ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.

More interest attaches to the pro-
posed investigation of the Corporation
Commission with reference to their
conduct In Diminishing Mr.. A. 8. Lanler
some time since as clerk In that de
partment, for alleged connection with
a corporation formed for obtaining
charters and doing work for chartered
companies before the commission. 1t
will be recalled that there was STIR
at the time this became known, but as
this is the first meeting of the Legisla-
ture since the occurrence nothing OF
this character could be done before.
We hear that all hands want the in.
vestigation, and whilst it is aimed at
Judge Crump Of that body be, as much
as any one else, is seeking it. Mr..
Byrd of the House, fathered the reso.
luton there, and Mr.. -- of
the Senate. 1t was at fret difficult to
get any one who wanted to take the
initiative, but after such person was
found the rest was easy.
1t lie intimated In some quarters that
there are stI ong influences behind the
move, that even the railroads are In
directly aiding the investigation in the
hope OF discrediting the body and If
possible bring about a repeal of that
clause Of the constitution creating it.
1t is known the railroads have bitterly
opposed this commission, they fought
the enactment Of the corporations
clause in the constitution with great
bitterness, but when 1t became part
of that document they submitted res
lively as has been seen. Even now
they are going to test in the United
States courts the constitutionality OF
our constitution as to the powers of
the commission, and IL successful this
will cause a practical repeal of the
clause, but 1t would be better from
their standpoint to bring it into dis
favor, and ultimately have it repealed.
1t will soon be seen whether such is
the case, but one thing is certain and
that is there are whisperings which
are well defined, and secret longlngs
that something may be done which
will break the power Of the present
Corporation Commission, because out
side of the Supreme Court it is by far
the most important body in the State.
1t has never been popular with. the
professional politician. and Of course
the unpopularlty of it in other quar-
tiers is we'll known, SO that anything
rejecting on it either in usefulness or
reputation will be nuts for these 10
crack. The part Mr.. A. @. Braxton,
who is known to be the father of this
part of our constitution, will be in the
present Investigation is only probmeti-
cal, but he will certainly be most in
terested observer If no more. There
may be trouble at any time with the
personnel of that body, but it will be
long time before the people of Vir-
sinia will surrender a part OF their
organic law which in the short time it
has been in effect has done so much
real good to the State, even though
this investigation might discredit some
individuals connected with it.

There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's SWamn-
koot' the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in The
back, Kidneys, liver, bladder and every part
OF the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and ,scalding pain in passing

wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 90 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night The mild and the extra

realized. It stands the highest for its won
