Party Politics and the Whisky
Frauds.

The whisky frauds on a longer
acquaintance smell pretty strong of
politics. 1t was the officials who were
appointed to Offices as political agents,
and whose conception of their duty
was "to beat Schurz," who were so
fearfully remiss at ST. Louis, and it
was the necessity Of heavy "contribu-
tions" to the party chest that first
suggested an easy way of reimburse
ment. They now have the eilrontery
to excuse their conduct by the fact that
they did "beat Schruz," but Secretary
Bristow doesn't take that view of it,
and has directed the prosecution of
the corrupt officials and of their
bondsmen, as well as active processes
against the whisky men themselves
and the forfeiture of their distilleries.
The penalties of the law, we are
promised, will be exarted to the full.
Administration politics" are also
curiously apparent in the revocation
by President Grant Of The order
shifting the supervisors about from
one section Of the country to another.
Commissioner Douglass is able to
show that he first recommended this
move in a letter to Mr. Bristow, who
approved Of it and issued the neces-
sary orders, which the law devolyes
upon the secretary Of the treasury in
such cases. Thereupon some of the
western officers, backed up by con-
gressmen, 5esiegeG the president to
override the finance minister and his
subordinate. The shifting of super
visOrs was therefore blocked by the
president On the other hand, it is
charged against Douglass that little
comparison Of the schedules returned
to his own office would have disclosed
| fraud.
The fact is probably that Douglass
did not maintain great enthusiasm
in the more difficult duties of his
office, when he was thus directly
crossed by the president. While
some Of his measures to detect fraud
were thus frustrated at the White
House, he naturally neglected others
that were in his power. The presi-
dent, as has SO often been the case,
was used by his political friends"
to prevent disclosures of fraud, which
are now, we presume, the occasion of
much rather torpid self-congratulation
on his part. And he will be just as
ready to condone and cover up the
corrupt practices of the next party
of friends" who descend upon him.
There must be ultimately n civil
service r, form, and it will not consist
so much in making sure that APP
puintces to Office have mastered the
curriculum of the common schools,
as in breaking up the distribution of
Offices as "a congressional perquiSite
and reward for partisan and personal
services, and in abolisbing their
administration as political machinery
with which To serve and psrpetuate
one party and to beat the other

Quite a number Of seats were reserved at
McClUTe'S yesterday for Miss Anna F.
DickinsOn's lecture tonight. She will
doubtless draw a crOWdcdhUuse on her first
appearance, and, if cur Southern exchanges
ara to be taken as a guide, she will have a
still larger attendance the second night.
Her promised advent is the all-absOrbing
topic in fashionable and literary circles.
She comes to us fresh from an extensive
Southern tour, which has been marked
with UumistaEable success all along the
Southern line. At Savannah the people
were lavish with urgent invitations, and
upon the occasion of her third appearance
she was greeted 10y an overwhelming
audience, prominent among whom was
Gen. Joseph F.. Johnston auI other celeb
rites. Al Atlanta, last Monday night, the
large audience that had assembled to hear
her remained standing in the spacious
Opera House ard gave vent 10 their eut.u-
siasm and delight 10y continued applause,
which lasted some time, and the people
crowded about her carriage TO urge her to
remain another night In a lengthy editO-
rial comment, the editor Of the atlanta
Commonwealth says:
Miss Dickinson tells us that the pure
soul of her heroine was SO filled with its
patriotic devotion to God aDd her native
land that she was inspired with a heavenly
faith and wisdom. As she said this we
wondered if her w~arm-hearted, true devO-
ton to the mind and genius and soul Of
woman, she herself had not been imbued
with a something like inspiration which
had enabled her TO dive down into the
misty and mythic depths of the four hun
dred years ago, and lift from its ~shadOWy
place the brightest Of wOmanly names.
Ii may have been this, or it may have
been only the native truth and vigor Of
her mind that warmed up with the earnest
ness Of her story and unclaimed the ears
and hearts Of her hearers. Be it what il
may, the story she told was listened to by
one Of the most fastidiOus and largest
audiences we have ever seen at a lecture in
Atlanta, with an eagerness and tender re-
spect that We have never before witnessed.
Miss Dickinson may well he proud Of
her triumph.
Miss DicklnsOu's grand historical repre-
santa,ion Of Joan If Arc, which will be
given tonight, is REGARDED as The crowling
effort Of her life. In 10 she displays ler
wonderful dramatic ability, which has fire.
duently given currency to the report that
She will soon appear on the stage.
The sale Of seats IS progressing satisfac-
torily at Mcclure 81 Bros music store,
