Pennsylvania designs sending out OF
her limits the lawless population of the
mining regions. or the surplus thereof,
not needed for actual service in the
mines. Hon. Hendrick B. Wright, of
the Luzerne District, is going to try to
secure government aid when Congress
meets, to enable large number of
these people to ''go West" The bill
which he proposes to iDtroduc provides
that the government shall furnish
teams, implements and money to the
emigrants, to enable them to settle on
farms.
This enterprise will cost about $5 ,oOo,-
600. No such special legislation is likely
to receive the attention of Congress. Ii
the government goes into the business
of settling up paupers as farmers and
furnishing everything, it will soon have
its hands full. There are thousands of
men besides the Pennsylvania miners
who would like very much to be given
such ''lift" In life. If such a measure
was to pass Congress, the government
would next be required to enter upon a
vast system Of public works for the ben

Pennsylvania wants to get rid of her
unemployed population, she should

A SHAME AND A DISGRACE.
The Manner I'm which the Engra wing
bureau Has Reen Carried On.
[CincinnAti Enquirer.

WASHINGTON. May 1.-Some days age
John Sherman appointed committee
to investigate the working of the Bu-
reau OF Engraving and Printing of the
Treasury Department. The committee
examined witnesses under oath, and
took the testimony Of a large mum Der
of the employees of the bureau. The
outcome OF the inquiry was the dismissal
Of Jewell, the chief of the bureau, and
the appointment of Mcpherson. This
dismissal implied that Jewell was turned
out for cause, and pressure has been
brought to bear on Sherman to give out
the report of the com mittee which made
the investigation. Yesterday he gave
out an extract from 1t, merely reciting
why the force In the bureau was re-
duced; but he withheld, for reasons not
satisfactorily explained, the more Inn
portant details. III rumor be true, the
committee paint Jewell, the ex-chief, as
a monster OF hideous mein.
1t is alleged that the testimony of some
OF the female employees was to the effect
that they were appointed, not because
their services to the government was an
object, but either because they had
yielded to the sensual appetite of the
head OF the bureau, or were the objects
OF his designs. The testimony tends to
show that the government had been sup
porting harem for the use Of Jewell
and such friends as he saw fit to invite
to share with him its benefits. Sherman
Is said to be so much surprised at the
evidence adduced that he is inclined to
keep it from the public il he can. His
course Is denounced by some, who init
mate that he Is trying to shield some of
the platonio shortcomings OF the late
Assistant Secretary Conant, and one or
two heads of Divisions of the Treasury
who still retain their places. In taking
this course he is doing an injustice to
such estimable women as are in the
department, and they are quite indig-
nant that they should be open to sus-
picion for while the report Of the COM
mite is kept quiet, they feel that the
good suffer with the bad, especially from
the shafts OF scandal hurled at them by
at least from the gossps. II
the Treasury has been run as bagnio,
John Sherman has no right to shield
those who patronized it, no matter how
highly plumed may be the birds who
will hutter,
