InteIIigencer in Wrong.

If what Delegate Moore says is
true about the management of the
state penitentiary, the Wheeling IN
telligencer certainly got in quite
wrong in its condemnation of the gov
ernor for not doing what 1t wantea
done in filling the vacancy caused by
the death of warden Haddox. Tho
position taken by the Intelligencer
on the question and its bitter feel
ing toward Governor Dawson in the
matter are now arresting wide atten-
ton and causing a lot of comment
not altogether favorable to the Intel,
ligen,:er. Here is a sample from the
Charleston Mail:
Perhaps If the Wheeling mtelli-
gencer had known as much about
the management of the state penl-
tertiary as Delegate Moore declared
he knew, 1t would not have grown SO
indignant about the expressed desire
Of Governor Dawson for change in
the wardenship. The Inteiligencer
Is entitled to revise its views in the
premises If 1t desires to get right.

Deserres a speedy DeatIl


The Telegram fully agrees with the
Fairmont West yirginian and the
Grafton Republican that the bill in
troduced in the House of Delegates
of our legislature providing for a re-
peal OF the law which requires the
publication of the financial state
ments of counties and municipali-
ties, ought to be killed as speedily
as possible.
The object of the present law -
not to give public advertisements to
needy newspapers, as some facetious
persons may think, but to throw the
light of publicity around the trans
actions of public officials and let the
people know what becomes of the
public moneys. This is one Of the
best safeguards against graft and
corruption that the State has. Tie
fact OF the matter is, we ough. to
have few more provisions of similat
nature. And the Telegram states this
without consideration OF the fees the
newspapers receive for the advertise
ments. but only in view of the public
welfare and in behalf of strict non.
esty in the administration of our
government.

Tho State Prison Cnsc.

The charges made by Delegate
Moore OF Marshall county against
members OF The penitcntiary board
and some of those connected with the
management of the institution even
more directly than the board itself
are of such serious nature as to de-
lnand the fullest investigation.
Delegate Moore ought to he in i

speaks with considerable warrant. rs
no man could afford to spring such a
sensation without facts upon which
to base it.
The positiyeness he uses in his ut

Blaine as the tattooed man takes rank,
next to several Of Nast's, as perhaps
the most famous cartoon ever printed
in the United States. This c%aricature,
appearing in Puck during the heat Of
the Cleveland Blaine campaign, was
most strongly obnoxious to Blaine be-
cause of the tattoo marks that spelled
out the word bribery" drawn on the
figure representing him. Mr.. Blaine
was dissuaded from prosecuting the
publishers Of Puck only after the
strongest pressure had been brought
to bear to turn him from his resolve.
Curious to relate, Bernard Gillian
was an ardent Republican, voting for
Blaine, and vas suggesting equally
soaring caricatures of Cleveland and
the Democratic party for Puck's rival.
