\ CONTEMPORARY ENLIGHTENED.

Ih9 esteemed, but tricky ring organ
of Fourteenth St. affects not to under
stand why we have failing revenue and
business depression unless they ars
chargeable to the Wilson bill.
We have respect enough for the COM
mon ssnse of the Intelligencer to be
lieve that it does not believe the Wilson
bill is responsible for either. 1t knows
that the loss of revenue is the result of
the annulment of the income tax pro-
vision, which was counted on by the
trainers OF the Wilson bill for at least
$50. 600, 600 per year, and of the unprece-
de1ted extravaganza of this do-nothing
spendthrift Congress. 1t also knows
that the Wilson bill produces far more
revenue than the Mckinley bill did.
As TO the business depression, our
neighbor is we'll aware of the fact that
the country has not yet recovered from
the effects Of the panic which was pre-
cipitated upon the country by the Sher-
man silver purchase act. which McKin-
Icy not only voted for. but voted against
repeating. aided by the condition Of the
treasury which the Harrison Mckinley
Observation-Disclosures regime left
bankrupt. together with the weakened
condition of the county's resources al
ter four years of monopoly taxation I'M
der the Mckinley iniquity.
These are the causes of our present
ailments. and, with the exception of the
Topping off of sSO,OOO,OOO Of revenue by
the annulment of the income tax law,
they are every last one of them Repub-
lican. And this is fact which the
sinuous organs of the g. o. p. cannot get
away from.

GRAND OLD BETHANY.

Old Bethany, the Mother OF Col
leges. is in a delicate financial condi-
ton. For ffty-fve years this grand
old temple Of learning has welcomed
within her classic walls students of high
and low degree, with and without mon
ev. If the student were well enough
off 10 pay for his tuition, we'll and good,
but If the student was without money
he. or she. was taught just the same
without price. 1t need not be demon
strafed that this sort of financiering is
not calculated to make any institution
rich. For over half a century, however,
noble and charitable Old Bethany has
managed to exist on what tuition fees
she received eked out by generous dona-
lions from generous friends OF the col
lege. And in this time she has done
world OF good having graduated over
500 young men ard young women.
But now the splendid cid institution
is in sore financial straits and is forced
to ask her alumni and friends for aid
in order that she may be put beyond all
uncertainty as to the future. Several
propositions have been made for the re-
moval Of the college from its present
site and It's union with some ether in
slitution of learning. All these propo-
titions have been rejected, the trustees
having faith that the old colleges chill
dran would come to tbs rescue of their
beloved Alma Mater.
Bethany still needs $4,000 annually to
pay expenses and the trustees have I'M
dertaken to raise within the next three
years an endowment of 100000 the in
terest on which would cover this sum.
Already $4,000 is pledged and with the
numerous friends and alumni which Old
Bethany boasts it ought not TO be diff
cult TO raise the balance. The Register
wishes the project God-speed, for We
cannot dispense with grand Old Beth
any.

A. TO FREF COINAGE.

Col. Ran Stalnaker when asked his
opinion on the currency issue by con-
temporary the other day stated emphat-
ically that he was a strong advocate of
the free and unlimited coinage of bungs,
one Of West Virginia's great products.
The free coinage of bungs. he thought.

MORTON AND PLATT.

New York Sun.
Perhaps our Mugwump friends have fall
ed to notice during the last two months the
public bearing OF those two eminent bosses,
Levi p. Morton and Thomas c. Platt. If
they have noticed it. they have made no
remarks. Mr.. Plat. VINO has been beyond
all odds the most aggressive warrior in be-
half OF sound money. has stood to his
guns with a steadfastness and resolution
beyond praise. Governor Morton was nom
mated for President by the Republicans Of
the great State of New York or a financial
platform that man could read running;
and. having once accepted that response
bilitv. he has stuck to it like man. despite
all McKinleyite endeavors to get him off
the field by corrupting his supporters, or
by making wishy-washy appeals TO him
TO consider his personal dignity and re-
tire"
Every politician in the United Safes must
look with admiration on Morton and Platt.

