THE FALL OF BLACK.
His Charges Not Substantiated, and the I'm

His Charges Not Substantiated, and the In.
vestication Failure.
Special to the Indianapolis journal
WASHINGTON April Tho investigation into
the charges made by Commissioner of Pensions
Black against the management of his Office by
Colonel Dudley has practically failed. Other
meetings of the committee will be held, aud
General Black may be able to testify, and pos
sibly other witnesses will be examined. but SO
far as substantiating any Of the material allega-
tons is concerned, the investigation has been
most miserable failure 1t has been discovered
fore the committee to prove his charges was dis.
covered subsequent to the time when the charges
were made, thus showing that when he made
his charges he had no assurance that he could
furnish proofs for them. In fact, he has &C
knowledged upon crossexamination In every In
stance where he has brought forward case,
that he did not base his charges upon facts SET
forth in that case or upon disclosures made by
an examination of the case General
Black has become what is known
as political adventurer. and
hereafter when he makes an assertion the coun-
try will take 1t with not only very large grain
of allowance, but with the understanding that it
is absurdiy false 1t has been stated within the
past two or three days that the minority Of the
committee was, so far unwilling to submit re-
port should the investigation be terminated alb
ruptly at any time. This is hardly probable,
however, as the Democrats on an Investigate
ing committee have never been known to be so
frank as to acknowledge defeat and General
Black will insist that something be said for him
when report Is finally made. Colonel Dudley
says that unless something moro tangible ID
shown than has already been proven he does
not feel called upon to appear on the witness
stand. In other words. he does not think that
anything has been proven that ought to be
disproven.

REGARDLESS of the fact that the President
has appointed horrid man, and Kentucky
colonel at that, to be Governor of Utah, the
Philadelphia Press continues to urge Miss Kate
Field for the position. The plain truth is that
Miss Field has been snubbed by the administra-
ton. 1t is the duty Of the Press, as her cham
pion, to demand an apology from the rude person
In the White House or to have r-r-revenge.

THE Philadelphia Inquirer, which claims to
be something of an authority on religious
matters, regards this as mad world because
the fact that Messrs. Jones and Small each re-
ceived $4,000 for four weeks preaching in
Chicago is charged against them as something
disreputable, whereas, the more money an
actor can carry away from city tho higher
he is esteemed. If, as the Inquirer seems to
imply. an evangelist is to be put on the level
of an actor who plays, not for public good, but
for what there is in it for himself, derogatory
comment of the sort referred to will soon
cease. It is because of lingering, but, it
seems, mistaken notion that man who goes
about preaching the gospel to the world should
not be ION the make that these criticisms
have arisen.

A DEMOCRATIC organ processes to regard
the slight interest felt by the public in the
Pan-elsctric investigation as an indication
that the people took no stock in the charges
against Mr.. Garland. This is far from being
the proper view of the matter The general
indifference arises partly from the conviction
that the investigation was meant to be, and
is, farce, but primarily for the reason that
the opinion of the public concerning Mr.. Gar
land was already formed from the facts pre-
viously admitted and which no explanation
can modify The public believes that the
Attorney general is man lacking in sense
of personal and professional honor and pro-
priety, and no amount of whitewash which
the friends of the administration may bestow
upon him will remove this impression.

No one would have thought of believing
the rumor that Secretary Manning's illness
was precipitated by quarrel with the Presi-
dent had not the denials been so oft-repeated
and so much more emphatic than the occasion
called for. The friends of the two gentlemen
do protest so strongly, however, against the
truth of the story that there really seems to
be something in 1t.

THE explanation is made that the President
has not visited Secretary Manning since his ILL.,
ness simply because it has been deemed advisa-
bio to keep all visitors away who would in any
way excite the patient. Colonel Lamont has
called on the invalid daily, however, which fact
goes to confirm the impression that the Colonel
is a very unexcting, not to say soothing, person.

UNDER Republican postmasters very great
number of the clerks and employees in the In
dlanapolis postofice were Union soldiers.
The present Democratic postmaster has been
in Office just about one year. In that time he
has removed from service under him eighteen
Union soldiers, viz:
E. P. Thompson, W.. W. yelling,
]. @. Wheat, Levi Hand.
Wallace Foster. Hans Blume,
VIM. Blake j. III. Wilmington,
ii. j. Bratton, Jos. Rnemele
]. B. Writ, e. N. Eddy,
X. Z. Craft, Benz. Crane,
FL. P. Lockwood, Jacob Mattern,
Jas. Fades, Geo. f. McGinnis.
Some of these men were badly wounded and
disabled in the military service. Very few
soldiers are left in that Office.
While Union soldiers have been so numer-
ously removed, it is also true that not single
Union soldier has been appointed to place
by the present Democratic postmaster. It is
also said that not a solitary Republican has
been appointed in that office under the civil
service examinations had from time to time.

Annual Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, will convene
on next Wednesday morning at st.
Paul's Methodist Church, in this place.
Eleven years ago, in 1875, this body of
Christian workers met in our town in
annual conference. Since that time
many changes have taken place both to
our community and to the members of
that body and some familiar faces will
be missed. About two hundred and
seventy-live delegates will be present.
The sessions, which are open to the
public, will be of great interest, and
will undoubtedly be largely attended
by or people regardless of denomina-
tion. In the name Of our town we bid
all connected with the Conference Il
warm and hearty welcome to our
homes. May this meeting be one of.the
pleasantest and most profitable in the
history Of the Conference both to our
people and to its members.
