STAR CHAMBER INVESTIGATIONS.

A Washington telegram complains, and
we doubt not with justice, that The ''secret
/" investigations" now progressing in
Washington, fare fruitful of injustice and
Misrepresentation" Unfortunately, the
instance given does not show this "injus-
"tice," for it is difficult to see how it can
make much difference whether royalty"
was paid to one who had no patent, or
whether it was paid him before the patent
was available. However, it needs no
argument to show that these secret investi-
cations must necessarily result in injustice
and Misrepresentation. Although nominal
ly "secret," their proceedings cannot re-
main wholly hid. Parts, and usually the
worst parts, will creep out ard are tele-
graphed broadcast over the country. The
mere fact that they are "secrets," surrep-
titiously obtained, gives an added impor-
lance, and they readily command belief.
Open inquiries carry their own antidote.
Explanation, where explanation is needed
or available, is promptly furnished, and
the original statement and its explanation
go to the country together-and mischief is
prevented.
We all saw howl this was during the
Credit Moblier Investigation. Then the
republicans, as the democrats are now do
ing, endeavored TO conduct their enquiries
in secret. The air was filled with SUSPECT
on. Rumors were telegraphed and pub
lshed as facts. Regulations were shattered
and general confidence in public men was
lost. Public opinion, at last, forced the
committee to sit with open doors, and the
air rapidly cleared. The true was sifted
from the false; the good no longer suffer
cd with the bad no one escaped exposure,
but only those whose garments were stain
ed suffered by it.
The only excuse given for these star
chamber practices is wholly untenable.
The guilty escape as easily, more easily,
than in open inquiries. With secret in
vestgation, Marsh escaped and fled to
Canada, and Belknap by reslgning, es-
capped conviction on Impeachment. With
an open committee, public opinion would
have demanded the retention of Marsh, and
the president would not have been betrayed
into the blunder-to use the midest posi-
BILE term-of accepting the resignation of the
secretary of war. With open investiga-
tions, Bradley Barlow's forty thousand dol
lars and diamond PIN would have been
saved, for no committee would have dared
stfe inquiry or report counter to the facts.
Belknap, Robson, Delano, Williams, Pen
dlston and others can as readily be brought
to justice, the evidence against them is as
attainable, in a fair open inquiry as in one
conducted in room, with the doors locked
and barred aud tue curtains drawn. The
people of the United States desire justice
to be done, but they hold these secret in
vestigations in as great adherence as the
people of England, after the lapse of more
than two centuries, do the memory of the
star chamber. Let tbs rascals, both demo-
Gratis and republicans, be unearthed and
punished, but let it be done openly and
boldly, not in hidden, cowardly way.
