THE INTELLIGENCER.
wHRELINo, oCToBER o, 1907.


In commenting on the financial state
ment of State Treasurer Kendall for the
fiscal year which ended September 80,
the Parkersburg State Journal remarks;
1.-THE showing made by Treasurer Ken
dali is alike credltable to him and to the
Republican administration, and is one
that should be gratifying to the citizens
of West Virginia, The volume of bust
ness In the treasurers office, during the
year just closing, was unprecedentecly
large. From inquiry we learn that 6,lO1
checks were issued as against 1896 for
the preceding year, and 4,77l receipts
were taken, as against 1851 the preceding
year"
Considering the venomous attacks
which have been made by the Demo-
cratic press on the alleged extravaganza
OF the Republican administration during
the half year in which It has had the
management of the states finances, the
statement is indeed a credtable showing
and is sufficient answer to reckless asser-
tons that have been made. Notwith-
standing there were unusual demands
made on the treasury, due to the legacy
OF quarter OF million dollars in old
bills inherited from the preceding adj
ministratiou, the treasury has met all
ordinary demands and at the close of
business, at the end of the fiscal year last
week, there was a balance in the hands
of the treasurer, to the credit OF the
state fund, of s2i774S 3S, which added
10 the general and unInvested school
fund, makes the total balance in the
treasury S7S2,659 50. The legislature wac
obliged to pass deficiency bill to cover
the unpaid bills which are now about all
paid. Notwithstanding this, the balance
at the end of the year was in excess of
that at the end of the previous year.
The report shows decrease in the IN
Invested balnce OF the irreducible school
fund, this being due to the withdrawal of
a large amount of the fund from the
banks which were paying but per cent
interest and its investment in bonds
which pay double that interest, thus in
creasing the revenues Of the state.
The receipts of the treasury last year
were s1,2S4,5S3 Sc, in the state fund and
the disbursements si,97e,2Si %; In the
general school fund the receipts were
sS75,79S 25, the disbursements $SS1,5l2 20;
IN the irreducible school fund the re-
ceIpts were sS2,5OO 81, and the dlsburse-
ments sif9,iS7 IS.
Taken altogether the showing will
compare favorably with the statements
of the best of former years and shows
the state to be In excellent financial con-
dition.

An interesting letter written by the
poet Thomas Moore has Just come to
Right tn connection with the discussion
now going on In the press growing out
OF the fact that his name has been omit
ted from the roll Of great poets in the
new congressional library building in
Washington. The reason given for the
omission was that in his poems on
America, Moore attacked this country
and was particularly bitter against
Thomas Jefferson. whom the English at
that time especially hated, as the author
of the Declaration Of Independence and
the leading statesman OF the revolution.
The letter referred to, which IS in the
possession of Senator Hoar, OF Massa-
chusetts, was written in 1916, twelve
years after the offensive poems were
published. and was addressed to the edI-
tor OF the Philadelphia Portfolio, lead

Do you recall that time last year,
Upon the Klondike river,
We thirsted for n glass OF beer
And shook with many a SILVER?
I oft since then have wondered why
For gold, In Natures CULVER

Upon the Klondlke river.
Our boat kept measure with Its oar,
Till one September morning
The river froZe from shore to shore
Without minutes warning,
And cut our commissary so,
We didn't have silver
OF anything TO eat but snow
Upon the Klondike river.
We'd dug four tons Of gold week,
And piled 1t all around us.
Into glittering yellow peak,
Just as the winter downed us;
And when the summer came once moro,
Although II seemed II never
Would come again, we were dead soro
Upon the Klondike river.
For not spech OF dust had We,
or all we had collected,
Because, by gravy, don't you see,

For grub was needed right along,
And stun 70 stop shiVer, -,
And pound for pound, " the suffers song
Upon the Klondike river,
So when the warm had killed the cold
And winter time was over,

Collector Of Internal Revenue Fruit, OF
the Pittsburgh district, Is having pretty
much the same experience in the matter
Of relnstating old employees In the place
of men who succeeded them under the
Democratic administration, as the coll
lectors of other districts, including our
own, are having, Two deputies who
were notified on Thursday that their APP
pointments had been revoked in obedi-
ence to orders from the treasury depart
ment, have refused 10 accept dismissal,
The talk about violations of the civil
service law In many instances, is caused
by a misunderstanding OF the motives
for the changes, on the part of the public,
The Pittsburgh Dispatch IN referring to
tho matter does not regard the actions
Of the department as being any violation
of the law, I'm the progress of the dis
missals from the revenue service" says
our contemporary, there is far less evil
dence of political motives than was
promised at the inception OF the trouble.
There is no indication that the collector
has been inspired by partisanship in his
part OF the affair, and the reinstatement
of old employees who were distinguished
for their ability and fidelity is not in the
nature of triumph for the spois policy,
The civil service law Is IN full operation,
and win continue to be in spite of the de-
slres of the politicians OF either side"
In this state the changes that have
been made in the internal revenue ser
vice have been under the circumstances
described in this quotation.

The esteemed Register is just enough
to publish statement from Captain
Dovener correcting Its recent unjust
statement regarding the California trip
by the "gunboat party" 1t quotes the
captain as follows:
The captain was very much pleased
with the SUCCESS OF the California trip,
which was arranged by him, but was Il
trine annoyed at the published state
ments that the government will be under
thousands of dollars Of expense for the
entertainment of the Wheeling party,
THAT statement is untrue" he said to
Register reporter. "As a matter of
fact the government does not pay a sin
gle cent OF the expense. The only thing
] asked OF the government was a letter
TO the navy officials In San Francisco
which l received. They treated us roy
ally"
As the published statements" referred
to appeared in no paper except the Reg
lister, and as the Register sneered at the
Intelllgencer's correction of the lnslnua-
ton, saying that this paper didn't know
what IT,. was talking about its publlca-
ton Of Captain Doveners correction has
point which can be readily observed.

days It Is great society event and the
