ON THE RIGHT TRAIL.

NTH GORMAN IN THE SENATE
w and John Sharp williams in the
house as leaders, the Democrats Of
congress continue to make things in
teresting for the Republicans. Not
OnJy have they put the majority party
on the defensive. but they are driv-
ing their advantage home with a skill
have lacked for years.
In the senate debate Of Mon
day on the CuIberson amend
ment to the postofice appropria-
ton bill. Senator German insisted
on the proviso for a commis-
sion 20 investigate the postoffice de-
partment, and, although the Repub-
licans defeated the amendment, they
were compelled to explain again their
unwillingness to go into the investiga-
ton as the Democrats demand. Sena-
tor Aldrich. leader of the majority,
claimed lamely enough that no specific
charges were presented as a reason
for an investigation; he said further,
that the amendment for a commits
sion would not be considered in con-
nectson with an appropriation bill. and
the amendment was ruled out On
4 point of order. though st was
brought before the senate again in
modified form for later action.
The net result Of Senator Germans
move was 10 put the Republicans TN
record against investigation OF their
own administration of pOstOffice af-
fairs. and that was probably all the
Democrats expected TO do when they
forced the question 10 the fore in
debate. Apparently the Republican
leaders prefer to go before the coun-
try IN a presidential election con-
fronted with an evasion Of investiga-
ton rather than risk the exposure OF
conditions that might be disastrous TO
their cause this year.
Now the Democrats can argue with
reason that no investigation could
hurt anybody If postodice affairs have
been administered honestly; on the
contrary, n hearing would be Of vast
benefit to the Republicans if it proved
that the charges OF fraud in the post
Office department are unfounded.
The conclusion is inevitable that
Senator Aldrich and the other leaders
of his party fear the result If an hon
est. thorough inquiry were made just
ON the eve OF the presidential cleo
tlon
