THE INTELLIGENCER's MATCH
LESS LIE.

TIE REGISTER believes it has located
the champion liar of West Virginia; the
penny-s-hner who mas been maligning and
slandering the fair name of the State with
his kilograms to the four quarters of the
globe, Of the Haifeld-McCoy battles, ven
dettas, mob law, &c. Where, oh where is
he, the public asks all in bated breath? Be
quiet and the REGTTsER will tell you. In
stead Of being in Cincinnati, Parkersburg,
Charleston, or Huntington, be is here,
right here in Wheeling Yes, right in
our very midst, and what is more to
the point be is ia the hteligmeer's
editorial cocklOft II he isn't there he
should be. You ask how the REGIS
TER knoWs this? Listen, it is a short but
plsin story. Yesterdays Iatelligeaeer con-
tanned a halfcolumn lie about "a news
paper deaI' which Mr.. 0. S. Mckinney,
Of FairmO1t, had with the General Mana
ger Of the REGISTER, whereby Mckinney
was to purchase the REGISTER, *, ad
hbitum and ad nauseum. Wien the REG
IsrER tells its readers that there is not
one sciutilla Of fact about the tale, either
near or remote, so far "a it concerns
the REGISTER or its manager, when
Nr Mckinney denies it in another col
umn over bis signature, is it
not justified in claiming that the
lair Of The Ha,dsld-McOoy penny
a-linsr is within the juDgles of the Laieli-
gmce cfics. There is no other cOnclu-
sion, unless there be q case Of non
compos mentis down there in the shape
Of our little friend, Col. Birdie Hart.
Tue REGISTER can only account for his
insanity on the score of business jealousy.
There has been, and it is with pride we
say it, q very decided increase in the pop
ularity of the REGISTER during the pres
ent management The REGISTER regrets
that the Iatsligsncer feels dependent
over it. There must be
something wrong With our neighbOr or it
should show a corresponding Improvement
in business. The city is growing, why
ought not a properly conducted newspaper
grow too2 The REGISTER would suggest
to the IateHgmcsy that instead Of pining
over the REGIsTEB's success, try and get
a move on itself Quis lying about its
neighbors and 20 to work, make a live
newspaper and II due time the public
viii see it and reward It upon its merits.

RRICR,s CHAMPION.
The immaculate Col. Donsvin Has Been
Converted.

The Immaculate Col. Donsvin Has Been
Converted.
COLUMBUS, O., November 30.-One Of
the funny things developed so fer in the
Senatorial contest is the sight of Col. s. X.
Donavin with his coat off working hard in
the interest Of Calvin S. Brice. It was
Donavin who, a little over two years
ago. wrote 3 series of singing letters to
Senator Henry B. Payne, charging him
with having openly bought his seat in the
United States Senate and deploring the
fact that the upper house of the American
Congress was coming TO be composed large
" of moneyed aristocracy. Col. DOns-
vim has met with financial reveIses since
then. His newspaper here was sold by the
Sheriff, and he has since then taken little
part in State politics. His temperance
in the role Of Brice advocate naturally
creates surprise here.
Congressman George E. Seney has Just
entered the Senatorial race. He comes
from Brice's section Of the State, the north
west, but will hardly cut much of figure
in the contest. Brices influence seems to
be l-prevading, and he is likely to be
made the caucus nominee on the first bal
automatically unanimously.

A Number Of His Friends Tender mr
b. L. Beard Surprise.
Last evening, at the Mcclure House, a
very handsome banquet was rendered Mr..
B. L. Beard previous to his departure for
the South, which will take place some
time this week. Mr.. Beard has been for
the past five years the efficient Secretary
OF the American Insurance Company, hut
owing to i'll health he has found it neces-
srry to leave for another climate. He has
made countless warm friends during his
soiouzn in Wheeling, and a number Of
these determined to give him what the
bows call send off, Accordingly all
arrangements we're made and Mr. Beard
was inyeigled into lthe Mcclure House
last evening, where he found the
table lying in wait for him.
a splendid feast Of good things was
served by Col Robt Grant and his corps
Of walters, and it was discussed with avid
ity to the extent Of ten courses.
MIR. B. S. Mcclure efficiently acted as Mas
ter of ceremonies. When the cigars came
remarks were in order and Mr.. Beard, in a
very neat speech, expressed his warm
thanks TO his friends for their kind remem-
brsnce
Then Mr.. Mcclure arose and got in his
work. His speech was q gem Of elOquence
and at the end he pulled e case from his
pocket and presented it to Mr.. Beard. The
case contained handsome gold watch,
with Mr.. Boards initials engraved on
the outside and on the cap the in
scription, "B. L Beard, from boys, Nov
80, 1889" Mr.. Beard was psralyzsd, but
he recovered and warmly thanked the do
nOrs. After few songs and remarks the
congenial party dispersed with many good
wishes for Mr.. Beard in his new home. He
will 90 to Chattanooga, Tenn, during the
week. Those who cOncOcted the scheme
to give their friend a pleasant remem-

A YEARS BUSINESS.

The Very Favorable Showing Made by
Captain Delbrugge's Administration.
Yesterday closed the fiscal year 1889 in
the police department of the city. This
is explained by the fact that the December
business is not settled up with the City
Receiver until after the first of the new
year, aud it has been the custom to carry
the last month of each year over for this
ressoD, making it the first month of the
succeeding twelve.

THE Catholic Mirror: There could
not be stronger evidence of the ef-
fciency of the Catholic parochial schools
than the warfare waged against them
by fanatics. If the public school sys
tenn approaches as close to perfection as
some of its self-appointed champions
make out, what need Is there for any
defense of it? Surely the fact that the
fraction os the population which repre-.
sents the Catholic element (and which,
under the skillful manipulation of in
dustrious Protestant statistlcians, has
ceased to grow maintains schools of its
own at private expense. cannot be con-
strued as menace to the existence Of
this stupendous ''bulwark" Of American
liberty. Catholics haven't got so much
money that they could afford to lavish
it on these parochial schools unless
thoroughly realizing that in doing so
they are contributing substantially to
the moral and material welfare of their
children and their country Catholics
would be delighted to save themselves
the burden of expense connected with
their schools IS their conscience would
permit them. but it will not, and they
shoulder the burded that their devotion
to principle and duty imposes.
