The Beecher-Tilton scandal is
getting into worse snarl than ever,
and, with all the shrewdness of the
managers on their side, the Ply
mouth church party are losing
ground rapidly. Their refusal to
abide by mutual council of which
Drs. Storrs and Buddington were
members was most unfortunate.
These gentlemen are too generally
known and highly esteemed for any
one to believe that they would be
partial in their action in a matter of
such grave Importance. And, again,
the efforts of some of the Plymouth
folks to destroy Mr.. Bowen's inhu-
ence and reputation by assertions
which they had no particle of evi-
dence to sustain, has tended not a
little to weaken their title to public
confidence.

Nowadays, however, they are
wholly unjust and unnecessary, for
the knowledge how to measure and
weigh for ourselves what we buy is
so universal that it is not likely that
any serious cheatery could be Sue

therefore, that sthe enforcement of
this ordinance will not be persisted
in, and that what fines have been
collected will be remitted, with costs
and expenses added, and that the

To those who are misled into op-
posing an appropriation for the Gen.
tennial, under the impression that
the State cannot afford it, we have
only space to say that we don't be-
lieve that $4,000 could be more
bene6cially expended, and we don't
believe that the State can afford to
limit its appropriation to less than
$4,000, We believe that an inad-
equate exhibition of the States
wealth and resources on that occa-
sion will do us serious injury, in that
it will convince the world that this
is an especially poverty-stricken,
unproductive and undesirable re-
gion, where people are far more
likely to starve than thrive. Where
the community is too poor to spend
money to make a showing at the
nations great jubilee festival. The
force of the charge that we are
guilty ofrepudiating our State bonds
would then have tenfold increased
effect.

"A glowing account Of successful
gold digging comes from the Black Hills.
1900 miners are said to be at work there
and more are constantly arriving; and
thirty four dollars worth Of gold are re-
ported to be found in a single pan, some
single nuggets being worth twenty dol
lars. The report comes by way of Bis
mark, from company that arrive there
on Sunday with mail and express, seems
to be well authenticated. It is claimed
that the placer diggings are rich and

tits not Always True.

There are those who often make
serious mistakes, unintentionally, no
doubt, but highly injurious. They
are apt to act from motives which
are so deeply hidden within their
own bosoms that they are hardly
conscious of their existence. Be-
ing incapable of comprehending the
"inner consciousness" of their own
mental organisms, they are often led
to believe that they are prompted
to certain courses of conduct by
influences which do not apd which
could not possibly control them.
These gentlemen oppose the ap-
preparation of any adequate sum OF
money for the Centennial Exposi-.
ton by this State, on the ground that
the State is too poor to make the
expenditure, and they declaim ear
nestly against such as favor the ap-
preparation. They pretend to be
influenced by desire for economy,
as some others sincerely are; but
those who make the most noise and
vaunt their opposition in season and
out of season, rarely ever think of
economy and could no more be in
fluenced by it than child in search
of Christmas toys.
Remember, that we simply assert
this as fact, and the gentlemen
themselves would acknowledge it,
if they possessed ability to analyze
their own sentiments and courage
to expose the results of such anal
ysis. Instead of its being a regard
fo' economy that ails them, it is only
a feeling of opposition towards the
exhibition. They don't like the
Centennial, and having said it would
be a failure, they want their predic-
ton to come true, and intend to do
what they can to prevent its success.
This is what is the matter with them.
We don't feel called upon to tell
why these gentlemen dislike the
Centennial; but may be permitted
to say that the peculiar class we al
lude to have not been perfectly sat-
is6ed with any public event that has
transpired since 1860, and don't in
tend ever to be satisfied again if they
can help it. Away down in the
uttermost depths of their innermost
deepness they silently wish that
nothing would succeed again; that
the whole blasted thing would burst.
They would almost hail the final
consummation with gladness, and 60
down below rejoicing in the nnt-
| versal failure.

The Wood Ordinance.

