The resolution directing an investigation
into the relations of the Pan-Electric Tele-
phone Company and the Administration has
finally been passed by a Democratic House
This is one of the few sensible things the DEM
ocrats have done since they came into power
and we should be glad to think that they did
it because they hate wrongdOng and not be-
cause the whole country is enraged at the way
Government support is lent to private jobs and
threatens not to stand it much longer. Still
even Democrats should have their dues. The

is II. L. Parke the paying teller who actually
WAS able to tell the Senate RaiiOad Committee
TO whom he paid check for S'1'ooV'

payment of such checks as OF decid-
edlv unusual occurrence (the cashier, 1t
will be remembered, would hardly admit SO

ing the payments he used some $4,000 gold
certificates. Here, possibly, is clew TO WORK

so plentiful but that it is sometimes possible TO
trace them from hand to hand. The commit

likely to 90 lower. The banks cannot put the
money left with them into anything that pays
well. Painful as this is, it should be remem-
bered that the first thing depositors OF THIS
class require is absolute safety for their saw
ings and that it would not be wise to oifer In
ducements to men to get up savings banks.
Before the Platt bill is adopted, therefore, the
Assembly should find out what the managers
of our present safe banks think of it, The
measure proposes to permit investments in the
bonds of any county or city in State that has
not in ten years defaulted IN its interest or
principal, and whose total amount OF bonds
does not exceed per cent of the assessed

The gang of west side thieves to which John
Moran belonged will probably keep clear here
after of Sohn's grocery in West Seventeenth
st.. so long al least as Henry Plange sleeps
there. If they had avoided the place late
Thursday night, for instance, they would not
now be mourning MOran's death, and Plange
would have been spared the unpleasant duty OF
shooting the burglar who was robbing his en-
plOyer. An in cident of this kind has good
deal more effect upon youthful criminals like
Moran and his companions than the arrest and
Imprisonment of one of their number would
have Judging from the coOlness which Plange
showed in the emergency of Thursday night,
we should cay that lie would make capital
policeman, and we don't wonder that the men,
bers of the force admire hiid.
Some of the legislators at Albany seem anx
ious to pass laws this winter which will make
it more difficult to get married. Yet it is not
so much easy marriages which have hurt this
community as the evils flowing from our defec-
tive divorce laws In New Y ork State the opin-
ion seems to prevail that marriage is civil
contract. Why then require man or woman
to take out license 10 enter into civil con-
tract? Many people will argue in that way in
regard 10 INC llCellSc Dll iulIOuUCcu III tHo Ho-
sembly yesterday. But touching our lax
divorce laws there is little or no difference OF
opinion. What is needed Is a statute making
it as unpleasant as possible for a guilty divorced
person to marry outside this State as well as
within it. That is the side of the marriage
question which Asscmblymen and Senators
might consider with profit to the community.
The way in which the gale of yesterday blew
down telegraph poles and tangled up the wires
throughout the country generally makes one
wonder IL a few more such experiences added
to those of the past ill not convince the cOm
panies that it would be good thing to put the
wires underground in the country as well III the
city. The Western Union had only two wires
working betwee this city and Washington last
night, and messages to all points were taken
Gsubject to delay.n Toward the West equal
damage was caused to all the lines III the

waited roads the wind swayed the moving cars
uncomfortably we should think that residents
above One hundred and -tenth-st. on the west
side of the city would be decidedly in favor OF
putting rapid transit trains under ground too.

CAPTAIN P. X. MAYERs, editor of the
PAsCAGoULA DEMoCRAT-STAR, and voted
the handsomest editor ia the State, paid
the Bay a visit Tuesday. He looks fine.
and pulled the scales in Mobile a few days
ago to one hundred and ninety pounds.
The Captain is a bold and fearless writer,
and until the Republican office-holders
got out he was after them pretty often.
Now he is throwing shot and she'll into
the camp of his own party, the Governor
of the State catching the most. Other
papers in the State wink at thugs done in
high places, but the DEMoCRAT-STAR, SO
bold in the past to attack its enemies,
shows the same spirit in criticising the
acts of its own party, and exposing
wrong and mismanagement of officers in
the government. - Correspondence Of "Ira,' "

LOWRY A FRAUD.


On the outside of this Issue We
print a synopsis OF the report o.
the committee that investigated the
Lowry Island survey. We must
cenfess that the revelations arr
more damaging than we had ex'
pected. We have received the re-
port of the committee in pamphlet
form, which contains the testimony
of witnesses before the committee,
which is quite interesting reading.
From it we CLEAN several bits OF
information not mentioned in the
report proper. Outside of the over
charges, or rather the drawing of
money several times from the
treasury on the same account by
| Cameron, the account was eX-
travagant. Mr.. Hamilton, while
rather a high priced nan himself,
and not. remarkable for economy,
testified that if the survey had
been left to him, as 1t seems to have
been intended, without the special
boon of CamerOn's watchful care,
he could have done the work for
about $1,000, whereas it cost the
State, outside of the Overcharges
charged against Cameron, the sum
of $2,237.6s.
This is one of the worst looking
official frauds that has been ferreted
out since the Democratic party has
been in power in this State, and
while we sincerely hope that Mr..
Cameron intended no crime, it will,
we fear, be "a heavy blow to the
party to pass this thing lightly by.
Justice can do no man "a wrong, and
justice should be meted out ire
spective of persons. If Mr.. Came
ron drew these excessive amounts
of money by honest mistake, be
owes 1t to himself, the Democratic
party and the people to make a
satisfactory explanation, and under
such circumstances u judicial in
veStigatiOn would be beneficial all
round. Mr.. Cameron has paid into
The treasury $3.50 in addition TO
he $500 mentioned III the commit
.ee'S report.

merited tribute to our efficient Dis.
trict Attorney:
Mr.. JAS. III. Neville, of Kemper
county, fills the important and re-
sponSlble Office of District Attorney
with great ability and fidelity. He
is quite a young man, IL most wOr-
thy one, and of Il high order of
talents and good legal attainmentS ;
"A fOrcible and fluent speaker, often
eloquent. His industry, energy,
vim and the great interest he takes
in the discharge OF his official du.
ties, makes him one of the best
District Attorneys in Mississippi.
1t is we'll tor the best interest of
society in this judicial district that
he is the solicitor tor tue Stlte in
the prosecutions. His ability aud
zeal in the performance of the func-
tons of his office is Il great auxiGa.
ry in maintaining law and order in
his district these qualities have
won the admiration and secured
him tho confidence of the people.
The selection of him was a good
one, for he is an accomplished gen.
and faithful officer.

of yesterday that the Hon. X. F,

ing, al the Register says, a Moody

lick gave vent to his opinions and
the objects aimsand determinations
of the Knights of Labor in very for
