TIE CHARGES AGAINST GENERAL H1F A.

The investigation of the charges acqn>;
Colnn >>ioncI Eamm ha. not yet been r"nri'ld
cd and until il is il would manii">tly lc I'M
fair for TIE TRIHI NJ to cXm">> an olhni"n
upon the merits OF IA" 'a>" a. presented Il IN"
committee by Representative Cooper. II viii
do no harm. however. Ia draw the attention
of the committee" t. Il few OI Tn" features al
the investigation 80 far rs it has proceeded,
which everybody will admit cannot hut weaken
The force of the rcp,,lt-what"vcr il may be
that the comntto" will submit 10 the lloN".
We assume of course tina; the comnicc
is doing lis duty. We must lilcwiS" a.srin"
that General Raum is innocent OF the grave
charges brought against him-at least. until
better evidence is adduc"d by Mr.. Cooper than
he has 50 tar been able f. put forward. But
precisely because it will never do for the com
mltrc t, rest under the suspicion Of having
aided in shielding abuses. and because We feet
confident that General Eaum will be able t"
explain fully and to the satisfaction of every
fair minded person his connection with the
Universal Refrigerator COmpany-fOr these
reasons precisely it is that the fullest and most
searching inquiry should be had. For the
committee to say that the terms OF the rcSOlu-
ii IN under which il is working do not author
izr it to go into certain lines Of inquiry is to
make an excuse which. to say the least, is
pucriIe. Where the interest of thousands Of
veterans is involved where the administr,-
ton of "a peculiarly s:cred trust has been
called in question: where charges OF 80 grave
a nature have been made against the head of a
bureau discussing oyer 500. 900. 900 year,
technical objections should not stand in the
way of full inquiry. If the committee doubts
its powers let it go to the House and ask for an
| extension Of its jurisdiction. II can do 80 be-
fore Congress adjourns. and it could proitably
resume the investigation in December: profit
ably, because we note with regret that certain
members Of the committee have not always
been able to keep their temper which for the
purpose in hand should be judicial rather than
peevish and fretfu.
AS for General Raum. he must see for him
self that the fullest inquiry is sure to benefit
him, If he is innocent. For him to insist upon
" standing on his legal rights" to qnibblc about
the amount and number of his notes ind0r$nd
by a pension attorney, or to shirk an inquiry
rs to the merits of his fefrigerating patent, is
to assume an attitude which is liable to be
misunderstood. We presume that he il acting
under the advice of counsel If he is, he will
permit us to say that it is pretty bad advice.
When one is called upon to Offer evidence that
an egg is good. that egg Il doubtful and q
doubtful egg is always bsd--at least Until
conclusive proof 10 the contrary is produced.

pESELTS IN EE5ZIL.

The Republican party in yesterdays cleo
tons in IIr,zi! enjoyed the marked advantage
of having definite programme practically
carried into effect. Under the Empire politi-
c1l leaders were always making promises TO
the electors. hut never rcdccming them. There
were two parties. the Liberals and the Conserva-
tivcS. differing only in name. equally hostile
to all measures of administrative reform. and
conducted by rival groups OF rapacioI> O1icc-
holders. Ouro Preto the most powerful Min
lister of the Crown. had been proposing social.
religions and political reforms for many years,
but without practical results lie was all I'm
perialist and not a RcfOrmcr. and his ambition
was satisfied when he found himself intrenchcd
in Office and was enabled to squeeze rs much
revenue aS possible from the Provinces. The
Provisional Government made no promises.
hut it issued DEGREES which created at once
a new political and social order. Measures
which had been idly debated session after
session were enacted Offhand. Civil mar
riagc, the discstabliShment of the Church. the
adoption Of a federal system with local au-
tOnOIny. the reduction of suffrage to an ed
ucatiOna qualification, the abolition of the
corrupt administration Of the capital. new
naturalization law and a hundred other Qucs.
tons were settled in few weeks. A COM
pete and homogeneous constitutional scheme
