Sir-If the Intelligencer would use
more of its space explaining to the
people who Mrs. Bratton is and why
she was given a government Office
placed to the credit of Moundsville, 1t
might be released from the necessity
of filling the paper with falsehoods
about "frosts" at the Demo-
cratic meetings. We know the
Democratic meetings are too hot
for the comfort of that paper. No
one believes their report except it may
be some person who reads no other,
and that person would be a freak.

ask its readers II they have been to

AMERICAN MEDIATION.

The request OF the Chinese Government
for President Mckinley to mediate with
the foreign Powers is a most extraordinary
policy from several standpoints. In the
first place It seems a similar request was
made to all the other foreign Powers. And
though it seemed at first as if every one
would disregard il. Yet NJ. Delcasse, of the
French Government, has framed a reply,
rs ALSO has Mr.. Mckinley. Il is highly
probable, IN view of the present inforIna-
zion as TO the death of the foreign resi-
dents, that the request for mediation is as
untrue we fear Prince Shens's tele-
graphic statements OF the ministers safety
will prove to be. However, 1t is true that
the Emperor, kwans Hsu. did represent
the progressive part of China, and If ne is
still alive. it will be 10 him, or some adviser
who is close to him, that the foreign Pow
ers will have to look if they hope 10 pre-
serve the integrity of China A strong mo-
tive, indeed, one that appears TO us TO be
oyerpowering in its weight, Should drive
the American Government to such an end,
for We do not wish to have TO keep and
net. and it will be obviously impossible for
America 10 compete with the rest of the
world for the Chinese trade if spheres of
influence are to be kept and prohibiive
tariff made effective for the benefit of
German, French or Russian manufacture
ers.
In the far distant future there may
dawn a reign OF peace. when the yellow.
black and white races shah all live to-
Eether in unison. But FOR some genera
ITEMS there is little doubt but that the
peace Of the world Will be bought with
hood and iron And while such is the
cas-. the spirit OF commercial greed that
has actuated The European mind for Il cen
fury will not allow any peaceful vision
Of the spoil which the statesman. 70 less
than the people. believe TO be offered by
China.
III the Emperor IS still alive. President
Mckinley will have a good reason 40 ask
earnest consideration Of our claims at The
hands of the Chinese Governmen, f the
Chinese Government remains in the m
psror's hands.
II the whole affair turns out 10 be only
another deception, the situation will NOT be
materially changed from what il Is TO-DAY
except that President Mckinley will have
been taken in. while the revolutionary
party gained tina for further preparations
against Europe and America.

NORFOLK, VA, July 26.-The case of
Tom S. Carter, colored, who sues the Nor

Chancery Court here to-day.
Carter was shot by Special officer Frank
Barron last spring, necessitating the am
puta alton of his right leg Later the rail-
way company set up in their defense
that Barron. who shot Carter while he
was alleged to be trespassing on the depot
grounds, was a sworn officer of the State
for whose acts they, the railway company,
were not responsible
Barron alleged that Carter drew knife
on him and was about to cut him when he
shot him in self-defense.
1t came out in the trial that Garter was
shot from behind, and no weapon was
found on him.
Barron has been severely censured by
the public.
