To the Editor VI the tntelllgenceE
sIR:-The agonizing partisan cry OF
the Register for the last week deserves
either the sympathy of our citizens or
the condemnation Of Intelligent Demo-
Gratis. Ii no doubt deserves the latter.
as its conduct of late Is Of such despi
cable nature that 1t has fully confirmed
the former opinion OF members Of its
party that the editor and management
had not the brain power and ability to
take Il from the level of the Police News
and place e side by side with respecta
BILE journals. The frenzied vaporing OF
the editor in last Saturdays issue AS
sailing the efficiency Of our present
council was of the low biningsgate
style OF abuse. A sound. able mind, no
matter how partisan. would not assert
that this body is 1.-THE most inefficient
and unbusinessllke that ever disgraced
the city hall"
Where was this champion OF scurrility
during the term OF the previous Demo-
cratic council? Does he forget the EN-
barrassed financial condition that body
placed the city in through incompetent
legislation? The taxpayers viii not for
get It when the report Of the city clerk
will be read at the next meeting of
council. showing the amount of the
city's debt lIquIdated In the past two
years by the diligence and buslnesslike
manner of the present body And the
good citizens Of Wheeling will not for
get It at the next municipal election.
They will elect a Republican council
that will follow In the footsteps Of our
present body in the economical manner
IL has handled the city's affairs
When the Democratic party were IN
control OF the clty's affairs the one-sided
editor did not advocate that partisan
politics should have no part In the cleo
ton of city officials. But now the Re-
publlcans are in and the Democrats are
out. and in all probability will stay out
until the Republican party become d.
vIded by dlscord and breaks up In fac
tons. The Register Is aware OF this and
IL Is madly bent on its mission TO dis
rupt the Republican party. Its assault
on the Republican bosses" or "clty hall
ring of mercenarles," as 1t Is pleased to
cali the cItys employees, is a clear indi-
cation OF how low and contemplate a
Democratic editor can make himself
when his party is out OF office and on the
eve Of dissolution. Jealousy isya wick
ed monster and resorts to all the mean
trickery imaginable TO sHbserve Its ends.
The Register Is noted for Its mendacity
and disregard OF honorable methods OF
Journalism. Its deceitful and brazen APP
neal To turn down the present admins
tration IS a wasteOf time and paper that
could be put to more Legitimate use. and
the Republican party viii be In power,
becaUsS the Democratic party and the
scurrilous Register cannot distodge

While consistently disavowing from q
very early period any aggressive policy Of
group, long series of declarations through
three-quarters of a century has proclaimed
the vital interest Of the United States in the
intimate commercial dependence upon this
country. At the same time 1t has been re-
peatedly asserted that In no event could the
entity of Hawaiian statehood cease by the
passage of the islands under the DONNA
ton or influence Of another power than the
United States. Under these circumstances
the logic of events required that annexa-
ton, heretofore offered but declined, should
in the ripeness of time come about as the
natural result of the strengthening ties
that bind us to those islands, and be real
tied by the free will of the Hawiian state.
That treaty. was unanimously ratified

of September last, and only awaits the fa-
vorable action Of the American senate to
