Dosed Win Their Own Medicine,

D0sed WIN Their Own Medicine
The President expresses himself as
amazed that SO many Of the newspaper
men OF his party have filed their ap-
plications for office OF n sort and an
other and are bringing to bear all the
pressure they can command. He re-
minds them that they denounced Presi'
dent Harrison for the honors he con-
ferred on Republican journalists, alleg-
ing at the same time that he was sub
sidizing the press.
President Cleveland submits to the
aspiring journalists OF his party that
he cannot crafty them without OPEN
ing himself to the subsidizlng charge.
Here is an awkward situation for these
Democratic brethren.
They cannot very we'll explain that
their denunciation OF President HRrri-
son was merely in the line OF a general
partisan iault.fnding, and that as u
matter Of fact they saw then no more
objection than they SEQ now to acompe'
tent newspaper man being appointed to
n public place, President Cleveland
would say, No, gentlemen, you put up
the dose; it is your own medicine
take it and make tho best OF it,
The INTgLLIGEScER Is sorry that so
many able Democratic editors wrote
and printed that which they did not be-
lieve about substituting the Republican
press; for hero is q President OF their
own party who takes them seriously,
which will result in the country being
deprived Of some good services and
some good men having to get along
without some good places,
There is no reason why q journalist
should not have the same chance as
anybody else for preforment, but tho
Democratic journalists arc OIL record
against it, and President Cleveland
grimly declines to allow a revision OF
that record on Pickwickian lines.
After his deliverance on this tender
subject Mr., Cleveland may be supposed
to have retired to tho privacy Of his
library to shake his fat sides ovor the
crushing practical joke.

Tho Gambling Houses Of Wheeling

Tho Gambling Houses OF Wheeling,
The police have found some gambling
houses. In every case, we believe, the
accused keeper is a Republican. Two
houses raided yesterday morning are
kept by colored men, and the twenty
six persons caught are colored men.
We have it on the authority Of q COM
mittee OF the West Virginia legislature
that a colored man is to be presumed
to be a Republican.
Thore is no objection to the police
putting the screws on Republicans, but
It is strange that they confne them.
selves to that kind OF game, There are
other establishments in full blast, run
by Democrats whose influence is SO
great that tho police do not know OF
their existence. This is the feature Of
tho gambling business which occasions
remarks, ~
1t is the duty of the police to clean
out the whole crowd, Republicans and
Democrats, white and black, men OF in
tluence and men of no influence. TO
discriminate is to make farce OF it.
Furthermore, the ~spasmodic raid
counts for nothing that is good. 1.-THE
chief Of police will announce that no
gambling hells shall run in Wheeling
whilo he is in Office, and il ho will fol-
low up this announcement by seeing
that they do not run, he will have set
tied the question at n stroke.
If tho chief be in earnest nobody will
be SO quick to discover it and to take
him at his word as the men who CON
duct and the men who patronize the
gambling houses. This will not DO in
the nature of news to the chief of po-
lice, but he will do we'll to take it rs q
gentle and timely reminder. There
never has been more gambling in
Wheeling than there is to-day.

Good WORK for the Press.

A very interesting movement has
been set on foot in Chicago and is be-
ing led by eleven OF its newspapers, and
these tho Imost influential, including
tho two principal German newspapers.
The effort is to defeat Carter Harrison
for mayor and to put at the head OF the
city government u first rate nan
1t is hoped that the success Of this
effort may lead toa divorce OF the city
business from state and national poll
tics, the union having produced results
far from desirable. 1t is encouraging
to see the great press of that great city
pulling together in an earnest effort to
take municipal control from the hands
that hold & and place it in better.
This Is, q suggestion to the press of
other cities to buckle on the armor and
stand together for the public interest
against the manipulators who use the
names OF d6e great parties to deceive
tho people, The united press OF a city
earnestly on the side Of good govern
ment without regard to national parties
would be irresistible.
