OF the discovery of pay placer along

county taxpayers unworthy Of consid-
Grafton?
THE

Those Democrats who are railing so
loud against the present re-assessment
of course have no recollection of Cover
nor Jackson's famous re-assessment order
farmers humble chicken coop.-Intelli-
gencer.
Are you defending the late reassess-
ment in Ohio county, which added four
millions to the taxable value of the
county, to remain for ten years to
come? If so, say so. The voice of
the Intelligencer has not yet been
heard in protest against the action Of
the assessors, in criticism of the tutel-
ege given them by the Board of County
Commissioners, which was to finally
pass on the assessors work, Or upon
the secret sessions Of the Board. 1t
has not even praised the action of the
State Board, which made a horizontal
reduction, through the efforts of the
Democratic member from Ohio county.
The Intelligencer evidently believes
that people are prosperous in direct
ratio to the size of their tax bills, and
it would like to see the total of Ohio
county forty millions instead of twenty.
Large tax bills mean lots If money
for the gang, and the Intelligencer gets
its share of the plumber. There is the
secret. The taxpayer isn't in it.

Know all men by these presents that
the Wheeling Intelligencer, worship
per of William Mckinley, by virtue Of
the trusts and corporations President
of the United States, and abject fol-
lower of Mark Hanna, VINO is greater
than Mckinley, is unhappy. 1t gen
orally is in that mental condition, but
just now its trouble is more pronounc-
ed than usual. This stage is usually
indicated when the I~ntelligencer vocif-
erously asserts that somebody is crazy,
or is afflicted with paresis, when it ap-
plies the epithet of liar in varied forms,
or when it offers to gamble. These
things are evidences direct that ii has
been caught by somebody in an at
tempt to mislead, misinform or hood
wink the public. The symptoms are
as clearly defined as those of collie in
an infant or mental responsibility IN
n of weak mind. There are some
things in this world which call for
sympathy and coincidence rather than
criticism or ridicule. Among them are
the utterings of the immature. OF the
irresponsible, of the wholly depraved,
the pereginations of the somnambulist,
the petty thieving of the kleptomaniac,
the technically unlawful acts of the
degenerate, and the bald assertion of
Republican newspapers of the Intelli-
Eencer stripe. These deserve our pity
and our reformitory efforts, but scarce
ly our 1t is easy for some
people TO be good; it is even easier for
others to be wicked. To those labor
ing under error we should extend a
faults. Mendacity and prevarication
and an Unborn and hereditary tendency
TO mislead and misinform are perhaps
the most common forms OF malforma-
ton in the human character, and when
they happen to be united with a stud
led intent to give to the public a
biased, p%rejudiced and distorted view
of things political, and this original
mental inclination is pursued until the
delusions become fixtures in the edi-
torial mind, then we have conditions
calling for clemency rather than CEN
sure and for pity instead of criticism.
The I~ntelligencer has reached this
stage. From the high standard of ex-
cellence it once was entitled to under
the guidance of the man who carried
his sovereignty under his hat, and
whose statements were broad, liberal,
fair and honest, it has descended by
stages well marked and rapid to the
level of a shifty, hide-bound, Pharisa-
ical and subservient organ of a coterie
of political bosses, willing and ready
at any time to stultify itself, to ignor
the teachings and traditions of its

