The New York Post, one OF the
bitterest opponents of the policy of
the administration, has seen the err
ror of Its ways, and comes out cour-
xgeously with the admission, that the
stories 1t published about the brutal
ity OF American soldiers in the Phil
iprines were pure inventions.

The Fire-Box Mystery Thought to Have
Been solved.

The Fire-Box Mystery Thought to Have
Been solved.
AS has been heretofore noted, within
the past few days the fire department
officials have been annoyed by some
one %tampering with the fire boxes on
the South Side. The offense of the
party consisted in breaking the glass
in the key boxes and carrying off the
key. The police were appraised of the
matter, and started an investigation
which yesterday resulted in the arrest
of John Raymond, a fourteen-year-old
boy OF the Sixth ward. The lad, when
taken into custody, produced the two
keys taken from boxes "a and 50, but
told the officers he had not stolen them
himself, but had got them from an
nfSes 3R96XE tnna Rneed Earle. Owing to the
ton that he would go after the Earle
boy and bring him before Chief Ben
nett, but up until a late hour last
night he failed to show up. Young
Raymond has ben in the hands of Off
GERS before for riding bicycles away
without the consent of the owners,
and as he was seen near box SO shortly
before the key was stolen, he was sus-
piciOned as the guilty party.

them to do in the premises and the adj

the gentleman in the White House de-

A RIDICULOUS ISLANDER.

The Intelligencer's comment on the
fact that Messrs. Taylor and Hays re-
manned loyal to their party as they
naq all along ueClareG Uney wouId on
the decisive vote in the Via case is not
only decidedly unjust, but grossly
libelous.
The organs insinuation that those
gentlemen had been seen in order to
get them to vote with their own party
is quite as ridiculous as it is SANDER
Gus, and will cause a broad grin about
the Hobbies at Charleston, where the
methods of certain Republican Sena-
torial candidates are notorious.
The organ openly charges Messrs
Taylor and Hays with dishonesty
This libel sounds strange coming on
top of the same organs laudation OF
these gentlemen for their high n OF
honor in breaking away from theil
party on their first vote.
The organ, blinded by its chagrin
is sadly at sea in handing about its
epithets, in the use of which it is de,
cidedly reckless and inconsistent.

A CONTROVERSY
Growing Out OF the Recent Sale of TIL
Baer Grocery Company.

Growing Out of the Recent Sale of TIL
Baer Grocery Company.
The following telegram from Park
ersburg give details of a Wheeling
business transaction of recent date:
Special TO the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, January IL
Some exceedingly peculiar points are
involved in the controversy in the case
OF b. S. Baer, ct al, VS.. the Baer's
Sons Grocery Company, from Wheel
ing, which is up before Judge Golf in
the Federal Court here.
Horkheimer Bros. purchased all of
the assets of the Baer's Sons Grocery
Company from the receiver, Howard
Hazlett, under a decree of the Court
and paid him in cash 1922, SOC.
Afterwards Horkheimer Bros. filed
a petition alleging that under the de-
cree of sale they purchased the goods
of the receiver that had been ordered
by him, but which had not yet been
delivered, and that according to the
decree under which they purchased
they are entitled to have the receiver
deliver the goods to them and pay for
them out of the funds that came into
his hands as receiver.
There are 1900 barrels of sugar and
a lot of -four involved in the contro-
versy, and other minor matters which
aggregate about $25, 900.
The Court partly heard the argu-
ments on the petition and postponed a
further hearing of the matter until a
further date, giving both sides time
and opportunity to file affidavits on the
points involved.
The attorneys for Horkheimer con-
tend hat their bid for the stock and
assets was embodied in the decree of
sale and covered the goods that had
been purchased by the receiver but had
not been delivered.
Horkheimer is represented by Col.
John A. Howard and John ]. Coniff,
while receiver Hazlett is represented
by Henry M. Russell and General AL
fred Caldwell.

Spain being about to sell her other
islands because she can't defend them
is doubtless chuckling over her success
in showing the Philippines off onto
the United States for the neal sum of
$1,000 900. But Spain shouldn't laugh
too soon. That deal isn't consum-
mated yet and the opponents of it in
the Senate are confident of their abil-

A SORRY PREDICAMENT.

