THE Wheeling INTELLIGISCER is out
flat-iOOted for Gresham, and says he will
probably get the solid vote OF the West
Virginia delegation. John Frcw, one OF
the delegates, is proprietor oil the n
TELLIGENCER.-ErclldRge.
We've noticed something OF this.
Gresham is a tariff reiormer, We desire
to inform our neighbor, and has the
support Of the free trade" Chicago
Tribune. Which will the ISTELLIGENcEH
have Gresham or the high tariff? II
can't have both.-IHgister.
Why can't it? Our esteemed neigh
Dor with its usual aptitude for blunder'
ing falls into error when it claims that
Judge Gresham is tariff reformcr in
the sense it would like to have Others
believe he is. He is in complete accord
with the Republican party in regard TO
the protective principles it has advo-
Gated. The position Of the Chicago
Tribune was discussed some days ago in
the ISrELMGENcER, and what was said
then was "that eYcnthe Chicago Tribune,
whose free trade heresics have disguised
the Republican party OF the balance Of
the country, and whose criticism OF Mr..
Blaine's Paris reply to Cleyelands mes
sage, has been quoted jubilantly by the
Democratic press, is willing to waive its
objections to Gresham's protection prin'
ciples, and support him because OF his
liability availability, and unassailable re-
cord, and OF the certainty that he can
poll more votes than any other candi'
date, and not only be elected President,
but make tirst-class Executive"
Another thing. The INTELLGENcERdid
not come out "aat-footed" for Gresham,
1t stated that il he was the nominee the
paper would gladly support him, and in
doing this pointed out his many accept
able qualities for the Presidency.

Pittsburgh Chronicle Tsiogrupt.
Our near ncighbor, West Virginia, has
at last awakened to the necessity OF in
ducing capital in money, brains and
Drawn to seek investment in that State,
and has begun to invite attention to the
opportunities offered there for settler
and the investor. This is the direct out
growth OF the somewhat remarkable
convention held at Wheeling few
months ago, made up OF business men
from all parts Of the State-men Of
affairs, who understand the importance
of the questions to be considered. These
men wasted no time in useless discus
sion, but went about the work they had
cut out for themselves in practical way.
They formed Board OF Immigration
and Development, with headquarters in
Wheeling, and invited correspondence
from all who desired to better their con.
dition. Asa result, letters have been re-
ceived in large numbers from all sections
OF the country. People who went West
in the hope OF making their fortunes
and found their surroundings unsatis.
factory there, want to know what the
Panhandle State has to offer them.
Others in the Eastern and Middle States,
tired OF the struggle to secure n mere
subsistence, have also become interest
ed, and it is probable that West Virginia
will have boom in the way OF increased
population and energy that will go far
TO put her fur on the road to equality
with herolder sisters. Give her her fair
share Of the surplus population and her
forests and fields and mines and oil
territory will be made to yield their
wealth, and add to the prosperity of the
country ut large. West Virginia has
natural resources OF almost boundless
value; railroads are being built to con-
meet all the chief centers OF population +;
the country roads are being improved
and kept in good order; the climate is
salubri0us; there are good markets near
ut hand for the products OF mine, field
and factory, and there is no reason why
all these things should not be made the
most OF.

The American People, new friend to
protection in the journalistic world,
published at Pittsburgh, in discussing
the effect OF the passage Of the Mills bill
asks: 'How was it in free trade times?
Young men OF to-day know nothing OF
this. Ask the older men OF the mills
and workshops OF America, and they
will tell you that in free trade times
they were idle from thirty to forty days
out of every one hundred days. And
more. They will tell you that wages
were from fifteen to thirty-five per cent
lower; that competition faced them at
every turn; that there were but few
mills to work; that it was very useless to
travel for employment; that they lived
under form OF industrial slavery, from
which they could not extricatc them
selves.
In the face OF all these facts, the
American people aro asked to consent to
breaking up Of their industrial system;
to open their ports to the products of
foreign labor; to place themselves at the
mercy Of British capital and British COM
petition.
This scheme is more threatening to
the peace and power and prosperity of
our government than were the belching
cannon Of the rebeldom in Charleston
harbor.

ouished? Can they believe that sys-
tenn will be tolerated on this soil which,
a generation or two ago, turned the fer
tile cotton fields of the South into
comparative desert?
"Perhaps another contest is to be
fought. Possibly it is necessary for our
future development that We should be
forced to taste the dregs Of despair in the
cup OF poverty. II so, let the Mills bill
pass, and then bend your eartoward the

