SUPPRESSION OF ?WEkD'S STATENENT

SUPPRESSION OF 2WEEDS SETTLEMENT
There is a general demand by the news
papers, irrespective Of politics, for the pub
LEGATION of Twccd's statement in full. Not
withstanding the fact that its publication
would involve the acceptance of Tweed as a
witness and his consequent release this appears
also to be the feeling of the people generally.
There is no better use apparently to which
Tweed can now beput than as awtness to supply
such evidence as will defeat in the city's
interest the suits for several millions now
pcndng against it by fraudulent claimants,
and the exposure in the interest of the whole
State of the corrupt officials who have hereto
fore been bribed by the Ring.
Mr. Controller Kelly has suffered, not unnat-
urally, from the suspicion of having used his
knowledge of the statement submitted by
Tweed for the purpose of influencing pending
legislation. Mr.. Fairchild now suffers under the
suspicion that he has given out through Mr..
Kelly fragments of the statement injurious to
Republicans and Anti-Tammany Democrats
while concealing much that is equally injuri-
GUS to his own party friends. 1t is asserted
that the statement has been III the hands
of Mr.. Tilden since the day after its de-
livery at Albany 10y Mr.. Townsend, and
that Mr.. Tilden has been examining it
with the view of ascertaining just where and
whom it strikes. Mr.. Tilden is SO case
hardened politician that a report that he
intends using the Tweed statement for his
personal benefit may do him little injury but
the more tender Attorney General would DO
politically ruined by such suspicion.
Tho stntemcut If il IA Ia he accented nj all,
should be used at once and fully. After what
has been made public, 1t is idle to say that
the publication in full would put the criminals
on their guard. All who know themselves
to be guilty are already looking to their
safety. After Mr.. Kelly's testimony has been
published, the enforced reticcnce of Tweed by

POLITICS IND PROHIBITION

The new, very latest, and most effective
prohibitOry measure has come to grief In the
Massachusetts House of Representatives JOG
to III. SO the State falls back for another
year at least upon the present moderate law,
which is based mainly upon the plan OF Local
Option. During the debate in the House last
week which preceded the rejection of the
bill, rather curious scene occurred. Mr.. L. w.
Bird of Walpole was among the opponents of
the measure, and ~ usual vas pretty lively
and vigorous one. He made long speech
and at the close of it he darei tn Prohibition
lists or the Republicans to pass the bill. If
you do it," said Mr.. Bird, "you will be
whipped out of your boots next Fall" This
was indeed rather an alarming way of putting
the matter; but Mr.. Bird knew his men, and
they knew him. "YOu will be swept from
"your warm seats,r said Mr.. Bird. And then
they voted AS afOresaid-117 Nays to 100
Yeas at which Mr. Bird must have felt I'M
commonly comfortable.
For thirty years this Prohibition question has
more or less affected the politics of Massachu-
sets. SO long az the Republicans believed that
majority of the voters were IN favor OF q
stringent Maine law they supported or made
a show of supporting it. The Democrats were
upon the other side partly through the force of
circumstances and partly from conviction, and
now and then they had their little triumphs.
But unquestionably rs Mr.. Bird said during
the debate the ether day. majority of the
people of the State arc opposed to the law and
to tho principle Of Prohibition.
The result of the vote should be, once for
all, to take this vexed question out of politics.
and hereafter to prevent party leaders
from trading upon the cOnsciences and the
benevolent feelings of the philanthrOpic
voters. Democrats and Republicans, by every
rule of common sense, should be found work
ing together to secure a good law regulating
the traffic, not only in Massachusetts, but here
in New York. where the whole business OF
regulation has lapscd into muddle, so that
we hardly know where we are or what the
law is. We shall he no better of until both
parties agree TO separate what is really a
question of social science from other questions
which are OF a purely political character, and
upon which parties are thoroughly divided.

risks in other cities may result. The board no
longer will fix the rates for risks in other cities
Doubtless the agents of the New York companies
who will constitute the "lOcal boards" 1or
long time will follow the old traditions OF
rating risks; but after while competition
will bring about considerable variations
Whether the change will help our companies
in the long run seems doubtful; probably they
have yielded to it because they could not
help il.

upon politics and parties Besides the three gentle
men named there was but other person present

lively, chatty, and agreeable, and not disposed
to be merely listener at the entertain

mites of your life; one which will probably never
again occur. / wish Won would take good look at

