was ignorant as TO ae ial navigation. He,

There is sense as well as sarcasm IN Tue
Chicago T,7bune's comments on the talk OF
hayinS congressional investigation into the

IA regards o congressional Investigation,
we can tell young Mr.. POtter5ust what tnal
will amount to, which may be information
to him in view of his limited political expe-
r;ence. Congress will appoint committee
If seven: it always does. The committee OF
seven will be made up Of ave Democratic
sh,rns and two Republican flats, selected
nv a Democratic Speaker. Five Democrats
win be selected who huze nothing. OUT
the "good" of the party at heart; TWO
Renublicaps will be chosen who cannot see
through grind>tone with hole in the CEN
ire if such can be found in Congress-. Inc
seven will come out TO Chicago and sum-
mon witnesses. all at Government expense.
They will then spend mouth or so in taking
testimony. which will be written out by
shorthand reporters and printed in volume
ahout The size of Webster's uuabrdged-all
at Government expense. Then the five Demo.
cratic members will write long-WiDded in
dictment, in which they will insist that the
climax of Republican iuiquity is the respon-
slbility of that party for tue bad character OF
the Chicago subsoiI. The two Republican
members will enter feeble protest, in which
thew will set forth that the Democratic party
is, as q matter of fact, more responsible
for the bad character of Chicago under
ground than the Republican party. Here is
grave issue, which Congress will discuss
Tor Il few weeks at cost OF $4,000 day TO
the American people. Finally the testimony,
reports, and debates will be ordered to be
printed, subsequently to find their way into
the hands OF old-paper dealers, and the dis
position of the MISTER will be relesated to
tue Secretary of the Treasury, with power
to act, with universal howl on the part OF
the Democratic press against the infamy and
corruption of the Republican party Us illus
trated by Chicago clay.
