TAKING THE WRONG COURSE.

The majority of the Board OF County
Commissioners appear to be determln-
ed to so frame the proposed railroad
loan ordinance as TO call for the i'm
mense sum of half a million dollars,
and this in the face of the fact that
loan of quarter of million, aided
to the proceeds of the sale OF the
"Pewiky" stock, would meet every re-
quirement of the situation, as the Reg
lister has twice pointed out. Why bur-
den the people unnecessarily? The
tax bills this year, without bond is
sue. will be larger than over before,
through the revaluation, and il, on top
of this undoubted fact the Board in
sists on a loan for 100000 when $780,
coo would do, it will stir up an an
tagonistic public sentiment which viii
probably jeopardize the whole railroad
project so far as Wheeling and Ohio
county is concerned.
Members of the Board OF Commls-
sioners should reflect. We did not put
money into the "Pewiky" to make
money. We invested there to assure
the building of a valuable enterprise,
Just as in the case of the Termlnal.
When the result sought is obtained all
has been accomplished, and success has
been won. The "Pewiky" has proved
a noney-maker for Ohio county; the
Terminal produced nothing to the
county. But in each case we got what
we went after-a railroad. Now, why
not take the two-for-one proceeds OF
the contribution to the successful
"Pevikv" enterprise and devote 1t to
securing still another railroad, making
the additional bond issue only as large
as is absolutely necessary? This
would be common sense. 1t would
mean lighter public burden. The de-
sired end would be reached. And then,
in the fullness of time, if the new rail-
road is a good thing and pays-and we
believe it will be-that investment
would in turn be available to aid in
getting something else.
Members of the Board of Commits
sioners are presumed to be anxious and
willing to do the best thing all around,
at the least cost to the people. But to
make the loan ordinance call for half
a million dollars, under the circIsta1-
ces, will not measure up to IL: proper
standard of public duty.
Take a sober second thought, gen
tlemen, and make no mistake. Upon
your action may depend the fate OF a
very valuable and desirable enter
prise.

A HINDU LEGEND OF
THE CREATION OF WOMAN

AT the beginning of time, Twashtri-the
Vulcan of the Hindu mythology
the world. But when he wished TO create
a woman he found that he had employed
all his material in the creation Of man.
There did not remain one solid clement.
Then r., perplexed, fell into a profound
meditation. He reused himself to do as
follows: He took the roundness OF the
moon, the fluctuations of the serpent, the
enhancement of climbing plants, the tren-
bling of the grass, the slenderness of the
rose plant and the velvet OF the flower,
the lightness of the leaf and the glance of
the fawn, the gayety of the suns rays
and the tears Of the mist, the Inconsistency
of the wind and the timidity of the hare,
the vanity of the peacock and the softness
of the down on the throat of the swallow,
the hardness of the diamond and the
sweet flavor of honey, and the cruelty of
the tiger the warmth of fire, the chill of
snow, the chatter of the jay and the COO
ing of the turtle dove. He united all this
and formed a woman Then he made
present of her to man. Eight days later
the man came to Twashtri and said:
My lord the creature you gave me
poisons my existence. She chatters with
out rest she takes all my time. she la
ments for nothing at all and is always
ILL.," And T. received the woman again.
But eight days later the man came
again to the god and said: My lord, my
life is very solitary since | returned this
creature l remember she danced before
me, singing. l recall how she glanced
at me from the corner of her eye, that
she played with me, chung to me-" And
Twashtri returned the woman to him.
Three days only passed and I. saw the
man coming to him again. My lord,
said he, Il do not understand exactly
how. but 1 am sure that the woman
causes me more annoyance than pleas
ure. 1 beg of you to relieve me of her.
But T. cried: Go your way and do your
best" And the man cried Il cannot live
with her" Neither can you live without
her." cried T.
And the man was sorrowful, murmur-
ing: "Woe is me, 1 can neither live with
or without her"
This is found in an English translation
OF a book of Hindu legends recently dis
covered. The title of the book is ''Of a
Finger of the Moon Redeemed by the Set
ting Sum-" and is the sixth part of a large
work THE Surging of the Ocean of
Time" 1t is written in Sanskrit, and the
original manuscript was given to an Eng
lishman-Mr. Bain-by an old Brahmin
dying of the plague. The other five parts
are not translated.

