THE INTELLEGENcER,
WHEELING. MARCH &C, 1900.
M Freer,s Withdrawal.

Now that the Hon. Romeo h. Freer
has formally Withdrawn from the gu
befnatorlal race, in a statement over
his own signature, the Intelligencer is
free to say that he has much more to
blame on lis reputed friends for his
withdrawal than on those who were
accused Of being opposed to him. In
the first place. we do not believe that
Mr.. Freer was moved, to make the race
OF his own volition. but was prevailed
upon TO enter the contest against his
best Judgment and desires.
secondly. after he entered the Aght
his supporters accused those who did
not support him of being allied with
what they were pleased to term the
ring" and did all they could to alien
nte Republicans from agreeing with
them that Mr.. Freer was the most
available candidate. They talked about
"dissenslons" in the party. and blamed
the responsibility for growing animosi-
ties within the ranks OF the party upon
those persons who were supporting Mr.
White. They even went so far as to
accuse some of Mr.. Whites friends
with coldH and flendishly working Mr.
Freer's undoing But it Is now time to let
all these matters pass into oblivion.
What the Republican party in West
Virginia needs to-day is harmony-har-
mony with big H-a spirit Of eonces-
sion, instead of dissension.
Mr. Fraer has the Intelligencer's cor
dial good wishes for his future. His
statement is manly. and written in a
spirit that cannot be mistaken. He is
4 man of brilliant parts. and we hops
to hear mis- eloquent voice upllfted fire.
quently in the campaign in behalf Of
the principles Of the party we know he
loves with all the intensity OF his en-
thuslastic nature.
As the Intelngancer. though frequent-
ly misrep.esanted and misunderstood,
has said before. 1t has no candidate
for governor but the nominee Of the
convention. The names of many able
and highly qualified gentlemen have
been mentioned as likely to contest
with Mr.. White for the nomination, any
one Of whom 1t would be pleasure foT
the Intelllgencer to support in the event
OF his selection by the state conven-
ton,

With all due respect to Mr.. Golden,
Of Kentucky, who on Saturday testi-
fed to all manner OF atrocities con-
.templated by the Republicans Of that
state. including the assassination Of
Goebel. and duplicating Governor Tay-
Tor in the conspiracy. the Intelligencer
begs leave to doubt his story-tO put y
mildly.
His recital reads like the vision of a
diseased mind. 1t is Inconcelvable that
such things as he testlhes to were con-
templated in the remotest degree by
Governor Taylor or any other proml-
nent Republican in Kentucky. Mr.. Col
den few days ago repudlated utter
ances attributed to him. saying he was
intoxicated, and was talking through
his hat" Now that he has his hat of

play Emphatcally we do not credit

particulars.

A Deserved Tribute.

Huntington Herald: The death of
George A. Huntington, at one time edi-
tor of the Wheeling Intelllgencar. Will
cause deep regret. particularly among
newspaper men throughout this state.
He belonged to that distinct class OF
Journalists that safely and strongly
builds It's reputation on breadth OF view
and loyalty to principle. He was con-
sentative In style, and brushed aside all
glitter and show for the plain and I'M
affected expression OF good Ideas. he
was least calculated to please that ele-
ment in his party always demanding
Journalistic blood and red fire. He
founded his work more wisely, and by
reason Of this wisdom commanded in
fluence and respect throughout the
state. His example is worthy Of emu
lation by the best OF us.

American Merchan. Marine.

