THE oaio INVESTIGATION
One of the most Interesting: develop
ments In the reform movement that Is
sweeping over the country is the Drake
investigation which is in progress in
Cincinnati. This committee was ap
pointed after much sparring by th?
Ohio democrat io senate. The investi
gation is being conducted by the demo
cratic majority of the committee, as
the republican minority refused to par
ticipate in it. The republfcans gave
as a reason for their refusal to act on
the committee the fact that the demo
cratic senate refused to assent to a gen
era! investigation into municipal af
fairs of the state by a jo'nt committee
of the two houses, as was proposed by
the republican house. The republic
ans took tbis to mean that while the
democrats are willing to investigate
republican Cincinnati they desire to
keep the searchlight fnom being turn
ed on democratic Cleveland. The con
tention of the senate was that the Cin
cinnati investigation was demanded by
the legislative ^legation from that
place, and to load it down with other
investigations would make it impossi
ble for it to be effective. The house
refused 10 join in the matter and the
senate acted independently.
The result has been more than was
expected by the committee. Pay was
struck at its first session when bankers
admitted they had paid large sums of
money to the county and city treasur
ers for the deposit of public funds. Since
then all manner of corruption has been
unearthed. It was thought in the be
ginning that th? investigation would
fail, because of the partizanship shown
in the formation of the committee, but
all, democrats and republicans alike, are
now praising the work being done. The
committee very wi?ely divested the in
vestigation of much of its partisan as
pect by employing as many repub ic
ans as democrats for counsel and ex
perts.
It is said the investigation is likely
to involve Senator Foraker and several
Ohio congressman, and that Mayor
Tom Johnson, of Cleveland, who re
cently succeeded John R McLe?n on
the democratic national committee,
and who is regarded as the leader of his
party in the state, might secure a seat
in the senate as the result of it.
The prognostications for this season's
activities 10 that portion of the north
upon which Skagway is chiefly depend
ent, as outlined briefly by Got. Mcln
nes and J. H. Rogers, White Pass traf
fic manager, both certainly good au
thor! es, are very encouraging. With
the addition of seven new di edges to
those now engaged in the Klondike;
with the entrance of the Guggenheims
in the Atlin country; with the con
struction of the Klondike Mines Rail
way, and with the opening of the
Windy Arm mining district in addition
to the ordinary business ot the Klon
dike, .Atlin and other upper Yukon
camps, and our share of the Tanana
?jlley business, things shoul 1 be doing
in Skagway and vicinity this year.
