false impression is rife that Republican
stock has gone down in Ohio since the Maine
election. The fact is it's the Democratic beer
that has been going down. This, however, is
a common occurrence.
The man who stumbled over crowd of BOYS
on the street wanted to know what the side
walks were made for. The ignoramus was
not aware of the fact that they were built ex-
pressly and exclusively for boys to spin tops
on.
1t seems rather strange, but it was always
the case since Cain injured Abel, that boys who
charge their mothers five cents for each errand
will stand on the curbstone all day in sunshine
and storm and bet millions that they can rival
their comrades in the "spinning of the top"
The Chicago Inter Ocean says: ''Cowardice
and snobbishness are the distinguishing fea-
lures" of that plank of the New York Repub-
licen platform which demands a Just, 2ener-
GUS and forbearing national policy in the
Southern States, and firm refusal to use mill
tary power except for purposes clearly defined
in the Constitution"
The Hon. B. F. Wade made his first appear
ance in the Ohio campaign at jefferson, Ash
tabula county, few days ago, where he intro
duced ex-GoV. Hayes in a brief speech. After
telling the audience that he should go to his
grave ashamed Of them if they allowed the
Democrats to carry the State, he settled the
whole question of corruption at Washington
with this comprehensive statement 81 know
that nowadays we hear public men maligned
on every hand. Now, say that these sweep
ing charges of rascality against the public
men Of the Republican party in Washington
are not true. have been there in Washing
ton some time, and don't know as they ever
accused me of stealing anything, and say
these charges are not true. / do not deny
that the Republican party has rascals in It, as
well as other parties, but these charges are
made for political effect. The Republican
party has done more to make the Republic
permanent than any other party"
AS soon as the Indian commission make
their report there will be several prominent
and important reasons for instituting two more
investigations. 1t would be highly consistent

William Welsh belongs should 1t at once insti
tute thorough examination of the life of this
man, and discover, If possible, whether the
charges preferred against him Of blackmailing,
SANDER and slaye-holding have any foundation
or not. If he is a blackmsiler, what right has
he to the cloak Of religion which he so pomr-
ously wears7 If he be persistent slanderer
and traducer, why should the Church counte-
nance his wrongs by allowing him to remain
within the foldi If he be slsve-dealer, then
he is unworthy the sheltering root Of Christian
ity, and TO be consistent with its creed 1t must
forthwith expel himifrom its company and e1-
punge his name from its records. Besides the
Church, Yale College has q task to perform.
If there be any one thing more than another
that adds reputation and lustre to a college, 1t
is the purity and dignity ofits professors. There
fore, If Prof. Marsh be guilty of the charge laid
at his door, Yale will brighten its future by
cleansing its records of his name and filling
his important chair with gentleman of true
and consistent principles. If the Professor be
guilty of inaugurating this unrighteous cru
SADIE against the Indian Bureau because he has
not received from it all the attention he de-
sired while prosecuting his scientific investiga-
tions in Dakota, then he has brought afdis-
honor to his name under which he cannot
labor with benefit for the institution which he
represents. If he be guilty of having secured
the intoIication of Lewis Richard, the half
breed, for the purpose of having him agree to
and sign an affidavit, as 1t stands to-day upon
the records Of the investigation that he did,
then he is q scoundrel and blackmailer, with
disposition to traduce character, which makes
him not only an improper attache of great
and famous institution, but dangerous per-
son TO hold any responsible charge. These
things stand clearly against these men, and
unless they are openly and completely dis
proven the Church and the college will add to
their lustre and dignity by acting promptly
