'"The cunning hand of Mr.. Blaine is trace

REAL INVESTIGATION WANTED.

REAL INVESTIGATION WANTED.
There ara plenty of subjects before the
present Democratic Legislature of Indiana
and that demand will not be answered by such
bold farces and frauds as that attempted
to be palmed off upon the people as
an investigation of the State Treasury.
The public are pretty thoroughly informed
upon this Treasury question, and they will
not be satisfied by the shameful misconduct
of the majority of the Investigating COM
mittee. It is not denied that the State law
is wilfully and constantly violated
by the Treasurer of State. That is con-
coded on all hands; but the excuse is
sought to be made that the custom has pre-
vailed 80 long as to be in effect a repeal of the
statutory provision. If this were true, it is
no defense, and surely no bar to the present
call for thorough and complete inquiry into
the condition of the affairs of the Treasury,
the methods of its management, the probable
safety of the funds, the character and respon-
sibility of the "collaterals" which the Treas
urer openly avows he holds, and the real
nature of the deposits he makes in the banks
whether his deposits are held as special
trust funds, or whether the moneys 90

and are liable to such losses as have already

the streets and in the public prints that the
funds to private individuals. Whether this
be true or not is'certainly proper inquiry by
the legislative committee; and if there have
been, or are, private individuals doing bust

it should be known what security the Treas
urer held or now holds for such loans It is
no answer to say that the State is
Unidentified by sufficient bond. The public
know something of the expense and success
attending the collection Of penalties from
sureties and experience shows that the larger
the penalty the more difficult the collection.
Without impeaching in the slightest the in
tegrity Of Mr. Cooper, or questioning the real
safety of the public funds, the fact remains
that the attention of the people of the State
and of the county has been so called to the
treasury. by reason of the official mes.

WASHINGTON M. E. CHURCH.
The Relations Between Methodist
Pastor and His People.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

ETOm Tue hliWdukee SenllO6ts
The Rev. j. r. Creighton, the
newly appointed minister at the
Washington Avenue Methodist church,
preached his first sermon yesterday
morning from the third verse of the
third chapter of Amos, his text being
the words "Can Two Walk Together
Except They Be Agreed" His re-
marks were in the nature of an
introduction to his congregation. The
workings of the Methodist itineracy.
ne said, had given him to the congre-
CATION as pastor. In that system the
people surrendered their right of direct
presentation, and the ministers have
to depend upon their voluntary sup
port and upon their bishops. Notwith-
standing that it is sometimes hard to
abide by the decisions made, they are
necessary, and God seems to have put
the stamp of His approval upon the
system. Through this system" the
speaker said." | am able to look down
from this pulpit to-day and call you
my people for the first time. Before
taking single step we should under
stand ourselves, and give hearty and
mutual pledges to each other.
First there should be oneness of
sentiment between us. Troubles may
come to you as members, and to me as
pastor, but there should be between US
a bond of mutual sympathy which will
help US both. The day has gone by
when the minister is parsonage to be
held in awe. | am your minister,
and yet | am man, longing to reach
towards you with my sympathy and
asking the same from you. Some
members of churches are wont to
display more anxiety about their min
listers piety than their own. Some
ministers are continually pointing out
the guideboard to salvation, but never
following it themselves. Christian
