'88. THE INCREASE WAS 1184,868 Ovtr the Internal Serena* Collection! for *96?Two-third* or Man of the Pederal Kereno* of the Xntire SUte Collected from. Thla City?A Good Argument for Hew Oorern- ' ment Btxildlng- Hare. Not many people realize, and eome ] who realise do not appreciate, the Importance of the city of Wheeling as a ' contributor to the Federal revenue. For instance, lew Know, that two-thirds or more of the internal revenue collected for the entire atate of Wert Virginia cornea from this city?yet It la a fact For the year Just ended the collections exceeded all past records, amounting to fully 11,000.000, or an average of &S23 per day of the 300 on which business is transacted by the Federal revenue men. This vast sum is made up almost entirely of stamp sales, a comparatively small amount coming' from liquor U- j censes. The stamps are used on the output of beer from the local brewer- J lea, stogies from the score or more of factories, "Mali Pooch" from the Bloch Brothers' Tobacco Company, and on documents which the war revenue act requires to be stamped. Of this , million dollars, the local revenue office is directly credited with about 1900,000, the other $100,000 or more going direct to the main offlce in Parkersburg. The following table shows tho collections of Internal revenue on stamp sales, made at the local office during the months of the years 1498 and 1899: j Months. 1#?. 1M. Iricreaae.

In fact, the year over which the increases are made was itself a year of prosperity until then unequalled. It Is said that there is no city In the United States of Wheeling's slsc, which contributes nearly so much revenue to the Federal treasury. The thought cannot fail to bob up that a city which contributes a million a year to the government Is deserving of good treatment by Congress when Its _ representative (Captain Dovener) and 1 /Mr Smtn at the nroner time 2 push the bill providing for a new and ? suitable government building, to replace the present Inadequate and antl_ quilted structure. GOES TO PARHRSBUBG. Meeting of the 8tate League of Republican Clubs- Called for That City March 8?Prominent Speakers Coming to This Meeting. Secretary D. E. Hughes, of the West Virginia League of Republican Clubs, yesterday Issued the official call for the meeting of the organixation. Wheeling and Parkersburg were applicants for the meeting, and the latter won out. ! The date Ib March 8th, and the Indications are that the meeting will be largely attended, though it will not be so | large a meeting as could have been had in Wheeling on February S3, the time and place suggested by some of the local Republican leaders, who desired the league to benefit by the great crowd and enthusiasm "Dewey Day" would crystallze in Wheeling. However, the holding of the league meeting In Parkersburg will Improve Wheeling's ? chance of securing the state Republican convention, which is, of course, the r more important gathering of the two. Secretary Hughes, of the league, is corresponding with well known Republican leaders and orators out of the - state, and the programme will likely Include addresses by speakers of na& tional reputation. ;; A DEMOCRATIC SLATE Said to Be Brewing in Ohio County. ] The Ticket Alleged to Be on the ; d Tapis. i The meetings of a section of the coun- I ty Democracy at regular Intervals con>' tlnue, with more or less Interest, and < y the brethren are effecting a slate to be r * run through the primaries.
