AN OPEN INvEsTIeATIoN-That
the facts be made public. The New
York Herald demands an open inves-
tigation of the matters laid to the
charge of Mr.. Sherman. It says:
"The Congressional committee hav-
ing charge Of the investigation into
the management Of the Treasury De-
partment steadily reslsts all attempts
to take the public into its confidence
and to print the testimony In the
charges before it. This is done, we
are told, as a matter of kindness to
the ex Secretary Of the Treasury, Mr..
Sherman, who is now Senator. II
that is the reason, the committee is
making very great mistake. 1t Is
placing MIR. Sherman In false posi-
tion before the country, and no mat
ter what report 1t may make it will be
robbed Of its force and value by the
secrecy in which the proceedings have
been enveloped. The charges SO pub
licly made should be as publicly re-
futed. The era of star chamber in
vestigations into alleged abuses in the
general government passed away long
ago, and IL is too late to attempt to
return to the old system. Let the
doors be opened and the lights turned
on"
Mr.. Sherman is now a Senator and
may, like Conkling, demand that the
courtesy of the Senate be extended to
him. But the Herald is right in de-
nsnding an open investigation never
theless.

BRIEF AND CORRECTLY STATED
The Philadelphia Press, OF yesterday,
makes the following brief and correct
view Of the condition into which the
country was drawn by the cunning
pension lobbyists when the back nav
arrearage bill was blindly passed by
Congress. The bill itself was a delu
sion and snare into which some of
the best inteniIoaed men of both par
ties were drawn, and this shou d make
every man who voted for it anxious to
vote for its repeal. There is no inius.
lice in its repeal, for there was no
jastlctice in its passage. The Press
says
Next to very strong desire that
Congress shall show the country a way
out of the wasteful pensions lob. is
another, scarcely less strong, that
Congress shall turn a deaf ear To the
siren songs OF the bounty equllizer..
NO doubt there are members who
would be willing to vote for the bill in
utter disregard Of what it NAV take
out OF the Treasury, just to show their
love for the dear soldier others Who
would favor reasonable and definite
amount. But the amount cannot he
ascertained, and that ought to stay
tue vote OF every member who is un-
willing to open the Treasury TO a
second pensions raid. IL is not pre.
tended that the soldiers received an
equal measure Of their country's graf
tude as expressed in dollars and cents.
They were not promised such re
ward. They enlisted with their ewes
open' To equalize their bountie,
would be to vote them a gratuity afte,
thousands OF them have gone TO their
graves. There would have b aen more
to justify the measure in the earl,

INTOXICATED MINORS. Is fre

INTOXICATED MINORS. Is fire.
quently remarked that there is more
hquer drank by minors ON holidays
than formerly. We do not think this
is quite as accurate as it should be to
be held to be strictly true. There is,
however, entirely too much indulgence
in drink by minors. Yesterday there
seemed to be more drunken youths on
the streets than men. The behavior
Of some who were not drunk was
worse than those who were. The vile
profanity which emanated from
crowds Of young men in passing up
and down the streets could not help
producing a feeling of disgust and
adherence in every good citizen.
This conduct Is very reprehensible
and measures should be taken to put
stop to it. 1t is to say the least of
it. such q breach of good manners
that no man who values his character
will dare to say word In defence of
it; and the police should be ordered
to arrest every man or boy that is
heard uttering profane language in
the public streets. Drunken persons
are amenable to arrest and are pretty
sure to be locked up if they are heard
to use profane language, and those
who are not intoxicted and are heard
using loud or profane words in the
streets should not be exempt from
arrest and fine. Those who sell
liquor to minors should DC prosecuted
to the full extent OF tue law. But
the police should not overlook their
duty as to them. They should be
arrested and locked up when found
drunk in the streets. Something
should be done to put stop to il.
Young men are not fond of liquor
and drink merely for the STUN Of the
thing" and should be taught that
there is no fun in it-that it is a stir-
ma upon the community of which the
police are in charge, and no one is at
liberty 10 give their place of residence
bad name by their immoral con
duct, either through unmanly and
ignorant profanity, or the excessive
use of alcoholic drinks.

A Brave Drummer Boy.

In the war with France, previous to
the Revolution, an English drummer
boy, not more than fifteen years of age,
having wandered from his camp too
near the enemy's lines. was seized and
brought before the French commander,
On being asked who he-was by the gen.
eral. he answered:
"A drummer in the English service"
This not gaining credit, drum was
sent for, and he was desired to beat 4
couple of marches, which he accordingly
did. The Frenchman's suspicious being
however. not quite removed. he desired
the drummer to beat retreat. "A re
treat, sir" said. the youthful Briton; \
don't know what that is"
This answer so pleased the French Of
ficer that he dismissed the drummer, and
wrote to his general commencing his

The Ticket Nominated at LOveland
Endorsed.

COLUMBUS, O., August 4-The State
Prohibition Convention endorsed the
State ticket recently nominated by the
Temperance Convention at Loveland,
except that Henry Camp, of Coshocton,
was nominated for Attorney General to
fill the vacancy on that ticket. The
platform adopted declares for the abso-
Lutte prohibition of the liquor traffic; of
the abolition of executive and legisla-'
tive patronage and the election. of all
civil officers, as far as practicable, by a
direct vote of the people; favors COM
pulsory education; the prohibition of
gambling in gold, stocks or produce;
against grants of public lands to corpo-
rations. 1t also declares in favor of
equal rights for all people, including the
right of suffrage irrespective of race,
sex or color; the protection by law of
laborers against the expressions Of un-
just capital, and lien OH property and
earnings of corporations for wages the
reduction of public salaries and taxes,
various other reforms of the general
government, and urges the Prohibition
lists to retain their party organization.
Th eplatform expresses sympathy with
President Garfield, declaring that the
recent attempt on his life was startling
illustration of the danger arising from
the debasing influence of executive pa
tronage and the liquor crime. The plat
form closes by recognizing the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union as great
moral power, and its cooperation in the
present movement is asked.

bargain. If he is farmer who has sold
stock to be taken at future date at q
fixed price. he should let it go, even if
he finds he could have done much bet

cry before selling. If he be drover who
finds the market dropping on the engaged
stock, he should take it just. as readily
as though he were making handsome
thing out of it. Yet We hear of occa-
sional trouble on such points as these,
even among men who want to do what

pretext for backing out Of such bargains

may be avoided, however, by avoiding

as to how William Myers had prepared
himself to assassinate Hayes in March,

Playing the strangest tricks with your feet,
Till you stumble and stagger again
But little care
While can see
A light in the window
At home for me.
1 hasten faster, with heart grown light,

Defiance to you, King Storm, tonight,
You can't keep me out in the gloom
For the beacon is bright
And l can see
A face in the window
At home for me.
Cheerily blinking the street lamps shine,
Waiting to see the doors flung wide,
And in the radiance of home divine,
Some ones waiting for me inside
Somebody's waiting,
And l can see
Red lips holding
A kiss for me!
