The democrats had no part in the Bailenger-Plnchot Imbroglio The Mgta coat of living cannot be laid to injudicious democratic leg! viatic® The republicans have been in full control of the government for fifteen years. The maximum and minimum clause of the tariff law Is no fault of the democrats. In a word the repuoiicaa party is now wrestling with its own sins of omission and commission—which is commendable discipline peculiarly appropriate to the lenten season. “The results of these investigations are presumably to be made public by the committees which have them in charge. Theoretically the country will know, when the work is completed, Just what the trouble, and consequently the remedy it will be necessary to apply for relief. But those who hare watched congressional investigations heretofore do not fee! entire confidence of receiving any great fiood of light. • • • All in all, the republicans in investigating their own record find themselves in ar. extremely uncomforable position. The difficulty of bringing in convincing reports would seem almost unsurmoantable to anybody except such Investigators who have had long and successful practice—many of them —In not finding out what they do not want to know.” FOR SALE—Organ In good shape.