A NOTABLE OCCURRENCE.

That was an unprecedented thing
which occurred in the House of Rep
resentatiyes at Washington, last
Thursday, when the body passed, with
out an adverse vote, the free home
bill, fathered by the venerable Galusha
A. Grow, member at large from Penn
sylvania-
Thirty-eight years ago-in 1862-Mr
Grow was member of the House, as
now, occupying the Speakers chair,
secured the enactment of a similar
measure. The House remembered the
event, and not only did it pass the new
bill, which throws open to settlers

ROCI1EFELLER'S RIGHTEOUSNESS.
John D. Rockefeller is very rich
man. He is also an enthusiastic
church member, giving his allegiance
to the Baptists. His church is Euclid
Avenue Baptist Church, OF Cleveland,
Of which Rev. II. G. Applegarth is
pastor. Mr.. Rockefeller has given
much Of his income of $4,000 per day
to the church he processes to believe
in, and few Sundays ago, in COM
menting upon his generosity, his pas
tor said from the pulpit
"While some people have charged Mr..
Rockefeller with stealing the money he
has given to the church, he has laid 1t on
the altar and has thus sanctified it,"
This remark was indiscreet. 1t pro-
voked Mr.. Rockefeller's wrath, and as
a result Mr.. Applegarth is open TO en-
gagements.
The incident came to the attention
Of Rev. w. H. Cossum. missionary
from China, and at the eighty-third
session Of the American Baptist Mis-
siOnary Union he said:
What our denomination needs is not
rich men, but holy men. A New York
millionaire has offered me a great gift.
l say that great gift should not be ac-
cepted unless John d. Rockefeller first
makes confession to the American people.
We must accept no money that does not
come from clean hands. Let Mr.: rock
Teller purify himself AMI bring il this
gift as a righteous, a q d-fearing man,
and then we can accept it
1t is now Mr.. Rockefeller's turn to
take the floor. Is he prepared to say
his hands are clean, and his religious
professions sincere? His answer will
be awaited with some interest.

three delegates, and these might be di-
vided geographically in such manner
as to thoroughly represent the First

assigned to the Panhandle, one to

He who pauses, even briefly, to
contemplate the preparations for war
Oh the ocean by the great powers, in
gliding the United States, must inev
ltably wonder where it is all going
% end. The naval programmes by
the nations of the world are upon a
scale unprecedented and stupendous.
And the more ships built, the more
must be built. 1t is a race for SUI
prcmacy and preponderance upon the
seas, and millions by the hundreds
are being devoted to floating fortress
es with persistency and determina-
ton which may well attract public
attention and careful thought.
Our own naval bill this year calls
for sixty-three millions dollars-a
sum without precedent, yet we are away
behind in the race. Germany has nine
battle ships under construction, and
has programme extending over eigh-
teen years calling for S400,000,000. In
that time and for that money she will
add to her navy nineteen first-class
battle ships, eight first class cruisers,
fifteen second class cruisers, and many
smaller ships. England has under
construction seventeen first class bat
tie ships, twenty first class armored
cruisers, four protected cruisers, five
gun boats, twenty-one torpedo boat de-
stroyers, and number of other YES
sells. Russia is straining the capacity
of her ship yards to add to her navy,

The Oregon election takes place
next month. The Democrats and Pop
ulists have combined on a State tick
ct, and the platform opposes wars
of conquest and colonial possessions,
denounces militarism, and the doctrine
that IAN executive or a Congress cre-
ated and limited by the Constitution
can exercise lawful authority beyond
that Constitution and in violation OF
it." The Porto Rican bill is condemned.
and sympathy with the Beers is ex-
pressed, while the Chicago platform is
reaffirmed. On the Republican side
the Mckinley administration is en-
dorsed, and his denomination favored.
The issues of the coming campaign
are well epitomized in the Oregon
contest, and the result will be inter-
esting. In 1896 Mckinley carried the
State by plurality Of 2,117.

tain Alfred T. Mahan, the naval
authority, says we need at once, in adj
