Washington, D. C., March 13.—The republican majority in congress is about to inaugurate a farcical inves- tigation of trusts. The move is made so that it eut off any honest, determined effort to get at the remedy for oppressive trust evils, and for the purpose of hoodwinking the public When Chairman Ray of the house judiciary resolution for the appointment of a Special committee to investigate the trusts, many a statesman in the house winked at many another states- may committee man. Who will be associated with Mr. Ray in his “investigation” is not yet known further than that all of the “ of the judiciary committee, with the prospects, curiously that Judge DeArmond, one of the ablest lawyers in the house and democratic member of the committee will not be placed on the special com- mittee. Norisit known when and where the committee will begin its work. Representative Ball of Texas, introduced a resolution calling for the appointment of aspecial commit- tee to regulate the trust question, investigators” will be membe enough, and from the mass of bills on the sub ; ject already sleeping in various com- mitees, formulate some measure wherewith to remedy the evils of the | trust. But Mr. Ball is a democrat, and therefore his proposal is inex- eusably impertinent. It is, of course, expected that the Ray committee will find it convenient to indefinitely ex- tend its investigation beyond this session of congress and even beyond the presidential campaign. A report presumably will be made at the next session, and it will be only a mani- festation of human nature if ite char- my acter is more or less determined by he election. Mr. Livington of Georgia, who is introduced a | leading | amember of the farcial industrial on, is anxious to get on Mr. committee, that what he has learned of the trust as a commis: | Rays believing amber of the indrustrial commis- | ; : ne | mi mbes sce for his charities and that the offer ' sion would be one of value tothe “in- |. | - Se O | will be accepted. | vestigaters,”” but Mr. Livington is /not a member of the judiciary com- | He Fooled the Surgeons. mittee, and therefore he would not} All doctors told Renick Hamilton, know a trust if he should meet it in | Of West Jefferson, Ohio, after suffer- jing 18 months from Rectal Fistula | the road | Ray’s request that the membership | of the special committee be confined to the judicary committee is most | nthe. world.
