Unjust Statements.
The dispatches that are being publish*
ed In papers outside of this elate, alleging
thai there is complaint about suffering
among the members of the First
West Virginia regiment, which baa
been at Camp Thomas but la now al
Knoxville, Tenn., should bo traced to
the authors, who should be exposed.
The "stories" are usually dated at Parkersburg,
but are certainly not the
work of any respectable Parkersburg
newspaper man. There has been cause
enough of complaint about poor camp
conditions without adding to it by the
creation of falsehoods.
It has already been shown, even by
the most sensational newspaper accounts,
that many causes of complaint
fcave been due to lack of discipline, In
some cases, and the negligence and incompetency
of officers in others, and the
. dispatch we have especially In mind
seems to reflect upon the officers of the
First West Virginia regiment. In Justice
to these officers, and for the crfedit
. of the state, it should be said that there
is not an lota of truth in what has been
published of this nature. Privates of
swtmnnnv. in wrltlncr t.> their friends
and tire newspapers, speak In the highest
terms of their officers and of the
splendid condition of the regiment.
4 letter from Colonel Spllman, quoted
from in Wednesday's Parkersburg Journal,
states thatHhere have been but
two deaths in the regiment, neither being
due to camp conditions?one from
neuralgia and another from a stomach
trouble, and that the only two cases oi
lever were of recent occurrence. The
Journal says: "Colonel Spilman states
that the record of the regiment for
iiealth stands at the top of the list of the
Chfckamauga troops, owing to the care
the boys have taken of themselves and
the sanitary conditions of their camp."
This should be sufficient evidence of
the competency of the officers of the
**'?1 anil thr. lnHnc of the
rim -- -men.
Whatever complaints may be
brought concerning the general conditions
at ChlckamauKa.the records of the
West Virginia regiment, and several
from other states about which reports
have been published, clearly demonstrate
that strict observance of rules of
health and personal oversight by the
regimental officers could have saved a
vast amount of sickness.
The Irrtelllgencer has no purpose to
offer excuse for any one who has been

as confusing ideas of magnanimity with

The Suburban Electric Line.
The fact that the Wheeling and Elm
Grove new suburban electric line will
coon be completed, and that cars will
: likely be running within a few days, la
I welcome information to the Wheeling
= public as well a? the people who live
al??rrg the lino of the road. A fifteen
1 minute service on the road will be sc
5 complete an improvement in the line ol
convenience and rapid transit, as well
as comfortable travel, with an absence
of smoke and dust and other annoyances
incident to the old system, as to bring
about almost a revolution on these
points.
In these days suburban electric lines
have proven advantageous in the way of
encouraging the development of the su
burbs of our cities, and the building o!
homes In pleasant localities, increasing
the general beauty of the surroundings,
but Wheeling has been content until the
present to do without the luxury. Now
that she has It, In one Important direc,
tlon, doubtless the appreciation of the
public will be manifested by frequent
patronage of the line, not alone from
necessity but for pleasure.
Charles Emory Smith's name Is mentioned
in connection with the appointment
to Great Britain as successor to
Ambassador Hay. Possibly Mr. Smith,
whose experience as a diplomat is sufficient
recommendation for him, would
And the post more congenial to his tastes
than the position of postmaster general
' in the cabinet More, Mr. Smith's ap,
polntment would be as acceptable to the
public as that of any of thoso who have
been mentioned for the high honor. The
President has displayed rare Judgment
in the selection of our ambassadors to
the European courts, and whoever the
choice falls upon for Great Britain, he is
likely to be a man of ability and ex(
perience.
"This is too terrifying," is the exclamation
made by Count Esterhazy when
Informed of the confession of Colonel
Henry. It evidently was terrifying to
Esterhazy, If to no one else. It is possibly
terrifying to others, In spite of the
r evident Intention of the government not
to reopen the Dreyfus case. In view of
f the developments a revision may be unavoidable,
to satisfy public clamor, but
If It Is true that this revision would not
necessarily benellt Dreyfus, since tne
ministers contend he was convicted on
other evidence outside of the letter
1 forged by Henry, the public may not be
so easily satisfied. A cabinet crisis may
be forced as a direct result, to say the
least of possible consequences.
In the midst of all other important
foreign news, the fact Is briefly noted
that the Chinese government troops
have been defeated by the Kwang SI
refcels, tvlth a loss of 3,000 men. Thus In
a single flght In a Chinese provincial
uprising Is a greater loss of life than has
i occurred on the American side In the
four-months Spanish American war on
land and sea. In China enormous looses
of life, whether by war, storms or fire
arc so customary as to need iiaruiy more
than a passing mention.
The sinking of the hospital ship Olivette,
due to leaving open her port
holes during the night. came near costtng
the lives of about eighty perrons, rt
Is fortunate, however, that the result of
this bit of carelessness cost no lives
whatever. The lesson the crew learned
will probably prove lasting.
