Did Columbus Discover the COnti'
nent?

The question has in recent times
been asked it is very improbable
question-whether on his third and
fourth voyages Columbus really set
foot on the continent of America.
There can, of course, be no question
about The first two voyages: he did not
even get within sight of the coast. But
here we have a perfectly definite state
ment: 1.-TWO Indians carried me to
Carambaru." He went on to the
southern limits of the present state of
Costa Rica, and there, in the island
studded Bay of Chiriqui, he heard the
first tidings of the great ocean. The
account was indistinct enough, but it
confirmed him in his opinion that he
had reached the Golden Chersonesus,
and that the sea on the western side
must be Gin modern phrase) the Bay
of Bengal. He was seeking for cham
mel by which he might make his way
into this sea. The coast abounds in
gold. 1t received the name of Vera
gpa after the Indian tribe who dwelt
there. The name is interesting, be-
cause it was borne by the descendants
of Columbus, the Dukes of Veragua.
In this case again Columbus did not
see the consequences of his geograph-
icaI error. If, as h : believed, he was,
at the most, ten days journey from
the mouth of the Ganges; if, as all his
authorities agreed, he was on the
Golden Chersonesus, halfway around
the globe-then the earth could not
possibly have so large circumference
as up to that time had been supposed.
He had already sailed half round it,
and the direct voyage could be made
from Spain in four or five weeks. But
he did not hesitate to complete the
geographical structure which his i'm
aglnation had raised. From Jamaica
he writes to the King and Queen, "The
earth is not SO large as is generally
supposed. ."-Dr. S. Ruge, IN Harper's
Magazine.

NInke.RoIleye Indignation.

With regard to the Democratic nomi.
nee for sheriff the Register remarks that
"the INrELLoEScER's campaign OF
utilization should be resented" The
Rsgisler, which knows all the facts,
should have shown its resentment by
vindicating the Democratic nominee for
sheriff If it could find vindication in
the facts. The failure OF the Register
party to 90 on with its vindication has
convinced every intelligent man in the
community who needed to be convinced
that the charges are entirely true. The
Register and the rest OF them do not care
anything about the truth OF the charges.
II they were ten times as grave, the
Democratic nominee for sheriff would
lose no support from the hide-bound
partisians who are trying to elect him.
Up to this point they have not sue
ceeded.

A Good CItizen,s Duty.

1t is the privilege and duty OF every
citizen to do all he can for the success
Of the party in whose principles he be-
lieves. This he ought to do before
election day, and on election day, TAX
ing all the fair advantage he can for
his own side.
At the polls no should meet his
neighbor OF the other party as good
neighbors should always meet in a
kind and friendly way, cheerfully ac-
cording to every other man all that he
demands for himself. A good citizen
may be the strongest OF partisans, and
the more he believes in his own party
the less he should be willing to see it
suffer in the public esteem by any law
less act of his own or by his connivance
or assent
The good citizens will DO at the polls
to-day, needing no police force to keen
him in order and exerting all his infu'
ance to keep his friends in order.
We want fair election all through
West Virginia. This is OF the highest
moment to every citizen Of the state be
cause it touches closely the honorOf the
state before the world

Tint County Will Give Her Old Time Re.
nublican Minority.

That County Will Give Her Old Time Re-
publican Majority.
There has been much speculation as
to Belmont county, Ohio, on this cleo
ton. Recognizing the fact that few
persons have been mislead as to the
cause of tho real and imaginary griev-
ances the Democratic managers haye
made it appear like mountain,
whereas very small mole hill only is
apparent, and it may be depended
upon that old Belmont will roll up full
800 for President Harrison and hun
dred more for Colonel Poorman, the
candidate for Congress; and it can be
counted almost as safely that the re-
suit will carry through every man on
the county ticket, thus making clean
sweep.
The result on the chief offices will
not be because OF any great work, but
will be the calm, deliberate judgment
Of the voters OF the county. On the
local candidates the result will vary,
according to the personal features that
always enter such cauvasses; but it is
morally certain that the sheriff, clerk,
commissioner and other county officers
will be elected. Sheriff Scott will lead
the pluralities, with Colonel Poorman
close up, Notwithstanding the vigorous
contest on the CONGRESSMAN.

Too RlIndto See.

The Register seeks to make its readers
believe that the INTELLrGENcER has
dealt unfairly by Mr.. Johnson, the
Democratic nominee for auditor. 1t
pleases the Register to say "that the IN
rELLIaENcgR rests silently under the
charge not only Of deliberate falsehood,
but forgery" When Mr.. Johnson tele-
graphed to the INTKLLleEScER that he
was not the author Of the letter credited
to him, the INTELLIGENCE printed the
telegram the next morning, and in the
same connection accepted his denial as
conclusive. The Register must have seen
this, because it had reason to look for
it. But it makes no difference to the
Register. 1t has embarked upon a career
OF romancing, and honesty or fairness
does not bother it a bit.

They Will BE Watched.

In 1888 men were voted along the
line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
run into Wheeling, voted here, and
then run out again before they could
be caught They voted the Democratic
ticket. In that year they had the sup
port of President Cleveland's special
deputy marshals. This year they will
not have that support, but they are re-
living on the police force to protect
them.
An agent OF the local Democracy, a
we'll known rounder, was sent out the
Baltimore & Ohio yesterday on this
mission. He and his gang will be
watched there, and will be watched
here.

Homestenders for Protection.


AS last desperate drive, circulars
are being distributed showing that the
Carnegie interests are on the Republi-
can side. II they are this shows their
good sense. Still more to the point,
wage-earner5 who consider the situa-
ton are also on the side of protection,
Hugh o'Donnell, the Homestead leader,
who is now in Jail awaiting trial, raises
his voice in behalf of protection and de-
nounces Democracy for its free trade
policy. He is protectionist as he was
before, and he urges working men to
vote the ticket of protection. The free
traders have failed to make anything
out of the Homestead trouble during
the campaign, and it is rather late in
the day to spring the New York pro-
duction in West Virginia.
