THERE is BUT ONE.

OF course, everybody wants to
read the local news Everybody
is interested in what is going on
at home and in the towns which
surround Wheeling. Ones interest
in news lies to a certain degree in
the fact that he knows the people
and the places that are referred to
in the news item.
But in times like these, when
the country is on the verge of war.
and when the news of the whole
world is of interest to every
reader. purely local news is not
enough to make paper satisfying.
The reader wants to know particu-
larly what they are doing in
Washington, in Havana, in Key
West. in Madrid, in London, in
New York, and in a thousand and
one other cities and centres where
the real news of the world is at
this time being created.
The advantage of buying a news
paper which covers not only the
local field but which has all the
news of the world, is apparent.
1t costs no more to get the
REGISTER tomorrow than to get
one of the cheaply- made. incom-
plete sheets that are offered to the
public.
Remember, there is but one
newsgatherer in the United States
that can give all the news OF the
world, and that is the Associated
Press. Its wires cover the globe
as spider web, leaving no place
untouched. All that happens is
known by it's reporters as soon as
it happens, and the REGISTER
is the only paper in Wheeling that
serves this news on Sunday. so
the reader who wants the news
knows where to get it,
But the REGISTER does not de-
pend upon the excellence of its
telegraph service only. 1t covers
the local field perfectly, and be-
sides will print pages of bright
entertaining, and artistically illus
trated miscellaneous reading mat
ter Among the things in this
line offered tomorrow are an
article by J. H. Bradford, who is
introducing the curfew bell into
Washington. Illustration by f.

known artists in the country.

No one doubts President McKinley's
patriotism. lie was a soldier and a
good one But people are growing
more and more suspicious OF his ability
to clear himself of the entangling alli-
ances that made him President. These
alliances were arranged by Mr., Hanna
and cemented with Hannais golden
trowel which dipped it's mortar from
Wall street Their hold on the Presi-
dent has been shown in the fact that
he has done many discreditable things
and made many discreditable appoint
ments, which he would not have done
If he had been a free agent.
Is this element controlling the Pres
ident in the present crisis? 1t looks
very much that way. No one outside
Of Washington-and only the admin
istration in processes to
believe that the Maine was destroyed
by any other means than the foulest
Spanish treachery, and the testimony
goes to show that it was not only
Spanish treachery but OFFICIAL
Spanish treachery. The American
nssesae are at the boiling point of in
ssasfIc 'st ,he administration is
not only designedly delaying the work
of the naval court of inquiry, but is
giving out the Wall street dictum
that war should not be considered,
that nothing. is known, and that Spain
il not responsible.
How Secretary Long can make the
two last statements agree is beyond
comprehension. His astounding utter
ance on the subject should cause his
dismissal from the cabinet.
If President Mckinley is to rise to
the patriotic requirements of the stu
alton he will have to rise far above his
environments. Glance for a moment
at the composition of his cabinet.
There is nothing in il but MONEY.
His Secretary of State is d millionaire
with immense moneyed interests and
is imbecile from age. His Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, Lyman J. Gage,
is national banker, who knows moth
ing but money. His Secretary of War,
Alger. is a muit millionaire, and is in
competent to fill his place in time of
trouble His Secretary of the Interior,
Cornelius n. Bliss, is a millionaire,
who was bred in Wall street His
Attorney General, John W. Griggs, is
member Of a large number of trusts
and is counsel for many others. Even
his Postmaster General is man of
great wealth And the acknowledged
premier. Of the administration is Mark
Hanna VINO measures everything by
the almighty dollar"
With these influences about him or
every side. and constantly at his
elbow. it is scarcely matter for Won
der that Mckinley, weak man that
he is. should subordinate his patriotic
ordinations to the Wall street atmos-
phere in which he lives.
Meanwhile our battleship and the
corpses of our sailors are sinking t~3
inches a day,':t is said, in the mud of
Havana harbor, and yultures are
swarning over the wreck.

Wall street evidently thinks that
Secretary Longs pacific" statement
was intended for effect on stocks and
was engineered by legislative specu-
lators in Washington who knew in
advance what he would say. 1t caused
stocks to rise s2OOO0,O90 in value.
Haven't we had about enough of Wall
street influence in this matter?

TREASON.

ted against its own intelligent self
First it declares that COIN bonds
mean GOLD bonds and yet in the event

COIN bonds. but demands that the
word COIN be stricken out and the
word GOLD substituted,
Briefly, the Wheeling Wall street
Echo says, in the first instance, that
COIN means GOLD, and in the second

gold. and that only GOLD printed on
the face of the bonds would mean that
they were to be paid in gold.

THREE CENTS AHEAD.

The red tape and absolute accu-
ricy in the business OF the Post
Office Department is exhibited IN
many WAYS. For instance, the late
postmaster Of Kingwood received
this week from the Treasury De-
partment at Washington very
deliberately gotten up draft for
three cents, balance due on final
settlement OF all accounts, accom-
panied by the following official
letter:
