WASHINGTON, March B. Gen.
Brooke has not yet communicated to
the war department. any complaint on
the part of the people Of Santiago re-
specting the insufficiency Of the allot-
ment of funds for the conduct Of pub
lie works in the city and province. It
is said this is simply the same old
complaint on the part of the Santiago
people, without a single new feature.
They have from the first bitterly re-
sisted any diversion of the money re-
ceived at Santiago for the support Of
the island generally It is said at the
war department that this policy can
not be permitted to prevail, as the
immediate result would be the division
of Cuba into a number Of Independent
provinces, none of them willing to pay
anything for the support Of the general
government and that the plan would
work In Cuba precisely as II New York
and San Francisco should retain for
the public works Of those two cities

GOTHAM MILK TRUST
VIII he Declared When a Third of
the Supply Is Controlled.

NEW YORK. March S--The much
discussed milk trust for Gotham is
about to become reality. The value
of the milk coming into this city last
year was about SIT, 100000. This rep
resents total of about II, 900 ten
gallon cans. or daily average of over
26.000 such cans. 1t Is said that the
proposed trust will be declared formed
when 1000 cans per diem are controlled.
and that options covering almost this
amount are already secured.
The object of the trust as presented
to proposed members Is not to raise the
price of milk. nor to cheaper it. but
to accomplish vast economies in the
handling of the commodity in bringing
it from dairy to consumer.

MORTALITY AFRAID OF DEWEY.

Senators Hanna and Ekins are the two
men who are going TO- manage me mex mex
Mckinley campaign. They, were botn mere mere
watching him with hawkeyed keenness
every minute of the time since ne came.
1t is declared from Democrauc source
that Hanna has already arranged plan
to constrain Dewey 10 give his support 10
'Tne first step in the programme, It is
said. was taken to-day. when the Presi-
dent conferred with the Admiral on the
Philippine situation. The next step VIII
be to give out to the country that the
universal confidence in the Admirals Judg-
nent on the Philippine business ob
I'm short, the wnole Phllippine pranf 6a
turned over to the Admiral TO manage;
What he advises the administration Will
do. And, at the proper moment, II the
the programme which Mr.. Mckinley hopes
to thrust upon him, he will be sent out as
Governor General of the Ph1llpplnes Win
full power to bring the war TO an nohor-
able termination as speedily as ne can,
and on such terms as in his own judgment
are most expedient: -
THAT is the administration programme
for the elimination of Dewey from the
Presidential fled of 1850 as agreed upon IN
the secret councils of the managers. Ev-
erything that concerns the Pnlpplnes
from this time out will be referred TO the
Admiral His advice will be eagerly sought
at every turn in affairs out there.
If the administration was sincere in
this plan of leaving everything regard
ing the Philippines to Dewey, it would
be a good thing for the Filipinos, for
Americans, and for the cause of liberty
as Americans understand it and have
heretofore carried their understanding
out. The fact is, however, that the
whole thing is a piece of political chic
anery, for a purpose well understood,
and will therefore fail.
If Admiral Dewey really had a free
hand as to the Philippine war, that war
would end pretty promptly, and Cen
eral Otis would come sailing home, to
be met at the San Francisco docks, not
by enthusiastic tens of thousands of
patriotic Americans, but perhaps by
sergeant and file of men.
The administration is badly ratified
about Admiral Dewey's popularity, and
in addition is unable to conceal the
fact.

POVERTY AND WEALTH.


ella Wheeler Wilcox In New York
JournalO
The stork flew over a. town one day,
And back of each wing an infant lay.
One to a rich mans home he brought
And one he left at a laborer's cot.
The rich man said my son shall be
A lordiy ruler Ger land and sea-
The laborer sighed TITS the good Gods
will,
That l have another mouth to FILL"
The rich mans son grew strong and fair,
And proud with the pride of millionaire.
His motto in life was "Live while you
may"
And he crowded years in single day
He bought position and name and place,
And he bought him a wife with hand
some face.
He journeyed over the whole wide world,
But discomfort in his heart lay curled
Like a serpent hidden in leaves and moss,
And life seemed hollow and gold was dross.
He scoffed at woman, and doubted God,
And died like a beast and went back to
the sod.
The son of the laborer titled the soil,
And thanked God daily for health and toll.
He welded for love in his youthful prime,
And two lives chorded in tune and time.
His wants were simple. and simple his
creed,
To trust God fully; it served his need,
And lightened his labor and helped him
to die
With smile on his lips and hope in his
When all is over and all is done,
Now which of these men was the richer

INDIANA NATURAL GAS.

Those who have predicted and posi-
bly, hoped for the speedy exhaustion Of
the natural gas territory of Indiana are
probably doomed to disappointment.
Six months ago, with a declining press
ure in the old wells. there was some
thing of scare on the part OF those
manufacturers who had erected extern
sive plants in this region Of cheap nat
ural fuel, and the prediction was freely
made that the end was in sight. A
careful investigation during the past
summer shows that this prediction was
somewhat premature, to say the least.
The State Gas Inspector has gone over
the field carefully, and reports, in sub
stance, that while more gas wells were
drilled during the past six months than
ever before, there still remains two hum
dred and fifty square miles of gas ter
ritory as yet untouched, and that the
supply will remain ample for manufact-
uring purposes for many years to come
In the light of this report, which is
official, those manufacturers who are
in competition with their brethren in
the Indiana gas field should prepare
for a continuance of existing conditions
for some little time to come.

