once more the matter OF suitable
habltation for the President Of the
United states is being taken mp, this time
seemingly in earnest. There IS an inn
preston that the President of the United
States is 'bouutlfully and sumptuously
housed The fact is that In our own city
OF Wheeling plenty OF fairly well-to-do
people have better household accommo-
datlons.
Fifteen years aGo sanitary expert
condemned a great par; of the white
house. There have been no Improvements
made there since. Little by little the
business of the office has encroached on
the Presidents private quarter. 50 that
now the Chief Magistrate OF the United
States is cooped up in few rooms alto
gether inadequate for his purposes.
A great country can AFFORD TO do better
than this for man whom it places in the
Presidents chair. The thing to do IS 10
build a presidential mansion apart from
the present white house. leaving the lat
Ter to be used entirely for business pur-
poses. The President should not have
less privacy than the humblcst individ-
ual. and he should have all the comforts
that the well-to-do citizen has.
It is estimated that a suitable residence
for the President could be built for about
$4,000. Certainly this would not be an
extravagant abiding place for the Pres!-
dent OF the United States.

PRESS COMMENTS.


Boston journal CRep): 1t is Europe's
determination to throw at least years
supply OF foreign goods into America
before the new tarirt can so into opera
ton.
The foreign manufacturers are being
assisted In this conspiracy by the tree
tradlng-free colning senators who have
thus far hung UP" the arbitration
treaty and seem to take particular de-
light in defying the will OF the Ameri-
can people. Imports are coming in IN
floods when recall the pAlmieSt days OF
German ', ,lsonism. The reSuIhF
steamship lines are crowded. Extra
boats have had to be put into service
to handle the crush Of merchandise.
our total imports for April are esti-
mated to be at least $SOOOO.OOO. TINS 10
nearly twice the normal volume OF our
import trade. InAugust, 1896 our I'm"
ports were valued at $iS.OOOOOO. In sep
tember, October and November they
stood at $4,000. CO., But as soon as the
result OF the electiOnes was thoroughly
known and the restoration OF protection
was seen TO be inevitable, the foreign
manufacturers began to rush In their
goods In anticipation OF the higher ou"
ties. .
In December. Imports rose to &5s,0OO.-
600. InJanuary, 1897, they fell 10 SOL
600 900, but they rose again in February
TO $50 900. 900, and in March TO $4,000
600 II is the belief Of the foreigners
that II they can thus ovcrwhelm our
markets and prevent the revival OF ma
tive manufacturing and the return OF
prosperity, the people in their diSap~
polntment viii destroy the Dingley tar.
in without giving it fair chance and
again open their ports freely to Euro
.pean products. This is also the hope
and desire OF the silverites. save that
they look TO the triumph not OF free
trade only, but also OF free coinage II
enough foreign goods can be hurried
in to delay or defeat the logical results
OF protective legislation.
Altogether, 1t is an interesting COM
binatlon OF the foreign manufacturers
and the bonanza kings TO cheat the
American people out OF the good times
which they are anticipating. The
prompt enactment Of the DinGlcy bill
would confound both elements OF the
conspiracy. outside Of the senate cham

Arc we to have any Fourth OF July in
Wheeling this year? II so. it is not too
soon TO be about It. We ought to deter
mine whether we are going to have a
celebration Of that great national ami
versary, and what is to be the character
Of it. If we decide to do something
worthy of the day and of ourselves. the
wisdom Of the patriotic and thoughtful
people OF the community will map out a
plan.
In some cities they have organized
movements which hold from year 10 year
and are always ready to take up the work
at the right time. Their exercises are
usually made up OF the reading of the
DESIGNATION of Independence by some
body who can read 1t with good effect,
addresses and the singing OF patriotic
songs. Some times the addresses nro
made by men OF national fame, some
times by home talent, and some times
there IL n combination Of both.
II Wheeling would take the matter up
ut once It would be possible to bring here
one or two men OF national reputation
whom the people would like to hear.
Properly worked up 1t would be a feature
and Wheeling would draw visitors from
miles around.
The Intellsenccr would he glad to hear
what It's readers think OF this suggestion.
II It meets with favorable response the
Intelllgencer - confident that the move
ment will command the cordial support
Of the press az Wheeling. which Is always
ready to do It's share

II the friends Of Mr.. olney. who think
they understand the workings OF his
mind. know what they are talking about,
Alr. cIevelands secretary OF state is
putting himself in position to take the
presidential nomination OF the Bryan
party in 1900.
We do not suppose that Mr.. Olney has
asked Mr.. Bryan's leave to take his par,
~ away from him. For the present pur-
pose this has nothing to do with the ques-
ton. Mr.. olney is believed TO dream
dreams OF the presidential nomination
coming from the source named.
It is recounted that Mr.. olney was not

minIstrauon who took position aga!rs:

feet Mr.. olney was as dumb as any clam.
Neither could 1t be said that M. olney
did not vote for Mr.. Bryan. Nc. oIney
did not vote at all. 80 that in :hls regard
his record is clear. To sum It up. the
friends of Mr.. olney says that he IS in
perfect position to take the nomination
OF the Bryan party. and that he Is will
Ing.
Until now we have thought IT best for
9Ir. Bryan TO run again, knowing that
he could not be elected. no matter how
many times he may run. In the light of
this olney suggestion the situation pre-
ssnts itself rather differently.
From the Republican point OF view Mr..
olney has this advantage over Mr.. Rry-
an, that he would be worse defeated than
Mr.. Bryan would be. For this reason 1t
would give US very great pleasure to see
Mr.. olney get the nomination. and TO this
end he may command our best services.

senators frame that law or they can
secure the passage OF n much ulster and
more reaonable measure. Duty bids
them pursue the latter course.

We owe great deal TO the thoughtful
women OF our day. We are not talking
about the new woman" but about the
woman who observes and thinks, and en-
deavors 10 conduct herself on rational
lines and tries to do what she can for the
welfare of other women who have less
time or less disposition to think for them
selves
Some Of the thoughtful women OF New
York have a club the object OF which Is
10 Induce women to wear short skirts on
rainy days. This Is subject not be-
meath the highest intelligence. Most OF
the women OF this country are lnvolun-
tary street yweepers Al some time in
the dim past they got the idea that fash
ion required them to wear dresses long
enough to sweep the streets, and they are
doing their best to obey what they sup
pose to be the dictates of fashion.
The fac. is that the best fashion has
cut the dresses shorter. so that street
dresses are no longer expected TO do the
work Of the hoe, the shovel and the
broom. Dresses that sweep the streets.
besides being unudy to the last degree.
are a menace to the health OF the women
who wear them and to the households in
which they live.
1t should not be necessary to organize
a club to bring about Improvement in
this respect, but since clubs are the order
of the day and since they are favored by
society. let the short dress clubs go
ahead and improve their opportunity for
good by multiplying day by day.
