REPUBLICAN FOLLY.
The People of This Country Utterly

New York Times.

| New York Times.
But some Of the republicans in con-
gress seem to be determined that they
will not he outdone in-folly. The peo
pile throughout the country are utterly
sick of the sectional issue, and nothing
is so calculated to excite their diss ust
and aversion as the exhumation of the
"bloody shirt" and a reiteration of the
cry OF Southern outrages. Outrages
there are in the South, and they have
more or less Of political character. They
are worthy of denunciation when they
are committed, but The time has gone by
when political capital can be made by
any attempt to force them into national
politics. The social and political bar
barities of the South are the results OF o

perience and conditions of the South
II is improving year by year, and can
be cured only bv time and the growth
of better sentiment there. There i. no
repression that the national government
can exercise upon it with beneficial re-
suits. There is nothing that q political
party in the North can do about it with
benefit. Crime In Virginia and Miss.
isslppi can no more be dealt With by
congress than crime on Long Island or

| A searching but impartial investiga-
tion Of the Copiah County outrages

tiing the shameful facts before the country
Such an exposure would benefit tae State
lof Mississippi by tending to make such
outrages more rare. But we have no
confidence that such an investigation can
be undertaken and carried on with the
sole purpose Of getting at the facts. This
is year OF active politics, and Sir.
Hoar, chairman of the senate committee
on privileges and elections, not a man
who would be likely 10 overlook any
opportunity for the manu- acture OF party
capital. 1t Is the worst kind of faulty
for republicans. in congress TO spend their
time in discussing Southern outrsges
and attempting to renew sectional an
tagonism. 1t will win no democrats and
it will repel thousands of independent
and sensible republicans. 1t is piece
OF folly that will 60 tar toward offsetling
the stupid blunder of the democrats in
proclaiming their purpose to degrade the
public service to the spoils system again.
