Peasants county Epglishman and author
of tariff tract, was at the Mcclure House
yesterday"
A prominent gentleman said 10 rep
resentative of the REGISTER: ''It is in
keeping with the Inteliigencer's usual parti-
san folly to impeach the honor and
patriotism of such man as r. H. Browse.
he does well in refusing to notice its
abuse, and yet it should not be allowed to
90 unanswered.
"Mr. Browse is native born American,
rs the Intelligeneer's reporter must
well know, and he has been an American
voter ever since he came of legal age.
he owns q large farm in Peasants, and
has been farmer and stock fraser all his
his life. I believe he also served his
State as q member of the Legislature.
His father came to America nearly sixty
years ago, was q naturalizsd citizen and
one of the leading business men Of this
section of the State.
Another thing: Every dollar OF Mr..
Rrowse's fortune Is invested in West Vir-
ginia. He has kept his money right here
to aid in developing West Virginia's nat
ural wealth, and few men in the State
have done more than he has in that direc-
ton. He is o stakeholder in the Ohio
River Railroad, and TO his efforts the
building of that road and the development
of the rich territory it runs through are
largely due. He is also interested
in industries in the vicinity of st. Marys,
and give employment to q large number
of workmen. II Mr.. Browse is an Eng
lishman, West Virginia wants thousands
more Just such Euglishmen-men,b born
aud raised on West Virginia soil, and who
have devoted their time and strength to
build mp West Virginia's wealth. Mr..
Browse certainly has right, if any man
has, to discuss the tariff question, and he
il entitled to fair and gentlemanly treat
ment at the hands of his opponents.
THE InteHigeneer's assault upon him is
in glsring contrast with the REGISTERS
treatment of Mr.. E NJ. Pearson, manager OF
the Wheeling Pottery, short time ago.
Mr. Pearson is an Englishman born, al
though o naturalized citizen. He rushed
into print as an assailaDt Of the REGISTER
and the Mills bill His aid was gladly
welcomed by the IRteltigeneer;; yet during
the whole controversy not one reference
was made by the REGISTER to Mr.. Pear
sons English birth or the length of time
he had been o native of this country. No
personal assault was made upon him, and
he was treated with all the fairness and
consideration due gentleman.
Probably it is expecting too much OF
the IateHigeaeer to be honest with an
opponent. Its usual resort when defeated
in argument is personal vituperation. But
when it turns its mud batteries loose on
such mao as Mr.. Browse, it is time for
men who love decency and fair play in
politics to protest."

A BAD BREAK.
THE "INrRLLIGBNCER'S" wILPUL FALSE
HOODS CONCERNING DR.. WINSTON.
As Fine an Example Of the Campaign Lie, Is One
Could Wish 10 See Indignation Among
Catholics at the Tactics Of
the Paper.

The persistent and unseemly manner in
which the Intelligeaeer has sought to make
capital for it's high-tax cause, by dragging
the st. Alphonsus Church, and Catholicism
generally, into partisan politics, and the
unblushing and unhesitating way in which
il has piled falsehood on exaggerstion, and
both ON Misrepresentation, in order to give
some degree of plsusibility to its efforts, is
beginning to have its legitimate effect in
arousing the indignation of Catholics all
over the city, and the journal named will
soon find itself in the midst of storm OF
its own creation, unless change OF tactics
ayerts the wrath of those whose Church
has been, with apparently, malicious in
tent, dragged into the political arena. As
an example of what the Catholic authorities
think of the Intelligeacer and its peculiar
methods, the following statement is given:
81 wish, ;" said K v. Father McEuigott,
Yesterday, lyon would say through the
REGISTER that the IRteligencer's effort to
have it appear the lecture of DIR. Whit
SON was delivered in st. Alphonsus
Church, is untrue. The lecture was
not delivered in that part of the building
used for religious purposes, all services OF
whatever description being held up stairs
Even had Dr.. Whitson done all the lnteih-
qencer would have the people believe, there
would have been no occasion for such per-
sistent coupling of the name of st. Alphon-
ans. and Catholicism generally, with the
matter. The Intelligeneer ia making q
bigger blunder than it accuses DIR. Whit
son of psrpetrating. The Doctor. to
nv notion, did not do so bad
On the contrary, think he did
very we'll, taking all the facts into con.
sideration. The Mtehigencer's talk about
his being in Democratic employ makes no
impression on sensible people. His polit-
ical references were. at the most, an error
of Judgment, and have no idea that he
had any premeditated intention OF making
politics any part of his remarks. You see,
he went to the church expecting to see
large attendance of colored people. On the
contrary, he found himself face to face
with a large and intelligent white audi
snce, and he meSmbarrassed and con-
fused. think he got onto politics with
out intending it. He made several mis-
takes in reg ,rd to matters of Catholicity.
but, as l hsye said, on the whole he did
very well"

Abont Those GlnghAms.

