ing the mother Of all trusts, calling
the attention of the tax ridden voters
of Wapello county to the senseless, ny
.pocritical resolution adopted by the
late republican state convention, where
in they attempt to deceive the voter
into the belief that party is against
this potent enemy of commercial activ-
ity and success.
1--WE glory in the valor, bravery
and fighting qualities of our Ameri-
can soldiers and sailors from the farm,
the work shop, the store room, the
sion; our American citizens spring in
Il foe appears, and are invincible on
sea or land. With such a citizenship
a large standing army is an unnecessa-
ry. expense, a menace to good govern
ment and an insult to American patri-
otism.
We are opposed to imperialism and
militarism. We are opposed to the ac-
QUESTION Of any territory not confined
to the American continent and the is
lands of American waters and in no
case should any territory be acquired
except by express consent of the peo-
pie thereof. We hold that government
by consent of the governed is the cor
ner stone of our national system, and
through the work and wool of our ma
tional fabric runs the structural iron
of the Monroe doctrine, to remove
which. by policy of conquest, of alien
territory, subiugation of alien peoples
would imperil the safety of our nation
al system of government.
| We are opposed to an alliance with
Great Britain or any other foreign ma
ton. We recall the fact that we have
always been on friendly terms with
the great German nation, and we de-
nounce the infamous attempts of the
prof. British cable which controls the
administration to embroil us in a quar-
rel with the German government and
in the controversies Of England with
other European and Asiastic countries.
| We favor the taxation by state and

at the Courier Office The finding of the
book, which is small ledger contain

nesday afternoon, when, in company
with his son, he made his regular de-

discovered by a woman

Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutch
es upon her and for seven years she
withstood its seyerest tests, but her
vital organs were undermined and
death seemed imminent. For three
months she coughed necessarily, and
could not sleep. She finally discovered
a way to recovery, by purchasing of
us bottle of DIR. Kings New Discov-
cry for Consumption. and was SO much
relieved on taking first dose that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs. Luther Lutz." Thus writes W..

Not Quite so Sweeping.

A paragraph recently published in q
local paper Is going the rounds of the
state press. In regard to the so-callcd
antitrust law In West Virginia, and Is
somewhat misleading by the manner of
Its wording. The article states that the
law prohibits companies capitalized at
over 100000 from doing business in
this state" This manner Of stating the
law creates the Idea that no company
in the country engaged in manufacture
Ing enterprises or any other business.
excepting possibly railroads. telegraph
and other corporations engaged in in
ter-state traffic. can do business In
West Virginia. Under such q construc-
ton, manufacturing establishments Of
Wheeling and vicinity, giving employ
ment to thousands of West Virginia
workmen would have to move out of the
state, under existing circumstances
which have TRANSFERRED within the past
few weeks, and by which some have
passed into the hands of large corpora
lions with enormous capital. That is
the impression which has been created
by the assertion above quoted.
The law referred to does not state It in
that way. Section 5 OF Chapter 81 Of
the Code Is the provision in question.
and says: THE capital of n corporation
formed under this chapter, except for
railroad and canal purposes. shall not
exceed five millions OF dollars" In
other words, the statute restricts the
granting of charters by the state. to
corporations capitalized at more than
five millions. There is no law prohibit
ing outside companies, chartered under
the laws OF other states from doing bust
ness in the state, on account capltaliza-
ton. Our corporation laws govern the
business Of such companies. regulate
their conduct, impose taxes, and pro-
vide for certified reports, and make
other provisions such as are customary,
regardless OF capitalization.

Teachcrs, Authorlty over Pupils.

Chicago Times Herald: The question
of the extent Of the Jurisdiction of a
school teacher, raised in St Louis and
carried to. the court OF appeals for a
sdecision, is a most interesting one. 1t
would seem as II the court had reached
a wise conclusion In holding that a
teacher. Is empowered to enforce discip-
line among the scholars on their way
to and from the school. as we'll as while
on the school premises Certainly no
one Is in a better position to do so. 1t
would be making too serious matter
OF 1t TO turn It over to the police, and
parents are sometimes careless and
often partial, Unless the school author
ity reaches the boys even when they
are not actually on the school property
1t Is quite within the range of possibility
that q bully should make life such
burden for younger boy that It would
seriously interfere with his studies, II 1t
did not actually force him temporarily
to give them up. 1t Is all very well 10
say that boys must learn to take the
hard knocks. but there are occasions
when protection and discipline are alb
solptely essential 10 the welfare Of GER
tain of the scholars, and the teacher has
better opportunity than any one else
to afford the one and enforce the other.
For that reason 1t Is evident that the
st. Louis court made an excellent appli-
cation Of fair and Just principle.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, MARCH 10, 1890.
But a Question of Time.

