The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1877-12-06

Much delay, consequent upon the ae-
cusation of fraud in some of the awards,
has occurred in the distribution of the
limited amounts received from Venezu.
ella, under the treaty of April %, 1866,
to the awards of the joint
commission, created by that treaty. So
long as these matters are pending before
Congress, the Executive cannot assume
either to pass upon the question present.
ed or to distribute the fund received. 1t
is eminently desirable that definite leg
islstive action should be taken, either
affirming the award to be final, or provi-
ding some method for re-exsmination
of the claims.

also abroad, the nature of the silver
coinage measure as affecting this relation
of the Government to the holders of the
public debt becomes an element in any
proposed legislation of the highest cons
cern. The obligation Of the public faith
transcends all questions of profit or pubs

able maintenance is the dictate of the
highest expediency, as well of the most
necessary duty and will be ever carefully
guarded By Congress and the people
alike.

our free institutions of Government un>

Mans Degradation

FoI some time past it has been fire.
quently complained that 1t was unsafe for
ladies to walk along the pavements
early in the evening unaccompanied by
q male escort, there being crowd OF de-
graded !oaters and brutes who made it II
special business to insult them in divers
WAYS. The extent to which these black
guards have carried on their
nefarious practices has not gen.
orally been known, but is
forclbly illustrated by the fact that out Of
eleven cases before the police court yes.
terday morning, five of them were for
insulting ladies on the streets. As n
general rule the parties srraigned on this
charge, plead drunkenness rs an excuse,
but that should not serve rs a mitigation
