The Era Of Investigation

r,oo . enact encouragement to be derived
49,, o,,o,,+s that are now taking place. in all
norts of the country. The era OF lnvestlga-
ton and of the punishment of persons found
guilty of unfaithfulness and crime in the per-
formance of public duties must be followed
by an era of honesty. The experience of pub
lie men begins to show them that there is no
comfort or even safety in anything but IN
tegrity. The record of the last two years is
astonishing, as a very brief resume will show
Only few months ago New York city was
In the hands of the most powerful ana most
corrupt ring ever organized in this or any
other country. To-day Mayor Hall is on
trial for crime. Tweed has been indicted,
prosecuted and harrassed bynumberless suits,
so that he did not even dare. to present MN
self at Albany to take his seat as Senator.
Flight or Sing-Sing is apparently the alterna-
tive presented to him. Connolly has been In
iai, has lost his office and is now, we believe,
a fugitive. In short, the Tammany ring,
which but yesterday was almost omnipotent,
and was stretching out its hands toward the
national government, is so broken and crush
ed that there is hardly sixth ward politician
left to do it reverence. -..tE eI
The overthrow of the Erie ring is hardly
less matter for congratulation. The pres
ent week has seen the end of combination
that in 1869 stole one of the great
railroad lines of the country, bought Legis-
lature to legalize the theft, and some judges to
to affirm the rings DEGREES. Fisk is now
dead. Jay Gould was on Monday supplanted
as President by Gen. Dix. There is new
board of directors, and the Erie road is in 8
fair way to revert to its legal owners. Mean
while the Legislature is passing an act tore
peal the famous ''Erie directors classification
act" passed by the Legislature of 1869, which
made it so extremely difficult to wrest power
from the hands of Gould, Fish and Eldridge.
The corrupt judges, Barnard and Cardozo,
whose connection with Tammany and Erie
has been SO notorious, are also in a fair way
to be punished, the Republican Legislature
having also taken their case in hand. s59.
The triad and condemnation of ex-C Congress
man Stokes for frauds in the collection Of
pensions is another decided triumph of JUS
tice over man of influence and high official
position. iaF.' 1881 .J .-.-r
The expulsion of Whittemore from Congress
and the impeachment of a surprising number
of State officials for malfeasance in Office are
still further evidences of an awakened public
conscience ~
. Finally the large plumber of investigations
ordered by the present Congress shows that
even the incumbents of the highest official
position cannot escape the scrutiny that fol-
lows even the suspicion of wrong-doing.

THE result of the New Hampshire elections
has had a very perceptible effect on the New
York Tribune. The great influence of that
paper has been exerted throughout the can
Vass in favor of the opposition, but now that
Its efforts have been unavailing we find it in
stinctively falling into its old congratulatory
style oftreating Republican victory. In the
same issue it very forcibly reminds the World
which has argued from the ten investigations
set on foot by Congress that the administra-
ton is corrupt beyond all precedent, that it is
not what is charged but what is proved that
damages the party defendant. 1t adds: 'tAny
one may be accused of the most heinous Of
lenses; the Saviour of mankind was not only
arraigned but convicted; but what of it?
Facts alone are decisive If the friends of
the Administration propose to save it by inves-
tigating, they act wisely. Trying to. save an
Administration by suppressing and refusing
investigation, or by confiding it to commit
tees organized to acquit, is suicidal.
