One Day spent In Investigation by the
! Committee.

The congressional committee OF investiga-
ton, with attaches, proceeded to the National
Soldiers Home, Togus. yesterday and COM
menced their work. The forenoon was
devoted to thorough examination of the
Home. A tour of all the buildings was made
and ride taken over the grounds and farm.
AT 30 L. NJ. the committee dined with the
governor, and at 3 o'clock convened in the
library building and listened to complaints
from the inmates, all who wished being given
an opportunity TO come before the committee
and present their grievances. There were
but six or eight who ayailed themselves of
the privilege and all complaints were brought
against previous administrations of the
Home, the men, without exception, sreaking
faVoraoiy of the present management. The
complaints were mostly in regard to pensions
over which this committee has no iurisdc.
ton The men were first question by Chair
man Rosecrans, after which each member
made such inquiries as he choose All the
evidence was taken down verbatim by the
stenographers. About an hour was occupied
by the committee with this portion of the
investigation. At Dayton, Ohio, it required
ten days and 100 men were examined. The
listening to grievances being completed, the
orderly sergeants were examined a. TO how
they administered discipline and what diff.
culties were met with. All agreed 10 saying
that liquor was the great stumbling block.
The woods around the Home are full of il
and 1t Is found almost an mpossibility to
keep 1t from the men. 1t was ascertained
that about 10 per cent Of the men drink more
or less. The condition of the inmates, how
ever, was found much better than in other
homes which are located in states where the
sale of liquor is lawful. The sergeants were
questioned as to the sale of lagar beer at the
Home, all but one believed it had a tendency
to appease the appetites of the soldiers and
prevent them from drinking something
stronger. This the only home where anything
approaching an alcoholic drink is sold Some
ia barrels of beer are consumed weekly.
Today the committee will look over the
accounts and examine the governor. treas
urer, commissary, commissary sergeant, and
non-cOmmissoned officers of the Home. The
investigation will probably be completed
today and the committee leave the city Fri
the committee that an enlargement of the
Home would probably be made at an early
date.

Mr.. TilJen, writing of the enOr-
nous taxation imposed upon IFS by
the protectionists, has said: at was
aggravated by most unscientifc and
ill-adIusted methods of taxation that
increased the sacrifices of the people
far beyond the receipts Of the Treas
ury.' These are the clarion tones of
the mouth-piece of aightforward
democracy for tariff reform, and make
no uncertain sound. Republican leaC-
ers in the house of representatives,
are putting their party squarely on
the platform OF opposition to this
measure, designed to relieve the peo-
pie from an unjust and bnrdensome
system of taxation whose benefits
accrue to beggarly few monopolists
who cry for protection from a fair
and free competition with the manu-
facturers of tho world. It is impos-
sible to believe that the people of the
west can feel hopeful of relief from Il
perpetuation in power of the party
which for quarter of a century has
in the most cowardly manner shilke
this issue, and we believe that the
coming contest Will settle that matt,
most effectually.