Our Republican friends at Charleston
are In a sad, sad qlandary. No matter
which way they turn in their effort to
steal the Legislature and a United
States Senator they are confronted by
q large red flag of warning that they
are on dangerous ground.
They doubtless possess sufficient
nerve to carry out any of the revolu-
tionary schemes proposed for the PR
pose of oveEturning the will of the
people and robbing the legally elected
Democratic majority of it's supremacy.
It isn't their %scrupulous honesty that
troubles them. Bless you, no! They're
rot at all bothered with such an incum-
berance. 1t is the apparent futility of
the proposed crime against the ballot,
the Constitution and the people that
worries them.
For what will it profit them to steal
a United States Senator and then have
the United States Senate refuse to
recognize the legality of his election?
There's the rub.
For, 10 and behold, the Republican
leaders have caucused and nave come
safe to depend upon the illegal votes of
Pierson and Getzendanner to elect a
United States Senator since every
precedent that has ever arisen in Con-
gress has been promptly decided az
versely to their contention by that
body, and it is o likely that at this
late day even a partisan Republican
majority in the United States Senate
would deliberately reverse the
practice of Congress and stultify itself
merely to admit a stolen Senator from
West Virginia. especially since his
vote is not at all necessary to Republi-
can supremacy in that body.
Therefore, not being able to rely
upon the theft of the seats occupied by
Pierson and Getzendanner to carry
them through they are confronted by
the necessity of stealing other seats.
Az HISI SOtlCIlOl NAllS = lASd1C
scheme to Dust all the Democrats in the
Senate regardless, was seriously con-
sidered, especially since it would give
Mr.. Elkins thirteen followers which are
likely to be sadly needed by that states
man when it comes mis- turn to seek
a reelection to the United States Sen
ate two years hence. But a very little
serious reflection and sane counsel
showed the most featherbrained of the
revolutionary gang that this would
never do. Now they have a PROPOSE
ings in the cases of three legally
elected Democrats, Ashby, Kidd and
Marcum. But as there is no question
whatever of the validity of the title o.
any of these gentlemen to his seat
a fact that could easily be proven e
the complete satisfaction of any i'm
partial body; or a committee of thu
United States Senate-the revolution
lists are confronted again with the or
iginal trouble.
No matter which way they turn il
their endeavor to rob the people of thi
State of a United States Senator the.
are confronted with the dead certaint
of being convicted at once and thei
work rendered futile.
Pity the poor political bandits!
They may yet be compelled by shee

is THIS THE PROPER ATTITUDE?

Agoncillo, the Filipino delegate to
Washington, is just now receiving a
round of official snubs which could
hardly be more pronounced if he were
dealing with royalty. He has filed with
the State Department a memorandum
setting forth the contentious of the
Filipinos, which Secretary Hay prompt
ly refused to receive. He asked the
appointment of a date to discuss the
matter with the President, which re-
quest has also been snubbed. no reply
being vouchsafed.
Doesn't it seem rather odd for this
great and free republic to assume this
official attitude toward the representa-
tive of a people struggling for indie
pendence as our own forefathers once
did?
Aguinaldo and his people have a
right to expect at least half way cou--
teous treatment at the hands of the
United States.
And doubtless they would receive it
if the administration were not dominat-
ed by the stockholders who covet the
territory of the Filipinos.
1t is not a pleasant situation for
honest and consistent Americans to
contemplate.
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1899-01-18
THE GAG.

And so the administration has de-
cided to censor" all political news
sent from the Philippines,
In other words, the imperiafists at
Washington will let the American
people know and the American press
publish concerning the situation in the
Philippines only what the aforesaid
imperialists want them to know and
to publish, which, of course, will be
only so much as will suit the imperial
programme of Wall street,
This is imperialism with a ven
geance! The Gar couldn't improve
on it.
1t remains to be seen, however, if
that mighty bulwark of American lib
erty. the American press, can thus be
muzzled. If the President succeeds it
will be the first time it will Eel have
been muzzled and that day will be a
sorry one for the American people.

Subtracting the highest possible
figure for revenues to be got from the
Philippines from the lowest figure for
evenue we lose by taking them inside
our tariff wall, Senator Caffery showed
that we would have a net annual loss
of revenue of SAT, 000, 900.
Thus. said he, there would still be
left over 5000, 600, 900 a year of imper-
ial expenditures raised by new taxa

as the total amount of the great civil

we get it all and pay 5000, 600, 900 a
