Hon. NJ. j. McGrath, of ST. Charles,

to his character. A lawyer by profess

great benefit to the committee in its ex-

AS a whole this committee is happily
chosen for the extraordinary work be-
fore it. Seldom has group of men
been more carefully selected and open1

report of findings ought to be a docu-

if not to the nation.
The committee has but 5000 at its
disposal. This amount will be made to
go as far as possible in paying for adj
vertising to secure all available informa-
ton, and for paying the IS per day and
mileage allowed the members of the
committee. Every move will be care
fully planned, and no useless trips will
be undertaken. With the legal aid of
the attorney general and the backing OF
the governor, much otherwise necessary
expense can be avoided. The latter
part of May the committee will hold its
next meeting in this city, when the real
work will be planned and begun.
