EYerlnsting Whitewash,

Some years ago, says contempt
rary, the following whiteweeh was
used on the east end of the white
house and is as goud to-day as when
fest applied: Take one-halt bush
eli OF nice unslacked lime; slack it
it with boiling water; cover it dur
ing the process to keep in the
steam. Strain the liquid through a
fine sieve or strasrer and add TO it
a peck of salt previously dissolved
ia warm water, three polt.ds OF
ground rice boiled to a thin paste,
one-half pound OF powdered Span
ish whining and one pound or
clean glue which has beeG.previous
" dissolved by soaking il well, and
then hang il over SLOW fire in a
small kettle within a larger one fill
cd vita water. Add Give gallons Of
hot water TO the mixture, stir it
well and let it stand for few days
covered from dust 1t should be
out on bot and for this purpose it
can be sept IN 8 kettle on q porta-
BILE furnace. IT is said that about q
pint of this mixture viii cover 3
square yard upon the outside of a
house if properly applied. Fine or
coarse brushes may DC used, accord

for many years. There is nothing
of the kind that will compare with
it, either for inside or outside walls.
Buildings or fences covered with il
will take a much longer time to
burn than if they were painted with
oil paint. Colorlng matter may be
put with 1t and made Of any shade
desired. Spanish brown will make
a reddish pink, when stirred in,
more or less deep according to the

For surprising information the ar
ticle in Harper's Magazine for
March, entitled IAN Unknown Ma
tion," is surpassed by none of the
others. It was written by Miss
Anna Laarens Dawes, daughter
OF Senator Dawes, and in style and
matter is most interesting. Indian
territory has commonly been re-
oarded as vast stretch of fertile
country occupied by haif-civilized
tribes Of dirty red men. How false
this notion is, will be seen upon
reading Miss Dawes's story. 1t is
nothing more nor less than the In
dian problem over again. How
long will the thriving civization OF
the Cherokees and other four tribes
last? Do these people. or the occu
eants Oft the other reservations rep
resent the better, the real capabili-
ties of TIE Indian? These and 9th
er questions OF vital interest TO the
Indians and the country, are raised
by this article. A map of the ter
ritory is also given.

West Virginians are in quandary

You are mistaken, we are in no
quandary. There is no disposition
on the part of our people to change
the name of the State. We believe
a fellow named Birdie Hart, who is
a late importation to this State from
somewhere down East, and who is
now one of the editors of the Wheel
ing Intettigencer, has been suggest
ing the changing of the name of
the State, to that of "Kanawha, :"

1t ssems like an editor cannot be

1t seems like an editor cannot be
honest IN his convictions and utter
ances, unless he is pounccd upon by
somo dishonest politician and ac-
cused Of impure motives. We have
no motive but honesty, in conceding
the election of Capt. Smith to Con-
gress in the Fourth District. We
reiterate again that he was fairly
and honestly elected, and has ma
iority of Is on the recount of the
vote. No editor in the District
fought harder for the success of the
Democratic candidate than did the
editor of this paper, and no one
feels more keenly the defeat of
Judge Jackson, than we do. 1t is
humiIiating to be beaten in this dis
trict, where we had reliable ma
'nriiy of at least 500; but it has
bs.n done. We are defeated fairly,
squarely and as honestly as can be
done in elections. The majority is
against us; and thecertifcate should
be given to Capt. Smith. Had we
been the candidate and been beaten
in 50 strong Democratic District
as the Fourth, we would have been
ashamed to have cried fraud" 1t
is babyish.
We know there are some men IN
our party who would keep the GER
tificate from Capt. Smith if they
could, and most of them are to be
found in the city of Parkersburg.
They don't like the honest and
fair course of the REGISTER, in this
particular, and are trying to hound
Us down and to cripple us in party
influence. But, we want to remind
these sShemers that we have never
been a frickster, and they can't drive
us into doing a thing we do not be-
lievc 30 be right. You will never
get us, gentlemen, to help You in
Your tfumpeu-uP scnenne 10 keep
Capt Smith out of his seat in Con-
gress. If you want to read us out
becHnse you cannot boss and control
Us, why, do so to your hearts con-
tent Bat we would like to have
men lecture us on our duty to De-
mOe=acy who have never bolted
Democratic nominations, and sulked
during a whole campaign, or during
a Senatorial fight. We suppose
some OF you can read this between
she lines. Boiling can never be
charged up to us. We are always
loyal to our party and caucus no,ni~
Rces, and always will be. We hope
this Wifi be sufficient to explain our
position

Though the wages of Chicago
steel workers have just been re-
duced-since Harrison's election
they are still higher than in Pitts
burgh. Yet the Chicago steel rail
manufacturers do not hesitate to un-
derbid those of Pittsburgh on big
contract. Campaign talk about tar
iff protection to American labor and
the duty necessary to make up for
the difference in wages here and in
England gets punctured every few
days by the facts. The labor cost
in ton of steel rails continues to
be about 81 more in Pittsburgh than
in England, and the ocean freight
covers that. The duty is SIT, and
the selling price at Chicago, S27,
is just SO more than the price of
rails in England. Raw material
here costs about SIS or Sc a ton more
than in England, and the labor in
that costs 81 of the Sc. The profits
of capital in this country on rails is
SO a ton more than in England, and
on raw material the other So. And
IN the end the workingman pays all
of this profit. This is the protective
feature of the tariff in a nutshell.

Judge Jackson may be defeated
for Congress in the Fourth district,
but his friends, or the friends of
any other candidate, will gain
nothing by bandying charges and
counter-charges of treachery. The
unseemly squabbles which a few
Democratic organs, presumably
representing Democratic leaders,
have engaged in, is not worthy of
the faithful masses of voters who
registered their ballots for the Dem
ocratic nominee.
A word to the wise should be
sufficient. 1t is too late now to
fight our battles, which should have
been fought and settled in the NOM
mating conventions. 1t is too ear
ly yet to throw down challenges, or
name candidates for future contests.
The Democrats of the Fourth dis
trict should first put their house in
order, and when that is done it will
be easy to select leader who will
worthily lead them to victory
Wheeling Register.
We want to drop word in the
ear of our esteemed cotemporary.
1t is this: attend to your own First
district, and let the Fourth district
alone, and you will have all you
want to do for the next two years.
The Democratic editors of the
Fourth district know what they
are doing, and are fully able to take
care of their district and themselves
too.
