In New York, Il DR.. Tanner, otherwise
known as the Minnesota fasting man, has un-
lertaken the little feat Of fasting forty days
and forty nights. During the trial he is to
be closely watched by a delegation of medical
students, told off into regular rellets. If the
experiment proves that a healthy man can
actually go without food for that length of
time, the next query will be, how is this
most desirable art to be acquired? We would
all want to learn it. Professors of fasting
would speedily have tlleir institutions Glled
with most diligent students. How conven-
! lent it would be, during a period Of high
| prices, for the whole community to enter
upon a folty-days' fast and literally starve
the merchants out of the " corner in which
they had entrenched themselves. And then
what a blessing would such an art prove to
travellers. especially in Montana. Consider

Tire Truth about SarauE ana Hancock

GALESA. H., June 24.-General Grant
stated to-day to All intimate friend of his re-
siding here that he fully approved of the
nomination Of Hancock by the democratic
party. lie said IT was an inspiration that will
sweep the country, and that 10 candidate the
democracy could have chosen would have
proved so acceptable to the masses of the PEG
pie. General Grant added that many thou
sands of republicans would not vote for Gar
field, and he was one Of them. He said The
fact that he was now out OF power forever
released linn from any obligation 10
the republican party, aud he would himself
vote for Hancock. This news Was spread
around Ills city, and the course adopted by
General Grant is approved Of by MANY prom

SUPPRESSION DOES NOT AL
WAYS SUPPRESS.

Perhaps the highest compliment yet
paid to the remarkable letter which
Gen. Hancock wrote to Gen. Sherman
in December, 1875, after the conspi-
racy to steal the Presidency had well
advanced, comes from sources that
least intended it, and have been most
oensorious in criticising his capacity
as q civilian. When the Tribune SUD-
posed political capital might be made
Of this letter, in the belief that it con-
tanned revolutionary sentiments, the
demand was loud and constant for its
publication, with an offer of unlimited
space for that 5bject.
The Tribune was the special organ
OF this call for publicity, and it was not
sorupulous in suggesting that dread O
criticism alone prevented compliance
with its repeated requests. When
Gen. Sherman's consent was obtained
the letter was printed, and has now
been before the public for ten day.

The German alphabet undoubtedly
has much to do with the opposition 10
the introduction of the study of Ger
man in our public schools, and many
educational leaders are arguing for the
abolition in this country of the old
German letter and the substitution of
Roman letters. Mr.. II. Wonder Heide
at the recent meeting of German Amer
ican teachers at Newark, pointed out
what would be the advantages of this
change in the simplification of the lam
guage and the saving of time, showing
that it was unwise to compel children
to learn the two alphabets, while they
could study the German language as
well with the Roman letters. Teachers
in German-American schools should
make the beginning by teaching in tie
first years the Roman alphabet only.
This change in the alphabet has al
ready many friends in Germany, who
hope to live to see the day when one
alphabet will be in use all over the
world. The association adopted reso-
lutions acknowledging the necessity of
the change, and asking the co-opera-
tion of the German Journalistic Con
vention and that of the convention of

