CONFESSION AND INVESTIGATION

CONFESSION AND INVESTIG1 TON.
Never for years past have the public people
been afflicted with such a severe attack of
"quckened conscience Our newspapers are
converted into confessional boxes for the woe.
full tales of political and church criminals -
Time and again have the public listened to the
awful revelations concerning some great scan
dial and curbed its greed TO patience as il passed
through the tiresome details of a lengthy in
vestigaiion. Beecher's defled and injured
soul moaned for an investigation, and Cor
weary weeks the peruicious revelations of that
clerical scandal tingled through the veins of
public morality.
Fraud upon fraud was unearthed and in
people were startled then delighted with a
flourish Of trumpets, and after long time of
congressional smartness the whole thing
izzled out
hand the most choice collection of scandals,
confessions and Investigations that were ever
presented 10 the public Everybody who has
been the least hit naughty find consolation iu
an investigation. Even door-keeper Polk
wanted one. Mrs. Tlton confesses, but is too
i'll TO undergo an investi cation; McIin con-
iesses, and Congress don't know what to do
absat il; Conkling has unburdened himself
of some of his political heresy and kicked up
row with newspaper correspondent, and
there is u McCoskry scandal with an inves-
LEGATION of the first water attached. For
real lively wickedncss this catalogue cannot
be surpassed, and in few more weeks the
churches and Congress will proceed to take
INTO itself the lnquisitorial faculty and the
poor wretches will be stretched upon the rack
We hope that some good may come of it,
but we greatly fear that they are digging in
very thin soil.
