AN ELM GROVE INSTANCE

When our Republican friends of Elm
Grove took poll of that town and dis
covered that they had a majority, they
unwisely took on arrogant airs, a la
our own city ring. and insisted on max
ing a party political issue of the town
election. Whereupon, despite their ma
jority as previously shown by the
party poll books, they were yesterday
thrown down hard and the town was
swept by the Democrats.
Much of this success was due to the
intelligent efforts of Mr.. NJ. A. Madden.
reelected Mayor by a good majority.
But it was mainly simply another ex-
emplification of the fact that the people
are averse to the injection of party pol
itics into town election and are in
clined TO vote against the party
that forces that issue
Let us hope that this same wise spirit
will guide the igent voters of
Wheeling in TIL city election.
Our own city rim pgantly claim

CRIMINAL AG-

GRESSION?" It was easy enough to
talk ABOUT the sinfulness of forcible
annexation before the temptation OF
the Philippines came. But the appli-
cation of the test has made vast diff
ference, as usual.

embarrassing to the administration to
be reminded of these smooth and high
sounding utterances of one short year
Mckinley these days is absolute silence
on the subject. He submitted the an
nexation treaty to the Senate without
a word of comment, leaving the people
to guess whether he has any policy or
will leave it to Congress to formulate
one. The probability is that the Presi-
dent and the Republican leaders in
Congress thoroughly understand each
other and are simply averse to taking
the people into their confidence for the
present. With the growth of the i'm
perial idea the administration con-
fidence in the people weakens.

THREE MNMEN

Three women sat on Utah roof
And watched the smoke as the train
sped on:
Each thought of the man who was rush
ing aloof
And the cheeks of the watchers were
faded and wan
For man will low ard women are blind,
And the man with three wives leaves a
good deal behind
When he's off TO Washington roaming.
Three women packed up all their biggest
grips
And took the train as the sun went
down:
For Washington bound on the grimmest
of trips
Twelve children stood watching them
out of the town
For men are clay and many get gay,
And wives when they're jealous will go a
long way
Alas. for the much married Mormon!

SQUIRE DAYS MAUDLfN AsININITY.

Mr.. McKinley's long time friend and
neighbor Of Canton, Squire Day, has
allowed his great gratitude to the Pres
ident to get the better O. his common
sense. Mr.. Day has earned more or
less of a reputation for wisdom by
keeping his mouth shut. If he had
continued on this line of policy until
the end he might have gone down into
history with that negative sort of
greatness that comes to a public man
who succeeds in getting through with
out committing any serious plumbers,
or making himself ridiculous. But
murder and the truth and a mans real
character are hard to keep under
bushel. They will out.
Thus Squire Day, after pocketing his
$4,000 peace commission fee, cannot
longer control his gratitude and tongue
but bursts out into the widest and
most maudlin encomiums on his friend
and chief, Mr.. Mckinley.
NO OuG Will uSSlI6 W W1luuO1u HUH
Mr.. Mckinley the need of praise he
has earned by his patience and devu-
ton to duty, and no one will question
his desire to do the right thing, even
though most of the time overruled by
the influences that surround his ad
ministration and which are stronger
than himself. But Judge Day is not
content with this high estimate of the
Presidents character and intentions.
He declares:
The verdict of his countrymen. no less
than the approving judgment of the world,
gives him the first place among great men
who have filled that high office"
Now what can Mr.. Day mean by the
verdict of his countrymen, who have
yet to render any verdict at all in Mr..
Mckinley's case? In his gratitude to
his friend and neighbor Mr. Day is
rash, and when he gives Mr. Mckinley
first place" over Washington and
Lincoln he becomes ridiculous.
But Squire Day maunders on. He
calls Mr.. Mckinley the commander
in-chief, in fact as in name, of an army
and navy whose deeds are unparalleled
in the history of warfare
This is rather perilous ground for
Mr.. Day to tread on. 1t is unjust and
untruthful to give the President per-
sonal credit for naval achievements
that were due to the prowess and skill
of our naval commanders and our sail
ors, and which were accomplished
rather in spite of than because of
Washington influences. At the same
time, in the case of the army, it will
hardly be relished by Mr.. Mckinley
and his friends to thus have the re-
sponsibility for Algerism laid at his
door
In the interest of the President the
affectionate and grateful Squire Day
should be muzzled and kept muzzled.
There are several other maudlin
friends of the President who have in
banquet halls and elsewhere plastered
the President. all over with this sort Of
unbridled and fulsome eulogy. and from
these fool friends Mr.. Mckinley should
pray to be saved as from a plague.

