Report Of tie investigating COmmittee-UnEorthy
Officials.
TETom aae Rillcaltkee Sentinel
The committee (appointed by Robert Chivas
Post, of Milwaukee, first called On General
Sharpe, the Governor of the Home, and in
formed him that il proposed to make an inFes
tigation. Afterward il proceeded without as
sistance or the active supervision Of the officers
Of the Home TO make the investigation. The
report IN its general tone and language is ex-
trenely favorable 70 the management of the
Home, and concludes with expressing the opin-
ion that the charges against it have been
greatly exaggerated The committee finds that
the table is fairly good, and that most Of the
complaints have grown ont of the weakness OF
the veterans for strong drink. They get in
toxicated aud are put IN the guard-house, fined
or sentenced TO labor for a certain number of
days, and they resent this treatment. The
importance OF strict discipline in such an es-
tablishment is emphasized, and will not be dis
putcd. The report. however, notwithstanding
its genial tone and apparently commenda-
tory character. confirms the most serious
charges that have been brought against the
Home. There has been little complaint about
the table Most Of the inmates have said they
were well enough satisfied with it, 1t has
been acknowledged that the rooms and tho
building generally are neatly kept The seri-
Gus complaints have been Of coarse and brutal
conduct the part Of subordiHates who in
consequence Of the unfortunate condition of
General Sharpe's health. which prevents his
exercising the personal supervision which he
would otherwise give tie establishment, have
almost exclusive control over the inmates, and
who make charges against the old soldiers upon
which they arc condemned TO the guard house
TO hard labor, or 10 be fined, without an opor-
tuaity of presenting their own side of the case
The report comedies that the character of some
Of the subordinate officials is not what it should
be; they are not free from the vices for which
the soldiers are thrust into the guard house
and otherwise punished. and it is admitted
that the system by which the inmates are ar
rested, deprived of their money, and sentenced
to hard labor without hearing or any sort o.

Stowe says in your issue of September g. 1888.
The G.. a. r. is not a political organization,
and, therefore, we should stand by those who
stand by us. / care not whether he is Repub-
lican, Democrat or Greenbacker, if only he is a
friend of the soldiers, will vote for such q
man, but none other will ever get my vote,
even for the lowest office in the gift of the peo-
pie. There are enough of the old boys left yet
in the land to make their power felt, and they
should all look to their own interests and stand
by their friends. They should never vote for
a man who is afraid to come out flat-footed in
favor of paying us every cent that was prom
ised us when we took arms in defense of our
country. Let US accept no halfway promises,
but let their yea be yea, or their nay, nay.
That is the line upon which we must now fight,
and if we fight for our friends at the polls, we
shall be fighting for ourselves.

A PLEASING CONTRAST.

Where in the civilized world are such con-
trasts to be found as here in England, the
/" bonniest summer land in all the world u?
Carlyle writing to Emerson from Yorkshire,
called his temporary dwelling place "This
most beautiful and very ugly country He
might have included the whole island in his
phrase Nothing more hdeous than the Mer-

anything more quantity charming than Here
ford, quaintest of English cathedral towns.
Yet two hours ride by rail brought us from
Merthyr to Hereford which we reached on the
first day of autumn, autumn, with strong
autumnal wind blowing, a clear sky spreading
above US, feelzed with swiftly sailing clouds,
tie traces of the recent storm visible only in
the first fallen leaves that strewed the cathe-
dral close. wonderfully quiet spot is this
cathedral close at o'clock on Sunday evening,
when the faithful are within, and only the
tourist, who prefers prowling, is left among the
whirling leaves outside Then the closters
of the school have fictitious interest, by
reason of the entrance notice forbidding
strangers, and the cathedral cloister itself, shut
off by high and thick stone wall, becomes the
most alluring spot in Hereford. The tower and
crypt and Lady Chapel seem oyerhung with
mystery in the thickening darkness, and there
is quick sense Of comfort and companionship
when the first lamp appears in the deanery
window. Not a sound is to be heard in the
close, save the rustic of the wind-stirred leaves,
until the organ response tells that the service
has begun.
AN ANCIENT CHARITY.
From a hill near Hereford there is an en-
chanting view of the valley of the Wye and of
Hereford. Descending the hill and returning
towards the Green Dragon Inn, we passed an
ancient looking stone wall broken by wide
arch, through which a garden might be seen,
shut in beyond by ruined walls. This was an
unexpected vision, and We walked under the en-
trance arch, crossed a stone-paved courtyard
surrounded by two-storied stone buildings,
passed another archway and stood in a neat
garden where peas and beans in orderly array
were bordered by rows of larkspur and heavily
blooming rosetrees At the end of the garden
were broken arches and wide reaches of solid
masonry, mantled with ivy SO rich and massive
that it seemed o burden to the ancient walls.
Presently an old man joined usa straight,

IL Is necessary to raise a warning cry against
most mischeyous statement which has recently
been circulated. and has already done harm. -
the effect that arsenic In small doses Is good foe
the complexion" II Is not dificult TO imagine
the risks women will Incur TO preserve Or
improve their good hooks" No more ingenious
device Tor recommending drug can be hit upon
than that which the authors of this most baneful
prescription of arsenic for the complexion"
have adopted. Sufiice IL TO recall the fact that
for many years past chemists and ssnitarlans
have been laboring To discover means Of elimi-
mating the arsenical salts from the coloring
matter of wall papers and certain dyes once
largely used for certain articles of clothing.
III Is most unfortunate that this hopelessly
antagonistic recommendation OF arsenic TO I'M
prove the complexion should have found lite way
into print. Those who employ the drug ad-
vised-and there are many either already using
II or contemplating the rash act-will do so at
their peril. So far as they are able. however, t
viii be the duty OF medical men 10 warn the
public against this pernicious practice. which is
only too likely to be carried on secretly IL is
not without reason that We speak thus pointedly,
and urge practitioners TO be Oh the qui yive in
