THE SAME OLD SCHEME.

The observant reader of the local
newspapers has not failed to note in
two of them, during the past eight
days, articles inspired and probably
dictated by the gentlemen whose chief
aim in life appears to be a determine
ton to force a general refunding Or
dinance upon the taxpayers of Wheel
ing, despite reason, common business
sense, the interests of the public, or
anything else. The ear-marks upon
these publications are plain. They
have familiar and characteristic
cast Of countenance, and assert, in the
old-time way and with the old-time
voice that unless the refunders have
their way salt will not save the mu-
nicipality.
This is all very tiresome. 1t is also
expensive. The voters of Wheeling
have twice defeated refunding schemes
and the bill has been as heavy as it
was unnecessary. The literary bureau
has now inaugurated a third campaign,
and the outlook is that we shall have
to go over the old ground once more,
to the consequent unnecessary de-
pletion of the public pocket book
Is there no way to enforce rational
ideas upon the refunders? They are
deaf to the voice of the people. given
with no uncertainty upon two occas-
ions. Must there be third trial of a
hopeless case?

A Pacific cable at least as far as
Honolulu, appears to be an assured
fact. The Senate has passed a bill ap-
propriating three million dollars for
the construction of the line, under the
supervision of the Navy Department
The House will doubtless concur. and
a year hence the line may be in oper-
alton. A further extension to Guam
and then to Manila, is but a question
of time.

A GOOD OMEN.

If we are to judge by the result Of
yesterdays ball game the Wheeling
aggregation of talent is we'll prepared
to give a good account of itself dur
ing the coming season Of regularly
scheduled games. The home team
showed up we'll and did effective work
with the stick and in the field, the
Rochester club at no time endangering
the result of the friendly contest.
Messrs. Healy and Lytle are to be
congratulated upon the results achiev-
ed, and the Registers wish is that the
club may pursue a victorious career
until the last scheduled game is end
ed. The people of this city and vicin-
ity will give the home team loyal sup
port, and ask in return good ball."

ing was preached by Rev. Clacy. who
spoke of the missionaries in China
and the trouble there at this time.
He said: II think the door of
China will be opened for the gospel
throughout that land. Where one
schoolhouse is now demolished by the
mob two will be built. When all
buildings are destroyed, better and
larger ones will take their place. The
missionaries fleeing for their lives in
other portions are only waiting to go
back and do greater and grauder
work" Rev. Clacy has been in In
dia nine years. He spoke especially
of the children in that land. About
/. 900 children will be cared for this
year by the missionary society. They
will be placed in schools and educated.

the meeting. She asked that the last
stanza of From Greenland's Icy
Mountains" be sung with intense en-
thusiasm. She said that what you
pray for you must expect to receive.
Every morning one will see multi
ing and bowling. The missionary
work is carried on among men and
women separately; men work for men
and women for women. After the
address plea was made for help. A
collection was taken and 1892 re-
ceiyed.
