The country knows nothing about Walter
Christmas. who makes charges of bribery
against members of Congress and the press
in connection with the sale of the Danish
West Indies to the United States, but the
matter calls for prompt and thorough in
vestigation. Although the charges and the
alleged secret report by Christmas 10 the
Danish government have very much the ap-
pearance of a sensational scandal. the
speaker of the House was right in hold
ing Mr.. Richardson's resolution one of high
privilege and in appointing a committee to
investigate the matter.

Grand Army posts have sent resolutions
90 the President approving his vetoes of
bills pardoning deserters. Nearly forty
years after the war it is not remorse or the
sense Of disgrace which leads deserters TO
ask TO be relieved Of the odium of the
offense. but the hope Of a pension. Unless
Congress is willing that the sense of dis
grace attending desertion shall be removed.
very few deserters during the war of the
Union will be pardoned.

Portland. Me-, Sept. s.-The general
State election in Maine, today, was
marked by good weather, quietude at
the polls, and an uncommonly large
number of irregular ballots. The lat.
ter. was the leading feature of the day.
Neyer before in the history of the Aus
tralian ballot system in Maine has so
much cutting been done.
In at least four of the big counties
of the State-Cumberland. Androscog-
gin. York and Hancock-there We're
contests for the sheriff election based
on local differences relative to the en-
forcement of the prohibitory law. but
in other sections there was little to
bring out full party vote.
Early returns indicated that whil,
the voting was heavy in the sections
where there were contests. in the Stale
in general there was falling off OF
about Is per cent. in the vote Of both
of the old parties.

A RIOTOUS DEMONSTRATION,
A. a Farewell Meeting to Johann Most
Detectives, In Making Arrests, Excite
tho Crowds AnimOslty.

New York, May 5.-Five thousand
persons gathered in Broom street
hall last night to say farewell to Jo-
ham Most, the anarchist. Herr Most
is booked to go to Jail to-day under
sentence for having printed in his pa
per an article on murder. Last
nights meeting was turned into a
riotous demonstration against the
police. Three city detectives had
been attracted to the hall by loud
cries and cheering. They went in at
time when Mr.. Mcqueen, editor OF
paper, was addressing the crowd,
assailing the government and declar-
ing himself an anarchist. By the
time the officers had reached the
platform Most was addressing the
crowd in German. The detectives
placed the two speakers under ar
rest.
This was the signal for a riotous
outbreak. The detectives had to
fight their way to the street with
their prisoners and the crowd then
grew so threatening that the re-
serves were called out. After some
difficulty Most, Mcqueen and one
other man were taken to police sta
ton and locked up.