The shipping bill which is pending in.
Congress is causing our Democratic
friends a great deal OF distress. but that
1t is popular measure is assured from
the many evidences that are springing
up in Its favor. Senator Frye, in an
other column, discusses Its features and
completely squashes the objections ad-
vanced by the free traders A cry
comes from the fnr Pacific coast that
should be needed. relating as 1t does to
the farming interests Of the country
The Tacoma Washington Ledger, in
: recent .sspe. in considering the ship
ping conditions in that section OF the
country, remarks that ut is evident
that some action is necessary in order
to benefit farmers and shippers, to in
crease the supply OF tonnage, and that
is the object OF the subsidy bill, to in
crease American tonnage. That Is Just
what the subsidy bill is Intended to do
and would do. 1t would Increase the
number of American ship yards as well
as of American ships, and the Increased
tonnage would have the effect OF re-
duclng freight rates to farmers and
other producers and shippers sufficient
ly to pay their share of the increased
tax hundreds of times over.
THE American Association Of Manu-
facturers, who. next to the farmers.
are most interested in low freight rates
on exports. are heartily in favor of the
passage OF the subsidy bill. from the
belief. no doubt, that 1t would be of
benefit to them in the way of reducing
frelghts. They assert that the manu-
facturers of the United States want
quicker. cheaper and more regular
transportation to many foreign mar
kets; which they now reach only by
lines owned abroad and operated with
out regard to American interests. We
want American lines OF steamships
which win carry our goods to South
America, to South Africa, to Austral-
asia and to the Orient upon terms as
advantageous as arc enjoyed by our
English and German competitors
"Whatever will be to the advantage
Of American manufacturers will be
equally advantageous to American
farmers"

RRITIsH COLuNIRIA.

1t is expected that the furnaces of the
CRANKY smelter at Grand Forks will
be blown in tomorrow or Friday. The
yesterday.
1t is authoritatively learned that the
Canadian Pacific smelter at Trail, b.
C., is to be enlarged at once to more
than double its present capacity, max
ing it able to handle about 1900 tons
OF ore per day.
The first shipment of ore from the
lie Roi No, 2 mines was made to the
Northport smelter last week. 1t con-
sisted of four carloads from the No 2.
All preparations are being made for
regular shipments from that mine.
In July the st. Eugene Consolidated
Mining Company paid out in wages
$25, 400. This is the largest sum ever
paid out by the company in a single
month. In May it's payroll was ST.
600 and in June $21 900. The increas-
ing monthly pay-rolls of this company
are having a telling effect on the town,
which is in a healthy and prosperous
condition. Business in all lines is ex-
ceedingly brisk and the hotelmen and
merchants especially are reaping a
harvest.
Contracts have been made between
the ROssland Great Western Mining
company and the Canadian Rand Drill
company for the purchase of a 40-drill
DISQUALIFICATION air compressor, to
be delivered within five months, and
with the West Kootenay Power and
Light company for electric power to
operate the machine. The contract for
the electric motor which will have 500
horse power, will probably be let to-
morrow. The compressor is to be an
exact duplicate of the one just complet-
ed at the Black Bear, but without the
steam cylinder. This machinery will
be installed on the Nickel Plate fiat
between the boiler house and the mine
1t will be connected with the other two
machines on the Black Bear ground by
| pipe lines, so that any or all of the
three can supply power to any of the
British America corporation mines
| When this machine is installed the
nominal capacity of the British Ameri-
ca corporation compressors will be 120
drills, but the actual capacity will be
nearer $50 drills, for in large mines
all the drills are not in operation at
the same time and the number which
can be operated is thus increased in
proportion.

Drowned While Bathing.

Cape May, n. j., Aug. 2l.-Ellen
Young, Salina Newhouser and Albert j.
Schwab, all of Philadelphia, were drowned
in the surf at Cape May point today.
1ney were bathing and got beyond their
depth. Schwab made a noble effort to
save his companions, holding their uncon-
scious bodies above the water for some
time. Just as a boat which went to their
rescue reached his side he loosened his
grasp on the women and sunk out of
sight. The women were taken ashore,
and although the usual methods for re-
suscitating drowning people were resorted
to, they could not be brought back to
life. Schwab's body has not yet been
recovered.

MINING NOTES.

The Antelope claim on Fifteen Ellie
creek, owned by John Hill and r. E.
Lee, of Colville, is attracting consider
able attention on account of its copper
showing, which is improving with ev-
cry shot.
Eighty carloads of machinery for the
Sweeny syndicate are said to be on the
road and expected to arrive soon at
Sites, Idaho, from which place it will
be taken to the Hump over the new
wagon road by way of Badger.
Seats in the Colorado City mining
exchange have advanced from 1925 to
1880 within a period of two years,
and Colorado City is not a mining dis
trict nor are there any great mines
adjacent.
The final cleanup of the Sterlin mine
in eastern Oregon, for the season, was
completed last week and amounted to
1900 ounces. The entire amount taken
