THE FINALE of the naval investigation
extravaganza came off yesterday in the
House, stage manager Whitthorne enacting
the principal character, which partook alike
,Uf:he down and the heavy villain. The
performance failed to arouse the audience
or to elicit the applause of the Democratic
cldquers. Indeed, much of the hour occu-
pied by Mr.. Whitthorne in speaking his
little piece was taken up by both Republi-
cans and Democrats in replying to the
correspondence from their constituents.
Mr. Whitthorne perspired freely, walked
about ten miles around the floor, gesticu-
lating muscularly, and shouting all the
time at the top of his thin, cracked voice.
Then came the vote upon the resolutions of
the majority and minority. Nobody ex
pected a result different from that which
came to pass. It was strict party vote,
and the evidence goes to the Judiciary
Committee for manipulation in the interests
of the Democratic party.

Ben Buffers pertinent question re
garding the mysterious disappearance of
the public-school, we believe-funds of
Tennessee when Governor Isham G. Hlr-
ris and his staff Joined the Confederacy is
reproduced elsewhere in our issue to day.
The fact should be noted that Tennessee
had not yet seeded, and therefore Harris
and his associates were without even the
excuse of secession when they ran away
with the taxpayers money.

If YOU contract debt for $4,000 and
before it natures 5000 of your capital
pledged to its redemption is violently
wrested from you, would it not be difficult
to meet your obligation? This is exactly
what has happened TO the United States by
the demonstration of silver.

THE Ishmaelite of the Sun insists that
George W. Childs, of the Philadelphia
Ledger, shall buy the Tribune. and sheer
ingly adds that he would welcome him as
a political neighbor. This Is all "sour

is to own and control the Tribune, upon
which he performed so much hard labor
in his earlier and better days. he wishes
to turn it into a Tilden organ.

THE conspiracy to destroy President
Grants reputation, in which Bluford Will
son and his disreputable associates are still
engaged, was begun as far back as the win
ter of 1S74-nearly two years ago. It was
fostered by Senator Stevenson, of Ken
lucky, among others, and is, therefore, par
tally Of Democratic paternity.

THE New York Herald says: "No legis-
lation can fix the value of one kind of
money in comparison with another kind, I"
and eff silver dollar is intrinsically worth
" only three fourths as much as gold dol
I" lar we may make it a legal-tender, but
" its purchasing power will be only sew
" enty-fve cents" This is a most eyre
gious blunder. Congress has by its action
since 1878 legislated silver into depre-
ciated condition in comparison with gold
and at the same time appreciated gold.
Germany has done the same thing. But
this is not the question at issue in this sill
yer business. What the people want to
know now is whether they will be com
PEELED to pay the public debt in gold alone,
or in either silver or gold, as the law or
contract authorizing the debt provides!
Silver and gold were legal-tenders when
the debt was contracted, and our bonds
promise on their face that they shall be re-
deemed in coin or its equivalent, i. e., silver
or gold, the coin then in existence.

THE demonstration of silver is simply
and plainly the most violent kind of con-
traction. 1t takes away from the Govern
ment and the taxpayers about one half of
the coin which was in existence when the
public debt was contracted, and requires
that the debt shall be redeemed with the
remaining half

THE Whitthorne naval investigation re-
port arraigus the acting Paymaster General
for alleged InaccuracY of account, AMI the
committee makes it appear that there is
deficiency of one million dollars, due from
the bureau of provisions and clothing to
the Treasury. Ga Saturday last Mr..
Banks had read from the Clerks dc-k the
letter of General Watmough and the certi-
ficate Of the Second Auditor of the Treas
ury, showing that this alleged deficiency
does not exist, and that the one million
dollars referred to had been covered into
the Treasury in 1870, three years before
General Watmough became acting Pay
master General. Yesterday Mr.. Whit
thorne failed to sustain his allegation, but
stated, nevertheless, that he did not now
and never had doubted the integrity of
General Watmough. So would have dis
appeared every serious charge against the

given for fair hearing before the committee

What this country needs most, aside from
good foolcatcher, is an improved cow-catcher.
1t is one that will pick the animal up without
injury, carry her back into car, and milk her
at the proper time. If the animal should
happen to be gentleman cow-a Sitting Bull,
for instance-it would be good idea to have
the catcher so improved as to skin him and
prepare the steaks and ribs for the market.
This should all be done between stations, so
that each town could be furnished with fresh

The Democrats are so full of reform that it
is constantly oozing out at unexpected places.
When the ex-Confederate House seated Mr..

acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originated from a disor-

Persons so affected II they take one or two heavy
