Business men and citizens generally
in wheeling and Benwood are looking
forward with interest to what win de-
velop from the meeting of the chamber
Of commerce and citizens, to be called
for one evening next week, at which to
consider the situation with reference to
the contemplated improvements Of the
National Tube Company at its River
side iron works plant. It is generally
realized that, unless the property own
ers in North Benwood who are holding
out for exorbitant prices for their real
estate, can be induced to take reason
able prices, the Improvement viii be
lost to Wheeling.
In certain quarters It has been stated
that the improvements will come
whether the property owners come to
reasonable terms or not. In support Of
this 1t has been cited that the local
Riverside officials are doing ali in their
power to make the chamber Of COM
merce meeting a success, especially in
the way Of furnishing data for the
meeting to work on. Nothing could be
farther from the truth. It should be
remembered that the local officials no
longer control the policy of the con-
Germ; possibly If the control was in the
hands of Wheeling people the improve
ments would be made even II exorbl-
tant prices had to be paid. But 1t is
the executive board of the National
Tube Company that has the disposition
Of this matter. and 1t is just as Colonel
Hearne so pertinently said through the
Intelligencer last Friday:
The improvements were settled upon for
Wheeling on the showing l was able 70
make before our executive board, but this
showing could not be realized II we were
to accede to the demands being made upon
us. The executive board has not the same
interest in Wheeling's welfare that have,
and which made me DESTROYS OF bringing
the improvements here. The members OF
the board have other personal preferences,
and II cannot show that II is good
business move to improve the Riverside,
most certainly the improvements will go
elsewhere, and l will say In all candOr
that have all but given up the struggle.
In other words, there is no sentiment
In this matter; Wheeling must either
make good the showing originally pre-
sented by Colonel Hearne to his exec
utive board, or the plant is lost to this
community.
The chamber of commerce meeting
has not yet been called, but Secretary
Hazlett has said 1t would be held one
evening next week.

the city blanks on which to Ill the
amount Of premiums collected from
policy holders during the six months
ending December 81. 1888, on which the
city collects a tax Of one-haf OF one
per cent. Before Mr.. Forgey entered
the receivers office this little matter
did not receive much attntlon. and the
average yearly collections footed about
S4OO. In 1881 Mr.. Forgey collected
1920, in 1898 the same amount, and in
1889 the amount increased to 3l,Sls, rep
resenting fire and life Insurance prem
iums paid by Wheeling people to the
amount Of S262. 12O. Agents commits
sions on these premiums were about
$4,000, so 1t will be seen that life and
FIRE insurance is a pretty good busi-
ness in Wheeling.

torney General In the Presidents behalf,
besides the bearing which the evidence
thus ELECTED has upon the broad question
of the guilt Of the accused. An officer
whose duty and practice are to furnish eX
parte opinions for the guidance of admin
istrative officers is thus substituted to he
place of the tribunal of final appeal And
the example cited is only one of a multi
tude of issues which must be treated IN the
same anomalous way.
The Carter case shows that either the
law governing cour tsnartal should be
amended so that. at trials of such serious
import a civil judge of eminence, desig-
mated by the President, shall preside. or
that an accused officer shall, under Ger
tain conditions have the right to demand
rial before "a civil instead OF a military
court. The offeuse of which Carter IS con
victed is one which has only an incidental
connection with The military service, arts
ing out of the fact that our government
employs, for reasons Of LOnomy, military
rather than civil engineers 10 supervise
certain public improvements. Courtsmar-
tal are, al best, narrow affairs, ecuipDed
with the means OF dealing with certain
line of military offenses, not with general
ofenses against the social order. Imagine
what would happen If a military court
should undertake to try an army ofhcet
for murder as the military court tired
Carter for conspiracy to deiraud the gov
ernment All that the civilian witnesses
10 The homicide would have to do, If they
did not care 10 be drawn into such dis
agreeable business, would be to step across
the state line and stay till the court got
tired of waiting for them. This illustrates
only one of The limitations of a courtmar-
tial; but what lover of justice would be so
foolish as TO submit TO il, when civil courts
of jurisdiction commensurate with the

Entirely apart from any question OF
Capt Carriers guilt or innocence; his case
is fun of valuable suggestions; and all

gress at work in the direction of prevent
ing a repetition of them when the next
