If wo mny jndgo thorn by their nows papers tho Democratic politicians aro nervously approhensivo of an unseemly row botween President Harrison and Secretary Blaino. Their "wonted cqui poise is ho much disturbed that before tho tiling is over they aro as likely to bo standing on tlioir heads as their heels. Tho New York Preia sees tho situation about ns it is: The nomination rests solely with the masses of the party. If, as the trond of event* now seems to iuulcotc, the dcmnml Ih for Mr. lllaiue, the brilliiint and forccful secretary will have no warmer friend or well-wisher than tho sterling patriot and ahlu statesman whose administra tion hits been one unbroken record of progress and success If the President is again a candi date. the potent voice of the greatest secretary o#f stnlu since Seward will be heard in irreslstiblo appeal to the people for his re-election. The party is indeed fortunate that can count two such men n'nong its leaders. The claims of each upon populir confidence and admiration are manifold. c 9 0 <? 00 With two such leaders ns President Harrison and Mr. BIhIuo working together in the fullest harmony, the Republican party looks forward with confidence to 1892. Either of the two would command the entire and enthusiastic pnrtv support. Whether tho Minneapolis con vention names Blaine or Harrison, its nominee will bo triumphantly elected over tho candidate of free silver and free trade. There will bo no ecrntnblo between Harrison and Blaine. One of them is likely to be tho party's nominee. Blaine is at present tho party's choice and will so remain. Unless he shall ex pressly forbid it, as lie did in 18SS, I10 will be nominated without opposition. In that caso ho will have tho hearty support of tho President, who has never been a bolter and will no; begin now. The nominee, whoever he may be, will be chosen by the Republican party. If that nominee is to be Mr. Blaine it will not be necessary for any little cotcrie of politicians to jump to tho front as the only great and original Blaino leaders. If the President is to have the nomination it will come to him without putting the whole body of national oflico-holdcrs to the trouble of staying awake o' nights to pull tho party into line through delegates of their selection. The Republican masses like to chooso their own nominees, and now as here tofore they will insist upon their right to do it. Anybody who has taken his first lesson in politics can see how the President's cause might be very seri ously embarrassed by the active inter ference of an ofiice-tiolding machine. In West Virginia wo are not afraid of a machine ofv this sort, for when we get ready we smash it. This is what hap pened in 1SS4, when the party machin ery was in the hands of President Arthur's ollice-holding friends, who set out to got the solid West Virginia dele gation for him. The Republican masses wanted a solid Blaino delegation, went for it and got it. If Blaine is to be had this time tho "West Virginia delegation will bo there for him. Any other sort of a delega tion would misrepresent the Republican masses of this state, and the masses make the party. "What?Aiiother Postponement? By reason of the behavior of Speaker Crisp towards Mr. Mills the New York Times fears that "a great economic re form" may be delayed; which means that tlio country cannot bo brought to l'reo trado next year. But "it will come." If it bo postponed onco every lour years, won't the frco traders begin to bo a little discouraged? It has been coming for several years, you must remember. The more it is delayed the less it is likoly to come. Every year adds to the visible, substan tial fruits of protection. What the peo ple see they bcliovo. Thero is Kansas, which only recently thought it would be a good idea to re lieve binding twino from duty. Kan sas doesn't take that view since binding twine factories liavo been established 011 her own soil with the promise of more to come. So it is and so it will bo in greater denreo all along the lino. "Delays aro dangerous," particularly in a case of this kind, l'reo trado will liavo as niuiih show in 1SD2 as it will ever have, and this is not sdying much for its show. 1'ai'tlos in Louisiana. The lottery issue in Louisiana had not gone far before it broke tlio Democratic party into two parts, tlia one as earnest ly opposed to the lottery as the other is in favor of that plundering schoino. This division gnvo tlio Hcpublicans llier opportunity. By standing ehoul der to shoulder they had a fair chance to elect their ticket and do the stato a .further service by helping to lay the lottery out cold. Instead of this they have followed the Democratic example anil resolved themselves into two par ties, 0:10 under tlio lend of Warmouth, the other following Kellogg. The Warmouth men are out-and-out anti-lottery men. The Kellogg follow era ileny indignantly that tlioy nro for Iho lottery, but tiioy linvo not re solved against It and nro suspected of being on 1110 lottery aide. It does not recjulro vory keen percep tion or very closo knowledge of men to guess that tho linnd of the lottery man agers Is i'n the dividing of the Hopubll cun ]inrty. The lottery is in n (lglit to the death, hns ample resources nnd no conscience, operates boldly nnd does not count the money cost. It is n pity that it is bo, but so it is. Not n Necessary Kvll, Tho Inlcx Octnn nnd the ihnitary .Win nro endeavoring to do Chicago n groat service by urousing public sontiinont against tho Idea that tho smoke nuis ance is a necessary oviL It has been shown in the courso of tho discussion that it is possiblo to wipe out almost en tirely this pest of uriinn lifo in com munities burning bituminous coal. By this tiuio everybody understands thnt the volumes of coal