YOUNG MEN IN WAR.

The New York World sneers at the
appointment of young "Bertie" Paget
to command in South Africa, upon
the seemingly single ground that
he is young in years, and not
therefore, fitted for minor position in
the field.
Is a soldier to be condemned because
he is young? What has the World to
say of that aggregation of young men
almost boys-who surrounded the al
most boyish Napoleon the Great? How
about Lannes, and Ney, and Junot,
and Dessaix, and Davorst, and Berna-
dotte, and Marmont, and Macdonald,
and Moreau, and Oudinot, and st.
Cyr and Bruno, and Augereau, and
Joubert, and Massena, and the rest of
that brilliant group of youths who
carried French arms to every capital
in Europe except Constantinople?
A soldier is not to be condemned
because he is young. Alexander the
great was only thirty-two when he
died, and Caesar was not old.

THE AMERICAN WOMAN ALONE.

The New York World declares that
the citizen of that town who left his
wife alone on the side walk while he
went into the Waldorf Astoria Hotel,
the other evening, was guilty of a
great imprudence,' because while he
was absent a well-dressed scoundrel
insulted the lady, followed her across
the street when she attempted to es-
cape, and finally the returning hus-
band had to resort to violence in vim
dication of the insult. 1t is difficult
to believe that respectable lady is
not safe ii left alone for two or three
minutes in front of the largest hotel
in the Metropolis. 1t ought to be pos
sible for her to remain there indefi-
nitely or walk about alone without the
fact exciting remark; much less invit-
ing insult. What's the matter with
New York? And where are the no.
lice.

SPRING TINE DELUS|ONS.
FACT VS.. CONJECTURE.
A Few Valuable Hints to Those Who
Are Quick to Take Advantage OF
Timely Suggestions.

Just now the advertising space OF the
average newspaper is filed with advertise
ments of spring time medicines, blood puri-
hers. etc. When it is understood as a
scientific truth that the Kidneys liver and
lungs are the only blood purifiers of the
human body, much disappointment and
money will be saved. Dizziness, palpita-
ton, languid feelings, headache, backache,
ETC., are caused by the system being
poisoned by uric acid which the kidneys,
through overwork or weakness, do not
eliminate. The troubles mentioned are but
symptoms. The cause lies deeper. Put
the kidneys and liver in working order with
that vegetable specific, Warmers Safe Cure,
and the symptoms and attendant troubles
will disappear. With the system in first
class condition and the great organs of
life doing the work nature intended them
to do. most diseases the thrown off. 1t is
the weakened, debilitated, poisoned body
which falls an easy, prey to chills, fevers,
pneumonia, consumption, Bright's disease
and death No man or woman can afford
to do, most diseases are thrown off. 1t is
the part Of wisdom to keep well. Miss
Florence Buffum, Secretary of the Ishwara
Philosophical Society, of Minneapolis, I'M
derstands this perfectly, and under date of
January oath last, writes: II have found
Warmers Safe Cure of high value. 1t
greatly assists a WORKOUT system to per-
form its duties, and whenever any of my
friends become languid or pale and full of
palms. ! advise them TO try Warmers Safe
Cure, feeling assured that they will be
satisfied with the result" Miss Buffum' $

JUSTICE OF A JUSTICE.

At West Haverstraw, New York, a
few days ago, Justice Murray arraign-
ed five boys on the charge of throwing
stones at a passenger train. The de-
PENDANTS were all accompanied by their
parents, and after careful enquiry
there was a verdict of guilty. The
sentence imposed was that each parent
should pay fine of five dollars for his
boy" or severely thrash the said boy
then and there, in the presence of the
Court. Every boy was promptly whip
ped in unison, and the punishment
was probably a better and more ap-
propriate one than the infection of a
fine This precedent is respectfully re-
ferred to our local justices, with pow
er to act.

THE LAST SCENE OF ALL.

