On the l4th OF this month the annual
assembly OF the League OF American
Wheelmen convenes at Philadelphia.
How important the decisions arrived at
during the coming meeting may prove
Is probably hardly appreciated except
by very few wheelmen who are inter-
ested in the welfare Of cycling, Some
few years ago the l.. A. W. had men,
bership Of over 100000 whereas now
there are hardly more than one-half
that number enrolled on the books Of
the organization.
A large percentage OF these cyclists

fused 70 discontinue It's nominal con-

II is also fair to assume that hundreds
Of others have not Joined for the same
reason who otherwise would have done
SO. OF course, a certain percentage OF
the membership wishes the league to
continue In the vain endeayor to govern
the racing men, but these have long
since been proved TO be a small minor
ity.
The league has recently started

gress 10 appropriate 5000, 900 for good

whole country. Now, II the league pol

turn their attention TO good roads and
other kindred matters which properly

small doubt that many Of those who
have dropped from the rolls during the
past two years will renew their men,
bership and that others viii also enter
the fold.
II Il were wen understood that the l..
A. w. would in future devote its entire
attention TO such matters as good roads,
side paths. touring and TO other matters
tending to advance the interests Of
wheelmen, the organization would soon
become the great force II once was for
the rights Of cyclists before this un-
fortunate racing controversy rent II In
twain.
There has been a proposal made that
the league should give UP the control Of
the professionals and stlll keep the
management Of amateur racing. Now,

perfectly well that II was the amateurs

THE activity In boxing circles dur
Ing the past year has induced
many young fellows to take 20
sparrlng, and as consequence new
corners In the roped arena are reported
every day. One Of the most likely Of
these lads Is kid" Broad. who sprang
from mediocrity into the front ranks OF
the featherweights literally in a night
II was his Victory over Joe Bernstein
last month that brought Broad into ia
yorable notice 50 suddenly.
Before that battle he was rated as on
the average with lots OF other little fell
lows Of his weight. whereas now he Is
picked as one OF Terry McGoyern's most
dangerous opponents In the near future.
Broad has been engaged In fighting
for several years. and his string Of bat
ties IL a long one yet there is only one
defeat charged against him, That was
the decision George Dixon got over him
last May after 20 rounds Of hot work.
Few fighters Of Broads age and expert
ence can look back on such a list Of
victories against such good men.
The fact that he has defeated Jack
Hamilton, Dave sullivan and Joe
Bernstein stamps him as a fighter Of
unusual ability and one who must be
taken into consideration no matter
against whom he may be pitted.
Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1900-02-10

In his recent encounter with Bern
stein Broad clearly demonstrated his
superiority over his opponent all
through the battle although he did not
manage to knock Joe out. As matter
Of fact, Bernstein was very groggy and
all but out In the first round and was
knocked clean of his feet in the sew
enth.
Broad was born In Wales, but was
brought TO this country when only 2
years Of age by his parents, who are
still living at Cleveland. o. The kid"
Is q years old In many important re-
spects he resembles Champion Terry
McGovern very closely. He neither

forcing the fighting from the beginning

proposition viewed IN any light. In the
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-05-07
THE ENGLISH ADVANCE.

Lord Roberts appears to have made
a distinct beginning in his advance
towards Pretoria within the last few
days. His army is swinging north
over a path approximately fifty miles
wide, and Brandford, twenty-five miles
north of Bloemfontein, has been sue
cessfully occupied, while the advance
guard has crossed the Vet river, TWEEN
ty-five miles further north. Far to the
west, on the line for the relief of MAIZE
king, General Hunter has crossed the
Vaal river, but his troops are still
nearly two hundred miles south of their
destination. The extreme advance
posts of Roberts army are still one
hundred and seventy-five miles south
of Pretoria, and the country is a rough
one, well suited to defensive warfare.
The Beers appear to be moving to the
northeast of the English army under
Roberts, possibly with the intention
of turning the right flank and menac-
ing or cutting communications. The
overwhelming numbers of the English
are being seriously felt by the Beers,
yet the war is not altogether one-sid-
ed, and sharp fighting is to be looked
for during the coming week.

stantly increasing activity of the De-
mocracy of West Virginia. The party
is preparing for the coming contest,
in every State in the Union with a de-
termination never before excelled, and
in this State it is showing a visible
earnestness which presages an over
whelming victory. From all quarters
of the State come authoritive reports
of Democratic enthusiasm, large and
harmonious conventions, and a deep
interest in both State and national is
sues, and here in Ohio county the same
thing is more amply demonstrated,
for the suggestion meetings were
probably never so well attended or by
such a representative class of voters.
1t is a good sign. 1t shows the people
are taking an interest in the conduct
of their public affairs as they have
not for many years. Let the good work
go on. 1t means much to Ohio county,
to all the other counties, to the State
Of West Virginia and to the republic.

THE RAILROAD LOAN.

