WILL COUNCIL ACT To-NIGHTf

II is up to Council to vindicate that
body of the more or less definite
charges made against it.
This is the night for a regular ses-
sion. From the lips Of members of
the body, from private citizens, from
the press, and from the pulpit have
come charges and rumors and insin-
uations of bribery, or attempted brib-
cry. The term is a harsh one in either
sense, and its general and growing
use calls for a prompt, thorough and
impartial inquiry. Wheeling is not
Chicago, and it will not do to allow
our local law-making body and our
municipal officials to rest under ven
the suspicion of purchase for specific
purposes.
The charges were made publicly and
openly in the matter of saloon Ii
censes. Common alleges the
same thing. in other matters, involv-
ing both Council and officials. The
time is opportune for an inquiry
which will settle the matter, one way
or another.
Let some Councilman rise in his
place tonight and offer a resolution
calling upon Judge T. J. Hugus, of
the Criminal Court, to instruct the
coming grand jury to go into this
matter thoroughly. and direct the
~summoning of members and ex-mem-
bers of Council, promoters, stockhold-
ers, officers and directors of corpora
tions, attorneys-at-law. city officials,
saloon keepers, gamblers, slot ma
chine men, and any other who may
be known or suspected of possessing
information, and have them, upon
their oaths, tell what they know. Let
check books be examined and bank
books brought before the jury, and
the matter once and forever settled.
1t is UP to Council. Will that body
act tonight?

SAW THE ERROR OF HIS WAYS.

The other night an e~nterprising
Brooklyn burglar went over to New
York and broke into an imposing res
idence in the highest style of the noe
turnal art, and proceeded to gather
together such valuables as struck his
fancy. With typical discrimination
and professional good taste he selected
such trifies as could be easily and prof
itably turned into coin, and when his
sack vas about full he espied a large
and valuable silver loving cup. Burg
lars dote upon loving cups, for they
are generally the result Of p%resenta-
tons by admiring friends, and are apt
TO be solid and the real thing. The
burglar "hefted" this one 1t was
heavy. Then he turned UP the gas and
looked at the inscription, and 10! it
read: TO our honored friend, Chief of
Police Devery." Then the burglar
tainted. When he came to he
slipped out of that house with
rather more stealth than he
had used in entering, and when a
mile away procured a stiff drink. WHIP
ed the perspiration from his pale but
fevered brow, and mentally adopted
resolutions of q reformatory character.
It's a mean burglar who would rob the
residence of the New York Chief of Po-
lice.

Cause and Effect of Strikes.

New York World.
A correspondent in an earnest spirit of
inquiry asks our opinion as to the bene-
fit of strikes. He questions the wisdom of
conditions which cause strike He de-
sires to know if anything was ever gained
by strikes that could not have been gained
by arbitration.
The conditions which cause strikes can
not be avoided so long as employers are
not satisfied with fair profits. The law
limits the profits of pawnbrokers and fixes
a penalty for usury, but it gives an abso-
lutely free hand to every trust. every
monopoly and every combination
of capital in the country to put their
heels on the neck of labor in order to
reach for more grapes.
Arbitration? How can you arbitrate
when employers, backed by the law, by
the courts and on occasions by rifles, re-
fuse to arbitrate?
a few years ago one-fourth of all the
railroads in this country went on strike.
The strikers suffered, the railroads suf-
fered, and both lost much money, simply
because the employers refused TO discuss
matters with the employed.
The strike was lost by the workingmen,
just as nine out of ten strikes are lost:
but the lesson still lives. The loss of a
few dollars by each Individual strike is
forgotten, but the loss of accommodating
millions by the railroads VIII be a bitter
memory for years to come.
IL may have been the memory Of this
strike that caused the New York Central
to arbitrate with it's men a few weeks
ago.
We deplore strikes and the necessity
for strikes, but he who says that labor
has not been benefited by strikes speaks
fo~olishly.
In its eternal fight with capital. labor
edges slowly along, gaining a step here
and there. fighting. as it is entitled to
fight. for bettr hours and higher wages
and seldom relinquishing a point once
gained.
Were it not for this endless vigilance
labor would never have crawled out of
the rut of half a century ago. when men
worked for half a dollar a day.

TAYLoR's CASE DISMISSED.

The Supreme Court of the United

has handed down an opinion in the APP
peal case of ". S. Taylor. claiming TO
be Governor of Kentucky. dismissing
the case. The result is the confrma-
ton of Mr.. Beckham as Governor by the
highest Court in the land, and leaves
Taylor without a leg to stand upon.
This is just what was to have
been expected. for no one seriously
questions the power OF a State to de-
termine the qualifications of its own
officials, so long as the State legislative
bodies and Courts keep within the
limits of the Federal Constitution. In
Kentucky this was done, and the Su-
preme Court says it has no jurisdiction.

THE REPORTER AT THE FRONT.

The South African war, in common
with all other modern wars, brings
forth heroes belonging neither to the
army or navy. They do not bear arms,
are not under the protection of
the Red Cross, and they hold no office.
They are simply newspaper reporters,
and their only commission is-to get
the news. And to obtain it they brave
all dangers and run all risks. including
privation and hardship, as great as
those Of any private on the firing line,
on the advance or in the retreat. In
the past seven months of the struggle
at the Cape twelve correspondence
number CT them of international fame
have been killed or wounded, or have
died of disease, while others are, per-
haps permanently broken in health.
They have been with the advance col
umns of both British and Beers, have
been bottled up at Kimberley, MAIZE
king and Ladysmith, were with the
charge at Spion Kop, and in the
forefront of the battle at Magersfon-
tein. They have tramped all night,
noted the fighting all day and walked
or ridden all next night and day to
reach a wire, cold, hungry, wet and
dirty, but they have never failed in
their duty to their newspapers and the
public. The war newspaper reporter
| should have some sort of recognition,
but as yet those who come out of war
unscathed wear neither cross of honor
or order of merit. They must be con-
tent with the knowledge of duty we'll
performed.