that pour from cliimnoys and the stacks of locomotives represent so much coal unconsmned and therefore gone to waste. Tho per centage of wasto varies with circum stances, but is always great enough to bo worth saving. Tho dostructivonosB of the smoke nuisnnco, the discomfort and resulting inconvenience aro additional reasons for getting rid of it. Without any out lay for special contrivances it is agreed that unskillful or negligent stoking is at tho bottom of vory much of tho trouble. A locoriiotive engineer says that with his ordinary allotment of cars to draw he has no trouble to get along without making his locomotivo belch volumes ofsnioke. His trouble comes when ho is forced to draw several times as many care as his locomotivo can pull comforta bly. It is a reasonable inferenco that all tho locomotives thnt pass through or aro at work in Wheeling aro oither over taxed or badly lirod, for wo almost never 6eo one at work that docs not mark its way with a cloud of.black. This nuis nnco could be abolishod if tho city would let the railroad companies know that it is in earnest. As we see less of natural gas we shall seo more of tho smoke nuisance; and Wheeling is deeply interested in what Chicago is trying to do. liury ihc Wires. All over the country the demand is made upon electrical companies to put their wires under ground.' It is not ex pected tha'. this can be done now with wires used for electrical street railways, but their timo will come. Not long ago it was said telephone wiros could not bo operated under ground, but it has been found that it can bo done by using the metallic cir cuit, which has other advantages. No where is there a stronger desire than in Wheeling to get rid of tho wires, nnd the telephone wires have been looked to as the first to go. After much prodding tho telephono company offers to bury its wires in tho business portion of the city for a be ginning, and strangely enough Council hesitates to allow the company to do what it should be forced to do anyhow. On Main street between Twelith and Fourteenth are more than two hundred and fifty telephono wires, the telegraph wires, tho wires of tho electric light company and the wires of tho railway company, and to all these are being added the city's electric light wiros. The city'* wires aro dangerously near the telephono wires, unavoidably so, it is explained, but there they are; and tho voltage of their current will bo about twice as great as that which killed tho last murderer in Sing Sing prison. The chances for somebody to be killed with a phono in his hand are remarkably good. In less degree the same condition ex ists throughout the city. Toboridof the telephono wires will bo a decided gain, and tho sooner the bettor. The Natural Gas Supply. 'Xiiecity should be reasonable with the natural gas company, and it should remember that something is due to the consumers of natural gas. If the com pany cannot supply the city works and and private consumers, it would be only just to the company and considerate of private consumers to allow the gas to go to the private consumers. Since iho iactorics and the city works have been takon off the lino there has been noticeable and very welcome im provement in the service. If the pub lic works are to be restored we must ex pect a diminished housohold supply, which means very great inconvenience to tho householders who use this best of all fuel. Here is some unadulterated "pisin" from tho Democratic Xashvillo Ameri can: "Mr. Crisp owes his obligations-to the protectionists, to Tammany loughs, to Poodler Briee, to tho railroads and to tho. Farmers' Alliance. Mr. Mills is probably tho last man these fellows would want, and Mr. Springer is proba bly tho first." Enough oi this will bring about tho necessary quality and quantity of harmony. The supply from all sources is likely to equal tho de mand. Wnn.E wo were reading somo Mug wump reason why Mr. Elkins should not bo confirmed, along came a Wash ington dispatch announcing that ho had 'been confirmed.

A Queer Volcano.?In tho extremo eastern edge of Arizona, some forty miles, southwest of the remote and in teresting Indian pueblo Zuni, Now Mex ico, is n fltrnngo natural phenomenon? a Croat, shallow nalt lake, at tho bottom of a bowl-like depression sonio hundreds of feet deon and about three miles across. Tho basin is dazxllng white, with a crust of nalt crystals.

A dispatch from Shelby, N.Y., relates a story of a man's life having been sav ed by a bull. It appears that, while tho man was at work in his barnyard, ho was savagely attacked by a largo bull, which he had recently purchased, una hurled to tho ground. Ilo would have been crushed to death if a bull he had raised from a calf had not rushed to his rescuo by striking tho newcomer in tho side with such force that ho was knock ed away. Tho old bull, now terribly en raged, rushed after tho other bull again and drove him into a far corner of tho yard, whoro lie kept him until the farm er had dragged himself out of the yard. Ono year ago a farmer living near Plain City, Ohio, swore oil'drinking any kind of intoxicants for twolvo months, and%pignalizcd tho event bv suspending a jug of whisky by a rope in tho top of n jack-oak tree, near his barn. The other morning ho attempted to climb to tho jug to sco if tho liquor was still there, and in reaching for tho rope lie loaned forward too heavily on a rotten limb of the tree and fell to the ground, breaking his right leg in two places.' Mrs. Nancy Britt Kennedy, who claimed to bo 118 years old, died in Au gusta, Mo., on Saturday, undor unusual circumstances. At an early hour she got up and began praying that slio might die, and continued her prayers for nearly three-quartors of an hour, whon sho fell to tho iloor dead.