telegram from Washington. that Governor
Atkinson will probably be induced to re-
tire as a candidate for Senator with the
promise of a federal judgeship: There is
an old saying about catching hare be-

ing everything in sight on strict party
grounds on the strength Of their large
party poll at the primaries. In this,
however, they are likely to be fooled
by the people as were their fellow par
tisans of Elm Grove.
Many citizens who are staunch Re-
publicans in national or State affairs
voted at the Republican primaries with
view of breaking the ring slate
Having failed lamentably in this in
every instance they do not feel under
obligation to support the slate they
fought against Like the intelligent
citizens of Elm Grove they will sit
down on partisanism as represented by
the ring. And there are enough of these
intelligent and Independent citizens to
carry the election
Surely the people of Wheeling are as
capable of putting partisanship be-
hind them in their municipal affairs as
are the good citizens of OR prosperous
little neighbor, Elm Grove.
Municipal government should be
conducted on business, not partisan
political lines

THE RING AND THE ORGAN.


The Republican city committee is well
organized and ready for the campaign.
This is a source of great worry to the
Democratic organ, which sees in organiza-
ton on a Republican side hdeous bug
bear in the shape of a big round ring. In
the meantime 1t is perfectly willing for,
and even urges, some sort of effective or
ganization of the Democratic forces
1ntelligencer.
This sneering effort of the ring Or
gan to create a false impression will
hardly deceive any one. Legitimate par
ty organization is not Objectionable,
and only becomes Objectionable when
it includes the departmental machin-
cry of the city government, which
should be administered with entire
freedom from partisan political infiu-
ences and in behalf of all the people
of all parties. 1t is in this latter
thing and not in legitimate party or
ganiZation that the ring is disclosed.
1t is folly for the organ at this late
day to deny the existence of ring in
the management of the affairs of this
city and county. There is not a school
boy in the county who is not thor
oughly acquainted with that close lit
tie political corporation, which rules
with the hand of despot and an eye
single to its own individual interests,
always considered before those of the
people and taxpayers. There is not a
schoolboy who does not know the little
clique of Z chronic officeholders who
compose the ring and who apportion
the Offices and dispose of the public
funds to the best advantage of the
ring and its friends and henchmen.
The Republican city ticket nominated
was the ring slate from top to bottom
and it's election means the fOrtifica-
ton of the ri ug in power and the con-
tinuance of it's arrogant rule in more
arrogant style than ever.
On the other hand, the Democratic
ticket, although nominated through the
regular Democratic organization-th
only means of co nducting an organized
and effective fight, against the ring-is
not the product Of any clique, or ring,
or machine. 1t is the product of the
people and is thoroughly and especially
representative of the people and their
interests. 1t is a ticket upon which
all lovers of good government and OPP
ponents Of narrow, partisan, corrupt
and incompetent ring rule in our city
affairs can support.
AS the arrogant organ boasts, the
ring is we'll organized. Not only does
it control the entire machinery of the
we have said, also prostitutes every de-
partment of the city government to the
selfish ends of'the ringsters. 1t will re-
quire untiring labor to defeat the ring
1t is labor that devolves upon the peo-
pie themselves, intelligent citizens re-
CARELESS of party, who want the depart
ments of the city government divorced
from partisan machine politics and
brought up to the high point of eff
cheney demanded by the people who pay
taxes regardless of party; it is labor
that should be shared by all the i'm
portant interests of this city that de-
pend upon those departments for pro-
lection and safety.
There is no politics in this and there
should be none at the coming city cleo
ton. 1t should be the object of every
good citizen to defeat the ring.

ly be practicable. The beef itself is
too strongly in evidence in more ways
than one. Someone is plainly respon-

gle to regain health after the birth Of
her little girl:
DEAR MRS. PrNKHAM:-Tt Is with
pleasure that I add my testimony to
your list, hoping that It may induce
others TO avail themselves of your val.
liable medicine.
AFTER the birth Of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhea badly, and
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time. and dizzy feelings Men.
situations were very profuse, appear.
ing every two weeks
"ltook medicine from good doctor,
but 1t seemed to do no good. I was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when / read your advertisement in q
paper. ! sent at once for a bottle Of
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
ponnd, and after taking two.thirds of
the bottle felt so much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
II think II is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it TO every lady l meet suf-
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experience
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice Is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. lfMrs. Pax.
ton had written 10 Mrs. Pinkham be.
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkham's
address Is Lynn. Mass.
