Under the head Of "Libels." the Even
Ing newspaper contains the following
offensive paragraphs. with reference to
Senator Scott:
First Speaker-"G to hear that
one Of our factories Is to be purchased
and put in operation. Good move; pro-
moters deserve credit"
SecOnd-"Promoters be id, that is
all political chan. Would not spend a
dollar in such directions Don't you
know that such talk Is an in their
thEoat?''
What encouragement does business
man and to invest his money in new
industrial enterprise to give increased
employment at good wages to working
men, and to extend the trade of Wheel
ing. in such an insulting tnsInuation
as the above In newspaper to which
he rlghtfully looks for encouragement?
Is 1t in this way that the interests of
Wheeling are to be encouraged?
Such an item as the above might have
been expected from a newspaper pub
llshed in the bacl1woods, but not in a
manufacturing center. To say nothing

The Admiral Warned.

Richmond Dispatch: So far as news
paper interviews go. Admiral Dewey is
upon record for confesslng that he
isn't qualiaed to MI the presidential
office, and as saying positively that ne
will not become candidate.
We doubt not that those really were
his sentiments when they were spoken
but he may change his mind after land
ing and after seeing what a Dewey
craze there Is in the country. Al any
rate, the possibility Of his doing so is
being discussed IN many places and
papers, and we should not be surprised
II we were told that Mr.. Mckinley him
self felt some concern about the matter.
But for our part, we warn the ad-
miral to steer clear OF the politicians:
They can add nothing to his glory, and
he now hns an office that ought to sat
isfy the ambition OF his declining years.
Now he is a general fayorite. whereas
II he became President he would soon
have a host Of enemies-disappoint
ofiice-seekers and others. No man ever
vet was happier from becoming the oc-
cupant of the white house. Dewey IS
admiral for life; II he could be Presi-
dent for life possibly the case might be
different. AS It IS, We suppose that he
will be content to continue to be a Jolly
old sea-dog for the rest Of his days.

The Issues Mapped Out.

Louisville Courier Journal tDem):

the Issue of issues In 1900. It is al
ready fixed. There will be but one Is
sue uppermost in the public mind and
heart. and that win be the war in the
Philippine Islands and the policy Of ex-
pansion.
Free silver as a vital issue is already
us dead as the issue OF African slavery.
No matter what is said Of 1t, or is left
unsuld. by the next national Democrat
ic platform, 1t cannot be made seriously
to arrest the attention Of the voters. II
we ever attain free silver at the ratio OF
l6 to /, or any other ratio. It will be
through expansion, and through expan-
sion alone: our Pacific and Asiatic In
terests furnishing silver outlet for
an otherwise barren ideaiity. The dead

Youths Companion: The teacher Of a
school in Maine tells a story that re-
minds me OF Mary and her little lamb,
only 1t is OF Joe and his little dog
Joe was n boy about eight years DID,
and was devoted 10 a small, lank puppy.
Out OF school hours boy and dog were
Inseparable, and one apparently could
not reconcile himself to the necessity OF
leaving the dog at home. For several
mornings the teacher allowed the puppy
to remain at Joe's feet under the desk.
Then there came day when the small
dog could not be kept quiet. but frisE-
ed about, to the delight OF the school
and the dIsmay OF the teacher.
Joe" she said. firmly. You must
take that dog out"
Joe looked at her mournfully, but
picked up the pup. and with his head
against his cheek started for the door.
The boys feelings were evidently hurt.
but he said nothing until he reached the
door. then giving his teacher a re-
proachful look. with a plying glance
toward the dog, he said, slowly: "And
he's named for you"
