WHITEWASH,

WHlTEWASH
The latest development in the district matter
is a political conspiracy of very prominent Re-
publieans to break down the purpose of theiin-
vestigating committee to avoid whitewash and
call things by their right names in their report
The matter has gone so far as to have invita-
tons extended to the Republican members of
the committee to meet and consult with per-
sons outside OF the committee and who have no
right to attempt its control. The names to this
conspiracy are promised, and if printed will
place some very prominent gentlemen IN the
most unenviable light. The main objects are to
save Shepherd for the head of the new govern
ment, and to prevent the books and papers of
board from falling into the hands of thorough
auditing committee for fear of the develops

COMPULSORY PILoTAGE
The House Committee on Commerce gave
hearing Wednesday, on the bill abolishing
compulsory pilotage as amended and passed by
the Senate There was a respectable delega-
ton OF pilots present, representing Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk
also special delegation of He'll Gate pilots
Mr.. Hale OF Maine appeared before the COM
mittee advocating the bill and urging their en-
dorsement in its favor. Messrs Phelps of
New Jersey ana Cox of New York were also
present and opposed the bill as an injustice to
the pilots and a dangerous experime mt with a
subject of such i'm portance to the commercial
worl d, and which involved the protection of
life and property. Messrs. Quincy and Har-
binson, pilots from Boston and New York adj
dressed the committee, defending their respec-
tive systems of pilotage as being equitable in
their bearings upon commerce. The allotted
time having expired, the hearing was adjourn
ed until Thursday at 10 O'clock to give further
opportunity to those of the pilots who wish to
Congress should not interfere with this impor-
tant branch of the commercial marine, at least
until full investigation can be made of the
systems OF pilotage inaugurated by the several
States, which date back nearly century, and
which have been improved to meet the demands
OF the increasing commerce of the country.

WASHINGTON correspondent of the New
York Tribune charges that Commissioner
Baker of the Pension Bureau has used his in
fuence to secure such amendments to the
pension laws as will make them illibera, and
to do this, has resorted to improper means.
1t is also charged that his decisions have con-
stantly been against the pensioner, and sew
eral classes of cases are cited to sustain the
allegation. The fact that the writer does
not give his name detracts from the impor-
lance we would naturally attach to an article
of that character.

CONNECTICUT has Democratic legislature
pledged to reform and to do all things better
than well. Connecticut is not large state
and has SO far got its growth that no increase
of its judiciary would appear to be necessary.
1t seemed otherwise to the Democrats who
desired for some purpose TO secure majority
of the Superior Court by increasing the num-
Der of Judges so as to have majority of the
Democratic faith and provide places for the
faithful. The leaders made the arrangement
and undertook to force the measure through
by the aid of the caucus, thus practically at
tempting to empower a majority of the Dem
ocrats in the legislature but minority of
the whole body to perform the legislative
functions The scheme would have succeed
ed but for the efforts of one senator and the
delay Of week which gave the people
chance to be heard. This is the sort of re :
form that the Democracy offer us.

THE Senate is spending great deal of
time in discussing Mr.. WINDOWS grand
water transportation schemes. The coun try
has had one Credit Mobiier and it is too
early to sow the seed for score of such cor
rupt organizations. When the government
has made ample provision for the education
OF the people, paid the national debt and has
surplus, it will be ample time to discuss
railroads and canals which will cost half
billion of money.