MISUNDERSTANDING BROS.

go TO St. Louis determined that no gold
standard plank shall be put into the plat
form. The Eastern Republicans who are
sure to carry their States against the free
silver nominee have practically the fate OF
the Western Republicans in their hands,
and the latter are earnestly begging that
with Mckinley nominated and an Eastern
gold standard man for second place the
platform be left rather general.
Otherwise they say that while Mckinley
may win at the polls the majority in the
next House is pretty sure 20 be of free sill
yer inclinations.
This does not seem possible in view Of the
general Republican confidence which has
been felt, but certainly tine Western men

THE GROUNDS FLIMsY.

New York sun.
Mr.. Cleveland vetoed the river and har-
Dor bill Of 1896 on grounds so flimsy and so
cisingenuously presented that it was an
easy job for Senator's and Representatives
TO riddle his message. At the same time
he took occasion to lecture Congress and
the people so extensively for lack of patri-
otism and alleged decadence of the national
spirit, that even if his objections had been
the best in the world. human nature could
hardly have resisted the temptation to
override his veto as a mark of contempt.
All the same. the real reason for vetoing
the river and harbor bill was sound, al
though it was not presented to Congress by
Mr.. Cleveland. If it occurred to his in
dustrious mind it was carefully suppressed
by him. The President seems TO be jealous
even of the ghost of that greater Democrat
whose fame will overshadow his own more
and more as both recede in history.

A measure that would considerably
increase the revenue and at the same
time protect consumers from injurious
authorizations Of beer would be an addi-
toaal duty Of one dollar a barrel on all
beer made from glucose or any other
substance except barley malt The In
ternal Revenue Bureau possesses all
the means and machinery for collecting
such tax. Brewers as wen as distill-
ers are required by law TO make sworn
reports Of the quantities and kinds Of
substances used in the manufacture Of
their products. All brewers who make
good and pure beer would heartily ia
vor a tax on beer not produced from
barley malt. and the complaints Of
others would be of small consequence
in a matter in which the interests of
consumers are the chief consideration.

ANOTHER SMUGGLING TRICK.

Attention is called by the Dry Goods
Economist 10 the enormous increase in
the importation OF rags, and the re-
markable method Of their distribution
to interior points in the United States.
There seems 10 be a sudden demand
for rags at various places unexplainable
on any known use TO which they are
put at the point Of delivery. Cuyahoga,
Ohio. for example, imported more rags
in the year following the repeal OF the
duty than were imported into the whole
country during the preceding year. This
is certainly suggestive. The Economist
says:
T king into consideration that certain
goods nave been thrown on the market
lately the extremely low prices OF which
cannot ne accounted for under any theory
Of uudervaluatiOn. and the great quantities
Of which preclude the possibility Of assum-
Ing these low prices TO he only an accident,
the belief Is gaining ground that some
where an extensive, Well-planned ana we'll
conducted scheme Of smuggling in bales
of RAGS is being carried on. And there are
not wanting on the market to-day certain
imported goods whose low prices bear out
this theory.

Quoted by men of executive ability in a

Of detection and punishment is not h5r-
bored by them The goods are apparently

ir the middle OF rag bales. the latter being
used as a covering for the far more valu-
able goods.
To smuggie taxed goods in bales of
uutaxed goods is a scheme which lends
itself very readily TO the hands of un-
scrupulous persons. The law should
make provision for thorough inspection
of rags at the expense of the importer

gan was once a rational being. but since
he fell out with the President he has be
come so persistently belligerent and can
tankerous and so invlncibly wrong on

forth his endless talk, that even Senatorial
courtesy can stand it no longer. He start
ed in yesterday in utter disregard of de-
corum. with a fresh diatribe against the
President and a public discussion Of the
private business Of the foreign committee.
The Senate tried to turn him off by going
into executive session. As he still ran on,
the next thing was to put his resolution on
the calendar. where 1t will stay. This will
not stop Morgan's mouth, but it is comfort
ing TO have him snubbed, if only for a day.
