( . WHEELING, JANUARY 18. 1900. < = 1 To Veet in This City. Chairman Dawson, of the Repub iic&n State Central committee, baa called a meeting of that body, to be held ' In Wheeling on February 21, to decide ( on a date and the place for holding the 1 next state convention. The selection of ' the-date for the meeting In this city 1 was a happy one, as It will be on the 1 eve of "Dewey Day," and naturally, ( with the large crowd of visitors that 1 will be in the city at that time, there 1 will' be many prominent Republicans 1 from different sections of the state < among them, and with whom, no doubt, the members of the committee will be ' glad:, to confer. 1 Now that it Is known that the committee will meet here it behooves the Republicans of the city to bring their ' influence to bear in inducing the com- ' mlttee to select Wheeling as the place 1 for the state convention. The chamber ' of commerce will meet to-morrow night f to appoint a committee to appear be- 1 ' fope the State Central committee to 1 urge the claims of this city. The 1 Intelligencer does not urge the 1 matter in any selfish spirit, but 1 pdrely on the groundB of jus- 1 tlce and fairness. It has been! a long 1 time since Wheeling has had the honor J olr entertaining a Republican state con- ' vej\tlon, although our Democratic frleAds have twice selected this place within a few years. If the Judgment of { the committee favors another city, well and good, but we think the claims of Wheeling can be placed in such a light 1 to convince tho members of that body 1 that it Is "our turn." ' In this connection the Charleston ' Mail Tribune has the following: The fact that movements are on foot to hare the West Virginia League ] Of Republican Clubs hold a meeting In . Wheeling, Friday. February 23, the day following "Dewey Day" celebra- 1 Hon. coupled with the fact a call Is likely to be Issued for a meeting of j the Republican state central committee , at the same place, shows that the Re puoucan party orguniztuiuji m uud state is ready to line up for the b&ttle of 1900. The committee meeting will decide upon a date and place for holding the state convention, and will probably be at Wheeling, February 21. The Wheeling people are also making an effort to have the convention come to that city. There may be other places that will exercise the same laudable ambition, but to the great mass of voters almost any place will do. The main point Is the work the convention will do. and the placing In the fleld of a strong ticket. The good sense of the Republican voters and delegates may *>e safely relied upon to do this. It is true that the party Is in good shape in both state and nation, In each case the work of the administrations being clean, business-like and progressive. When the time comes when the Republicans have thrown down the gage of battle and the Democracy picks It up, they will And upon what Impregnable j ground the Republican party is entrenched. Petti grew Smoked Out. Those public men who are opposed to (he Philippine war are not sincere in { their profesflions, and their hollow ( mockery of sympathy with the "poor, , oppressed followers of Aguinaldo" is 1 Tartufflan in the extreme. All of the { resolutions of inquiry introduced in Congress were not inspired solely for information, but were framed to harass f the administration, and. if possible, to | get an lsque for the Issueless Demo- , cratic party. Senator Pettlgrew's reso- ( lutlon was only an "open door" for him to pour forth his bile and vlllify the President. His inquiry professed to ask for Informntton concerning the outbreak of the Filipino Insurrection, but In reality asked for only a certain Amount of Information. He did not want the whole truth, but only that part which would serve his purpose. But Pettlgrew was effectually blocked In his purpose by Senator Lodge's nnvndm*?nt which called for all the correspondence bearing on the government's relations with the Filipinos. But this discredited Dakot&n insisted that the Filipinos were In some way deceived an to the Intentions of the United States, which, of course. Is not true. The Information alreudy before the public shows conclusively that the administration at no time contemplated setting up u Philippine republic, nor In any way recognised the existence of any so-called republic. The President's order of May 19, 1898, to the commander of the military expedition to Manila, directed him to declare to tftw Filipinos that the Americans came not to make car upon them, but "to protect them in <hetr homes, their employments, and th(4r personaS and rell?l<??H rights." "The only question of h v. r Itfnty In the Philippines," says thu Chicago fnt(r-Ocnn. "was