declared their intention to investigate
the management Of the various Gov
ernmental Departments. the Republi-
cans laughed aloud. They hooted and
gripned and scofed the idea as pre-
posterous and absurd. They are now
beginning to learn that the threats Of
investigation are not only being carried
out. but they are yielding their Ggiti-
mate fruits. The nets were not east
in rivers without ish. Every haul has
brought in its captives. and some Of
them very big flsh at that. Mr.. ely

Of capturing the biggest sharks Of them
