'I'lie Water Supply.
Dr. L'Iricli doca not agree with Dr.
Adhbrook about tho pollution of
Wheeling creek at a considerable distance
from the city. Ho doca agrco
with tho IxTELLiGENcn that that tho
whole subject should be Investigated
by a competent engineer, thnt we may
find the best way out of a bad fix.
It would be impossible to llnd In
Wheeling an intelligent physician who
regards tho present water supply as
anything lens than constant monnco
to the-welfare of tho community.
Nobody has better opportunities to
know tho exact state of tho case; nobody
sees more of the evil fruits of the
impure water we tmo than the physicians,
who arc brought faro to face with
all of it. Those who are satisfied with
the water we have aro <hosc who do
not know or who do not think. They
have survived; tho passing away of the
less fortunato does not impress them..
Council has -lone well in the matter
of the electric light. The Electric
Light Commission is composed of the
Gas Trustees and nine member* of
Council. A Water Commission similarly
composed, calling in an engineer
ns the Electric Light Commission did,
would bring tho whole matter up In n
business-like wny and hasten the solution
of a question which Wheeling
must solve.
Tlin Allinnco and tho Hpenlccrnhlp.
Tho Democrats have been cultivating
and coddling the Farmers' Alliance because
they were quito sure it would
prove a particularly ugly thorn in tho
Iiopublican flesh. With regard to tho
Alliance in the South they have hnd
mental reservations. They were confident
that it would l>e easy enough to
hold the Alliance in check in that section,
while it went ahead knocking the
Itcpublican party out in the North.
Well, here comes the Alliance to give
notice that since there is a Speakership
light on hand the Alliance is in it for
keeps. More than that, to make tho
situation more uncomfortable for the
Democrats, the Alliance leaders announce
that their nominee will be a
Southern man, Colonel Livingston, of
Georgia.
The Alliance cannot elect, but it can
make a miserable quarter of an hour
.'or the majority party, which has relied
on using the Allianco strength as a
necossary'adj unct.
The Boundary Question.
West Virginia's interest in the boundary
dispute with Maryland, no less
than a due consideration of the people
who have stood with us on this question
uml do not wish to bo turned over
to another State, requires that our side
of the enso shall be handled with all
tiie skill and forco we can command.

Republican Leafrno or Pennsylvania.
The meeting of the Republican
I-oagiie of Pennsylvania is near at hand
and tho contest for tho Presidency
grows warmer. In fact, it Is not too
much to say .that"the contest is hot.
From the talk of the partisans of the
candidates the triumph of cither will
bo the ruin of the loagno and with it
the Hepublican party in the State. Cf
courso this is stage thunder which will
pass away without any lightning After
the league has made its choice.
Western Pennsylvania will be unhappy
if it cannot have the brilliant Dnliell
for president. Eastern Pennsylvania
must fiavo Iloblnson or blood. Until
now tho fig lit hai b**n between theso
two. Now it la thought that Central
Pennsylvania will rueli In under the
Ilmitings banner and aeriousiy disturb
some calculationa.
The league prcaidenry in Pcnnsylvania
seems to be regarded as having

Xew York's Press Muzzle.
The litraid ia the second newspaper
to be<t>roceeded against under the New
York law which forbids the publication
of reports of killing by electricity. The
IleriM is limply able to defend itself,
and, if necessary, could command from
the press of the State assistance enough
to combat a dozen such laws.
Tho law will now bo thoroughly
tested. Tho press of tho Ktato will sco
to tho test of its constitutionality if any
convictions follow tho prosecutions. It
is midoniablo that overy newspaper in
tho State is guilty of violation of the
law; but whether juries can be found
to convict is nn important question.
Whcthor the publication of reports
of thin character is hurtful to the public
morals is not the point. Under the
constitutional guarantee of tho liberty
cf tho press can the pross ho punished
for such publications? To punish for
misdemeanor newspapers offending
against this pcculidr law in certainly to
"abridge tho liberty oi tho press,"
which tho coiiotilntion ot New York
says shall not ho done.
Our impression is thai it will tako
about ono pood round to knork that
law out so tliat it will not be heard
from any moro. It is against the spirit
of the age.
Wmt Virginia Con I,
West Virginia's growth in coal production
in the census decade is ono of
the marvels of the time. With this
growth has been developed tho fact that
in quality West Virginia is equal to tho
best, while in extent of deposits sho
lends all.
The high official commendation in the
ccnsits report is well deserved. West
Virginia, notwithstanding the relative
p'.nce she has taken among coal producing
States, is destined to take still
highor rank.
The railroads now under construction
will bring into market new and largo
areas of coal, and rich deposits along
the established highways, lone apparently
uunoticed, are attracting attention
that will soon bring in tho capital to
turn them to account.
With coal, iron, and hard wood, West
Virginia must make increasing progress
in manufactures. Nature has assembled
the raw materials for us; we havo only
tunity.
A Dcfrnso of Hill.
Gov. Hill's friends wish it distinctly
understood that he is not drawing two
salaries, one as governor of New York
ttnd one as United States senator. His
friends arc right Gov. Iliii is the man
who is drawing the salary. Senator
Hiss is allowing his to accumulate. The
day he is sworn in lie will ho entitled to
his salary as senator from March 4,1801.

