GET AT THE TRUTH.

The public must not imagine that the
society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Children has any desire to injure the
standing Of st. Michael's Day Nursery.
Il is but the recipient and investigator
of certain charges which have been
preferred against those who are in ac-
tive and immediate management Of the
institution. It's work will be done thor
oughly and impartially, and upon the
result Of the Investigation the charac-
ter Of its future action will depend
We are pleased to note that the
board of managers of the nursery is
equally determined to sift the matter
to the bottom, but we think that II
would have been better to have waited
until after the investigation before Civ
ing the attendants a vote of confidence.
When an emergency OF this sort con
fconte the managers of a place Of this
kind il is always safe and polite fol
them to throw open the doors, invite
Investigation and give all possible as
sistance looking to the establishment
6f the truth. 1t is better that the guilty
should be exposed and punished thar
that an institution. founded on sucf
henehcent purposes. be lost to the com

Constable William p Windish is not
a vicious man, and we hope that the
good people Of our neighboring county
of Cecil will not entertain the idea that
he is and become prejudiced against

spent most OF his life and is best
known, he is deservedly popular. The
feeling of regret that he should have
been so unfortunate as to involuntarily
shoot and kill a man is general in this

the legal proceedings which must nee
essarily follow will be marked by per-
feet fairness to the prisoner and a due
regard for the mitigating circum-
