ON OHIO RIVER
GREAT TIME YESTERDAY OVER
COMPLETION OF GOVERNMENT
DAM AT M'MEcHEN.

WHEELING, Nov. 4.-With deate:'
ing hurrahs, Changing of bells and re-
ports frcm huge firecrackers, mixed
with nselodious strains from brass
'bands-and some strains not melodi'
GUS frcm all kinds OF noise making in

a miniature skfff eighteen inches long
to the biggest steamer that could be
gotten into the local port were lined
up In the ttg pageant, which spread
cut almost two miles i'll length.
Thousands of persons crowded the
banks of the river at the local wharf
to watch the tiotillla go by, and hum
dreds who wanted to take in the trip
to the dam we're disappointed because
there was not room on the boats to
accommodate tnenl. NO lHols Shl"''

Everybody seemed to catch the spirit
of the occasion, and apreciating what
the opening of the McMechen dam

and the employees were given all op'
portunity to see the greatest naVa'
display ever held ep the river AS the
boats passed down stream hundreds
of salutes were fired by river front
residents, while continuous roar was
kept up by the whistles of the mills
and factories and railroad engines
until after the parade passed Ben
wood. when there were NO more mil
whistles to make a noise.

NOMINATE CAPABLE MEN.

Last week we stated that the contest
in the city campaign was to be conducted
on party lines. At that time it looked as
though it would but now everybody seems
ia be up in the air. and it is impossible to
saw what kind of tickets are going to be
nominated. Bills were printed the first OF
this week over the signature of j. +. OCon-
nor. who was chairman of the democratic
city committee three years ago when the
fight was made on party lines calling for
meeting of the democrats for tomorrow
night to determine whether or not they
should nominate a straight democratic
ticket. The call seems to have caused
little commotion i'm the democratic fold, as
there was considerable talk among certain
democrats of calling another meeting for
tomorrow night for the purpose OF placing
'.Taxpayers' ticket" in the field However,
Yesterday the leaders of this movement de-
cided to wait and see what is done at the
meeting called by Mr.. O'Connor.
Whatever is done at any meetings that
may be held, the Examiner sincerely hopes
that those no participate in them will be
calm and deliberate in their actions. Can
vass the situation thoroughly and place
only those in nomination who, if entrusted
with the affairs of the city, will give US an
honest progressive and business like adj
nsinistration Nominate men, especially
fer the council who are broad minded-men
who will weigh all questions that may come
before them carefully and conscientiously.
There will be certain propositions come be-
fore the council during the next two years
which makes it highly important that that
body should be composed of just such men
as are mentioned above.
ANY city to be we'll governed and pro-
eressive should have for its mayor and Nom
hers of the council men who will not permit
their likes and dislkes to be their sole
guide to their official acts
Again we say nominate clean, capable
anil broad-minded men for the offices OF
mayor and council.

THE BANK OF MONTPELIER

levy in this district has been as high as the
law will permit for the past two years, and
the recent legislature failed to give trustees
in independent districts authority to levy
more than 20 mills tax. In discussing the
revenue side of the question, the Wallace
Press says:
'This is a problem that can not be put
aside so lightly, for, as prohibition extends
and revenue diminishes. this phase of the
matter will present difficulties which must
be met. The question is a practical one
and those who propose to cut off one source
of funds should not seek to evade the prob
lem of finding a new source. Even If it DE
true that millions Of money will not com
pensate for the evils of the liquor tr fic,
the question remains, and must be answered,
where are you going to get the money to
replace this that is being turned away from
the public treasury?
1.-The revenue is paid, of course, not y
the liquor dealer, but by the liquor con
sumner And, as everybody knows, a large
proportion Of the liquor consumers are peO-
pie who pay no property tax. Their only
contribution to the support of the govern
ment is paid when they buy a'glass of Ii nor.
If they stop buying liquor, as the pro-
hibitionists would compel them to do, they
will cease contributing even this much t.
the maintenance of public institutions
Will some other way be found to levy taa
upon this class of people, or must the add
tonal burden fall upon property owners
who are already overtaxed? The question
is not only pertinent, but it is very properl,
addressed to those who neutrality-suspicious.
of the liquor traffic. "
