The lioards were l>orn in roj| tho face of great opposition, much of dist which was honest but based on a mis- pl?J conception of the situation. To say W<JJ that tho Hoards, in spite of any and all ,nci 'defects, have fully vindicated the wis- onb - ' dom of their establishment, is to say the; only thiit which every observing mnn in B\tl* tlio City of Wheeling knows to be true. 5S)U The generally excellent administra- won tion of every branch of the public ser- Vnc vice which these Boards have adjninistered, gives ample and conclusive tCM?i- amo mony to their efficiency. Not only so, Tl but im they gather experience they im- "JJ,* prove, giving tho people still more and more for tho money entrusted to them rfj for disbursement While it is no more gj than was to havo been expected, it is E nevertheless worth while to recall the j creditublo fact, that no scandal is con- / nccted with tho administration of any i of these Boanls. Their work in the I main lifts not only been performed on \ approved business principles, but has ? achieved results which stand to the last- * ing credit of tho men who havo com- G posed these todies. Evory citUen of Wheeling rcmciulwrs (\ tliat condition of affairs out of which the * public eervico of thin city was lifted by J tho creation of these Boards, when the fl executive business of tho city was ad- 1 ministered by committees of Council?a | strango and unprotltablo mixing of legislative with executive functions. That * was tho day of transacting business by St' rolling. Everybody so understood it Ji Jem* w that it could lie accomplished M 0 other way. -This was not all. Tho [J ley having been appropriated, there $1 no guarantee that the people would ro any substantial improvement for r money. It does not follow that money whs dishonestly handled; it (j, simply wasted. Tl lie record of tho Boards tells a very rent story. There has been a dy increase in the gas and water sys- w , requiring largo and continuous out- tl: 1 of money. In these respects much j*1 ains to he done, hut the Boards ing these matters iu charge are on w right line and, if they be uot haiiip- li: 1 in their operations, there is good Jjj ton to expect that they will very f(l erinlly increase the efficiency of o* ir systems and to the public satisfaci in the matter of cost. The growmiles of the llnest paved streets in country attest the value of the Her- ?< s rendered by the Board of Public d< rks?a substantial and notable im- P vement which lias done at least as ^ ch as any other one thing to attract tl ntion to the City of Wheeling. b 'lie idea upon which the Board sys- jlf i id based is, that the Boards shall y nya Ik: composed of representative a incss men, in whose hands the work o daced to bo carried on at their reason- J'j u discretion, Council being ever pros- j, ius a general brake to stop evident ite or dishonesty. The element of (? action is essential to the life of the jj irds and the successful prosecution of [, ir work. For, it is not to be sup- e ed that the kind of men who ought c? Mjrform these services will consent to it if their hands are to be tied nt j, ry turn, and their respective Boards n graded to the servile condition of n re howers of wood and drawers of 11 tcr for Council. Nor can this be the >ection of Council itself when it asks ponsiblo men, who are placed under id for the faithful performance of K ir duty, to placp themselves in a posi- ? 1 where no honor can come to them I little good, if any, can result to the >lic service in which they are en- b ed. ' v t may be that Council has the right ^ jxact of the Boards the most depend- j, services, to control entirely all their } da and to supervise in its minute des and to the last dollar the entire oration of the Board system. Yet to ^ this would be to cripple seriously?at S) . to destroy?the best agency ever de- e< lmI by the city of Wheeling for its ad- f' icoment. Wheeling has a very imper- " t form of municipal government and j, i Board system was very happily de- si ed to cover some of the weakest = ces. t would bo a serious blunder and a g step to the rear that would take m the city any part of the benefits of i system which grows more valuable ry year. It is for Council to say ether this shall be done. There is no | ural antagonism between Council I tho Boards, for tho Boards are tlio itures of Council, and upon Council uflccteil the credit for all the good k that may he accomplished by tho ;rds. llualnc.ri Moll To The Front. he business men have begun to lay 1 of the tariff question and' U> tell it they know about it; which is bad the party of free trade. Business i are not much given to theory. They 1 in faetn, and facts are particularly it free trade cannot stand, for free le is "a science based on assumi>is." lswhero we print from the New York m a letter by Col. W. L. Strong, a i largely engaged in mercantile inanjturc, an observer and a thinker, withal a man of strong character. . Strong shows that if tho American ;e-earner paid the whole tariff he lid still be the gainer by an aggregate _ >WS,7i;>,803 on tho comparative ba- "1 of American wages and English ;es. This puts the question of wages i tariff in a nut-shell so that cveryy may comprehend it; and tho free lers cannot upset this way of put; it. " | >1. Strongsayssomeother things which r' uldset Americans to thinking, for they e to do with our bread and butter. Tl shows that the free trade utterances JjJ President Cleveland have set British w utfacturers on keen edge, hoping for rger share of our trade. If they get = re, American manufacturers and criean wage-earners will get less. The I way to dash tho British hopes rais- j[ >y tno free trnuo doings is to uoieat Mills bill and clcct n President on 11 c.x tci'tioa platform and with o ptotcc- ? i record of his.own. If tho |?eoplo K> it protection they cannot hopo to get r' y voting for free trade. ^ S031E STARTLING FACTS. ? National I'ny ltoll of Amorirnn Labor (>' Coiuimrcil With Kurope.