Mr.. Depew made n little dinner table
speech in Detroit night or two ago,
and Us usual spoke well. From among
the witty things he said, we extract
these:

broad Atlantic, and you will hear the
grandest jubilatipn of Britain's people
that ever burst from their Rps since the
news came that Napoleon was defeated
at Waterloo, for they will then see and
know that once more we are theirs, and
that the surrender Of CORVALLIS to
Washington has been re-enacted in 1888
by the surrender by the American Con-
gress to Great Britain Of American In
dustrial Independence"
In this connection the failure OF a
large borax producing firm in California
is mentioned, caused by the fact that
the Mills bill puts borax on the free list.
Before borax was produced in this coun-
try the price of the article had never
been below IS cents a pound. In the
present tariff law the duty is Sc per
pound on crude borax, and sc on refined.
The present price OF borax in the New
York market, as quoted by the Oil, Paint
and Drug Reporter, is: Refined, slaslc
per pound; concentrated, 7!o7lc; pow
dered, 7!asc.
"If the duty Of sc per pound on refined
borax brought down the price from Csc
per pound to slc, as it apparently did,
Congress made a good strike for the peo-
pie when II imposed the duty-we mean,
OF course, the American people. In this
case, it is very plain to the dullest com.
prehension that the people-the Ameri-
can people-don't pay the duty, and this
case is a fair example of about all cases
that come under tariff legislation.
American competition, created and sus-
tanned by protection, knocks out foreign
monopoly and extortionate prices every
time. We feel quite sure that the most
industrious free trader cannot find sim
gle well-defnedexception to this bened-
cent effect of iudicious protection to
American industries"

TIE Register rises to remark that the
trip OF the editor OF the INTELLIdENcER
to Maine was a useless piece ofbusincss.
The ISTRLLIGENCER regrets that the acts
of its editor does not meet with the APP
proval OF the esteemed Register, but will
try and survive the disappointment. 1t
is possible, as the Register says, that
much of the desired information might
have been "iakcd' from the reports OF
others, but the editor OF the lSTELLI-
dExcER preferred to attend to the mat
ter in his own way.

THE BLAINE BOOM
A Case without Parallel in our Political
History. M

History. y
NoS York World.
George William Curtis's interesting
opinion, expressed in the World inter
view, that Mr.. Blaine is probably the
most popular man in the United States
to-day" seems to be based upon the POI
litical developments Of the past six
months and confirmed by the extraor-
binary situation within the Republican
party.
1t is an extraordinary fact that a man
without power or patronage, absent from
the country, having withdrawn his name
from consideration as Presidential can
didate and left the field open to numer-
Gus active rival aspirants, should be to-
day the unquestioned choice OF Il vast
majority Of his party and positively sure
OF the nomination il he will accept it.
Such an instance Of personal popularity
is without parallel in the history Of
American politics.
But, paradox as it may seem, MIR.
Blaine's political enemies, and notably
Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Curtis, have
largely contributed to Mr.. Blaine's pros
pective nomination.
When President Cleveland in his an.
nual message forced the issue OF tariff
reform, Mr.. Blaine became at once as
logically the candidate OF the Projections
ist Republicans Us Mr.. Cleveland him.
self became by that act the inevitable
candidate OF the Democrats.
Mr.. Blaine instinctivcly recognized
this in his immediate reply from Paris
to the Presidents message. He is as
prominently the champion OF per,
petual high tariff as Mr.. Cleveland is the
champion OF lower tariff. With one
burning issue for the campaign, the logic
of the situation seemed to suggest the
nomination OF the two men who most
perfectly represented the conflicting
ideas and divergent policies underneath
this issue.
Hence Cleveland, and hence Blaine:'
This result might possibly have been
different, in view of Blainc's hesitation
to stand again and of his defeat foul
yours ago, had the Independent and the
mugwump voters shown a disposition tc
support any Republican except Blaine
But with noprominent exception these
voters and their newspaper organs, swal
lowing their disappointment in the Pres
ident us n Civil Service Reiormer, gave
him their unqualified support for re
election. The Republican managers
compelled thus to look for recruits else
where, naturally remembered Mr.
Blaincs inroads on the Irish vote in
1854, his complete Identification with
the protected interests and his great
personal popularity. The personal
charges OF the last canvass are burnt
powder" And so the mugwumps' al
fusion to the personal fortunes Of the
President whom they helped to elect in
1891 has contributed to render it prob
able that it will be the old fight ovel
again.
Mr.. Blaine will be nominated by {
roar OF reclamation ut Chicago. The only
remaining question is, Will he decline
The indications do not point that way

A stranger was riding in Fall River county, Dakota Territory, when he met small boy returning from school in the forenoon.
 "What are you going home fer ot this time of day?" he asked.
 "No school today"
 Why not?"

 "Oh, he's gone with the other boys"
 "What after?"

 "Alec Fiddler?"
