For q School Building.

Carleton Post, G.. A. R., met last even
ing and refused to give up its new quar-
tiers on the reservation for school pur-
poses. The post deems that 1t has not
the right to divert the use Of the build
ing from the purpose for which 1t was
granted to the post. This decision will
hurry the erection Of q new central
school building, as the money now spent
for Office rent, janitor's salary, repairs
and other purposes which are not strict
ly necessary might more than pay the
interest on a $4,000 bond issue to be
spent for a new and modern school
house.

EVOLUTION OF "GUN.v
It's Application to the Murderous
Weapon of To-day,

weapon of To-day.
From the New Orleans Democrat.
The volution of the word gum forms
an interesting little study in up-to-date
etymology," remarked one of a party of
newspaper men taking lunch together. "a
dozen or so years ago we all understood
gun to mean a fowling piece--a shotgun
as distinguished from rifle or a musket
Heavy and light ordnance, in fact all
pieces of artillery, without regard to size,
were known as cannon. That, of course
was in the confines of civilization, where
people made an effort to speak English.
Out In the frontier the word gun was APP
pied exclusively to pistols, and when
citizen of Tombstone, A. T., or Deadwood,
Dakota, invited another citizen to pull
his gun he was always understood to refer
TO the 45-caliber instrument worn as
chateiatne belt ornament by everybody in
good society in those localities.
nowadays the nomenclature has curl
ously changed. By degrees the good OLD
term gun has BECOME monopolized by the
long, slim, murderous machines that con-
sutute our modern artillery. We speak
or quick-fire guns, wire-wound guns au-
tomato guns, S-inch, 1O-inch, Pinch
guns, ana the word seems 6ingularly apro-
pos. They are not cannon. Cannon" I'M

OBSERVATIONS BY "OBSERVER".
WHEELING, June 81, 1899

WF1EEIiING, June -, 1000.
To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-In it's abundant liberality, the
Committee on Ordinances recommend
ed that an ordinance shall be passed
by Council giving the National Tele-
phone Company twenty-four months,
i. e.: two years, to construct either
an overhead or underground system,
as may please the company. 1t is
needless to call attention to the mani
fest certainty that this company will
not build an underground system, but
on the contrary, if it creates one OF
any kind, it will be a cheap overhead
pole and wire affair.
This liberal committee makes no re-
quirements as to the beginning Of the
work. A half dozen or so poles erect
ed, a few wires stretched and three or
four telephones connected up, and be-
hold! the company's overhead system
is complete. Such work could be done
in the last day or two of the last of
the t~wenty-four months. What a
chance this ordinance presents for the
placing of the SO a share stock before
any work is required to be done.
And. as if to display greater gener-
osity, the committee gives four months
for the acceptance of the ordinance.
Sucking babes would disgrace them
selves if they approved such a measure.
Two long years to complete a system
absolutely underlined in extent, except
that it is to be in the city of Wheeling.
1t may be one square in extent or doz-
ems of squares. The city can't dictate.
no matter what the public needs may
be in the future.
Officers of the city and Councilmen,
if they desire to have a good name and
reputation, should exercise care in the
selection of the company they keep.
The tongue of scandal is easily started
and men are judged by their associates.
"a word to the wise is sufficient"
The public when aroused are apt to re
tire to penitence and oblivion, those
they either justly or u~njustly believe
to be unfaithful servants. There's a
child among We taking notes, and faith
he'll print EN-"

MILES FORESAW 1T

1t turns out hat as far back as
April Gen. Miles warned the President
of the seriousness of the situation in
the Philippines, which was plain to his
experienced and practiced eye, and ad-
vlsed him then 10 at once organize half
Of the volunteer regiments permitted
under the army bill and send them at
once to the Philippines.
But Miles sound advice was ignored
just as Miles, himself, has been ignor-
ed and kept in the background by the
President, who appears to be jealous
of his popularity.
Had Miles's advice then been taken
and ten more regiments sent at once
to the Philippines, it is thought by
military authorities that the Filipinos
might have been crushed by a series of
decisive and effective blows. AT n
rate, afraid of IL apparent strength,
it is more than likely they would soon
have sued for peace.
But the time for such prompt and de-
cisive action has passed. The Fill
ipinOs know our great point of weak
ness n how to wear out our troops
by a guerilla warfare. They are no
longer afraid of our decimated and
worn out army and it is predicted that
in the absence of speedy reinforcements
the Americans during the rainy season
will be compelled to give up all they
have captured and take refuge in the
City of Manila, as the Spaniards before
them were forced to do.
By declining to take the advice of
the head of the army, whose Judgment
is matured, lest it might cast a trife
of credit on Gen. Miles, and by de-
pending on that team of incompetents,
Alger and Corbin, both d%iscredited SOL
diers, the President has made a total
failure of the Philippine campaign to
date and has necessitated the sending
of at FEAST 100000 more troops to these
Asiatic islands in order to accomplish
anything in the way Of subjugating
them. And the worst of it is these
troops when they arrive will be raw
and unacclimated and practically I'M
fit for steady duty for some time.
1t is a sorry condition, indeed, and
is largely the outcome of trying to con-
duct a war through an incompetent
War Department, managed by politi-
clans and without the assistance or ad-
vice of the General of the army.
How much longer is this farce to con-
tinue?
