[Entered at the foitoQlco at Wheeling, W. Va., M tmmd-clm* matter.] WHEELING, MAY 16,1880. A citizbn oi Chicago writei to the editor of the Timti, of that city, to settle n wager for him by informing him the name of the Capital of Welt Virginia. Now, it he had naked who ia Govornor of West Virginia and how many of lilm there are, that man'a request would liuve been more excuaahle. Yestekiiav the two Dakotaa elected sevonty-ilve delegates to fratnje constltu* tiona for the two new States, and the) will be adopted by the people on Octobei 1. On that day they will also elect i full set of State officers. It Is reasonably certain that the two now States will bi Republican, though it is known that tin Democrats proposo to make a deaperati effort to capture them. Judging from the preparations tha are being made In all parts of the countr Decoration Day will be more general!; observed this year than ever before, ani on a more elaborate scale than usual This goes to show that the interest ii the day Is not fulling off as the years gi by, and that there Is a determination oi the part of tlio people to keep green th sacred memories of the nation's deai heroes. A jtKMAttk'Aui.Y couBcientious mai his been discovered in Sioux City, Iowa About a year ago Captain J. It. liarr wa indicted for selling liquor without a gov crnment license. About the same tlm he was arreBted for violating a Stat law. The District Court found hie guilty on tbo latter charge, and ten tenced him to pay a heavy lino. II /uilod to pay and wbb conilnod in jail His sentence expired just in time to giv him an opportunity to change hi clothes and catch a train for Sioux Cltj ?where he waa to serve on a jury to tr Ills own caae under the United State revenue laws. Neither judge, attorney! court officials, nor jury for ono uiomen suspected that defendant Burr had an, connection with juror Barr. The jur retired, voted According to instruction! and Juror liarr silently voted for hi own conviction. There is probably not a similar cas on record. At tho outset of tlie present year the prevailing opinion among iron men was that prices were about attheir lowest, as thero had keen a considerable decline from tiie highest point in 1888, and that the spring would bob a good business at better prices. This expectation haa not been met. On the contrary, business bss been slow and prices are lower now than in January. Tho very decided drop in iron last week was the most pro nounced and abrupt cut in prices seen in this country for years, and has added in u marked degree to the feeling of un certainty aa regards the future. While the cut in prices affects more particularly the commoner gradoB of iron, such aa aro not now made in tbe blast furnaces hereabout, yet its rellex upon tbe Bossomor article has been of a weakening character. And yet so strong is tho belief among iron oro men that we aro ucaring a turn iu tho tide both aa respect* activity and better prices that they hold with considerable firin n?B8 to their views In regard to tbe valuo of their raff material, and are en deavoring to market their ore at the full average of lost year's prices. Thus far but little of their product has been marketed in this part of the Ohio Valley. Tho nail trade is so poor, as respects profits, and tho soft steel de mand so limited, that furnace owners see no encouragoment to buy. Hence they aro holding off and buying just u little as possible. The risks of a full line of purchases for a year'a supply are con sidered too great to warrant the accept ance of tho figures of tho oro men. Frequent referenco ia made to tho year 1879 as a basis of comparison with 1889. In some respects it opened and run along for months after the manner of thia year, and before Its close there catuo a rtmarkablo turn in the tide and both business and prices were booming in the fall. Some people, ignoring all tbe changes that havo occurred since then, seem to expect the history of 1879 to re' peat ItacH this year. There is very lit tlo likelihood of such an occurrence. Tho riso of 1870 followed tho roturn to spocie payments and was duo to a great demand for our crops iu Europo and to an immenso expansion in railroad building. Tbe cliango since then Is wry markod, Tho country baa over ISO,000 miles of rail road, and no small part of this mileage is a species of parellolism that has had a deadly effect on the value of invest incnts. l'lio hot house manner In which this atllflcial building has quickened into life plants for producing iron is now folt In tho oxistenco of a productive ca pacity out of proportion to natural con aumptlon. Tho South Is still rapidly building fur and Iron works of all kinds, and tho markets East and West aro Invaded and demoralised by pressure from that section. This fact, together with tho timidity of capital as to further railroad building on any large scalo, restricts tho demand for iron into narrower limits, And yet audi Is tho effect of low prices