This is in reality a command from
the people who gave the administration
to the party in power. and who are
still anxiously waiting for the execution
of their free and omnipotent will by
those of US who hold commissions from
that supreme tribunal.
Il have spoken tonight in a some
what serious strain, because l believe
1T is due both to the membership Of this
association and to the conditions under
which the assemblage has met. The
conferences and systematic efforts of
such body of men as this are capa BILE
of infinite good to the respective com
munities in which the mem bers live and
to the nation at large.
Ihe country is now emerging from
trying conditions. 1t is only just begin
ming to recover from the depression in
certain lines of business long continued
and altogether unparalleled. Progress,
therefore, will naturally be slow, but let
us not be impatient. Rather let US ex-
ercise a just patience and one which IN

II have no fear for the future of our
beloved country. While discern in its

Of its citizens, the history of its past is
assurance to me that this will be as 1t
always has been through every struggle
and emergency, still onward and up

trial Or been unequal to any test.
Founded upon right principles, we have
nothing to fear from the vicissitudes
which may lie across our pathway. The
nation founded by the fathers upon
principles of virtue, education, freedom
and human rights; nodded by the great

suits of reconstruction, with a union
stronger and better than ever before,
stands today not upon shifting sands

of them to maintain the
rights of the citizen, to cement the un-

AN EXPLANATION.

For ways that are dark, and for tricks
that are vain" the advertiser nowadays
is a postmaster. Nearly everybody who
has been on the street this week has no.
ticed the banner displayed on the street
cars. 1t reads: August e0th-See Daily
Papers" and has caused some people to
wonder if that date had been selected
as the last for this earth Others per-
haps, thought 1t heralded the springing
of "cure ALL patent medicine, but the
truth of the matter, that modest street
car banner simply calls to the attention
of the people of Wheeling the fact that
tomorrow the Wheeling City Band will
give their concert and picnic at Mozart
PAX. The means of advertising is a good
one. and has caught the attention of
many people who otherwise would have
paid no attention to ordinary street car
banners. The regular fare will be charg-
ed on the incline.

PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

To the Editor of The Register:
SIR take it the majority or the
citizens and taxpayers of the city OF
Wheeling and Ohio county have heard
about enough of the argument OF those
business men who wish the city and
county to become partners in the plan
Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany to violate the laws of the United
States, specifically relating to the har-
Dor lines of the city of Wheeling. The
fact that Ohio county and some OF our
citizens are interested financially in
this road, is no reason why we should
aid in accomplishing purpose which
is undoubtedly against the general in
terests of the community.
Let me PROFOUND a few questions,
german to the situation, to those bust
ness men who are enthusiastic advo-
Gates of the Railroad Company:
How much of the original stock
and bonds of the P, w. & KY. K. Il.
Company was owned by the County
of Ohio?
why was any part Of said stocks
and bonds sold?
3.-What were they sold for?
4.-Were any of these securities
sold below their market price?
5.-Were they sold in the open mar
ket; and if not, why not?
6.-Who were the purchasers OF said
stocks and bonds?
Who now holds or controls the
remaining interests of the county IN
this road. and in whose custody are
the securities at the present time?
A reply from the business men tax
ing so prominent a part in the present
issue would be greatly appreciated by
taxpayers.
ONE OF THEM.
