An UnIusttionlo charge.


very good newspaper, and iS ono OF tho
lNTRLMdENcSR's most valued exchanges,
When 1t confines itself to the news, and
does not go outside OF the limits OF re.
spectacle journalism to engage ia un,
justlhRbIe assaults on innocent people,
it performs its whole duty to the com.
munlty in which it is published, and is
worthy OF the respect and patronage Of
its constituency. There arc occasions,
however, when 1t dOes indulge in an
eccsutricity OF the sort indicated and
yesterday was one Of them. In q high
ly sensational article, embelllahed with
lurid headlines, tho Review giveS an
account Of what It terms an ''iniernal,
damnable outrage" pOrpotrated on Sis.
tersvllle, which. without investigation,
and relying solely upon an pnauthor-
izod report, it declares was tho work OF
the authorities OF the city OF Wheeling,
The charge, briefly stated, is that a
carload OF tramps was uuIoadOd ut Sis.
tSrsyills from an Ohio River railroad
train by two special officers "Who came
up from PArkersburg" and who stated
that they were acting under orders from
the Wheeling authorities. Had our val.
ued contemporary OF the oil city ex.
pended the came amount OF force and
enthusiasm in aScertaining the bottom
facts Of the matter that it did in de-
nouncing the city OF Wheeling and dc.
manding that SiStersvills business men
boycott this community, it would have
kept itself free from the charge OF OK.
hibiting a malicious spirit and spared
itself a large amount Of undue excite.
ment. -
II the editor OF the Review had
Imothered his malice long enough to
consider, he would have seen that tho
statement made by the two officers who
landed the trampS that they were act.
ing under orders from Wheeling city
authorities was false on the face Of it.
In the first place, Wheeling officials
have no authority Of law for such an
action. aud in the second place II they
had such. authority 1t would DO neither
necessary nor reasonable for them to
employ Parkersburg officers to execute
their orders. Without further dis.
cus,ion it may be at once seen that the
Reviews excited charge is ridiculously
absurd. In fact tits absolutely untrue.
Wheeling authorities are not engaged
in the business OF dumping trash into
other towns, and Wheeling people. who
desire only the pleASantest social and
business relations with their neighborS,
would never endorse such conduct. A
great many Wheeling citizens are inter.
ested in SistersvillO. financially and
otherwise, and this city would be the
very last oil all siStersvilIe's neightors
to do her an i'll turn. We advise our
excitabtO contemporary to bo less hRsty
in future in its conclusions, and before
publishing to the world libel on a
neighboring community to make thor.
ough interrogation OF whatever charges
come to its knowledge.

II requires an enormous amount 81
nerve, mixed with large chunkG OF in
consistency, to conduct a Democratic
newspaper these days, as witnsSS the
following sentence from an editorial in
the Democratic organ in this city:
HALF the manufacturers OF tho country ap'
moved the new IRriF In their responiet u the
cnQuirioS Ot tho senate ananee commlliee Pc
iOf1 tho measure was adopted; aud nov the
other hail arc rapidly becoming converted TO It's
support
The assertion iS, OF course, IN exag'
geration, but that is not to the point.
In the days Of Republican tarid Iegisla.
ton it was iavorIle Democratic arNu'
meut that the trouble with the pEotee.
tive policy was that It consulted only
the interests Of the manufacturers; that
they, in fact, dictated it aud they we're
the only people benefited. Now we are
told that the manufacturers Of the
coaatry are bubbllnE over with joy at
departure from a policy that was max.
ing them rich so fast, and are falling
over zach other In the haste to endorse
a policy that was designed by the "re'
iormers" to cut down their profits.
Ifthsre was one thing more than an
other that brought about the defeat Of
the Republican party in 1892 it was the
anarchlstic appeal made by the Demo-
cratic press and leaders to the preju.
dices Of the people against the manu-
iactursrs, who were "the sole beneh-
Charles of protection" Those who were
affected by that cry will be apt to in
quire IL the fact that manufacturers
were the chief advocates Of a certain
policy in 1892 was Just ground for vOt.
ing it down, why the same rule should
not apply now. The proposition is Gb.
surd. but 1t 10 consistent with the Dem
ocratic plan champaign.
Another thing il suggested by our
neiehbors paragraph. There arc others
who have been strangely Converted to
the support Of the new tariff" aud they
constitute very nearly the entire Demo.
cratic party. At the time Of its passage
only a year ago, the new law was in
their opinion IAN infamous compromise
with protection" a "base betrayal Of
Democratic priucipleS," a violation Of
platform pledges" and a product Of
party perddy and party dishonor,"
Almost every Democrat. member Of
the house Of representatives voted for
it under protest and the Democratic
President refused to give It his sanction.
1t was denounced bitterly from ons end
OF the country 10 the other and tho
chairman Of tho wuyl and means COM
mttteo disowned it on the floor OF the
house. The Conversion" OF the Demo-
cratic leaders to its support at this late
day il not n conversion in fact. It is
simply hedging Of their own position
for a partisan purpose.
The people Of the United States arc
not fools aud have not forgotten the
past. Neither have they ceased TO bear
in mind tina! tho Democratic leaders
have declared that tho war on protoc.
ton Is only begun. and that the present
Compromise law" is only tho first stop
in tho direction Of the free trade which
they intend to force upon the country
II they aro rOgtorOl to power in Con.