party, to falsify its own record, and
to maltreat It's news service In its anx-
iety to perpetuate the maladministra-
ton In city and county and State and
nation which it represents and for
which il stands. TO pin it down to
any statement or assertion is to at
|, tempt the impossible. 1t says n
thing one day, and the next, when
criticized, asserts that 1t meant some
thing entirely different, and proves it
by an unwarranted and violent para
phrase of its previous declaration. Like
the Irishman's flea, when you put your
finger on it, it isn't there. But the
clamor of it's ranting offends the pub
lie peace and quiet, and its bald as
sertions constitute a stencil to the nos
trils.
To go into details is scarcely worth
the trouble. A simple case in point,
however, will be sufficient. 1t is that
of the three Utah delegates to the Re-
publican National Convention, who
were reported to have contributed
$4,000 each to the Republican cam
paign fund, this through the medium
of some of the ultra Republican papers
or the Intelligencer stripe. Mark
Hanna promptly denied the story,
saying the Utah delegates had contrib
uted nothing, and yet, after this
authorized and authentic disclaimer,
the Intelligencer, in It's edition of
Tuesday morning last, in it's editorial
columns, took pains to convey the i'm
preston that the report was true,
cloaking the statement under the
phrase that the three delegates ARE re-
ported to have guaranteed that Utah's
contribution to the cause of expansion
will be double that given to free sill
ver's aid" The three delegates were
not reported to have guaranteed any
thing of the sort. They were reported
to have sent their individual checks
for $4,000 each, and this the Intelli-
gencer well knew, as it well knew of
the prompt denial. But it preferred to
mislead and misinform it's readers, and
when called to account by the Regis
ter retorts with mingled abuse and Eek
PLANTATION" and additional false asser-
ton.
What is to be done in a case such
as this? Simply nothing. 1t defies all
rules, and is past all remedy. The
hopelessly %depraved are past reforma-
ton.

New York Journal.
We regret TO observe that the Journal
has been the innocent means of stirring
up considerable trouble in the Republican
party. When we asked General Grosve-
nor to write something about the Phila
delphia Convention we knew it could not
help being interesting, but we could not
foresee how extremely interesting it
was actually going TO be.
General Grosvenor announced through
the Journal that the most important
plank in the Republican platform-the
one stating the party doctrine on the SUI
preme issue of the power of Congress over
the territory of the United States-after
being drawn up and approved by the
President, had been "drivelled out by a
driveller from New York" who had
charge of the formulation of the resolu-
lions in the subcommittee. He added
that another very important plank-that
on aid to merchant shipping-had been
mutilated by the same person.
The "driveller from New York" was no
less a parsonage than the illustrious
Quigg. Quigg resented General Grosve-
nor's charges, and d controversy has been
raging ever since. Whatever may be de-
cided as to the technical merits of Mr..
Quigg's defense there seems to be no
doubt hat somebody-whether Quigg or
a committee is im~material-has overruled
the President and his closest friends. and
that the Republican party is entering the
campaign with what these leaders regard
as a mutilated and cowardly platform in
which the party's doctrines are not ex-
pressed. All OF which is extremely sad.

Vice Presidential Candidate Roose-
welt appears to be greatly impressed
with the necessity of doing much work
in the tSate of New York, and has an
nounced that after August goth he will
put in three solid weeks of hard work

indicates some anxiety as to the out
come. To read Republican papers one
would imagine the Governor Of New
York would speak exclusively n West
Virginia and Kentucky and Indiana,
and Ohio, and Illinois, and other doubt
full States.

How They Love the People.

Boston Herald.
The argument for a protection tariff Is
based by its sly promoters IN its benefit
to the workers. But the workers are the
bulk of the onsume of the country,
and a large part of them are now en-
ployed in making high-cost goods for
themselves and cheap goods for foreign
ers. Americans are required to pay more
than a fair profit OF what they use in
order that the manufacturers may sell
the excess of production at cost or less
than cost TO foreigners. and so make a
great show OF increasing the export trade.
OF course, If a manufactures, by the OPP
GRAFTON of partial laws. can force the
ARerican market TO pay IN the half OF

whole production. he can well afEord to
export the half not reuoired for home
consumption at lower prices than It can
be produced for here or abroad and grow
rich easily, while the government can
make a great show of statistics of export
ed merchandise. The p%retence that 1t IS
profitable for American workingmen to
pay a large part of the cost OF feeding
and clothing foreign competitors is one OF
the humbugs by which the protected in
terests are fattened.