that the demand for Iron Is really ltnnieneo, so great la fact that If It was coupled with an old time demand from railroads wo should seo lively times Indeed. Al prices fall Iron and stool find new uses and con sumption Increases. They aro displio Ing wood to an Infinite extent. This Is tho fact that keeps prlcos at a point whero so many establishments can still afford to run. As to the future, the best opinions differ somewhat, bnt probably the most Intelligent Judgment Is that wear* down on a permanent lower plane ol price*. Tho clays of fancy prices have gone. The supply will keep pace with the do uaod, and there will be but little mv a [in tor booms. The country will be ?t j ince a vast producer and a vait eon mmer o< Iron and itael it low prtcea. | Chie state o( things la not incompatible I with prosperity. It will simply require much more time to make the same money that was made rapidly in lormer yean. Tb? Btory uf Mra* liuln??. A Wheeling gentleman who In hiB travela ol late years twice met the re markable woman whose case has just been finally decided by the United States Supreme Court, Mrs. MyraCiark Gaines, and became sufficiently ac quainted with her to learn Iroin her the story ol her life, says that it is probably the moat romantlo history of litigation on record. She was an old woman when tbla gentleman met her first in Washington in 1880, and again in New Orleans three years later. But she was old in years only. In all other reepecta ehe was youug, notwithstanding sbo bad out lived two husbands and been in the courts contesting for her just property rights in New Orleans for half a century. 8he was very active on her feet and walked about the room almost incessant ly as she talked, and occasionally as she related some amusing incident of her experience her laugh was as cbeory as that of a girl. Her faith in her cause and in the triumph of the right was simply marvelous. She believed in the etticaoy of prayer, and it was moving to bear her tell how in her darkest hours of poverty aud loneliness in New Orleans, when she pledged her jewelry for bread for bemelf and two ohlldren, she would come back to her humble lodgings aud "talk" as she expressed It, to her "Hoavenly Father," and oxplaln to him her case and her need of his help. Some of the greatest lawyers ol the land wore in her case for years, on one side or the other. Among them such men as Daniel Webster, Ueyerdy John son and John J. Crittenden. She used to tell of the compliment paid her once iu the United States Supremo Court by Webster, who;' although on tlio other side, in alluding to her long pending suits, even at that early day, Bpoke of her as a woman whom the breath of calumny bad never reached. Her case was tried in the United States District and Circuit Courts at New Orleans, Nashville and othor places at various times on technical points, and carried up almost as often to the Unitod States Supreme Court, and still the city of Now Orleans realsted by one shift and an othor her victories, whllo sbo never quailed under her defeats, Until this woman was of age she never know her truo name or origin. Born in New Orleans Bho supposed ahe was the daughter of a wealthy man in Philadelphia, In whoso house the was brought up?the man, as sho claimed, who was tlio fraudulent beneficiary of her real father's largo proporty In New Orleans. In a fit of anger one day he let the secret out to her that sbo was not his child, aud with that disclosure began the great quest of her life, to vindicate her rights to her name and fortune. She made this the business of her life and bad the assistance of her two husbands ?two of tlio best men, as she was ac customed to Bay, with whose love and devotion God hail ever blessed any woman. The aeconfl was Major Gon ers! Gaines, of tlio United States Army, who at ono time drew his sword In open court on one of the opposing counsel. This was away back in tbo thirties. It was supposed years ago that Mrs. Gaines would be but s limited beneficiary in her litigation, even If finally success ful, so great had beon hor exponaea In tbo shape of money borrowed and con tingent fees contracted for. She did not live to see tho final victory which camo on Monday last, but her wonderful faith in hor case and hor cause were fully vindicated, and her namo will re main in Amerlpan annals as the most remarkable ovidenoe and jnstanco of what faith and perseveronce can accom plish, even in the hands of a woman, that our history thus far gives any ac count of. llallot Unlit rid. It Is gratifying to note tho progress that has been made in the direction of ballot retorm in the past year. The agi tation of the question liaa not logged and haa been productive of excoilent .re sults, and although the eilort to pass wholesome laws has failed In several States, the outlook for an early adoption of reform measures by nearly all the States ia exceedingly bright. Tho Amer ican people liave begun to realljo