Diamond Cutters Anxious.

Treasury officials are informed of the re-
cent arrival in New York Of about 100 dia-
mond cutters from Amsterdam. Under the
decisions of the department in force when
they sailed, they were entitled to enter the
United States under contract to engage
in diamond cutting. which up to very re-
Gently was held to be a new industry in
this country. Within a short time of their
arrival. however, the practice of the de-
partment was changed, Secretary Carlisle
having decided that diamond cutting was
not new industry" within the meaning
of the immigration laws. This decision
has been appealed from to the courts,
and the question now arises, what course
shall be pursued with the new arrivals
pending a decision of the question by the
courts?'

THRIFTY CONGRESSMEN
Saved Stationery and Mileage Money and
Sold Documents and Seed.
Railway Passes Were Unusually
Plcntiful-The Government Buying
Back Its Own Publications.

Evidence Is multiplying to show that
some of the members of the Fifty-third
Congress were very thrifty fellows, and
that they did not let anything get away
from them. The latest indication of this
fact, coming upon the top Of considerable
gossip and rumor of a similar nature, is
the detection of a Representative in the
act of selling to the Department Of Agri-
culture the quota of garden seed issued to
him by the government Z.
The report of the clerk of the House
of Representatives, issued just before the
adjournment Of Congress, shows that a
large number of Representatives did not
draw any stationery during the three ses-
sions of Congress- but instead took the
1915 in cash. the equivalent of their sta
tionery accounts. OF course they had a
gossips' say that in many cases the men,
bers of the House used the stationery fur
nished to the committees of which they
were members, thereby enabling them to
counts. Each committee was furnished a
certain amount of stationery, and the fun
quota was usually drawn.
The Mileage Privilege.
The mileage privilege, of course, is an
old story, and the Congressman had a
rich haul in this for the three sessions
The men who did not travel on passes
were very few in number, but they all
raked eff the mileage. Railroad passes
were unusually plentiful in the last Con-
gross, owing to pending railway legisla-
ton. and those members who were sharp
supplied themselves with annual passes
which would enable them to do a little
travelling during the summer.
Evidences are plentiful of wholesale dis
posals of government publications by MEM
bers OF the House. There was a large dis
trfbution Of books among the outgoing
members. and some of the volumes were
valuable. Many Of these have been bought,
1t Is SAID, by dealers. who paid the Con-
gressmen cash and who expect to realize a
profit upon the sale of the books in the
futures
The Agricultural Department has recently
been obliged to purchase 200 copies Of one
or Its own publications. paying the book
seller 90 cents copy. OF course, the dealer
had bought them from Congressman know
the publication.
Traffic in Seed.
The traffic In seed is q now feature of
congressional thrift It was but recently
that the Agricultural Department got IN
idea that there was something crooked in
the seed transactions of some members,
and steps were taken to catch the offenders
1t is expected that evidence will be OBJ
tained OF several shady transactions in seed
on tne part or congressman, and 1t Is said
that Secretary Morton proposes to publish
all the facts in connection with the matter
IN report to the next Congress- in which
he will recommend some changes In The
method Of distributing seed and 6epart-
ment publications.

