One Objection.

Parkersburg State journal: In an
other column the Weston Independent
gives Judge Henry Brannon. Of the SUI
premo court, pretty clean bill OF
health from Republican standpoint.
There is no question Of Judge Bran
mons ability and clear-headedness. and
IL the Republican state convention is
willing to follow the suggestion OF the
Independent the Intelligencer will be
in hearty accord with that decision
wheeling Jutelligencet
Judge Brannon is splendid official,
and there is only one reason he should
not be nominated by the Republicans.
1t would be rather hard on the thou
sand able Republican attorneys of this
state, who have worked for their party
all their lives. and some OF whom no
doubt would be pleased to have a place
on the bench of the supreme court, to
say there is none Of them who can have
this office.

rhe Refunding Ordinance

The Intelllgencer calls the attention of
its readers to the very able exposition
OF the refundIng ordinance by Senator
whitaker. in another column OF this
issue. and commends his remarks to
their thoughtful attention, It is plain
statement of the case from u business
standpoint, and contains some convInc-
ing reasons why the ordinance should
be adopted. Its rejection would be a
blunder.
The ordinance Is no hasty pudding
affair. It received the studIous atten-
tlon of the committee the better part
Of the past year, and It was not pre-
scented to council until the interests Of
the city and the Taxpayers were thor
oughly sateguarded. 1t is not a politi-
cai measure in any sense. To relieve 1t
OF the least possible political slgnii-
cameo a special committee was selected
by council consisting Of three Demo-
Gratis and three Republicans. namely
Mayor A. II. Sweeney, John Water
house, A. horn, and James P. Maxwell,
A. E. Ma.shner, NJ. A. Chew. After
these thoroughly competent gentlemen
had framed the ordinance to make sure
that they we're proceeding In legal
manner they obtained the written ohln-
Ions OF two eminent lawyers, who gave
1t the stamp OF their approval. Fur
thermOre. when the measure was sub
mitted to council. it received the unan-
imous vote Of both branches
Mt meeting attended by n
larger number OF members than was
usual, and 1t is submitted to the peo-
pie as non-partlsan business PROPOSE
tlon.
The rcfundlng features of the Ordl-
nance arc measures that would be
adopted By any business man placed In
the same position tho city finds itself.
Tho debt VIII be placed at u much lower
rate OF interest, and the bonds VIII I'M
doubtedly bring handsome premium.
Obligations Of the city amounting TO
$50, 900, known us the compromise loan,
arc due in July. and there is no money
to discharge the debt It must be paid.
If not through the measures provided
by the refundinG ordinance, then 1t
must bo met by taxation. 1t also pro-
vIdes for the payment Of the electric
light loan. $4,000. which was too small
an amount to be refunded. Eight thou
snnd dollars Of this amount WIN be- paid
next year. and tho remainder in 1902.

The Register had bad case Of double
loaded rabies yesterday. which wound
up with a black type spasm over what
It processes to believe was an attack on
its integrity by the Intelllgencer. The
Register Of late has been reckless in
charging acts to the friends of the re-
funding ordinance which were wholly
untrue. 1t has wantonly impugned the
motives Of the advocates Of that meas
urc. 1t has also by implication and d.
rect assertion questioned the honesty
OF every one connected with the incep-
ton Of the ordinance. Its course has
impressed the public at large as being
without rhyme or reason, and being SO
free in its baseless charges the Intelll-
gencer was moved to make the follow
ing observations, to which 1t objects:
We do not undertake to supply the mo-
tive which prompts the Registers vicious
attacks, or to correct It's inconsistencies
which are only too apparent. but we DO
undertake to say that when 1t gives utter
ance 10 the following. "The whole city
machine and the regiment OF paid heelera
besides, are working like beavers Tor the
refunding ordnance 1t behOOVes citizens
and taxpayers generally to protect them

without qualification or excuse. ON tho
contrary, II there Is any unusual activity
with regard to this ordinance 1t Ia being
generated by the opposition to the measure
and II any money is being used the ReGls-
ter, or the writer who Is allowed to roam
over its editorial columns every day with
o zeal worthy OF a better cause, Is baSking
in the enjoyment Of its distribution.
We trust this Is plain enough.
twill be observed that twas the Reg
lister that made the first suggestion as
to the use of money with reference to
the refunding ordinance. There cer-
talnly are no 'heelers" employed to ex.
plolt the beauties Of the ordinance, but
the lncessant outcry the Register has
made in the matter and It's unusual
activity in opposing the ordinance has
caused some comment as to its anImus,
and its course is stIll matter of won
derment.
Considering Itself accused Of what It
so vehemently accuses others, 1t makes
the following bluff:
The Register hereby offers to give 1000
10 my CNHElLuDle IHEtltuLlOn tnuL may DC
selected II the Intelllgencer will produce
an iota Of substantial evidence on which
81 based this vile insinuRtion against the
Register, providing that the Intelllgcncer
Will forfeit the same. amount 10 be donat-
cd to the same purpose n II fails to make
its word good in this respect.
Tho InteilIgencer never said that the
Register was paid. Neither did 1t say
that any money was being used; 1t was
the Register that made these false
charges against the friends of the ordl-
nance. and the 1ntelllgencer suggested
that IF any money was aHoat that the
Registers course laid 1t open to sus-
,plclon. That paper must understand
that It cannot recklessly lmpugn the
honesty and integrity Of others without
creating the impression that It is judg-
ing others by Its own standard OF
morals.

The Business Situation.

The financial situation OF the country
is now in a very satisfactory state. The
most important development Of the
week was the capitalization Of the
gold standard into law. This. however,
had no appreclable effect on the stock
market or financial centers, as such ac-
tlon was anticipated. Henry clews in
his weekly letter reviewing affairs on
Wall street remarks that ever since
the defeat OF sllverism prices have been
gradually rising largely IN consequence
OF that event: so not much additional
stimulus can be found in the mere for
maiity of putting into legislative form
a decision reached nearly four years
ago. Nevertheless, It is an important
step gained; and there win
now be no backward movement to-
wards silverlsm, the opposition to which
has been finally crystalllzed into law.
General conditions Affecting the mar
ket continue favorable. The railroad
situation is emlnently satisfactory. Ac-
cordIng to the Chronicle IS roads re-
ported earnings Of S5O.7OO,OOO in ,Janu-
airy; which, considering the gains of
previous years, was remarkable. The
even distribution Of these gains proved
