The Blaine Inquiry.

1t will be remembered that when the question
of continuing the Pacific railroad investigations
so far as 1t affected Mr. Blaine was last discussed
by the house Judiciary committee, it was deter
mined that Mr.. Hunton's sub committee should
proceed with the inquiry on the 10th The official
announcement of Mr.. Blaine's appointment AS
seat in the house, materially changed the case.
however and at the meeting of the committee
to-day it was decided TO postpone further proceed
ings until tomorrow, when the question in its new
form will be presented to the full committee for
further action. Some of the best lawyers on the
republican side express the opinion that nothing
more can be done concerning Mr.. Blaine, now
that be has ceased to be member of the house,
than to certify the testimony affecting him to the
senate. Il Washington special TO Boston Adver-

Bonds of State of Amount. Interest from date
of abstraction.
Missouri $4,000
North Carolina 10000 Geo
Tennessee $4,000
Total $4,000 $500, 100
These stocks, which were more than half of
them by Jacob Thompson, and the balance by his
democratic predecessors III the Interior depart
ment, were mostly the bonds of southern States
which were never worth more than fifty cents on
dollar and have been repudiated during the
war, but which are recorded on the books of the
department as having been purchased at the face
value; many Of them were not even negotiable.
The records of the department show that some
purchases were made of bonds identical with the
$3.50 900 distracted by Thompson, and it is sup
posed that his clerk sold these bonds back to the
government, although there is nothing by which
it can be proven. Under the law the government
paid the Indians five per cent. for the interest
these trust funds, and money has been appropriat.
ed for this purpose every year by Congress.
These bonds should have been paying interest all
the time to balance the sum appropriated, but
should have paid from the time they were pur-
chased to the present date the of 81 ,00S. 900
as interest. The government has lost not only
the face value of the bonds, but this amount
of interest, which makes total of nearly s. 900
900. There is no means of showing how the
transactions were made, but it is supposed that
these worthless bonds were purchased Cor little or
nothing and charged on the books at their face
value, the democratic party getting the benefit of

stolen by Thompson went into the Golfers of the
confederacy, and it is supposed this plumber was

property, and the country now sees the result of
his fidelity As matter of history, quotation
from Jacob Thompson's last report as Secretary of

cation Of the democratic manipulation OF the ln-

examination is complete, the facts and documents
will be turned over to Attorney General Taft for
such action as can he taken by the government to
recover the five millions OF more that have been
lost The history Of the last defacation discover
ed is a. follows: When the ChoCtaw, Chelokee
and other Indian nations were ed to the
Indian territory the government gave them hber-
al compens aion for their lands in Georgia, Ala
bama. Florida and other states, which money was
ordered to be held in trust by the government for
the benefit of these tribes they to receive the in
torest upon the sum at five per cent. per annum,
to be applied for their benefit. Under the direc-
ton of the interior department law was passed
in 1884, directing the Secretary of the Interior to
invest these trust funds in United States bonds
bearing rate Of interest not less than five per
cent. and clause was enacted in the law prohb-
ting investment in any other securities. But dif-
fereut Secretaries, as is shown by the following
statement have made investments to the amount
of two millions, not only not in United States
bonds. but in worth less state bonds and stocks of
private corporations which never had a value =

The letter OF Governor Hayes accepting the
nomination Of the republican party for the Presi-
dency will be read with interest 1t is fair, dis
Greet document, and shows that the Governor is
well advised. In this letter the Governor takes
positive ground on civil service-meaning pelma
hence in Office and non-lnterference OF Congress
men in patronage, which is the only way in which
there can be civil service. He speaks emphati-
ments' and. while copciliatory toward The south,
intimates that the shotgun will not be allowed to
take the place of the rifle. There is a distinct,
manly, ringing recognition of one term for the
Presidency, which shows craftsmanship, and is i'll
all respects noble utterance, and bid for re-
ligious support on the school question, which is
demagoguery and unworthy of candidate for the
Presidency. The one term idea is the strong
point and the school idea the weak point in what
otherwise is fair commendable, statesmanlike
letter.
