END OF THE SAN DOMINGO STRUGGLE.
The opponents of the San Domingo project
may now see their fatal mistake. Intending
only to oppose annexation, they really arrayed
themselves against an investigation of the
reasons for or against annexation. What they
wanted was to show why we should not take
San Domingo,-what they did was to oppose
an impartial inquiry into the facts indicating
whether we should OF should not take it. They
sought to defeat mistaken policy but they
put themselves in the attitude of refusing to
see whether it was mistaken. Of course they
met with the predestined and inevitable defeat
The Senate has again passed its original
resolution for Commission of Inquiry to
visit the island, with the House amendment,
stipulating that this shall in no way commit
Congress to annexation; and already We have
the semi official announcement that ex-senator
BENZ. F. Wade, Bishop Simpson, and Mr.. VIM.
E. Dodge are to be the Commissioners.
The country will receive this ending of The
angry struggle with perfect satisfaction The
Commissioners are sure to command universal
confidence, and there can be no possible objec-
ton to the inquiry they are charged to make.
If opposition to the project of annexation
is to be made, it must be upon the facts, not
before and without the facts. Mr.. Sumner and
his. followers, after the Commission reports,
will have perfect right, if their judgment
then points out such a course as the path of
duty, to do what they may to defeat the pro-
posed annexation; but their opposition thus
far has been mistimed. Hear the evidence
then, no longer in the dark, strike, if you
must!
Meanwhile the ideas suggested yesterday by
Mr.. Schurz, and previously limited by Mr..
Sumner, concerning the tendency of the Ie-
groes to the West Indies and the ultimate
probability of a negro confederation there,
viii command the thoughtful consideration of
statesmen. We do not include in that category
the superserviceable bIawlors who not long
ago made a night in the Senate chamber
hideOus by brutal attacks upon a member who
chose to do his duty as he understood it. 1t
was not by such follies that the Republican
party was built up; nor is its continued
power to be assumed without their repudia-
ton. We hold the present action of the SEN
ate precisely right ; we regard the amendment
of the House as wise and needful cOnces-
sion and we hope to see the result accepted
as an end of strife.
