shipments will be long delayed. It is their opin. it

A ..AME AND A DISGRACE.
Tile Manner in Whleh tihe Engravimt
3 Ireau HMa Been Carried On.
([incinnati Enquirer.]
WASHINOTON. May l.--8ome days ago
John Sherman appointed a committee
to investigate the working of the Bu
reau of Engraving and Printing of the
Treeury Department. The committee
examined witnesses under oath, and
took the testimony of a large number
of the employee of the bureau. The
outcome of the inquiry was the dismissal
of Jewell, the chief of the bureau, and
I the appointment of McPherson. This
dismissal Implied that Jewell was turned
out for cause, and pressure has been
brought to bear on Sherman to give out
the report of the committee which made
the investigation. Yesterday he gave
out an extract from it, merely reciting
why the force in the bureau was re
duced; but he withheld for reasons not
satisfactorily explained, the more im
portant details. If rumor be true, the
committee paint Jewell, the ex-chief, as
a monster of hideous mein.
It is alleged that the testimnonyof some
of the female employes was to the effect
that they were appointed, not because
their services to the government was an
object, but either because they had
yielded to the sensual appetite of the
head of the bureau, or were the objects
of his designs. The testimony tends to
show that the government had been sup
porting a harem for the use of Jewell
and such friends as he saw fit to invite
to share with him its benefits. Sherman
is said to Le so much surprised at the
evidence adduced that he is inclined to
keep it from the public if he can. His
course is denounced by some, who inti
mate that he is trying to shield some of
the platonic shortcomings of the late
Assistant Secretary Conant, and one or
two heads of Divisions of the Treasury
who still retain their places. In taking
this course he is doing an injustice to
such estimable women as are in the
department and they are quite indig
nant that they should be open to sus
picion; for while the report of the com
mitte is kept quiet, they feel that the
good suaer with the bad, especially from
the shafts of scandal hurled at them by
innuendo, at least from the gossips. If
the Treasury has been run as a bagnio
John Sherman has no right to shield
those who patronized it, no matter how
highly plumed may be the birds who
will flutter.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ASHED
TO HELP THESE EMIIGRANTs.
[Courier Journa.]
Pennsylvania designs sending out of
her limits the lawless population of the
mining regions, or the surplus thereof,
not needed for actual service in the
mines. Hon. Hendrick B. Wright, of
the Luzerne District, is going to try to
secure government aid when Congress
meets, to enable a large number of
these people to "go West." The bill
which he proposes to introduc provides
that the government shall furnish
teams, implements and money to the
emigrants, to enable them to settle on
farms.
This enterprise will cost about $5,000,
000. No such special legislation is likely
to receive the attention of Congress. If
the government goes into the business
of settling up paupers as farmers and
furnishing everything, it will soon have
its hands full. There are thousands of
men besides the Pennsylvania miners
who would like very much to be given
such a "lift" In life. If such a measure
was to pass' Congress, the government
would next be required to enter upon a
vast system of public works for the ben
efit of the unemployed. If the State of
Pennsylvania wants to get rid of her
unemployed population, she should
raise the money herself and purchase
lands for them in New Mexico and else
where.
Wearlng of the Green.
Under the viceroyalty of the Duke of
Marlborough, Ireland is getting too
much of the wearing of the green. At
the banquet of the Lord Mayor of Dub
lin, on Saturday night, the viceroy was
present with the Duke of Connaught,
all green from crown to toe. The duch
ess and the ladies of her court wear
dresses of green Irish poplin or silk and
green bonnets and parasols. At some
recent races the Duke of Connaught ap
peared with his drags, the grooms
decked out in green breast-knots. All
the English are full of what the Herald
calls mild Irishisms. If the mummery
