SOME Republican papers in Ohio are
expressing themselves freely as to their
estimate of Senator John Sherman. For
example:
eve do not believe John Sherman to
be an honest man. We have, what to us
is abundant proof, that he is not; yet we
may be mistaken. - LSandusky Reg ster
(Rep)
''The outlook for Senator Sherman is
squally, it is true, as reported, that w.
P. Brown, foreman of the cabinet work
shop of the Treasury Department, in his
testimony yesterday, gave dates, kinds
of work done on Senator Sherman's new
house and stable, and showed that it
had been charged to different bureaus of
the Department. The people will settle
with John Sherman and retire him to
private life unless he can show clear
balance. - GAINESVILLE Courier (Rep.)

THE New York Tribune continues to
tomahawk President Arthur and the
Stalwarts, as do the Cincinnati Com
mercial, Chicago Tribune, Repository,
etc. GOrham's Republican at Washing
ton City, whacks back fiercely as do
some other papers less furiOusly. The
controversy tends to show that while
Garfield may have been great scholar
and statesman for that matter he was
but a poor judge of men, and that dur
ing the Administration he was simply
an instrument in the hands of such de-
signing politicians as Blaine, and snivel-
ing and lying hypOcrites as Whitelaw
Reid Both sides are eager for all the
capital they get out of this thing. Reid
and his set are anxious to keep the
memory of Garfield alive, because it is
there only political stock in trade, while
the Stalwarts without directly abusing
Garfield, seek Indirectly to smirch him
and weaken the influence he has left be
E hind him, by exposing the petty trick
and duplicity of his confidential adviser
and the members of his chum Cabinet

THE TREASURY INVESTIGATION

At Washington, last week, had John
Sherman before it as witness on the
disbursement Of the Treasury cOntiE-
gent fund. 1t is said he admitted it
might be possible work was done on his
residence there by Treasury employees;
but if so it was without his knowledge
0. L. Pitney. late custodian of the
Treasury, was Mr.. Sherman's agent in
the transaction of much private busi-
ness, and it was possible that he Pit-
ney) had caused to be done for the then
Secretary work that should not have
been done. Mr.. Sherman declared, how
ever, that he had himself paid for every
dollars worth of work done upon mis-
residence. 1t looks suspicious to say
the least.

The Boston Gazette says: "The Com
mittee of Ways and Means is the great
business committee which passes upon
the chief measures affecting the mate
rial prosperity of the country. Mr..
Kelley is narrow fanatic in his views
with regard to them. 1t is hardly too
much to say of him that he is not of
sound mind on the subject of the cur
rency and revenue. He advocated the
Greenback heresy in its worst form, and
he holds to his views upon it now as
strong as ever. He refused to vote for
General Garfield as Speaker of the
House because of the hard money
views entertained by him, giving his
vote instead for Hendrick B. Wright, a
Democratic Greenbaeker, who glOried
in the reputation of demagogue."
And Keifer falls down before the
tariff rings and appoints this fanatic
because he is their representative. This
is very strong testimony of the dishOn
esty Of the tariff combination, and may
assist in opening the eyes of the peO
| ple.=TCin. Commercial.

COLONEL REED, Guiteau's lawyer, af-
Ter an interview with the culprit, the
other day, is convinced that the muir
derer of Garfield is insane. Of the ma
ture of the Interview, Reed says: Il
pushed him with questions almost to
the verge of cruelty. tried to depict
the enOrmity Of his crime, and endeav-
Ored to reach his conscience and to dis
cover if he ever dreamed of the act or of
its attendant consequences, but L could
not elicit a single expression that even
the most hardened criminal, if sane,
might be expected to give utterance
to-" OF course it is Mr.. Reeds business,
as associate counsel for the defense, to
be convinced of the insanity of Guiteau.

THE REPOSITORY AND ALLIANCE RE
VIEW.

