ployers to pull down wages in order that
they might compete with the shriveling
values of the world.
There was no such thing or could be
no such thing as international bimetaI-
ism. The value and standard Of money
was always through the centuries up TO
twenty years ago regulated by the nation
which produced the most gold and silver.
yet the boasted American craftsmanship
Of to-day was hidden beneath the skirts
of Queen Victoria. The speaker followed
the financial history of the country
through from the time of the adoption OF
the gold standard, and ended his splendid
address with the declaration that the
prices of human toll and the wages OF
labor would go down as long as the gold
standard remained. The prosperity and

Col Poorman's effort was greatly ap-

LANCE announced that Hon. Sep. Fall. OF
New Martinsville. would make an address
at the hall on next Saturday night, and
extended a cordial invitation for all TO
attend. Mr.. Hall happened TO be present
and was called out. He rendered every
person present an additional invitation 10

which he will deliver a lecture on the
financial question. illustrating his ideas

said that If the gold standard was con-

the audience that he would convince them
of this if they would be present on next
Saturday night.

TWO LITTLE MAITERS
Which VIII Illustrate the Necessity or a
New Engineering system.


Two recent happenings in this city
illustrates the great necessity for sal
aired and responsible City Engineer.
One was the miserable blunder made
in the patrol and ambulance building,
adjoining the Atlantic engine house;
the other is the very bad condition OF
the Market street bridge over the creek.
Had the proposed ordinance defining
the duties of the City Engineer been
in force when the project for the cree
ton Of the patrol building came up,
il would have been his duty TO examine
the plan and specifications. and have
approved them as meeting the require
ments of the case. As it was, the Coun-
Gil Committee, with the best intentions
in the world, Numbered, and the city
will pay the cost thereof, which will
amount to $500 or more.
In the case of the Market street
bridge, it is the old and familiar story
of the city spending big money for some
work Of public improvement. and then
allowing il TO go to destruction as
straight as it can go. Inspections Oh
such structures are never had; paint
is hardly ever" applied. and when it is
the work has no adequate supervision;
new floors are laid without proper pro-
vision for drainage away from the
metal; mud is allowed to accumulate
and lay for months and years against
important members of the bridge, with
the result that the structure is grossly
neglected. and grows weaker right
along, and in time has to be rebuilt or
torn down, at a cost Of a great many
thousand dollars, which the people pay
with more or less cheerfulness. A pri-
vate corporation like a railroad COM
pany does things differently. 1t has an
engineer, whose business it is to look
after certain things, and if he neglects
his work, the corporation gets another
and a better man. This city has many
hundreds of thousands of dollars in
works Of improvement. and they are
worth looking after. If there was no
other consideration, in the shape OF
new work, of surveys maps, plans, spec
ifications, supervision. etc. the move
ment for a salaried Engineer would be
a good one.

A WHEELING MAN
Killed Near Mcdonald, Pa, Friday Night
BY Train.


Information was received in the city
yesterday morning from Pittsburg that
Isadore Martin, an agent for the Rey-
mann Brewing Company, had been kill
ed by a work train on the Panhandle
railroad, near Mcdonald, at quarter
of nine o'clock Friday night.
Martin and a friend named Michael
Chadron were walking along the track
near a siding, at which an engine was
shifting some cars. They stepped out
of the way of one car which had been
shifted to the siding, but in doing so
got in front of another moving car on
the main track. Both men were struck,
and Martin was killed, while Chadron
had his left leg crushed between the
knee and hip, his right arm mashed
near the shoulder, his right fUot masn-
ed at the instep, and his head badly
hurt. His leg was amputated, but there
is little or no prospect of his recovery.
He is 40 years of age, married, and has
five children. He was a coal MINI,
and was employed at the National Goa
works, at Mcdonald. A brother Of Mr..
Martin went up to Pittsburg yesterday
morning and brought the remains to
this city.

Tariff Schedules IN the Senate.

Purely as politicians, Democrats are
not specially interested in having the
Dtngley bill. which is now in the hands
of the Senate, remodelled into econom-
ic decency. That enormous travesty
of protection run mad would have been
received with gust of laughter if cri-
ticism could dissocIate itself from the
personal pressure of the enormous in
terests involved. Never before was
ing forces, already we'll protected, run
amuck to kill the golden goose. Could
the Dingley crowd hare gotten their
bill passed on the original lines, there
would be no more powerful campaign
document for their opponents in the
next national canvass 1t is fortunate
for the Republicans that the more saga
cious minds in the Senate see the point
and are intervening to prevent the par
ty from committing hari-kari.
The four Republican members of the
Senatorial Finance Committee have
completed their work of reshaping the
bill. though it will not be formally pre-
sented for several days. 1t is said the
general reduction of rates as against
the House bill will be about 10 per
cent. Furthermore, 1t is claimed that
it will yield 20 per cent more of reven-
ue, and that on the whole the taxation
of the business interests OF the country
will be, if anything, somewhat less
than that enforced in the Mckinley
bill. Probably this. change for the bet
ter II all that could be expected from
a body ruled by protection majority.
1t is, however, quite certain that there
will be an attempt by the Democratic
Senators to sift the schedules very
thoroughly. even after the committees
handling, and to hammer down rates
still more.
The duty of the Democrats in the Sem
ate is to expose the weakness of the
Dingley bill, riddle its pretensions in
debate aud leave no boubt in the minds
of the people that the Democratic par
tv condemns it. That done, their duty
ends.-N Y. Journal

in its truest light. As he puts it,
neither Cleveland nor Watterson has
the least right to speak respecting
Democratic duty and prospects.
The Kentuckian's criticism of Cleve-
land is merited and accurate, but
what right, he asks, has Watterson to
complain of Cleveland? The fact that
Watterson's prediction in 1892 con-
corning Cleveland-that if nominated
he would lead the Democracy through
a slaughter-house to an open grave
has been partially fulfilled does not
give the newspaper prophet the right,
according to Mr.. OVermyer to denouuce
the stuffed prophet at this late date;
for the reason that Mr.. Watterson
joined forces with Cleveland in trying
to entomb the Democratic party after
it had passed the slaughter house stage
of It's journey.
If to-day the Democratic party is
stronger, more determined, more ag-
gressive and in better fighting trim
than ever it was it is not due to Mr..
Watterson. During the thick of the
battle, when it was fighting against
the combined forces OF greed, pelf and
selishness, gathered from both inside
and outside the Republican party, that
gentleman's newspaper kept up gal
ling and treacherous fire in the rear.
To Wattersou's turncoat editorials, as
much as 10 Mark Hanna's slush fund,
is due the fraudulent rape of the grand
old State of Kentucky from the place
in the Democratic Presidential column
which it has steadily and honorably
occupied for nearly third of CEN
tury. The paltry plurality of 260 odd
votes by which the Republicans count
ed out the Democratic electors last
November and counted in the McKin-
ley electors had the approval and in
ferentially the counivance OF Mr.. Wat
terson and his paper, the Louisville
Courier -JoUraaL.
Both he and Cleveland are In the
same boat when it comes to their trea-
sonable practices toward the Demo
cratic party. Neither of them how
ever, amounts to anything so far as
what either may do or may refrain
from doing with reference to the great
party from which they apostatised.
They are simply pointed TO as they
thrust themselves into the current of
passing events, just as the town drunk
ard with the tremulous nerves and
the bloated visage is made use of by
the temperance lecturer, as a pair of
awful examples.-K. G. Times.

The possessor of green hair would
be a very distinguished looking woman.
