WHY THIS JuBILAYIoN.

One of the prominent m ~teries of
the current news is the why and where
fore of the tremendous ovation 10 Lord
Roberts in London and the cuHterring
upon that soldier of an earldon by her
majesty. What has Lord Roberts
done that the metropolis Should thus
give him the glad hand" and heap
further honors upon his head? A
microscopical inspection of his
achievements in South Africa fails to
furnish an answer, unless, forsooth,
London is inclined to be sarcastic and
congratulate "Bobs" on his escape from
a sad predlcament in which he leaves
the Sirdar of Egypt, etc, Lord Kitch-
ener, to hold the bag"
What there is in the South African
situation for London to jubilate over
pasSeth knowledge. The Beers are
steadily gaining accessions and almost
the Whole of Cape Colony is evidently
Kept from revolt only from lack of
arms-a deficiency which the Boer
leaders are doing their best to supply
and with excellent prospect of success
since they control three of the four
lines Of communication to the north
and threaten the fourth. while at two
points they are within 100 miles of the
ocean.
1t looks very much as if the British
home governmeN was deliberately
feeding the war-liN spirit of the peo-
pie with a view to Further demands
upon it in the near Future. 1t is a
fact that the British are\up against as
serious a proposition al ever after
more than a year Of the hardest and
bloodiest fighting by the greRtest army
that England has ever had inNthe field.

THERE WE'RE TWO CAN

SUPPOSE THERE WE'RE TWO CAN
AIS:
1t is strange that so little account
should be taken in this country of the
possibility of the completion of the
Panama canal in the event of the build
ing of the Nicaragua canal and It's
complete and exclusive ownership and
fertilization by the United States. AT
Washington there seems to be no con-
Germ whether Europe builds a com
peting canal or not, Senator Spooner
alone having thought the subject OF
sufficient Importance to discuss.
But the shareholders of the Panama
venture are not so Indifferent on the
subject. One week ago ESQ of these
Panama stockholders met and listened
directors, which declared if an equit-
able entente regarding the unification
Ct interests could not be arrived at
with the United States that the direc-
tors would have to seek and submit
to shareholders means for actively
proceeding with the work on the Pan
ANA canal.
While many of the shareholders
shrank from this proposed division OF
the isthmian traffic, which for some
time to come will afford no mere than
a fair profit for one canal, it was
thought that the fortification of the
Nicaragua canal by the United States
would impeI the nations Of Europe to
lend a hel1Irg hand towa"l the COM
pletion of tic Panama route ano after
ward discriminate in favor of that
waterway and against the Nicaragua
canal.
There has aoen a good deal Of this
sort of talk lately about a European
combination as-inst the Uni ed States,
and there may be more in the hope of
the Panama Shareholders than our
Senators imagine 1t is a phase Of the
subject worth Consideration. although
the stand of the United States in re-
gard to the Nicara sa1 canal cannot be
changed.

MISUNDERSTANDING
DEMOCRACY,
From the Chicago Chronicll.

From the Chicago Chronicl-.
To the Editor of the Chicago Chronicle.
PBKIN, H., January Ill think
your criticism of the Democratic party
of to-day would apply to the Demo-
cratic party of the past. 1t always has
been a class party. 1t always has 0een
opposed to good morals. 1t always has
been a poor man party as against
some other party which it claimed was
a Iich man party. 1t has been re-
bellious against law. 1t has been un-
progressive. 1t has been true TO itself
of late, only it has been d little more
Outspoken and aggressive han usual.
REPUBLICAN.
From the beginning the Democratic
party has been misunderstood by
many people, some Of whom were in
capable OF comprehending is princi-
pies and many of whom mad personal
and political reasons for peryerting
and denying them. 1t is true also that
it has had leaders who either did not
understand the ideas on which the or
ganization was based or did not care
whether they were preserved or not.
Because Democracy in the Early days
favored manhood suffrage and OPP
posed government by the wise. the
rich and the good it va, held by
some Of its enemies that ii was an
tagonistic to the wise, the rich and
the good.
Because Democracy resisted TO the
utmost every establishment Of religion
and every law or custom preventing
the free exercise of religion, il was de-
clared in hundreds of pulpits that i
was irreligious and pagan and that it,
ascendency would lead inevitably t
the destruction of all pietv and al
morals.
Because Democracy denied the RICH
OF any man or of any set of men t
regulate the cut and the coIOr of tn,
peoples clothing, the persons interest
ed in the maintenance OF such law
set up the claim that it was inimica
to clean shirts, and must therefore b
unclean and unwholesome.
Because the Democracy onnosed in
terference with the personal libertie
OF the people in all harmless custom
it was set forth by fanatics and big
OTIS that Democracy must necessaril,
ne in league with the vicious and tn,

Because Democracy denied the eff

THE b. & o. NEWSPAPER TRAINS.

