THE Ohio Republican Representatives in
Congress have addressed the Senate committee
on privileges and elections letter asking re-
consideration of action in the Payne case and
it is accompanied by letter of Messrs. Little
and Butterworth, in which they outline the
evidence they say they can produce on an in
vestigation. The action of the Senate COM
mittee was surprise and disappointment to
the country; and we cannot see how the mem
bers can refrain from giving the Ohio Repub-
licans the opportunity to show, as they claim
they can, that Senator Paynes seat was
bought by the most unblushing bribery. No
honest man can doubt this, in the face Of the
facts already known Can the Senate COM
niittee afford to block an inquiry into such a
shameless transaction as Payne's nomination
and election seems to have beenP

Mr.. PowDERLY's ignorance of the relations
Of the Associated Press toward Jay Gould
may be excusable; but it takes good deal of
charity to excuse even ignorance in making
untruthful and malicious attacks Nobody
has been treated more kindly by the press of
the United States than General Master Work
man Powderly, and for him now to vent his
spleen reveals somewhat of case of swelled
head. Mr.. Powderly should not make the
mistake Of supposing himself the king pin Of
the universe. Creation would go right on
even were Mr.. Powderly to be withdrawn
from all connection with mundane affairs.

"A WASHINGTON special says:

'The fiscal year to close tomorrow will
find the national finances in pretty good
shape, in spite Of the croakers. The public
debt, which twenty years ago was SO for
every man, woman and child in the country,
is now $23 apiece; and the interest charge,
which at that time was over So per head, is
now 70 cents per capita. The total debt to-
day is just half what it was then, and the an
nual interest charge but about one-fourth Of
what it was at that time"
And during the entire time this wondrous
work was being carried on the Republican
party was in power, and conducted the affairs
of the Nation. Scarcely dollar Of the debt
has been reduced since the Democratic adj
ministration came into power. For six
months there was not dollar, and not until
compelled to by an attack in Congress did the
Democratic Secretary Of the Treasury call in
single bond. What has become of the
much tslked-of surplus? The Democrats have
dissipated every dollar Of it. According to
Mr.. Manning's report, a deficiency threatens
the Treasury, and the Democratic House of
Representatives has increased the appropria-
tons to a higher point than ever before.

If Commissioner Black is right in refusing
the mother of Arnold Shaw her pension on
the ground that she was slave at the time of
her sons death, then the bounty due him was
wrongfully paid the mother Indeed, if she
was slave, Notwithstanding the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation, it follows that her son was
also a slave, and as the master was clearly en-
titled to the earnings of the slave, it follows
that the bounty was not only wropgfully paid
the mother, but that it is still due the master.
Let claim agents take notice.

TT is not to the credit of the police and
court authorities of Chicago that an Anarch-

being chosen to try the rioters that partici-
pated in the Haymarket dynamite massacre
He was promptly excused from service, but
not until he had free access to the three jurors
selected during the past three days. The
greatest care should be exercised in the con-
duct of this trial, that no man be chosen who
will stand between the accused and the hang

WHILE Mr.. Cleveland was vetoing why
didn't he veto the bill granting pension of
$4,000 year to the widow Of General Han

widow of Gen. David Hunter, a regular army

such thing as consistency of action, but the
President is apparently unacquainted with it.

AS was intimated some days ago, the Jour-
nal, at one time, was inclined to look with
some misgivings upon the then impending
convention Of literary people to be held in
this city In the absence Of information as to
their designs, it was feared that they might
enter into combination and effect "a corner"
in literature, which would be productive of
embarrassment to publishers DESTROYS of Sc
curing their wares at the usual market rates
That this suspicion was unreasonable under
the circumstances we are hardly prepared to
and mysterious character, and to the cautious
business mind-the possibly too-sordid mind
suggested danger. However this may be,
whether blamable for its fears or not, the
Journal is free to confess that never was APP
prehension so groundless. A single glance
over the assembly is sufficient to prove that
they are not here for treason, stratagem or
spoils, but are actuated only by the highest
and most amiable of motives No locker on
could for moment suspect the bright and
handsome ladies or the intellectual gentlemen
who compose the convention Of cherishing any
Interior designs.
Seriously, the gathering of the literary peo-
pie of the Wabash valley is one which reflects
credit upon themselves and the community
Both in its purpose and in its contributions to
literature Indiana stands high in the liter
airy world. Many of the writer's native to
this State have worldwide regulations, and of
these it is not necessary to speak. Whether
the number of other aspirants for fame have
had their ambition excited by the success of
the few it is impossible to say but whatever
may be the cause it is undeniable that the lit
erary spirit imbues large proportion of the
community. In some individuals it appears
only in an appreciation of the best in litera-
ture, but in vast number of cases the crea-
tive faculty is reused and the writer is made.
How many writer's of excellent verse and
prose Indiana can number the columns of the
Journal can testify, most Of them appearing
before the world, at one time and another,
through that medium. That they should
gather together for mutual profit and &C
quaintance, and to further the ends towards
which they are all working, is plan which,
though novel, seems, by the manner in which
it is being carried out, to be an admirable
one. That it will result in permanent organ
ization and in advancing the interests of all
concerned is the Journals wish, and th ere is
every reason for believing that this will be
the cases.

THE English elections will begin to morrow
and on Saturday. Already, in districts where
there are no contests, returns of candidates
have been made; but the actual contest be-
tween the classes and the masses will come on
within the next two days. AS the +1sernal
said when the Cabinet determined to appeal
to the country the chances are greatly against
Mr. Gladstone. The interests arrayed in op-
position to home rule are vast and powerful
and it will be almost miracle if they do not
succeed in returning an adverse majority to
the new Parliament. That now seems to be
conceded even by the Gladstonites, and we be-
lieve Mr.. Gladstone himself went into disso
luton thinking he would be defeated on the
first round. But revolutions never go back
ward and home rule is as certain as the future
Freedoms battle once begun.
