The latest investigation sensation is aimed at
Postmaster General Croswen. The resolution,
as prepared, directs the Committee to inquire
what percentage on contracts is paid quarterly
to Geo Earle, law partner of the Postmaster
General and what amounts have been invested
in deeds OF trust on property ia the city of
Washington the past six months, the said Earle
being trustee. Also, what percentage on Post
Office contracts, or any of them, is paid to
Joseph Mckibben, attorney for said contractors,
for the manipulation of straw bids, the said
McKibben being now attorney for the so-called
Post Office ring. Also, what per cent. of these
illegal and exorbitant contracts have been re-
gulaIy paid to Giles A. Smith, late Second AS
sistant Postmaster General. Also, to inquire
why it is that the most responsible bidders in
the Southwest and in the Territories are willing
to swear that they will now take all these enor-
nous and extravaganza contracts and perform
the service at one-half the amount now paid,
and at the same time make % per cent out of

A Word Of Caution.

d It is said on good authority. that Northern
Pacific bonds, which took from Maine mill
ion and half dollars, are owned by our peo-
pie, and what is worse, largely by persons of
limited means who have put large part of
their small savings into this doubtful securi-
ty. Few securities have been so persstently
advertised as the bonds of the Northern Pa
ciie. There were few papers in the country
which did not advertise Northern Pacific
bonds and many of the first papers in the
country endorsed them editorially, and this
sort of endorsement was most noticeable in
certain religious journals which we could
name; and the result OF the interlarding of
prudent advice respecting the future, both as
to investments in this as well as the next
world, is that thousands of people in moder-
ate circumstances who take these papers, to-
day look disconsolately upon Northern Pa
cities with coupons dishonored. But it is
not to this fact or to advertising in general
that we desire to call attention but to the les
son to be learned from the experience of
those who have invested in Western securi-
ties of unknown and consequently of ques-
tionable value. If there were no good Sc
curities in Maine or no opportunities for
profitable investment, there would be some
pretext for making such investments. But
in Maine there are several million dollars Of
bonds offered, which are sure to return seven
per cent. interest, paid semi-annually. For
instance, the bonds of this city in aid of the
Portland & OgdensbIrg Railroad and the
Maine Central bonds, are safe investments,
because both interest and principal are as
sured. In addition to these considerations,
the draining of capital from this State to the
West, has caused an Unusual stringency in
the home money market during the past year
which has had tendency to seriously i'm
pair the business and manufacturing interests
OF Maine, both because of the great difficulty
experienced during the fall and early winter
to get money to pay current expenses and
the ruinous rates of interest that such scar
city produced.
We have taken the Northern Pacific as an
example of many other securities held in
Maine to-day which have passed their cou-
pons and are likely to do so Tor some time to
come. 1t is doubtless fact that Maine is
largely out of pocket by making such invest
ments, and, before the end is seen, will have
purchased her experience in this matter at
dear figure. Meanwhile our own securities,
paying not quite SO high rate of interest,
have been driven to other markets for pur-
chasers, at prices below their real value, and
the money gathered from our people as the
income Of such railroads, 60 to other parts
of the country or to Europe while we are re-
ceiving little or nothing from our Western
wild cat' bonds to supply the place of that
sent away. 1..e.. 5
Hereafter, let us hope, that our Maine peo-
pie will look out for home investments and
patronize them, both because such proceed
ure will stimulate business at home and such
securities are reasonably certain to make good
their promises.

The great object in cases of indigestion and it's &C
