\ telegram from COLUMBUS, Ohio, states
that the common pleas court has decided
that Dalton the clerk Of Hamilton county,
must appear with his books before the leg.
islative investigating committee. Should
he refuse to do this he will go to jail, which
is much better habitation than hG1Gservcs
to occupy.
The books which Dalton has declined to
show will reveal the fact that the Demo-
cratic party holds the Ohio Senate by so
clumsy forgery as the placing of cipher
over the top of the figure in the footing
of q column, making 7a6 pass for 926. The
Cincinnati COmmpcidl-Gd:cH in recent
issue puts the case clearly:
]. The Democrats have to hold in their
places the four senatorial frauds from this
county, or they would lose their grip upon the
senate altogether.
.. This Is because their seats arc all CON
tested, and the man whose seat IS under con
test cannot vote on II himself. Each of the
four must have the support of his three com.
panions in iraudulcncy or he is gone,
3. The whole Democratic party, therefore,
must base itself on the title of Brashears as
the corner upon which it rests or give up the
Senate.
]. And Brashears was counted IN by Dalton
amending the returns so as to give him the
full benefit of the forgery which was not con-
icrrcd uron him by the forgors themselves,
and Dalton, brought to the bar Of the house,
falls back upon the sovereignty of his be.
boodled county Tor protection.
Thus the 0 upon the :, counting ., becomes
absolutely and exclusively the symbol of the
Democracy of Ohio and II is to vindicate the
carrying out of the forgery, It's extension 50 as
to include Brashoars, that the fight is made In
the senate by the state Democracy.
This reads like harsh arraignmcnt, but
it is the simple truth, undened and un-
dcniablc.
And there is not one leading Democrat in
the United States who has had moral cour.
age enough to stand up like man and cry
out against such infamy

The fate Of the night schools, which have
been established through the efforts Of
number of philanthropic ladies, is now de.
pending on the action OF the District com.
missioners and Of Congress. We mention
the commissioners first, because We have
reason to believe that the matter rests
principally with them, for so fayorably has
the subject been received by most Of the
members of Congress who have been con.
suited in regard 10 It that hearty recon.
mendatlOn from the commissioners seems
TO be about the only thing wanting to in
sure the desired action.
That action is the appropriation Of some.
what more than q thousand dollars to pay
the teachers of the night schools for SER
vices rendered during the present winter,
aud the making of proper provision for the
support of similar schools during the school
year lSSGIs1
The attendance at the existing night
schools has been regular, and the interest
Of the pupils in their studies shows no
abatement. In these respects the present
experiment is most gratifying success.
There are about $50 pupils enrolled and up
wards Of 400 have signiiled their desire TO
attend by signing paper to that effect.
Those who entertain a similar desire, to
whom the opportunity of signing such a
paper has not been offered, may doubtless
be counted by thousands.
The public school system is designed for
the poor as well as for the rich, but the
children Of the former are IN great measure
denied the benefit Of all save the lower
grades owing to the necessity of beginning
to work for living before they can get half
way through the course of instruction pro-
yided in our city schools.
II public safety and wcll-being demand
public instruction ut all, they demand pub
lie night schools no less than public day
schools; and we hope the commissioners
will recommend no niggardly measure, but
put themselves squarely on record before
the working people Of the District as the
earnest supporters Of q school system by
which working mems children may profit
as much MS others,

Senator Fye's bill providing for a con
grcss Of American nations should receive
the cordial support Of patriotic and enter
plising citizens irrespective Of party.
The promotion Of commerce should be so
universally demanded as to he above aud
beyond party.
The subjects proposed by the bill for the
consideration Of the congress point TO a
practical removal Of many barriers to lnti-
mate trade relations between the nations Of
the western hemisphere. As for ourselves
the products Of the Central and South
American countries are mostly on the free
let. It would not be unreasonable to ask
Brazil to remove the export duty on coffee,
which we consume so largely. Failing to
accomplish this, We might very properly
stimulate its production In other countries.

The Minority Report

The Democratic senators composing the
minority Of the Senate judiciary committee
are, at the present time, preparing a report
on the issue between the President and the
Senate. 1t Is not expected that they will
cvenattempt to answer the cogent reason.
ing of the majority report prepared by
Senator Edmunds.
Finding It impossible to do so, they will
cndeavor to divert attention from the ques-
tion Of the right Of the Senate to examine
department records and papers by an eru-
dite and exhaustive discussion Of the power
of removal by the President.
Discussion Of the question whether the
President has or has not the right of re-
moval furnishes no good reason for refus-
ing to comply with the request or dlrec.
tion of tho Senate upon the departments
for information in the shape of official
papers in their custody.
Secretary Lamar is virtually the chief Of
the patent Office and It is not surprising,
therefore, that he has demonstrated his
skill as an inventor by drawing an imagin-
ary line between public and private papers
in the same pigeon hole!
On this gauzy device, suggestive of the
three-card monte game, the administration
bases Ito hope of winning public confidence
in the pending controversy.
The Presidents letter to George William
Curtis concerning removals and appoint
ments, as well as the declarations of his in
augural address, has placed his admiuistra-
tion in an attitude Of inconsistency, the ex-
posure Of which nothing but an invasion of
the well established customs of former ad.
ministratlons-namely, suppressug the pa
pers in the custody of the departments
can prevent, as he has made more than six
hundred suspensions which are believed tc
he contrary to the policy indicated by that
letter and address.