JUDGE MONTGOMERY's VIEW
He Thinks the Republicans Will Attempt
Little Tariff Legislation.
He Snys They Cannot Get Anything
Through the Senate-Tarin
Corrections Needed.

Judge A. 9. Montgomery of the fourth
Kentucky district. member of the COM
mittee on ways and means and one of the
three men who. ON the part Of the House,
conducted the conference with the Senate
on the tariff bill in the long session Of the
last Congress- expressed the opinion today
that the republicans would attempt very
little, II any, tariff legislation during the
next Congress. They are," he said, al
ready making the plea that they won't
have a majority in the Senate. evidently
for the purpose of excusing themselves to
their constituents. All the signs. indeed.
indicate that the greater part Of the time
will be taken up with criticisms Of the
work of the Congress which has just clos
ed. without seriously attempting any i'm
provement, and possibly with getting
through some makeshift on the financial
question. The chances are good. however,
that they will find themselves as incapa-
bic Of reaching an agreement on silver as
we were. or course. they will have such a
vast majority in the House that they may
get something through that body. but
they will not succeed in the Senate. In
that respect also the republicans will prob
ably be we were. We got everything
through the House that We tried to get
through until after the November election
demoralized US, but we found our diffi-
Guilty with the Senate. We were unable
to do much in that body because there was
never tariff reform majority in the Sem
ate"
Asked if he thought the democrats when
they should return to power would at
tempt to correct the tariff law TO corre-
spond with the ideas advanced by the
House in the supplementary tariff bills,
he replied in the affirmative, and added
that there were also other changes than
those which should be made, as, for in
stance. in the metal schedule. which he
denounced as grossly unfair. and in The
woolen schedule. which should be toned
down somewhat. AS a whole, however, he
thinks the present law a vast improvement
over the Mckinley law, and expresses the
belief that the people will see this and ac-
knowledge it when times improve in a way
to permit them to consider the matter
without prejudice

Two Trilby Post omce..

Two post Offices have been named Trilby
since that craze set in, and the post office
officials believe that there will be forty
four such offices before the fad dies One
is Trilby. Franklin county, Ohio. and the
second Trifby, Schuyler county, Ill. 1t is
not an Objectionable name, and was given
the offices on petition of the people pa
tronizing them. The department does not
pass on the appropriateness of a name but
upon its eligibility. If it does not conflict
with another office, If the name is not too
long and 1t is not liable to be confused
with another office when the name is set
down in writing, then the certificate of
name will be likely to issue. No objection
can be urged by the Post Office Depart
ment against the name Trilby.

TO FIX HARBOR LINES.
A Com mission Designated by the s
Fetary of the Treasury.

A Commission Designated by the Sec
retary of the Treasury.
The Secretary of the Treasury has desig-
mated a commission to carry cut the pro-
visions of the act passed at the last ses-
sion of Congress to establish harbor lines
and to fix the limits within which the United
States navigation rules for the prevention
of collisions shall apply. These lines will
also determine the limits outside of which
the new international navigation rules
shall apply. The commission will consist
Of Gen. Duffield. superintendent Of the
coast and geodetic survey. as president;
Capt. Wilde. naval secretary of the light
house board; w. E. T. Chamberlin, COM
missioner of navigation, as secretary; Gen.
Dumort supervising inspector general of
steam vessels, and Capt. Shoemaker, chief
of the revenue cutter service Requests
will be sent at once to the trade. maritime
and pilot associations at each of the ocean
and gulf ports of the country, asking for
their views as to the proposed harbor lines
at their respective ports. A Philadelphia
body has already asked that for that port
the harbor line be run from Cape Hen
lopen to Cape Charles. This would include
all Of Delaware bay within the harbor linn
it's, and as this suggestion seems to meet
with the approval of the members of the
commission, 1t is likely that this line will
be finally agreed upon.
