4 FRU7TZESS QUEST.

The discreditable system of investiga.
ton adopted by the Democratic party dur.
ing this year was never more aptly Illus
trated than in the recent case of the kittery
Navy Yard A sub committee, without
notice to any Of the parties interested,
makes hurried visit to the yard, exam
ines witnesses behind closed doors, and
returns to Washington, one at least of its
members sending back mysterious dis
patches full of vague suggestions of wick
edness discovered and unearthed. But
when the facts do come out, they are found
to be of as little importance to the govern
rlent as the manner of getting at them
was grossly unfair to the persons whose
pecuniary interests are concerned. It ap-
pears that one G.. w. Griflilhs contracted
to build the sloop of war enterprise. On
account of change OF plans, delays and
extra work be claimed $l5, 900, which, i,
is said vas allowed him. 1t is said that
tbs ought not to have been allowed.
Whether it ought or not, one thing is GER
tan-people will not decide such matter
on the statement of subcommittee OF
three which sat with closed doors and did
not dare to give the contractor chance to
think they can make partisan capital by
such performances as this, but they are
badly mistaken. The average Democrat
may be a fool. but the average citizen is
not. These vague and CT pdrte accusa-
tions may temporarily beguie some Of the
weaker ones, but they don't permanently
help the Democrats. The few weak Re-
publicans who are deluded into wavering
by this sort of thing-like those who fol-
son-are sure to come back, for one dose
of Democracy goes great way as a pre-
ventive of more.
The barren result of this much heralded
inquisilion is very gratifying as testi-
monal to the general good management
of the Navy Yard, and the general good
conduct of the numerous officials con-
nected herewith. 1t is certain that il any
delinquency, however small, had existed,
| it would have been made much of in iusti-
fication of the fierce accusations and por.
tcntous prophecies which preceded the
investigation.
1t is but just to add that one member OF
the commttee-a Democrat, too-frankly
admitted after the examination that they
had failed to find anything wrong.

Two important Discoveries! The discovery of
America by Columbus, and Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery; the one opening up to man
kind new continent, the other fountain Of
health, which is indispensable to the full enjoy
ment of life and its blessings In response to the
above sentiment come the unsolicited attestations
of tens of thousands of grateful parents, who have
been relieved of chronic ailments through its in
strumentality. Those voices are limited to no one
locality, but from every city, village, and hamlet
in our broad domain, as well as from other climes,
and in the strange utterances of foreign tongues,
unteigned and hearty commendations. 1t is, in
combination with the Pleasant Purgative Pellets,
the great depurator OF the age. Under its benign
action erupuons disappear, excessive waste is
checked, the nerves are strengthened, and health
long banished from the system, resumes her reign
and re-establishes her roseate throne upon the
check. All who have thoroughly tested its vir-
tues in the diseases for which it is recommended
unite in pronouncing it the great Medical Discov-
cry of the age. apl5- tsodSwlw

AID TO THE RAILROAD.

The Portland Press commenting upon
the recent railroad meeting in this city,
remarks that the proposition to loan the
credit of the city tor 5000, 900 must have
thrown GOODNESS over the Augusta por-
ton of the meeting, and that people
amt quite so willing to vote railroad aid
as they were."
To those who were present at the meet
ing the remark of the Press about the
Goodness" which came over the meeting
at the announcement that city aid would
be required is simply laughable. The
hearty applause which greeted the remarks
OF the speaker who made the announce
ment, and the enthusiasm manifested un-
til the meeting adjourned with loud cheers,
gave no sign of any Goodness" 1t was
q business meeting, of business men,
called together for sensible purpose, its
objects being as well known to our citizens
before the assemblage met as after it adj
journed.
The building of the Wiscasset and Que
bee railroad is no new topic to our citi-
zens. The enterprise has been agitated
many years, but movements in Canada
have been awaited At last As miles on the
Canadian side have been built and means
secured to build the whole route to the
boundary line. On this side of the line
25 miles have been constructed and the
cars are running over it daily. Augusta
now being assured that the Canadians are
in earnest to have the line built through
to Wiscasset, finds that the time has
come for her to move. Hence the late
meeting.
While it is true that in some localities in
the country, owing to unfortunate expert
ence in the construction of railroads some
'people amt quite so willing to vote rail-
''road aid as they were" the experience
of Augusta in voting railroad aid has been
such as to encourage her to 90 forward
twenty-five years ago Augusta voted aid
to the Portland and Kennebec road to the
amount of 100000. The road could not
have been built without such aid 1t was
a hard struggle to obtain it, but when the
test came the people voted almost unani-
mously for it. The liabilities then incur.
red have been paid, without expense to
the city treasury, and the city is entirely
free from its obligations. Certainly such
an experience as this in voting aid should
be favorable rather than unfavorable to a
second venture of similar kind.
