THE WHY OF IT.

The mania for Investigations that
now afliCtg che redeemers is &C.
counted for by the fact that there are
not places enough to supply the hun
cry horde that is clsmoring for the
reward Of service in the late cam
paign, and there are certain Offices
that cannot be arbitrarily vacated
without cause. This being the case
cause must be found, and with the
tools apparently at the command Of
the administration it was hoped there
would be little difficulty in finding
it. The better elements Of the re-
publican party, however, are becom-
ing disguised with the business.
Some of the committees are likewise
disgusted, and in the end the invest
igstion business will turn out to be a
boomerang.
Where there is real cause for in
vestigation, as there may be in some
cases. it ought to be made, and if
corruption, neglect Of duty or In
competency are found, Populists
ought to approve Of the effort to
purify and improve the public SER
vice; but the policy adopted Of inves.
tigstinR everything merely for po-
liticRl buncombe and to make room
for place hunters, thereby saddling a
heavy bill of expense upon the state
merely for the promotion of these
partisan and selfish ends, will not
meet the approval Of the rank and file
even Of the republican party.
We have already published criti
cisms Of the republican press relative
to "Appleiack Leland's" charges
against Senator Rogers, and there
are many other criticisms along the
same line. The Atchison Champion
of April s, in the course of an
editorial suggesting certain things
that it believes should be investi-
gated, also takes occasion to hint
that it fully understands the motive
Of the usual Investigations that are
made. II says:

FREEDOMS FLAG.

Where the tide OF life, in a crimson flood,
Flowed down many u quiet glen,
There freedoms flag was wet with the blood
OF those brave, noble men;
Who, amid the clouds Of battle smoke
And the lannon's constant firing,
Received the cruel bullets stroke
With never a thought of retireing.
Then Der them their retreating comrades trod
With no time to pause for weeping.
Their silent faces wete upturned to God.
And their spirits went home to his keeping
The moon shone down, upon them, there
With u pale, uncertain light.
And the faces, that AT morn. had been so fair
Were damp with deaths dews at night.
Bnt freedoms flag came back to camp,
And foa ted still AS proudly;
Though with human blood ii, yet, was damp,
They cheered for it quite loudly.
He, who at morn, the flag had borne
Came not back with ii at night;
The fiag, much stained and badly torn,
Still waved for freedoms right.
And now IL floats In tender pity,
Over many silent, nameless graves.
And over every fair aud loyal city,
The dear old flag OF freedom waves.
By the perfumed breath of Summer
Are its stars and stripes unfurled, fmer
Above the graves of sleeping soldier and drum
And over all this grand New World.
II floats where the brave hearts sweetly slum-
Who for 1t fought so well; Der,
They, alas, were many in number
Who for that starry banner fell.
May we see, floating forever
From city spires and mountain crag.
The emblems we shall love forever,
Freedoms treasured, starry flag.
