Serious Charge Against senator PcndIc-
annA.

Mr.. Pcndle'ons agents put out not less than
$4,000 at the Highland house convention TO So
cure the nomination OF tic Pcndleton slate. Mr..
fendletou knows that the Enquirer can name the
men who handled the money. These hnancots
are meu who could not deny their performance II
pressed to tell the truth-mCn who would not per
uro themselves if required 10 make statements
under oath. Mr. pcndcion himself used money
whore lie thought u would do the most good the
dny before the conventloi - Cincinnati Enqdircr
Mr.. McLcan's words aro not ambiguous.
He specifically charges Senator Pondleton
with the distribution Of $4,000 corruption
money TO carry convention, and volunteers
to produce proof In support OF tho indictment.
There is an open challenge in Mr.. McT.caus
accusation, and Senator Pcndlcton cannot
pass it by in silence. The editor OF the
Enquirer is responsible person. and his
journal is solvent. II the charge quoted
above is untrue Senator Pcndeton should not
hesitate to bring suit for libel rs the best way
of ofIacing the stain on his character. IL he
can establish his innocence Of the charge Of
corrupting his fellow democrats with money,
any jury would award him heavy damages
and n certificate of vindication.
Senator Pondloton's failure to publicly de-
fend himself against attacks like the above
is a confession of one OF two things, fear or
guilt. An innocent man does not rest qui.
city while his character is being assailed In
that fashion, unless he Is moral coward
who has been cowed into q state Of pitiablc
subjection, and innocent men do not find
themselves in that condition very often.
In this case tho accused has been passing
before tho country as reformer--a
politician in whom thero is no guile,
model of purity and uprightncsS. lie has
conspicuously attitudinizcd as the personif-
cation of civil service reform, and called upon
the world to look at him. To hear such
man accused of spending $4,000 TO influence
the verdict of n convention shakes our conf
dencc in human nature. To see him sit dumb
while his family enemies are tearing his rcpu.
tation for political chastity into shreds gives
us a twinge For heavens sake, dear sena-
tor, do not let the newly arisen bully pull you
all around the ring and over the ropes by the
nose any longer. Put up your hands and
make show of fight anyway or you will
speedily become an object of contempt and
I pity.

LACK OF HUMANITY.
Indifference OF tho Florida Authorities to
the Destitute ut Pensacola.

Indifference OF tho Florida Authorities TO
the Destitute mt Pensacola.
Commodore English, acting'secretary of the
navy, Tuesday night received the following tel
egram from Lieut.. Comdr. Welch at Pensacola:
NAVAL forces convalescont. Will issue ratons
tomorrow to tho destitute of the reserve.
Gov. Bloxham has never noticed my telegram
to him, sent as authorized by the depart
ment."
Great indignation is felt ut the navy de-
partment at the course pursued by the state
authorities of Florida in not paying any
destitute on the reservation at Pensacola, even
when appealed to by the naval authorities
Commodore English, acting secretary of the
navy, says in regard to the matter that tho
absolute indifference of the state authorities
shows almost lack of humanity, when il is
considered that the residents of the reserve
are in no way connected with the navy, but
should be the especial care of the state, which,
il unwilling or unable to prevent their starv.
ing, could at least help them by an appeal for
public assistance, He says further that the
publications intimating lack of hui
manity on the part Of the navy department
are entirely uncalled for. The depart
ment called attention of the state officials to
the condition of affairs, and when no action
was taken by them, authorized the distribu-
tion of rations from the government supplies.
1t is the impression that the Indifference
shown arises from pique because Of the clos
ing of the Pensacola navy yard.

pity.

The attorney general has undertaken n
commendable work in the matter of regu-
latlng the appointment of these function
aries in the district.
One of the evils incident to our recent ter
ritorial form of government was the facility
for obtaining these minor offices, and their
consequent overcrowding with inferior men,
destitute, in many instances, of the requisite
qualifications for the position. II it be true
that some of these officials have been in the
habit of carrying in their pockets stamped
waters which they affixed to legal papers, in
stead of imprinting their official seal and that
some require no positive Identification of
parties appearing before them, and keep no
record of their proceedings, it would seem as
though the matter had been taken hold of
none too quickly.
The proper certihcation of deeds and other
legal papers and administration of oaths is
of tho highest Importance to the protec-
tion of property owners and for the pre-
vention of fraud. The certificate of q
notary CarrlcS greab WelBhJ pelore our
courts and in foreign countries, and'it is
of the highest Importance that the man
invested with such honor and responsibility
should be we'll informed and equipped in his
business. Frequently it lies in his power to
point out and correct mistakes in hastily
drawn instruments and to ascertain the
mental condition of affiauts, and, in q word,
to do much to facilitate the proper execution
of the law In Europe tho province of the
notary is more extended and his occupation
larger than in this country. He is called
upon as u conservator Of the peace, as in
Mozart's Figaro" and his presence is neces-
sary for a proper solcmnizatiou of the mar
riage ceremony. 1t is no dctraction from the
merits of the many faithful, competent nota-
ries in this city to call attention to these
defects. and to say that tho department of
justice deserves the thanks of this community
for endeavoring to lessen the number of ap-
! pointments as old commissions expire. If
Baltimore, with her 100000 population, re-
quires no more than n score Of these officers,
surely the District of Columbia, with half
that number, does not need three hundred.

Where the bachelors are rude,

We caroled in tho hall,
We Gland along the beaohlet,

When my head was rather sofs
pop'd the big enigma