that some means to insure purity in elections and to prevent bribery and corruption Is necessary, and legislators cannot long withstand tho public clamor for these reforms. Particularly is this true in West Virginia, where recent experiences have created a public sentiment demanding legislation on tho subject. The action of aeveral States proves that what Is known as the Australian system of voting, which has beon de scribed at length in theso columns Is the most popular and Is conceived to bo the beat system of voting yet devised. The cities of Mllwaukeo and Louisville and the 8tate of Massachusetts wore tho only localities In the country at the opening of tho year that had adopted the method. Qreft progress hat been made since that time, however. The New York Tritium in a lengthy article upon the aubject, speaks of these gains as follows:; In Indiana, wherotho Vomocrals have for yoars successfully resisted the passago of a registration law, although tlio con stitution required it, thoy woroforcodby public sentiment to paas a ballot act which Is believed to bo ouo of tlio best Jot framed. This goes Into oflect In uno. 1800. In Rhodo Island the law haa also boon Adopted which goes Into effect next year. Montana has a law. In Connecticut the Republicans have Just made a party measure of a bill based upon tho Massachusetts law. and also In tend to paas a personal restriction bill to purge the registry lists ot large number* of names which havo no right to bothero. It is believed that there Is no doubt of the nonage of both of these hills. In Minnesota also the Republicans have passed a stringent law, and In Wisconsin tho law relating to the city of Milwaukee haa been made general, and tho groat de fect of the former law In not providing for the exclusive nse of official ballots has been removed, the new law forbid ding the uso o( ballots turnlahed by the political parties, In Missouri tho Dem ocrats have passed > law, and In Tsnnes see they have brought Nashville, Mem Rlils, Chattanooga and Knoxvlllanndor is now system, which will doubtless be extended II It should wori satisfactorily, and have passed a registration lit be* ?i?ii?j?:?j idet. With Connecticut there will be Stflpa b?vin# ge?rai ballot retota *T&a (bowing, (urpriiinfaifl gratify. lOKMltla, does not reprewqt all that has beenaccomptlshed. In many other Legialatures bills have been proposed and considered, and though they may all tail, the discussion must bear fruit in the future. Tbe agitation has begun. Borne of tbe failures are much to be re gretted. Among the more conspicuous are those in Maine. New Jersey, Penn sylvania, Ohio aud Illinois. Fuolicsen timent does not seem to have been suffi ciently aroused many of tbe these States to compel tbe adoption of tbe system. In Pennsylvania, for example, it seems to have been generally agreed that tbe need of such a system, which no doubt existed in other Stales, was not felt. Tho failure in New York, it is hardly necessary to repeat, will lie at the door of the Democratic Governor. The lte publicans bavo supported tbe bill to a man. The fact that the Democrats of In diana, Missouri aud Tennessee have carried through general ballot-reform laws demonstrates the absurdity of the charge that this system is a Republican device to disfranchise Demociats. This is tbe fliinsyjprotext upon which Gov ernor Hill and his followers in this State are opposing the progress of this reform. They are making a blunder of the saaie tort as that which ranged the Democratic party on the side of slavery, against the war of the Union, on the side of the saloon, and against regis tration laws. The principle that the State shall not only count the ballot, but shall furnish it, and shall guarantee that the elector may cast it in secret, Is cer tain to prevail. Governor Hill is blindly fighting the inevitable, and the man who does that usually emerges from the con teat badly battered. The Ours? A nit PrulilUllluQ. During the recent prohibition cam paign In Massachusetts a canvass of the clergymen of the State was made by the Amendment Committee with the fol lowing interesting result: There were 1,03(1 responses, and nil but 102 of these were in favor of the amend ment, 01 being opposed and 11 undecid ed. But the iact is pointed out that this Is considerably less than one-half of the whole number of clergymen in theState. There were 2,374 in 1880, and there are now probably between 2,600 and 8.000. The inference In that those who did not respond are not in favor of the amend nipnt. Tho returns prove that itflndsits prin cipal support in tbe Methodiit and Hap. tiat denominations. There were In 1880 074 Congregational ministers, but only 270 responded at all to tbe circular; out o! 240 Unitarian clergymen at that date only 74 responded and 30 said "no;" out of 152 Episcopalian clergymen only 4t responded, and 117 said "no;" out of 201 Methodist clergymen, 260, and of 231 Baptist clergymen 201 said "yes."
