Precept and Practice.

| Dir. j. SLoAT FASSETT. who Is acting as
| Chairman Of the Committee OF tho State
Senate which is now investigating the affairs
| OF Democratic cities, delivered speech at
the meeting Of the Harlem Republican Club
on Wednesday evening, in which he made
a correct statement OF what was proper and
decorous conduct on his part:
1t would be fitting in mo this time to comment
am acting Chairman"
In saying this, Senator FAssETT said in
substance that whatever he might think OF
the discoveries made by the Senate COM
mittee, he ought not to anticipate the ver-
dict Of that body by any expression Of
opinion in advance OF Its report. He evil
IDENTIFY understands that the committee is
acting in quasi-judiclal capacity, and that,
to say the least, it is unbecoming to pro-
nounce judgment, or even to express a de-
cided opinion as to the merits OF a case,
until all the evidence is in.
With such correct view as to the pro-
prteties OF his position, it il surprising to find
that Mr.. FAssETr should utterly ignore his
own rule of conduct In the very next sem
tence he uttered in the speech to which we
refer. 1T would not be fitting in me at this
time to comment upon what has come be-
fore the committee of which l am acting
Chairman. But If there is a single department
Of this city Government that ia honestly and de-
Gently conducted, Ihave get to knoD it,"
