A lino in tho Iktellioescer's report of tho proceedings ?' 'he polico eoin inittco ot Council has been misunder stood as a desire to ecrcen ex-Policeman Jfarks because bo is a Republican. Tlio Intelligence!! approves tlie dismissal of Marks, ?3 it will that of every man who may be dismissed for like or equal ly good eauso. The Intelligencer la glad to seo that tho chief of polico is making an intelli gent and courageous cflort to do his duty and givo the city a good polico ad ministration, something not seen in Wheeling for a long time. Tho I.'lTKi.LiQEXcr.ii deeply regrets that tho polico committco oi Council, instead of supporting Chief McNichol in his honest effort to raiso the polico forco to higher eflicioncy, has arrayed itself against the chiof, against the effi ciency of tho force, against tho public j welfare, and oil the side oi an insubor-1 dinatc officer who lias shown himself j unworthy to wear tho uniform of a guardian of the peace. A man of less honest determination than Chiof JIcNichol might well bo dis heartened by this llagrant violation of! tho proprieties of the situation; but , Chief McXichoi will probably console himself with the reflection that he is not responsible ior tho cominitteo's queer idea of what constitutes a good policeman. Tho chief has sworn to do his duty, j Let him continue to do tho best he can, no matter what the polico commit-1 tee or anybody elso may do or leave undone. It may bo that in the end Council will sustain tho chief of polico and rcbuKe tho polico committeo for j what it has sought to do. If Council endorses tho committee, that will be bad for tho city, but it will still remain for the chief of polica to go on doing the j best ho can under unfavorable circum-1 stances. Tho people will know where to put the blame. Chiof McNichol will have j a good conscienco and tho approval oi: good citizens without regard to party. I Lighter Light-Weight Tin Plato. In order to cut under the product of the young Amorican industry the manu facturers of tin plate conceived the idea of knocking twelve pounds off the stan dard weight of a box oi tin plate. This does not seem to have been cut enough; as witness this interesting extract from a letter to the Intelligencer from the &. G. Taylor Co., of Philadelphia: Since writing: you on the 19th inst., our Atten tion has been culled to the great extent to which the manufacture of foreign light weight ti:i plates is carried on, and we hear of plates welshing SO lbs. to the box, who re as the stun daid is 112. This you see is a discount of 2S per com; we hardly think the consumer will get this benefit in the price. It is :i great pity that such plates have to be put upon the market. It may pay the seller for a time but in the end tho American tin pi to of standard weight and superior qualitv will commaud the trade It de serves as Lin plate isuu article that soon shows its v.tluo. "Whoever has use for tin plate has use for that article of greater weight than SO pounds to the box, and consumers will do well to seo what it is thoy are gottin'.; when they order tin plate. The foreign makers wjll-resort to other shifts, but there will be an American tin plate industry nevertheless, just as wo have established an American steel rail indus try. Tiiis country will not turn back. Crowding Mr. Pendleton. There is in Washington a disposition to crowd the lion. John 0. Pendleton. ^Republicans do not tako him seriously, i but in his own party there is an evident desire to got rid of him, probably bo-, causo he is forging to the front and get-! ting in the way of Democratic aspirants , for higher honors. It has- even been suggested by Mr. Pendleton's Democratic associates that his party at homo try to nominate some body else this time. All this is idle talk; Mr. Pendleton has tho nomination within call, and when tho time comes ho will tako it. Speakingof Mr. Pohdloton, here is a Washington correspondent's snap-shot viow of him on a great occa sion. Representative Pendleton, of Wheeling. W. Vu., 1- a young nmn. who.wept when he was uu seated by the Vifty-firU Congress, lie Is now at tempting to prove to his constituency that ha is a stn:e>man. He had u little speech prepared on tho Indian question to day, and aitor various it niggles aud wild waving of his hand, managed to obtain recognition, llis great speech which ho was bursting to get oil*, was a combination