THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, MARCH 10, 1890.
Illogical Campaign.

1t Is stated in Washington, on appar-
whatever will be made to make deal
buying off Aguinaldo. as has been stat
ed. The reason is plain. Aguinaldo
cannot be trusted. Besides, recent
events and the campaign now being
made by General Wheaton. under the
direction of General Otis. shows every
evidence Of early success. 1t is logi-
cal plan to drive the insurgents into
the interior, where they will be deprived
OF means of subsistence. This Is ex-
pected to force them to lay down their
arms.
1t is known that II the Aguinaldo
forces do this, and 1t Is demonstrated
that they will receive humane treat
ment at the hands of the Americans,
their prejudlces and fears will be re-
moved. Up to this time they have been
deceived into the belief that should they
surrender to the Americans they would
be killed, but their eyes are being
opened. and It is probable that Aguin-
aldo will soon be deprived Of his army
strength, If he does not himself fall
into the hands of this government.
With the autocratic and selfish leader
crippled by the loss of his deluded SOL
diers. or the soldiers deprived OF their
leader. the end will come. The admin
istra1lon has implicit confidence in Otis
and Dewey, and the whole matter is in
their hands.

"A Woman Condemned to Death.


The first woman to suffer the death
penalty in the electrical chair In New
York will be Mrs. Martha Place. con-
vlcted OF murder. The hope on the
part Of many petitioners, mostly wo-
men. that Governor Roosevelt would re-
nit the sentence, may not be realized.
as he had already said that he could
not do so unless the convicted person
could be shown to be mentally irrespon-
sible. and experts have decided that
the woman Is Of sound mind.
There Is something peculiarly revolt
ing in the iniliction OF the death penalty
on a woman, and the announcement
that a large number of women OF Brook
Ign and New York are protesting
against the execution of the sentence
of death. and asking for commuta-
ton to Imprisonment. is not to be Won
dered at. nor is 1t more than natural
that they have so much sympathy.
There is undoubtedly a growing SEN
timent In several of the states to abol-
,ish the death penalty altogether. on the
ground that 1t does not serve the pur-
pose for which 1t was designed, and
that such criminals dread life imprison-
meut more than death. as rule. There
Is probably something In the theory. 1t
Is question which is being discussed,
with what result the future will tell.
Already there are four states In the
Union in which the death penalty Is
forbidden by law-Rhode Island, Maine.
Michigan and Wisconsin. The alterna-
tive Is Imprisonment for life.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

The reason Solomon told SO many
truths about women was because he
was brave enough to do it.
AS long as. she can keep him loving
her. no woman need ever be afraid Of
her beauty fading before n man.
1t is lucky middle-aged married wo-
men always pick out very young men
to illrt with. because their being kit
tenish doesn't sicken them.
One reason all women are dead sure
they can fool all men is that most men
keep their mouths shut as to what they
think about it.

Of love; no person can succeed In un-
derstanding love.-New York Press.

Oh. worker, whatever your fortune.
Wherever your lot be cast.
Look first that our efforts be honest,
And men will accept you. at last:
The world may be heartlcss or stupid,
And Its judgment Is often severe.
But sooner or later its favor
Goes out 10 him who is sincere.
The preacher may preach fine sermons.
The poet write lofty lays.
But what II the preacher travel
Along the forbidden ways,
And what II the gifted poet
Who tells us that virtue Is sweet,
Bring shame to the mother who bore him,
And the father who guided his feet?
The preacher OF ilowery sermons
Who Is eloquent only for pay,
May charm with his flowing phrases,
But he never scares Satan away:
And the poet who sings of the lover
Nut die In the dust on the shelf,
No matter how lofty his measures,
If he DE not lover himself.

One Of the most appalling features G

One OF the most appalling features OF
the bankers trust bill which was rail-
roaded through the House without con-
sideration in committee or discussion,
gives the Secretary of the Treasury power
to issue bonds to any amount he chooses;
liberty to issue tens, hundreds, even
thousands of millions; TO mortgage the
helpless people of this country thousands
of millions, payable-principal and in
terest-in gold, 10 raise money to replen-
ish the treasury as often as it may be
emptied by an extravagant Congress to
subsidize any scheme or schemes an
exploiting, gambling class may concoct.
The Philippines present ripe scheme
for such exploiting; ship subsidies and
isthmus canals, enlargement of the army
and navy and Algerism contracts yawn
for millions that the Secretary of the
Treasury is empowered to raise by this
bill without let or hindrance, and fill the
treasury by buying gold as fast as It Is
einptied by the national banks.

Prosperity.

Hon. David A. DeArmond of Mo, in
his speech last week in the House on the
bankers gold bill, said many true and
pointed things, but few if any more SO
than the following
They tell us that prosperity prevails
everywhere. Is that true? Are there
not special reasons for its existence where
it is found? Is il universal? On the
contrary is it not fact that right here in
this city property can be bought today in
the sunlight of this bogus Mckinley
prosperity for less money than it would
command two or three or five years ago
There is not State in the western or
southern part of our uniou where great
deal of property in town or country can
not be bought today for less money than
would buy it few years ago. There has
been SO much talk about prosperity being
all pervading aud abiding that / am
reminded Of the people who are said. by
telling frequently thing that is not true,
telling il with JUNCTION. finally to believe
it themselves" Laughter aud applause

A writer in the Practical Farmer
rather deplores the influence Farm
ers' Institutes have had on the
Grange, declaring that they have
served to keep farmers in line with
the two great political parties. The
Institute workers are paid for their
services, and being selected by one
or the other of the political parties,
are always loyal to the party; hence
we see the Institute is the product
of the machine. This fact of itself
is. evidence that thee will be no
discussion of the economic side of
farming, and any one who has
attended the various Institutes will
have observed that any attempt to
enter upon a discussion of the ques-
tions appertailing to our foreign
markets, transportation, etc., is
always promptly suppressed. II
the Institute management was in
the hands of the farmers this would
not be the case. The redeeming
feature is the social aspect of the
Institute. Our sons and daughters
come out, and with songs and reel
tations contribute the principal
interest of the occasion And the
writer asks if it is not about time
that farmers slip their muzzles and
discuss other questions than the
mere details of soil cultivation. A
little farm politics will not hurt,
but do good. Farm Journal.

