With all their fierceDess for investigation the
Democratic members Of the Potter investigating
committee seem little backward in coming
forward. Nobody appears anxious to lead off

chairmen of investigating committees. Like the

think. if they don't say, "You're all going to the

Mr. Sargent made the telling point that i'll addition
to the enormous expense for printing and binding
which these Overgrown editions of bulky
volumes were constantly saddling on the
country, the cost of the railroad mail
service, which is paid for according to the weight
of mail matter carried was at the same time very
materially increased. Year after year the receipts
of the Post Office Department keep falling behind
the expenditures and year after year Congress- by
its liberal printing and diffusion OF worthless docu
ments helps to keep up this runous amount of out
lay for postal service BY the decision of the SEN

will be burdened with at least 100 extra
tons of dead matter. and the proportion holds
with all the rest If the farmers of the country de-

Mr. Hale, by objecting to several features of
Mr.. Hewtt's Army bill as new legislation,
which did not propose reduction of expendi-
ture, and therefore out of place in an appro-
priation bill, succeeded in forcing them out
yesterday. The application of little common
sense and a few points of order to Mr..
Hewitt's bill, will soon alter it beyond even
paternal recognition.

and if it is untrue. it ought to be easy for the
Board of Health to prove it.

The full purport of Count Schouvaloii's
scheme is still withheld from the public. 1t
occupied the attention of the British Cabinet
for three hours yesterday and is to
be the subject of deliberation again to-day.
| The semi-oficial announcements indicate, how
ever, the general terms of the compromise.
1t is clear that Russia agrees to revise the
boundaries of the new Bulgaria. to reduce
considerably the war indemnity, and TO enter
a congress convened to consider what changes
are necessary in the Treaty OF Paris" On tne
other hand, Russia holds pcrsistently to her
] claim for the retrocesslon OF Bes-
sarabia and declines to have the Treaty
| of San StefanO treated as absO-
lutely invalid, however much she may
be disposed to modify its provisions. The
prospects of peace are unQueStiOnably improved
by the Russian concessions, although there Is
still ample scope for disagreement. Eng
land has defined her essential oblec-
| ton to the San StefanO Treaty to be, that
| it places Russia in a position when
gives her an absolute preponderance over
any Power in relation to the Ottoman Empire.
| Count Schouvaloff's plan does not wholly de-
stroy this ascendency. but it reduces the addi-
tionql gains which England might expect from
war to very small proportions The game
would not be worth the candle.
There is another confict-say rather. col
lsiOn-of veracity between two eminent DEM
ocratic statesmen-tht Hon. James O'Bricn and
the Hon. Francis NJ BiXby. Mr. OBrien, 1t
has been reported, has lately enjoyed highly
confidential interview respecting local politics
with Mr.. Tilden, IN which the latter eXpresscdthe
hope that there would be union Of all the
| anti -Tammany elements against Tammany
Hail. Mr.. Bixby, being asked if the state
! ment is true, cheerily responded, 80, yes, in
"deed; O'Brien told me all about it him
"self.o Mr.. O'Brien, being asked and
being evidently unaware that Mr.. Bixby
had already, as it were, made donation
of him to a charitable object, or, III the Coarse
language of the street, had "given him
"away," denied the interview, denied the
sentiments, denied even the visit to Mr.. Til
den, and almost denied Mr.. Tilden's existence
This is very like the occurrence of last year.
when the late lamented Mr.. Tweed said that
Sheriff O'Brien sold him half of a certain worth
! less claim for a very large sum of money. MI
| Bixby was said to have been O'Bren's attOr-
ney and admitted that the statement was
correct; Mr.. O'Brien, being again taken
unawares, denied the whole transaction, which
Tweed then proved by papers. But this sort
of thing can't 90 on forever Such collisions
of veracity between eminent Democratic
statesmen are painful in the highest degree,
especially as neither of these distinguished
gentlemen has ever been known to vary
hairs breadth from the strict line of the truth
In the interest of the universal faith in the prob
! ity of our public men, we suggest that the
next time Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.. Bixby suspect
the approach of TRIBUNE reporter, they hud-
die up and compare memories.

DRIVE-WELIl ROBBERS.