of platitudes that Interested no one. He began to outline tin Indian policy which he conceived to be original until Representative I'ickett, of South Dakota, who knows all about Indians, informed him that his supposed now Idea was tho policy this covonirucnt under Republican laws had been following for years. Mr. I'eudletou sub sided. Why did not some party friend do Mr. Pendleton tho kindness to tell him that he wius going wrong and savo him from colliding with a South Dakota blizzard? Anybody who knows the represontativo from tlio First district knows he rohear?od this speech in Democratic hearing inoro limn onco before he got a chunco to iiro it into the Coiigrwionul Jitcorcl. And why this poraUtont elTort to put Mr. l'ondleton down by calling htm a young man? Ho hns been young, "but lie hasn't lor a long tlmo now.'' liis ngG is one of the nocrctn of local history, and tho correspondents hnvo no right to refer to it. By common consent at homo Mr. Pendleton is regarded as a person of uncertain ago and correspond ing attainments. Isn't lliin on'ough? .Mr. l'ondleton will not bo in tho next Congrovi ami ho should bo permitted to round of! his caroor handsomely in this. To Itestrlet Immigration, Tho Ohio Valley Trades and Labor Assembly made a sensible move ye3tot day when it adopted a resolution favor ing a tax of $200 011 each immigrant ar riving in this country. This is the remedy proposod by tho IntkIiUoencek as tho most practicable way to doal with an increasing evil which grows moro threatening every year. Tho attention of unoaay politicians is directed to tho action of this represen tative body of wage-earners, which in cludes in its large membership a large proportion of adopted citizens. Foreign born citizens who hnvo come to tliia country to stay, who lovo it and desiro to shelter it from danger, think as clearly and as patriotically on this im portant subject as thoso who wore born to this aplondid inheritance. Tho politicians noed not bo afraid to take up and doal vigorously with this matter of immigration. The people ara getting their eyes open and aro ready to move. What timid politicians have to fear is that thoy may bo run over if thoy do not begin to movo. l'ut up thp bars $200 high! Tlio Democratic Involution in New York. Tho New York anti-snaps aro bravely resenting tlio degradation of their party by Hill, but they will not induce tho Chicago convention to feat their dele gates. Tho Hill delegates will go to Chicago with the brand of regularity blown in tho bottlo, and this will settle it. Before the anti-snaps can got seats in a national convention they will havo to get control of tho party machine at home and through that machinery work up from tho bottom to the top. They aro essentially revolutionists, and be fore tho highest national body in their party will recognize them thoy must,bo successful revolutionists. It is to be assumed that their ablo leaders understand this and are going to Chicagowitb an ultimato object that will not be defeated by a denial of admission to tho convention. Beliornini; Cuttle. A caso of interest to farmers was be fore a justice of the peace in Beaver Falls, Pa., last Saturday. Certain farm ers wero arretted for sawing the horns off their cattle, tho arrest being made on tho ground that tho farmers had been guilty of cruelty to animals. Much testimony was taken pro and con. The farmers explained that they dehorned tho cattle to keop them from injuring each other and oilier live stock; that tho operation was not cruel, being accomplished in from ten to twenty seconds, and that the animals showed no signs whatever of beins in jured. The defendants wore acquitted and the prosecution had to pay tho costs. domestic animals have no need of their horns and may do a groat deal of mischief with them. The day will como when they will have no horns. Farm ers will dehorn them until they brood tho horns off and savo tho trouble of sawing them off. Kei'obts are so conflicting that it is impossible to tell just what has caused tho outbreak in Berlin. It is a reason able supposition that the absolutist talks of tho young emperor have con tributed to tho situation. Mon do not like to be told that they aro owned body and soul even by their hereditary ruler. The sympathy of tho community goes out to the sufferers by yostorday's flro, honest, energetic, worthy business men. ft is hoped