The result of the investigation into the al
fairs of the Pan Electric Telephone Com
pany may not be so soothing to the feelings
of Attorney General Garland as has been ex-
pected The committee of investigation is a
House committee, and as such includes more
Democrats than Republicans. The Repub-
licans, with Mr.. Ranney at their head, have
decided on a minority report censuring the
Attorney General for his connection with
the disreputable undertaking to use public
Office to promote private gain. 1t was ex-
peeted that the Democratic members, in their
majority report, would smooth over the
whole affair, but Mr.. Hale of Missouri, who
seems to have the decency to understand
that the affair has been too disgraccful to be
put aside in such way, refuses to sign the
report of his Democratic brethren, and
thinks of making one of his own. More than
this, Mr.. Eden, another Democrat, has had
his independent tendencies awakened by the
knowledge that he cannot hope for re
election; and now affirms that he too be-
lieYes the affair discreditable; and will very
likely sign Mr.. Hale's report. This VIII
leave the apologists of such an act as using
the powers of the government to further the
interests of a private corporation, in the
minority that they ought to be.
