Last week tho Potter COMMITTEE

Last week the Potter Committee
got in some solid work again, and be-
sides uneurthing little more of John
Sherman's dirty work, have had a
witness who saw the names forged
upon the louisiana Electoral Certi.
ficates. This witness kept out OF the
way last spring when he was wanted,
but at last turned up. He was an
employee of Kellogg about the State
House, and now charges the forgery to
a dead man, d. p. Blanchard, a clerk
in the executive Office. There has
been, and still is, q strong suspicion
that this witness, Kelley himself, per-
formed the job, though for all practi-
cal purpose of the inquiry it is i'm
material which one of the gang held
the pen. The deed is proven and con-
fessed. And not only is the man for
whom the crime was committed now
occupying the highest office in the Re
public, but the man whom all the
world hold responsible whom no fair
mind can acquit of the crime though
his own hands did not execute it--that
man is in the Senate of the United
States. Blanchard is dead, Kelley is
a mere hanger on, and conquest Clark,
was Kelogg's most trusted henchman
and knows more about all these crimes
than he can be got to tell, is one of
John Sherman's confidential clerks.
And now the committee proposes to
overhaul the cipher dispatches. Ever
since the cooked up and worthless
Tribune expose of last fall the Radi-
calls have attempted to offset the proof
OF actual fraud on their part, with the
story of what some of the Democrats
tried to do. Six weeks ago they were
notified that the Democrats were ready
to proceed with a thorough investiga-
ton of the whole cipher matter, but
after consulting with John Sherman
and Hayes, they decided that they
would not try any such hazardous
business. The resolution which Hale
was said to be anxious to offer on the
first day of the session, never saw the
light, and now that the Democrats
propose to do the thing anyhow, every
Republican member of the committee
votes against it. Doesn't it look
as though they were afraid of some
thing?

The Clean Newspaper.

There is a growing feeling in every
healthy community against the journ-
ais which make it their special object
to minister to perverted taste by seek
ing out and serving up in seductive
form disgusting scandles and licen-
tious revelations. There is good rea-
son to believe that the clean newspa-
per is mole highly priced today than
it was four or five years ago. 1t is al
so safe to predict that as people in all
ranks of life, who protect their own
at least from contamination, become
more conscious of the pernicious in
fuence of a certain class of journals
they permit to be read in the family
circle are of the class that never for
get the proprieties of life. Already
men and women Of refinement and
healthy morals have had their atten-
ton called to the pernicious influence
of bad literature and have made com
mendable efforts to counterfeit the
same by causing sound literature to
be published and sold at popular pri-
ces. These efforts are working a 81
lent but sure revolution. The best
authors are more generally read to-
day than at any previous time. The
sickly, sentimental story paper and
wild ranger and pirate story book are
slowly Welding the field to worthier
claimants. To the praise of the de
cent newspaper, it may be said that
where it ha a place in the family and
has been read for years by young and
old, it has developed such a discrim-
mating taste, that the literature of the
slums has no admirers. Fortunately,
the numbers of such families is in
creasing in the land, and as they in
crease, the journal that deyotes itself
to sickening revelations of immortality
will be compelled to find it's support
ers solely among those classes that
practice vice or crime or are ambitious
to learn to follow such ways.-Boston
