THEIR EXPENSE ACCOUNTS.
Something of a Difference Between
the OUTLAWS of n Bishop and
Drummer.

At the Methodist general conference re-
Gently held in Chicago certain members,
both lay and clerical, freely criticised the
large expense accounts of some of the bish-
ops, relates the Chicago Chronicle. They
were charged with extravaganza, and told
that they had no right to live like princes
while serving the Lord. Bishop McCabe has
felt personally aggrieved by these criticisms,
and has published reply. He declares that
his own annual travelling expenses average
less than $3.50. The bishops bill certainly
looks modest. He states that a commercial
traveller to whom he showed his account
Laughed long and loud" and said: "The
house for which l work allows me eight
dollars day for travelling expenses" This
comparison unquestionaby is most favora-
bic to the bishop. One is reminded, how
ever, that there are certain necessary items
of heavy expenditure to the account of a
successful drummer which are escaped by an
itinerant bishop. If Bishop McCabe were
obliged to treat his constituents as literally
and as frequently as the average CONNER
cial traveller he might find an allowance of
eight dollars per day none too ample.

The Fall of Babylon.

teacher, which of you can tell me why

There was long silence. The little ones

drew long breaths, but none of them said
anything.

little boy or girl in this class who can tell
why Babylon fell? Isn't there any one of
you who can think of any reason why Baby

FEARFUL FATA11rY.
Little Edna Michaels, of Little Buff

Little Edna Michaels, Of Little Buff
falO, Burned to Death.
Special Dispatch to the lntelllEeneer.
sIsrERsvILLE, w. Va. Feb. g.
News of deplornble fatality was
brought to this city to-day. Edna, the
three-year.old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William MiChaels. who reside on
a branch of the Little Buffalo, three
miles from Sistersville, was the victim.
While the little one was playing about
the fireplace her clothing ignlted. The
mother was temporarily absent from
the house at the time, and the pierre
ing shrielIs Of the child failed to reach
her ears. Driven frantic by pain and
fear the child rushed from the house
into the yard screaming for its moth
err, and there fell overcome by the
flames. When Mrs. Michaels respond
ed the little one was mass Of fire
from head to foot, and when the moth
er eventually succeeded in quenching
the flames the little ones flesh was
burned almost to crispy blackness.
Messengers were FASTENED after Or.

found the child's condition to be be-
You'd medical aid. The little one lived
d few hours. during which time she
suffered terrible agonies, despite the
efforts to alleviate her misery. The
father and mother are grief stricken
over their loss.

The citv Debt Statement.

Tho debt statement Of the city Of
wheeling, published In detail in yester-
day mornings Intelllgencer does not
give to the casual reader as explicit an
idea of what has been accomplished by
the present Republican council as
critical examination Of the several
items viii disclose. The total revenues
Of the city were s419.461 Os, from which
must be deducted from the several
items under the head Of Board of Pub
lie Works, $2l, $50 SO, which sum is set
aslde by act Of the legislature, as con-
4ingent fund for this board only, to be
used for cleaning Of streets, repair Of
sewers, ETC., and $10S,465 "a, which rep
resents the income Of the water board,
every dollar Of which is necessarily APP
propriated to the said board for the
payment Of running expenses, better
Enent Of works, new mains, etc, and the
payment Of SIS, 900 Of the debt owed blythe
board for the construction Of the new
works, and SsS,s6O "a, which represents
the ineom1 from tho gas works, which
amount Is appropriated to the gas trus-
tees for the payment of labor at the
works, the laying of new mains. better
ment Of works, and the operating Of
the electric light plant Besides. these
gums there was appropriated $3.50 90
out Of the general revenue OF the city
% the gas board to pay a deficiency.
This leaves Sls1,O65 50, from which
must be deducted about $4,000 for the
fen-cent levy, which can be used only
FOR street improvement, leaving a ball
ance Of about $4,000 for the operating
Of the are department, police depart
ment, payment Of bonds and interest on
the same, salaries and all other ex-
penBes.
From this small sum, after paying
The above charges, to make a de-
crease in the bonded indebtedness of
over $4,000 is certainly a magnificent
showing.

The Man Behind aOebel.

