Of Ill.,; Foster, OF Mich. Hoar, Of Mase.; Roos-

will the Lansing Republican [organ OF tho
State Administration in Mchigan) explain what
steps, it any, have been takon to probe [not
whitawash] the frauds in the Michigan State
Land Office, to punish the offenders, to correct
the evil done, and to mako such frauds danger
GUS to the individual perpetrator BY present e2-
ample; and whether, In point Of fact, anything
has been done except to order supply Of white:
wash, and to bat on the head few Democrats
(traitors) who dared to call for investigation
without wlitewash. And, furthermore will it
help matters any now to discuss the conundrum
which tho Republican pits, viz:
When were tho Democracy ever known to follow mp
otacia1 sw1ndlers Of their own party?
Tho DesMoines Register (organ OF the State
Administration in Iowa. is reused to wrath be-
cause Of the $4,000 steal in the Iowa State
Agricultural College fund; not that Rankin, the
thief, goes unwhipped Of Justice, but that wick
ed Democrats should point and jeer.@ At one Of
these wicked men the Register hings this brick:
Mr Irish might much better have proposed that the
money should 60 to Eeplsse IN Pa7t The 1920 or
friend and fellow Democrat, James D. Eads, ex-super-
intendapt Of Public Instruction.
This is an extinguisher. Rankin Republican)
should have stolen $50, 900 or 800, 900 and bal
anced accounts.
The Minnesota Senate was to have met,
about this time, to put the seal Of official con-
demnation upon certain State Treasury practices
which could not be covered up by the Legiala-
ture. But the party managers have done, since
the adjournment, what the Legislature ordered
not to be done, and the Senate will not meet, or
will meet only to dsperse. Tho real culprits are
too influential and eminently respectable to be
punished and, beaides, they have found scape-
goat.
II ne cannot havo the nations business
placed upon par, in point Of safety, with that
Of thrifty corporations, then We may expect that
public robbery and political usurpations will be
Continued, and the curtain must in time drop
upon the wild and " roaring farce Of irTespon-
sible md unbuaness-liko republican institutions.
