, and select good men. The con-
test for the first place is between Mr..
Morrison and Mr. Romine.

Yesterday, for the first time in at
least a generation, the old city reser-
vOir on the extension Of Chapline
street. played no part in furnishing the
city with water for potable purposes,
the entire supply for the day being
drawn from the new reservoir. This
was made possible by putting into ser
vice the new regulator, lately placed in
position on the principal main leading
TO the new reservoir, and located on
Seventh street, just east of Market.
This regulator is an immense mass Of
iron and steel, weighing three tons and
a quarter, and hauling it up to Seventh
street and placing it in position was a
job which presented very considerable
difficulties, but they were successfully
overcome by superintendent Varney
and his men, and everything was in
shape last Friday to put the appliance
TO work. II was then discovered that
there was a flaw in the casting, and a
delay Of several days elapsed while
heavy band was made and placed in
position. Yesterday morning every
thing was in readiness, and the water
was turned on through the regulator,
from the new reservoir, the entire city
below Seventh street being given an adj
ditional pressure of from twelve TO
twenty pounds. No reports of broken
pipes had bee received up to last even
ing, and the pressure will be gradually
increased for a day or two, by way of
experiment. The regulator worked to
charm yesterday, responding nicely
to the changes caused by the varying
consumption. Last night a Waterman
was stationed at the regulator, and he
will probably be kept there for some
time. A small brick building will be
erected over the regulator in a short
time.

There is something of a feeling. in
view of the continued heavy consump-
ton of water in this city, that the
Water Board would have done well TO
have put in two 100000 gallon
pumps when the new station was erect
ed, instead Of the 100000 pumps which
We're put in. The daily consumption is
now over 100000 gallons, and one
pump cannot do the work. This is only
the ordinary demand, and a big fire
runs the consumption up to very much
higher figures. 1t is stated that two
12,OOO,OOO capacity pumps would have
cost but little more than those
purchased, and the prediction
has been made that unless
the consumption is cut down, the next
three or four years will make a new
and larger pumping machine an abso-
lutte necessity. The fact is, that Wheel
ing consumes great deal more water
per capita than most of the cities of the
country, and more than twice as much
as some of them, and there will either
have to be some restriction on the
amount used, or additional pumping ia
cilities secured.

inspection of the main when it was cut
ut the upper end of the wharf about siH
weeks ago, to make the change made
necessary by the erection of the new
"Pewiky'' railroad station, showed that
the capacity of the pipe had been de-
creased almost one-half by accumula-
lions of rust. 1t now has about the ca
pacity of new six-inch pipe, and a
big fire on the Island would be apt to
show that that portion of the city is
sleeping in false security, and relying
upon broken reed. A new pipe, not
less than fifteen inches in diameter,
ought to be laid at once, from the foot
OF Eighth street to North Front street,
and the big bar which now stretches
almost across the river, in seasons of
low water, at that point, would make
the job comparatively easy one. The
superintendent, and at least one mem
Der OF the Water Board, are alive to the
necessity for this Improvement, and it
ought to be undertaken before big fire
comes along.

THE BOOK TRUST.

There Is no more conspicuous feat
ure of business, as row being con
Quoted, than the tendency to form
trusts to the exclusion and destruction
Of competition 1t is now impossible
to turn in any direction without en-
countering this octopus in some one of
its infinite forms provided only one has
his eyes really open. In another part
of the Inter-O:ean of to-day may be
found an exposure of one of the very
worst specimens Of this devijfish to
be found in the country, the American
book trust. The particular field Of
operation covered by tht So details IS
the State of Virginia, but the trust
itself Is confined to no State, and ex
tends from Oregon to Maine. Its
proper name would be the American
School Book Trust, for the publications
1t deals in are the text books of our
public schools. The expo ure is one
that deserves 60 be carefully examined
With q view to similar danger right

bach's affidavit. The damage done our
mining interests by the characterization
| of silver was small in comparison 10
that done u farming interests by 10"
| ering the price of u products, such as
wheat cotton. etc. Our silver bullion
was virtually left for the Jews OF Lon
don to set a price upon. Our farm
products we're governed by the market
value of silver bullion, while those
of India were governed by the coming
value. Thus in 1878, an ounce OF silver
was worth in London at lee st 81 20, and
a buskel of wheat was worth 81 %
But when silver bullion fell to say rs
cents, wheat aIsj fell to rs cents. Dur
ing all this time the people Of India re
ceived the coin value Of an ounce of
silver for a bushel of wheat, which was
over 81 50 per bushel, silver bullion be
ing generally rated in Europe and
India at Is to II of gold, instead Of Is
to 1, as here. This was equivalent TO
about 81 80 per bushel for India wheat,
when our farmers were receiving Is
cents, or less. This had the effect to
vastly increase the production of wheat
in India and to correspondingly dapress
our farming interests. The same ap
pile to cotton and other products.
Now the diff3reace between the bull
lion value and coming value of silver
was a clear profit to those who were in
the trade, and I have seen it stated that
the Jews of london, in this way, reaped
an annual harvest of $50, 600 900, shorn
mainly off our farmers and producers
There lie another feature of the de-
monetization swindle to which l wish
to call attention.
In 1874 the United States Statutes at
large were revised and condensed
The most positive assurances were
given by Gen. Butler, and others, that
great pains had been taken not to
change any existing law. But after
the revision had been approved by
Congress it was found that an entire
S 'ction had been forged and incorpo-
rated into the revision, the following
being a copy:
SEC 1886. The silver coins of the
! United States shall be a legal tender at
their nominal value for any amount
not exceeding five dollars in any one
payment"
Not content to reduce our silver bull
lion to a commodity for the Jews of
London to prey upon, they must also
strike Dads dollar, regardless of the
means. From 1892 to 1873 about
s go, 900 silver dollars were coined. By
the above forgery these coins were linn
tied as a legal tender to sums not ex-
ceeding SIS.
