In the last Congress were several Ring
Democrats who were used by Boss SHEPHERD
and Others for the promotion OF their plumber
ing schemes, just Gs Ring Republicans In the
New York Legislature were used by loss TWEED
to promote the projects OF the old Tammanv
Ring. The most conspicuous OF the Democrats
IN the Forty-thrd Congress who permitted
themselves to be used for such ienobe pur-
poses were promptly repudiated by their con-
stituents. and no longer infest the Capitol, un-
less in the capacity Of lobbyists. While we be-
lieve that the majority OF the new House Of
Representatives are honest, and earnest in their
determ nation to institute reforms, It would be
strange indeed " there were not some black
sheep among the nock and as the session adj
sanccs toward the day OF ad ournment we may
expect to see these show their colors. The coun-
try will demand that any attempted Jobs shall
be promptly suppressed, and will hold the ma
jority In the House responsible II this should
not lie done. The EXPOSURES OF corruption In
the Administration which Congress Is enecting
are OF Importance, but the Democrats will make
great mistake II they permit themselves to be-
lieve that a loss OF confidence In the Republican
organization necessarily implies grant Of trust
to the opposing party. 1t depends very mate
rally upon the action Of the present House of
Representatives whether the great BODY OF inde-
pendent voters who desire honest government,
and who will decide the political complexion of
the next Administration, shall vote for the Re-
publican or the Democratic candidates In No
vember. Therefore the greatest care should be
taken to deal promptly and effectively with all
measures tainted with suspicion, especially
when they are introduced and supported by
members who profess to be Democrats. II the
House Of Representatives suppose that they can
sanction such scsndalous jobs as the New Mex
leo bill aud the like, and at the same time
secure the confidence of the honest voters OF
the country, they will he likely to get lesson
next fall which will unpleasantly convince them
of the extent Of their error.

Mr.. orrEspoRrEn of the Stats zeituns

Mr.. OrrESDoRFER OF the Stats Zeitung
has declined to be a delegate TO the st. Lo us
Convention of the Democracy; and he has dono
well. Mr. OrrRSDoRFER Is the conductor OF one
OF the ablest, best informed, and most innuen-
tlal Independents newspapers In the United
States, and he cannot consistently agree before
hand that he will approve aud support either
the platform OF the candidates OF any conven-
ton OF either party. His duty Is 10 criticse
platforms and candi iates and to advise the
public how to vote for the best good OF the
country. II he were to accept place as q mem
Der Of party convention, he would be bound to
advocate 9TH the doctrines of Its platform aud
the election OF Its antiiates, unless these
should prove to he go utterly bad as to render
such advocacy impossible. 1t Is therefore wise
and proper that he should wait TIL all the nomi-
nations are made before he determines what
ticket he will support Yet the stats Zeitung
continually does Justice to Gov TILDEN, and to
the principles and policy OF which he Is repre-
sentative; ana If he should be nominated at st.
Louis, we presume that he viii have through out
the canvass the support OF that admirable
journal.

Remarkable Coincidence.

When Mr.. BLAINE was under fire in 1873
for his dealings in the Iowa Falls and
Sioux City Job, he made II part of his de-
fence in the following words before the in
vestigating COMMITTEES:
"By Mr. srEvESsoS-o.-You say this renewal in 1898
mad no ref renee TO tn's company Al had no refer
"QSYou 10 not mean that the act of 1868 did not
gram any land A. say II dld no. grant them to tni.
iSS5 renewed to tue Si'e % I0'a the grant made III
This statement was technically true. but
ii Intentionally conveyed false impress
sion. Mr.. BLAINEs object was to create
the belief that Congress conferred no IA
vor on the company with which he was
connected, and, therefore, that in renew
ing the land grant which had expired for
non-fulfllment the State alone received
the advantage. Unfortunately for these
sharp tactics, the records show that con-
temporaneously with the act of Congress,
and even before its passage, the Legisla-
ture of Iowa transferred the land grant to
the Ring, who We're operating a, Washing
ton, and some OF whom were members OF
Congress, Mr.. BLAINE being one of the
number in the House of Representatives.
In his personal statement relating to the
Little Rock aud Fort Smith road last week,
he used almost the Identical language, and
certainly the same argument, "a he did on
the former occasion. as will be seen by an
extract, as follows:
repeat. that the Little Rock road derived all that
IL had from the State of Ark and not from Con.
II was IN the discretion VI Congress to give or
withhold from the .Nric. Ou, II sol ~ within the
discreet n OF the state ~ give Or withhold nom the
Little Rock Company"
In this case Mr.. BLAINE Intentionally
misrepresented the legislation of Congress.
The act of Feb ., 1858, expressly grants the
land to aid In building a railroad from
Little Rock to Fort Smith. The state had
no right i'll or control over II, except to
charter a company TO carry out the grant.
And when the grant was renewed after
the war. the original conditions remained.
But by seeking to interpose the State, Mr..
BLAINE hoped to break the force of the
public Judgment against the Ring corpo-
rations, with which he was associated as a
large stockholders aud which derived their
principal and their profits from venal legis-
lation ut Washington. On the surface
these statements look plausible enough,
but stripped of their disguise, the at
tempted fraud becomes more offensive,
and Mr. BLAINE, like some other sharpers,
is caught in his own trap.