John Mooney has at last entered up
on the last scene of his unlawful ca
reer. A jury of his fellow citizens,
sworn to try him upon the evidence
in his last crime, has weighed him in

fate is shared by his partner in crime,
the man known as Frank Friday No
recommendation for mercy tempers the
verdict, and in due time the extreme
penalty for the worst form of law
lessness will doubtless be inflicted.
The Court, the prosecuting attorneys,
the law officers of the county and the
police are to be congratulated upon
their indefatigable efforts and upon
the result attained. The defense was
all that could be expected, and the de-
PENDANTS had every opportunity.
OF Fridays past career, little is
known. MONEYS record is dark one.
Still young man-probably not over
thirty-five years of age-he has been

The Register says, without reserva-

the prompt arrest of these men on the

ever done. But they do not deserve

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court recently render
ed decision, the opinion of the Court
being by Judge Brannon, which is OF
the greatest interest and Importance
to the people of Wheeling and other
cities and towns throughout the State.
To Wheeling it has peculiar and par
ticular application, because it appears
g sweep away the exclusive feature
of the Wheeling Electrical Company
md to abrogate and nullify the act
If the Legislature compelling the city
% purchase the material plant of that
corporation before it can enter upon
electric lighting. This question. it is
true, did not enter directly into the
rase calling forth the decision, but
The result appears to follow neverthe-
less.
The case in point comes from Clarks-
burg, and had its origin in this way:
December 16, 1887, the Council of that
town granted to the Clarksburg Elec-
trio Light Company the exclusive right
and privilege for twenty years to build
and operate light plant. In 1895
the Traders Company built plant for
its own use, but sometime after it
was in operation others applied to the
Traders Company for lights. Under
ali ordinance granted by the town
Council the Traders Company began to
erect its pole line, but was stopped by
an injunction obtained by the Electric
Light Company. The case was heard
in the Harrison Circuit Court, and the

sued to the majority in Congress his or
ders of the day. These comprise the
passage of the Nicaragua bill in the House
and of the steamship subsidy bill in the
Senate, with the postponement of them
both until after the Presidential election.
When issued by the highest authority the
orders are not subject to discussion; but
there is one obstacle in the way of their
complete accomplishment. The Democrats
of the Senate may require SO much time
to discuss the Philippine bill that it will
be impossible to consider the subsidy bill
in what remains of the present session.

Injunction dissolved, whereupon the
Electric Light Company appealed to
the Supreme Court, which has susV i'm
ed the Court below, and holds that no
municipal authority in this State can
grant any exclusive franchise to any
corporation. The syllabus in its first
section, says:
The Council of the town Of Clarksburg
IN 1897 had no power either under its
charter or under the general laws. govern
for twenty years to private corporation
to use its streets for the conveyance of
electricity for public use in the city. Such
from granting to another corporation,
within said town. the privilege to occupy
its streets for the same purpose. Such ex,
contract protected by the provisions in
the Federal or State constitutions forbid
ding the passage Of any law impairing the
obligations of contracts.
This decision is not only important
in the field of electric lighting, under
the circumstances obtaining in Wheel
ing, but also applies to every other
public utility for the operation OF
which corporations must apply to
Councils for rights and powers. Coun-
ellis can no longer shut out a second
or third corporation because there is
a pioneer interest in operation. The
late-comer has as much right to enjoy
public privileges as the earlier. and
thus the public is benefited through
competition, enhanced conveniences
and, perhaps, more modern appliances
and methods. Equally important is
the fact that this decision opens the
door to obtaining proper remunera
ton for public rights. Councils can
say to those soliciting franchises: I'VE
will grant what you ask under proper
conditions, but there must be recon-
pense to the public, and we reserve not
only the right to fix that remuneration
for valuable concessions, but to regu-
late it hereafter during you corporate
life" This is condition of affairs,
for which the people have
been hoping for years, and its re-
alization appears to be close at hand,

. THE POINT OF VIEW.

Chinese Ambassador WI has been
observing some of our American hab-
its and methods with a critical eye,
and among others our American dress
for the male portion of humanity, and
as result has been moved to remark
that the garments worn by masculine
Americans are not conducive to eth
er comfort or convenience, and pre-
sumes to suggest that the flowing
robes of the effete East constitute a
much better raiment.
This is the result Of dense Oriental
ignorance, beyond a doubt. What, for
instance could be more comfortable on
a hot day than a billed" shirt, sur
mounted by three-inch collar, and
decorated with cuffs of sheet iron
character? Is not the "stove-pipe
hat of sainted memory the en-
bodirnent of grace and the
ideal of beauty? Isn't the "dicer
model head-gear? Are not
patent leather shoes the acme of COM
fort, and the double-breasted vest a
garment not to be excelled? Is the
Prince Albert coat to be criticised, and
the "spike-taip' held up to scorn? Are
not narrow trousers, we'll creased, the
most mature conception of the en-
lightened mind, and the red necktie
an inspiration?
Ambassador WI is trifling with
sacred things, and knows not what
he's doing. First thing he knows he'll
get his passports, We want no sug-
gestions from Asia.
