DISGRACE  OF  SECT  BELKNAP. 
TriK  CongretiHlonal  t’omnilUeo  on  IC.\pendltures 
or  the  \V.nr  Department,  whlrdi  usually  consldei-s 
its  duties  or  the  slightest  public  Importance,  has 
this  y(;ar  sol.  to  work  most  earnestly.  I'ho  result 
Is  all  astounding  reeord  of  corruption  In  a  quarter 
where  le.ast.  expmtted.  M r.  Belknap,  the  Secretary 
01  War,  has  been  louud  guillci'  of  selling  the  post 
tnidershlps  at  Fort  Sill,  for  which  (’/o.fMM)  was  paid, 
partnn  receiving  the  position  and  the  rcinHlnder 
In  annual  payments  of  (ti.ooo  per  .vear  made  to  the 
■Seci’etary's  wife,  with  whom  the  arrangement  was 
made  and  t  hrough  whose  Inilueiiee  ihe  posll.lon 
was  obuilncd.  The  clleet  of  t  he.se  disclosures  was 
most  a.slonishlag.  Sec’y  Belknap  broke  down 
completclj,  confessiid  Ids  shame,  and  only  a.sked, 
but  in  vain,  that  his  wife  sliould  bo  spared  the 
mortUicalion  ot  having  the  tads  mude  public.  As 
soon  as  he  knew  that  the  Committee  had  the  evi¬ 
dence  In  ll«  posses.slon,  See*y  Belknap  went  to  the 
President  and  tendered  IdsreKlgnallon,  Avldeh  was 
promptiy  aecepUHl.  Mr.  Clj'mer,  Sof:’y  of  the 
Committee,  read  Its  report  to  tho  House  Mai’ch 
2d,  and  in  conchislou  moved  tlml  See’y  Belknap 
be  Imppa-.died  W'hleh,  after  faint,  opposition,  wius 
unanimously  voted.  The  luvestlgailng  Coniiidl- 
tce  WiiscotisLltuted  a  Committee  to  prepare  formal 
articles  of  fnipcacliinent  .■Jiid  present  them  belore 
the  senate  formal.  Some  question  artaea  whetlier 
the  uceepianceor  the  resignation  will  forcKtall 
Impeachment,  but  the  geneial  and  probably  well 
founded  bcllct  Is  that  it  eanuoU  ImpeaclunenL 
Involves  not  only  removal  from  oniec.  hut  dls- 
quaUUcatlon  tor  holding  any'  po.slt.lon  of  honor  or 
trust  under  the  L’nJtod  States  Government.  This 
after  penalty  of  his  orliiie  the  .Secretary  has  yet  to 
receive. 
During  his  residence  in  Washington  .Sec’y  Bel¬ 
knap  and  lanilly  liave  lived  in  a  style  far  more 
expensive  than  was  warranted  by  his  salary— 
.$s,i)00  a  year.  Love  of  display  and  extra  va.gance. 
shared  both  by  the  Secretary  and  his  w  Ife  is  un¬ 
doubtedly  largely  responsible  for  his  fall.  Let  us 
hope  that  tlie  disgrace  it  involves  will  teach  a  les¬ 
son  widely  needed  and  w'hlch  cannot  be  too  closely 
lieodcd. 
DESTRUCTIVE  TORNADO

more  than  a  year  past  occasionally  breaks  out  In 
freaks  of  unusual  icmpeblual  violence,  causing 
floods  and  tornadoes.  Ttvo  of  tliese  latter  are  re¬ 
ported  from  the  West,  both  occurrlug  on  Feb,  2T. 
The  nrsl  Is  located  In  and  uenr  Princeton,  ind.,

stroyed  property  whose  value.  Is  estimated  at  from 
to  $150, niw.  Numerou-s  farms,  with  their 
buildings,  llirouglit  the  county,  have  also  been 
destroyed,  so  that  the  whole  loss  In  the  county 
will  prohably  reach  a  quarter  mllUon  dollars.  The 
following  persons  were  Injured:— Mrs,  Wm.  Clark, 
seriously;  Jame.s  S,  Taylor,  Internally;  Mrs,  K. 
Torncr,  one  eye  lost;  Miss  Kendle,  limb  broken; 
Busan  Blanchard,  hip  bone  hurt..  In  some  places 
the  houses  were  carried  lOO  yards  fi’om  their 
fouDdatlon.s.  In  One  Instance  a  horse  was  discov¬ 
ered  in  a  cellar,  whUher  the  tornado  hod  earned 
him  from  a  stable  llfty  yards  away.  James  Les¬ 
lie,  an  old  man,  who  Is  a  full  cousin  of  ex-Presl- 
dent  Jackson,  was  in  his  bed  In  the  second  stoi-y 
of  his  large  brick  residence,  when  the  wind  struck 
the  house  and  tore  out  the  ends,  carrjing  him.
