Foreign Wool and wooIen,,

The American wool market presents a
peculiar situation. Wool in the hands
OF farmers and small local dealers Is
relatively higher than It is In the east.
Manufacturers can buy foreign wool at
less price than American woods can be
delivered for in eastern markets The
comparison Is made, OF course, on the
basis of the pound OF secured wool.
The trouble Is that the demand for
American wool is kept down not only by
im%portatlons OF wool, but lmportatlons
OF manufactures OF wool. Under the ex-
istlng tariff law. with It's lower duties
than those OF the Mckinley law, and Its
substitution Of ad valorem for specific
duties. the foreign manufacturer has an
advantage in our market. This means
that foreign labor and foreign wool have
the advantage over American labor and
American wool in the American mar
ket. This is not good business.
II the Republican party be pledged to
anything 1t IL pledged to re-
form this condition by reversing It.
Men and things American should have
the advantage over men and things for
elgn in the American market.

NnrIa ISarbcri's Case.

The second trial of Maria Barberl for
killing Domenico Cataldo Is progressing
in New York. It IS more Interesting
than the first trial because Of all that has
happened in the interval.
Thanks To the wife Of the warden of
the penitentiary in which the girl spent
more than a year-uncertain whether
che was to have a new trial or be put TO
death In the electric chair-she has now
some degree OF intelligence. can read and
write and speak broken English. She
also realizes more keenly the position
she is In
Maria Barberi has Just told on the
witness stand the story OF her relations
with DomcnIco Cataldo. It is the old.
old story. Cataldo courtcd the girl. be-
trayed her, promised to marry her, beat
her, treated her scornfully and made 1t
plain that he would not marry her. She
got a razor, as she says. to take her W
life. Meeting him and receiving the
same old treatment. In a frenzy OF mortl-
flcation and despa!d she killed her be-
trayer.
The theory of the defense is that the
girl ~ degenerate. Several eminent
scientists are watching her at the trial
and otherwise getting ready to testify
that, she knew what she was doing and
IS responsible for what she did. The
fact Is established that her family is
cursed with drunkenness and madness.
The law does not give n wronGed girl the
right 10 kill her betreyer. II It can be
shown 10 the satisfaction OF the jury that
this girl was not responsible atAhc time
che did the killing, her life will be
spared.
The probability Is that without the
help OF science the jury Will see that
Maria does not go to the electric chair.
When there Is a clear case OF betrayal
the human nature Of the twelve men in
the box usually asserts Itself. This
tlme Maria Barberi has friends whom
she did not have before, and her side OF
the case will be brought out for oil 1t Is
worth.
1t was wrong for this giri to kill, but II
. she tells the truth. what grlevous wrong
phe has suffered. And her betrayer
boas.ed In her hearing that she war his
sixth Victim. That brought him very
clpse to the wild beast. II It were GER
tain that every Catnldo would meet HIS
Barberl, there would not be so many
Cntaldos In the world.

HEALTH OF CITIES.
Impuriiy Of Water and what II COTS
The Proper Filtration,


Every large European city Is using
sand filters, which are the simplest and
best.
With a pure water supply. n fair death
rate from typhoid fever Is % per 100000
per annum.
In 1882 Hamburg lost S.605 citizens
from colera, which the health authorities
fastened on the water supply. This has
since been improved.
In sixteen cities with an aggregate Of
over 100000 residents, where alteration
would have saved seven or more lives
per 100000 annually, It would have saved
interest on q plant and operating eX-
penses.
Lawrence, Mass, with 1000 popula-
ton, built 4 filter costing $4,000, and 1t
Is figured saved enough lives, at 5000 a
head. tn pay the yearly interest on plant
n operating expenses the first four
months 1t was In use.
Computing $1,000 for each life lost I'M
necessarily by typhoid fever, in the seven
cities showing the excessive death rate
the price OF the filtration plant would be
paid for in the value Of the services OF
the persons thus saved inNone year.
By the United States census OF 1890,
only eight cities of over $4,000 population
had so low a death rate as % per ion, 900
per annun. while five cities OF over and
two Of under $4,000 population. had 100
deaths per LOO, 900. The remaining forty
II cities In this country Of over 1900
had rates varying from 2s to IS per 100.-
000.
From the pollution OF the water supply
through the eScrementa OF a single ty-
phoid fever patient. Plymouth, Pa, in
1855. with 5000 population. had 1,104 ty-
phoid fever cases and III deaths-in-
volving q loss In care OF the sick and for
wages lost of s97, 900, together with $751;
600 lost as the annual earnings OF those
who died.
Sand filtration IS emInently satisfac-
tory and practically nothing more than
excavations. over whose bottom Is
placed a layer or two OF gravel and then
sand. The water percolates through
sand and gravel into drains underlying
the latter. which collect Impurities, re-
moving rs per cent OF the bacteria and
delivering the water remarkably clear
and free from mechanical impurities as
shown by chemical analysis.
| itants from typhoid fevec, about 20 per
100, 900. There should be no more than
| %. and, therefore. 10 OF these could have
been saved by filtration. One hundred
and seventy unnecessary typhiod fever
deaths. at $4,000 per head. represents O
loss of $3.50, 900. The first cost OF INSTALL
| ing a filter plant for Philadelphia would
be 49, 900. 1t would only have cost us
about 40 per cent,of that sS5O.00O to have
had 4 filter plant in operation, paying
operating expenses and interest on
| bonds.

