enough TO appreciate the infamous

would stay at home aud not "make a

Will Mr.. HsristOw. Please Explain

Mr- Bristow owes it TO himself and
his friends to make some answer to
the recent letter of Messrs. &. w.
Onrant ~ Son. charging him with in
justice and tavoritsm in relation to
certain drawbacks on refined sugar.
That letter has been before the public
for more than a week. The facts al.
legged contained in it were among the
grounds Of the blackballing of Mr..
Bristow at the Union League Club
some days earlier; but as yet he has
suffered the matter to pass without
notice.
The charge is irnadc explicitly that
during the month of November last
MIR. Bristow allowed one firm of sugar
refners in New York and several 9TH
er such firms in Boston drawback of
three and three quarters cents per
pound on expectations OF refined
sugar, whereas he refused to allow to
the Messrs. Durant more than three
cents per pound or expectations of
precisely the same article. The resal,
has been a loss to them OF the differ
ence Of three quarters of a cent per
pound, which they mast cit her suffer
or only recover by tedious and expe! =
sive litigation
Mr.. Br'stow enjoys the reputation
OF beng Pa honest man in money
matters, and this has beer great
Recommendation Ct him to the public
as candidate for President but the
Chief Magistrate OF the natios must
be something more than simply not Il
thief. He must be sufficiently able
and impartial to do justice to ali class
es of citizens without fear or favor.
It the story of the Duranls is tue,
MIR. Bristow is lacking in this respect.
He is either incapable of seeing. ~ hat
his duty Is, or else he is too wilfnl and
arbitrary to fulfil it. Let us by all
means hear what he has to say on the
subject. N Y ,Sun.

The Secretary Of the Navy I'M
dertakes in his letter to the chairman
of the House Naval Committee. to
make it appear that the experiments
made by the guns Of the cratic Wizard
were of great benefit to the country.
ne Secretary knows that all the cap
ital he can make for Wizard will be for
his own advantage, aud so he holsters
his late fayprlte with vague general
tiles, But, if pressed for specifications,
he woulG find it hard to put his finger
on the benefits that have accrued or
could have accrued from WARDS ex
periments. 1t was emphatically proved
that his guns would burst, for they
did burst at great expense to the gov
eminent, and many unnecessary thou
sands were paid this hungry specula-
tor for patents that could not be used
in the navy. That the results of the
experimenting "were very remarka-
Bile" will not be denied; but every one
of these results swelled the already
outgrown naval appropriations, and
left this branch of the national service
worse off than it was before. OF ,he
considerations which made it possible
for MIR. Wizard to explode so many
worthless guns at government expense
the less said the better. Nv. WARDS
sudden departure in search OF new
. worlds to conquer showed that he cou-
side'ed the subject too delicate to be
openly discussed. Will Mr.. Robson
now tel. us what the Cartells have
been worth to the country?

Republican professions of reform are but
mere words. Until Democratic House was
elected, no honest efforts were made TO un.
cover the dishonesty and corruption that has
been discovered in government circles. But
TOR thai ma jority in the House, investigations
would be stiiled, and whitewash literally APP
piled as in 1872 and 1874. A change is need
cd in the country, and to make it effective il
must be radical. fountain cannot rise H.
boye its source, and men chosen to Office BY
the Republican party cannot be expected to
