by which the gentleman had come to

Wasted Energy.

DO you know man who twiddles
his thumbs all the time he talks to
you, or his fingers, or possibly the
watch chain which he wears? Or, IL
he does not do any of these things, ne
does something equally annoying.
1t may be that you yourself, when
you sit thinking what you will say
next to your shorthand clerk, beat
time with the tips of your finger nails
while she taps her foot.
All these little idosyncrasies the
neurologist classes as physical auto
matisms and regards as energy vast
ers.
Probably you will find yourself
avoiding or stepping on cracks, or
counting figures in patterns or the
posts flying past the windows, group
ing uniformly recurring shapes In wall
paper or bisecting lines and rows of
figures. The great Napoleon counted
windows as he walked abroad, and if
he happened to lose count his temper
was completely upset for the rest of
his walk. Everybody knows the story
of poor old Dr. Johnson, who counted
posts, and many sad, insane men are
dc~lg the same to-day. One should
avoid as much as possible this ten
dency of mind and body to dssipate
valuable energy.

The administration Republican press,
OF which the Intelligencer is an exam
pie, and the administration advisors and
m%anipulators, of whom Dollar Mark
Hanna is an example, are greatly wor-
ried over the possibility that Admiral
George Dewey may be the nominee OF
the Democratic National Convention
for President of the United States.
They have abundant cause for disquiet-
ude over this matter. 1t is far from
certain-even far from probable-that
Admiral Dewey may be nominated by
the Democracy, but it is possible, and IL
it should turn out that way Mr.. Nc
Kinley will very promptly retire to pri-
vate life for the remainder of his days,
and with him will go the horde of i'm
perialists and syncophants who now
constitute the power behind the throne
at Washington. Dewey as a Presiden-
tial candidate would sweep the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and not
even RepuDllcdn Lduu III TenHsy lNdhids
Quay's influence, the peculiar methods
of Boss Tom Platt, the golden attrac-
tons of Mark Hanna, the specious
efforts of S. B. Elkins, or what passes
for eloquence with Teddy Roosevelt,
would save the day for the administra-
ton. The Republicans have every rea-
son to fear George Dewey. His is a
name to c~onjure with, and well the Re
publicans know it. The Democracy is
lining up on the firing line, and will win
next year no matter who is nominated.
With Dewey it would be a walk-over,
but with anybody prominently men
toned the Republican nag will be n
the "also ran" class.

A HoLpEN OPPORTUNITY.

The time is opportune for the bus
mess men and capitalists of Wheeling
to do something substantial for the
community in the location here Of new
industrial plants. The effort of Sena-
tor Scott to revive the old Hobbs glass
works is only a case in point. Other
opportunities are open to earnest en-
deavor, and there is IN abundance Of
idle capital seeking investment. A lit-
tie concerted work along proper lines
would result in great good for Wheel
ing, and the chance should not be lost.
Business men individually acknowledge
the undoubted fact that much might be
done; the thing to do is for these gen.
tlemen to get together, resolve upon
several things, and then proceed to
carry the resolutions into effect. Let
somebody start the ball, and the others
keep it moving until results are accom-
plished.

TO ASSERT SOME G H

There is no little anxiety in Ken
lucky political circles over the issu-
ance of a call for a State convention Of
negroes, to assemble at Louisville, On
the 10th inst, to consider the political
and other conditions of the rae in that
State and take such action as may seem
proper.
The negroes of Kentucky cast $4,000
votes, and they complain that they are
not accorded the same rights as white
men, that they are not admitted to the
jury box, and that, while paying full
railroad fare they get inferior accom-
modations. The call goes on to recite
that the colored men of the State hold
the balance of political power, and
there are intimations that the Republic
can assumption of a vested right to the
colored vote may suddenly lapse I'M

es and keeps them.

things it could accomplish, for the real
benefit of the colored race, would be
a determination to cut loose from party
and vote for the best interests of the
colored people themselves. The ne
groes of the Southland of the North,
too, for that matter-have too long
been esteemed party baggage, to be de-
livered as so many trunks and bundles
are dumped into a baggage car. The
sooner the colored race does away
with this assumption of proprietorship,
the better it will be all around.

NINE OWNERS. HARD LINES.

The average coal operator deserves
the sympathy and commisseration of
the great American public. Not long
ago there was an overproduction OF
coal, and hence he could not afford to
pay his men the wages they desired
and If a right ought to have. Then
there came along a car famine, and al
though the demand for coal was all
right he could not get it to market, and
hence the price was put up. Now the
miners in various localities are show
ing a tendency to strike, just as winter
is coming on, and the poor operator Is
caught again, and as the only way out
of it he puts prices up some more.
Verify, the coal operator has been be-
tween the devil and the deep sea until,
in sheer bewilderment, he may raise
prices some more.