Aspecimen Farming Community.

A correspondent Of the New York

sressional district az Minnesota as one
farming region in which the Bryan poll
ticians missed their guess. The dis
trlct Is distinctly agricultural. The
largest urban settlement In 1t is Man.
kato. with 10000 population. Next In
population Is New Ulm. with 400.
In It's day the district has been de-
vastated by Indians and grasshoppers,
In three previous elections 1t had shown
strong Popullstic tendencies" a fus.
ion scheme vas perfected In the district,
and from one Of its counties was taken
the fusion nominee for governor. In
1894 the district went Republican by o
little owe 5000. This year It went for
Mckinley by 10 1000.
In the next campaign the P%opocratic
politicians will have to try to fool some
body else. The farmers are not the gud-
geons they mistook them for.

WHEELING. NOVEMBER as, 1896.


One of the provisions OF the proposed
city charter Is made the subject OF IN
terviews with as many members OF the
charter committee as I~ntellIsencer re-
porters could reach yesterday. These
interviews will be found In another COL
umn. The provision has to do with
franchise granted by the city. It Is as
follows:
Sixth-The Council shall, In suitable
practicable terms. make 1t an express con-
dition OF the grant OF any such franchise.
where It Is for work that Is useful chiefly
to the local public. that at the expiration
OF such franchise. the grantee shall. II re-
CURED by the Council. sell and transfer
TO another person or company. to be desig-
mated by the Council. the physical plant.
at what Il is then worth. Independent OF
any value based upon the earning power
thereof; and 1t may also provide a means,
by arbitration or otherwise. for deter
mining that such value OF the plant
may be.
Not all OF the committeeman seen have
a clear idea of the meaning OF this pro-
vision. Not all of them approve it. One
explains that It Is intended to cover such
a case as that of the old gas works; but
in that case provision was made for SELL
ing the plant to the city.
Under the provision above quoted the
terms apply TO any franchise where It
Is for work that Is useful chiefly to the
local public" whatever that may mean.
AT the expiration OF such franchise. the
grantee, that is the person or company
having the franchise, may be required
by the council to sell Its plant ito an
other person or company to be desig-
mated by the council. The physical
plant" is to be sold for its value at that
time. This Is quite different from say
ing that the city may take the plant at
an appraised valuation.
Council is to select the purchaser, and
that cuts out all competition. 1t is o n
ceivahle that in that day there may be
something OF great Waite operated I'M
der a city franchise and much coveted by
another person or corporation. which
person or corporation might find a ma
jority of the council ready to do a stroke
OF private business for a consideration.
Is this a proper power to give council?
Unless this provision ian be made to
look better than any member Of the COM
mittee makes /; look in the interviews
published to-day, we think 1t will prove
a heavier load than the new charter can
carry before the people.

United Republicans OF West Virginia.
The Intelllgencer is glad to assure Its
good friend, the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
that there Is no fractional warfare
among West Virginia Republicans.
There is not a state In which the Repub-
lIcan party Is freer from faction than it
IS in West Virginia.
The victory In West Virginia has been
won by a united party. which knows
that the way to win more victories Is to
keep united. The distribution Of the
Offices will doubtless dlsappoint some
good men, for there are more deserving
Republicans than there are offices; but
this disappointment is not likely to
breed faction.
When We so into the next campaign in
West Virginia the Republican party will
be found. as 1t has been found before,
lined up in a solid body. 1t will be
somewhat more enthusiastic than in the
past, for It knows its strength and will
have the encouragement OF the sweep
Ing victories OF '94 and '96. Victory is a
great stimulant.