The monthly report of the American
Protective Turin League shows a distribution

hundred confidential agents. The
league's semi-annual statement shows
a total distribution of 7,810,158 pages of
tariff litorature. Considering the above
facts it is not surprising that the free
trade press should attack tho work of
the League as it has in tho past few

DJl. PLRICH'S VIEWS*
The Subject of u Pure Water Biippljr-Dr.
AohlirookUPoInU Considered.
To thf FAUor of the InttUUjtnrrr.
Sir:?In this morning's issue of your
paper, of which I have been a constant
rearder for nearly sixteen years, I noticed
an interview urtth Dr. Ashbrook,
of Fulton, on the puro water question
which is attracting the attention of our
community at the present time. Owing
to the fact that I expect to leave the city
in a few days to bo absent about three
or four weeks, I cannot investigate the
doctors Biniemeuis in every mm
hope to do #o after my return, for I do
not bolievo that those who have a regard
for the public welfare, and who possess
the requisite knowledge to throw
light on thisqiiestion, should ceaso from
their endeavors until something is done
to clear awuv the cloud that is hanging
over our sanitary horizon, and dropping
its deadly ininsnia upon the life of our
citizens. 1 cannot, however, forbear to
take a cursory notice of sonio of the
points which my friend Dr. Ashbrook
endeavors to malic. First, he attributes
the prevalence of typhoid fovcr along
the course of Wheeling creek to tho impurity
of tho water in thatstream. This
cannot be true, because the inhabitants
near a creek never drink the water out
of tho stream. Where they have no
springs thev always dig wells toil i water
supply. Tiieso wells are usually situated
in tho front yard, while the stables
and other outhouses are located in tho
rear, mostly at a greater elevation than
the well. This is most probably the
sourceof tho infection, and not the creek, i
It is a matter well known to all readers
of medical literature, that almost every
epidemic of typhoid fever in the country,
or |n a small" village, comcvs from a contaminated
well or spring. The epidemic
that prevailed in Fulton last year, with
which Dr. Ashbrook is more familiar
than anybody else, was traced to a well,
and the authorities closed it.
The nuisance of throwing dead aniraals
into the creek can be abated bysimplv
enforcing tho law, which forbids
such-tiling. The pollution of the Ohio
river is not due to dead animals thrown
into it, but tho thousands of sewers
emptving into it containing the excreta
of millions of human beings. The assertion
that the creek will not furnish
sullicienfwater, and that the paper mill
nump could dry it up in nil iiour with
its tlve-inch pipe during the dry season,
is one of those wild conjectures" that are
not founded on knowledge or experience.
Tho gentlemen would lind themselves
most woefully deceived if they
should attempt it. 'Thcro is no more
weight in such an assertion than tbore
would be in the notion of a child that
has not yet learned to make proper allowance
for distance, that a cow a hundred
yards oil' was no bigger than a
mouse. Such things as that constitute
the work of an experienced hydraulic
engineer. The public should not allow
guesses of that kind to divert it from
thy laudable pursuit of knowledge in
this question, so essential to the life
and health of our citizens.
One word on the suggestion made by
mv vounir friend to diir wells on the
peninsula to obtnin a sufficient and pure
water supply for Wheeling: If the
gentleman will reflect a moment he will
know thnt, as to quantity, there cun be
no comparison between an artitical lake
made VI or 15 iniles up the creek and a
few wells dug along tlio creok on tho
peninsula. As to the purity of thpse
wells, I would like to ask liim. or any
one else, entertaining such an idea, how
he would like to drink the solution of
all tho Fulton butcheries, fertilizer factory
and of the peninsula cemetery; for
we all know that any wells dug along
tho creek around tliere would contain
nothing but filtered creek M'ater. The
very idea of such a beverage is enough
to turn a stomach that is not copperlined.

