Only Partial Investigation wanted
by the Democrats.

The debate upon Mr.. Hale's Amend
ment to Mr.. Potter's resolution of investi-
CATION of alleged frauds in Florida and
Louisiana, in the Presidential election,
showed clearly the purpose OF the demo-
Gratis TO prevent full and fair investiga-
ton. They want to open the door just
wide enough to admit such testimony as
Mr.. Tilden has procured in Florida and
Louisiana, and then close 1t against evil
dence in relation to other States. They
hold out that the work in which they are
engaged is one of the deepest Importance
and so il would be il 1t was an honest
movement to ferret out and punish fraud
in the election of President-but they in
sist upon limiting it to A small terri
tory, excluding many States where
the elections were questioned, giving the
go-by to essential facts going to show that
Mr.. Tlden and his friends and associates
were concerned in fraudulent tran sactions
to make him President Why do the
democrats desire to cramp the investiga-
ton of a matter OF such great importance ?
Why not give it the scope it deserves and
demands Why say that matters in Florida
shall be investigated and shut out Oregon
with it's Cronin, New York with its re-
peaters, and Mississippi with its BULLDOG
ers? II we are to have investigation
upon a subject OF such paramount import
ance. it should be broad. searching,
thorough and fair, else it will be farce !;
a useless and wicked agitation. that never
should have been commenced.
To the other elements that are causing
confusion and distress in the social and
the validity of the title of the President OF
the United States will be like fuel to fire.
II will encourage the communist. the rev.
outionist the repudiator, for it is strike
against established authority, it is revolu-
ton. an uprising against law and order in
the very place where law and order should
be supreme if anywhere.
And this revolutionary act is for what
Only to manufacture political capital for
Mr.. Tilden and the democratic party for
future use. IL honest motives were at the
bottom investigation would not be confined
to any narrow locality. Every State would
be invited to throw what light it could up
on the subject. The truth would be
sought let it be wherever it might. The
doors of investigation would be open for
every one who had testimony to give.
But in this case Mr.. Potter.reiuses to hear
only Florida and Louisiana and what the
decision OF the committee will be is known
before even the committee is appointed.
This is democratic craftsmanship, dem
ocratic wisdom. democratic regard for the
welfare of the business and laboring COM
munity. democratic respect for law and
order! Let the Communist look and ad-
mire.

They have issued circular informing all
parties that any attempt to pre-empt their
lands under the decision of the Interior De-
partment will be resisted and the parties
elected. They also give notice of their pur-
pose TO ignore what they term "the so-call
ed decision of the Secretary of the Interior"
and that they will continue the sale of lands
as heretofore, at prices fixed by the respec-

will be made shortly in order to have the
question at issue adjudicated by the courts.
Numerous applicants are being received at
the Interior Department from persons de-
string to pre-empt under Secretary Schurz's
decision, asking for information as to the
character and location of the unsold lands.
No steps have as yet been taken to furnish
the information asked, and applicants are
simply supplied with printed copies Of the
Secretary's decision.

your conversation with your friends !;
tho business he sees you transact the
likings and dislikings he sees you ex-
press-these will educate him. The
society you live in will educate him ;
your domestic circle will educate him
and, above all, your rank, your situa-

will educate him. It is not in your
power to withdraw from him the con-

a new and racy local phrase we get
from the Atlanta conference of Southern

evangelists on the ground that all the

Called on to define his nickname, he
said: dwell, sir, they are those fell

They won't split, you can't work
them into any good sound or square
work, such as we want. They are
knotty, and are not worth bothering
