An accident to her three .year.old

THE NEW

The European press is about unani-
nous in contemptuously haunting US
with having deliberately abandoned our
century and a quarter old contention
that all men were created free and
equal and endowed with rights, and
the American press is discretely silent
because ND adequate reply can be made
1t might be good plan, under the ex-
listing state of facts, to call national
convention and revise the Declaration
of independence. Ut appears to be
somewhat out of date, and smells a lit
tie musty. Certainly it is a far cry
from Americans battling for liberty at
Concord Bridge and Lexington to those
same people holding as subjects. by
force of arms and threats, the people Of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.
The spectacle is enough to make the
remains of Washington, and Gates, and
General Lincoln and Sumpter, ana
Marion, and DeKalb, and Baron Steu-
ben, and Commodore Perry and the rest
of the old heroes who believed in the
inalienable rights of man revolve IN
their collins.

PENNSYLVANIA MAY TAKE 1T.

The PMtsburg Post is authority for
the statement that the Ohio River Rail
road is in a position where it must
sooner or later be absorbed by the
Pennsylvania Company, and points out
that the river route forms a short line
between Pittsburg and Wheeling to Gin
cinnati, and that with the road under
Pennsylvania control and a connection
with the Baltimore and Ohio South
western at Parkersburg a still greater
saving in time and distance would be
effected
That this road is destined to become
an important one has long been mani
fest, and the measures taken within the
last few years to improve it's service
has greatly popularized it, It's advan-
tages are many. 1t has no grades, mo
tunnels, is in perfect condition, and,
winding, as it does, along the bank Of
one of the most picturesque and beauti-
full rivers in America, it still has long
stretches of absolutely straight track,
perhaps only equalled by some of the
Western prairie roads There is one
stretch below Parkersburg, we believe,
that has but one slight and scarcely
noticeable curve lin eleven miles. 1t is
a road pre-eminently adapted for COM
fort convenience and that the pIIb-
lie appreciates this is shown by the con-
stantly increased travel upon it.
Through trains now run over it, to and
from Pittsburg via. the ''Pewiky," and
under Pennsylvania management, If
that must come, it will be possibly the
most important line reaching the
Wheeling district. Ex-senator ]. N.
Camden budlded better than Ike knew
when he put his money and energy into
this railroad enterprise.

TIME TO CALL A HALT.

Is it to be inferred from the latest
lynching spree out in California, where
five men were killed because they were
simply suspected of stealing, that the
mob is to extend its sway even to per-
sons under suspicion. and that mere
accusation will be deemed justification
for an appeal to that court" having
neither authority. records or common
sense? 1t is fully time the reckless ele-
ment of the American public paused in
this murderous business and highly re-
solved to let the law take its course in
all cases. Punishment of those guilty
of crime may be safely left to the
twelve good men and true provided for
by statute. The mob. even when made
up Of ''the best citizens isn't good
form, and is thing to be discouraged
In every possible way.

is IT A FAIR TEST..

Volunteer officers of the army desig-
mated by Senators and Congressman as
especially fitted for commissio Is II the
enlarged regular army are making loud
complaints that the examinations they
are called upon to pass before boards
of regular West Point graduates hold
ing Office in the service are purposely
and deliberately made so difficult and
exacting that even the average college
professor would have trouble in pass
ing the test, and in confederation of
this it is pointed out that of twenty
two officers recently returned from
campaigning in the Philippines and up
for examination at San Francisco, only
two passed, although they were all good
soldiers, with fine records in actual
warfare. This has renewed the not in
frequently heard assertion that the reg
ular officers of both the army and
navy look with marked disfavor upon

every means to prevent their receiving
the promotions to which they are en-
titled by meritorious service or other
sufficient cause, but after appointment,
if it be secured, they are virtually os-
TRACKED by the West Point and Anapo-
lis graduates. And this in face of the
fact that many of the best men in the
service and the men who have shown
both the greatest bravery and the wild
est discretion and ability, never saw
either academy. They had intelligence
and courage, but were not of the cult
1t is high time that Congress took

DESERVES TO FAIL.

The indications are that the PROPOSE
ton to. increase the county levy five
cents on the one hundred dollars will
fail to command the support of ma
sority of the Board of Commissioners
and taxpayers generally are greatly re-
joiced. The excuse for the increase
was the abolition OF tolls or the county
roads, and yet the proposition car
ried with it considerable addition
to the net receipts from tolls, to come
from people who never see or use any
enc of the roads in the county. The
burden wei! have fallen il the plo-
portion of about five-sixths upon the
people of Wheeling who already con-
tribute about as much as could be rea-
sonably expected to maintain tue
roads of the county at large, and
through whose contributions in the
past the roads have been gradually i'm
proved until now they are several hun
dred per cent better than few years
let well enough alone. The people OF
the city have been and are entirely will
ing to continue to be liberal in the
matter of taxation and appropriations
for country uses, but there is limit
to everything and the matter under
discussion is no exception. The roads
can be maintained in very fair shape
at the present rate of taxation, while
the relief to the farmer or SUBURBAN
resident from toll is decided benefit
to him while none at all to the vast
majority of the inhabitants of the city.
This being true, the people of the coun-
try districts ought to be willing to ac-
cept the good thing that has come to
them and insist upon a careful distri-
button of taxes raised at the present
rate. BY following that course they
will be killing two birds with one
stone.