WE will not question the right of the
Alliance Review to have personal
grudge against Congressman Mckinney,
nor even criticise, at this time, its en-
deaYOr to make that party objection TO
him in his public capacity, but the Re
view must not attempt to bespatter the
Repository with the mud of the revenge
it seeks to wreak upon Mckinley. This
is unwarranted, unneighbOrly, and
might, ultimately, compel review OF
the reviewer.-[ Repository.
The insinuatiOn that the Reviews Op-
position to McKinley's aspirations for "A
fourth term, are false and unwarTanted
hy the facts, as the Repository well
knows. 1t is we'll enough for Mr.. Nc
Klnley's organ 10 attempt to cOunteract
the influence of the Review, by lmpugn-
ing its motives, but we warn our neigh
bor that in doing so, it plays a losing
game. The fact that the Review sup
ported Mr.. Mckinley, after it had cause
for personal grievance, gives the lie TO
y at insinuatiOn. But If our neighb I
desires more convincing proof, we nave
a little documentary evidence that We
will furnish, if this charge is reiterated.
If the Repository thinks it has any good
and sufficient reason why Major Nc
Kinley should be Continued i'll COngres
in viola ion OF theTUcOgnlZeu JWO-IeTL
rule of The district, we will be happy t.
meet it in the field of honorable argu
ment, on condition that the Repository
give our articles place in its columns.
As to the threat implied in the last
sentence of the above item, we would
say that we do not fear to compare re-
cords with the Repository, in party fealty
or anything else it my choose. We have
before this, had occasion to cross swords
with our peacock" cOtempOrary, and dc
not remember that we ever had reason
to regret our temerity,-[Alliance Re

A PROTECTION" CASE.

Miners of iron ore in New Jersey are
getting up petitions to send 70 Congress
asking that higher tariff duty be put
on iron ore imported into this country.
They saate that within the past ten
months, ended October 31st 1881, 724,2lO
tons of iron ore, the product OF the
pauper labor of Europe, were shipped to
the United States from foreign ports, to
the great detriment of American min
ing interests. They therefore pray Con-
gress that such duty on imported iron
ore be imposed az will protect the iron
ore interest and the labor employed
thereat. A copy of this circular being
sent to the Hon. Abram S. Hewitt, who
is not only extensively engaged In the
manufacture of iron, but whose firm Is
the largest miner of iron ore in New
JERSEY, declined to have anything to do
with the petition, on the ground that 1t
ls based ION total miscOnceptiOn of
the facts of the case" He tells the petit
tiOners that instead of asking for a
higher duty on iron ore, which is now
twenty per cent, they should petition
that iron ore ma be put on the free list,
for the reason that the American ores
neutrality-suspicious. cannot be worked
up into steel without an equal admiX-
ture of foreign ores, which are practi-
cally free from PHOSPHORUS. It is tC
their interest, he says, to advocate the
| free importation uf foreign ores, because
it enables iron masters to mix then
with American ores. The more fOreigI
ores we can get the more American ore
will be used, the better price it viii
fetch, with ability to pay higher wage,
to miners. This is sound reasoning
but the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal contends that the foreign ores dt
not come practically into competition
with the New Jersey ores inasmuch a
they cost at the present time at the por
of New York from six to ten dollars pc
ton, duty paid, while the blast furnace
furnish ore for several dollars per ton
less.
By increasing the duty on imported
iron ore, the price of steel would ris
and enable foreign steel to be brOugh
in. This protection" would not protect

IN Philadelphia the better Repub
licans are disposed to cut loose from
the vagabonds and villains that have
been running there the Cameron ma
chine. Two successful Republican can
didates for .cOuncilmanic nominations,
on Wednesday, last week, declined the
honOrs thrust upon them for the
rather remarkable reason that they
were unwilling to have their names
printed on the same ticket with the
other candidates nominated by the con-
YentiOns in their respective wards.
They were too utterly utter bad.

MURAT HALsTEAD ON THE Stall
WARTS.

