The Police Investigation.

The great police investigation has
finally found its end. 1t Is said the
matter makes 259 pages of typewrit-
ing. If this is SO, the results are
nightly inconsiderable for SO much
labor and cost. The report was SUBJ
mitted to the council Tuesday evening,
and ordered placed on file in the
clerks office.
1t finds Chief Paden to be a white
winged angel of light and purity. The
committee finds that Capt Coughlin
prosecuted Mabel Lynch because she
would not pay a bill which had been
put on his hands for collection, while
the captain says he only prosecuted
her, IT she was prosecuted at all, be-
cause she did not leave town within
the "A hours given her by Chief Paden.
The committee also found that Capt.
Coughlin had refused to close up some
gambling dens during the week of the
races, just because Mr.. Messingham
the manager of the driving assocl-
alton, had asked for their suppression.
But the captain of the police hid not
like Mr.. Messingham. SO the gamblers
had full sway. His discharge is recon-
mended.
Detective Evans was charged with
conduct unbecoming an officer. 1t
would seem that this man Evans did
not like Detective Earnshaw, and in
order to get foul" on that gentle
man, concocted the scheme of making
an appointment to meet Earnshaw at
Lou Barnum's house of prostitution,
and that then finding him there arrest
him for visiting such places. 1t ap-
pears the game worked well, Earn
shaw falling into the trap easily. OF
course EarnShaW was allowed to reach
the house first, then Evans appears,
finds his brother officer there, arrests
him, and removes his star. Briefly
this is the substance of the story and
the committee finds that Evans acted
in the matter through personal spite,
and recommends that he be discharged
from the force, and also recommends
the removal of Detective .Earnshaw
for being caught in such bad company.
SO the finding of all this long and
tedious investigation" IS summed uu
in these words: Your committee
would therefore recommend that Capt.
Coughlin and Detectives Evans and
Earnshaw be removed from the police
force"
Now, before any of these removals
take glace, the Mayor says the accused
must have a hearing if they SO desire,
and of course they will, and by the
time this is done they will probably
convince the powers that be that they
are the prosecuted parties, and pos
sibly succeed in getting a resolution
through the council censuring the
committee for even presuming to in
vestigate their several cases. Such is
politics in Superior.

land and Pennsylvania clearly prove
that Lee just now is the light man in
the right place.
We lay before our readers III this
issue an account of Lees brilliant and
successful onslaught upon the aholi-
ton hOrdes, and show even from their
own record, how our gallant boys of
the cavalry have fieshed their swords
to the hilt with their Wanting foe,
and now each muSket of our infantry
has told it's fatal leaden tale.
Today Maryland is ours. tomorrow
PENNSYLVANIA will be, and the net day
Ohio-now midway, like Mahommed's
cOffin--will fall.
Success and glory to our arms! God
and right are with us.
This extract shows the ercenary
side of life i'll Vicksburg at that time.
How strange it is that greed will SO
warp our finer feelings, that men will
do as here portrayed:
sYIf aught would appeal to the
heart of stone Of the extortioner with
success, the present necessities of our
citizens would do SO. 1t is needless
our own people that our wants are
great. but still we can cOnscientiOuSly
assert our belief that there is plenty
within our lines, by an exercise Of
prudence to last us until long after
succor reaches us We are satisfied
that there are numerous persons with
in our cuy who have breadstuffs
secreted, and are doing out at the
most eXorbitant figures to those
who had not the foresight or means
at their command to provide for the
eXigncv now upon lis. n rumor has
reached us that parties in our city
have been and are now selling -four at
five dollars a pound, molasses at ten
dollars a gallon, and corn at ten dollars
a bushel We have not as yet proved
the fact upon the parties accused, bat
this allusion to the subject may induce
some of our citizens to ascertain If
such prices have been paid, and to
whom; and if SO let a brand not only
be plIced upon their brow but let it be
scared INTO their very brain, that hui
manity may scorn them as it would the
portals OF hell itself.

Here is another item which goes to
show that the Nicksburg g Johnnies "
did a good deal of whistling as a brace
to their courage, those days:
The Yanks outside our city are
considerably on the sick list. Fever,
dysentery and disgust are their com
pdnions, and Grant is their master.
The boys are deserving daily, and are
crossing the river in the region of
Warrenton, cursing Grant and abo-
litionists generally. The boys are down
upon the earth delving, the burrowing,
the bad water and the hot weather.

KEEP this in mind That nOtwith-
standing the figures representing
the national debt have been reduced
q little more than one-half; in other
words, according to the figures,
more than half the national debt has
been paid, yet it will take more of
labor or labor's products to pay the
entire debt at the close Of the war.
And what is true of the national
debt is true Of every other debt in
this country, public and private.
Though the struggling debtor may
have paid half of his debt contract
ed years ago, it will take more Of
his labor and products to pay what
he still owes than it would have
taken to pay the entire debt at the
beginning. In other words again,
all that he has paid during these
long years has been a free gift to
Shylock, tor the burden of his debt,
measured in his means of payment,
is still as great as it was when he
contracted it. This is platform
enough on which to carry on a pres
idential campaign, and it should be
kept before the people.-Progress-

ing attention to our prosperity as
people, | think is little ambiguous.
He should have been more definite.
He don't say what class of people
are 50 very prosperous. Ii he
means the Goulds, the Vanderbllts,
the Rockefellers, the various syndi-
Gates and trusts, the railroad and
telegraph corporations, and proba-
bly, himself and the rest OF the
people who go to make up the 80
600 that own more than onC-half OF
the entire wealth of the country
say if he means this class OF people,
we can say with him, yes, they are
prosperous people. But what
about the great majority of the peo-
pie who, Superintendent Porter
says, twenty years ago were out OF
debt, are now a large portion OF
them involved beyond the hope OF
redemption, in every state in the
Union. The mortgage foreclosures,
the strikes, the general unrest and
agitation throughout the country,
tell their own story OF prosperity.
Now this may be Mr.. Harrison's
idea of prosperous country, but
let him get down from his lofty
perch, and out of Wall street and
Fifth avenue, and so prospecting
in and around the hooks and corners
of our big cities, and emulate the
example of the Rev. Louis Banks,
of Boston, and if he did, it might
be possible that the president might
be struck with revelation, too,
and cause him, when writing up a
Thanksgiving proclamation, to be a
little more definite in designating
whom he means by a prosperous
people. President Harrison says 'no
other country surpasses us IN the
business capacity of its capitalists.
Yes, the business they have been at
for the last twenty-five years (rob-
bing the people) has made them
prosperous, and the people bank
rupts and slaves. Fine business
capitalists, indeed! Now let us
look for moment at
CIVILIZATIONS SLAVERY.
Can it be so? From time to time
we have read startling figures CON
cerhing the oppression of the poor
in the large cities. The labor sta
tistics published show that vast
number of people are compelled to
work for wages that are nothing
less than criminal for their small
ness. Women and children are
employed to do work beyond
their strength; the health of the
employees is not considered in the
heating and ventilation of the
buildings, and there is little thought
on the part of many as to the com
tort of those in their service. The
straits of many are so great that

Coz. JESSE HARPER made talk be-
fore the national executive commit
tee at indianapolis. He said: "Be-
fore the wal, we had pro-slavery men
in both old parties. The war was
brought on by the anti-slavery men
in both parties uniting in new par
ty, which caused the pro-slavery men
in both old parties to unite. Now we
have the pro-monopoly men in both
old parties, and the anti-monoply
men in both parties. If we can unite
the anti-monopoly forces in a new
party, we will drive the monopoly
forces together, and that is just
where we want them. '-Industrial
