The Parkersburg journal wants to
know whether ex-secretary Of State
Chiffon has paid that shortage of $4,000,
and calls on the Intelligeneer for the
information. Ignoring the sarcasm in
the Journals request tor information
from this source, which Is entirely graf
ulous on the part of our friend, the Intel
ligeReer desires to say that, SO far as Il
Is aware, no settlement has been made,
1t will say also that II no settlement has
been made 1t should have been ere this,
With other newspapers in the state,
the 1ntelligencerhasbe been dlsposedto give
Mr., Chiffon a chance to carry out his
promise to pay, For some time he has,
according to the statements made at
Charleston, engaged In finding out how
much he owes the state, and 1t was only
recently that he rendered his account 10
the state officials. What has been done
since then we have no means Of knowing,
but the Intell!gencer has faith enough in
the integrity, ability and faithfulness OF
our state officers to believe that they viii
take the proper course to secure to the
state treasury what It is entitled to, and,
il they fail In this, to take whatever legal
course their sworn duties require them to
take.

The Register garbles the Intelligencer's
editorial of several days ago in an effort
TO make It appear that It defended the
deal by which the Morgan syndicate was
to bid in the Union Pacific railroad at It's
own price. The Intelligencer's article,
however. did not defend chat deal, The
entire article was a comment upon q
proposition which the New York World
suggested should be submitted by the
President, and 1t held that rather than
that absurdity, which in the end would
cause greater loss TO the government, 1t
would be better to leave the matter as It
then stood, since the government could
get all the money It paid IN with 3 per
cent interest. The merits OF the deal"
as the Register calls II, were not discuss
ed in the article, which was called nut
simply by the Worlds proposition.
It does not please the Register to cor
rectly represent the attitude OF the Intel
llgencer on any public question. II II
cannot deliberately falslfy It will garble

It 10 mean anything TO suit its dishonor-
able purpose An illustration of this
method Of our neIghbor is found in yes
terday's Register, wherein It publishes
the first two sentences Of The lengthy
editorial from the Intelligcncer referred
10 above, with the last sentence, leaving
out the entire body OF the article, which
would show that the 1nteiligencer was
not discussing the question Of Justice IN.

William ]. Bryan Is growing worse in
the recklessness of his speeches as he
grows older. When he stated at cincin-
natl Thursday that "the first six months
OF the Mckinley administration were the
most disastrous in the country" he gave
deliberate utterance to what he knew
was faIsehood While In the past some
things said by Mr.. Bryan have been re-
garded as foolish and demagogic, we do
not remember Of his ever being accused
of wlllful prevaricatlon. In fact he has
always been regarded as being man
quite above such a thing.
1t is unnecessary to prove that the
above statement, with which Mr.. Bryan
lnsulted the intelligence of Cincinnati
audience, IS false, for the whole country
knows it to be false and his audience
knew 1t. All the calamity howiers In the
country must now take off their hats to
Mr.. Bryan and acknowledge him their
champion, for none of them has dared
to SO so far.