England Is again jumping on China,
and notifies her that the Reputation OF
railroad contract will not be tolerated.
In the meantime China, while Offering
to apologize to Italy for certain dis
courtesy. Is considering the wisdom Of
making San Nun an open port, in order
to evade Italy's demand for 1t. While
this Is going on representatives of Eng
land are predicting war unless the
terms Of the Chinese open door policy
are adhered to by othe- powers. and in
timating that Great Britain will aid
China against Russia. The dispatches
have also reported that in the Interior
Of China rebel force. in pitched bat
tie fought some weeks ago with the en-
peror's troops, completely slaughtered,
the latter. killing them by the hundreds
and mutilating their bodies. These are
the complications recorded In one day.
Poor China. with her territory bathed
In the blood of her defenders against
insurrection, and the question OF her
ultimate dissolution pending among the
nations, with complications that may
mean general war-harrassed on all
sides-her days seem numbered. Her
ancient. non-progressiveness. during
thousands of years OF closed doors. kept
her at peace with all the world. chiefly
because all the world knew little about
her. But, with the advance OF Euro
pean and American civilization, and the
advent OF the new era which brought
China into the circle OF nations, she has
come to face the day when modern de-
velopment makes victims of paganism,
Of ancient customs and of barbarity,
and she scarcely realizes it all.
The great world of civilization. in the
search for new fields OF trade. new ter
ritory, greater power. marks China for
the next victim. China is to be mod
erniZed. It is right that It be done. II
properly done. but it is only a question
as TO how she shall be divided, which
gets the biggest share OF the booty.

Amcricanism in Turkey.

Even the sultan OF Turkey recognizes
American Industrial ability, and falls
into line by rendering DR.. Cabell White
head .assayer of the United States mint,
the appointment OF director general of
industries In the Turkish empire. The
statement is made that the Turkish
minister at Washington has been i'm
pressing upon his ruler the technical.
commercial and scientific superiority OF
this country. and advising him to intro
duce into Turkey American methods,
products and machinery, along with
American experts in the various lines OF
development.
This Is not an unlmportant item OF
news. 1t means that American inilu-
cnce and progress-American civlllza-
ton, in fact, have made their impress
sion even upon "the sick man of Eu-
rope" and that the opening up of new
field of trade and commerce Is probable
In direction where It was least en-
pccted. Perhaps American methods
may do more good in the direction of
accomplishing the undermining of Tur-
key than all the guns Of Europe could
do. 1t IS such victories OF peace that
are winning the way and widening the
field for American trade In the old
world. not alone in commercial Europe.
but in the orient, rs well.

AN INNOVATION
In Sleeping Car Service Introduced
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,

In Sleeping Car Service Introduced
by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
Commencing Monday, February 10,
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad will in
troduce new feature in its sleeping
car service. between Baltimore and
Newark, Ohio, inaugurating what will
be known as the Ordinary" sleeping
cars, In addition to the regular stand
ard sleeping cars. One OF these cars
will be attached TO Train No. I, leaving
Baltimore at 700 p. m. and arriving In
Newark at l0:22 a. m. next day, re-
turning on Train No. S. leaving New
ark at $50 p. m. and arriving In Balti-
more at 1858 p. m. next dag.
The Baltimore & Ohio railroad Is the
first line 10 introduce this service In
the eastern territory for special uc-
commodat!on Of the travelling public.
In these Ordinary" sleepers the Pull
man rate Is reduced one-half, so that
passengers have the choice of paying
the higher Pullman rate and occupying
standard car or take advantage OF the
cheaper rate, and occupy the "Ordi-
nary" sleepers.
These ears are new. have been es-
pecially constructed for this service.
and differ from the standard sleeping
cars only In being less deliberately fur
nished. The seats are upholstered In rat
tan, and the sleeping berths, when made
up, have all the comforts and convent
cnces of the standard cars.
Tickets will be on sale at regular
Pullman ticket Offices handling business
between these cities.

United States. But it seems that the
indomitable spirit of our great naval
hero is such that he will not yield to his
desires in the matter. feeling that he
has not yet finished his work. and that
his duty bids him remain at his post.
1t is possible. however. that the ad-
miral may yet avail himself OF the offer
OF the'navy department. and 1t will be a
relief to the country II he does. I'm
doabtedly his brains and courage are
valuable at Manila, but the situation is
such that others can take charge. There
are good men already there, and others
who can be sent. In an emergency in
which the health. and perhaps the life,
of the admiral Is involved there should
be no delay In action looking TO his re-
lief. The responsibility is very great,
but the life OF Admiral Dewey is too
valuable to this country to be unneces-
sarily sacrificed because OF his own
personal feelings In the matter.

The Cody Blackmail.

The result Of the hearing of the case
Of Mrs. Margaret Cody, on trial for at
tempting to blackmail the heirs of Jay
Gould. in connection with the old charge
that Gould had been married to Mrs.
Mary Angel when q young man, eX-
posed the whole conspiracy. tn which
Mrs. Cody. who seems to be profess
slonal. was the chief conspirator. The
Mrs. Angel in the case. who went on
the stand and swore she never saw Jay
Gould, that all she knew about ever be-
ing married to him was that Mrs. Cody
told her SO. that she had never told Mrs.
Cody she was ever married to him, and
that the woman promised her five mil
lions OF dollars II the suit against the
Goulds should be successful, made q
strong case against the Cody woman.
An important feature Of the case Is
the cupidity of certain attorneys VINO
have taken a prominent part in the
affair. The whole matter has been one
Of perjury inspired by greed on the one
side, and determination on the other
side to vindicate the character OF a
dead father. The sympathy OF every
body has been aroused for Miss Helen
Gould. whose activity In the prosccu-
ton OF the alleged blackmailer has been
watched so closely. Miss Gould has
warm place in the hearts of Americans
on account of her good works during
the late war in behalf of the sick and
wounded soldiers. and for her interest
in the works of charity. In the present
case her course has been such as to win
stiff further admiration from the pub
lie.
