INDIANAPOLIS, May 23.-Mr. Lucius
B. Swift and Dudley Foulk of the
Indiana civil service league, Missouri,
spent two days investigating the Terre
Haute postoffice n,uddie, have sent re-
port to Postmaster General Bissell and
President Cleveland. They say that
the facts presented in the report of the
action of the appointee, Mr.. Denham,
is illegal and in violation of the civil
service law, and that he has attempted
to reorganize the Office with partisan
force of employees. They recommend
the removal of Postmaster Denham and
the appointment of one who will be
fair and earnest in his endeavors to up
hold the civil service law, which, they
say, is on trial in the Terre Haute case

tracing his political geneaology in order
to account for his evident procliVities
towards sristocracy and his devotion to
wealth and millionairism. And I find
that he is acting in perfect consistency
with and is proving perfectly faithful to
his early teachings and education. And
this is in pursuance Of the ancient plsti-
tudes that "the leopard can't change his
spots" and that "whst is born in the
bone can't be got out Of the flesh"
Cleveland's ancestry were OF the old
federal school intensified by its minis
teriRl character and profession. For the
old Presbyterian ministry OF New En-
gland were Of the most ultra devotees Of
governmental suthOrity--holding the
democratic doctrine Of the minimum Of
government power and authority in
utter contempt, and demanding the stern
regulation Of everything human, in the
name Of the law. When to this was
added the prestige Of Thomas Jefferson
as the representative and champion Of
democratic institutions in the country,
the measure of their hatred and detest-
alton was full and they boiled over with
rage at everything democratic, 30 that
at the election of 1900 the pulpit be-
came political rostrum for the Vituper-
alton and abuse of the illustrious cgndi-
date, and they have never forgiven him
and his party to this day and never
will.
Let the reader recall the illibersl and
proscriptive sentiments enunciated by
the reverend gentleman put forward by
his brethren Of the cloth to convey their
greetings to James G. Blaine on his en-
trance into New York few days before
the election Of 1884, and which defeated
him by overshooting the mark. The
almost exclusive association of the min
istry with the rich from whom they de-
rive their sustensnce and support and
their education, elevRtlng them above
ordinary mortals, are barriers to their
association and sympathy with the poor
and illiterate whom Jefferson declared
this government was established espe-
cislly to protect. Theirs is the federal
doctrine (so frequently enuncisted in the
early days Of our existence) shat it is
the duty Of government to take care OF
the rich, and the rich will take care Of
the poor" The wolves take care Of the
sheep, forsooth, or the hawks the chick
ems.
Well, of such was Grover Cleveland;
or rather from such he descended. A
long line Of ministerial ancestors pre-
ceded his birth-eRch bluer and bluer in
it's hatred of liberal institutions and it's
devotion to the dogmss OF plutocracy
and power. And when he sailed forth
into the world he fell under the influence
of his Uncle Allen, of Grand Island,
near Buffalo, who was q scion Of the
same stock and an aggressive politician
Of the Wing school-the legitimate sue
cessor Of federalism which had gone to
its grave. And since then Sll his Rssoci-
stions and intimacies have been in the
same line, tho pretending to democracy

Senator shsrmsn,s Admissions.

