WHEELING. AUGUST /, 1891.
Cardinal Gibbons on tho Indian
Schools.

The interview with Cardinal Gibbons
in the Baltimore Sun, telegraphed to
Yesterdays ISrELLieEScKR, will increase
the high respect in which this eminent
prelate is held by Americans without
regard to religious afFiliation.
While some-not all-of the Catholic
writers who have entered into the con-
troversy are imputing evil motives to
Commissioner Morgan, denouncing as
bigots all who do not agree with them
and generally INDUCING in language the
very opposite of temperate, this wise
and thoughtful man, who stands at the
head OF the Roman Catholic hierarchy
in the United States, administers re-
Duke SO plain and direct that everybody
can understand it.
In calm, temperate, patriotic Ian
guage the cardinal endeavors to reas-
sure tb ose who have seen in the action
of the commissioner a bigoted, intoler-
ant Protestant attempt to wreck the
Catholic Indian schools. Undue i'm
portance, the cardinal says, has been
attached to the controversy; the COM
missioner has taken the step "tor the
more effective expediting Of the bust
nesf Of his department." and the inter-
ests OF the Indians viii not suffer.
The IxTEItIoEScER has been taken to
task for remarking on July %: "The
controversy is between the commits
sioner and the bureau and does not me-
cessarily touch the schools under Cath
lie coutrol." Cardinal Gibbons says: 81
do not see how this change can in any
manner Affect the real interest Of the
Indians, and therefore 1t is much more
benefited by good temper and forbear-
ancc and disposition to waive minor
points than by harsh criticism and in
temperate speech" This is the INTEL
LIGENcER's idea expressed with more
force.
The cardinal says also that the Bureau
Of Catholic Indian Missions has never
obtained for itself or its employees one
cent of the Governments money, has
turned the Treasury checks directly
over to the superintendents OF the
schools and has betrayed its own ex-
penses by private contributions. This
is to the point. 1t disposes effectually
Of the charge that the bureau has made
money out Of its relations with the
schools and the Government.

Washington, Pa, Reporter.
Conestoga is an Indian name. The
Conestoga tribe OF Indians belonged to
tho Iroquois and were n warlike people
inhubitfng Eastern Pennsylvania and
New York. The name lives in history
us the name of q creek and postotlice in
Lancaster county. A large number OF
the old road wagons being made in that
locality, they were called ConestoZa
wagons, name by which they are still
known. The Conestoga wagon hind
wheels were six fee. three inches in
diameter, with tire; front wheels. four
feet, six inches; axle tree, four inches
in diameter at point, and seven inches
in diameter in back box; hub, about
twenty or twenty-five inches in diame-
ter; tires, four inches wide; the wagon
bed was five feet high at the ends, slop-
ing from ends 10 middle, where it was
four and q half feet high. The bed was
called an eighteen-bnrrel.bed, because
eighteen flour barrels would stand side
by side on the bottom Of the bed, and u
load was considered to be forty.six
barrels for ak good horses. From five
TO six tons was considered good load
for six horses on the pike. Many Of the
older men in this county, when young,
were Transfers engaged in driving
teams which were hitched TO Conestoga
wagons, and hauled articles oil commerce
from Baltimore and Wheeling.

WhY Not a Shoe Factory2

Tho shoe manufacturing industry is
shifting, perhaps it would be more ac-
curate to say dividing. The East con-
tinues to show the largest concentra-
ton OF this important industry, but the
West has cut of much OF the market to
which Eastern manufacturers have
hitherto sent their products in large
quantities.
The West has set up in the shoe man
ufacturing business for itself, and its
product is increasing. Beginning, as
most industries do, with tho coarser
grades. the West is doing more and
more in higher grades to the satistac-
ton of its trade. The South also has
made n good start and is not likely to
fall back.
Wheeling is q large boot and shoe
market. Our enterprising iobbing
houses have built up n valuable trade
that they are able to hold it against all
corners. a large part OF the goods in
this line sold in Wheeling could just as
well be made in Wheeling. Portsmouth,
Ohio, has two or three successful shoe
factories Of increasing reputation. Other
towns much smaller than Wheeling
have prosperous enterprises of this
character. Why not Wheeling?
A concern with $1,000 capital could
make good beginning and this would
lead to others. Here is something for
our active business men to think about.
The more varied our industries the bet
ter for the whole community.

AFRAID of a Gun.


Huntington SaN'N'f'TFs
Several days ago there came to this
city man who styled himself DR.. Gum,
giving his address as Chicago. He claims
to be a specialist, and his specialties, to
read the list on his beautiful visiting
card, include all the ills that flesh is
heir to.
The doctor came to the city and in an
unproiessional way began to drum up
trade. He is still here and still after
the sick and ailing.
Not q great deal OF comment would be
raised on the Windy City physicians
actions had he not by supertiuity Of
matrimonial proposals made himself
famous, at least with the fair and frail
portion OF our rapidly increasing popu-
lation.
DIR. Gum has proposed marriage to
thirteen widows OF Huntington and
one in Guyandotte. He makes his
proposition in u plain, business-like
way. He calls on a lady, inquiries ii
she is widow. II she is not he tells
her he can cure her OF anything she
may be suffering from Just at that stage
OF the game. But it she is widow
there is when he works his strong graft.
He says, in effect, his language embel-
lished and adorned to be in keeping
with the subject in hand, that he wants
to marry her. In fact, he would like to
get married at once. The widows have
Invariably turned him down, and his
next spiel is simply to request to be di-
rccted to n widow who is matrimonially
inclined.
So far the doctor has not found his
widow. He is still hunting for her, how
ever, and there is u gambling chance
that therell be n widow less in Hunt
ington, and he'll have to kill no one,
either.
