Mr.. Gibson and "Slsscr KILN" Once More.
At last We begin TO appreciate the point
OF difference between the Richmond
Dispuich and the ISrELLlGEScER. The
Dispatch quotes from Mr.. Eustacc Glib
sons revised version Of his Washington
"nigscr kiln intervicwin which he says
"ny reference was entirely to unknown
or imported negroes" The Dispatch ac-
cepts Mr.. Gibson's word rs final. The IL.
TELLIGEScEE doesn't.
Mr.. Gibson, seeing that lie had made n
mistake and rushed into print, at time
when the Cincinnati Enquirer advised him
to put liver-pad on his mouth, is just the
kind OF man to try to wrigglc out OF an
ugly place. In this one matter OF i'm
porting negroes Mr.. Gibson has shown
that he is man whose word is no. worth
4 hundred cents on the dollar, though it
may be quite rs good as his bond. He
said it was true that negroes were being
imported into West Virginia. In met it
was untrue, as the Dispatch is good enough
to admit.
The charge was so serious that no citi-
zen OF West Virginia, Congressman least
OF all, should have endorsed it without
knowing what he was talking about. Mr..
Gibson thought it 4 good story though it
were not true, and he is not nice in his po-
litical methods. He was in Washington
in search OF ..hclp," which he greatly
needs, and it suited his purpose to show
that in this State Democratic nominees
confront dishonest men determined to
achieve victory though it bcnccessary to
resort to shameless fraud
The Dispatch seems 10 regard Mr.. Glib
son as man OF character SO high that he
could not misrcprcscnt. That is not his
reputation in West Virginia. He is OF
the desperate sort OF politicians who hold
that the end justitlcs the means. Happily
such good friends as the Dispatch and the
lNTELLlGEScER are not likely to fall to hair
pulling on account Of q politician OF Mr..
Eustace Gibson's stamp.

The Arrnlrni,,cnt OF II pnrty.

An exchange makes the fine point, in
answer to criticism, that Mr.. George Will
liam Curtis now famous arraignmcnt Of
the Democratic party was made bcfore he
declared himself "by tie grace OF God, a
Republican and n free man." Mr.. Curtis
delivered himself OF that touchin: scnti-
ment at the morning session OF the
Chicago Convention, June I, speak.
ing to the resolution OF Mr.. Hawkins,
OF Tennessee, binding every member OF
the convention to support its nominee. Ii
was at the evening session, June 5, that
Mr.. Curtis paid his compliments to the
Democratic party. lie was about midway
in his speech when he broke out with
this: 81
We are confronted with the Democratic
party, very hungry, and, rs you may well
believe, very thirsty; a party without any
distinct National policy, which it lares to
presentto the country a"party which fell
from power as d conspiracy against human
rights, and now attempts to sneak back to
power as u conspiracy for plumber and
spoils. iff a St '!.4 d g5
The consideration OF real importance is
not the time but the fact. Ii what Mr..
Curtis said OF tho Democratic party was
true, it was rs true ut one stage OF the con
vention's proceedings as ut another. Ifit
was true then it is true NOW. The Demo.
cratic party is no less hungry and thirsty
now than then. If it ''fcll from power rs
u conspiracy against human rights" that is
fixed fact in history, and the chapter
was written by its own hand. ii ut the
time OF the convention it was attempting
ito sneak back to power rs d conspiracy
for plumber and spoils," it is up to the
same trick now. Certainly it has not dis
covered since the Republican convention
ANY distinct National policy which it
dares to present to the country and it
has not invented "a single definite prin-
ciplc." rs ( HI d s. % .yj55

HORSE NOTES.

