WE print on our first page the facts In the
case Of the restoration Of DIR. DRAPER's name
to the Naval Register as an assistant surgeon
by Secretary THOMPSON. after it had failed to
appear there for thirteen consecutive years.
The case is remarkable chiefly for the novelty
Of the action accorded to It by the Secretary
of the Navy. He reopens and reviews the ac-
tion Of predecessor in contravention of the
usages of the Department IL he does not in
fract thu spirit of tho law which requires leg
islation by Congress to reinstate officers In tho
service who have once been removed from IL
for cause. Tho letter of tho law may have
been observed in this instance by declaring
the officer never to have been out.

The REPUBLICAN Is not mistaken when II
asserts that the records show that the Demo-
Gratis are In favor Of making investigations,
the opinion Of the Post to the contrary not
withstanding. An examination Of the
record will show that very large
number of resolutions to investigate
were offered, but the Republicans objected
to them. If the Democrats had had two
third vote every committee would now be at
work investigating. When Mr.. WOODS resolu-
tion was up the Democrats voted solid to pass
1t every time. Those who watched the pro-
ceedings saw not the least evidence of luke
warmncss. But perhaps the Post wants to ad-
NIT in roundabout way that when the party
lash cracks all tho Democrats jump. If q
Democrat is honestly opposed to an investiga.
ton we know of no law that can compel him
to vote for one unless 1t be law of obedience
to party command.

THERE is very little of honest or intelligent
