to have been the policy OF the Demo-
Gratis for the past ten years to abuse
every corporation or every man who ac-
quires wealth. | don't like to pull peo-
pie down who are getting along in the
world Capital and labor must be
friends. When they fall out, each
must suffer. You can't get along with
out corporations. They are necessary
to develop the country. The word
trust as we interpret 1t, means COM
bination of corporations TO control pro-
duction and reduce wages We propose
to foster the good trusts and limit
those which are doing a hurtful busi-
ness. The Republican party can be re-
lied upon to discriminate. 1t viii full
fill its promise. but the Democratic
party never made promise worth full
filling. If any party is responsible for
trusts. it is the Democratic party. They
created the necessity for trusts as a
protection against Democratic destruc-
ton. The Republican party will iroa
out the rinkles in the trust question.
All the trusts in the country doing bus
mess for the next fifty years would not
do the destruction that the Democratic
party did from 1892 to 1896
THE Spanish war ended too swiftly
to suit the Democratic party. We have
the same right in the Philippines that
we have in Ohio or Belmont county to-
day. We don't care what the Demo-
cratic party or Aguinaldo says. We say
to the Fiiipinos we will make you
American citizens. Behave yourselves,
put on good clothes and we'll set up
the drinks to you. If the Republican
party were wrong on this proposition,
I'd stand by it."
Hon. c. L. Weems closed the meeting
with a half hour speech.

The special Council refunding COM
mittee met at the City Hall last even
ing for the purpose of considering the
ordinance as presented by City Solicitor
Frank w. Nesbitt last Monday evening
and reviewed in full in Tuesday morn
ings Register There were present
Messrs. Maxwell, Sweeney. Chew,
Waterhouse and Korn and City Solicit
or Nesbitt, City Receiver Forgey, City
Clerk OBrien and Councilman Nickel
vey. Mr.. Marschner was the only
member of the committee absent.
The ordinance. on being taken ND.
was read and thoroughly discussed. a
number of suggestions and amend
ments being made to the document. On
motion it was decided to insert the sum
of $4,000 in addition to the former
sum of $425,000 for the purchase of the
electric plant of the Wheeling Electric
Company. This action. it was found.
will necessitate recasting of that por-
ton of the ordinance containing the Sc
ries of bonds. 1t was also decided to
strike out the clause referring to tie
outstanding orders of the city. 1t was
then moved that the Commercial Bank
be designated as the depository, or the
place for the payment of the loan, and
after prompt second the motion car
viz tyac VT rod thot Colt
mel j. A. Miller, Joseph Speidel and NJ.
LETTERS be named as the three commits
sioners of the loan, and motion to
this effect was carried through with
general approval.
Attention was called to the fact that
each commissioner would be required
to furnish a bond of 100000
The question Of the sinking fund was
then brought UP and was freely dis
cussed. 1t was suggested that some
provision be made for using the sink
ing fund proviso for buying outstand-
ing bonds. with reference to the bal
ance of the electric light loan and the
SStOuQ OSllCS vi LIE UMdlu SIlGGL
loan.
1t was held that money taken srom
the sinking fund for such purposes
would necessarily have to be returned,
and during the remarks the City So
licitor was questioned as to the legality
Of such proceedings. The State statute
in regard to the matter was then read
and it showed that the sinking fund
may be applied to the purchase of
United States bonds or the bonds Of
any city of town. 1t was the opinion
that the use of the sinking fund for the
purchase of outstanding bonds was en-
tirely legal.
The rate of interest on the bonds was
fixed at not more than 4 per cent, and
City Solicitor Nesbitt was given the
privilege of consulting with counsel in
regard to the redrafting of the ordin-
ance.
Before the committee adjourned the
City Solicitor was instructed to advise
Mayor Sweeney as to the progress of
the work on the document, so that the
latter may know when to call a meet
ing of tine committee for action in the
matter 1t is not certain what future
date the ordinance will be presented to
Council, as some time will be required
to reconstruct the document.
