Wants an investigation.
Communicated

You have taken exactly the right stand in
regard to the Treasury Investigation. l be-
lieve, as do all Democrats here, that the sug-
gestion for it by the late Republican Gov.
ernor was made out OF personal spleen. But
that is not here nor there now; the matter is
before the public, and in such way as will
hurt the Democratic party of the State I'm.
less the investigation Is made. Republic ans
are already twitting Democrats by saying
the Treasurer can not afford an inspection
Of his cash drawer. Democrats refute the
statement as calumny, but the Repub-
licsns then ask, why, then, doee he op-
pose having the Inspection" We can not
allow the matter to be passed over. No
Democrat and no Republican really thinks
that Mr.. Cooper is short, but he might Just
as well be so. so far as concerns the next
election, in 1886, il committee of the Leg
islature does not examine and then be able
to report his accounts straight. 1t isn't the
Republicans who need the Investigation so
much, now, IS we Democrats. The Repub-
Ecane, following their late Governors lead,
have thrown the burden of proof on the
Democrats, and the situation absolutely de.
msnds that we have our Treasurer prove
himself as clean handed as we believe he is

To the People of Indiana.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 21.-The Indiana ex-
hibitors at the Worlds Exposition at New
Orleans, having in view the welfare of the
great enterprise, and wishing to place 1t in q
proper light before the people of our State,
regard the following statements at this time
as essential and only fair to those interested .
So conflicting have been the opinions con.
corning the enterprise that it is believed
that many have either abandoned their in
tention of visiting the Exposition. or have
found it difficult 10 decide as 10 its charac-
ter and merits. 1t is to be regretted that on
the part OF some newspaper correspondents
there seems TO have been tendency to mag
nify the defects and disposition 10 with
hold the truth respecting the efficiency of
the Exposition.
THIS lack of interest and cooperation by
the p.ofessed friends of industry is an in
jus tice to those here represented who depend
upon large attendance for the success of
the investments. Our purpose In addressing
tn letter IS to c0unteract, If possible. the
effect OF prejudice and false reports,
by the brief statement that the Exposition
is complete In every essential particular,
making 1t in the opinion of those compe-
tent to judge in such matters, one of the
grandest exhibitions OF mechanical and
natural products ever brought together.
As matter of special interest to Indiana
people it may be stated that the Indiana
Blocded Stock Company" have been awarded
twelve premiums, amounting to $l,750,
which is creditable to the company and
highly honorable to the State, and we hope
that in the awards yet to be made Indiana
will be we'll represented.
AS exhibitors here in attendance we urge
upon you that in Its present condition the
Exposition is we'll worthy of any necessary
cost of time and money, and even of some
sacrifice to enjoy its advantages.
The accommodations afforded to visitors
are ample, and the sverage cost of living at
transient rates may be estimated at about
81 70 per day, including fifty cents admis-
sion to the Exposition and street car fare.
The Indiana exhibitors will welcome all
who come, and will do all in their power to
make their visit entertaining and profitable.

Ex-Governor Porter vs.. MT. Cooper.
Communicated

The Republicans are in spssms because

gate Ex-Governor Porter. Mr.. Porter wanted

SLY Ben Butt.


The House committee on military af-
fairs has been investigating the accounts
of Gen. Ben Butler as one of the board
of managers of the National Soldiers
Home, and has discovered very large
shortage $4,000. 1t appears that the
eock-eyed child of destiny has been act
ing as treasurer, disbursing officer, aud
itor, executive committee and everything
else of the board, and has been doing
just as he pleased, and his colleagues did
not interfere. Last summer a sub-com-
mittee Of the military committee made
tour of the National Soldiers Home and
investigated matters thoroughly. The
result was the discovery that the reven-
ues of the homes were breaking away
badly, and the committee began an in
vestigation of Mr.. Butler, with the result
above stated. The committee will not
ask for an investigation, believing that
their own investigation is sufficient. The
government is paying Butler $1,000 a
year rent for two of his houses on Capt.
toll hill, but this property is u ortgaged.
1t is presumed that Butler has means of
making the funds of the homes good, but |
the fact that he lately borrowed $4,000
on houses leased to the government has
given rise to the rumor that he is finan-
cially embarrassed and that all of his
expenses during The late presidential
were not paid by the Repub-
Iican national committee. AS the Gen.
erals variegated political career has not
left many political friends, it is expected |
hat the House win not show much SYM
patty for him.

Bismarck is wrought up again over
the possibility of the capital being re-
moved to Pierre, from whence it came.
Those Dakota fellows are nothing if not
scheming to unload Dakota dirt. The
capital was removed to Bismarck last
year under very questionable circum-
Stances, and very expensive buildings
erected. Town property then went up
higher than the thermometer does in
that portion Of the banana belt, and
prosperity followed arace. Now comes
al .majority in the House and passes a
bill which removes the CAPITAL, decreases
the price of property, and makes many
poor men. It's passage through the
Council is as yet conjectural The Da-
kota Legislators may be accused as
scheming and bribing, but, unlike their
brethren of Minnesota, have never been
designated as "chumps."
