A COMMITTEE went out today to inves
tigate serious charges against Che Super.
intendent of the County Poor.house.
We know nothing about the affair, but
would advise the committee to ~iavesti :
gate and to report. The people demand
facts and not evasions. We are not pre-
pared, like a morning contemporary, to
say, as it does 10 its local columns, that
" the investigation will result in the hon
orable aequittal OF Mr., Beatty from any
charge that Mrs. Rsiney has preferred,
because the committee did not favor us
with such information in advance. If
the committee had made up its report
and verdict as early as last evening the
trip out there to-day is worse than folly.
We presume, however, that whitewash-
ing is not the object of the committee,
and that the report will be made after
the investigation instead of before.
