According to the statements made ^ by the oflicials who visited Wheeling ^ yesterday, attention within the coming OJ months is to be given to improvements ni of great magnitude. It is cheering and gratifying news that among the first fo matters to be attended to is the erec- g( tiou of the new passenger station In this city; we are promised, no further delay ^ in this regard, and the new manage- c( ment fully appreciates the importance lc of the needs. The proposed new bridges ^ and double track between here and t( Cambridge are hut the beginning of a. -v general improvement in this line which tl will result in a double track along the ^ entire system, and make it one of the u best equipped lines in the country. c. Some months since, when the great ,rj deal was made by which the Baltimore 0[ & Ohio road passed into new hands, it was stated that millions of dollars c would bo expended in rehabilitating and .. modernizing the entire system, and this promise, according to all evidence and ^ the statements made here yesterday, is ^ to b._- a realization. That Wheeling will ^ receive a large share of the benefit CJ gowithout saying. For years past aJ the city has been waiting for a new ,l? departure of this sort, feeling how much she was concerned in a progressive pol- ^ IcV. Under the late receivership ^ she felt that her time had come, and it ^ looks wry much as if she Is not to be ^ disappointed, the prospect being even better under the new regime. As the details develop there is to bo no disappointment, for the new man- ^ agement is fully alive to the advantages * Q of the undertaking. This was the in- t], tention from the beginning, and the p programn:? will be carried out. The business an:l commercial interests of "Wheeling are to be congratulated on the outlook. <*. 01 Touching Sympat by. The Register is weeping tears of sympathy for the forces of Agulnaldo, ^ "Whose treachery and foolhardlness brought disaster upon his ignorant fol- ^ lowers. It declares that the American , *o people "read of the awful slaughter of nolvrl coitktah flw.I,. hnl.'? r,r? U rows by our troops with magazine rides arid machine guns with a sense of hor- ^ ror rather than jubilation." "Our soldlers," it says, "must get used to of slaughtering human beings by wholesale and shedding blood in rivers, and ln the American people must get used to ^ reading about it." Then it goes on to ^ say that "General Otis declined to an- j. swer the request for a cessation of hos- .. tilities from the cowed and beaten Fil- ^ pinos." The latter is made the text of ^ a lengthy editorial, in which the point is made that this "brutal" government refused the first offer looking to pacilication. All of which is the merest non- .c, sense and not based on facts. ^ Much as we may pity the deluded followers of the treacherous, ambitious . and brutally selfish Aguinaldo, who relied upon his promises that a victory cl, over the Americans would be easy, and a. placed implicit confidence in his bom- |.( bastic declaration of war against the United States, only to discover how basely they had been betrayed, it j.f should not lie in the mouth of any v American, nor does it. rave right here fJiin the office of a partisan organ, that ;v, the American troops should have quiet- ,v ly rested upon their arms and permitted ,Jri the violation of a truce and a treaty f(} on the p.irt of a conscienceless leader, .... who counts not the lives of the men who blindly confide in him in the prose- nr cution of his personal ambitions. Why does not this lone sympathizer with the cause of Aguinaldo t'lll us ' J what the American command was to (j? do? Just stand quietly and take'the attack, carefully arranged days before and of which they had warning when Aguinaldo "declared war," after hear- ^ ing from his spies In Washington? Probably that is what the military ^ genius of the Register would have done. h 1 It wouldn't have resisted the onslaught 1 <it Agulnaldo's forces, because If. would to nave regarded It an "brutal." It would i G< hav; permitted the FlIlplnoK to ?hooi tli ilov.n our brave men In cold blood and tli lake poFRe.MRlon of Manila and masHaere dl everybody not In nympathy with Aguln- tli a Mo. ni What a pity It Ik that- this country w; Ik ho brutal an not to meet favor with <?r thla alleged American paper. n fji would not liave mattered with our bj neighbor that a Email force of civilized w atlvesr armed only with bo\VB and ar- the nvs, were placed by the Filipinos In to ront ot the main torco armed wJtlj vo, lauHer rifles. It was brutal in our tlo >rces to lire into these deluded victims tei r Agulnaldo's plan to draw lire away m: om his effective forces, but how could an io Americans know that Aguinaldo, th< le "patriot," would be guilty of such lie n infamy? If our neighbor had published the t'\vs from Manila, which appeared yes- n'* rday morning in all the papers except 'nt .self, It might not have declared that ll,: eneral Otis "declined to answer the . quest for a cessation of hostilities." he. onlyUlispateh it published having tiy bearing on the situation was one 1,11 om Washington stating that nothing v2101 loteworthy" had occurred during the :iy. A Manila dispatch stated that Hie report that AguJnaUlo had sent a presentatlve to Manila to arrange for ^ epilation of hostilities is denied at P',f *adqunrtcrs. General Otis says that ^ ) accredited representative has yet ext itered the lines." This found no.place > I he Ueglster's columns, for It would j ive killed the effect of a long editorial car used on the "fake" denounced. 1 In the meantime the government will SOa ,ke care of the situation through our rave soldiers and sailors, and peace ..0l III be re-established. The Philippine y Jestton will be settled as the Cuban nhi lestlon was. Congress will do it, und bri > it successfully. 1 liaso Tl-eason Inhibited. J\? at It will be remembered that some time nee "Coin" Harvey was appointed rai lanclal agent of the Democratic na- mn onal committee (the Bryan wing) by ml1 lialrman Jones to raise funds for the J' ee silver campaign in 1000. The mat- WQ| r was considerable of a mirth-prodclng affair at the time, and since Kfc ion the more Important national ;ents have caused the public to lose ght of the amount of success with ^ hlch "Coin" is metting in his efforts. sj0] lddenly ,amidst all the present excite- ^ ent, there bursts forth a reference anc > Chairman Jones' financial schemes JV > pay Bryan's 1900 expenses, by the emphls Commercial-Appeal. Our *)0', emphls contemporary is a Democratic 0^j gan, but It draws the limit on the tas lanner in which Jones, Harvey, Alt- j; Id. et al. are ralslnir camnalcn funds ma >r next year, when it says of the latest are . heme: ^ "The latest method of the Democratic ivders to raise' a campaign fund by -y >ntracting with I.

This is a cruel exposure made by the ommercial-Appeal. It is base treason > Bryanism, according to the silver cie; emocracy's way of viewing it; rank nraval of free silver, and wholly un ateful to the party organization. The einphb paper is undoubtedly in the S nploy of "the "Wall street sharks," id deserves to be denounced as such, ue coi ; it undoubtedly will be. Why should sol iii Commercial-Appeal interefere with 'I lis business enterprise of the Bryan -morratic managers? Why not boom sjr p_- inuin.ii' .icih.t.iuu ciyur mm neip ?ni ons the cause? True, the Coin-Jones mbination lacked discretion in choos- ult, g the name of a sold standard Demo- tin at to apply to the cigars, hut why An lould the.Commercial-Appeal see lit l0j < parade the fact, and interfere with bni le raising of funds to make Bryan m|' resident? _ wit Time to be Silent. to ] Ticcent occurrences have fully devel- 11 ^ >ed. that those who insisted that the low ilipinos are capable of self-govern- cru en: at present were just a bit pre- l0J ous in* their estimate. Part of the pja rce that attacked the Americans Sut- phr 'day, placed in the advance to draw e away from the properly equipped e(] rces, were uncivilized natives armed wa ith bows and arrows. It is not sur- ^ ising therefore that some of our men an tio were captured were mutilated.
