OF INTEREST TO WEST VIRGINIA.

OF INTEREST TO WEST VIRGINIA.
The trust manipulators are now tell
ing New York what an advantage it
would be to that commonwealth to en-
courage the establishment there of all
the trusts driven out of Illinois, Ohio
and other States by the enforcement
of reasonable legislative requirements.
This is what New Jersey-the mecca
of trusts-has done, and the present
administration in West Virginia, as far
as possible has openly advertised the
freedom of the State to trusts under
the present regime.
A correspondent of the New York
World. writing on behalf of the peo-
pie Of New York against this PROPOSE
ton presents arguments which apply
with equal force to the situation else
where, especially in West Virginia:
Unfortunately they do not tell US how
or why we are to gain by "encoura ging''
this form Of lawbreaking. and they still
leave us free to declare that we would
rather not have them.
New York is not so poor as to need
the reinforcement OF its treasury by the
meagre fees of law-defying monopoiies.
II we want any money of that kind we
can get it by licensedng race tracks, pool
rooms and other forms of gambling, where
the misguided patron has at least a chance
of getting his money back. But even New
Jersey refused to tolerate Gutenberg and
Linden and Gloucester.
1.-THE only welcome New York should
extend to these 'sure-thing gambling de-
vices is TO welcome them with bloody
hands to hospitable graves. -

One of the refunding scheme or

prominent way and as a sort of rOor-
bach a card signed by Messrs. can
p. MAXWELL, Anton Korn and A. e.
Marschner, Committee" which fool
ishly attacks the Register for refer
ring to the fact that this ordinance
provides that a special tax be levied
ON the people of this city for the
entire amount of the bonds, princi-
Pal and interest. The "committee"
above named plead that this is in
accord with the act of the Legfsla-
but a simple formality not to be
considered by the people.
Now, note in the accompanying
few lines of their "disinterested"
card how these gentlemen convict
themselves out of their own mouths.
They follow up the statement above
with:
THE FIFTY CENT LEVY WHICH IS
MADE ANNUALLY BY COUNCIL HAS
voR YEARS REDEEMED BONDS FALL
ING DUE AND SUPPLIED FUNDS FOR
GENERAL EXPENSES OF THE CITY
GOVERNMENT. IT IS NOT INTENDED
NOW TO INCREASE THE LEVY ONE
PENNY. BUT IF THE LOAN is NOT
CARRIED, THEN THE LEVY MUST
NECESSARILY BE INCREASED"
this provision is a mere formaIity,
and that ait is not intended now to
increase the levy one penny" and
I'm the preceding breath-almOst in
the same sentence-they admit that
"the fifty cent levy which is made
annually by Council HAS FOR
YEARS REDEEMED BONDS FALLING
DUE"
OF what sort of STUFF do the gen.
this card think the brains of the
people of this city are made, that
they insult their intelligence by
such unmitigated trash as this.
which contradicts itself on it's very
facet What do they mean by stat
ing that Council surely would not
take advantage of the special tax
provision in the ordinance when in
the next breath they admit that
Council "hns for years redeemed
bonds" by taking advantage of this
identical prOvfsiop!

srEERED AGAINST TIE WIND.
Count Zeppclen's Airship Successfu
ON the Second Trial.


FRIEDRICHsHAFEN, Oct. 17.-Count
Won zeppelen gave his airship another
trial this afternoon and achieved a notable
success. After rising the airship remained
poised at height of GOO metres for three
quarters of an hour. 1t then made
series of lacks and performed sundry
turning maIeuvres, after which 1t was
steered against the wind. 1t finally
headed toward Immenstadt. where the
inventor landed after a trip that lasted
about an hour. The King and Queen OF
Wurterberg witnessed the trial from the
deck of steamer. II the weather is
favorable another experiment will be
made tomorrow.
The airship carried four persons be-
sides Count Zeppelen. When it rose the
wind was from the northeast, blowing
with velocity of three and a half yards
per second. When the airship had attain
ed a height of 400 yards it described
circle and then drove with the wind in
a generally circular direction for about
six miles.
1t then described a circle. after which
it made Roadway against the wind. which
was then blowing with increased velocity.
Eventually the airship descended with
great ease and steadiness into the lake
and was towed to shed. The experiment
was most successful. Its stability. cqui-

In Fruit Industries America Leads.

II is an established fact that the United States

fruit industries, such the growing OF oranges

eat more fruit than any other. and grow
sider.Jly more than eat Eighty millions OF

A hundred millions would scarcely cover the value
Of all grapes marketed. Peaches we raise in as
tonishing quantities, in orchards containing rs
many as 100000 trees. blA banner crop, - lar
as fruit is concerned is apples. We have pro-
duced many 2lO.OO0D0 barrels in Il single
season, and have sold as high as 3,OOD9JD barrels
to England alone. Ships weigh anchor in New
York, three at time. in single week, bearing
apples To Europe. Indeed it is one Of the great