EDITOR ADvooATE:-In late speech
of Senator Sherman in the senate, some
admissions Of vital Importance are made
touching the alleged completely Of
Ernest Seyd in the demonstration Of
silver in 1873.
Mr.. Sherman, in attempting to refute
the charge that congress- had been COR
rupted by Mr.. Seyd's use ~of English
money in that year, admitted that after
the bill demonetizing SILVER "hsd had
the scrutiny Of American metallists,
Mr.. Hooper, who had the bill in charge,
not being satisfied with that scrutiny,
wrote to Mr.. Ssyd, q London banker, to
get his views thereon" Then Mr.. Sher-
man adds that he (Shermsn) had in his
possession Mr.. Seyd's reply criticising
the bill. He then says, "whether Mr..
Ssyd was in Washington or not I do not
know. He probably was; and il 80, it
was at Mr.. Hooper's invitation, and sub
sequently to his (Seyd's) letter to Mr..
Hooper, and prior to the final passage
Of the BILL" Are not these admissions
by Mr.. Sherman Of vital Importance in
establishing the fact Of the intervention
Of the English money power in shaping
the destructive financial legislation OF
this country While these admissions
do not show that there was any money
used to corrupt congress, they do most
clearly prove the more important fact
claimed by Populiste, viz: that repub-
licsn congress did secure the hand Of a
London banker in the final shaping Of
the bill which destroyed more than half
the metallic money Of the United States.
The writer has given some attention
to the financial character and relations
Of this "London banker" and the fact
is plain that II, in 1873, Mr.. Seyd's bank
was not a branch of the great Rothschild
institution which shapes and controls
the finances Of Great Britain and her
dependencies, it was at least in perfect
accord Herewith.
Here then we are confronted with the
monstrous spectacle OF the congress OF
the United States Of America, virtually
turning over the most important legis-
lation Of our country to the dictstion
not only Of foreign power, but that
particular power that hRs, from the very
earliest days Of our colonial existence
down to the present time, used her
whole military resources, and all her
strategetic skill, to cripple and destroy
the American republic! In the same
speech quoted from, Mr. Sherman askE
why We should pursue Englishmen with
such suspicion and hstredP "Are they
not our brothersS" II Mr.. Sherman
had been engaged in q theological dis
cussion, this question would have been
pertinent, and Of force; but in view ol
the very important and fundamental
antsgonisms Of the two forms Of govern
ment-in view Of the fact that GresI
Britain has ever sought to discourage
and overthrow all popular forms Of gov
ernment-why should we, under cover
Of the divine prscept Of the brotherhood
Of man, permit those who seek the uttel
subversion Of the fundamental principles
Of fraternity, and q frAternsl form o.
government, to aid in q secret manner

to the fact. John Sherman, months
ago, foretold the trouble Cleveland would
give his party, and said that he would
prove greater thorn in their flesh than
in that Of their opponents. And Sher-
man knew his man from intimate
personal acquaintance. The same
as in the case of President Hayes. He
knows that his political theories were de-
rived from Wall street, and all Rnti-dem-
ocrstic, and that he regarded the few
thousand engaged in trade and traffic
and much more, those engaged in bank
ing and money manipulation as Of in
fnitely more consequence, and more to
be regarded and consulted than the Co.
100000 of people employed in the pro-
duCtive industries Of the country. 1t is
q very common weakness of statesmen to
magnify the millionaire and dspreciste
the million. And this devotion to the
former for twenty-five years past &C.
counts for the present condition Of the
country, and the broad and deep gulf
that separates the mass of our people
from the select few who have feathered
their nests and who fare sumptuously
every day by the favors of government
dispensed SO literally in their behalf.
And, true to his sntecedents, Cleve-
land dare not move peg without the
assent and approval Of his masters, the
banks and the moneyed interests Of Wall
street.. Is that JacksoniBn and demo
crRticP Those who remember Jaokson's
war with the monster, which contested
the mastery of the country with him, will
answer, "Not By a long SOays." Every sd-
ministrstion has come to fear the banks
and dread their power. They know but
too well their power for evil, how they
may precipitate money panic upon the
country whenever they see fit, and thus
complicste matters and possibly wreck
the administration. The late proclama-
tion OF 100 bankers Of Boston to the
United States senate intimRtes THE, and
the New York Tribune OF five years ago
announced authoritstively that the ma.
tional banks were now so organized that
they could act independently Of con-
gress or the government, that is, were in
dependent, if not above and beyond the
authority Of both. "Hsve we, then, q
power behind the throne bigger than the
throne itselfF" as was asked by an En-
glishmRn in parliament over century
ago. If 80, the country ought to know
it; to know who they owe allegiance to,
and whose authority they are bound to
respect.
Again, Cleveland is very solicitous with
respect to the attitude Of England as to
our currency, and refuses to act on the
subject without her acquiescence. just
so Alexander Hamilton paid Difference to
British power and British institutions at
the organization of our government He
was an Englishman born, and therefore
there was some consistency in his action.
But grand old Sam Adams, DR.. Franklin
and the genius Of American democracy
sat down very heavy on the Hsmiltonisn
program, and it has remained for our
day to revive the idea Of consulting Eng
land in the premises, and even going so
far as to refuse to act without her per-
mission. And all this (God spare US the
morti6cation) at the hands of that same