Doc. Potter used to say: IF you
think you've got man in your pow
er, skin him. If he whines, kick
him. If he kicks back, swear it was
all a joke and apologize. We think
it is now about time for the authori-
ties of Red Wing to swear that the
wood-measuring ordinance was all
joke, and to apologize for it to the
justly indignant wood sellers of
Pierce county. We wanted to de-
nounce it last week, but were asham-
ed to. We were ashamed to con.
fess that. in this city, the ruling pow
ers had so little regard for the public
interests, or so little foresight as to
he consequences Of their acts, as to
undertake the enforcement of an
ordinance for which no tolerably
reasonable excuse can be given.
But the wood-haulers Of Pierce
county have placed the matter prom
inently before the public now, by
the publication of the manly pro-
test which will be found in another
column, and there is no longer any
excuse for our silence.
1t is pretended that the ordinance
is for the protection of the buyers
of wood, but this pretence is an in
suit to both seller and buyer, for its
inference is that the former is a
knave who will cheat if he can, and
the latter a fool who won't know
when he is cheated. The city
might, with the same propriety, send
a measurer into every store with
every customer who comes along,
and insist upon his measuring every
yard or gallon, and weighing every
pound or ounce of goods that is sold,
and exacting fee for so doing; for
mankind are pretty much alike,
whether they are merchants or wood
haulers, and those who buy at the
stores have no opportunity of de-
tern1ining whether the yard-sticks
are too short, the liquid measures
too small, and the weights too light,
or whether the weighing and meas
uring is done correctly. Why not
protect them2
We do not believe that the en-
fo1cement of this ordinance would
save to single buyer stick of
wood or dime Of money in an en-
tire season; but that it will embitter
our neighbors and induce them to
withdraw their patronage from us is
evident. And the worst of it is, it
gives them cause for becoming just
ly incense1, for it imposes an unjust
tax upon them; one which we would
resist if we were in their places. In
old times, and under monarchical
governments, there was some excuse
for such laws as this, inasmuch as
the practice of weighing and meas.
uring every mans surplus products
gave the taxing and tithlng officers

Mr.. Clymer'S Fix,

To use homely expression, Hester ely
mer, M. c. of Pennsylvania is in bad fix.
No one expected he was q reformer; but
those who have watched him in Congress
have concluded that he was very fair kind
of man-much better than Sam Randall, for
instance. But the revelations of the past
week indicate tina. Mr.. Clymer is a fraud,
As the Democratic chairman of Democratic
Committee he undertook to make all the DO
ltical capital he could out of the wr retcbed
Belknap business. In doing this he not only
blundered throughout, but stands to- day con.
vcted before the country of a deliberate at
tempt to prostitute the investigation in such
way as to strike some Republicans and
shield equally guilty Democrats. Mr.. Cly-
mer had better get down out of sight No
such shyster is wanted as an investigator;
for more scandalous attempt to use the
name of justice for the most unjust and fla
grant partisanship is not often seen.
In the first place it has been conclusively
demonstrated that Mr. Clymer was response
BILE for the escape Of Marsh, whose testimony
alone could convict Belknap. He did more
than this; he actually hurried the witness
out OF Washington, promising TO send his
fees after him. By this course Mr.
Clymer has thus far defeated The prose-
cution of Beknap, stopping the i'm
peachment and preventing criminal in
dictment. But this might have been excused
on the ground of gross stupidity until we
came to understand all there was behind it.
Then what was stupid and blundering before
becomes piece of public treachery and tur-
ptude. In vain has Mr.. Clymer tried to
smother the disclosure. 1t has come out in
spite of him.
What are the facts? Mr.. Clymer was in-
formed that any thorough investigation of
Belknap's corruption would involve one OF
the most conspicuous Democrats in the coun-
try, Geo. Ell. Pendleton. He was advised
that Mr.. Pendleton. has secured from Gen.
Belknap the allowance of large and worth
less claim; that the claimant had re eceived
only small portion of it; that Pendleton was
the friend of Mrs. Belknap; that there was a
strong presumption that Pendletou had di-
Vlded with Mrs. Beknap as Marsh had done.
In short the case of Pendleton and Mrs.
Belknap was similar to that of Marsh and
Mrs. Belknap except that it was on grander
scale and that Mrs. Marsh could give some
interesting testimony on the subject. Mr..
Clyrner knew this before Marsh left Wash
ington.
Now what did Investigator Clymer do
about this Pendleton scandal? Did he stop
Marsh? Did he summon Mrs. Marsh? Not

