AN Infatuated COW recently broke away
from a butcher in the streets of Bloom
ington, Ill. A little girl, named Rosie
Cotterman, risked her life in the endeavor
to save some smaller children. She had
put three or four of the little ones over
fence and in place of safety, when
the enraged bovine caught the little he
rome in her arms and tossed her in the
air. Fortunately, though her dress was
torn from her back, the noble little girl
escaped serious bodily injury.

The Committees.

Before the House adjourned yesterday for
the holiday recess, Speaker Kerrsnnounced
the standing committees. The result was
to TURF the body before himSinto an extern
pore surprise party. The biggest prize, the
Craftsmanship of the committee on ways and
meane, is borne away by rising young
Illinoisan, Mr.. Morrison, hitherto but little
known outside of his own state, who was
appointed as sort OF acompromise between
Wood and Cox. The latter gets the first
place on the coormittee on banking and
currency, while Woods name is second on
that on ways and means. Randall,
being a rather liberal appropriation, is to
be held in check by Holman on the COM
mittee on appropriations. The Pacific rail-
road committee will be presided over by
Lemar and will be almost if not quite
evenly dividedon the question of govern
ment aid, The facetious Proctor Knott
stands at the head Of the committee on
judiciary. The ways and means committee
Is strongly free trade in its composition
and that on banking and currency leans to-
ward the hard money persuasion. It will
be noticed that the West carries
of the bulk of the chairmsnsbips,
having twenty-four out OF the thiIty-tour
of the first and second class, while the East
gets thirteen and the South ten. Indiana
has two, Holman on buildings and public
grounds, and Williams on accounts. The re-
manning Indiana members are provided for
as follows: Baker, elections; Raymond,
banking and currency; Hunter, commerce;
Hamilton, foreign affairs and enrolled bills;
Cason, claims; New, war claims; Evans,
mines and mining; Lsnders, railways
and canals; Robinson, revision of the laws;
Fuller, public lands. The speaker is also,
as usual, the chairman of the committee
on rules.

of government contractor. II we accept
as true Mr.. Mason's statement that he re-
ceived his appointment with the under
standing and agreement that 10 per cent. OF
the profits of his business should 60 into TIE
pockets of the superintendent Of the post

otherwise be inexplicable.
The Sentinel would have been content to
let the grand jury take its course in relation
to these investigations without reference
being made Co 1t In these columns, but when

the power to make aud unmake prosecuting
attorneys. Such an act of improperly in a
public officer the Sentinel deemed worthy
of rebuke; and when IL saw the grand Jury
forced to appeal from this officer 20 the
court, it determined to speak out boldly
against the effort that was being made to
stifie an Investigation, because the parties
likely to be affected by it were Of the family
of Senator Morton.

the action of the grand jury than q general
indignation was felt on all sides, and this
no doubt led to fuller revelation of facts
than was at first supposed to exist. The
Sentinel was made aware that there was
probably tsmpering with the grand jury
by parties interested in preventing an indict-
ment, and bringing this before the public,
1t caused two of the Jurors TO make the facts
public that they were in an en-
barrsssing position = that, while the
investigation was in progress, an i'm
portant position had been rendered to
one ofthe grand jurors by the superintend-
emit OF the postoffice, and that the pu blication
Of the fact constrained them to make the
statement to the court, whereupon they
were discharged. What must the public
think OF such condition OF things? Sup
posing it bad been discovered during the in
vestigstion OF the whisky frauds here, that
the Binghsms had rendered to grand jurors
lucrative places in their distillery, what

sion could be arrived at, and that is too
plain to need mention. What now does the
Journal think Is the duty of Col. Holloway

to say what offense has been committed
in placing grand jurors in ssct
positions as to constrsin them to ssk
to he released from their positions
but such acts have been known to bring
speedy and condign punishment. That there
has been wrong doing is scarcely now ques
ton, and as the light shines in upon the
facts, the Sentinel is curious to know how
any objection can be legitimately raised tc
full and fair investigation of the whole
matter. The Sentinel does not desire the
slightest inconvenience or shadow of sus
piciOn to rest upon any innocent party, bu
this can only now be secured by a full in
Vestigation of all the facts.

