Hidinr the Rotten Spots

Will Senator Hale's committee make
thorough investigation of the affairs ofthe
departments of the government for the
purpose of discovering if the government
has been or is being robbed by its en-
ployes? The general impression is that it
will not. The committee, it is believed,
was appointed not to expose wrong-doing
but to hide it. When Secretary Chandler
saw that an investigation of his
department was inevitable he fastened
to Senator Hale, it is said,
and requested him to move for a commit
tee Of investigation. He wanted the in
yestigation in friendly hands. A House
committee containing a majority OF DEM
ocrats, was the very last thing that he
wanted. 1t is pretty certain that Hale's
committee will find nothing, and, if it
does, it will not report it until after the
election. A distinguished speaker in the
Chicago Convention on Tuesday said that
one administration had been driven
from power because 100000 had
been stolen in one Of the de-
partments. The people do not appear
to be so indignant at the croOkedness OF
their public servants as they used to be.
Stealing has become so common since the
Republican party has been in power that
they pay little attention to the stories of
the crimes of this or that official. They
have come to think that 1t is a matter of
course that the government will be robbed
to a certain extent. Secretary Chandler
SAYS that the amount stolen in his
department is only about $4,000. The
amount stolen by Burnside in the Post
Office Department will prove, probably,
to be somewhat larger. How much has
disappeared in other departments is I'M
known. There is no use calling attention
to the millions that the star reuters man.
aged to draw from the Treasury for which
they rendered no adequate service. The
time has certainly come for an honest adj
ministratiOn of the government. If the
Republicans are given another four years
lease of power there will be no occasion
probably to devise ways and means to
get rid of the surplus revenue. The Re-
publicans will do their best to solve that
problem in a way that will not meet the
hearty approval of the country.

The Platform.

The Democratic platform is quite a
lengthy document, but it bears evidence
Of having been prepared with great delib-
Grafton and judgment. The committee
had a very difficult task to perform and
1t appears TO have done it well and salts
factOTily.
1t arraigns the Republican party for
its misdeeds and points Quits insincerity.
1t shows that that party has made
promises which it has not fulfilled and
which it does not mean to fulfill. 1t takes
no backward step with respect to
the tariff. While it declares that
Federal taxation shall be exclu-
sively for public purposes-which
is only another way of saying that all
custom house taxation must be for reve-
nue. only-it disayows any purpose to
make such radical or hasty changes as
will tend to damage any industrial
interest. This is the position that
the majority of the party occupied during
the tariff discussion at the last session of
Congress. Some concessions are made to
the protectionists in the phraseOlogy, but
there is no retreat from the tariff for reye-
nue. principle.

STATE POLITICS.

CAMDEN COUNTY, July 7.-EditOr Morning
Eeacs: Our county meeting for the selection
Of delegates to the Congressional Convention,
occurs on the 18th inst. No one name Of the
many aspirants commends itself forcibly to
our support, and our delegates will go unin-
structed, except to support the ablest and
purest-the one whose personal integrity and
high sense of honor will be able to influence
even the House of Representatives. The First
district has many such, but none are more
-eminently distinguished than Henry r.
Jackson, whose reputation is national one.
Every aspirant, unless eaten up by vanity
and self-eonceit, must feel that his own claims
are insignificant when compared with those
of this veteran soldier and diplomatist, this
able jurst and eloquent lawyer and orator.
This accomplished scholar and poet, this sue
cessful business man and good citizen, whose
public and private life are equally unassail-
able and beyond suspicion.
a man, every section OF the district will feel
safe that its interests will not be neglected.
The friends Of the other aspirants think, and
doubtless correctly, that the claims Of each Of
their favOrltes are equal to those OF any other.
But they are young men and can bide their
time, The people of Camden are averse to
the drawing of all sectional lines. 1t is to
our interest that Brunswick should prosper
and become great city, but in selecting our
representative we care not whether he lives
in Chatham or Glynn, Emanuel or Liberty,
provided he has the qualifications so pre-emi-
nently united in the character Of Gen. Jack
son. Your correspondent is no politician, and
knows nothing of the pledges and combina-
tons already enteredllnto, ana can only nope,
in common with many others, that when the
friends of each candidate discover that they
are in a minority, they will with one accord
unite and give us a candidate, without fear,
without reproach-one who will reflect honor
upon the district, the State, and the South.

The First Ballot.

The first ballot shows Cleveland long
way ahead OF any other candidate. His
vote, however. was not larger than was ex-
pected. His friends are very confident
that he viii be nominated on the fourth,
and perhaps on the third, ballot. he is 50
much stronger than any Of the other can
didates, however, that they have reason 70
be confident. A strong fight was made
against him, yesterday, however, and the
day before. In fact, the fight against him
has been very earnest ever since the con-
vention began 70 assemble. This con-
slant. persistent work has undoubtedly
had its effect and may finally result IN
the nomination OF some other candidate.
II Cleveland Is defeated what are Bayard's
prospectss Il must be admitted that
they are not very encouraging. There Is
no doubt that two-thirds Of the convention
prefer him. The Southern delegates want
him. but they are too timid to cast
their ballots for him. They are
afraid OF his Dover Speech and
instead Of following their own Judgment
they are prepared to let the North and
West dictate the nomination. There is a
bare possibility that if they see the tide
running towards Bayard they may assert
themselves and nominate him.

The Herald is disposed to treat lightly
DIR. Koch's theory respecting the cholera
in France. Koch says the cholera at
Marseilles and Toulon is true Asiatic
cholera, because he has found in the
French victims the same "microbe" Of
cholera that he found in Egypt and India.
Passing over the fact with only a slight
reference that scientists as able as Koch
take no stock in his ''micrODe" theory the
Herald points out that the cholera at
Toulon and MarseiIles appeared just about
the time that a very large amount of green
fruit was placed upon the market. A
great gale, it seems, had relieved the
apricot trees of much of their green fruit.
The farmers, anxious to turn an honest
penny, carted this unwholesome stuff to
the towns and cities, where great deal
of it was consumed. If there is anything
in the green apricot story it is little Gu
rious that no cholera has appeared at the
towns in the vicinity of the two points Of
infection. Koch may not be right, but his
''microbe'' theory appears to be more rea-
sOnable than the green apricot theory.