''I see the IRteLligeReer in attempting to
deceive its readers has put its foot in 1t,
- usual" remarked o merchant to q
REGISTER man yesterday.
"what particular foot do you refer to
this timer" asked the reporter.
~ refer to the question Of the reduction
of the tax on ginghsms. They 20 on TO
quote a Democratic merchant as saying
that if the tax were reduced ~ proposed

be, a. heretofore, dependent upon foreign
makers for that line of goodsn Now let us

difference in price of from III
to 80 cents in favor Of the American
product. The proposed reduction is 6
cents on s yards OF gingham, which is u
reduction of IL cents per yard. Now let
NE ask what effect this II cents per yard
would have on the ginghsms Of American
manufacture? Ii this proposed reduction
would allow the imported goods to come
in ut less price than the American goods
sell at they might have a point to go on,
bat you see the difference between the
lowest price of the imported article with
the II cents taken off and the price Of the
American article Is 81 cents, which leaves
that amount Of protection. In fact, the
proposed reduction is 80 small that the
American manufacturer will hardly notice
il, and while to the consumer the saving

thing, yet it is in the general line
of reduction of the taxes,
and in the aggregate il will amount to q

the manufacturer of American ginghams

that in the past several years not one piece
Of French bingham has been sold in this
country to fifty pieces OF American ging-
1am. The Iatelhgeaeer's merchant speaks
about French zephyr gingham and says
the Slate Cotton Company proposes TO
manufacture line equal in all respects TO
those imported at rs low a price. This Is
merely an assertion, and there Is no
proof that this company cannot manu-
lscture goods at q much lower price
than the French article with
the tax added. Then are sixty
millions of people to be taxed to
give one manufacturer an opportunity to
put q certain line of goods on the market,
and line TOO that is seldom purchased by
the working classes? As the Lnteiiigeneer's
manufacturer truly says: The ginehams
made in this country are good enough for
anybody, but if people can afford to pay a
higher price for something that pleases
their fancy better, why not let them pay
the expenses of rupning the country rather
than the people who are satisfied to wear
home ginghamsn

SellOut.
WHEELING, W. VA, July 30.
To he Editor Of he REGISTER:
SIR:-We notice that the Ntlps' Letter, In
its reply to "Wageworker, fails to deny
the charge that it has sold out to syndi'
cate of Republicans. II calls itself an In
dependent newspaper, and says that 1t is
influenced in its attacks upon the Democ'
racy by the course of the Democratic party
with reference TO the tariff. These state
ments are lies-willful lies-and the au-
thor of the editorial knew when he uttered
them that liz was deliberately lying to and
deceiviDg his readers.
The paper has sold itself and its opin-
ions for gold. There may have been a
time when it was an independent and
labor paper, but that time has passed
away. 1t il now controlled by syndi-
cate of Republican politicians and capi-
talists who have bought it's opinions and
principles, if it ever had any. If the
laboring people believe that a paper man
aged BY few Republican bosses is their
organ, they are welcome to the belief. In
our opinion laboring people believe that
this paper is q sink of fraud and cor
ruption, that it is a bitter
enemy of labor and that it is for sale to the
highest bidder. 1t is well known that it
first tried to sell itself to the Democrats,
who would have none oft. 1t then made
a sale to the Republicans. 1t now breaches
about principle, honor, tariff and free
trade" There is not laboring man in
Ohio county to be taken in by any such
chat, and there is not one who does IN
derstand corrupt and shameless barter
and sale when it almost goes on under his
own eyes. 1t talks about standing for the
rights of labor. It is simply standing for
the pockets and political advancement of
the Republican capitalists, bosses and mo-
nopolists who control it and who bought it
for gold. So far as it cares labor may go
to the dogs, or beg and starye, and there is
not a laboriug man in Ohio county but
what has found it ont.

however. was in another part of the town,

what's Wrong With the Water Supply

To tN Editor o. me Reglster:
SIR: What's the matter with the city
water supply? Yesterday was the third
time within q few weeks that the reser-
yoir about run dry, there scarcely being
enough water in it to cover the bottom OF
the enclosure. People on high ground
have suffered very much from this cause
lately, and aside from this, the city is run
ming a big risk in case of fire. If the
pumps are unequal to the work imposed
upon them, or are disposed to break down,
an effort should be made to save enough
water to meet any possible emergency
from fire that may arise.
This matter is important enough to
merit attention. CONSUMER.