The public of Ohio county has taken
very kindly to the suggestion of the
Register that the proposed loan ordi-
nance in aid of the projected railroad
to the Greene county coal and coke
fields shall be limited to S250,000, and
that the county's stock in the "Pewiky''
should be disposed of to make up the
difference between the sum above
named and the half million dollars
the promoters of the new company
ask from this county 1t is generally
son for bonding the county for half a
million, when half that sum will be
sufficient to attain the end in sight
the securing of a railway line greatly
desired for twenty years past, and
which, it is conceded, would be of
great value to this community
President McGregor, of the Board
of Commissioners, is in line with the
Register almost to hair. He agrees
a little as to details. Mr.. McGregor
favors the sale Of the "Pewlky" stock,
which, in his opinion, would bring
over 100000, and probably $225,0O0,
and thinks 100000 of this money
should be applied in aid of the new
road, thus making the proposed bond
issue 100000. He would then
take the excess of the proceeds of the
"Pewiky'' stock ABOVE 100000 and
apply it to the reduction of balance
of debt on the new Jail. The two
ideas are very nearly in line.
If we are to aid the Railway Com
pany to the extent proposed, let US do
it in such manner as will make tie
burden easiest on the people. They
must foot all bills, and deserve every
advantage.

AN UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT.

The Ohio county Democracy Satur-
day unanimously endorsed the candi-
dacy of Mr. Joseph Handlan for the
Democratic nomination for State Aud
itor In this it did well. Mr.. Hand
Ian is a young man, of the old time
Democratic school, progressive, alert,
and energetic-a man representing the
people, and one fully alive to the sit
uation in State and national al
fairs. He deserves success, and should
have the earnest support of the De-
mocracy of the State at large he
Register asks for his candidacy the
support of the people of the State. He
represents the progressive and demo-
cratic majority of the people, and no
better candidate could be found. Ohio
county has cordially endorsed him.
Let the other counties fall into line and
make it unanimous.

SUNDAY BASE BALL.

Evidently the management Of the
professional base ball team of this
city believes that public sentiment is
with it in base ball on the Sabbath;
else why would it persist in repeating
the infraction of the law second
time. This belief arises, no doubt,
from the unprecedented attendance at
the game yesterday afternoon. The
receipts were large enough not only to
pay the fines assessed and to make
good the liberal donations promised to
charity but also to leave a neat sum for
the clubs exchequer. If public senti-
ment upholds professional base ball
playing on the Sabbath in the practi-
cal way it was done yesterday then
there is great likelihood it will remain
a going concern as long as the
weather permits, for the law officers ap-
pear to believe that their duty is fully
executed when the fines are assessed
and collected.
The Registers position in the prem
ises is unchanged, however, notwith-
standing the momentum given to the
game yesterday by the public.

THE CITY REFUNDING SCHEME.

The Registers remarks of Saturday
upon the threatened revival of the mu-
nicipal refunding scheme, evidently
struck home, for Saturday evening one
of the organs of the refunding crowd
made an explanation" Of the confess
sion of "a prominent member of Coun-
Gil" published in the same paper two
days before, that the city had been
estimating and running behind,
and that $4,000 of orders were out
standing.
The Register desires to compare the
confession with the explanation" and
to call the attention of voters to the
discrepancies.
The confession Of extravaganza was
in these words and figures:
'"The city for the past two years has 1
am sorry to say, overestimated its re-
neipts and in making up its annual appro-
priatiOn allowed for revenues that have
not been realized The result is there has
been a deficit each year and now we have
been compelled to issue about $4,000 in
outstanding orders. These orders as you
wen htlOW DSSl at lile rate OF SIX
per cent. per annum. They must be taken
lp at the earliest possible moment and it
shall be the duty of the Finance Commit
tee to arrange for cashing them"
The explanation" reads thus:
Quite breeze and no little misappre-
hension appears to have been stirred up
By the city's official statement through
the News that the city had to take care
Of about $4,000 worth of outstanding or
ders this season. The city receiver an
first of the year s23,47S in outstanding or
.aers, and while the orders since issued
may approximate $4,000, the latter batch
will be oRredf for by this years receipts,
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-05-07

and will take care of themselves Accord
ing to the city receiver the outstanding or
deEs incorporated in the annual report OF
January, 1900, only need to be considered.
In the strict sense of the word authorities
claim the outstanding order matter shows
no deficit, and in substantiation of this
fact point to the financial statements OF
the past three or four years. So far as
the aggregate amount of outstanding or
ders or drafts in transitu are concerned
they have ever been present with the city.
This administration finds consolation in
the fact that In previous years the amount
of outstanding orders has been very much
greater than 1t is now, was last year, or
/ the year before that.
Wherein lies the truth? Is the con-
fession to be accepted, or the 'sexplana-
tion?" When refunders make such
Numerically opposite statements who
is to be believed? And to what ex-
tent? That orders have been issued is
agreed upon by both and there is no es-
sential difference in the amount of
$4,000. One says, in effect, that the
total issue is the result of unbusiness-
like methods; the other that only $685.,
ATS is the result of that sort of con-
duet of public affairs. and that for the
rest the sum is less than last year or
the year before.
That is to say the affairs Of the city
have not been conducted upon proper
lines for two or three years, $4,000 in
orders are out, but the situation is not
as bad as it has been.
1t is about time somebody arose in
his place, with intent to tell the whole
truth, and inform this community not
only just how bad the situation has
been, and how bad it is now, but in
addition who is responsible. Has that
measure popularity known as the re-
straining ordinance being ignored or vi
olated? What departments have ex-
ceeded their appropriation. when, for
how much, and who is responsible?
Under Clerk Watkins there were about
$4,000 of city orders out. The sum has
apparently grown immensely. Is it the
result of extravaganza pure and simple
or what? Let the public know.
