Speaker Blaine has appointed Messfe
George +. ROar OF Massach usetts, Wheels
Of New York, Frye Of Maine, Foster o
Ohio, Phelps Of New Jersey, Robinson o
illinois and Potter of New York as selec,
committee to investigate the affairs o
Louisiana and the condition Of things in tn,
Southern States.
This is q strong and weighty committee
1t has indepence, character and ability. !,
is made up of men in whose honesty, fair
ness and juddment the country has conf
dence. Mr. Hoar is emphatically q mar
with . mind Of his own. Mr.. William A.
Wheeler is one ct the sOundest and truest
men in Congress. Mr.. Frye is above the
average. Mr.. Foster is the plucky little
fellow who fought Butler and Sanborn. Mr.
Phelps is rather precoci0us and ambitious,
and has the habit of writing his name Viii.
liam Walter; hut he is certainly given to
plain speaking and will cover up no wrongs.
Mr.. Clarkson Potter is an able and fair rep,
resentative Of the minority. Mr.. Robinson,
the other minority member, is the least
known of the lot, and the only one about
whom there can be doubt. The conclusion
Of such body, based upon searching
examination, must be respected and
accepted. If the country can not trust such
men, it can't trust anybody.
Now, then, with 90 excellent q committee,
IoI us got W tuo DOCtOu VI tnlS BUSINESS anu
bring ont the whole truth. What ia the
real state of the case in louisiana What
are the real facts about the Southern out
RACES! What is the real temper of the
Southern people What is the real nature
of the situation and what the true remedy
to he applied? We have CROPPED long
enough amid contradictions and confusion
and uncertainty. There have been some
commanding facts which clear.headed OBJ
servers, capable of just discrimination, have
accepted as significant OF general tenden-
cies. But at the same time there has been
such a din of misrepresentation, such a
clangor Of contradiction, that the country
has scarcely known what to believe or
whether to credit it's own senses; What it
wants is to get behind this cloud Of bewil-
derment and down to the hard pan of facte.
A statement to which Messrs. HOar, Wheeler
and their colleagues will put their names
will carry the confidence of the people.
We hope, therefore, that this committee
will take hold of the question in thorough
and give US the truth. wherever it
may point or whatever side it may tend to
help. The matter is too grave to be treated
as mere shibboleth of partisanship. 1t
presents profound problem, vitality affect
ing the prosperity and we'll being of the
country. What ought to be done in the
Louisiana business9 What are the general
relations of the two races. What are the
facts about the reported outrages, and how
far do they reflect the general temper! In
a word, what is the truth about the South
ern question and what action does it re-
luire! Ii the committee will examine and
review this subject in a candid, dispassion-
onate and statesmanlike spirit, it will rem.
