One of the ministers in atten-
dance upon the Episcopal Council
recently in session in this city. in
the Bluefld Telegraph, has the
following kind words to say about
Point Pleasant:
Point Pleasant is city Of
about 1900 inhabitants, situated
at the confluence of the KanaWha
and Ohio Rivers We have made
many efforts to ascertain the origin
of its name without success. We
however solved the mystery after
enjoying week among its hos
pitable and refined people Find
ing every thing pleasant; and every
body pleasant, We came to the con-
clusion that perhaps some WandereT
In early days had been thrown
upon its hospitable shores and re-
ceiving the same treatment from
its early settlers that the Council
received during this session, did
upon leaving, doubtless suggest
that should at some future day the
point grow into town to name it
Point Pleasant. We would not
say positively that this solution is
correct, but Judging from the un-
bounded hospitality displayed by
the present citizens to the members
and visitors during the meeting OF
the Council it must be SO.
BY the closing down of the mills
at Wheeling a large number of
laborers have been thrown out OF
employment. The situation of a
large number of men wholly de-
pendent on their labor for susten-
ance and no work in sight is
grave indeed. But at Wheeling
the situation is unusually grave.
The idle men are becoming des-
pondent and are committing sui
eide at the rate of two day. IF
Hanna does not issue another
bulletin naming an earlier day for
the return of prosperity, Wheeling
will suffer material loss in her
population.
The gold mongers are getting a
tight grasp on Japan. The single
gold standard is resulting SO pros
perously in all of the countries
that have tried it, that little Jap"
wants to try her hand at it awhile.
Getting into the power of the gold
kings is like getting into the clutch
of the devil. The terrors of the
situation are not fully realized
until it is too late to get free
from it.
1t appears to be very likely that
the rumored resignation of Score
tary Sherman as the head of the
State Department will soon be
given to President Mckinley, and
that the aged Premier will retire
to private life for the few years
that will round out a political
career full of honor and full of

PROPOSITI0N



Taking advantage Of the pres
ence in town of one so we'll quail
fed to express an opinion on the
question as General NIcCausland,
q reporter from the Register asked
for, and was accorded the privilege
of an interview with that gentle
man, with a view to hearing what
he might think proper to say in
regard to the suggested bonding Of
Mason county
The General said he had dis
cussed the subject with Mr.. Meek,
one of the County Commissioners,
Mr.. j. Friedman and others, with
whose views on this matter were
not in accord, since he was OPP
posed to any such project and
gave reasons why he was "con-
WINGED such a procedure would be
ill-advised and would burden the
county with debt it was mani-
testify incapable of carrying, while
the exercise of due economy and a
careful administration of county
affairs would provide more Just
and equitable way out of the diff
Guilty" He cited the experience
of 1892 and 1893 in support of his
contention.
sEach year should be able to
pay off its current Indebtedness;
that is the debts made should be
met in the year in which they are
accrued, and there should be no
necessity for bonding the county"
present circumstances were not
such as to justify bonding Mason
county, while the bonding would
necessarily place an added burden
upon the taxpayers for which there
was not proper warrant nor any
present need or demand"
He was firmly convinced "such
a procedure would result unsatis
factorily to all concerned and
could see in the arguments OF
those favoring the scheme nothing
to alter an opinion formed upon
experience and study of the
question as it had been found
operative elsewhere. Moreover, it
would be possible that the bond
ing of the county would open the
door to Misrepresentation and pos
sibly also to fraudulent transac-
lions"
Gle had no sympathy with the
movement and hoped in the best
interests of the county it would
not meet with the sanction of the
people of Mason county,"

Baron Pierre de Coubertin, in an ar
ticle on "ROyalists and Republicans, !"
In The Century, relates the following
anecdote: NJ Theirs had never lived at
the Elysee, the seat Of government dur
Ing his presidency having been at YER
sailles, but his receptions had remained
legendary He retained in official life
all his bourgeois habits. Jules Simon,
with that delicate raillery, gentle and
fnimitable, which gave character to his
most insignificant anecdotes, was tell
ing me one day how NJ. Theirs, at a
large breakfast, had drawn toward him
fruit dish which ornamented the
middle of the table, and in which were
some choice peaches, and had prepared
to sever one of these, saying to his
neighbOr, Shall 1 give you half of my
peach?" Nine. Theirs had been looking
at the peach with an indignant air Il
thought, " said Jules Simon. that she
was angry with her husband for not
having known enough to wait for the
servants to pass the fruit but that was
not the trouble Not able to contain
herself longer, she exclaimed, But,
mon ami, those peaches are for diImerr'
And docilely the president restored the
peach to the fruit dish.
