That Investigating Committee.

The assembly committee appointed
to investigate the alleged corruption
at the peHitentiary is composed of
Senators John A. Gale, of the Nine
teenth district and Frederick Z. Peck
of the Twentieth district and of
Representatives j. w. Bowles, of
Arapahoe county, S. A. King, of
Clear Greek county, and John w.
Prowers, of Bent county. The ap-
pointment of Hons. Gale and Peck is-
to say in the very mildest language,
unusual and unprecedented. We be-
lieve we state facts when we say that
no presiding officer of SO dignificd a
body as state senate in the United
States ever before appointed, as merl-
bers of an Investigating committee,
the same men who had preferred
charges of so serious nature as have
been made against the management
OF the penitentiary. II will also be
remembered that Frederick c. Peck
is the gentleman who, because he
could not prevent the combinations
of Mr.. Megrue two years ago, made
charges against that institution which
he could not sustain. 1t is reason
able. then, to suppose he is prcjudiced
and will not agree with the majority
of the committee when they find
everything right. as we believe they
will. He has sore to heal and will
do it, even to the detriment of the
state, if he can. The house members
of the committee have no old scores
to wipe out

As our penitentiary has been a
topic of discussion of late, we will,
in spirit of fairness, give this week
some items which newspapers in this
neighborhood seem to have omitted.
We trust the investigation asked for
by some parties will be made in the
fullest manner, by an impartial conf
mittee, who have no particular
friends whom they would like to see
secure some of the positions which
would be made vacant by an unfavor-
able report. We are pleased to see
that the lower house has avoided ap-
pointing men who requested they
might serve on the committee. The
idea of any member asking tor an ia
vestigation and requesting that he
be appointed to investigate, is an un-
usual occurrence and smacks of too
much disinterested earnestncss. 1t
is like o man attempting to be pros
ecu,ing attorney and judge in the
same case. We feel certain that after
the inquiry is over the management
of our penitenitary under Warden
Megrue will be pronounced as honest
and competent as that of any institu-
ton of the kind in america, and that
the accusers will find themselves in
an unenviablc position. Having re-
ceived no fsvors from the late man.
agement, we only base our predic-
tions upon the reputation for honesty
aud square-dcaling enjoyed for years
by Mr.. Megrue. Ii such reputation
will not, at least, give a man the ben
eft of doubt when hearsay charges
are made, then the encouragement is
very poor to those who toll for years
to establish good character.

An Animated Answer.

The following document. signed as
it is, is conclusive answer to the
statement in the Pueblo Chieftain
and Denver Republican, that all of the
prominent business men in Canon
City sustain the charges made against
the penitcntiary management. 1t will
be seen that this paper contains the
signatures of nearly every prominent
citizen in business in this town, and
among the names those Of several In
tiuential democrats:
We, the aadersiSaed, residents and
bwsiHess men Of Ca10a City, do he-
lispe, from our ossn knosciedge anti

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTV.

Roscoe Conkling has thrown
FIRE brand into the ranks of his
party, and he appears to take Il
wicked delight in fanning the
fame which bids fair now to dis
rupt, and scatter, and utterly de-
moralize the entire Republican
forces. His party has had con
troll of this government for a
score Of years. That party has
at its head some ambitious and
unscrupulous men, one of whom
is the New York politician. Such
men have for years labored to
instill into the minds of the peo-
pie the idea that the Republican
party saved the nation from de-
struction, and has the undis-
puted right forever to control
and rule the nation That such
an erroneous idea is rife among
the people of the North, no one
will deny. They have listened
to the teachings of such blind
fanatics as Conk!ipg and his ilk
until they have learned to regard
every man who is not q Republi-
can as an enemy to the country. |
1t is the existence of such absurd |
ideas that justiies men like |
Conkling to defy aud despise the
suggestions and demands Of the
President himself. He has been
petted and coddled by obse-
quious puppets until, like a
spoiled child, be must do as be
pleases Or not do at all. Hence,
when he discovered that be was
dealing with a man of nerve, as
Garfield thas shown himself to
be, Conkling, to crafty personal
piqae and indulge his vaul.ipg
ambition, threatens to disorgan.
ize and ruin his party by resign
his seat in the Senate.
He has created dissension in
the Republican party that it will
require years 10 heal. It would
be policy On the part of the De-
mocracy to take advantage of
tho discord that now exists in
the Republican camp. Conk-
|ing's fierce blow at the Presi
dent may be the beginning Of
The end of Republican suprem- I
acy in the United States of
;.

| The two great papers Of Mon
roe are solid against the admis-
sion Of females to the State Uni
versity. The Bllletin, whose
editor is as iuI! of law as an egg
is of "suthin' good to eat." says
such proposition is illegal. aud
therefore impossible. The Tele-
graph, through the voluminosity
| of its Trentonian editor, argues
that the co-education of the two
sexes will have a pernioious and
caI|ous influence On the delicate
texture OF the softer sex, and
subject them to the nauseous
process of learning lessons that
piano thumpers never have any
use for-or words to that effect.
We think our able contempo-
raries are wrong. Since the
abolition OF slavery in the South,
we think every one Of her fair
daughters should be thoroughly
conversant with all Of the knowI-
edge that Is so essential TO a sue
cessful man. No woman knows
when she may be thrown on the
cold charity of the world, de-
pendent tor bread on he, own
exertioEs. To train her for such
an emergency is the duty of our
great schools, none of which
have better facilities than that
presided ovel by Presid, Mt |
J Johnston. We hope the press
Of the State will never cease to |
urge the claims Of Louisiana |
upon the Baton
Rouge University, until pro
vision is made for their admis- |
sion and education.
