Soon after the political revolution in Maryland
had been decrecd at the polls it was announced
that an effort would be made to convict the
chief instruments of Democratic fraud OF the
crimes which they were known to have com
mitted and to subject them to just punishment.
Not much has been heard of that purpose lately
bur q legislative investigation of Democratic
administration in Maryland during the last
thirty years is now proposed and Will probably
be undertaken. 1t ought to have sautary re-
suits and will have if it Is conducted with I'M
partial vigor As we have learned in Ncw-lork
within the last year, rascals in politics nave
great skill and luck in avoiding the penalties OF
misconduct even when they have been COM
pletey exposed. They might succeed equally
well in Maryland, but there would be consider
able advantage in putting them permanently on
record, even if that were all they could be made
to suffer The value of our municipal nvestisa-
ton is not measured by the number OF knavcs
who are in Jail because of it.

IRVING'S TOUR.

The tour Of Henry Irving Ellen Terry and their
associates OF the London I.yceum appears to have
been triumphal progress. In Philadelphia. Bat-
more, Washington, Richmond. Charleston Savannah
and Atlanta they have drawn crowded houses.
they have been welcomed with great enthusiasm.
Their performances hailed in the South as a
revelation In dramatic art. Mr.. Irving has ex-
pressed himself deeply touched by the genality OF
the Southern people and by the heartiness OF the
welcome extended to him. and as greatly interested
by the novel features OF Southern life. Last night
Mr. Irving and Miss Terry appeared in New-Oreans
for the first time. playing at the Grand Opera
House The scene was remarkably brilliant. They
will remain there till Sunday and then proceed 10

a month for the first six months, and to ~ per

This Of course would afford some relief to the
people whose misfortunes are cnrlchng the
pawnbrokers. bu' fal less relief than that to
which they are entitled.
The history Of efforts to reduce plwnbrokcrs
charges Is strange and shameful. No session Of
the Legislature goes by in which bill ostcnsby
seeking to effect this purpose is not introduced
only Ia be smothcred. There has never been SO
much as the vestigc If a decent argument in
favor of the present law. and yet the pawn
brokers' interests are always secretly and sur
ccssfully defended There Is no explanation Of
this fact which l. not discrcditlblc to those who
are responsible for it. The pawnbrokcrs are not
numerous. and therefore do not east large
vote. They are not legtimately influential, and
therefore there Is no even partly honest reason
for serving them in this matter. They are in
general, rapacious and remorscless. and many
of them are abomInable rascals. who promote the
activity OF thieves by enabling them to convert
its proceeds into cash. Tie power which they
possess over the Legislature Is Of necessity de-
rived from their Willingness and ability to spend

Weeks before the election advertising con-

posed and denounced Thomas c. Platts scheme

publican party in this county and retain the
rotten fruit OF his alliance with Tammany Hall
We did this in the confident expectation that
he would order his creatures in the Ponce
Board TO place the election advertising else
where. and the event verified our estimate or

exchange for legal tender notes. James Still
man, the president Of the bank, In taking this

The Coroners- Department in this city is little
natter than O nuisance. The Tribune has found
ample reason to criticise and condemn 1t over
and over again. The Legislature ought to adopt
a law abolishing the Coroners' Department, and
acting I'D q system similar to that In Massachu
setta BY which investigations Of death cases
which need investigation are made by qualified
medical examiners, who report directly to the
D,str1ct,Attorneys and the Police Departments
The absurd. cumbrous and ANTICIPATED apparatus
NJ Coroners' inQuests and Of CorOners' jurics
has been done away with in Massachusetts, and
other weIl-known States. It ought to be given
nm entirely here. The Coroners in this city in
MANY instances have been men who brought
discredit upon the community. Coroner Hoeber
Is a particularly unfortunate specimen Of the
officeholder. He Is so fiery Of temper that he is
frequently getting into inexcusable quarrels.
The Legislature ought to abate HOeber at an
early day.
