The testimony already taken before the
Judiciary Committee Of the Houss against
Belknap. in regard to the Posttraderahip
of Fort Sill is abundant TO establish cor
ruption in Office and to convict. Further
crimes and misdemeanors have been de-
veloped on the late Secretary Of War,
even more outrageous than those with
which the public have already been made
familiar. There is no precedent to Bel
Snap's case, because in previous impeach-
ments the officials charged with crime did
not resign to evade trial. When the Presi-
dent accepted Belknap's resignation, he
either knew Of his conspiracy or he was
bound to enquire into the facts before con.
senting to his retirement with an indict-
ment pending against him. Belknap's
counsel mean to contest the jurisdiction,
and to rely upon that as the main point in
their case. Although our Republican Sen
ate would gladly get rid Of this great scan
dal by side issue Of the want of jurisdic-
ton, it will not likely adopt such an ex-
pedient in the face Of public opinion.

The vote on the Payne Currency bill
goes to show the utter impsssbility, or al
least improbability ofthe Democrats uniting
on any currency bill whatever. An analy.
sis of the vote on this bill shows that the
eighty -one Alternatives were all Democrats
while of the one hundred and fifty-six
negatives sixty-three were Democrats. The
defeat Of Payne's bill by one hundred and
ffty-six negative to eighty-one affirmative
votes, show the very best that the hard
money wing Of the party can do in the way
Of a harmonizing measure. Mr.. Payne
bill was the issue of long deliberatine
Democratic caucus, and not until prospects
of partisan achievements are overthrown,
will it be possible to spaas fair, honest
bill on its own merits. Are there not
enough Of fair square men in Congress
who have the honesty and courage to come
to the front with some acceptable measure
for return to specie payment?

The precious stones presented by the
Khedive Of Egypt to Minnie Sherman
nee Fitch, out Of compliment for the high
regard he entertained for her illustrious
father, and which rich diamonds have
been lying in the vaults of the treasury in
New York since their arrival in June last,
have proved to be white elephant.
Among these jewels are necklace and
ear rings which were said to be worth
S25o,OOO, bat experts have appraised them
at $4,000. Neither the husband nor
father are able to pay the duty on them
which is $4,000. If the duty is not paid
by the first of June, the valuable gift will
be disposed Of at public auction. From
this state of affairs it would seem as if
Minnie, her hubby and her daddy had
big white elephant on hand.

IMNUNlTY TO WITNESSES.

There is ne excuse or palliation for the
delay which obstructsj justice by the failure
of the United States Senate to pass the
House bill fer the protection of witnesses.
The delay of the Senate to pass this bill is
surprising, as its failure is bringing some
of the most important investigations to a
dead halt. The Senate should take up the
bill at once, and if amended sent immedi.
ately back to the House. Surely Repub.
ican Senate does not mean by its action
to screen criminals from exposur, and pun
ishment, by refusing to protect witnesses
who can be induced to testify only by 8
perfect assurance Of personal safety. /
even the House bill may possess some OBJ
jectionable features, it should nevertheless!
be promptly taken up and passed by thu
Senate with or without amendments. Al
above remarked there is no excuse or palli
alton for this delay; this great obstruction
Of justice by Republican United State
Senate.

that the Presidents exchequcr is low, the

He is the only President that ever re-

THE HARRISBURG CONVENTION
Convention

The workingof the Republican Con
vention at Harrisburg Wednesday, was SO
very smooth as to surprise the engineers
who devised its machinery. 1t was the
smoothest working political machinery
ever seen in Pennsylvania. The con.
vsntion met in the Opera House at noon
and was called to order by Mr.. Hoyt,
chairman of the Republican State Com.
nittee, and w. H, Koontz was chosen
temporary President by acclamation, and
upon the conclusion of his address, the
Committees on credentials, resolutions
and permanent organizations were an.
nounced, which had been previously
agreed upon in caucus. On the reas-
assembling Of the Convention at three
o'clock, Hon. Edward Mcpherson wa,
made permanent president, and Lucier
Rogers Secretary.
The convention was manipulated with
Napelienic ability for Governor Hart
ranft. The platform is windy and con.
temptible, and stands out by itself among
its kind for incoherent cowardice. 1t is
the most incoherent wishy-washy plat
form that any party in Penn 'ylyania evel
adopted. 1t is conspicuous for its cow
ardice, and its unintelligable string Of
sentences and threadbare platitudes. l,
is conspicuous for its absence of a positive
impression on any cardinal article Of po-
litical faith. The dispassionate men Of
ell parties will search in vain for singls
honest expression or declaration of faitl
on any disputed issue.
The unconditional abdication by the
Convention itself of all its high powers te
a few leaders was 50 palpable as to make
the whole affair farcical. The young Win
nebago, Don Cameron, heads the delegates
at large, and Timothy Tapertit Bing
ham heads the Representative delegates
The whole work. the Convention wa
done without a jar The whole proceed
ings were mere routine. Some Uttered
to see the machine work SO easy, but nen
had the courage to stop its running, bu
let the already made-up programme sliE
through. Many Of the hard working Re
publicans seem to think that the jol
worked too smoothly. The Philadelphi
Times says Of it: "As deliberate bod
it wasn't even respectable delusion, bu
apatent fraud. Its programme from he
ginning to end was the creation Of "a cal
Gus, in which even the expression Of dis
tricts were insolently disregarded, and tn
formal ratification Of the State by the SC
called Convention was an awkward repre-
sentation ofrespect for usages and author
ity."

Parents may well feel anxiety regarding
the dangers which threaten their children in
our badly ventilated schools. There is not
father or mother in New York who is not
interested in the thorough overhauling of
the sanitary arrangements Of buildings
wherein their little ones spend SO many
hours each day. For this reason we desire
to enlist their cooperation in securing the
reform of system which has been fruitful
of SO much evil A popular movement of
this kind will leave no grounds whatever for
the pleas Of economists who would shave
down the school estimates at the expense of
the health of the pupils The people who
support the schools should at least be
guaranteed protection for the children who
attend them. Our public schools are justly
regarded as among the greatest of our insti-
tutions, but owing to mechanical defects in
many of the buildings the benefits of the
education received by the pupils are neu-
tralized by the loss Of health and ability to
apply the advantages gained to useful ends.
The defective sanitary condition of many
of these schools must also react on the
mental powers of both teachers and pupils,
because it is impossible to expect that either
can Withstand the depressing influences that
surround them. Parents should visit the
schools which are attended by their children
and insist on the adoption Of every precau-
ton necessary to the preservation of health.
few thousands of dollars intelligently ex-
pended will remove many of the causes Of
complaint. The people of New York will
gladly furnish the money if the Board of
Education supplies the intelligence.
