From the mouth of the Illinois to
Cairo, $50 miles. 50O.O0O
From Cairo to New Orleans, 1000
These amounts are for a specific purpose,
namely, the deepening of the channel of the
rlve- from st. Paul to New Orleans. and are
for an entirely different purpose than the
appropriations annually made for the clear
ing out of the snags and lighting the river:
and considerable portion of the amount
thus asked for. and also of the annual appro-
prlatlons, as above stated. should be charge
able to the Ohio. Tennessee. Cumberland
ana other rivers, from the fact that the com
nerce OF all these rivers floats on the Miss
issippl below the mouth of the Ohio to the

Inc entirety of these appropriations to the

II Will be seen that the committee does
not ask for fabulous amount. with view

Louis, which is neither considered Droctir-

RIDING AND W4LKING.

The hackmen and liyerymen generally
have become somewhat excited over a con-
test as to advancing the prices of riding.
Without being very familiar with the merits
of this important controversy, we confess
ourselves at a loss to perceive any good
reasons for advancing the prices
of anything just about these
times. The times, according to the expe-
rience of all, are not very flush, no advance
has taken place in labor or in horse feed, and
unless the iverymen design adopting the
doctrine of prohibition, and stopping the
habit of riding altogether, their object is one
of the hidden things of the universe.
We are not SO sure, by the way, but that
good might be accomplished by the advance
of prices. It is very evident that many peo-
pie are in the habit of riding whose exchequer
can not afford it, and this piece of ex-
travagance would at least be Topped off. Be
sides their health would be greatly promoted
by the exercise of walking. It would be a
step in the way of economy, and one that
might not be without it's corresponding
benefit to the liverymen, thus both classes
would be benefited, the one by being COM
PEELED to economic, and the other by having
fewer bad bills to collect.

WILL RUSSIA BACK DOWN ?

On this question depends war. It is more
than probable that Russia will moderate the
terms of peace. The RussianT Turkish war
was farce. There was nothing to Turkey.
It was ready to fall to pieces, and no
sooner had the Russian forces
crossed the Danube than down
it tumbled. But Russia will find that war
with England means something more, and
unfortunately the Gar is in no condition to
keep an army in the field.
With all the vast resources of the Russian
Empire, the government is well-nigh bank
rupt. England holds the purse strings
of the world, and is rich in money,
and in men drilled and disciplined
to perfection. Her soldiers fight like men,
and if it shall happen, that France be joined
with England, then the two richest nations
on the earth will be pitted against one
crippled in resources and with impaired pub
lie credit. The result will not be doubtful,
the Russians will retreat from Constantine
pie and the ascendency of England and
France re-established on the Continent.
The war, however, will be no child's play,
but a long and terrible struggle, involving,
perhaps finally, all the continental powers.
England has slowly advanced to the position
where the only alternative is war. There has
been long and anxious efforts for peace.
Russia must now determine, and upon her
decision will rest the question Of war.

MIR. Thomas G. Shearman and some other
prominent members of Mr.. Beecher,s
church, seem to be responsible for the fol-
lowing interview, printed to-day, with refer
ence to the rumored reconciliation of Theo-
dore Tilton and his wife. Mr.. Sherman is
represented as saying that Tilton has for
some time been trying to effect rconcilia

to have anything to do with him, but finally
consented to live with him again, if he would
make full retraction of everything he had
alleged against her character. This Mr.. Til
ton refused to do. Tilton had long inter
view with his wife recently, and the result
was that definite arrangements had been
made whereby they were soon to be reunited
as man and wife and go to Europe together.

OPEN ON SUNDAY.
IN POLITICS., OR POL
ITICS IN TEMPERANCE.

Has the temperance question come to this
alternative? The professional temperance
orators, lecturers, and essayists, at last, be-
gin to realize that there can be no politics
in temperance. The moment temperance
organization becomes political club, it is a
case of suicide. An attempt to use vir-
tue for political preferment is
the same as the lawyer or physician who
prostitutes the church for practice, or the
preacher who wears it's robes for money.
Temperance is one of the cardinal virtues
bequeathed to mankind to exalt into free
nor into personal degradation. We must
leave out of this way of
considering, the softening influences
and divine assistance of organized morality.
Laws can never change the moral nature of
man. Compulsion never made man good.
Force can create no emotions except those
of resistance, and the human will can no
more be chained than could Xerxes chain
the waves.
Education, and by education We mean not
merely literary culture, Dut thorough us
cipline of head, heart and body, this kind of
education is the great secret of temperance
in all things. Prohibition does not mean
temperance. It is the essence of legislative
intemperance; it is a dangerous principle,
because an attack on mans free will 1t ia
the doctrine of Calvin's religion, smoth-
cred with the fires around Servetus
at the stake. A man compelled by bayonets
or compulsory laws to attend church de-
serves no credit for compliance. Such a
doctrine would reproduce an age when re-
sistance to tyranny was the voice of God.
But of all things, temperance in politics
is desirable. On that platform all may meet
and greet each other in fraternal
accord. Temperance in politics
would Danish from the lecture
field itinerant beggars, from the halls of
Congress the bribers and the bribed, from
society the pulling sycophants of influence,
would overturn the money tables in the tenn
pie of God, and expel from it's pulpits the
political preachers of the Bible. By all
means let us have temperance in politics.

