be politics in the proposition is sln-
ply absurd. There should be none
where general public welfare is In
volved and concerned; and the insln-
uation is fiatly contradlcted by the
facts. Every good citizen should sup
port the measure, and see that his
friend and neIghbor supports st. The
proposition is most commendable in
every way and for every reason, unless
as 1t may effect those now holding
evidences Of city debt at higher inter-
est rates.
1--WE have evidences every month Of
the successful funding Of debt In bust
ness enterprises. Every month rail-
roads and big Industrial corporations
find themselves in situation which
may be compared to wheellng's plight,
and easily extricate themselves from
their difficulty by refundIng their
debt. Where would the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad have been to-day II Its
finances had not been handled in this
way. and the company enabled to ex-
tend the maturity OF Its indebtedness,
by making new loans at more favora-
Bile rates? Take any ordinary business
concern or partnership which finds It's
debts maturing too RAPIDLY. It may be
doing profitable business and have
good sources OF income which may be
absorbed by rapidly maturing oblIga-
lions to such an extent that the con-
Germ has no money to maintain Its plant
In good working order and make neces-
cary repairs. BY devoting Its receipts
to paying Off the indebtedness TO the ex-
clusIon OF current operating expenses,
the physical condition OF the plant be-
comes impaired. and It's money-mals=
Ing qualities are thereby materially re-
duced Do you not suppose con-
Germ in this situation. IL 1t had sound
business men at Its head, would seize
an opportunity to make new loans at
lower rates Of interest II the transaction
would result In its being able to pay
or its maturcd indebtedness without In
crossing liabilities and by gaining time
to be able to maintain Its plant and
prepare for the future? This Is being
done constantly in the business world,
and the city could do It Just as easily.

dinnnce. It seems to me that the
chief opposition comes from those who
we're interested in the recent electric
light deal. and must protect the inter-
ess of their clients. This is just and
proper on their part, but do not think
the publlc should allow its interests to
go by default for the benefit of any
small coterie Of gentlemen.
$50 far as have seen. the men who
nrc most enthusiastic in advocating
the refundlng proposition are business
men, who take little interest in poll
tics, and are in no sense politicians,
am glad to see the News support the
ordinance, and l believe It is adopting
the right methods In its fight. and Is
striking many body blows against the
opposition. Every man who pays taxes
and every man who has his wagons
and other vehicles jerked over the
rough streets, should vote for the orr
dlnance. II 1t is defeated. It will be
the greatest mistake that Wheeling
every made: but cannot see how 1t
can be beaten"

FATALITY AT RlVERPOINT.

Thomas Lyons, % years old, n resident
of Riverpoint. was literally cut TO pieces
by two trolley cars, which passed over
him on Allen street. Riverpoint, last
night The man was lying, I'm an intoxi-
Gated condition. between the car rails.
and IL was so o'clock when the horri-
BILE fatality occurred.
Two loaded trolley cars were returning
from a flag raising at Centreville, and
were going at good clip. The motor
man of the first car thought he say
puddle OF water ahead between the rails,
and 1t was not until the car was close
upon the object that the rays of the
headlight disclosed the fact that ii was
the form of a man.
Power was reversed, but II was then too
late, and this car and the one following.
both passed owe rthe body, mutilating it
horri5ly.
The first OF the cars was n bloomer,
in charge of Conductor Fred studley and
Motorman John Capron, and the second
car, a box, was in charge OF Conductor
Myrick and Motorman Butler, but II is
generally admitted that none of these
men could have prevented the accident

The Republican caucuses for the nomi-
nation of candidates for the city council
were held in the several wards of the
city last evening, but with the excep-
tion OF the Second, Fifth and Eighth
wards there was no excitement.
In the Second waro, the regular Re-
publican ticket was defeated, owing 70
the fact that Barney" conaty, and
some Of his associates, working in the
interest of Abraham Gray, deliberately
interfered with the business of a Repub-
lican caucus, and this I'm spite of the
fact that conaty had acted as sort of
steerer in the Democratic caucus on Wed
nesday evening.
The Second ward caucus was packed
by Democrats. teams being engaged in
bringing men from that section of the
ward that has been taken in from the
old Third, and I'm consequence questiona-
bic political methods prevailed 1t Is
doubtful. however, If the political gang
that did the trick will profit by it. as
steps are already being taken 10 give
them fitting rebuke.
REGULAR TICKET WON.
In the Fifth ward the regular ward
much difficulty. and IL was evident that
the opposition had not the strength that
Il had claimed In the Eighth ward the
committees ticket was also successful.
Mr.. Davis being practically sacrificed by
his friends. as he could easily have gone
on the common council ticket. had they
not persistently insisted In running him
against Mr. Parker for alderman.
In the First ward a new ticket was
named. and Il H. evidently very strong
ore, being made up OF representative Re
publicans OF the ward. The results
