The Investigation now going on IN

a very correct opinion The investlga-
ton may have been intended simply to
satisfy and deceive public demand, IT so,
il has fallen short of the purpose in both
aspects. The desultory manner 10
which the inquiry is being made; the
lack Of skill aud tact in the examination
Of the witnesses brought before the com
mi,tee shows conclusivsly that the pur-
pose Of that so-called inquisitorial body
is not to get at the real facts, but simply
to satisfy a public desire; aud the calling
Of the chief participa in the alleged
net complained of, expecting them to

purpose, but to throw dust into the eyes

in coming to the National Capitol of late

that any understanding was had look
