The Change Which Is Taking Place in

An era of better feeling seems to
prevail in Ireland in these days, and
We hear little if anything Of the stir
and tumult which foreigners. as a
rule, are accustomed to associate with
the political life of that unhappy
country. 1t Is not because the Irish
themselves have changed IN the least
IN their disposition to English rule: IT
Is rather because of the change that
has come over England in her method
Of dealing with ireland.
The change that has come over
England IN Ireland is that she has.
For the moment at all events, aban-
doned her immemorial habit of gov

A German newspaper reports that
the saloon carriage of the train which
is conveying General Kuropatkin to
the Far East is furnished with "mu-
steal" instrument-we decline to ad-
vertise the particular brand In these
columns for less than $500 a line
which has attached to it records Of
comic songs, Wagner, and church
music" The commander-in-chief Of
the Russian forces is reported IS
greatly pleased with the instrument,
and as listening to it for hours at a
time.
This is highly significant; in fact,
we might place the information IN
the important-if-true class 1t sheds
new light upon the campaign now de-
veloping on the two banks of the
Yalu. 1t accounts for much that
heretofore was dark to us For one.
we must make up our minds to the
fact that this war will not be carried
on, on the part Of Russia at least,
without an inspiration which only a
solemn coon song or a tender ditty
from say the "Gotterdammerung, :"
can furnish. We can imagine the
great general, as his train penetrates
the forest Businesses of Siberia or
fits across the awful solitude OF
frozen Baikal, listening to the instrI-

How could they hope TO overcome the

Democrats Insist Upon an Investigation
of the Postof6ce Department

of the Postofice Department
Aggressive tactics, it Is said, have
been decided upon by Democratic
Senators to force a general invest
CATION of the Postoffiee Department.
Such an investigation Is resisted by
Republican Senators on the ground
that there is no necessity for an IN
vestigation that has already been
had, or an investigation that cannot
be made by the Postoffice Department
itself.
The Republican position, IN our
opinion, Is a sound one Investiga-
tons by Congress rarely if ever IN
vestigate They are not designed to.
They are intended to produce COM
paign literature. The good of the
public service Is a minor eonsidera-
ton. Take the case Of the boodlers,
recently convicted, for instance. A
committee of the Senate some years
ago was placed ID possession of many
of the facts which contributed to
Maehen's downfall. SO was a com
mittee of the House a year or two
earlier. Did either make use of the
clues furnished Not on your life I!
Both listened with great solemnity to
the testimony, and then with equal
solemnity resolved TO do nothing. The
testimony offered to the Senate COM
mittee at the time Is in print. 1t is
public document. Ninety Senators
could have had it for the asking. Yet
none applied for it; none came for
ward with proposition to purify the
department or TO turn out the raseals.
A gloomy silence pervaded the Dem
ocratie side of the chamber. No
Presidential campaign was on.
We repeat: Investigations by Con-
gress don't investigate. They are
farces, pure and simple-and very
costly ones at that. One Bristow,
with a half dozen energetic inspec.
tors, Will accomplish more IN one week
than ten score of Democratic reform
ers now clamoring loudly for a gen
eral overhauling of the Postoffice De
partment would in ten years.
Let us have none Of il.
