Is Mr.. ]. Plerpont Morgan AssIstan
President OF the United States?


Whether the projected Pittsburgh,
Monongahela & Wheeling railroad be Of
much or little Importance. Wheeling
will welcome its coming. Every rail-
road helps. The IntellIgencer has been
unable to see how this road could in any
way take the place of the proposed
Wheeling & Connel,svillc. which Is to
enter the coke aeid and give Wheeling
as cheap coke as Pittsburgh gets.
A glance at the map published In to-
days IntellIgencer makes 1t clear that
the Pittsburgh. Monongahela & Wheel
ing Is not the new coke road for which
we have been looking. From Wheeling
to the Monongahela river. where 1t
stops, 1t bears steadily away from the
coke field.
II the Pittsburgh. Monongaheln &
Wheeling were in operation there would
be the same need that there Is now for n
road 10 the ConnellsvilIe coke region,
Wheeling would have one more rail-
road, but 1t would not be the long de-
sired coke road.

The Cause Of The Boers.

Fifteen years ago British efforts to
annex and wipe out the South African
Republic were met at Majuba hill by
the dete rmined Beers and stopped with
brlllIancy which made the lion roar in
rage.
There was demand for the punish
ment OF the Beers for defending their
country successfully, but Mr.. Glad
stone, then Mt the head OF the govern
ment. apprec!ntinG the justice of the
Africander cause, preferred to enter into
a convention by which the Independence
OF the republic in internal affairs was
guaranteed, Great Britain reserving the
right to look after the republics foreign
relations.
British aggression, this time under
the lead OF the British South African
Company, has met another repulse. and
the home government Is quick to dis
ayow the movement. 1t might involve
her elsewhere more seriously.
Besides. now as in Gladstone's day OF
power, there Is In England n sentiment
OF fair play and a sympathy with the
brave Beers which the government may
not disregard.

TheIntelligencer.
wurELINo, JANUARY 4, 1890.
Oar Relation. with Euglaud,

No thoughtful American desires war
with England or any other nation. The
probability that we shall have no war
with England over the Venezuelan
question Is much strengthened by the
prompt action OF Congress authorizing
the appointment of commission to de-
termine the boundary question for our
Information. There is reason to believe
that this action is now understood fully
by the English government and people.
It means that we desire to know
whether England has any proprietary
rights in the disputed territory and, II
she has any. how far they reach. Hav-
ing learned this mucn we shall know
whether England'is laying claim to ter
ritory on this continent which does not
belong to her.
II the eminent commission appointed
by the President shall find that Eng
lands claim. in whole or in part, is not
supported by the facts, q situation Of
great gravity will confront the two
countries. Then as now we shall desire
n settlement by arbitration. This the
English government has refused. VIII
It continue to refuse? This Is the i'm
portant question. The answer means
peace or war.
The position OF the United States is
taken. Declared by the President, en-
dorsed by Congress with a patriotic I'M
aninaity that thrilled the country and
impressed the world. It is approved by
the people. Before any European
power can take another foot Of the
American continent It must worst the
United States in war.
The time between now and the an
nouncement OF the commissions find
ing will be a time OF waiting. For US it
should be also time of preparing. 1t
would be criminal folly to let the
months go by without any effort to I'M
prove our coast defenses and our navy.
II happily we have no war We shall have
added q strength which we should have
had long ago and which will help US to
command peace.
Millions of property and hundreds of
thousands of lives are exposed along
our ocean and lake coasts. The de-
lenses should be made as adequate as
time will allow and with view to their
extension until the system shall have
been made adequate. There is no divis-
ION among the people as to the main
question. There should be no division
in Congress In respect OF anything ne
cessary to sustain the country's posi-
ton.
1t is as patriotic now, and much more
provident. to look well to our defenses.
as It would be in time OF invasion to
rush men into the field to beat back the
enemy.

The Yoice OF Enrone.

The emperor OF Germany does not
hesitate to express his dissent from the
British scheme to gohble the Transvaal.
The German newspapers sing the same
song, and the French newspapers chime
In with them. No wonder the British
home government is quick to get in
tisavowai. There Is too near an ap-
proach to n concert OF the other powers
against England for her to allow the
British South African Company to pur-
sue It's grab policy. The action OF the
Beers has also put dampener on the
business. Your Cousin John Bull
knows when to get of the perch.

Senator Sherman never addresses the
senate without saying something worth
hearing. His speech on the national
finances Is clear and strong and will
command attention. for the speaker Is
known to he thoughtful man who has
exceptional knowledge OF the subject.
Tho central idea of Senator shermnn's
speech IL that II the revenues had been
sufficIent the treasury would not have
been In trouble. The Wilson tariff has
pllcd woe on the treasury and the pCo-
pie. The administration insists that
the shortage Of the revenues has moth

Another Process Asked For.
Additional correct solutions OF the

mornings IntellIgenccr have been re-
celved from c. II. Quimby. Jr.. Miss Sal

Brookes, all OF Wheeling, and Rev
John C. McCracken, OF Bellaire. All
the solutions are by aiIebratc process.
and though differing somewhat In de-
tail follow the same rule and arrive at
the same result. Following Is the cor
rect aIEcbraIc statement:
Y equals first pony.
Y equals second pony.
z equals third pony.
go minus OK plus Y plus n equals
saddle.
According to the terms OF the prob
lem, then
equals Y plus 2.
go minus X plus Y plus y plus Y
equals 2X plus ~.
22O minus * plus Y plus y plus z
equals 3X plus BY.
The reduction Of these equations

lengthy. shows that Y equals 91-6. val
he OF first pony; y equals Is j-6, value
OF second pony; z equals g. 1-6, value
OF third pony: and 200 minus (% plus
plus u equals 100 So, value OF saddle.
The arithmetIcal solution IS under
stood by a greater number OF people.
and is very simple. VIII some OF the
fntciigenccrs READERS see who can send
the simplest arIthmctical process? The
problem is as follows:
A cowboy has three ponies and Mcxi-
can saddle, which nre worth 500. Placing
tho saddle on tho FIRST pony makes II
worth the other two; placing tho, saddle
on the second pony makes II worth twice
the other two, and placing the saddle on
tho others. What Is the value OF each
pony?