Tim School Controversy*
PreA)\itcrinn Manner.
While there is no desire to add to or
continue any controversy, facts should
at the same'time bo given to correct
erroneous impressions. There seems to
be considerable misunderstanding
abroad regarding the nature of the con
tion.
Mr. Morgan has begun liis work on
tho new plan, and has already "signed
several contracts with the" Catholic
schools, which are apparently triad to
enter into the new order of tilings."
The charge that Mr. Morgan has discharged
Catholic teachers from these
schools becauso they were Catholics, is
not true. They were discharged for
cause, just as Protestants who were
teachers in covernment contract schools
have been discharged for cause. There
was wisdom in severing relations with
the bureau. It is good to lop off an excrescence.
The Bureau was an nnnovnnce
to the Indian Office. The intelligent
hierarchy ought to bo able to see
that it was a hindrance to their work.
But it was started as a well contrived
piece of ecclesiastical machinery right
at the door of our national government.
For two years those employed in the
Catholic bureau have been aliusing Commissioner
Morgan and the Indian Office.
The hierarchy made no elFort to restrain
or hinder this, and they now have the
legitimate consequences. It should be
said that the employe who sent the abusive
article to the New York .Vim has resigned
his office in the Catholic Bureau.
What 1 have said in this and last week's
letter on the subject in the way of
comment, woe said of my own volition,
without any influence or suggestion
from anyone. Hearing of the correspondence
with Father Chapelle and the
cardinal, I asked Mr. Morgan for official
information reiranlinz tne same, ond
copies of all tho correspondence wero
kindly handed mo.

Chicago, Julv 20.?James J. West suffered
a crushing defeat at the hands of;
Judge Blodpett in the suit brought
against him by Ilorman C. Huiskarap
and the other owners of the Tinuv
newspaper to declare his ownership of
stock in the newspaper invalid. West
also filed a cross hill against the.complainants,
which the court dismissed,
west's defeat was complete, the court
declaring that ho had over issued
slock to the extent ot SOU snares, mm
that this was invalid and should bo
cancelled. Tho court also held -thntr
West's conduct in tho purchase of the
Timet was fraudulent.
In its decision tho court reviewed at
great length the history of the purchoso
of the Timet from the Storey heirs in
1887. The purchase prico of the entire
Htorey estate was Soio.OUO. Of this sum
8300,000 went to tho heirs, SltfO.000 of
which was to be paid by reconveyance
of real estate and the" remainder in
cash. -Mrs.Storey, the widow,was to be
paid $275,000 in stock for her interest in
the estate.
The court finds that 1,471 shares out
of a total of 10,000 represents the total
amount of Timet stock issued to West,
and that in addition to the 5,000 shares
which the court decided invalid as having
been issued to West without compensation,
that West had over-issued
stock to the amount of 1,250 shares,
much of it to innocent purchasers. Of
this West lias failed to mako good 254

CArE May, N. J., July 2!).?The President
this morning acted upon several
pardon cases, one of which was that of
C'apt. Georgo G. Arines. Tho occurrence
which led to tho trial by court martial
of Captain Armes created considerable
comment at the tinio it took place.
Captain Arines at tho time of the inauguration
of President Harrison was a
retired army officer living in Washing!
ton.
On inauguration dav Captain Armes
received some fancied grievanco from
some Pennsylvania officials. A few
evenings afterwards ho met Governor
Beaver, of Pennsylvania, in the lobby of
a hotel, and publicly insulted hUn, going
so far ns to pull his nose. Captain
Armes was tried by court-martial for
conduct unbecoming an officer, and a
gentleman, was found guilty and sentenced
to dismissal from the army. Tho
President subsequently commuted this
sentence, and ordered that Captain
Armes be_restricted within a limit of
fifty miles of the District of Columbia
for a period of three years. Upon recommendation
of the Secretary of War,
tho President has now commuted this
sentence, and Cantain Armes in future
can go whore he pleases.

Because it has proven it's nbsoluto
merit over and over again, because it
has an unequalled record of cures, because
its business is conducted in a
thoroughly honest manner, and because
it combines economy and strength,
being the only medicine of which "100
llQses One Dollar" is true?these strong
points have made Hood's Sarsapariila
the most successful medicine of the day. C

A GOOD SHOW"
We are always advising you to
advertise, and to keep on advertising,
but that does not cover the
ground- entirely. Of course, vou
should make your advertising effective?if
an electric light be avalable,
you should not use a "tallow dip"
to light the path to your store.
What do we mean by that ? Simply
that the more conspicuous, the
more artistic, the more attractive,
the more original you make your advertisements,
the more people will
see and read them, and the more j
customers you will have to con
tribute to your cash-drawer.
Study effects in bold pretty type
?good matter may be spoiled by
ugly dressing. Seek to catch the
eye by a display of good taste' in the
style and arrangement of your an- "
nouncement.
Above all, let it be bold enough to
be easily read. Don't vex a reader
by vexing his or her eyes |
