THE OLD OFT-DIsCREDITED RE
FUNDING SCHEME AGAIN.

S1hEhE AOSiN.
We observe that the remnants of the
old city ring with some new accessions
are engaged more or less actively in
pushing to the front the old scheme to
refund some $4,000 of the city debt
in other words to postpone all pay
ment on the /ty's liabilities, that can
be postponed, for from ten to thirty
years.
There is no need to rehearse the
numerous arguments against this
scheme. indefensible from any point
of view, which twice has been voted
down by the people after exhaustive
discussion.
The Register does not charge that
all the advocates of this scheme are
mercenary.
Some of them, we believe, honestly
think it a good financial measure,
and these advocates of the refunding
proposition have the Registers re-
spect We have faith in their good in
tentions, if not in their judgment.
These, however, are in the extreme
minority of those who are espousing
this iniquity.
In this connection the Register re-
grets to note that few-happily a
few-Democrats are with the refund
ing advocates. When these gentlemen
were elected their constituents expect
ed better things of them and they have
not enhanced their standing in the
community by mixing up with this
scheme of the old city ring-not to
mention other and later gratis" which
have materialized or are in process Of
naturalization.
These Democrats will doubtless see
the error of their way before long.
Suffice it to say. now. that the old
refunding scheme, or any other sim
liar measure that proposes to re-
fund-a penny more of the debt than is
due has absolutely no chance of ratifi-
cation and any election held for that
purpose will be waste of the peoples
money.
The voters are willing to ratify
loan thn6Will include the $4,000 COM
promise roam, now willingly carried by
the creditors, and any reasonable sum
necessary for much needed improve
ments in the way of street paving, new
market houses and other sadly needed
improvements, but they will not agree
to the postponement for a generation
of the payment of half a million dol
lars of the city debt, which can be paid
off-leaving the city free of debt-in
about half the time and with half the
money.
The old refunding scheme died years
ago. 1t is folly on the part of Council
to try to resurrect it-folly that
gerges on political suicide.

THE PLAGUE SPREADS.
Reports From All Parts of the World
Show the Dread Disease is In
creasing.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October q
Reports to the marine hospital service
from all parts of the world show a
continued spread of the plague in most
sections. In British East India during
the week ended August 2 last, there
were 1922 new plague cases and 1880
deaths recorded in the Bombay presi-
dency, an increase of more than 200
deaths over the previous week. There
were 1876 plague deaths in the city of
Bombay that week and many others
suspected. In Egypt to the total num-
Der of bubonic plague cases from April
Z to September was 1872, with 60
deaths. In Queensland the destruction
of rats continues, but the official re-
port shows 80 plague cases, including
10 deaths from February % to July 6.
In China. at the port and town of
Swatau and neighboring districts, tho
plague is steadily decreasing.

GOOD WORK FOR GREATER
WHEELING.


The Board of Trade has done some
trojan work for Greater Wheeling
within the past year-indeed, within
the past few months. Rome wasn't
built in day and Greater Wheeling
can't be established in a few months,
but we are getting there with both
feet in rapid strides and gaining in
geometrical progression as we go.
We can hardly expect to secure every
good thing we go after, but the Board
of Trade now has three good things in
view and almost certainty of secur-
ing at least two of them.
The other will probably be secured
by Bellaire. And in this we wont be-
grudge Bellaire, which as a location
for manufactures is almost as good as
Wheeling, and the Register congratu-
lates its large constituency in our over
the-river neighbor on it's acquisition.
Bellaire is in the Wheeling district"
and what benefits it directly benefits
Wheeling. Although in another State,
Bellalre is practically part of Greater
Wheeling along with Bridgeport
Aetnaville and Martins Ferry, of all
Of which Wheeling is the metropolis.
Their interests are identical with
Wheeling's and their welfare is ours.
We are practically and commercially
one city-and that city is Greater
Wheeling.

DRAWING THE RECORD.

The Register has been asked several
times since Republican yellow organs
have attempted to turn the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley to partisan
political account, why the Register did
not quote in "blg" type the numerous
utterances of the Fourteenth street Or
gan against the President of the United
States during Mr.. Cleveland's terms of
office.
The Register believes it has drawn
the record pretty thoroughly. That is
not necessary, however, since it is
within the memory Of every man of
voting age.
However, We gladly give space TO
correspondents in another column who
have been looking up the Fourteenth
Street Fellows record for themselves.
One, an old soldier, shows that the
Intelligencer, in applauding an act Of
disrespect to the President of the
United States during the G. A. K. re-
union in Wheeling in 1887, referred tc
the Chief Magistrate, the commander
in chief of the army and navy of tht
United States, as the personal enemy
of Union soldiers.
Another correspondent shows tina
the Fourteenth Street Yellow went fur
Their and insulted the Presidents wife
But enough of yellow journalism
Ire subject is sickening.

Mr.. Croker seems to have such a
hard time selecting a Tammany candi-
date for Mayor of New York that he
may have TO take the job himself.
This would be great sacrifice on Mr..
Croker's part, as it would involve his
residence for a whole year or more
in the United States. This would be
hard on the United States, too.

How the Organ InsuIted Mrs. CIeve-
land.


To the Editor of the Register.
Sir:-Why don't you quote the In
telligencer's yellow record? 1t not
only grossly slandered Mr.. Cleveland
while he was President, but insulted
Mrs. Cleveland, his lovely wife. A
friend has just shown me in scrap
book this among other items-it is
from the Intelligencer of September 10,
1887:
"Mrs. Cleveland continues to run
well. If Grover were wise man
he would decline in her favor. THE
gray mare is the better hOrse.''
Did you ever see anything in worse
taste in a public journal concerning
the wife of President of the United
States-anything more insulting?
