be on an even footing.
In hot weather week is long
stretch and half day free from labor

a day of rest. but half of Saturday
brings opportunity for diversion IN
which most persons will not indulge on
Sunday.
The plan works well elsewhere. It
would work as well in Wheeling us any
where else. We believe that In other
cities 1t has been found that under the
stimulus of the Saturday half-hoIIday
as much work is accomplished in five
days and n half as could be accomplish
ed IN six whole hot days.

COL, CoCKERILL,


New York Evening World: Colonel
Cockerill was man who commanded
In no ordinary degree the admiration
and affection OF those with whom he
came in contact. He was n most at
tractiVe companion, an earnest, sincere
man, and warm friend. He had
filled several important newspaper pO-
sitIons and had distinguished himself in
all.
New York Herald: His letters from
the Orient will be, when collected, n
splendid memorial to his clear Drained
Judgment, his deep insight into eastern
life and politics, his truthfulness and
his thorough AmericanIsm. He re-
manned to the end OF his career as fear
less us he was when, as o boy hardly
in his teens, he led an Ohio regiment
as drummer boy into the thick Of one
of the early battles Of the war,
New York Daily News: Had he
lived he would undoubtedly have be-
come a much more familiar and impos-
ing figure In the eyes of the American
public than he was. His death Is, there
fore national loss, us well as pro-
feSSlonal one. Among the hundreds in
this city who knew him there will be
many tears shed over his passing away,
=
time after his mortal remains have
been consigned to their last resting
place.
New York Mail and Express: His
labor in his profession was as varied as
1t was distinguished. He never be-
trayed q trust, and held without falter-
ing to the convictions which moved his
pen. Witty, eloquent and inclslve, his
judgment was as keen us his loyalty
was steadfast. He made bitter ene-
niles. as such man must, but the bit-
terest among them will at least place
upon the dead mans bier a tribute OF
respect to besmoIstened by the tears Of
thousands. Journalism has lost a
giant, and mighty heart is lying still
In a strangers land.
New York Commercial Advertiser:
He was in every sense Of the term one
Of the great editors Of modern news
papers. He was n strong writer, a
deep thinker, conscientious worker
and an unfaillng friend. His record is
one OF the brightest pages In American
Journalism. He dignihed the profession
by his splendid work and glorious
achievements. While he had risen to
positions Of great power and usefulness.
had he lived 1t is quite certain he would
have gone on still higher, and he would
have been one Of the foremost factors
In the work OF undermining. uplifting,
purifying and making still nobler and
greater the American newspaper press.

Balllngton Booth, goaded by old man
Booth and his representatives in this
country, tells ut last why he Withdrew
from the Salvation Army rather than
give obedience to orders which his con-
science could not approve.
The point of his statement ia that
General Booth was determined to root
out the American spirit in the army In
this country, and to make sure OF ac-
complaining this intended to annex the
United States to Canada, lie has no
use for this country except to draw
money from 1t.
BRlllngton Booth and his excellent wife
have done just the right thing This
country Is too big to annex to Canada.
1t is too self-respecting to be run as
General Booth wanted to run It.. It
takes naturally to people who show the
true American spirit and Balllngton
Booth and his wife are distinctly this
kind Of people.

From Manufacturers Record: Mr..
StuyVesant Fish, president OF the I'LL
nois Central Railroad Company, who
has done so much for southern adj
Vancement. and who has always given
the south full credit for the great work
which It's own people have done in
times past. as well as for what they are
trying to do at present, in a personal
letter to Mr.. Richard H. Edmonds. edl-
tor OF the Manufacturers Record,
makes reference to the work of the
south which we take the liberty Of
publishing. In the course Of letter on
the efforts Of the south to build rail-
roads In early days, he says;
Anyone who has had to do with the
management Of southern railways
built before the war. as have, cannot
fall to appreciate the interest which the
southern people took in the develop
ment OF the country through such
mems. doubt II there is. anywhere,
such an example as that Of the old Mis-
sisEippI Central railroad. which was
built from Canton, Miss, to jackson,
Tenn. through n sparsely settled coun-
try. having but an Indifferent soil, and
without any conveniences except the
fortunes, brgsns and courage Of the pro-
moterB living along the line. How they
during the years from 1852 to 1859 as
see before me every time | go over the
rnAd is a mystery which have never
been able to golve. Bear In mind that
they had no land grant, no government
aid and but a pnltry loan from the
state, and there was neither seaport,
nor a manufacturing town. nor dis
tributinE center. on the whole line. In
deed there was not n town with 5000
Inhabitants on 1t from end to end"
In what striking contrast IL this
hearty coumendatIou, from one of the
business leaders of America, OF the en-
ergy of the old south when put along
side OF come of the criticisms OF the
narrow,minded people who know so
little OF what the south did. and who
are unwilling to give 1t credit for the
energy and enterprise which 1t dis
played in nnte-bcllum days. It is
strange that some men are willing to
admit that Il took four years to con-
quer section which, according to their
Views, had neither energy nor enter
prise. How much broader Is the man
who, like President Fish. freely admits
that this great section. peoplGd by the
. same Anglo Saxon race as the north,
was mighty factor In this nations
progress III the past: that It was be-
cause 1t wns inhabited by such people
that It made such n tremendous fight
for what It believed to be right, and
that now this same people. recovering
at last from the overwhelming dlsas-
tiers Of the war, will lead the whole
country In the final struggle for the adj
vanccment OF this country TO n position
in the brotherhood OF nations far above
all others on earth.

som. 1nformntlon for ! Frlena.

Somebody must have been playing
practical Joke on the Register, other
wise 1t might not have had such fun
ny article on the election Of the delegates
to the Republican national convention.
Mr.. Henry Baer has at no time been a
candidate for delegate to the national
convention or any other political con-
vention so far as we are aware.
1t seems impossible for the Register
to understand that Mr.. Brady and Mr..
schmulbach have not aspired to the
same honor. Mr.. Brady wished to be a
delegate-at-large, Mr. schmulbach n
district delegate. Their interests clash
ed because It is not expected that two
delegates will be chosen from Ohio
county, and each desired naturally
enough to make his own calling and
election sure. AS Mr.. Brady had with
drawn before the Registers publica-
ton, there is no likelihood OF the colli-
sion between him and Mr.. Schmulbach
to which the Register was looking with
so keen relish. The Register will be
much relieved to know that 1t is mis-
taken also in the notion that there is n
scheme to make the editor OF the-Intel-
lIgenoer delegate-at-large. The per-
son here spoken of has not been, is not
and will not be a candidate for that
honor; nor will he be delegate in the
Republican national convention. II he
desired to be delegate he would take
pot-luck and hope for the best.
1t is well understood by Republicans
In the district and in the state that the
editor of the Intellisencer thinks Ohio
county should be content with one dele
gate. There is very general agreement
in the county as to the man to be
chosen.
AS to the broader question of the pre-
ference Of Ohio county Republicans and
Of West Virginia Republicans, that is
Overwhelmingly for Mckinley without
any working UP. The sentiment has
taken deep root in every county and
overruns the state. There has never
been so pronounced preference In
West Virginia for any presidential can
dldate.
West Virginia Republicans are fond
of Major Mckinley. believe in him and
will send to the national convention
twelve men who will vote for him.
Major Mc4linley is likely to be nomi-
mated before West Virginia Is reached
on the call OF states. but West virginia's
delegates will be there for him just the
same.
Does the Register think 1t a wicked
thing for the Intelligencer to agree with
the Republicans of West Virginia that
1t is their right to send to the national
convention men who will represent their
sentiments and vote for the man of their
choice?
