called in due form on his arrival on the
president, The servant who opened the
door said that his excellency was in the

OF all the qualities once essential to
sovereign, the one most useful now
is tact. Queen Margherlta OF Italy,
who belongs to a house trained to king
craft for more than thousand years,
Is said to be wonderfully skillful in deal
ing with social difficulties. An Incl
dent which occurred Mt one of her
drawing rooms illustrates her readiness
and delicacy.
The persons who are to be presented
at the Roman court are arranged In
large semi-clrcle in the throne room.
The queen enters and passes around the
line, attended by chamberlain, VINO
names each person. adding usually u
word or two to give the queen some idea
OF their claim to notice. She asks
question or makes n remark to each ana
passes on.
on this occasion there was in the line
young man from South America
whose embarrassment showed itself IN
pale cheeks and terrified glances as the
queen drew nearer. At last she reached
him and stopped. He heard his name
saw her smile. There was roaring IN
his ears; his knees shook. Every eye
was bent upon him with amused inter-
est, his terror was so perceptlble.

quoted above is a reflection on the
Wheeling stogie trade, The paper quoted
inquiries: "Is the lunatic asylum the last
resort for booming the fading demand
for che Wheeling product, as shown in
the Internal revenue collection figures
OF stamps used on that product?"
That is an unfortunate question for
the Pittsburgh end Of the argument
Fortunately we have the Internal rev.
enue figures at our disposal and they
happen to show that in the twelve
months OF the fiscal year ending July /
last, the production OF cigars and cher
cots, the later term applied to stogies.
DECREASED in the Pittsburgh collec-
ton district l,siO,5I from the production
OF the year previous, while during the
same period the production in this col
lection district INCREASED 4,O6l,sH.
These figures are from the official re-
ports OF the respective Internal revenue
collectors. Eighty-five per cent, Of the
GlbaIa anu aAbblI9 AAAaNAAHNNNANN aAA N4AAs
collection district are manufactured in
Wheeling. and the increase represented
in the figures was nearly all in Wheel
ing. which last year produced more than
fifty million stogies.
In the month of July Just past, the In
crease in this district was 2s5,214, while
the decrease in the Pittsburgh district
was l.52O.56O There Is larger number
OF factories in Pittsburgh than In Wheel
ing and the aggregate production is much
larger, but the internal revenue figures
indicate that the Wheeling stogie, far
from experiencing fading demand"
is increasing In popularity, while the
Pittsburgh article Is not holding its own.
The reason for the Increased popularity
of the Wheeling sDogie is It's superior
quality and the fact that it Is made by.
the most skillful and best paid labor.

THE INTELLIGENCER.
wHEELlNo, AUGUST 40, 1891.


The Gold Democrats are not idle this
year by any means, Their national head
quarters in New York is busy place
and arrangements for an active cam
paign against the Bryanites is to be car
ried on. The sound money men are at a
much better advantage in the States
holding elections than they were last
year, for in the meantime the most catch
Ing arguments of the silverites have
been dlsproved by natural causes, and
the returning good times have played
havoc with the calamityites.
Chairman Bynum. of the National
Democratic party, has organized his
forces for the campaign, and in all the
States holding elections the organlza-
ton win be maintained and effectively
used In behalf OF sound money, whether
there are Gold Democratic tickets in the
field or not. Mr.. Bynum appreciates the
situation when he says: "our work this
fall will largely be OF an educational
'haracter The fact is that but little
Judy has been made by the present gem
ration Of the rudimentary principles OF
monetary systems. The most studlous
are just beginning to comprehend the
question and the conditions are now pro-
pltlous for Installing into the minds of the
people sound principles.
This is right The friends OF sound
and stable monetary system should not
be content with the victory of last year
and che improved conditions. There Is
a future and the people who have not
had the instruction on rudlmentary prin-
clples OF financial systems should be for
tilted with knowledge. There should be
no cessation of this work of education.
The purpose of the National Demo-
Gratis is to win back those Democrats
who wandered after strange goods last
year and 90 degenerate the old Demo-
cracy on original Democratic lines. With
them 1t is not question of who holds
the offices, any more than 1t was last
year. 1t Is the purely patriotic desire
TO save the country from the effects Of
the adoption of a dangerous heresy, and
incidentally to save the Democratic
party from the hands of the political
and financial quacks who have had 1t
by the throat ever since the surrender to
Popullsm little more than year ago.
