WASHINGTON, D. c., December 8

WASHINGTON, u. T., December o.
To ths Editor Of the REGISTER:
SIR:-In the Wheeling IIlteLIigen-
Ger Of December z, under date OF
Deem Der 6, is long alleged dispatch
from Washington, in regard to the ap-
pointment OF postmaster at Wheeling.
No such dispatch was sent from Wash
ington to the InteJLtgencer. The enter
prising and imaginative young gentle
men who run that paper had heard
that there was change in the post
Office at Wheeling, and beyond doubt,
drew on their Imagination for the ma
terial of the dispatch while comfortably
seated in the cock-loft OF the IlteLLt-
gencer building. 1 never made Mr..
O'Kane any promise with regard to the
postoffice at Wheeling prior to the last
Presidential election. 1t Is true that In
1885, during Mr.. Cleveland's former
term, that l was an ardent advocate OF
Mr.. O'Kane's appointment to the post
office. Within a few weeks after the
last Presidential election l told Mr..
O'Ksne that was going to recommend
him to the President. l recommended
him because 1 thought that he was a
thoroughly competent man and
knew that he was a most hard
working and deserving Democrat.
An intimate acquaintance OF
many years had thoroughly
grounded me in the belief that he was
upright, honest In every particular,
honorable in every dealing, and true to
the last extreme. The Office was never
promised in consideration OF liberal
or other campaign contribution. II
Mr.. O'Kane made any campaign contri-
buttons, do not know to this hour and
never heard OF it until saw the state
ment in the ITteLIigencer. Charges
have been made that was under finan-
clal obligations to Mr.. O'Kane. 1 have
never been under such obligations to
the extent OF one cent.
The supposed conversations with the
President never took place. Mr.. 0'Kane
gets the postoffice on his merits and
there is no deal whatever between him
and myself with regard to the subordl-
nate positions. 1 am sorry to see that
the IitteLligencer, which has for some
time in the past exhibited disposition
to be fair to me, should so suddenly
exhibit an intention to do evil by man
ufacturlng a dispatch which, II be-
lieved, could not fall to be injurious. l
sincerely hope that any combats with
my old antagonist may, in the future,
be contentious over doctrines Instead OF
q conflict Of personalities.
Very truly,
JOHN o. PENDLEToN.

heavy to impede free and graceful move
ment, and short enough to disclose
well-turned ankles In silken hose, for
''little feet, like mice, peep In and out"

not be neglected as they GER
talnly will not be over

material as the skirt and is the perfec-
ton OF any easy yet close fit that al

dowdy. The throat is left bare by a
deep rever and Is encircled by q neck
lace Of gems which stimulates natural
flowers, and a spray matching II is pin
ned on the breast and peeps coquettIsn-
ly from one of the revers. A crinkIed
belt is bound loosely around the waist
and a rosette Of costly lace is fastened
at the opening of the revers by jewel.
The sleeves are of white diaphanous
lace, through which the arms CLEAN at
every movement, and slender loose
bracelets adorn the wrists. Thus at

dant shekels for sweet charity and
golden opinions for herself, all uncon-
sciously-perhaps!

To tAs EduOr Of ne REGISTER:
Writers from Marion, Preston and
perhaps other counties Of the Second
Congressional district have taken occa-
sion to censure Hon. VIM. L. Wilson
through the columns Of the public press
on account Of his not getting more
places for Second district Democrats.
Il is source Of regret that these
people cannot appreciate Mr.. Wilson's
worth as a statesman and public SER
want. Il seems, though, that in each
case where there is objection raised
against Mr.. Wilson's course the writer
himself has been disappointed in not
getting office for himself or friends or
else has friend he'd like TO see wear
ing Mr. Wilson's shoes.
As for Barbour county she is now, as
ever heretofore, a unit for Wilson, and
will be found just as earnestly advocat-
Jog his cause next campaign as in the
past. II.

old story as It is now. 1t was new

TARIFF BILL CHANGES.
Tax on Playing Cards Agreed to-.
Income Tax Discussed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The men,
bers of the ways and means committee.
with but one exception, held a meeting
last night at the treasury department to
further consider the unfinished portions
of the internal revenue features Of the
tariff bill. Mr.. Miller, the commissioner
of internal revenue. was present. The
only final action taken was that the
committee decided to place tax of six
cents per pack on playing cards. instead
of 10 cents per pack heretofore pro-
posed. The discussion of the PROPOSE
ton to levy tax on incomes-corpora-
tions and successionS-consume con-
siderable time, and it was said by q.
member of the committee today that the
discussion tended to an inclination to
agree to tax on incomes and success
sions. Nothing ip this line, however, it
is said, was brought to vote, and the
questions remain unsettled.
The attempt to secure an organized
resistance to the tariff bill by the dis
grpntled members of the house appears
to have failed, and they now look for
ward to the senate as their only hope to
obtain any AMENDMENTS to the bill. The
names OF Messrs. Cochran, Stevens and
Bynum have been mentioned as being
opposed to the bill. Each OF these mem
Ders said today that while there we're
certain portions Of the measure which
were not satisfactory to them, they
could not consider themselves tariff
reformers and not expect changes which
would not meet with protests.