that they maysoon be doing business again. There is also a tender solicitude for tho bravo firemen who were injured in the dischargo of an al ways perilous duty. It seems." only yesterday, so time flies, '.lint Mr. Georgo William Curtis was kicking against tho nomination of Mr. Blaine. Xow ho is in tho noblo army of Anti-Snap Democrats, wearing out his shoes on Ilill. Mr. Curtis in his declining days is an unfortunate politician. If Mr. Cleveland has . any views to communicate with regard to one David Burglar Ilill the press of the country wiliiout regard, to party will be glad to give him as much space as lie may re quire. His privato opinion would bo interesting public reading. Sechetaries Foloeh, Manning and Windoin got too much of tho treasury department, and Secretary Foster, a man of robust physique, has gono abroad for his health. Does tho coun try demand too much of tho secretary of tiie treasury? Tiif. Berlin policeman is a kicker from 'way back who leaves his impres sion on Hie shins of his victim. This may bo better than lnyi'nor-heads open with tho ready club. President lUnnifox may bo supposed to view with entire complacency tho in teresting situation in Now York. It is not casting any deep shadows over tho Hopublican heart. Titrate should bo a relief fund for dis abled firemen and policemen. BREAKFAST BUDGET. It is told of tho late ?ir Gcorgo Airv, tho astronomer rayal of England, that, by reason of his timidity, ho seemed doomed to bo u bachelor for Hfp. An intimato frioud romarked to him ono day: "llavo you oVer observed Miss ?-?'h eyes? Thov have tho property of doublo refraction. "Dear me, that is very odd," ho exclaitnod; "I should liko to aco that: do you think I tnioht ven ture to call?" And call ho did, and begged rormiBsion to oxnmino tho young lady's eyes. The novelty of tho uituaiion may have fascinated him. At any rate ho" begged tho privilege of a second call to look at tho eyes in a clear er light. Tho problem grow so interest ing that he at length name to the con clusion to mako it a life study. Among the recent innovations in Ber lin is a matrimoniul ciub house. It is a large, roomy huildinir, divided into sev eral apartments, in one of which por traits of each woman subscriber are ex hibited with full descriptions of hor ago, talents, fortune, color <?f hair, oycfi,. etc., si/.o of hands and feet and general contour. Thoro is also a brief account of hor life, whothor widow or spinster. Tho bridal veil had its origin in a ploco of cloth which was nnciontly hold over tho brido to conceal her maiden blushes, lu the coso of widows this cuuopv, which was callod tho "care cloth, was considered quito unneces sary. A necosoary portion of tho 'cos tume of an English brido of tho middle ages was a carving kulfo stuck' in hor girdlo. It was tho Chinese who invented tho well known plan of capturing ducks and other water fowl by wading toward them with a basket over tho head and dragging them under water before they know what had caught them by tho legs. An interesting series of experiments wcro recently made by two Swedish astronomers?Lomstrom and Thorn holt. By means of a network of electric cur rents betwven two mountains, they suc ceeded in producing several artificial auroras. In th e In d u s, G a n ges a ml o t h er s t r ea m s are numerous fish eating crocodiles which attain a length of more than twonty feet. Except When near their nests and anxious to defend their eggs they run away from human beings. A recent pamphlet on the railways of LondAi states that thoro are 250 rail way stations within a six mile radius of St. Paul's Cathedral, and 391 within a twolvcfmilo radius of the same center. A remarkable death occurred near Sa vannah, Mo., last week. Mrs. Riggin, the wife of a well-known farmer resid ing near that place, bled to death through the cavity of a dofectivo tooth. With a jack-knife James Ingram, of East Bradford, Pa., has carved on a dog wood cane n fox hunt, with a dozen hounds and -a mounted hunter or two in the chase. Very acceptable mirrors are now be ing made of wood in Germany. Tho wood is treated to a chemical bath, after which it may be polished to shine like silver. PERSONAL POINTS. General 0.0.

Some one recoiitH asked him to explain now lie happened to be a Uepubiican when his environ inent was Democratic. t "I will tell you all about it in a very few word," said lie.