Citizens OF Winona Organize to Fight the
Imposition-Judge Thomas Wilson of the
Opinion that the Patent Cannot Be Sus-
tanned.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.l
WINoNA, Minn., Nov. 18.-The court house
was densely crowded last Saturday evening by
an audience largely made up of the leading
citizens and property owners Of Winona to
listen to the discussion of the ways and means
for circumventing the driye-well robbers who
are just now plying their trade at the expense
of the people of this State. Hon. Thomas
Wilson was called to the chair, and Mr.. W. G..
Dye was appointed secretary. B1essrs. Robin
son and Fluke, the committee from Farming
ton. addressed the meeting. An association
was formed to be known as the Anti-Drive
Well association. The officers were authorized
to appoint committees to canvass for subscrip-
tions andsto report at an adj journed meeting
on Tuesday evening.
Judge Wilson was called upon to give his
opinion. While no man could certainly say
that the supreme court would not sustain the
patent, he was strongly impressed with the
belief that the validity of the patent would
finally be set aside if the matter was prosecuted
with sufficient vigor. The point chiefly relied
on by Judge Wilson was that of prior use and
knowledge of the drive well principle. which it
is believed can be sustained by overwhelming
testimony.

a DISMISSED sJ1roR's SUICIDE.

Dropping o,a His Knees at a Girl's Feet
and Shooting Himself In the Head.
Bridgeport Cor. New York SUM-
Frank Lane, young mechanic of this city,
shot himself in the head on Sunday evening,
after his dismissal by his sweetheart, Kittie
Martin. The latter is an attractive girl of
about twenty years of age, who works in
paper-bag factory. She and Lane became
acquainted about year ago, and May last
they became engaged. Lane, who had been
dissipated, suddenly abandoned his wild
ways, and was thereafter exemplary in his
habits. Hs was devoted guitor, calling
upon the girl every evening, and seeking her
society at every opportunity. They were to
have bsen married on the 9Th of the present
month, but Lane had been out Of employ
ment lately, and the wedding day was there
fore postponed to December 10th. On Sun
day afternoon he and Miss Martin went on
long walk together. In the evening Lane
called on her again at thu house of James
Dunning, where she boards. Mr.. Dunning,
who was in the parlor with them until with
in ten minutes of the tragedy, noticed that
they were teasing and banterlng each other
a great deal, but had no suspicion from their
manner that they were approaching quarrel.
After he retired the quarrel became more
spirited, and Lane slapped Miss Martin in
the face. She says that she does not believe
that he did it in bad temper, bat ct any rate
the slap angered her into telling him that
if he struck her again it would be after they
were married. Then she told him that she

emphasize her words she took off her en-
| gagement ring and threw it in his face. Her

frenzy. He is nervous and quick tempered,
| and formed and executed his desperate pur
pose before the girl realized what had hap
pened. When she tossed him to ring, he
stepped to the door and locked it. Then he
pulled out his pistol, and, dropping ON his
knees at the girls feet, pointed the weapon
to his head and fired. As he had often fooled
with the revolver before in Miss Martins
presence, she supposed he wes only trying
to frighten her, until she heard the report
and saw him fell backward on the floor. The
shock SO terrified her that some minutes
| elapsed before she could rise from the sofa
OR utter sound. Then her wild slrieks
quickly brought the family to her room and

alive, but unconscious. The ball had en-
tered the head just above the right temple,
and must gone through the brain nearly to
the opposite side of the skull, as the doctors
probed nearly five inches without finding it.
Lane was still alive this afternoon, bu. his
death is momentarily expected. He has not
rallied or spoken since he received the
wound. Miss Murtin was at Lanes bedside
this morning, nearly crazy with grief. She
was not in earnest when she threw back the
ring, and did not suppose that Frank took
his dismissal seriously, or really intended to
shoot himself. She even believes that be
pulled the trigger accidentally.

Washington Special to Cincinnati Enquirer
The New York banks, having virtually ad-

Clearing house association, by submitting
terms on which they will assist Sherman to
resume, now have another proposition brew
ing. 1t appears that the issue of notes for
gold deposited with the treasury is optional,
and can be stopped at any time. AS the
plan now is to cease the issue of gold certif-
Gates after January LIST next, the bankers
fear that those who have no faith in the sue
cess of resumption will make special efforts
to get gold notes in their possession prior to
January LIST, SO that they can keep the certif-
Gates in safe deposit companies when the
banks cease to hold special gold deposits.
In view of any such movement it is urged
upon Secretary Sherman to stop the issue of
gold notes forthwith.
