tprly he mourned his loss, attributing all
to his own headlong stupidity and selfish
disregard of others feelings. He-as his
nature was-went from one extreme to
the other, burnt the Inflated books. broke

the unknown future. 1t was long time,
even with his temperament. before his
buoyant spirits reasserted themselves, and
then their tone was changed indeed. He
now never alluded TO his former passion.
and, although he remained the same dar-
ing, ardent spirit, his impulses fell more
under his control, and he became a more
dutiful son, a more considerable brother.

The Grants have a striking family

The Grants have a striking family
resemb lance. The examination of Orville
Grant must be enough to disgust every
decent American man. 1t is not that the
testimony shows the president to have
received money for his patronage. or even
tends as strongly in that direction as the
Black Friday $4,000 which Mr.. Garfeld's
vote prevented from being traced into the
White House. That humiliation may be
in store for us, but it has not come yet
publicly. What is known is that the
president of the United States not merely
allows but encourages his relatives to trade
upon his great office; that his brother has
gone into the business of dispensing
patronage upon the capital of his brother
hood, just as Corbin went into the gold
pool with Fisk and Gould on the same
capital. This is all, but is it not enough
1t is possibly not improbable, though inn
peachable matter may come out OF it. 1t
is perfectly possible that when the presi-
dent wrote to his brother that there were
some traderships falling in, and that he
had better look out for them, it did not
occur to him that he was doing anything
wrong. This is not improbable, but il
shows the man who did it to be low
sordid, thick skinned kind of mantle
soul of q peddler in the place of the presi
dent. A president who could do such 9
thing and appreciate it would be great
scoundrel; president who could do i
without feeling the indecency of it, must b.
a moral rhinoceros.

responsible for the conduct Of its members
in Office. and party justly forfeits power
when the officers whose character it
guaranteed by electing or appointing them
disgrace themselves and it by scandalous
malversation. 1t does not answer at all to
pretend that their isolated acts" and 'sin-
dividual weakness" entail no consequences
which reach beyond themselves.
In the present shocking case, which fills
the whole country with disgust and in
dignation, the blame, to be sure, lies
primarily upon Secretary Belknap, but it is
justly shared by President Grant and by
the party which gave political bonds for
the purity of President Grants admins
tration. 1t is preposterous to whine about
the injustice of other people suffering for
crimes not their own when it lies in the
very nature of free government that a
| political party stands in the relation OF
bondsmen for the officers it puts in power,
and that the condition of the guarantee is
political forfeiture if the officers fail in their
duty. 1t remains fer the people of the
United States to declare. by the regular
method of elections, that the Republican
party has Justly incurred this forfeiture
It will not do to make a scapegoat of
Belknap nor even of President Grant. The
Republican party is responsible for both Of
them and for multitude Of other officers
who have abused their trust and disgraced
their country. Senator Cameron's indig-
nant criticisms of the president are only
half just. 1t is true enough, as Mr..
Cameron alleges, that the president has
| caught up obscure men of no politica
standing and foisted them into the highes,
positions from mere personal favortism
But how has he been able to do this wher
the senate holds check on all his appoint
ments? The answer is easy and it lay
bare the core of the present hideou
corruption. The Republican senators hav,
assumed, as one of their rights, to contro
the chief federal appointments in their owr
states-that is. they tell the president
whom they want appointed to this O
that Office, and he complies with theil
wishes. But he complies on this under
stood condition: that they are not to vot
against the confirmation of his favorite
for offices which he wishes to fill himself
The natural fruit of this log rolling arrang
ment by which part of the offices ar
farmed out in order that the presiden
may have complete control of others, is tn
revolving corruption which pervades ever
department of the public service. Instea
Of the joint action OF the president an
senate, which the constitution contemplate
and caution requires, the rule is kept i
form but violated in substance, and tn
president and each Republican senate
> has bundle of appointments which h
virtually makes according to his ow
: pleasure. 1t is futile and ridiculous I
contend that the whole Republican party
not responsible when all its chief membe,
have sel6shly contributed to build up tn
6 system which has covered the admin:
. tration with disgrace. T. Herald.
