BECAUSE the expert set to examine the
books of the district government reports that
accounts have been loosely kept, and that
there are suspicious circumstances about
them, it is not on that account to be at once
assumed that the district officials have stolen
public money, or have otherwise been dis
honest This expert preliminary examina-
tion lasted but few hours and was made for
the purpose OF ascertaining whether more
extended investigation was necessary. If an
investigation is ordered there must be an
expert employed to make it, and in all prob
ability this man will get that employment
and the benefit of it. His own interests,
therefore, would lead him to make the most
possible in this first report of such irregu-
larties as he may have discovered.

ervice. Ho was not elected, but a popular
vote Of 1,341,0OO from eleven states was an
honor Of which any citizen might be proud.
Unfortunately, however, that is q record
which, like his testimonials from foreign
scientific societies, does not yield any in
come. No grander political campaign ever
occurred in this country, and II Fremont was
not elected he blazsd tho way for others, and
made possible that grand succession of events
which, under Providence, have Injured
so greatly to the honor and well
faro Of the country. Soon after tho
breaking out of the civil war ho was made q
major general, but resigned his commission
in 1862 on account of what no deemed unjust
treatment, Since then he has lived in re-
tirement. The old man, who once filed so
largo space in his country's history and in
the eye Of the world, is now poor. Ho Is II
years old, and in the course Of nature cannot
be expected to live many years. He has
done much for tho country it has done little
or nothing for him.
To restore him to tho rank OF major
general and to place him on the retired list,
would bo a graceful act-not generous, but only
just. 1t would not be voting gratuity, but
paying debt. 1t would cost the people but
trine, while it would cheer and comfort the
declining years of one who has braved many
dangers in the service Of the country and
faced extraordinary porils for the honor of

Senator Miller, of California, says tho San

The English are much wrought up over
the position of Gen. Gordon. 1t is perfectly
apparent that he has been abandoned to his
fate, and what that is likely to be is not hard
to imagine. The withdrawal Of British
troops from Suakin without Attempting to
send relief force TO his aid was seemingly
justified by the tremendous climatic and
physical difficulties in the way of a march
overland, but Lord Napier has declared that
it is entirely possible to march force from
Suakin to Berber, and his declaration
has great weight with the English public,
The government is solely responsible for
sending Gordon to Khartoum, and to coldly
leave such man exposed to destruction
under such circumstances is felt to be an in
effaceable stain to British honor and courage.
John Bull docs not like an imputation Of
that kind, and, strong as Mr.. GladStone's
command of affairs has been, the fate of his
ministry is inextricably bound up with that
of tho enthusiast who is struggling against
tremendous odds in the far, distant Nile

THE Young Mems Democratic club Of
Brooklyn on Saturday evening gave certain
conspicuous democrats an opportunity Of
further expressing their political views
before the meeting of tho national demo-
cratic convention. Mr.. Baysrd was at tho
dinner, and when he rose to respond to q
toast some enthusiastic admirer proposed
three cheers for "the next president of the
United States" Mr.. Bayard was so much
embarrassed by the warmth of his
reception that he forgot to say anything
about the tariff beyond tho general
declaration that taxes ought not to bo laid
for the purpose of transferring the property
of the many to the pockets of the few. This
is is safe proposition, which nobody will
dispute. Mr.. Morrison is too much engrossed
with his tariff bill just now to attend free
trade dinners, but in his letter to the Brook
lyn club he says that he and the congressman
who agree with him are trying to mako the
burdens of the people Of the great state of
New York little lighter, her commerce lit.
tie freer." Speaker Carlisle writes more hope
fully than Mr.. Morrison, and tells the young
men of the club to assure their democratic
friends that the great majority of their rep
resentatives in congress are determined to
make earnest and honest effort during the
present session to inaugurate the policy OF
tariff reform. We should be glad if the
hOspitable young democrats of Brooklyn would
give a dinner every Saturday evening from
no until after the presidential election, and
| invite Mr.. Carlisle and Mr. Morrison to be
present. Whether they should go or stay at
homo and send apologetic notes, thoy would
be certain to say something that would bo
highly advantageous to the republicans

my daughter came homo from school
yesterday" said the colonel, "and asked me
what kind of a government existed in the
District of Columbia. She goes to Jefferson the
school, and hor teacher had asked tho ques.
tion OF the whole room full Of alf-grown girls
Not one of them could answer, and the
teacher told them to find out before the next
day. That's the way my girl came to ask
tho question. When / tried to answer her |
was badly puzzled. 1t isn't either kingdom,
empire, republic, or democracy, 1t has
neither czar, emperor, king nor president, but
appears to be an institution with three heads
and one body, The name of the girls school
reminded me that Jefferson said: Govern
monts derive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed but that proposition
didn't fit, for we never consented to any
such thing. 1t certainly wasn't govern
ment of the people, by the people, and for
the people, for as matter Of fact the people
have mighty little to do with it. My girl
asked if it was q monarchy, either absolute
or limited, and pointed out the absence Of
royal families to prove that it couldn't be.
l finally told her to tell the teacher that this
district was small protectorate of tho United
States, chiefly used as a city of refuge for
surplus statesmen that we're slightly run

Before he became magistrate he was q

of every joint in Cincinnati. He was famed
for an intuitive sense of justice, and it
was the unanimous vote OF his dis
trict which made him a magistrate.
His court at once became court Of arbitra-
tion, and awards and all sorts Of friendly
suits were constantly pending before him,
often involving vast sums on valuable prop
erty. The greatest lawyers of the period
often addressed arguments to the famous

the United States. I have heard Charles
