An Exploded Fraud.

Young. MIR. Belmont whose money
rather than his brains is responsible for
his present position as member of Con-
grcss, has been engaged in the edifying
spectacle the past week, OF endeavOring
to so twist the language used by Secre-
tary Blaine in his dispatches that it might
be made available as party capital. So
persistent was the son Of his father in
wasting the time of the committee by
continuous circuitous travelling in his
alleged examination of the ex-premier,
that the latter felt called upon to set
down upon the young fellow in manner
that was been anything but pleasant.
There seems but little reason for con-
tinuing the Shipherd investigation. The
testimony of ex-Secretary Blaine, if that
were necessary. knocks the last atom Of
air out Of the oily wind bag and leaves
him exposed before the world as tho
most monumental liar of the century.
Thus far every charge has been refuted
and sunk under a weight of testimony,
sufficient to convince even the most sus-
picious, that the whole affair was manu-
featured out of whole cloth. fy
There remains nothing further for the
committee but to close the farce as
soon as possible and save expense to the
taxpayers as well as waste of valuable
time. The tattered cloak of insignifi-
canoe will protect Shpherd from suffer
ing the penalty of his perjury therefore
the sooner his vanity is given a set back
by relegation of his beefy proportions
to the shades of private life the better
will the country be pleased.
