The New York Tribune after noting
the progress being made by the inves-
ligatlng committee In New York In OK
posing the rascallty of the police and
other tools OF Tammany hall. asks
what has the Gray Committee done?
Has 1t acted as though it was really in
earnest; as though 1t actually desired
10 ascertain all the facts In the case?
No Intelligent uDpreiudiced person
outside OF Congress thinks 80. It's
initial step In closing its doors and
making Its inquisition secret and
mysterious did not give promise OF
earnestnsss or sincerity, and 1t must
be said that 1t has done nothing since
to change the general impression that
the purpose of the Investigation Ia not
to find out but to whltewash. The
only thing it has done in which 1t has
seemed to be In downright earnest is
to take steps Co have two newspaper
correspondents who made the scandal
public punished for contempt in refus-
ing to give the names OF their infor
mants.
In tie view Of the com mittee, ap
parently, the only oiIense committee
is in making the story public. Til,
important thing is not to find out The
truth ofthe story, but to punish thost
who told 1t. Meantime 1t is no credi
