A Cable With n HfsiOrv.

The cable Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company which runs under
Lake Champlain from Tconderoga to
Larrabees Point has something of a
history. 1t was made in Europe and
was first used in connecting opposite
shores of the Red sea. From there it
was brought to Hilton Head, where it
was used in connecting that place with
Tybee island, near Beaufort, S. c.. At
the close of the civil war it was taken
up and carried to New York city,
where 1t remained for several years in
the company storehouse before it was
placed where it now is.

THEIR COUNTY PLATFORM.

sn6sW OOOWlu VIHueOWW.
We call the attention of our
readers to the resolutions
adopted by the republican couu-
ty convention. The one concern
ing trusts deserves special atten-
ton. Knowing that their party
must rely on the trusts for cam
paign contributions the writer of
the resolutions starts in with
words Of praise for organized
capital. Then he condemns all
trusts having for their purpose
the sitting of competition: Then
he refers to the fact that all re-
strictive legislation so far has
been passed by republicans. The
differences to be drawn from
these points are these: AS the
restrictive legislation hitherto
passed has never been enforced
against q single trust, either the
legislation is worthless, which
doessnot speak highly Of the re-
publican party's ability to deal
with the trust question; or else

affairs as Kansas. And, 1t may be
said, that In no other state were the
conditions so depressing before pros

OF the DlngIey tariff bill. The features
of this improvement are found In q

crop OF 1899 of S577s.s72 bushels and

amounts to 1S4,523,677 bushels. its value
being $50. .S35: an amount less than

Prosperity of Railroads,

No other prosperity has benefited so
largely by the good times that have
prevailed the past three years than the
railroads. This Is shown In the prellmi-
nary report on the income account Of
the railways In the United States for
the year ending June 30, 1900. furnished
by the statistician Of the inter state
commerce commission. The statement
contains returns OF operating railway
companies representing 100. 4O6.O9 miles
of line. The gross earnings of the rail-
ways included in this report were ST.
4S0.GT3.O5i, or s7.776 per mile of line. or
these earnings 1896, S6O.7G0 were classed
as passenger earnings and s1.04S, 26S, SIS
as freight earnings. The gross earnings
shown In the final report for the preced-
Ing year were Sl.3l3.61o.llS. Operating
expenses for the fiscal year aggregated
s956.s14.142. or s5.025 per mile OF line.
The net earnings of the roads embraced
In this advance report were S523, SIS. 912
for 1900, or S73.1lo.747 more than they
were for 1899. Income from invest
ments and other sources amounting to
s6O.675.7Oo was received, SO that the total
income was t5S4,534,612.
The total deductions from income
were s495.S1l.O5 This item includes
interest on bonds, rents for leased lines
taxes (s44,396.1e5) and other charges to
Income. The amount OF dividends de-
clared was slos. iOo.1i7 which Is s2I,555.-
3SS greater than the amount declared
by corresponding roads for 1889. The
resulting surplus for the operation OF
the roads covered by this preliminary
report was s79.323.4o9, The surplus
shown in the final report for this pre-
ceding year was s53,O64,S77.

Business Conditions.

In commenting on the conditions that
have prevailed 10 the stock market the
past week Bradstreets notes the fact
that one Of the factors which contrib
ute powerfully to a continuance OF 4
bulllsh market is the comparatively
small amount OF new securities which
have recently been created or which are
pressing on the market at the present
time, Under ordinary circumstances
the termination of an upward move
mcnt In stock values Is checked either
Nv an adverse money market. with high
rates of interest, or by the appearance
ot A larger amount OF new corporate
securities than the public can absorb.
The latter was one OF the chief reasons
for the very sevcre check which the
market received In 1880. and 1t vas at
the tim. fully appreciated that the ere

WHEELING, DECEMBER 81, loVo.
The New Century.

AT midnight tonight the twentieth
century will be ushered In and before
IT lie more possibilities than this much
abused world has ever seen or dreamed
of. The nineteenth century in passing
into history has been one OF the most
remarkable periods since the beginning
Of time, and the achievements accom-
pllshed within the one hundred years
drawing to dose would require vol
5umes upon volumes to recount. AS ad-
vanced and marvellous as have been the
discoveries and inventions during this
time all the magic has not yet been
wrought, and we may expect to see
even the first year of the new century
reveal secrets that will out rival the
wonders man has already accomplish
ed. and the revelations Of the future
will exceed the mysteries of the con-
jurer and magician.
The dying century. nevertheless, has
left an impression on the world of an
sundying character. The greatest
changes Of political character will be
found in the events that followed
Waterloo and Sedan in the old world
and the great questions settled in the
new world by the battles Of Gettysburg
and Appommatox. The greatest
achievements of man have been the
Harvesting of electricity and its var
ious applications enter into almost
every economy OF this life. Also the
more rapid methods OF transportation
and the annihilation Of time and space.
Modes OF swift communication with all
the peoples Of the earth by the tele-
graph and telephone are majestic mon
uments to the fertility Of mans brain
and his ingenuity. We hear much Of
the ,.lost arts" but more wonderful
still are the new found secrets.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Love Is like n caterpillar. You would
think from the looks Of it that it never
would have the sense to fly.
The average woman hasn't much use
for a husband who won't let her pretend
that she made him lots Of trouble to get
her.
Probably the Malays got their idea
OF Juggernaut from the way q woman
will take her baby carriage to q street
parade.
One difference between man and a
woman Is chat 4 woman can cry happily
Z but when q man cries he is always mis-
cradle or mad.
The first month after boy Is born 1t
looks as If 1t had apopleXy. The sec
ond month 1t looks seasick. After that
Il looks as If 1t had everything else.--

Intends soon to begin the publication of
a weekly Journal, and the announce
ment Of his purpose has been freely: ad-
vertised without charge to him over all
the United States. As n result, over
1000 subscriptions were sent him the
day after the announcement was made,
and he got $500 more within the next
two days, and the latest report is that
they are coming in at the rate OF a
thousand q day. 1t is said that several
Democratic state organizations are to
use their machinery TO secure subscrip-
lions for Bryan's paper.
Here is mint of money for the
claimant. A weekly paper can be so,
out in Lincoln, Neb., very cheaply. Mr..
Bryan is voluble enough TO write q suf-
icient quantity OF matter to fill up the
entire paper every week without EN-
ploying any editorial assistant. He pro-
poses to continue his Sl.OO0-an- hour lee

Nobody can blame Mr.. Bryan. He
knows what he is about, and as he has
