SENATOR SHERMAN.
An Address Touching Briefly on Number Of
Current Political Topics.

COLUMBUS, o., Aug. 81 The new State-fair
grounds were formally dedicated, to-day, in the
presence of a large concourse of people, which
marked the opening of the thirty seventh annual
exhibition Speeches of an appropriate char
acter were made by Senator Sherman, Judge
Allen G. Thurman, Governor Foraker and 9TH
ers. Senator Sherman made the speech of the
day After opening with an outline of the
growth of the industrial interests of the coun-
try, and showing the benefits of invention, he
proceeded to consider the disadvantages of the
great change that had been made in the last
forty years, and to discuss the remedies pro-
posed The regulation OF the railroads.
he said was one OF the most lmpQr-,
tant questions, which he would only
state leaving Congress to argue It. Concerning
protection there might be difference of opinion.
Nearly every body said that we can and ought to
levy taxes on imported rather than domestic
goods. One party says that it ought to be done
for revenue only and another saws for protection.
as we'll Now, am for both. The Ohio people
ought to agree that whatever principle is
applied ought to extend to the produc-
tons of the farm as well as those of the work.
shops. We ought, also, to agree that the
same principle ought to extend to the raw arti
Gle as we'll as 10 the finished. The problem Of
immigration is also serious one and demands
careful study. Objectionable immigrants
ought to be excluded. immigration has added
enormously TO our wealth, and has made us
what we are but now, with changed conditions,
there is a growing feeling that even so great
good might have elements of evil in it ut is
sufficient to say" said Senator Sherman. that
with our growing population we must corr
meuce the study of these problems Of
social order and employment that have occupied
tho attention of European countries. We must
cultivate n stronger national feeling. The civil
war has removed the great cause of our dssen-
sion. Let us feel that, as members of the great
American family, we are all akin TO each other;
that Wa cherish the same flag. enjoy the same
liberties, entitled TO the same protection. and
are common heirs of an inheritance of free insti-
tutons founded upon the vaor and wisdom OF
our ancestors, and preserved and strengthened
hy this generation. The farmers Of America are
the strength Of this country"

why an Inquiry Was Dropped.

CRY OF MEXICO, Aug. 31.-An adjourned
meeting of portion of the members of the
American colony was held late this afternoon az
the house of Gen. John B. Frisbie, to consider
the charges made against special agent Sedg-
wick Resolutions of censure were pending, but
substitute motion was offered and carried that
Mr.. Sedgwick was here as a private citizen aud
that it was outside the interest Of the members
of the American colony to pursue the inquiry
now pending into his conduct. All interest in
the matter seemed to have subsidized, and the
meeting closed in five minutes the friends of Mr..
Sedgwick considering the action taken as set
ting the injurious reports against him. The
manager of the Iturbide Hotel furnished a lss-
ter in which he denies the reports about his
guest Mr. Sedgwick. asserting positively that
that gentleman returned to his hotel at an early
hour after the ball, free from signs of intoxica-
ton, and retired to his room, behaving in gem
tlemanly manner The members of the Jockey
Club propose giving grand dinner to Mr. Sedg-
wick, to night, TO vindicate the hospitality Of
the club and show their respect for him.

THE New York Times concludes a long ed
itorial upon the question Of legislation upon
the drink traffic, as follows:
s'The Republicans Of this country might
make this vital and vitalizing issue if they
would approach it with good sense and cour-
age, avoiding upon the one hand the radical
errors of the Prohibitionists, and upon the
other the indifference of the Democratic party
to the evils of an unrestrained traffic in liquor.
Through the adoption of the high
license policy, or some other form
of rigid restraint aad repression, the
Republican party while carrying into
effect the undoubted convictions of a
majority of it's members, might achieve just
and lasting settlement of the urgent issue
which has called the Prohibition party into
being The issue is properly one for party's
taking up, since it is far too broad to be called
local, and it is an issue which must find its
settlement at the ballot-box. It can not be
got rid of by evasion and avoidance And
the least skillful political prophet in the Re
publican ranks can easily see what his party's
fate will be if this issue continues to occupy
its present prominence"

Mr.. BAYARD is an innocent, sure enough.

THE Indianapolis Journal continues to cry
out against the postal service Of the country
under Cleveland. It seems to overlook the fact
that about one half Of the officers and employees
Of the postal service are Republicans. Per-
haps if these were turned out the service would
be improved Evansville Courier.
As Ia Journal has before remarked, if it is
the Republican clerks who are at fault, let
everyone of them be Immediately dismissed.
The country is more interested in an efficient
mail service than in the political views Of the
clerks Whether Republican or Democratic,
the public wants good service. But people
with sense enough to come in out of the wet,
remembering the almost perfect service before
the wholesale discharge of clerks for ''offen-
sive craftsmanship" will conclude that the fault
is With the new, inexperienced, incompetent
men and party workers" who have been
pastured upon the public through the work

ADMIRAL AMMEN concludes lengthy arti-
cle giving his "reminiscences of Jefferson
Davis with this paragraph:
"The termination Of our civil war bore no
tokens of an intended or actual conquest.
There was no despoliation following it, nor
was single individual held responsible by
trial or punishment for the direct and indirect
loss of probably a million Of lives, and for the
waste Of thousands of millions of dollars A
British officer Of high rank remarked to me
soon after that such a close of such an event
full struggle was truly sublime. Now that so
many years have rolled by, and not person
brought before tribunal as culprlt, is 1t not
worthy Of great people to consider the past
as natural sequence and an atonement for
great national wrongs of omission and COM
misson-to no longer enter into Judgment the
one against the other, but to bow our heads
with reverence to the divine decree: "Ven-
geance is mine; will repay, saith the Lord!"
We most heartily echo this sentiment, and
are satisfied all the people of the North do.
There is no feeling of revenge in any ones
mind, and we all recognize the great national
wrongs for which the Nation and the people
were made to suffer- North and South alike.
But will Admiral Ammen be kind enough
to indicate when and where any lead
ing person in the South has recognized
any wrong committed by that section9
Was the recent resurrection of JEFF
ferson Davis and his triumphal tour through
the South a recognition Of wrongs for which
the South had suffered2 We hope to see the
day when the South will feel as Admiral
Ammen expresses himself, but that day is not
now. The Admiral should address his noble
sentiments to his friends in the South.

paper has discovered that the young women who

more must be better, and they have played SO

THE New York Star reproduces that old ar
gument that a very small per cent. of the
people Of this country are benefited by pro-
lection. That is, while so many thousands are
benefciaries the remaining thousands practi-
cally foot the bill. Preparing table, or using
one that some other free trader had prepared
in the remote past. the Star shows that of the
working population of the city Of New York
ST. 600 are protected and 425, 900 are not, so
that the latter have to stand burden of tax
alton for the benefit of the former Without
now attempting to demonstrate the error of
the STAR we may be permitted to ask: How
would it do to remove the tariff, and buy
abroad the articles now protected, forcing
these 81, 900 men into other channels of bust
ness? It will then appear that the 425, 900 are
somehow protected too. There are thousands
of men working under protection who would
be compelled to seek other fields of labor were
the tariff removed, and they would undoubt-
edly become the active competitors of the
men who, according to the Star, are not now
in any way benefited by the protective tariff
Fortunately there are great many who take
broader view Of this great question than the
Star and its kind do, and the result is that the
American idea is sustained as q national
policy
