The so-called Investigation" which the
Democrats of the House are trying to in-
augurate, is not merely Il onc-siiei piece OF
electioneering clap-trap; it Is much worse
than this; it is crime against the welfare
of the country. 1t cIn not affect the title OF
Mr. Hayes To the Presidency, because his
election was declared in accordance with the
official returns from the States, a. the con-
stitution directs This can not Je changed.
But it disturbs the business of the country.
and contributes to prolong that uneasiness
and laet of confidence, By which an active
and prosperous revival of business is held in
check. In more ways than one, this Con-
gress makes itself an obstruction to the busi-
ness prosperity of the people. 1t would be
great relief to the country. if it would pass
the appropriation bills, and adjourn as spon
as possible.

The passage of the new city debt bill is
hoped for with remarkable agreement by
nearly all parties. There must be about
four and halt million added to next
years city taxes to pay oil bonds idll-
ing due if this bill does not pass. It, prOvis-
ion is to appropriate the surplus of the sink
ing fund toward paying off this amount, and
similar ones as they fall due. Any town
ship in the Country can sympathize with the
big village over the Prospect OF its taxes in
creased by four million debt, with the
money to pay it lying idle.
The temperance people are making
Il bold and steadla>t fight against any
compromise with the liquor interest
in shape OF excise or license bills. Tie
prospect of such bills has always interiered
with the enforcement of the existing striu-
gent laws, and We mean to give these 4 iail
trial before making compromise with IN
temperance. Such II reSolute attitude Is
necessary, when n gin-mill is the standard
corner ornament of village and city block
alike. Coffee would be public blne wert
it drank to the extent and at the expense
that whiskey is, to say nothing OF the quar-
relsomeness and the ruin which result iron
