calvin S. Brice,s Dcath.

In the death OF United States Ssn-
ator Calvin S, Brlce there passed away
one of the country's millionaire railway
owners and politicians. For few years
Mr.. BrIcc controlled Democratic poll
ties IN Ohio and was prominent as a
national leader, and through the organ
!zahoa he effected secured a term In the
senate. The fact that ne was but nom
NAL residen. of the state. his nome be-
ing in New York. did not popularize
him, and at the end of his term he re-
tIred, and has since devoted his time
mainly to his private interests. though
his influence has occasionally been felt
IN the Democratic campaigns. BrIce's
career has been remarkable in some re-
spects, and his removal from the bust
ness world and railroad circles Is mat
ter OF some consequence.
While Mr.. Brice was the subject Of
much criticism on account of his polla-
cal methods, he was a man who won
friends, and was personally popular
among his colleagues in the senate, He
was brave Onion soldier in the civil
war. and saw much service in the OPP
era,Ions of the Tlfty-sixth Ohio in this
state. He will be missed from among
his associates who were numbered
among the leading men of the country.

Our esteemed friend. the organ OF the
Democracy. inquiries of the Intelllgencer
why 1t does not fire some of the vltup-
Grafton it heaps upon Colonel Bryan at
Colonel Roosevelt and Colonel Aston,
who also left the army to enter politics.
Why is this thing all right for Colonel
Roosevelt and all wrong for Colonel
Bryan" To which we reply that this
paper has mot fired any vltuperation at
Colonel Bryan. on the contrary, It CONF
mended heartily his Views on the cues
tion OF the ratification of the treaty. in
which he said 1t should be ratified in or
der that we might settle the questions
concerning the new territory acquired In
our own way. In this. we argued, he
agreed with the President.
Is II this fact that CAUSES the Register
to misrepresens the Intelligencer's CONF
ment on Mr.. Bryan? To refer to him
as an opportunist in politics was in no
wise offensive. Other men have been
So. AS to Colonel Roosevelt, the case OF
his retirement from the service was en-
tire1y different. Colonel Roosevelt and
his entire command We're mustered out
OF the service after having distinguished
themselves in one of the hardest fought
campaigns in history, and when Colonel
Roosevelt entered the political arena he
had no, left his regiment. 1t was no
longer In the service.

Wnrk OF Chinese Rebels.

News from China to the effect that
Chinese rebels have slaughtered large
numoe. of native and European Chris
tians, destroyed their property and rem
dered homeless 10000 persons, IS pretty
sure TO increase the agitation of doing
something with the CELESTIAL empire
among the European powers. 1t IS true
that the outrages have been committed
by the insurrectionary element under
the leadership OF an outlaw chief but
the havoc wrought will have to be set
tied for By the government.
Among The victims were several Euro
pean missionaries, and their property
has been destroyed to the amount of
100000 taels. France having already
laid in claims for this amount. The
news In Europe viii doubtless cause
considerable commotIon, and we may
look FOR some drastic measures and re-
newed complications as result.

WHEELING, DEcEMBER IL, 1898.
The Trouble at Hayana.

It will be a happy day for Cuba, and
for the United States as well. when the
spanish soldiers in Havana are all re-
moved to their homes. Their hatred of
cubans and Americans Is 50 intense
that they are constant menace to the
lives OF all but Spanish sympathIzers.
These soldiers. It is said, are mainly
spanish peasants. who are ignorant and
undlsclpined. and utterly dsgusted with
the small pay or no pay at all from the
Spanish government for their services in
the army. Innocent lives are constantly
in danger and the situation will remain
80 until they are transported TO Spain,
and tae island Is completely evacuated.
The garrisonlng of Havana by Ameri-
can troops will restore order but a great
deal of damage may be done in the
meantime. These spaniards who are
guilty. OF grave characterization are the
police Of the city and they win soon be
supplanted by American troops. II IS
hoped that as little delay as possible Will
occur before this change Is made, and
that peace and order under American
protection will reign supreme.
The trouble is demonstrating to the
cubans the need of the good Offices of
this country. and It Is no; at all likely
that they will resent in any way the ap-
pearanec of our army of occupation. A
cordial welcome of relief Is already as
sured. and mailing of the departure Of
the last Spanish soldier viii DE joyful
and unanimous.

THE RAILROADS.

The prominent part that certain in
terests are taking in the reorganization
OF the Wheeling & Lake Erie has revlv-
cd the rumors of an alliance between
the Baltimore & Ohio and the Wheel
ing. simultaneously with this is one to
the effect that the Michigan Central or
Vanderbilt interest is also negotiating
for the purchase of the property. There
is very little doubt that some powerful
interest is figuring for the control OF the
property. So far, they have cloaked
their identity so perfectly, that 1t cam
not be determined who is behind the
scheme.
Brown Brothers & Company, who are
largely Interested In the Baltimore &
Ohio, ace very active In the Te1rganlZa-
ton of the Wheeling. The present ar
rangement with Brlce for the use OF the
Pittsburgh e Western Is only con-
tract with the receiver, and the man
agement Of the new Baltimore & Ohio
company will not be bound to maintain
this relation unless 1t so desires. The
reorganization committee may be PLAN
ming new connections which will be
made after the property is recognized.
Those who have faith in the Wander
bllt story point to the fact that with the
Wheeling terminals the Michigan Gem
trail would have a complete belt line
around Toledo. Besides this, It would
give the Vanderbilt system coal road.
The Wheeling is good property, ard
would prove valuable feeder to the
Vanderbilt systems. 1t would give them
a cheap fuel supply. and. in connection
with the Michigan Central, would form
a complete line from the mines to the
market in MichIgan.-Toledo Blade.

tight corsets are TO be blamed. A man
rarely has defOrmed arms, because hls
clothing is made to allow him an oppor-

does not forbid him TO swing his arms
when he takes his daily walk. Besides
being tight, a woman's sleeves are put
into a waist In such a manner as TO
prevent her from lifting her arms 10 any
height. The fashionable sleeve Of the
