Kentucky War Settled.

Louisville, Feb. 6-Shortly after mid
night the republican and democratic
cOnferees in session at the Gait house
came to an agreement. A stenOgrapher
was summoned and a document is now
being drawn up for the signatures of the
participants in the conference. 1t is said
the agreement is decidedly favorable to
the democrats. Governor Taylor is to
withdraw the troops from the state
buildings at Frankfort and send them
home. The order convening the legisla-
ture at London is to be revoked and the
regular session of the general assembly
is to be resumed at the state capitol
without mOlestation. 1t is believed that
the understanding arrived at tonight
will result in an amicable settlement ol
the dispute between the two parties in
this state and do away with the dua
government. This agreement, ii carried
out will make Breckham governor.

England's Colonies.

The example OF Great Britain, which
the commission says has been brilliantly
successful in governing dependent people,
has suggested a colonial form of govern
ment and this plan seems to have won
greater favor with the general public
than any other.
Therefore, the commission with some
care goes into the different kind of Brit
ish colonies and corresponding types OF
colonial governments.
"Ther9 is no analogy" says the CON-
mission, between the relations OF the
self-governing colony of Australia or OF
Canada to Great Britain and that of the

Not many people realize, and some
who realize do not appreciate, the I'M
portance OF the city OF wheeling as a
contributor to the Federal revenue.
For instance, few know that two-thirds
or more Of the internal revenue collect
ed for the entire state OF West Virginia
comes from this city-yet It il fact.
For the year just ended the collections
exceeded all past records, amounting to
fupy $1,000. 900, or an average Of 1888
psr day OF the 800 on which business Is
transacted by the Federal revenue men.
This vast sum il made up almost en-
tirely Of stamp sales. a comparatively
small amount coming from lquor II
ceuses. The stamps are used on the
output of beer from the local brewer
les, stogies from the score or more Of
factories, +MaH Pouch" from the
Bloch Brothers Tobacco Company, and
on documents which the war revenue
act requires to be stamped. OF this
million dollars, the local revenue ONCE
is directly credited with about 100000,
the other 100000 or more going direct
to the main once In Parkersburg.
The following table showg the eollee-
lions of internal revenue on stamp
sales, made at the local ONCE during
