THE NICARAGUA CANAL SCHEME.
The resolution endorsing the pro-
posed aid by the federal government
of the Nicaragua canal scheme has been
killed in the State Senate in short or
der.
While we pretend to no expert knowl-
edze ON this subject, we, in common
with the rest Of the reading public, are
in possession of a few facts bearing on
the matter Of the construction Of the
Nicaragua Canal as proposed by the
company i'm charge of that immense
project from which we are inclined to
doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of the United
states government entering into the
profect-that is. unless the govern
ment shall take entire charge of the
project Where millions of public
money are expended in private en-
terDrise. in nine cases out Of ten there
is lob" i'm it. All our experience has
thoroughly demonstrated this fact.
There is no question that West Vir-
einia would De vastly benefited by the
construction of the canal It would put
her within reach of immense new
markets for her products along the
Pacific coast. But it is not a question
of the advantages of the pro-
posed canal. but of the expe-
diency of the proposed method of build
ing it. whether or not the company
now asking government aid and which
has an immense lobby at Washington,
are not lin the scheme for what they
can get ont Of it in a pecuniary way,
leaving the government to hold the
bag" i'm the shape of worthless bonds.
In other words. if it is a legitimate en-
terprise and not one q Ia Panama
steal. it should be given the govern
meut assistance it asks. But TO be on
the safe side. it were better for the Am
ericau people to undertake the work
themselves through their government,
which is asked to contribute a majority
of the capital. anyway. and might as
well at once assume complete control
of the enterprise, making sure that
everything will be straight

ness in his. if you please.

Partisanship has been outdone by
the action of the new Council in its
committee appointments.
The Democrats, it is true. have not
very many representatives in Council,
but they are entitled to some recogni-
tfon and to- q share in the committee
work in the passage Of ordinances, that
are to- be the law for both Democrats
and Republicans in this city.
Vet i'm the draft OF the committees
there is mo- prominent one on which
there is q single Democrat They are
an sordlv Republican. On one or two
off the minor committees the Demo-
Gratis are allowed one member, and on
one or two of those committees that
rarely. if ever. meet, the Demo-
Gratis are gracfousIy allowed as much as
TWO members.
This is a situation that is altogether
UNPRECEDENTED i'm the history of the
CITY. and is an outrage on the people
of Wheeling of all parties. The idea OF
leaving the minority party altogether
unrepresented on the most important
legislative committees is stretching ma
ioriy rule entirely too far and bring
ing it close TO rule by brute strength,
which is anarchy.

BLEW UP THE BANK.
A Stick of Dynamite Pushed Under
the Front Door, and Touched Oft.
Several Building Wrecked.

Hollidaysburg, Pa, February IAN
attempt was made early this morning
to blow I'D the bank building lately oc-
cupied by the firm of Gardner, Marrow
& Co., private bankers. The building
is located in the center of the business
portion of the town.
A stick of dynamite was forced under
the front door of the bank and then
set off. An explosion like a roll OF
thunder followed The windows OF
every establishment on the square were
shattered by the force of the concus-
sion. the sound being heard IN all the
surrounding towns.
The bank door was burst open and
the floor torn up. No damage was
done to the bank vaults or the books
however. On the opposite side OF the
street from where the explosion occurr-
ed the front of the First National
Bank. Frank Glessner's store, the res
idence of Charles VOwinckel, Major ).
S. Barr, Mrs. Elizabeth Christy, and
DR.. James d. Humes, Stiffler's mil
linery store. and Goldman's clothing
store being demolished.
The dynamiters performed their
work while the night Waterman was at
the other end of the block. The motive
for the crime is ascribed to the resent
ment and hatred of some depositors.
The bank failed last September. An
assignee was appointed and it was
found that the assets were INSULT
cient to pay twenty per cent. of the
Indebtedness. The police think they
have a clue.

these die of starvation and its attend
ant diseases"
What the government would like to
conceal is that hunger in India comes
from the same general causes that have
created Irish and other famines. The
people are kept drained OF their re-
sources to so low a point, by landlords,
usurers and other cormorants, that any
unusual season Of drought or other mis-
fortune is too much for them.
The population of India is almost
entirely agricultural, 275 out Of its 500
millions living in towns. BuI rent
mortgages and cruel taxes are con-
stantly at their heels 1, is a modified
case Of Ireland again, and that is what
the ruling forces in parliament do not
intend to have exposed if they can
help it,

TIE CASTLES AT HOME.

They Arrive in san Franc co-Mrs. Castle
still Notwithstanding From the Effects of
Operations.
San Francisco, February Walter
B. Castle and wife arrived in this city
yesterday on the overland train from
Philadelphia. They were met at the
Oakland pier by Arthur Castle, Mr.
Castles brother AS soon as they ar
rived on this side they entered the car
riage and were driven to the Martinez
hotel where they were received by the
family.
Mrs. Castle appeared to be very tired
and retired soon after dinner. She is
still suffering from the effects of sew
eral severe surgical operations per-
formed in Philadelphia some weeks
ago.
Arthur Castle said that she was COM
pletely broken down in health and
that it would be long time before she
would entirely recover. Mr.. and Mrs.
Castle intend to remain permanently in
this city.

The idea is, also. to make the Speaker
of the House and the President of the
Senate members of the committee,
which would give the Republicans two
more majority and enable them to car
ry through any scheme proposed.
1t is, also. rumored on the best au-
thority that the proposed commission
will be raised as an additional lever to
force an extra session. The provision
that the commission report before the
expiration of the Legislature has been
amended in the House by striking out
that clause leaving it optional with the
committee when it shall report, which
makes it plain that the commission is
not expected to report at the present
session, which will make an excuse for
calling an extra session.
The scheme is bad from every point
of view and will simply be a useless
expense TO the people.

Do NOT LIKE TIE AMENDMENTS.

Neither the Cleveland Nor Salisbury Adj
ministration viii Accept the Arbitration
Treaty as Fixed Up by the Senate.
Washington, D. c., February 1.-The
Anglo-American arbitration treaty, as
amended by the Senate committee on
foreign relations, is highly objection
able to the administration.
If the treaty in its present amended
shape is ratified by the Senate, it will
not be proclaimed during the present
administration here, or during Lord
Salisbury's incumbency in Office IN
England.
The amendments will be opposed by
the administration not only because
they destroy the vital parts Of the pro-
posed treaty, but because the State De-
partment is morally certain that if the
treaty goes to Great Britain in the
present amended form it will be turn
ed down" and a long time may elapse
before the United States will ever again
have the opportunity Of securing peace
on such easy terms.
The administration officials have
abandoned all hope of the acceptance
of the treaty by Great Britain if rat
flied in its amended form.

London Newspapers Object to the senate's
Amendments 20 the Treaty

London Newspapers Object to the Senate 8
Amendments 20 the Treaty
London, February THE afternoon
newspapers express great disappoint-
ment at the proposed amendment OF the
arbitration treaty, and the Westminster
Gazette hopes that public opinion in
the United States will make itself felt
before the Senate acts upon the report
of it's committee on Foreign Relations:
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
The committee is doing its best to
make way with the treaty. 1t has not
dared to brave public opinion in abso-
Iutely withholding its approval; but it
has left it valueless.
The Globe remarks:
The amendment excludes every
question of real Importance and leaves
the treaty meaningless. The most dig
nified course for the Senate to pursue
would be to declare that the treaty has
become worse than useless and decline
to ratify it.
The Globe adds:
Not many tears would be shed over
its fate in spite of the premature cock
growing

Now. the people of West Virginia are