The Democratic party seems to be getting itself
into nice state of mind. Most Of the State officials
at Albany declined an invitation TO meet Secretary
Evarts because, according to one of the party Or
gans, they do not recognize Mr. Evarts Secretary
of State, and do not recognize the gentleman who
appointed him as President. They stayed away
from Mr.. Cowdn's reception simply for the reason
that thoir presence might be construed recogniz-
ing the official position which Mr.. Eyarts holds
at Washington" II this is the preposterous attitude
Of the party, we should like to know what the
Democratic Senators at Washington meant by voting
for Mr. Evartss confirmation TO a" the position which
he now holds"

An interesting idea in the training of the children
of poor people is being introduced ut some of the
mission schools for girls in this city. A practical
difficulty has often been encountered in the past by
those engaged in this class of benevolent work Ii
has been tho lack of useful industry to teach to
the children which should be of such q char
acter that the practice of it would bene-
fit them physically and financially, and ee-
vate and sustain their minds and spirits.
Sewing has been. and is largely taught at tho mis-
sion schools and proves Of service TO great many
struggling people but all the world knows of the
painfully small compensation paid for sewing and
the protracted and exhausing nature of the labors
of those who strive to earn q living by it. Those
who know of the experience of sewing women can
tell tales which make the heart sick. The new idea
i. TO train the children of the poor scientifically in
housekeeping duties; that is, how TO spread the
table elegantly, how to clear it and. dispose of the
aud so on, and to give them such thorough drill
in these arts that the children will become compe-
tent holsekeepers. 1t is already found that the new
idea for mission work is useful. 1t not only infuses
a new element of order and comfort into the homes
of the poor people whose children thus trained,
a great gain by itself, bat it enables the girls to
obtain better paying and more satisfactory NmplOy-
ment and IN homes where personal interest is
taken i'm their welfare This Kitchen Garden as it
ia called is attracting considerable attention among
the benevolent and permission has already been
obtained to teach It ia BE Far West among the In

The Wamsutta strikers are not satisfied wit
nine weeks of self enforced idleness and priva-
ton. Notwithstanding the reports which had
been sent out that the strike was already viz
tually at an end, they have determined by a
vote of more than four to one that the terms
proposed to them by their employers should
be rejected and the strike should continue.
This means. doubtless, many weeks more of a
stubborn resistance to the inevitable, which
will prolong suffering that has lasted too long
already.

Attachments OF Waues.

Nr. Editor Will you allow me
space in your columns to make a few
remarks relative to this subject in the
interests of the laborer in our State,
and, as understand it, in vindica-
tion Of the laws thereof. AS you,
in common with this community, are
aware, practice has grown up here,
recently sanctioned by decision of
one of the judges of this circuit,
which, whilst it has produced spirit
of discomfort amongst the large class
of our people whom it so seriously
affects, has also evoked the censure of
every law-abiding and public spirited
citizen amongst us. A practice, sell
fish, inhuman and cruel, in the in
terest of few and to the detriment of
the many, contrary, not only to con-
stitutional provisions and legislative
ehactments, put contrary to the ordi-
nary impulses of the human heart
that characterize and ennoble human
ity everywhere. A practice that takes
under a foreign jurisdiction and by a
sham process of law the last and only
dollar from the laborer that has earn
ed it, and leaves him and his family
to beggary or starvation. And all
this in open violation of the letter and
spirit of the plainest laws of the land,
both federal and State, and with
nothing to resi- upon but the baseless
fabric of the judicial decision refer
red to.

temperance.
June 81, 1877.

Mr.. Editor doubtless you have
noticed the controversy upon "local
option" in the Allcganian. In my
last letter I summed up local op-
ton in a nutshell. 1t is a thing of
political being without doubt, design
ed to influence the next Legislature
to enact certain measures which are
to form the basis of ring to capture
the state government.
For some reason | know not the A.
1eganian declined to publish my letter.
l presume my language was too sharp
But had said in that paper that I
would write temperance letter.
With your permission l will keep my
word.
If we examine the teachings of the
Apostle we find temperance inculcated
by them. Drunkenness is a shocking
crime; it kills both body and sonl.
From it springs stupidity, tediousness,
uncleanness, brawls, contentious, pro-
fuseness, poverty, destruction of all
virtues, and long chain of discusses
and death to body and soul.
Look well to yourselves, lest perhaps
your hOarts be overcharged with surfeit-
ing and drunkenness-Luke xxi, "a.
