CAUGHT IN THEIR own TRAP.

The GLOVER pointers and settlers, who
are scenting frauds in the Government, have
at length struck the trail of game-the first
of the season The New York Tribune says :;
" "GLOvER's head expert got on very fresh
trail it seems, and followed ii up so vgor-
ously: that he actually caught, not only one
Of the family, but himself 1t appears that
this expert was formerly Treasury agent,
and, while serving the Government in that
capacity, got hold of $4,000 of secret-ser-
vice money to use in the detection of SNUG
glcs. With this money it is said that the
detectives went to Canada and bought goods
and had them smuggled to New York. The
goods were seized and sold at sacrifice,
aud the detectives were awarded great
praise therefor, though no one was arrested.
The Canadian merchants of whom the pur-
chases were made charge that these agents
swindled them out of about 81 900 on
goods purchased on their credit as Govern
make large purchase in addition, for which
they offered bogus check for $4,000. In
the latter case the merchant to whom they
offered the check had the forethought to tel
eSraph the bank on which the check was
drawn. He found that they had no funds
there, and accordingly refused the check,
These facts were not all brought out by the
GLOVER committee, but appear from docu-
ments in the Treasury Department. GLo.
YER lost all interest in the trail so soon as
it began to appear where it was leading"

THE Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sua denounced the sending of
General HANCOCK to New Orleans by Presi-
dent HAYES on political mission to Gov
ernor NICHOLS Us IAN unprecedented act,
even in this era of making preccdents"
This is very true. President GRANT was
often accused of using the military arm
of the Government for political purposes
but he never was truthfully charged with
using general officer rs u cat's-paw in pro-
noting the success of purely political in
trigue. SHERIDAN quelled riots as soldier
should; but HANCoCK-well, he obeycd

OFFICIAL DIRT THROWING.

The Hon. THOMAS b. BRYAN, Commis-
sOner of the District OF Columbia, in his
haste to throw shadow upon some of his
predecessors, has rushed into print in an
unsolicited letter to the chairman of the
Senate Committee, in which he reproduGes
and rovamps the stale ISLANDERS OF the New
York Sul relative to the late Board Of Pub

entirely mistakes the duties of his position.

The Dayton Ohio Journal says: Sen

from any paper on either side excepting
the melancholy Washington REPUBLICAN"
That comfort is sufficient for any ordinary
man, and for such statesman as Senator
HOWE has proved himself to be by his bold
and manly adherence to principle, it is suf-
ticient. The truth is, however, Mr.. HOWE
received as many words of approval as OF
blame or criticism from the press of the
country. 1t may be that the facts he put
forth ard our endorsement of them do

THERE seems to be strong determine
tiou -.. the part of the public press, if no.
where else, to put ex-senator FENToN into
General ARTHUR's shoes in the New York
custom-house. The Administration gives
no sign to indicate such a purpose on its
part, and we presume these rumos origi-
nate in the fact that the President has
shown marked respect for the talents, abili-
ties, and political good faith of those who
endeavored to beat GRANT in 1872, in max
ing up his jewels But this is an age OF
concliation, it must be remembered.

If it is true, as stated, that Senator WAL
LACE, of Pennsylvania, has ordered 10000
copies of Senator HowE's speech for circu-
lation in his State as campaign. document,
we are mistaken IN his shrewdness and
liberality as politician. He might as
well plant torpedoes around the Democratic
camp for his own people to explode, The
truths of that speech will never enthuse
the Democracy if they should study them
And then, Democrats don't read much, you

EDISON made a great discovery on the
first day Of April-one that beats the tele-
phone and phonograph all hollow. It was
nothing less than the manufacture Of food,
samples of which he produced, with the re-

MONTGOMERY BLAIRs egg has hatched,
notwithstanding repeated assertions that it
was added. The Maryland Legislature, by
two-thirds majority in both houses, passed
his resolution directing the legal officers OF
that State to test the legality of President
HAYES title to the Office Mr., TILDEN claims
to own. Now, what will be the result ?
viii MONTGOMERY and the State of Mary

WHEN that income-robber, Mr.. s. J. TIL
Den, remarked few weeks ago that his
affairs were in the hands of his legal ad-
visers,s he did not refer to the amount he
stole from the Government by not paying
his income-tax alone, but, as it now begins
to appear, to a renewed attempt to steal the
Presidency.

THOSE new" contracts, dated March 3,
1916, ordered by Secretary robson, and
about which 50 much has been said lately,
turn out to be simply an authorization to
old contractors who had already begun
work in their ship-yards to continue it,
subject to the action of Congress. Repre-
bensible Mr.. ROBEsON! He should be made
TO suffer for this, especially for allowing
Congress to have anything to do with it.

THE New York Tribune says that "vooR-
HE'S has been in Indiana long enough to
make speech. He told the Hoosiers that
the Democrats in Congress were not di-
vided, but were working in harmony against
resumption and contraction, thus giving the
Republican party entire credit for all that
has been done in the opposite direction.

cratic had shadow of prospect for years
of entering into power. He seems to he

it is so black and threatening, even when

THE President has made mistakes, but he
has shown no disposition to abandon the Re-
publican party Philadelphia hq"irsr.
This paragraph, brief as 1t is, is full of
truth-both negative and positive. That
the President has made mistakes there is
no doubt. And let us ask in this connec-
iion, has he shown decided disposition to
stand by the Republican party in the full
communion of integrityS Has he respected
its organization, its principles, and its
usages by planting himself squarely on the
Republican line and treating the Demo-
cratic party as its common enemy? If so,
we have not discovered it, neither do we
think such position can be sustained by
his measures and policies