Questions and Answers.

There is a list OF questions at the close
of a lecture by "Coin" Harvey and an
swered by The Almighty 5 The fourth
question is-What in your Judgment is
normal supply of money?
Answer.-Just what will enable the
banks to maintain their solvency so as to
stretch their credit four times the amount
of actual cash in their safes, and allow
them to lend their credit and draw big
interest on other mems money. But
there must not be so much money that
everybody could get it easily for that
would not be business but imitation. We
want an elastic and expansible currency,
but bankers must be expauders.
Why is it that gold is the foundation OF
our finances? The answer is twofold--
(I) The gold standard is very valuable to
creditors and BANKERS and TO the men
who devote themselves TO .coruering
money and the capture of millions by
watching or controlling the movement of
gold values In one of the flnrries a
New Yorker made two millions at single
deal that the government had contracted
to him at fixed price; and New York
syndicate multiplied this figure by four on
a bond contract with the Treasury. The
people thus interested in gold and its
fluctuations have great deal of power at
Washington. (2) A really complete and
scientific plan for a regulated paper based
on commodities, is of very recent date.
and as yet few people have become
acquainted with the merits of the system.

The Bond and National Bank Note
Puzzle.

This puzzle beats the old fifteen puzzle
all to pieces. The plutocrat gathers ur
500 600 in greenbacks and draws $780,.
600 of gold out Of the sacred reserve
fund. Then the government issues bonds
to get the gold back and the plutocra'
with the same gold buys the bonds, and
gives them to the Treasurer to keep fol
him and gets 100000 in national bank
notes to take the place of the greenback:
that the Treasurer has put away III the
treasury because they are dangerous
money. The Treasurer pays interest &c
the plutocrat on the bonds and the pluto
crat loans the $Ioo, 900 national bank
notes to the people and charges interest
for the accommodation" These
national bank notes are sound money
and the gold standard. They are based
on DEBT. The greenbacks which were
hidden away in the treasury were based
on all the WEALTH of the United State:
real, personal and mixed. The puzzle
consists in finding out how the national
bank notes are sound money and the
greenbacks are dangerous unsound
money. Nobody has been found able to
explain the puzzle but plutocrat or
fool.
P. S.-The plutocrat can only get
goo. 900 in national bank notes for his
bonds as the law now stands but the new
bill which his attorneys in Congress are
about to pass gives him thepwhole $780,
600 and throws off the per cent tax.

Another new year comes to thee,
Then gladly would be thy guest,
When we in sweetest memory
Could dwell on thy dear one, at rest.
How eautiful his peaceful soul,
While with us in unvaryfng cheer
To so much tenderness control,
And brighten every moment here.
1t is no grief that claims the tear,
But the undying love we knew;
Sweet comforter in every sphere,
Soft as sweet summers morning dew.
Aye, surely purest healing balm
Was ever ready in that heart
The gentle voice, so low, so calm.
To bind up sorrows bleeding heart.
How very beautiful for thee
Each birthday morning to recall,
The friends surrounding him in glee,
His pleasant smile to welcome all.
The billiant light shown on each one,
The hand extended through the hall
To clasp each comrades hand, where none
Escaped his genial New Year call.
An only brother still will feel
Exchanging love most highly priced
Sisters, although the tear will steal,
Must check its flow and realize.
Nature had given all to him
That makes :: household happy here;
His birthday cuiins our thought within
The coming and the asst new year.
Yet there is che how shall speak
Her hope il, ace. Ter care bestowed,
Kind comforter II him to seek
Sustaining on life's weary road.
Within our saviors tender keeping.
With no suffering there oppressed,
He Is sleeping. sweetly sleeping,
Where the peaceful all may rest.

Cecil County's Roads.

A valuable and instructive work
has been published of the Geolog-
ical Survey of Maryland, which
contains statistics of the roads in
Cecil county. There are 700 miles
of roads in the county, which are a
great many more miles than should
be devoted to bad roads. And yet
every year the County Commits
sioners are petitioned to grant new
roads. The wisest first step in road
reform would be IA competent
commission to make a thorough
examination and map of the
roads, with instructions to desig-
nate roads and parts of roads which
should be closed up and changes
that should be made in them; also
the proper manner to mend, make
and keep in order the roads, divid-
ing Them up in sections for this
purpose.
To do this work properly would
require the service of competent
civil engineer who had experience
in practical road building. Ifsuch
a foundation was laid for road i'm
provement the work could be pur-
sued steadily from year to year till
accomplished, when thorough
work would have been done which
would require but moderate an
nnal cost to keep in order.
In the last ten years the roads
and bridges of the county have cost
the tax payers 1892, $4,000 and the
roads, after the expenditure of all
this large sum of money have not
been permanently improved, except
in a few short pieces, if they are
not generally in worse condition
than ten years ago.
This is mighty poor, slipshod
economy, and a waste of taxes, be-
cause the system of road mending
is entirely wrong, requiring a rad
zeal reform in the interest of better
roads and economy in expenditure
of taxes.
But farmers who have nearly all
the bills to pay seem to like the old
wasteful, chronic bad road system,
and as long as they are willing to
pay for snch a questionable luxury
nobody should complain, perhaps.