The convention between the United
States and Mexico for the settlement Of

Mr.. FISH succeeded twice in getting the
life oil tie convention extended, and thus
I'D he'd three yeas TO its time. Finally
tholc WAS 40 proteXt for further postpone
m.ut. and the end came on the LIST of Feb
rLaIy, much TO the regret Of the oilers
who Lad been receiving large pay for lit
Tie scryice. Those siuccurcs are the pets OF
the Secretary of state being supported at
the expense Of the public.
Although MIR. FISH and the Committee
on Appropriations IN the last Congress
knew that this joint commission would ex-
pre- on the 3lst Of January, Mr.. GARFIELD
aud his associates voted not only the fun
pay for the whole stan up 10 the Both of
next june but many thousands more than
were necessary for that purpose. The OBJ
feet of that culpabe extravaganza is now
made known in a communication from Mr.
FISH TO Mr.. RANDALL. The Secretary OF
State asks that the time of the umpire, Sill
EDWARD THORNTON, may be extended to
Jan. !, ls77, and rs he declined to receive
any compensation for long and laborioui
services, that IA suitable testimonial should

Stopping InvestigatiOn.

The Senate, the Administration, and the
Rug courts at Washington have all COM
bined TO thwart and to defeat further in
vestigation into the frauds and corruption
which have thus far astounded the coun-
try. The Republican leaders perceive that
II the exposures continue TO be made as
they have begun, defeat at the Presiden-
;ial election is certain. They know how
much is yet concealed, and they dread the
consequences that must follow new proofs
of an organized system of robbery aud
rascality, such us has already been found
In almost every branch of the public
service.
1t would be impoltic, and, in the present
temper of the public mind, perhaps dan
gerous to oppose investigation openly, as
that would be nearly equal to a confession
of guilt. Hence the leaders have proceed
ed insdiously to effect their object and TO
tie the hands of the peoples representa-
tives by artful expediep.s. They have
caucused and sought to do by indirect
means what they would not dare to at
tempt directly.
After the flight of MARSH to Canada, il
became evident that, unless witnesses were
properly protected, investigation would be
checked, and. in fact be made dependent
upon voluntary testimony A bill was
therefore passed by the House to extend
immunity for the purpose of obtaining
evidence of frauds on the Government,
md exposing the corrupt completely of
officials. The Senate has stifed that bill
and thus given its protection to Rings and
robbers.
Under the power Of the House to call for
persons and papers no question has been
heretofore raised about producing origi-
mails from the departmental files IN aid of
investigation. In many cases they are in
dispensable for that object since copies
would furnish no clue to variety OF
frauds that have been perpetrated. Re-
cent experience has shown that many of
the large claims passed through the Treas
ury and the Pension Office were supported
by forged papers. The President has now
issued an order forbiddlng originals to be
delivered TO the House. This is his method
Of obstructing inquiry and shielding
forgers and conspirators from detection
and punishment.
The House of Representatives ordered
HALLETT kILBoURN, one OF the most noto-
rious of the Ring jobbers Mt Washington,
INTO custody for refusing to answer ques-
tions which would expose the real estate
pool in and out OF Congress; and now the
Ring court has released him, in defiance Of
the authority of the House to restrain IA
witness in contempt.
Thus the senate, the Administration, and
the Ring courts consplre together to con-
zeal the villainle of Grautism, and to pre-
vent the House of Representatives from
uncovcrlng the iniquities which are hidden
in the books and records Of the public de-
partmcnts. 1t remains To be seen how far
the House will submit to these assaults.
flc contest is between the people seeking
honest government and an account of
Their money derived from grinding tax
alton, and corrupt Administration and
IL tools and confeicrates, striving to
throttle inquiry and to hold on to their
piunler.