Your true Stalwart is apt to be a great
blackgaard. He is also very fond OF
calling people towards when they are
not personally present. 1t was COnk-
Iing's point that Garfield had broken his
word and was timid, just as it was
Chandler's Outcry that Hayes was cow
ardly, and all that. Perhaps in the
worst days of the slave power it had
brag0art Representatives as coarse, often
siye and vicious, as full of vulgar pOmp
and, vile pretense, as, the sc7called Stall
wart gang, but there has been no other
crowd, in5ithiss,ee9ntry who so richly
merited public contempt. The StalWaTts
have. ia morals and manners, in attain
menfs and udaeity, a close resemblance
to the ringsters who surrounded Louis
Napoleon when he became Emperor, and
wasted the resources of France until
they tumbled, through their system of
thieyery and imbecility, into the war
that ended their rotten but most greedy
Imperialism.-Cin Commercial.

The contest in this Congressional dis
trict is getting lively between Mckinley
and Laubie. How it will terminate we
cannot even guess. 1t is proper to say,
however, that so far Major Mckinley has
been lucky, to say the least, and has had
the district in his pocket. The following
serious charge from the Columbus cor
respondent of the Pittsburgh CONNER
cial-Gazette is worthy of note:
Another district which is to be the
scene Of a brisk fight, and in which the
discussion is already under way, is the
Seventeenth, now represented by Major
Mckinley, Republican. Mckinley had
hard time in obtaining the nOmina
tion two years ago, and it is now claimed
by those who are opposed to him that he
could not have then got through had he
not promised Judge Peter A. Laubie, of
COlumbiana county, to stand aside for
him in 1882. Laubie claims this, and all
his friends claim it. If Mckinley adj
mits the promise he will be compelled to
keep it. If he denies it, he will be
charged with having violated solemn
and vital agreement. The impending Q
contest in this district will therefore be
lively One."
Prior to this Congressman Mckinley
had the cordial support and influence of
the administration at Washington. In
this contest with Laubie it will be
otherwise, for Mckinley is a "half
breed" and his organ, the Repository
delights to dab Arthur and his admins.

THE Chicago Tribune says: "It is an
nOunced that the sO-called Star Route
cases. as the new Postmaster General
happily describes them, are to be pros
ecuted with vigor. In this connection
it may be interesting to notice that the
so called Pos tmaster General has taken
up his residence with EnOch TOtten,
senior counsel for the 'sO-called' de-
fense. The evidence in these 'sO-called'
cases is still in the possession of the

HARD CAsE.-Some time ago family
named Mckay came to Port Townsend
and remained few months. They were
conspicuous more for drunkenness and
brawling than anything else. Subse-
quently they went to Port Discovery
where one of their children was drown
ed. a week or two ago the husband
and father returned to this place with
the evident intention of establishing
here. Their occupation while in Pierce
county, was reputed to be the bawdy
house business and selling whiskey to
Indians, The following from the Seattle
Chronicle, of recent date, gives informa-
tion that will lead our citizens to feel
that we can better dispense with the
society of these folks: "R G.. Mckay and
family have been occupying u house on
Fourth street, near Washington. with
out the consent or permission of the
owner of the premises By drunken
and disordeIly conduct they have made
'lIS "uiionpilcIc III tlidJ lOCdiltI very un-

Justice Coombs with vagrancy. Chief
Woolery made the arrest, which was
most stubbornly resisted, but without
avail. The prisoner was brought into
court ordered to pay$45, vacate the
premifes and abate the nuisance. In
default of payment he was remanded to
Jail until this morning, when he was
placed under bonds for one year for
good behavior, and given until 6 o'clock
tomorrow morning to fill bond. He
wos thed released upon his own recog-
nizance, and it is to be hoped that the
gilded rays of the morning sun, on the
morrow, will cover many mics of space
between him and Seattle, The same
family cost Pierce county $4,000 for their
misdemeanors, and should they shake
the dust of Seattle from off their feet to-
night it will be fortunate circumstance
