PHILOSOPHY or CANAL REFORM

The report of the Canal Investigating Com
mission which was laid before the Legislature
Yesterday is not final, but it sums up their Ia
bors and presents their main conclusions. AL
though important recommendations are re-
served for another occasion, this report con-
tains the whole philosophy of canal reform.
The exposures of mismanagement and corrup-
ton have all been made in the twelve earlier
reports and hence dishonest contractors and
faithless officials can read this new
communication with composure. But it
is a report that will startle every thoughtful
citizen 1t shows that the State has been for
years utterly at the mercy of an INSCRIPTIONS
class of thieves, who have made themselves
masters of our politics. The Commission have
confined their attention to limited portion Of
the contracts for extraordinary repairs, and
have not gone back of tho year 1868. The
expenditures for extraordinary repairs since
1867 have amounted - S3.44l.924 81.