The attempt to defeat the election of Geo.
William Curtis to the New York state con-
vention was unsuccessful.
Jerry Black thinks it will take something
more than the Belknap scandal to float the
Democrats into power.
1t will pay to overhaul the characters, pub
lie and private, of the senators who are afraid
Mr.. Richard FL. Dana is dishonest.
Since PendletOn's confession that he got
$4,000 as fec for serving as attorney for
the Kentucky Railroad Company, hundreds
OF dry-goods clerks throughout the country
have thrown up their positions aud began the
study of law.
The New York World, Democratic leader
so far as it can be, alludes to the greenback
convention in its state as ian omnibus load
of blatherskites, bankrupts, and busted polti.
cians," with "a decided Hiberntan .fauor''
about them.
For the last fortnight every morning paper
has contained the telegraphic announcement
that "another Democratic congressman
has been detected in dishonorabe transac-
tiols" Isn't there to be any end TO this
thing?
1t appears that Toombs is meditating re-
ply to the recent speech of Senator Gordon.
Free speech tn Georgia is not to be objected

1t Is the Administration that will bring back
Marsh if he ever comes-its opponents, if
anybody, are trying to prevent it.
"The collapse of the Republican party has
tally set in," says the Concord IN. H. Patri.
OF. We hope there are 'collapses" enough
to go rounI in November.

the canard to the effect that Mr.. Boutwell,,
when Secretary OF the Treasury, requested a
contribution Of 100000 from Henry Cews,
in 1872, to carry the election in Penns,l-
vania, promising secret information by which
he could reimburse himself in the Stock Ex-
change.

The copyright dispute between himself and
Governor Lawrence is paltry affair at best,
and as question affecting Mr.. Dana's fitness
for the English mission is of about as much
Importance as the famous dispute between
the B g-endians and the Little endians. The
attempt to besmirch Mr.. Dana is merely the
routine effort Of the hack politicians to black
en- the character of a gentleman when he pre-
snmes to iDtrude upon their preserves.-N.

Inc sum total Of the charges made against
Mr.. Dana is that he bas been involved in q
technical copyright difficulty. Nobody doubts
his personal honesty, his high character. or

What wonderful tender conscience
the American Senate has suddenly ACQUIRED
respecting the rights of literary property II
is about to reject the nomination of Mr.. Da
ma as minister TO England on the ground
that-he appropriated some notes unprotected
by copyright) of another editor of "Whea
ions Law of Nations" although this virtuous
body has again and again refused to take an,
action for the protection of the literary prop
erty of English authors whose works ar,
pirated by American publishers to the nam
fest injury of the foreign authors whose la
boIs are thus habtuaily stolen, and of Amer
can authors, the value of whose copyrights
is impaired or destroyed by the competition
OF these stolen productions. 1t is truly re
freshing spectacle 10 see the Senate so sensi
tive to the rights of literary property after the
utter indifference to the rights which the
same body has always, heretofore, exhibited.
N. Y. Herald.
OF the possible rejection of Mr.. Dana, the
Worcester Spy says: "We do not believe it
readily. because it seems to US impossible for
the Republican members of that committee,
or any of them, to do anything so unreasona-
BILE, so stupid, and so disgraceful to them
selves. 1t is hardly possible for the Presi-
dent to make another nomination as good as
this. Mr.. Dana has, in a high degree, every
qualification the position demands; and the
Republicans who report against him will
need to give very strong reasons for doing so
reasons that cannot now be discovered or
dreamed of by the liyeliest imagination ou:-
side of the Senate" t-..
The Sun has no patience with the fuss
kicked up by Mr.. Lawrence, with Buffers as
sistance, over Mr. Dana's 'plagiarsms."
Ridiculous and contemplate, it exclaims; "a
more foolish hubbub was never made about
nothing"
IfDana ever did have the patience to read
through any of the writings of the prolx Will
liam Beach Lawrence, he ought to be pun
ished for it; and much more if he afterward
beguiled the public into reading them by
adopting them as his own. No fate is to-
dreadful for such moDster.-Ne,v York

Mr.. CIymer volunteering to forward his fees.
Had there been no publication of the fact
this same investigator would have smothered
the inquiry altogether Now that public dis
cussion has forced the show of an investiga-
tion, il appears evident that Mr.. C'ymer de-
liberately designed TO stiae the most scandal
Gus corruption for the sole purpose of con-
cealiDg the swinde of his partisan friend
Pendleton.
Mr.. Clymers purpose is now clear to all.
The whole transaction was a deliberate at
tempt to expose Republicans and protect
Democrats. 1t was inspired by the most un-
scrupulous partisanShip. This is fair SAM
pie of Democratic sincerity.
