It occurs TO the Register. and We
are sure. upon reflection, it will occur
to others. that the proposed city ordi-
nance designed TO prohibit the appear
ance of children of both sexes upon the
streets after nine o'clock in the even
ing is wrong i'm principle and would be
most unjust i'm practice. 1t would be
an infringement of personal rights not
in keeping with American ideas of
freedom. and would serve no good pur-
pose except to- have the City Council
officially declare, 10y it's enactment, that
the conditions of life in Wheeling,
brought about by the non-enforcement
of existing police regulations, are such
that it isn't safe for young children
to DE abroad after dark
That the ladies and gentlemen who
are agitating for the enactment of
"curfew" ordinance mean we'll, there
can be no doubt. That they are at
lacking the wrong end of the existing
situation. there can also be no doubt.
Let us reason together a little about
this matter.
The allegation is, we believe, that il
young children so about the streets at
night. they Will fall into evil ways.
Whose children? And what evil
ways
Would not the same argument apply
to ladies. because they might be in
suited? Or TO men, because they
might be robbed2
are young children so frail in NOR
ais? Or are the streets such breeding
places OF vice?
on the contrary. is it not almost uni
versaly true that the young people
who take to evil ways are well out Of
the years Of childhood-boy of sew
enteen and upwards and girls of tif-
teen and beyond? And isn't it equally
a fact that the evil these young people
encounter is not so much upon the
brilliantly lighted streets as within
the walls Of certain buildings not occu-
pied as residences? And if there be
Communicating influences upon the
streets. do they not very largely come
from the hundreds Of sidewalk stat
ues. whose indiscriminate eXpectora-
tion OF tobacco juice and foul and bias
phemous language make the passage
along Market and some other streets,
of a pleasant evening. something akin
TO running the gauntlet in Hades?
Does il not somewhat depend upon the
existence Of the women OF the town,
who VIGOROUSLY ply their vocation
every evening? Does it not, in some
degree at least depend upon the night
~ revels in the vicinity Of alley c and
some other streets and alleys? Or
upon the scenes and incidents common
to the vicinage Of the Second ward mar

CAPT. D0VENER
Talks About the Trip to San Fran
cisco, and the Extra Session Of
COngreSS-.-lS Home from Washing
ton on Business Matter.

Capt. b. b. Dovenep came home from
Washington Saturday 20 give his atten-
ton to a number of legal matters. All the
legislation directly affecting his constitu-
euts has been acted upon in the lower
house. Yesterday he talked to reporter
for the Register concerning the proposed
trip 10 San Francisco. Capt. Dovener
stated that the trip viii probably be made
at the time the Wheeling" Is placed in
commission and not when the boat is
launched If the hull alone is launched.
the committee will not 90 to San Fran
cisco until the latter part of April or the
first of May. j, is hardly likely that the
trip will be made until that time as the
guuboat cannot be completed sooner.
Congressman Dovencr expects the extra
session TO be called about March 18th.
This is the genera. understanding among
the members. The tariM bin has been in
course of preparation since December, and
Capt. Dovener is OF the opinion that 1t will
so through the House within four weeks.
Ee is slightly dubious however, concern
ing the action OF the Senate.

PETIT LARCENY CHARGED.

Jacob Sanders, a Fulton young man
about eighteen years of age, was ar
rested yesterday by Waterman Row,
for stealing a bunch of electric wire
worth about S1.25 at the Whitaker mill.
He was taken before Squire Rogers,
who fined him so and costs. In de-
fault of the fine he was sent to Jail for
ten days. He was placed in Jail, but
had not been there more than an hour
until his father came into Squire Rog-
ers' office crying, and announced that
the prisoners younger brother had
died. He had died while his older
brother was being tried for stealing.
In consideration of the circumstances
the Squire suspended judgment and
