TIME no GO HOME.

The Red Cloud Investigating Committee is
growing tired of its labors and Gov. Fletcher
gave notice on Monday that it was time to go
home. We agree with him. The gentlemen
composing this Commission ore not likely to
accomplish anything by prolonging their seS-
sions. They are FESTIVE under the detention
which keeps them away from their private
business, and they have displayed their impa-
tienco with the utmost freedom. From the
start they have done nothing but skim
tho surface of the inquiry. We doubt
whether they could have got to the
bottom OF the Indian frauds il they
had tried they lacked the necessary
powers, and apparently they had very little of
the talents and temper Of good investigators
but at any rate, unless report bellies them,
they have made no astonishing effort to dis
cover the whole truth, and q partial and un-
satisfactory verdict Is almost foregone con-
clusion. BY all means let them wind up the
performance and go home. Then at least we
shall be spared further unpleasant exhibitions
of their tenderness towards the accused and
their severity towards the witnesses.

The revival Of the Beecher scandal BY me
trial Of the Indictment against Francis u.
Moulton, which he insists on bringing to an
issue, we do not hesitate to declare would 90
almost a public calamity. The issue has been
more thoroughly tried than It will ever be
again. No new evidence exists which can
bring mems minds, still divided upon IT, to
more definite conclusion than was reached on
tho first trial, and it would be o sad waste OF
time to again go over the same unsatisfactory
evidence. It is understood that the counsel OF
Mr.. Morlton will put Mrs. Tilton on the
stand to give new evidence; but as by 80 do
ing they would make her DEFENDANTS witness,
and thereby place it out of his power to con-
tradict her testimony denying the allegation
of adultery, this act would be simply suicidal.
Advice from us to District-Attorney Britton
will probably be unacceptable and go I'M
needed, but we venture to suggest to him ana
to the County Judge that there arc graver con-
sderations for conceding the public demand for
the dropping of this matter than OF gratifying
the SIMPLE individual or his lawyers who insist
on n renewal of this shameful strife, in which
regulations are so Iuthlessly sacrificed to no
good or useful end that any one can perceive.

The later returns of the Maine election leave
the question of majority still in doubt, but
they by no means improve the prospects of
the Republicans. It is very clear that the
Democratic gains are so large and general that
the Republicans will have to accept smaller
majority than they have had since the organi-
cation of tho party in Maine. This is warn
ing which cannot easily be misunderstood.

1t must have been somewhat of a relief for
the Assembly Committee on Crime yesterday
after dealing so long with the mass OF con-
Trajectory testimony placed before it in its
investigation of police matters-to receive
such calm and apparently complete state
ment of the conduct of the District Attorneys
Office as was given by Mr.. Phelps. While
this statement showed that more criminals
have been brought to justice than under the
immediate predecessor of the present District
Attorney, the belief is suggested that more
facilities for trials should be furnished, or. at
least that those now provided by law should
be used more fully even if the judges have to
do more work. Mr.. Phelps cuts the Police
Department sharply in an indirect way, for III
one noted case he said he thought sit was in

glish Ministerial plan. The PROPOSE
ton is that the executive power shall

ExGLAND's NEW LIBERAL LEADER.

The Right Hon. Spencer Compton
CaTendish, Marquis of Harrington,
who succeeds Mr.. Gladstone as the
leader Of the British Liberals, is the
elder son Of the Duke of Devonshire.
He was born July q, 1888; was edu-
Gated at Trinity College, Cambridge,
where he was graduated B. A. in 1854.
The Marquis entered public life in
March, 1857, when he was elected IN
the Liberal interest as one Of the mem
bers Of the House of Commons for
North Lancashire. In March, 1868,
Lord Palmerston being Premier, he
was appointed Lord of the Admiralty,
and in April of the same year, Under
Secretary for War. On thsrecOnstruc-
ton Of Lord Russel's second admins
traitor in February, 1866, the Marquis
Of Harrington became Secretary
for War, and retired with his col
leagues in July of that year,
the Earl of Derby succeeding as Pre-
mier. He was again a candidate in
North Lancashire at the general cleo
tons Of 1868, but owing to the rivalry
Of the house Of Stanley, he was defeat
ed by 385 votes. He was subsequently
elected to represent the borough Of
Radnor, and became Postmaster Gen
eral in Gladstone's ministry. Later he
was appointed Secretary for Ireland,
and held that position until Gladstone
resigned. He is unmarried, and it is
generally understood that he might
have been the husband of the Princess
Louise, but he was unwilling to impair
his political prospects by that alliance.
lie mas displayed moderate ability in
official capacities, and a fair degree Of
aptitude for parliamentary business.
His views are understood to be con-
~servative, and he has sustained the
leading Liberal measures rather as an
act of party discipline tan from
choice.

A BIG STRIKE FOR RErRENCH-


Oneo or two bills are pending before the
Legislature the purport of which is to
repeal the law providing for insane
asylams IN East and West Tennessee,
and for the sale Of the site and materi-
ais already purchased by the State near
Knoxville. We hope the Legislature
VIII take hold of this measure at an
early day, and not allow it to be shelved
or smothered in committee amid the
haste hat often marks the end Of the
session. 1t lies across the very path
Of retrenchment. The amount appro-
priated last session for each asylum
was only $4,000. Inquiries among
contractors, builders and architects
give US estimates that the one at Knox
vile alone will cost from 100000 to
! 100000, according to the plans
already laid out. We suppose
West Tennessee would hardly be
content with less. Here, then, is a
question of expanding from S6OO,OOO
to 100000 of the peoples money.
Is it necessary? Is the need for these
asylums an immediate and pressing
one? How much suffering is occasion
ed by their Don-existence? Can the
State, in its present condition, afford to
build them? Would it not be wise to
wait a few years before venturing on
this heavy expense? Or if, indeed,
Tennessee has a million to waste in
elegant architectural display, would it
not be better 10 distribute some of it
among other needy interests. Are the
intellectual needs of 100000 children,
soon to take our places in the walks of
life, less urgent than the phys1caln needs
Of a few hundred harmless idiots. After
asylums are built, the cost does not
cease. Two superintendent, each
furnished with a corps of able assis-
tants, must be supported at a heavy in
crease Of our current annual expendi-
lures.
In view of all the circumstances, We
think a Legislature elected to retrench
could not do better than stop this big
leak that threatens to swamp the ship
Of State. While urging economy in
every practicable direction, we are sat
isfed that the postponement of these
asylum projects to times more pro-
pitious, viii effect a greater saving
within the coming two years, than all
else that can be done. Why let the
Treasury run at the spiggOt, while
saving at the spile?
We appeal to the Legislature,
solemnly pledged as it is to retrench-
ment and the payment Of the States
obligations, without ncreasingtaxation
on a heavy-burdened people. to answer
promptly and definitely whether it be-
comes Tennessee, at such a time as
this, to enter upon premature schemes
Of eItravagant expenditure.

IT is stated that nearly all the Su-
pervisors who have been shifted from
one city to another will be in Washing
ton in a day or two, pleading to be re-
tanned in their places. The general ar
gument made is that they are settled,
with their families and friends, and
that, by having grown familiar with
the citizens and merchants where they
are stationed, they are Of greater SER
vice to the Government than theycould
possibly be in new localities. But the
Chicago Times hits the nail on the head
when it says the real reason Of their
hating to be moved elsewhere Is that
they have become possessedof the Fed
eral political power in their present
quarters, and that power is very val
liable to themselves and their friends.
Among the latter, Of course, are the
leading Radical politicians, who are
equally anxious that the present con-
genial order Of things should not be
disturbed.
