THE INTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING, MARCH II. 1900.


The general satisfaction expressed
yesterday over the Intellgencer's an
nouncement of the principal details OF
the proposed remodelllng, enlargement
and general improvements Of the Nc
Lure House, on the resumption OF its
management by the owners. ought TO be
encouraging to the two enterprising
brothers. whose energy and personal
popularity insure the completion Of the
work and the success of the Investment.
the other hotels, is one of Wheeling's
landmarks and under good manage
ment has been favorite of the travel
ling public. Its name and fame is not
local. but national, and its friends will
stick closer to 1t than ever when 1t takes
Its legitimate place in the line OF ad-
vancement.
1t may be q pertinent suggestion that
a city of the. Importance which Wheel
ing enjoys Is always known TO visitors
from abroad and the travelling public
in general by Its hotels-thcir accom-
modations, modern equipments, and
appearance. This city has not been be-
hind other cities of its size in excellence
OF entertainment, and when the hotels
take hold and place themselves In the
line Of progress it is good sign Of the
general progress of the whole communi-
t.. This Is true OF c!ty's general ten
dercy In other ways-its new and i'm
proved bank buildings. mercantile es-
Establishments and other business insu-
tu:ioas, modern residences and public
buildings. especially attractive. clean,
capncious and rlodernly equipped mar
kct houses. Wheeling is on the right
track in all save the last mentioned I'm
p-ovcment. It is indicative OF big
future. II those who have capital to in
vest. who control the great amount of
idle money in the banks. will join the
procession. and help TO secure that fu-
ture by the investment in new indus
tries aside from those upon which the
city now wholly depends, and develop
the community into busy hive OF di-
versified interests. requiring investment
OF comparatively small capital. yet con-
tributing TO its wealth and population
and trade and commercial Importance.
There Is an open field for Wheeling in
this respect. She has only TO take pos

4 Disturbed Canital City.

Evidence multiplies that Charleston
people are much stirred up over the
starting Of the movement to remove
the state capital at more central
point. The newspapers down there and
the Charleston correspondents for the
comment on 1t, and all sorts of schemes
are being suggested to make Charleston
more desirable point. in local sense
for the capital. II the agitation does no
more good than to inspire the Charles
tonlans with more local enterprise 1t
will have performed some service
A Charleston correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enqirer congratulatcs him
self that the flood didn't come while the
legislature was in session, as under
present circumstances the members
would have undoubtedly voted to take
the state house to Parkcrsburg. because
a complete suspension of public bust
ness and the adjournment OF the legis-
lature would have been necessary for
several days The Parltersburgers
very pertinently reply to this BY saying
that the argument is just as good now
as 1t would be under the conditions
named by the correspondent.
a Charleston paper is agitating the
question OF the construction OF levees to
protect the city from the floods OF the
Elk and Kanawha rivers. an expensive
undertaking that would plunge the
town hopclcssly In debt for great
number of years. and Interfercd with
traffic on thcr!vcrs. OF course this Is an
othtr anti-rcmoval plan, but when 1t Is
discouraged by the Charleston Gazette
leading newspaper organ, It stands
little show. The only way TO protect
the capitol building from the devasta-
ton by the turbulent waters Is to move
It. This and other property OF the state
need to be in safe place and more
convenient location.

Her Awful Mistake.

A short time since the daughter Of a
millionaire drove up to the door Of a
jewelry store. went in and selected u
torquoise and diamond ring valued at
80 pounds. She made out her check for
that sum and passed IT. to the assistant.
The alert young man glanced Mt It and
then looked inquirilgiy up at the young
lady and said:
There Is some mistake here, l think"
The young lady flushed and asked II
the check was not for the right amount.
She was told 1t was, but
But what?" she exclaimed, frigidly.
DO you mean that my check is not ac-
ceptable"
The assistant acknowledged that he
knew quite well who the young lady
was, but explained that the check was
not made out just as 1t should be. And

Reckless Statements Corrected.

I
Some Democratic papers In the state
have been commenting on State Treas
urer Kendall's statements regarding a
probable deficit in the state fund in 1900
on account Of the excessive appropria-
lions by the legislature, without provd-
Ing additional revenues, and In doing so
they draw on Il lengthy editorial from
! the Register of recent date, which
garbled and misreprcscnted Mr.. Ken
dali and made some reckless assertions.
The public is thereby being deceived.
There are two or three instances Of
quotations from our contemporaries at
tempt to make n party matter out of q
situation which both parties might
be held responsible for. One of them is
the comment on the treasurer's state
mcnt that he saw nothing wrong in the
bill removing the s5OOO.OOO limit on cor
porations chartered by the state. The
Register declared that Mr.. Kendall, in
common with al! Republicans, wanted
to encourage trusts. Had the Register
posted itself on the authorship of that
bill 1t would not have uttered some
thing which will react upon its own
SIDE in partisan sense.
The truth Is that the bill alluded to
was introduced and championed by
Senator Kidd, that same Democratic
senator, whose craftsmanship, patriot
ism and unimpeachable integrity the
Register lauded TO the skies when 1t
feared that the wicked Republicans
would unseat him. Here is one of the
Registers chickens coming home, to
roost" already. We do not expect It to
make the correction and undecelve Its
deluded readers.
Another Of these statements was
that senate bill No. 10, known as the
omnibus bill taxing corporations, was
cratic house in time for 1t to take ac-
ton on it. But the Register did not tell
it all; had 1t done so it would have
stated that this same bill was intro
duced in the house by Delegate Zinn of
Richie county, and that 1t was smoth-
cred to death in the committee room,
very early in the session.
In connection with the express COM
pany bill vetoed by the governor, which
the Register says would have produced
revenue, and that the governor Is there
fore responsible for much OF the possible
deficit. the Register ought 10 know that
this bill provided O tax on the incomes
of the express companies, and that un-
| der section 4 of article l. OF the state
constitution, all the proceeds or taxes
on the revenues of all corporations shall
be applied to the irreducble school
fund. which fact would prohibit any
| benefit TO the state fund.
These points are made merely to call
attention Of some of our Democratic
contemporaries to the manner in which
they are misled by their state organ.