between the United ?l States and Spain. That question was th lettled by the treaty of Parti. That K there might be no doubt In the minds R jf the natives, the commander at Han- n< lla was directed on August 17, 1888. that si "there must be no Joint occupation," D uid that all muat recognise tne au- pi thortty of the United Btatei. General lu Dili waa directed on December 21, 1198, I to declare the extension of American a sovereignty to all parta of the lalanda d< by virtue of the treaty of Parta. and te "to announce and proclaim In the moat public manner that we come not aa Invader* and conqueror*, but aa frlenda." ol He waa alao admonlahed to uae every K poaalble meana to avert a conflict with In the natlvea. No chance In thla pro- A clamatlon waa made by General Otla. Ms term* as to'sovereignty were ao definite that the day It waa published in ri Manila Agulnaldo laaued a manifesto la Jeclaring that he never agreed to recog- cc nlie American sovereignty, and protesting againat General Otla' signing himself military governor. This dlaposes of Pettlgrew"s claim that Otla di endeavored to deceive the Filipinos as 10 to American policy. Commissioners appointed by Aguinaldo met every day in January with commissioners appointed hl by Otis to discuss a scheme of govern- G tnent and American sovereignty. 01 Two days before the senate- was to . rote upon the treaty Aguinaldo declared war against the United States, and ?. tils troops attacked the American lines. The Philippine commission, on arriving In the Islands, repeated and amplified the President's preceding orders and w proclamations, asserting the sovereign- y< ty of the United States over the ' isl- J J1 inds and again assuring the people that ( the amplest self-government compat- n< ible with the rights and obligations of 01 the United Statej would be granted them. The Tagal leaders knew from the beginning the attitude of this gov- ai jrnment and were never deceived, how- bi ?ver much they deceived their unfor tunate followers." jn , ai The Crisis in Kentucky. J* The situation Jn Kentucky Is quite critical through the evil persistence of pi 3oebel In pursuing a course calculated 81 to bring on a bloody strife. It will cer- {[J tainly be a day of wrath for Kentucky ig should this political revolutionist sue- pi ceed in beguiling the legislature to.de- h| clsre him . to have been the rightfully ? sleeted governor. The action of Qoe- w del is monstrously Impudent. The con- t* test inaugurated by the defeated can- ^ ildate for governor is in the hands of gg Goebel's tools, the proceedings being conducted in an arbitrary manner and n( tntirely without regard to law. The JJJ objections of the Republicans to the hi contest proceedings and the reasons' ce why they are Illegal are that the Democratic members of the legislature, with J i few exceptions, had their minds made v( up, and were commltteed In advance U i>f the filing of the conteBt to vote to e) seat uoeoei ana occniiam, umt uiv committees trying: the contests are t)i fraudulently constituted and can have cJ no Just powers, because of the fraudulent manner in which they were drawn, |0 is charged by the Republicans, and not tfr ienied by Clerk Leigh; that the time nl lllowed for taking evidence is so short as to practically amount to a denial to the contestants of the right to prove their cases, and that the refusal to ac:ept depositions as evidence operates in J the same manner. .re According to this reasoning the cose Is brought, Governor Taylor's attorneys B< claim, within some of the inhibitions t0 at the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States. J?; The Democrats who opposed Goebel In the late election have issued an ap- tti peal, which does not mince matters. It a' truthfully recites that the Democratic tl] nartv has been out In the position of an snemy to the public peace and a men- P< ice to popular Institutions, with a rec- h 3rd of unparalleled outrages during the past year. The appeal continues to say: "If the people of Kentucky speak directly to their representatives, in com- ){] mandlng tones, they may yet save the hi state and the party from irretrievable lisaster and unexampled disgrace * * [f you are still loyal to the platform of ? 