There is no other man Of note who has
taken the people Of this country in his
confidence so fully as has William J..
Bryan. In broad day, before the toiler
and the poor. the middle and the great.
he has unhesitatingly defined his position
on every question that has been called to
his attention. This open confidence has
endeared him to the people.
The unanimous declaration of Demo-
cratic conventions held this year, point
to but one coneiusion-and only one. viz:
That at the next national Democratic con-
vention, VIM. ]. Bryan will be nominated
! on the first ballot and the Chicago plat
form will be reaffrned in its entirety.
The gold Democrats who are now agi-
, tating Dewey will have nothing to do with
the result.
They will be left the alternative of again
reverting to the palezoic ages for suitable
and sufficient fossiized candidates. For
it is almost positive certainty that Dew
! ey will not prostitute his glory by assoc
ciating with this masquerade of party.
that expects neither victory nor honor. 1t
might be possible that Col. Mcclure could
discover collateral descendent of the
Apostle Paul upon whom to bestow this
mantle of glory.
What renders this little party even more
ridiculous is that it selects all sorts OF i'm
possible and improbable persons. then
cheerfully expects the Democratic party
to be guided accordingly. 1t seems that
the stupidity of this little aggregation is
so dense that it cannot perceive that the
Democratic party has nothing in common
with it, and further that the Democratic
party is not in search OF candidate. The
gold Democracy suffers with the idea
that in some manner it must be placated,
and that it is its duty to act as guardian
for the entire Democratic party.
1t must be remembered that this little
band, clothed in the mantle of Judas and
with a stolen name, fought under the yell
low banners of the Republican mercenar-
les, and did everything that hypocrisy
could suggest to mislead many of the DEM
ocratic faith. They placed themselves out
side the pale of decent political association.
Many have seen their error and have re-
turned and the warm hand of fellowship
has been extended. But a tattered rabble
yet remains-a handful, perhaps-who now,
as in 90 attempt to spread dissension in
the Democratic ranks, unmindful of the
fact that they are as solitary, impotent
and lonesome as the carved marble ass in
the Syrian desert-it is this party, that
in it's forlorn extremity begs the great adj
miral to step upon it's sacrifcial altar

WIRELESS rnLneRAPux a SUCCESS.

WIRELESS TELEGkAE6f A StCCESss
The system of wireless biography
operated by Signor Marconi in report
ing the yacht race off New York Tues
day, and again yesterday, was a COM
Elete success, and thoroughly demon
strated that at least for short distances
of thirty miles or so the apparatus may
be implicitly relied upon. One set of
apparatus was on board the steamship
Ponce, on the sailing course, and the
other on the cable steamship Mackay-
Bennett, anchored at Sandy Hook.
E'i1-y- nine messages were sent from the
race course Tuesday, without break
or failure, and in repeated instances
khe news thus sent through the atmos-
phere was in the Herald Office in sixty
seconds, while in every instance all
competitors were left far in the rear as
to time The next best record was made
by the Associated Press bulletin service,
which is stated to have been about eight
minutes behind the wireless telegraph.
Other messages ranged as high as fif-
teen minutes behind.
The details Of yesterdays workings
OF the system are not yet at hand, but
there is no doubt that another success
was scored, and that the system is a
perfect success. In the course of time
the telegraph wire will have to go, and
It will be a blessed good thing.

The motion to dissolve the injunc-
ton in the electric light case came up
for a rehearing before Judge Holdings
worth, at St. Clairsville, yesterday.
Arguments were submitted by Messrs.
Tallman and Danford for the new and
old companies respectively, but at the
conclusion the court held he had no
reason to change his decision from
that of Tuesday, when the motion to
dissolve was overruled. In was the
opinion of the court that Section BAH
only applies where franchises have al
ready been granted and that it is not
applicable to the case in question. The
holdings of the court, however, created
some surprise among the professional
men here as well as laymen, as the
statute was thought to fit the point
exactly.

PARKERsBuKG,s cENTsNNIAL

The Register has heretofore referred
to the more than creditable centennial
celebration held during the present
week by the citizens of Parkersburg
and Wood county, but there is occasion
to again refer to this popular and fit
ting demonstration in noting the ad-
dress of ex-senator ]. N. Camden, de-
livered Tuesday.
Senator Camden's address was par
ticularly valuable in its historical refer
ences, notably as regards the great
developments following the construc-
ton of the Ohio River railroad, built,
as all know, through the efforts of Mr..
Camden, and which has been of meal
culable value in the growth of the
river counties of the State.
AS to the city of Parkersburg, the
Senator well said:
In speaking of Parkersburg. I venture
the prediction that she has passed the pc
riod of doubt and uncertainty that comes
to most places of spaSmoGic growth, and
that she VIII gradually increase from year
to year. as regularly as the seasons sue
coed each other. and ! further venture the
assertion that Parkersburg is to-day the
handsomest and most attractive little city
of its size, with more good homes. public
buildings. good schools and we'll paved
streets, to be found on the Ohio river.
from its source to its mouth, and in lines
east or west, from Philadelphia to St.
Louis: and, If any one who travels doubts
this assertion, let him run over in his
minds eye. and point out the exception
I further venture the prediction that those
who are here at the next centennial will
have more 10 say of Parkersburg and the
marvellous wealth of West Virginia than
is dreamed of in our philosophy to-day"

Since Judge Hollingsworth's decision
yesterday has made it impracticable
for the Belmont Light and Power Com
pany to continue the fight along the
lines at first contemplated without
great loss of time, steps will at once
be taken by Council to submit the
franchise question to vote of the peo-
pie. Members of the new company
are inclined to think if this plan is
pursued the result is a foregone con-
clusion, as the people will have no
motive for shutting competition out of
the city, but on the other hand, their
interests will lie on the side of a
cheaper and better light service. The
vote will be taken at the regular cleo
ton on November 7th, at which time
the people will be permitted to decide
the controversy between Council and
the electric light companies. If Judge
Hollingsworth' decision stands, the
contract which Council has with the
Belmont Light and Power Company is
rendered void, and a new agreement
will have to be entered upon.
