A BASE LIE,

Knowingly and Msliclously Published, for
Political Purposes.
The Republicans are being driven to
desperate measures.
In their campaign of desperation, they
seem to hesitate at nothing which, in their
estimation, can aid them in hoodwiuking
the voters into returning them to power.
Abundant illustration of this was fur
nished in the LnteHigencer of yesterday.
1t is safe to say that no more despicsble
political lie was ever brought into the
world, that the assertion, directly made
in that journal, that DR.. Whitson was
brought to Wheeling "by the Democratic
managers" and "smuggled into q church"
in order that he might express his political
views
OF course, no sane or sensible person was
expected TO believe the rot thus given to
the world by the local organ of the party
of moral ideas" but little thing like
that would not deter the InteHgencer from
intlicting it's Misrepresentation upon the
people, if there was any chance ut all OF
thereby bolstering ND their failing cause.
A REGISTER reporter yesterday met DIR.
Whi'sOn, and said:
doctor, you are fatty charged by the
IateLligenctr with having bsen brought
here, for the purpose of making q political
speech, by Democratic managers Is this
sop
"There ia not one word of truth in the
story. / came here to Wheeling entirely
of my own volition."
Ibid you have any correspondence or
verbal interview with any one, in any
other city, with reference to visit to be
made by you TO Wheelipg"
"Never."
"Did any one, knowing you were to
come here, make any suggestions to you
regarding your address, or advise you to
introduce the subject of politics."
"No, SIR"
CATER you arrived here, were You ever
approached by local Democrats, with the
suggestion that politics be introduced into
your lecture ?"
mo, sir. :"
'How did You come to touch on polite
al matters?"
"It's the most natural thing in the
world. The subject Of my lecture was

has quite rs much to do with the future
progress of the colored race "a religion or
anything else, and / had, therefore, a
right to introduce the matter into my re-
marks did 90 from a free exercise of
my judgment, and withouts suggestion
from any one, in any quarter. When /
came here at once called upon the Catho-
lie authorities, and laid my plans before
them, at the same time giving my reasons
for desiring tospeak in the basement Of the
st. Alphonsus building. My arguments
were esteemed good, and permission was
granted. Any assertion or intimation that
1 was actuated by any but the best mo-
tives, having in view the advancement of
the colored race, and the success Of my
paper, ia fslsehO0d. 1t would he fine
! thing for me to come here to endeayor to
build up my paper, and then jump into
political matters, and make q host of en-
mics at the outset

THE "INTKILIGs NCER's" LIE.
4 Correspondent Calls Attention to
wtlIful Recommendations

4 Correspondent Calls Attention to the
wilIful Misrepresentation.
To the Editor Of The Register:
In the InteHiqencer's issue of Monday
and Tuesday DR.. Whitson was represented
az giving lecture in st. AlphOnsus'
Catholic Church, and as being an instru-
meut in the hands of the Democratic peli-
ticisns of the State. Now, the htelligencer
either willfully misrepresented facts or did
not take the trouble to find out the nature
of the place in which the lecture was held.
The Doctor did not speak in St. Aiphon.
sus' Church. He spoke in public hall
under the church, and here no religious
services take place 1t is hall in which
societies meet to transact their business and
in it also are held public entertainments
What room is there then for the InteiH-
Qeaeer's cry about the dissertation of
sacred place? As regards the introduction
of politics, the Inteiiigencer asserts that
the Doctor was an instrument in the hands
of the politicians of this State. What
was the DOCTORS SUBJECT? 1t was
Grace Progress" Feeling then the neces-
sity under which the colored people were of
dividing on the question Of politics, the
Doctor thought it pertinent to his subject
to touch upon this field. All who know
the Doctor, or have had any dealings with
him whatever, are astounded at the fierce
attack on his character. He is known as O
man Ct honor and integrity, and incapable
of STOPPING to any mean act.

Economy of Food.
From Good Housckeeping

From Good Housekeeping.
The American housewife gets rather severe in
dlctment from Professor H. o. Atwater in his adj
dress beforeI the American association for the Adj
vanceTnent Of Science on 1.-The Physiological and
Pecuniary Economy OF Food" Taking the world
through, he says, the mass of people select foods
which analysis shows to urn sh actual nutrients at
the lowest cost But the people of the United States
he continues, eyince marked exception. Many
even among those who desire to economics, use
needlessy expensive kinds of food. They endeayor
TO make their diet attractive by paying high prices
rather than by skiu6lly cooking and tasefully
serving. Then, too, they are more wasteful es
pecially the wives of workngmen. An inexplicable
Eensitveness upon this point exists among working
men. The best the market affords alone is good
enough for them, and by their constant demand for
what they wrongly consider the choice cuts of
meat they maintain the present high prices The
wasteluness of tic American with his food as com
pared with the European, has leen the observation
Of every one who has Travelled enough to notice it.
One Of the missions Of Good Housekeeping is to pro-
mote domestic economy, not in imitation Of Euro
pean practices, but in accordance with the expert
enee and investigations of the most intelligent and
sensible housewives of this country and to show
that economy may be and is respectable.
Professor Atwater also had a word to say about
overeating. 1t is his opinion that this is a source
of more disease than any other thing and that
does more harm to health than even the drinking
habit. 1t must be admitted, however in defence Of
the average person that while all this study to make
delicious food is going on among housewives, no
one who loves the good things OF life can easily
restrain himself from eating more than he actually
needs The man who nowadays follows Benjamin
Franklin's practice Of getting up from the table
hungry must have an unusual degree Of selfdenial,
or his food must be scanty unpalatable II would
he interesting to note what sort ola table Franklin
eat down to- we venture to say that the person Of
the present day would DC glad 20 arise from it when

Exchange,

A missionary to the dark continent narrates some of his tribulations while learning the native language His first efforts with interpreters W ere quite useless, he says, because the poor fellows were trying to adapt their language to the European capac- ity! But they were certainly bright enough in some respects.
 I had begun to hold conversations with the natives in their own tongue about six weeks after my arrival. but 1 often got information exactly simi- lar to what Mfr. P,ckWick got from his cabman. When a native sees a person noting down anything, he makes up his mind to say something worth nothing!
 So much did I feel this that at one time l endeavored to keep my book out of sight. One method was to have pencil in my hand which pre- tended to be playing with. thus got down some new words on my thumb nail, and was begin ming to congratulate myself on the success of my stratagem; but about ten minutes after another man ap- preached the group, when one of my friends hailed him:
 "Come here and talk with the white man. He is writing on hii fingers. He has written three new things already"
 The trick was useless. Not only had they seen it all, but they could tell how many words I had written, and great was the laughter as the newcomer examined the guilty thumb nail.
