didn't he ten about It 1t the time. in
his own self-defense7 II any Repub-
lican member OF the legislature had his
life threatened with the knowledge OF
any Republican manager. candidate or
member, or any responsible individual
or any purity. why did he not expose u
man who was going to take his life at
the time the threat was made.
Does Mr. McGraw intend to make his
case on a probably pertured piece %
evidence that, in the name Of his COM
petltor, murder would have been COM
mltted, had he not received the caucus
nomination? We believe not. Does Mr..
NcGraw expect to defeat Mr.. Scott
from taking his seat on the ground that
a man voted for him in the caucus who
would have been murdered in his name
n he had not done so? Does Mr.. Nc
Graw endorse the Democratic organ in
this state that would convey such IN
Impression to the public? Can Mr.. Nc
Graw, II he does believe such a story
told to him by anybody, vouch for the
honor and the veraclty Of the man who
gave him the evidence, and that. If
such threat was made, that he repre-
sented any responsible party or person?
We believe not.
Would Mr.. McGraw and his friends,
contend for a moment that the Intelli-
gencer does them injustice, when ii
frankly states that they have either
been the victims of deceit, or else some
one has been incorporating their own
attItude7 The Intelllgencer can
not find 1t possible to believe that one
of the main points against Mr.. Scott TO
be presented before the senate and the
whole country, that he secured his eau
Gus nomination through threats Of bod

1t has more confidence in the fairness
of Mr. -AIcCraw and his best friends.

Elsewhere will be found an unusually
interesting letter from our soldier cor
respondent In the Philippines, Ernest
g. Smith writes from San Fernando,
TAazon, under date of June Is, six weeks
aEo, and the feature of the letter which
win be read with the greatest interest
Is his thrilling description of the march
from Manila to San Fernando, and the
capture of that city. which event was
one Of the most important OF the insur-
rectlon, and gained the United States
troops the advantage point which had
been the very stronghold of Aguinal-
dos forces. Few descriptions of the
battle on the occasion of the taking Of
the city have been more graphic than
this. 1t is great tribute to the valor
of the American troops. for, in spite Of
the great losses sustained by the insur-
gents, the loss to the Americans was
slight.
The Intelligencer correspondent
frankly and intellIgently gives the dark
side and the bright side Of the cam
palEn in Luzon, as 1t was when he
wrote the letter. showing the troubles
that the insurgents give US in their
bushwhacking methods, and yet cannot
hold a point gained. He shows the nee
essIty for new forces to take the place
Of the volunteers, which, by the way, is
now being given. but pays our troops
At the seat of all the fighting the tribute
Of saying:
"The fabric OF the insurrection is too
loosely woven Cmeanlng dlsorganIzed)
70 admit even Of a sudden demolition.
One force Of the enemy may lay down
Its arms, or be compelled to surrender,
without even slightly affecting any
other force In the field. This is one of
the phases which presages war for
years unless favorable exigencles arise.
There Is, however, brighter side to the
picture, and, after all, that is the side
70 look upon. Whatever districts are
protected by American troops are pro-
tected thoroughly. Not once, since the
war began, has the line of defense been
broken by the enemy, and our advance
has only been checked by the sensible
policy Of acquiring no more territory
than could be readily controlled by the
troops at hand. On the north. at least,
the lines are extended as far as present
necessity demands"
The letter was written before the
rainy season began, and great many
other advantages have been gained
since. The additional troops, freshly
enlisted, regulars and volunteers, will
be on hand before real active cam
paIgn viii be prosecuted. The IntellI-
gencer emphasizes the point made By
It's soldier correspondent, because II
seems logical, or. at least, was at the
time It was written. Those who are
interested in the descriptions OF fight
ing, however, will enjoy his sketch Of
the march on San Fernando. the driv'
ing out of the 10000 insurrectionist in
habitants, and one of the most notable
victories achieved by the volunteers IL

snsncnd Judement for &c Time.


Some very sensational reports are
being published in regard to the charges
alleged against Superintendent stath-
ers, Of the Hospital for the Insane at
Weston. Some Of these sensations are
being published outside of West Vir-
ginIa, much to the discredit Of the
state, in view OF the fact that nothing
has been yet proven. for no official In
vestigatlon has yet been held, notwith-
standing DR.. stathers has repeatedly
demanded an immediate hearing, and
some Of the directors favor 1t. 1t should
be held, however, soon. and the public
owes IT to the officer whose reputation
is involved, to suspend judgment until
the inquiry is completed.
While the publications, at least some
of them, may be well intended, and,
without an investigation, 1t is needless
to discuss the merits one way or the
other, most of them are calculated to
agitate the unfortunate affair and pre-
judice the case. In the meantime. in
the interest of justice, and TO all parties
concerned, the Intelllgencer suggests
that the official investigation OF the
charges be held as soon as possible, in
order that it may be ascertained which
is justice, and the whole matter be
cleared up for the satisfaction and
peace Of the public. Whatever au-
thority there Is TO order an investiga-
ton without reasonable delay, it should
be exercised.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

she is, believes in her heart thar she

You can always judge a womans

taurant when no one IL looking.
The instinct that makes man fall In
love probably is the same one that
makes a child, when 1t can't think Of
anything else to do, want a piece OF
bread and butter.
There was once big looking glass In
n department store, and one day a wo-
man passed It without looking to see
how she looked to other people when
they looked at her. This is not fairy
story; the woman was bllnd.-New

The North American Review for Au-
gust is remarkable for the number and
diversity of subjects of present inter-
est which are represented in its pages.
Some Of the most important events and
movements OF the time are discussed
in 1t by those who are either closely as
ISOLATED with them or have made a
special study of them; and. at the same
time, as hefits a magazine Intended for
summer reading, it contains several
brilliant articles of an entertaining
character on literary, dramatic. artis-
tic and athletic themes. The Countess
of Aberdeen, who presided over the
"woman's International Parliament, +"
held last month in London, gives an ac-
count Of the work accomplished by the
convention. and explains the objects
aimed at by the Confederation OF Ma
tional Councils of Women; while Kas-
sandra Vlvaria, writing from the point
of view OF a disinterested spectator,
critlcIses the proceedings with some
pungency, deploring the tendency
evlnced by many of the speakers to re-
gard the work of women as being indie
pendent Of and even hostile to the work
Of men.