1896 and desire this year to give your si candidate for President the electoral irote of Kentucky, you must not permit the political desperadoes in control of the Democratic caucus at Prankfort to ss make the party responsible for the acHon of the reckless leaders now in control of the legislature." hi But we do not believe this will have uiy effect on Qoebel and his satellites bl In crime. We presume he poses in Kentucky Uke McGraw did in West Vir * " ? nrnikrv* tn Kpn gllllO, OIIU oioncn w r>??v..v tucky a republican form of government." These able tricksters In polklcs Ba have funny Ideas sometimes. i hi Though showing smaller gains alike In volume and percentage than in re- Jj1 :ently preceding months, the gross rail- m' way earnings report to Bradstreet's for tli the month of December Is a quite favor- tti able one. Briefly summarised, it lndi- ot cates that 104 roads, operating about 100.000 miles of road, uhow aggregate' IFroRS receipts of 156,396.942, a gain of 7.6 per cent over December, 1898, and following progressive gains over preced- th ing Decembers for several years past. m ggjj cc The record or rauroaa rcccivcrsmpB m luring the year 1899 shows a gratifying w Jlmlnutlon. Only ten roads passed uniler the care of the courts, the total mileage represented being 1,01# miles, it is compared with eighteen roads, with aver 2.000 milea of track, In 1898. The 'JJ aggregate capital Involved in these occurrences last year was IS2.000.000, us compared with $138,000,000 tho year bof0rt' . E. We were told to await the arrival of j" mall advices before expressing any BU Dplnlon on Consul Macrum's strange In evacuation of Pretoria. Letters from <jj ilm have been received by the state de- fn partment which Incrense rather than m Jlspei the myatery of hla action. B1 mm to It appears that the Boers do not n* monopolize the sympathy market of this country, If we may Judge from that largt pro-English meeting held In Chicago Saturday night. D ce The Ooebel Democrats deny that Bryan has sdvlasd the dropping of the P< sontcst in that state, but the Louisville Post reiterates the assertion and prints the following ss the concluding para co Rrroph of Bryan's letter to Senator wt Blackburn: "It appears to me tat the action of the Democrats In entucky Is without precedent. The epubllcans have been given the certl ates and It would appear to an outder that the best Interests of the emocratlo party demand that the Heibllcans be allowed to serve out the ill terms of the state oSlces. In fact, believe, the salvation of the party to certain extent depends upon the aban inment by the Democrats of the conat proceedings." Honors equal to those paid the Duke Wellington await General Lord Itchener should he succeed In retrlevg the glory ot British arms In South frlca. Mr. Bryan again insists that he Is inning for president on the same old sues, and that all statements to the intrary ore spurious. The movement of seventy-live Mound Rusnlan troops close to the borir of Afghanistan has an ominous look r British India. The Louisville Courier Journal Is ivlng a squally time bolstering up tebel's assault on law, decency and der. CCUMULATING" AND GIVING. tf There Were No Fortunes There Could Be No Benefactions." Boston Globe: Charles T. Yerkes, ho has amassed $16,000,000 In fifteen ;ars, recently declared before a meetg of commercial teachers in Chicago: Jreat wealth does not bring happltBB." Mr. Carnegie was so convinced this fact that he determined never to e rich, and it looks as if he might icceed in living up to his resolution. There was always a vague theory nong rich men that wealth could not jy much, and that men are hardly ore than the stewards of wealth. If e are to judge of what was bestowed benefactions last year for education id charity, it really looks as though le rich were beginning to take it serusly and to practice It. Last year's benefactions exceed all evious records. They amount to the trprising total of $79,749,956, as #jmired with $23,949,900 in 1898. $36,612,814 i 1897, $33,670,129 in 1886, $28,943,594 ill 95, and $19, 667.116 in 1894. In the preiration of these statistics no record i* heen kant of donations or bequests ' less than $1,000. Of the total amount for 1899 there as given to educational institutions le extraordinary sum of 155,851,817* to larities $13,206,676, to churches $2,992,3, to museums and art galleries $2,6,500. and to libraries $5,012,400. Looking at the situation from one jteworthy point of view, if there were ) great fortunes there could be no 'eat benefactions. If accumulations id been forbidden by statute beyond a rtaln sum. there would have been no rexel Institute In Philadelphia, Pratt istltute in Brooklyn, Cooper Union, Irard College. Leland Stanford Uniirslty, Vanderbilt University, #Clark nlversity at Worcester, University of liicago, or Colby University, as they list to-day. Accumulation is in itself not a bad ling. Some men are born with a speal genius for It. and others have little 1 no aotltude for It. It Is benefaction lat brings the blessing. Last years ng list of "bread casters" looks as iouRh many of the rich were beginng to realize it. Scored Last.
