to that end should, of course; be
conducted carefully and jadicially,
and due weight should be given to
all available evidence, records and

both parties.
In order that such an examina-

rough and satisfactory manner, l
suggest that the congress make an
adequate appropriation for the ex-
penses of a commission to be ap-
pointed by the executive, who shall
make the necessary Investigation

the possible delay. When such a

PER.JURED BONDSNEN.

The wholesale revelations Of straw bonds"
made this week by the Excise Commissioners
are among the most shocking In the whole cxhb-
ton Of Tammany misgovcrnment No possible
point Of view affords any palliation Of them.
Either the old Commissioners knew what was
being done or they did not know. IT they did
not know. II It was possible for n man to go on
more than a hundred different bonds without
their knowledge. 1t would De fulsome fattcry to
call them fools. Such ignorance Of their own
business IL incxcusiblc. IT, on the other hand.
they did know 1t was their duty To look into such
cases, AMI ascertain whether the bondsmen were
as responsible as they profcssed to be. We can
not imagine bank or business house OF any
kind accepting one mans Endorsement on hun
drcd notes for $1,000 each without looking pretty
closely into his standing. II the Commissioners
failed to do go they were guilty OF scandaous
disregard Of public welfare and official duty.
But II they did know how many bonds these
men were signing. and did investigate their
financial responsibility, then only one conclusion
IL to b. drawn. That is that they winked at
perjury. and that they were, for pecuniary or
political considerations, accessories to OF the
most dangerous crimes that can be committed
against the State.
These straw bondsmen committed perjury.

THE MISSION or NASRULLA KHAN.

The Shah Zada has amply served one purpose
He has furnished novel spectacle to the gaping
crowds Of London. incidentally he has also
made himself dreadful nuisance 10 his royal
and official entertainers. The Persian Shah
was bad enough in his uncean boorshness. At
Her Majestys table he threw upon the floor
dishes and all. such food as was not To his taste
But the young Afghan has surpassed NAsr-cd
Deem in such respects. His swinishncss his
stubbornncss and his lack Of appreciation Of the
attentions paid to him are without precedent
A more dlsagreeabe guest the British Court has
never had. When he betakes himself back 10
Cabul there will be feeling OF relief In every
mind from the Queen herself TO the humblcst
servant in her palaces.
There is another and more important purpose
however to bc served. The British and Indian
Governments have not gone to all the expense Of
conveying Nasrulla Khan to England and back
again, and Of entertaining him and his unwashed
followers In lavish style, merely that he may
have good time or that the English people may
see what sort Of a fellow he Is. Not bit Of It,

business Of the most welghty character. One ny
