The Inteiiigeneer has frequently COM
mented upon the sensational reports that
arc from time to time sent 10 the out
aide press, and particularly TO sensation
al metropolitan papers. detailing alleged
tragedies and other iawlessness In the
interior counties OF West Virginia. At
tentlon has been called TO the fact that
these reports are largely the work Of a
class OF newspaper correspondents, with
whom portions OF the state seem TO be in
tested. and that when traced down their
stories are usually found to be made OF
whole cloth or have only a slight basis
OF truth. There Ia no question that they
arc damaging to the states reputation ns
a law-hblding commonwealth, aud re-
Election IN tho character Of the popuia-
zion In the mountain districts.

arc willing 10 pay for hnlr-ralaing stories
Of any sort, arc responsible for the fact
that the people outside Of weat Virginia
have false Idea OF the type OF clvillza-
zion that exists IN the back counties"
ms they call them, OF West virginia, and

which the thrilling fake was based by
some imaginative writer. The details
were of an alleged tragedy resulting
from fight in Nicholas county, in the
effort Of deputy marshals to arrest Mil
ton Hickman. Hickman was wanted for
violation OF liquor laws. but the story,
which was worked as a big sensation In
many of the leading papers OF the coun-
try, detailed a desperate battle between
the marshals and some alleged postoffice
robbers last Sunday In church during
services, and there was a thrilling ac-
count of how one desperatdo was killed,
and later report told OF the death OF one
OF the deputies from wounds. OF course
there was the usual Intense excite
ment in the community" &C.. &c. on
making inquiry thl Register discovered
that It had been Imposed upon, and that
the whole sensational account of
bloody battle was based on not extra
ordinary Incident OF an alteration be-
tween the officers and brother of the
man they were looking for. and that one
shot was fired. but without fatal result
There was no other trouble or shOotlng'ot
any kind.
II investigated 1t will be found that
one-half, it not a greater number, OF
similar sensational reports that are sent
board-cast over the country from the In
terror of West Virginia have no better
foundation than this story had. It was
but a sample OF how ordinary events are
taken by newspaper fakirs and worked
into startling and remarkable occur
rences, to the damage of the good name
of this state, and for the sake of acquir-
ing few dishonest dollars,
1t seems that the West Virginia press
association could do a good work for the
state, and for the credit OF the newspaper
profession in West Virginia, II 1t were to
use the facilities 1t possesses for bringing
to light these journalistic bunco men and
exposing them to the metropolitan
papers they vlOtimize. So far the Intel
llgencer has escaped from these imposl-
tions, for as a rule the buncolsts do not
risk sending their wares to the Wheeling
papers through fear Of detection.

A Versatile LAWYER.

Thorn's attorneys intention, previous
to the confession of Mrs. Mack, was I'd
attempt to show that Guldensuppe was
not murdered, and that the body alleged
to be his was that OF some one else. The
confession, however. changed his inten-
ton to one Of having his client offset
Mrs. NaclS's confession vita one that she
was the real murderer and that Thorn
was only an accomplice.
It is a talented and versatile lawyer
who can accommodate HE defense of a
criminal to make 1t fit new and startling
developments at a critical stage. II the
corpus deficit has not been proven, and
II, according to this lawyers own state
ment, the parties murdered no one, why
make his client confess that the murder
did occur simply to offset a confession
which he claims Is lie?
The attorney appears to be admitting
that his first line OF defense was based
on something which he was unable to
sustain.

Grant and Long,trect.

New York Mail and Express: General
Grant had as much to do with Long
streets becoming Republican as any
one else. They had been schoolmates
Mt West Point, had graduated the same
wear and received their commissions at
the same time. They had fought among
the cactus bushes of Mexico, and had
drunE mescal from the same jug n
thousand times. 1t was at Jefferson
barracks, near st. Louis, that Long
street introduced his cousin, Miss Julia
Dent to Grant, and It was bonSstreet
himself who told the young lady Of the
worth Of his friend. They were mar
rIed, and the Georgian was at the we'd
ding, When they next saw each other
II was at Appommattox. After the for
malItles Of the surrender were over,
General Grant took General Longstreet
to one side and said:
Julia wants to see you. Go home and
see your family, and then come to see
me, won't your"
Longstreet promised and he kept his
word. When Grant became President
he asked for his advice and begged that
his former adversary be now one Of his
advisers. General Grant never had n
truer friend during his administration.
They knew each other. When the trng-
edy took place at Mount McGregor
Longstreet suffered as II It were the loss
Of a brother. He has often visited the
tomb on the Hudson, and has laid the
gentlest tribute OF friend upon the
marble. And for the living, let us all
hope that he will find his now position
n pleasant one, and that long Since his
wife has smoothed out all the burrows
that age, work and the malice OF men
have made.