The Grand Jury Investigation OF The
POsfO6ice

The investigations now in progress de-
velop condition of affairs that calls forth
the serious consideration of all who favor
purity in official station. The matter as it
now stands has very dark look, and the
wonder is that a thorough investigation
has not long since been made. 1t can only
be accounted for on the presumption that
those in high position and influence with
the government have prevented action here,
as was done for a long while in the St.
Louis whisky frauds. Now, that circum-
stances make this no longer pos
STOLE, the investigation goes on. The
public wstch with jealous eye every
movement that looks like an effort to
screen the guilty, and thus public opinion
forces the truth out into the open light. No

Attorney Trusler was dislnclined to second

The Grand Jury Witnesses, and TN e Dis
arfct Attorney.

Again referring to the postoffice article in
the Journal of Saturday, we would say that
it betrays much bad temper and no little
assurance. The point it makes against the
grandjury for bringing into court hypo-
thetical case rs not well taken, for 1t is the
province Of a judge to instruct iuries in all
questions of law when such instructions are
asked of him. The district attorney Is an
officer of the court, and as such officer, it Is
his duty TO advise with the grand jurors
upon such matters as may come before
them, but they are not compelled to accept
as law the dictum of such officers; and it is
their duty no less than their privilege to
ask the court for instructions, whenever
they may deem it proper to 60 so. This
they should always do when they believe
the prosecutor isiRhuenced in his judg-
ment and opinions, by feelings Of friendship
or enmity for theperEons undergoing investi-
CATION. tits well known that Senator Nor
ton is the almoner OF the federal government
for Indiana, and those who know him will
not doubt his course If the act OF sn officer
subject to removal, Involves either himself
or his family in trouble. Therefore, it is no
nOn0CA bhab bnO II oA- 0CoAAO0 bLO OplD-
ion of q man on this subject whose tenure of
Office does not depend upon the senator's
will.
The Journal goes out of Its way to. assault
several gentlemen whom it designetes as the
witnesses, upon whose testimony the action
of the grand jury was predicsted. The first
OF these, Mr.. John F. Wood, was for long
time assistant postmaSter under Colonel
Holloway, and left the Office some time ago
under serious charges of malfeasance. If
the charges against HIM were true why was
he not indicted and prosecuted? Was 1t for
fear that, should he be tried, something
might be developed whick the interest of
the postmaster and his family required
to be eoncealed1 There must have been a
reason for smothering the charges against
Mr.. Wood, and II we have not indicated the
true one, the public woHld be glad for the
Journal to make the correction. Charles
Dsnnis, another of the witnesses named by
the Journal, was formerly connected with
that paper in a reportorial capacity, and 1t is
understood that during such connection be
committed the grave offense of writing up
the mail bag scandal for his paper. This in
sured his dismissal on the advent of the
postmaster to power in the Journal Office, and
will be sufficient to keep him off that paper
so long az il remains under its present man
s2ement. Another of these witnesses IS w.
c. Mason, whom the Journal informs the
public was 5ixmissed from the postofice. II
is true that Mr.. Mason was at one time en-
ployed in the post1ffice in clerical capacity,
and IL is also true that he left that position.
But If be was dismissed for cause, as is
implied by the Journal, it is strange,
indeed, that he should have been
appointed to the lucrative place

The situation of public affairs at tho
present il truly appalling. With all the
powers that government officials possess OF
overipg up and concesling frs-sd and cor

parties and Their friends in high places are
falling under condemnation. 1t is Ia
inevitable situation, and should awaken
serious alarra In the minds OF thoughtful
men. Frauds in local affairs, frauds In state
affairs, ring frauds and whisky frauds, sub
sides and fraudulent government claims
are beingbrought to light everywhere. The
country longs for good old Democratic

Grants Fatal BIuuder.

The contemplation of President Grants
completely with the whisky frauds upon the
government that have been perpetrated at
st. Louis and elsewhere can not be pleasant
to any right thinking American citizen. 1t
should be matter of profound regret that
even suspicion of such a crime, or the pcs
sibility of connivance, should attach to the
high ohi4 of the president of the United
States. The very suspicion is . national
disgrace that no American, at home or
abroad, would like to confess. And yet,
what can be said in the premises, in view of
plainly developed and incontestable facts,
that will exculpate the president from the
position in which he has placed himself?
This prosecution of periurers, conspirstors,
and deirsuders of the just revenues of the
government commenced and was prose-
cuted under the pressure OF absolute neces.
sity, or else the government must abandon
all pretenss Of an honest administration of