enough TO insinuate charges of disloy-
atty and to reproach Gen. Hancock
with improper utterances, without a
particle Of proof to sustain either ac-
cusation: but when the paper upon
which both were alleged to be found
ed is brought to light, it is not consci-
entious enough either to retrAet its
charges or to publish the truth.
The Times did not go quite so far in
demanding the production of this let
ter, and in offering it's columns for its
publication. But partisanship over
came fairness, and this historical
document has never yet found place
in that paper, which is usually candid
and manly. The Times has described
Gen. Hancock rs q ''second-rate' SOL
dier and no statesman" but the order
might be reversed in describing Gen.
Garfield as q second-rate statesman
and no soldier.
The Times and the Tribune may be
deluded enough to think that by sup
pressing this letter the prospects Of
Gen. Hancock may in some way be
injured. No better tribute could be
offered to its merits. II the letter
was not strong, patriotic, statesman
like and unanswerable, it would long
ago have been dissectsd with un-
sparing comment. Fear that their
own charges would be answered by
the plainest of evidence, will be re-
garded as the true reason why Gen.
Hancock has been denied hearing.
This very suppression ON the part of
the Times and the Tribune has added
to the interest to see Hancock's letter;
and it has been read by millions all
over the republic, with a conviction
that no statesman of any party in the
crisis of 1876 saw the path of duty
more clearly than he did, or more
calmly considered it in every constitu-
tional aspect. In this case, at least,
the pen was mightier than the
sword for, renowned as is his dis
tinction as a soldier, his letter to Gen.
Sherman will stand out in the debates
of 1875 as among the most extraordi-
nary productions of that great contro-
versy and as emitting its author to
take the first rank among those who
discussed the Presidential question
in all its length and breadth.-N. Y.

-Garfeids testimony Pe75tired.
The facts In regard to Mr.. Garfield, as
found by the committee, are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares
of Credit Mobilier stock. but did not pay
for the same. Mr.. Ames received the
eighty per cent. dividend in bonds and
seld them for ninety y-seven per cent, and
also received the sixty per cent. cash divi-
dend, which together with the price Of
the stock and interest, left balance Of
$500. This sum was paid over to Mr.. Gar

From the New York Times. Feb. 10, 1873.
Messrs. Kelley and Garfield present a
most distressing figure. Their partici-
patton In the Credit Mobilier affair Is com.
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions of testimony.
From The NetD York Times. Feb. 20, 1873.
The character of the Credit Mobilier was
no secret. The source OF It's profits was very
well known at the time Congressman
bought 1t. Though Oakes Ames may have
succeeded in concealing his own motive,
which was to bribe congressman, their
acceptance OF the stock was not on that
account innocent. The dishonor of the
act, as participation In an obvious fraud
still remains.
Some OF them have INDUCED in testi-
mony With reference to the matter which
has been contradicted. The committee
dtstinctiv rejects the testimony Of several Of
the members. This can only be done on The
ground that Il is untrue. But untrue testi-
nlony 0tuen under oath Is morally, u not
legally, perjury.
1t is the clear duty of Congress TO visit
with punishment all who took Credit
Mobilier stock from Oakes Ames.

1T Is REALLY AMUSING to note the al
most frantic eagerness of Republican
organs In declaring that the grave
charges against their Presidential
candidates are merely instances Of
Democratic mud-slinging," and
therefore Of no account. 1t seems to
be their only means Of evading the
shower of strong Republican testimony
that convicted their candidates of off
clal dishonesty, and placed them on
record as public men who had violated
their official trusts, and were unworthy
Of the confidence of honest people.
1t was not democratic mud sling
ing" that accused James A. Garfield
Of dishonesty and even perjury in the
Credit Mobilier scandal, but the delib-
crate report of Congress ional Com
mittee, composed almost entirely Of
his Republican friends. 1t was not
Democratic mud-slinging" that &C
cused James A. Garfield of accepting a
Zee from a corporation seeking aid
from the Congress in which he occu-
pied leading and important position
for the exposure was made in the
Courts of Justice, by sworn testimony,
that extorted the plain facts from un-
willing witnesses, and laid bare the
full details Of the disgraceful transac-
ton.
1t was not Democratic mud-sling-
ing" that accused Chester A. Arthur
OF dishonesty and official incom potency
while holding the position of Collector
Of the Port Of New York, but no less
distinguished personages than r. B.
Hayes, President Of the United States
and John Sherman, Secretary of the
Treasury, preferred these charges, and
expressed their belief in them by re-
moving Arthur from his official posi-
ton. Surely Democratic mud-sling-
ing" could not produce such an effect
as this.
Verify the Republicans are in pitt
able plight over their candidates, for
by the best and strongest kind of Re
publican testimony Garfield and Ar
= thur have been convicted at the bar of
