THAT COTTON LEAK scANDA AL

With the resignation of John IL.
Hyde. the chief of the Bureau OF
Statistics of the Agricultural De-
partment, the lid has probably
been taken off of the investigation
into the department, and interest
ing facts will doubles be develop
ed. For several years there have
been serious complaints of leakage
in the Bureau, over which Mr..
Hyde has presided, and several
perfunctory Investigations have
been had resulting each time in
the alleged vindication of Mr..
Hyde.
There can no longer be any doubt
that the people of the South have
been taxed to maintain an Agri-
cultural Department which has
been used to manipulate statistics
for the purpose of depressing the
cotton producers and of enriching
of those in the Department and
the bear spectators of the North
The time has come when the
corrupt system should come to an
end, and the President owes it to
the country to push the inVestiga-
ton with an unsparing hand and
to punish all the attaches response.
BILE for the outrageous prostitution
of official powers to serve the pur
poses of private greed.
The Agricultural Department
has absolutely forfeited all claim:
upon the confidence of the Ameri
can people, and when the investi
cation has been concluded a clear
sweep should be made in the de
partment from top to bottom, and
a thorough reorganization should
be effected. If it is impossible t,
get capable men in every branch
of the statistical bureau who ar
above suspicion, then the entir
bureau ought to be abolished, TO
as it has been conducted tn
money paid to maintain it ha
been worse than wasted.
