THE MALEVOLENT PIANO.
British Medical Journal.

British Medical Journal.
The piano has been the causa teterrima
OF quarrels that have sundered ancient
friendships; it has wrecked many enter
prlses of great pith and moment; it has
disturbed the finer adjustments of the
cerebral machinery in many literary and
scientific workers, has driven studious
men from their books to the bottle, and
has stimulated peaceable citizens to the
commission of violent assaults. These
are among the evil effects of the piano
considered rtssive, aus the schoolmen
would say-from the point of view of the
sufferer But the operator does not come
on scathless. A recent writer DR..
Waetzhod, thinks that the chloroses and
neuroses from which SO many young
girls suffer may be largely attributed
to the cause of the piano. He therefore
urges that the deadly" custom of COM
pelling young girls to hammer on the key
board before they are Is or 16 years of
age should be prescribed by public opin-
Ion. Even at that age the exercise should
be permitted only to those who, in addi-
ton TO real talent, possess robust consti-
tuition.

CITY FINANCIAL SITUATION.

II some of the Republican members of
council can have their way this city
will be encountered with very decided
increase in it's floating debt before the
next year is out, and the policy thus
1naugurated, if continued during the
next year, through which the life OF
the present Council extends, will inevi-
tably lead to financial complications of
serious nature and another issue of
bonds to take up the floating orders
Common sense would suggest that
this thing of over-estimating receipts
should stop right where it is. Last
year debt of more than twelve thous-
and dollars was created without the
consent of the people, in defiance of the
Constitution of the State and of all law.
Instead of providing for this debt,
few members wish to continue this
policy, and to float more interest bear
ing orders that certain pet schemes
may go through. That this is wrong
in principle, and in violation of the
oath Of office Councilman takes, cuts
no figure with these folks. They have
been elected to office, and with them it
is either rule or ruin. In practice, if
they are allowed their way, it will be
both.
The city of Wheeling has no power
or authority to create one dollar of in
debtedness without the consent of the
people. 1t is the plain and undoubted
duty of Councilmen, in making the an
nual estimates, to conservatively fig
ure the probable receipts, and then to
limit the expenditures to a sum within
that estimate. To deliberately "kite"
receipts and thereby cause the issuance
of city orders, is obtaining money under
false pretenses, and is, in effect, as
criminal as raising a check. No law
warrants any such proceeding, and ex-
perience teaches it is bad from every
point Of view. The city has as much
reason to be honest as an individual
or firm. 1t must do business upon
the same general lines, and pay it's
way as it goes. If the right exists to
over-estimate for five thousand dollars,
there is an equal right to issue orders
for half a million or any other sum
and the inevitable end is violation
of law and more bonds.
No Democrat should lend his aid to
any such scheme. Members of the mi
nority party should protest and vote
against any such policy, from start to
finish. The Republicans caucussed last
night, and are reported to have deter
mined upon running things their own
way. They are in the majority and are
responsible. Let Democrats vote for
honesty. and straightforwardnes in
public affairs. and if over-ridden the
people will properly place the response
bilitv.

GONE BACK ON HIS WORD.

William Dudley Foulke, the Indiana
civil service reformer, says that when
the reformers interviewed the President
more than year ago respecting the or
der of exclusion just promulgated the
nope was expressed that if any places
We're taken from the classified list at
least an equal number of other places
would be raised to that list, so that it
would not appear that a backward step
had been tken. And the President replied
that he intended to include great many
more places than would be excluded. Mr..
Foulke is accordingly very much sur
prised and disappointed to find that many
are taken away but none added.

AN UNHAPPY ORGAN,

The Republican and hence ultra
administration 1ntelligencer is I'M
happy because the Register, in common
with many other journals of this coun-
try, comments upon the situation in
the Philippines, and does not approve
of the war of conquest now being car
ried on in the archipelago with a
nation on their own soil, with whom
we had no quarrel aside from that
precipitated through the acts and
policy of General Otis, who represented
the administration and not the Ameri-
can people, and which war, aside from
the absolute absence of the elements of
justice and right, is in violation of the
Constitution of this country and of all
its traditions. The conflict in the
Philippines is indefensible from every
rational American standpoint, and vet
the Intelligencer defends it. The
reason for this defense, is not far to
seek. 1t is a purely partisan political
defense of the administration, and
would apply with equal force-if force
1t has-to any other act of the authori-
ties at Washington, no matter what
the scope and purpose.
The Intelligencer, in its blind advo-
cacy of this uncalled for war, charges
that the Register is talking about
something of which it knows little.
That is exactly the point of our criti-
cism, and the Intelligencer's remark,
with the addition that the confession