II. u W. ~
An important change Of schedule
asked of the B. & 0. by the railroad
committee of the Board OF Trade has
TO do with the trains carrying Wheel
ing into interior towns.
In the language of the committee,
under the present circumstances
it is impossible to build UP a subscrip-
ton list for Wheeling papers, and the
interest of the city suffer in conse-
uuence. Another change which would
contribute very greatly TO the up
building of our interests, is train
leaving at 5 or $50 a. m. for Grafton,
with connections for Morgantown and
Clarksburg, on which the Wheeling
morning papers could reach subscrib-
ers in those cities and points be-
tween, at an early hour"
This is a matter of peculiar import
ance not only to newspaper readers in
the interior naturally DESTROYS Of TAX
ing the leading newspapers of the
State, but to the advertising mer-
| chants of Wheeling, who should be in
! close touch with the people Of this
territory which is naturally tributary
to Wheeling.

has presented the case dispassionately,
clearly and with admirable force. The
management of the B. & O. must GER
tainly recognize the imperative neceS-
stiles of the situation and that they
can be put OF no longer. The fact
that the General Manager has made
personal investigation OF the matter
and has given his definite promise
OF needed changes would seem to sho"
that the company has finally awakened
to the Importance of Wheeling's OFT
repeated demands and to a realization
that the interests of the B. & y. as
well as those Of this city demand
prompt compliance.
The impression created by General
Manager Underwood was decidedly IA
vorable and it is evident that the city
has a friend in that important OIL
cial, who will do his best to secure
what she asks. To him for devotlng

DR.. w. A. QUAYLE RESIGNS
THIS TINE Ii MERIDIAN-STREET
BOARD ACQUIEsCEs.
The Popular Pastor Says the Health Of
His Family Demands a. Change
May Go TO Kansas City.

DR.. William a. Quayle, pastor of the
Meridian-stree NJ. Z. Church, has again
rendered his resignation to the church.
This time it has been accepted and the
congregation will begin looking about for
a new pastor. DR.. Quayle's letter of resig-
nation was read at a meeting of the Of
fetal board held at noon yesterday in the
office Of Volney T. Malott at the Indiana
National Bank. The letter was addressed
TO the official board of the Meridian-street
Nj. E. Church and read as follows:
Dear B~rethren-Some months ago. as
you Will recall, L resigned as pastor OF this
church., adducing among other reasons the
i'll health of my family. L finally, hoping
the family having become acclimated,
might improve, was glad and more than
glad to remain your pastor.
After having passed through what is
the third winter in this city and having
given the climate full trial l am COM
PEELED to say we greatly fear for the re-
suits in case we do not go. Our little
daughters health had been and is such as
to justly and greatly alarm us. One of the
family we have sent away for the winter;
but the little girl we could not send away
because she was so young. In justice 10
feel that We ought to go where her health
will. in reason. be better. We feel as you
would feel under the same circumstances.
And while going from you is a grief, We
AOtAA AC3t 90 MS oO "a IAN
those whom God has given us the special
care of. Therefore with nothing but love
for this entire church from which from the
first day till now we have received only
kindness and courtesy and love, L must
with profound regret ask you TO accept my
resignation as your pastor 10 take effect on
the first day of October or earlier at your
pleasure.
This step has been given thought and
prayer and only existing conditions would
induce us TO this, 10 us-sad resolution.
Cordially, WILLIAM A QUAYLE."
The meeting of the board was called for
the purpose of taking action on DIR.
Quayle's resignation. The resignation was
regret on the part of the board. The COM
mittee on pastoral relations, of which
Charles w. Smith is chairman. was in
structed TO begin looking about for a sue
cessor to DR.. Quayle.
There is a popular feeling that DR.. Quayle
may return to Kansas City and take the
pastorate of the Grand-avenue M. L.
Church., of that city. This congregation
sought to secure the services of DR.. Quayle
when he offered his resignation here some
months ago. 1t is understood that the pull
pit of the Grand-avenue Church is still
vacant. At the time DR.. Quayle left the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Church of Kansas
City to come here, a memorial was pre-
the pastor of his church again should he
ever return to Kansas City to live. DIR.
Quayle was at Rushville last night de-
livering a lecture and was expected to re-
turn this morning. A member of the Of
fetal board said the board had no one in
mind at this time as a possible successor to
DR.. Quayle.