The man behind Goebel, like the UNI
fortunate contestant for the governor
ship, also had an ambition. It was
none othes than Senator Joseph c.
Blackburn. This doughty Kentuckian
went into the fight last year for the
purpose OF having himself returned to
the United States senate. and to con-
summate his scheme he Joined the Coo
bel forces, an act that at first astound-
ed decent Kentuckians, but there were
so many other surprises in the cam
paign that followed that Blackburn's
qualification was lost sight Of, There
has been 80 much said about the boast
ed honor 9t the RentuckIan that sena-
tor Blackburn's peculiar conduct re-
quires little ventilation on that point.
It is said that the lachrymal senator
wept when he heard Of the shooting Of
Goebel. On another and more tragic
occasion he not only opened the foun-
tain Of his tears but made VOW that
sounds rather peculiar in the light Of
recent events in Kentucky. On April
II, 1895, Colonel Sanford, q Democrat,
and secretary OF the Traders Bank Of
Covlngton, KY, was shot and killed by
William Goebel. Sanford was a per-
sonal friend OF Senator Blackburn, and
leaning over the coffin Of his murdered
friend. with tears streaming down his
cheeks, he prayed God to grant him
life long enough to avenge Sanford by
buryIng Gnebel in "the depths Of public
execratlon" How he has fulfilled that
VOW made in a frenzy Of passion
against the man who slew one whom
he declared was more than a brother
to him." IS well known. Since the COM
mencement OF the campaign last year
in Kentucky he has been cheek by jowl
with Goebel. The legislature being
overwhelmingly Democratic Blackburn,
of course, got the prize he was after,
at the expense OF stultlfying himself by
forgetting the murder Of his friend
and espousIng the murderer,
Goebel was not SO fortunate. And af-
ter being Giscredlted by his own cleo
ton commissioners It was no other per-
son but Senator Blackburn who urged
him to carry his Infamous cause into n
partisan body that was only too willing
to reverse the verdict of the people.
We do not know when Senator Black
burn will have occasion to again turn
on the ever abundant fountain OF his
tears, but we do know that true Ken
tucltIans have reason to weep for him.

The tempting bait held out the Hon.
Bourke Cochran does not seem to have
attracted Colonel Bryan to any extent.
We did not for moment suppose that
It would. Bryan has made 1t pretty we'll

ocratic party these days, and that any
suggestions or concessions must come
from him. In his speech at Providence.

am opposed to dropping the silver
issue Us long us a handful Of English
bankers dominate the financial policy

But a few hours before expressing
these views he had declared at Paw
tucket that he had no doubt that the
time would come when the principles
Of the Chicago platform win be a part
Of the law Of the United States" May
the gods forefend US!
But this is not ALL To a Newspaper
man who asked him for statement Of
his views upon Mr.. w. Bourke Cock
rams overtures for coalition on the
basis Of anti-imperialism to the front
and free silver to the rear, he replied:
II am as staunch a supporter to the 16
to doctrine as ever. viii not con-
sent to anything in the shape Of truce.
and Mr. Cochran knows that better
than 1 do"
Remarking upon this Situation of af-
fairs, the New York Times says:
.'There is no room for decisions about
w. j. Bryan. No man can honestly
mIsunderstand his position. He stands
for everything that he stood for in 1895,
for the flfty-cent dollar, for the broken
faith and dishonor of the Nation, for
the freedom of riot, for the packing Of
the supreme court, and for govern
ment administered upon the principles
of Altgeld, Tillman, Debs-and Bryan.
Any gold Democrat and anti-McKtn-
ley Republican who is willing to put
up with these things for the sake Of an
opportunity to express his dissent from
the Administrations view Of Its duty in
the Philippines chooses knowingly and
deliberately the path Of danger. He
shows bad judgment If he is honest
about it. bad faith If he is not. Either
way he goes to his destruction"

A Suggestion.

The amiable but cratic Register is
right. and 1t is wrong 1t applies some
feeble reflections the Intelligencer made
on the outlandlsh disturbance Balti-
more's Democratic reform mayor made,
to conditions in Wheeling. In that 1t
is wrong. It processes to believe that
this paper had no reference to the Sit
uatlon In this city. In that 1t is right.
Baltlmore's REFORM MAYOR has
attempted yome reforms, the Demo-
CRITIC mayor OF this city HAS NOT At
TEMPTED ANY. That is the startling
difference. If the Republican predeccs-
sor of the present DEMOCRATIC RE-
FORM mayor kicked the slot machines
out into the street, can we inquire why
his distinguished successor cannot do
the same thing?

Democratic aubernatorial Timber.


The Fairmont Index, looking towards
the 9Th day of June, when the Demo-
cratic state convention meets In Par
kersburg, furnishes quite distinguish
ed list Of candidates for the guberna-
torial nomination. and with innate
modesty neglects to mention one Of its
distinguished editors, ex-speaKer Owen
s. Mckinney, one of the most accom-
plished and faIr-minded Democrats In
the state. The Index In It's roster of
available candidates starts of with
Virgil A. Lewis, Of Mason county, who,
It says. is the most outspoken in his
candidacy. Next in favor comes Dam
iel B. Lucas, Of Jefferson, who gave to
literature that sweet political song OF
"rhe Maid OF Northumberland" md
who, also. by the way. has raised more
Eumpuses in the Democratic party than
my ten dIsSentients. Judge Boyd
Faulkner comes next, and he Is the
man who is likely to capture the plum,
Is he IS backed by the Chiffon boys.
Ihe Index thinks that he deserves
something Of the party for being de-
Eeated for the nomination by Windy
Wilson in that stormy and electrical
convention that was held in machinery

city, in 1884. Then there is smiling