The management of these roads has been
gigantic swindle from the beginning. They
have passed from the hands of one set of
SPECTATORS into those of another, until
finally they have reached the clutches of
Jaw Gould, the Wall street gambler.
Gould deserves no recognition by Con-
gres. On the contrary, wherever Congress
can interpose, the Legislative power should
be used to arrest the concentration of these
corporations into the hands of one man, and

THE INTERROGATION SHOULD PRO
CEED.


CEED.
The Senate Insane Asylum investigating
committee made most serious error in
adjourning until July. Senator Doran, the
chairman of the committee, has returned
from his trip to Omaha, and is now in the
city. The investigation, as far as it went,
revealed shocking condition of affairs, and
we have excellent reason to believe that
only small fraction of the in
iquity has yet been developed.
There are some three OF four
important witnesses in St. Paul who are
liable to soon leave the city, and their testi-
mony should be obtained at once There
are also witnesses in Minneapolis, and doubt
less in other parts of the State, who are
liable to be missing unless their evidence is
obtained now.
Only 1.-THE of the brutality and maltreat-
ment of patients has been developed, while
the confinement of persons who are sane,
and the financial management of the
institution, has not been touched at
all. There is reason to believe that
there are many cases of persons who are
now sane, who are still retained, and others
who have never been insane who are kept
in confinement. The committee can learn
of these cases and ascertain their truth very
readily, and they should do SO.
The insane asylum management started
with bulldozing, and this adjournment is a
victory for them. They retain the brutal
Belts (who ought to be in the
penitentiary Notwithstanding the expo
sure, and defend him. That IS enough
to cover all concerned with infamy.
The committee owe it to themselves, to the
State and to all who have friends in the asy-
lum, not to let this investigation lag or be
delayed. All benefit will be lost if this post
ponement is adhered to. The committee
should go to the bottom, and go at once.
DR.. Bartlett and the Rev. Kerr ask moth
ing better than delay. It gives them
an opportunity to spirit away and
intimidate witnesses and in various
ways to cover up their wrong doing.
There is every reason for the investigation
to proceed at once and no valid reason for
delay. In behalf of the people who have a
right to be protected, we most earnestly urge
the immediate reassembling of the commit
tee and the completion of their work be-
fore another adjournment

NOONAN OR NORMAN,
Getting SIS in the Wrong Letter and Being

Getting $15 in the Wrong Letter and Being
Held in 81 900 Bail.
The preliminary examination of Thomas
Norman on charge of personating Thomas
Noonan in obtaining $15 on post Office
order at Minneapolis, was continued yester-
day before Commissioner Cardoza.
Mr.. J. E. Hughes, clerk in the post Office
at Minneapolis, was called, and produced the
book in which carriers receipt for registered
letters taken out of the post Office by them.
Being sworn, he said he had examined the
book, and found no letter addressed to
Thomas Noonan entered from the Goth to
the oath of January inclusive; heard the tes-
timony of Norman yesterday, but had no
knowledge of the circumstances sworn to-:
Norman was stranger to him; it is not
the rule of the Office to pay money to strang-
ers without satisfactory evidence being taken
that they we're the persons entitled to receive
payment.
ross-examined by Mr.. O'Brien-Exam-
ined the book back as far as January 18th
or earlier; found no such name and no let
ter recorded from Rockford, Illinois; it is
the custom of carriers delivering valuable
letters to deliver them only to the persons
to whom they are di rected, and get receipt
for the same in a book carried for the pur-
pose.
A. P. Courtney, letter carrier, sworn, said
he was letter carrier in Minneapolis in
January last: did not know Norman per-
sonally; knew him by sight; his residence is
in witness district; have delivered letters at
his house; have with me the registered let
ter receipt book; it contains entries of all
registered letters delivered by me in January
last. Book offered in evidence.) No regis
tered letter was receipted for by Norman;
that week (Jan. 20th) do not recollect deliv-
ering registered letter to Norman; if I had
it would have been receipted for in the book.
Cross examined Often delivered letters at
his house; there is no other carrier on my
routes; there has been no other duringaany
part of January.
Re-direct-Never had book covered with
canvas.
The prosecution here rested.
Mr.. O'Brien consulted with United States
Attorney Billson, asking him if the prosecu-
ton would withdraw by defendant paying for
clined to do so, when Mr.. o Brien entered into
an able defense of his client, occupying
three quarters of an hour. Mr.. Billson re-
piled for the State, after which Commissioners
Cardozo said he had given a careful and pa
tient hearing to counsel on both sides, and
had followed the evidence m1nute!y and was
sorry he couldn't comply with the request of
counsel for defendant. His duty was plain
and he must commit defendant for trial, but
would accept bail in $1,000, but if council
for the State was agreed, he would consent
to a reduction.
Mr.. O'Brien asked that bail be reduced to
$500. MIR. Billson objected, but would have
no objection to reduce the bail providing

longer any doubt that prominent Democrats
are preparing bill to provide for testing
the title of President Hayes in the supreme
court. Until within a few days it has been
the expectation that it would be ready tosin-
troduce to morrow. The understanding is
that the bill is already drawn, but that events
in Louisiana have made further delay neces-
sary. It cannot be ascertained who has the
bill in possession, but it is known that the
movement had its origin with MI. Tilden
and his New York legal advisers. The pur-
pose of the bill is to give the supreme court
full machinery for prosecuting all branches
of such a case.