The horse ranching interests are steadi-
ly growing in the West. Many new
ranches have been started this season.
It is said that horse on Long Island
will catch all the clickens;tl,at come with.
in his reach, and eat feathers and all with
u relish. E,
Don't forget to salt your horses regular.
", especially those that are now out on
pasture. Weekly or semi-wcekly visits
should be made to the pasture fields and
it will be no trouble to take little salt
with you for the stock. They will relish
it, and twill do them good. N s
The horse markets throughout tho coun.
try are very quiet and dull just now. But
few horses arc being put upon the market,
and the demand is corrcspondingly light.
Prices are slightly lower than they were
earlier in the summer, except for good
horses for special purposes. No change
can be expected until the regular fall trade

Chandler on Clerks.

Washington, February 2.-Secretary
Chandler said to-day hat the examina-
tion of papers Of persons, certified to
him by the civil service commission,
satisfied him that all OF them are unfit
ted for the work to be done, for the
reason that they arc deficient In PEN
manship, copying and photography.
He returned the papers to the commits
sion with a simple statement to that
effect. BE did not wish his action to
be understood as an attack on the civil
service law, as he had no intention Of
attacking that law. He was strongly
In favor Of the civil service act, but
did not feel that Its provisions COM
PEELED him to accept a clerk whom he
considered incompetent. He would
rather have a vacancy In his clerical
force than appoint a man whose examl-
nation papers showed him unable to
meet the requirments. He had re-
ferred the matter back to the commits
sion in the hope that they would send
him the names Of more competant men
to select from, but he would, however,
be bound by the action Of the commits
sion in the matter.

Deadly Gasoline.

Alliance, Ohio, February g. The
city has been crowded all day with
people from the surrounding country
to see the wreck made by the ex-
plosion.
Al the coroner's inquest it was de-
Teioped that Orr kept gasoline in an air
tight galvanized iron tank for custo-
mers. About a gallon ran out on the
floor. The fluid was wiped up by Orr
and he had turned to other affairs. The
gas was generated by tho gasoline and
ignited the tank. which contained not
more than half a barrel of liquid.
OF the wounded, Charles Haden and
John Corey, of Durese s. Benedicts
miustrels are the most seriously in
jured. They will be taken to the Sis
tiers of Charity hospital in Canton.
The circumstance which has excited
most comment Is that the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union appointed
yesterday afternoon, but some trihing
matter prompted them to postpone 1t
until Saturday. Had the ladies met as
FIRST arranged, the catastrophe would
have been still more calamitous. An
offensive odor Of burned flesh is still
%perceptible about the wreck, which
suggests that all the bodies have not
all been recovered, but nobody is
missed.
An eye witness states that when the
explosion occurred the entire building
seemed lifted into the air and rent
apart, falling back into a cloud of dust,
scarcely one brick clinging to another.

victim has relapsed and the attending
physicians have abandoned all hope Of

scious to state that it was a black man

High License in Chicago.

Chicago, February 2.-The Harper
high license law, a state enactment
which fixes the minimum Of license for
selling malt liquors within the limits of
the state at $3.50 a year, and for selling
spirituous liquors, $500, will be in effect
in this city after April l.. In view of
the general belief that many of the $3.50
licences will be used as a cover for the
sale of spirituous liquors, the public
sentiment is being worked up in favor
of a uniform $500 license.
A canvass of the voting strength of
the council shows twenty-five in favor
of the high uniform license, fourteen
for a graded license. The mayor
favors the graded license, but If the
council estimate is correct the ordi-
nance can be adopted over a possible
veto.

The Bankruptcy Bill.

Washington, February 1.-THE SEN
ate committee on judiciary ordered the
Lowell bankruptcy bill to be favorably
reported with the amendments. 1t
preserves the state exemptions and au-
thorizes involuntary proceeding
only against persons whose debts
amount to more than $1,000 and only
against traders. 1t diminishes the
number of commissioners in bank
ruptcy oneIhalf. Many of the amend
ments were suggested by the bank
ruptcy convention, which met here q
few days since and were Incorporated
in the bill. Senator Hoar will report ii
Monday. Some Of the features of the
bill are among those commended for by
western senator's last session and Their
adoption greatly increases the chances
of its passage.
