For four or Ave years 1t has been notorl-
Gus In the army that the post tradershlps wero
corruptly farmed out. The result has been the
charging Of extoftionate prices for everything
the soldiers bought, since the trader had to
make enough to paw himself handsome profit
and In addition the great sum he was obliged to
give TO get and keep his place. Yet, though this
gross corruption has been common talk In tho
army, GRANT has steadily turned deaf ear to
the loud compl Ants OF the abuse II he had
really wished a pure administration he could
have brought BELKSAP to punlshm ent Ave yea
ago, when the facts of the sale OF the leadership
at Fort Sill were made known by officers OF the
Tenth Cavalry. This Is only one OF those suffer-
ships sold. There are a score OF them to be
farmed out In the same way.

All men ought to have found out by this
time that It is never safe, either for public
functlonary or private individual, to do wrong.
IL Is never safe TO indulge In swindllng, cheat
ing, or bride taxing. 1t Is never cafe to practise
corruption, any kind or degree OF 1t. II Is never
safe TO indulge in falsehood, any sort Of It. 1t
is never safe to do anything which would bring
shame to the doer by being revealed. One may
fancy bis misdeeds can't be found out, or have
been covered up, or can be so covered; OF that
they can be denied or explained away so that
people will be deceived about them but yet 1t
remains true that there can be no safety for the
wrong door, and no security against his ex-
posure. Though this look hard to some people,
II Is nevertheless In accordance with the lxed
and ireversible moral law Of things and OF be-
ing. Tue only safety for a man, or for woman,
lie in refralnng from wrong and in doing right.
Even In old times, at the very beginning OF
human history, It was said, BE sure your sins
will find you out"

Suppose BELKNAP instead Of confessing,
had followed BAHcocK's ana BEEcsrRs plan Of
stoutly denying the whole thing and using every
legal device TO keep out the evidence against
him. He would have had party on his side,

The judiciary Committee of the Assem-

The judiciary Committee of the Assem-
bly, made 4 ridiculous botch OF their investiga-
ton concerning the lobby. They seem to have
been afraid OF such experienced adopts In the
purchase and sale OF members OF sundry Legis-
latures as A. ID. BARBER, ABE VAN NECHrEN, and
ED PHELPS. The committee shrank from cali
ing them by name, aud even touched their vo-
cation rather gingerly. That would be an absurd
indictment for larceny which omitted the name
OF the thief, and only referred TO him as a-no-
torious person" Yet this Is Just what the Ju-
dietary Committee did In Its abortive produc-
ton. Does the Legislature expect to drive the
hardened leaders of the lobby out Of Albany by
peltng them with soft grass like this The
committee are the laughing stock OF the state.

A CENTENNIAL DOCUMENT.

A lady OF this city has been kind
enough to hand us copy of the Ulster
Gazette, published at Kingston, n V,
on the 4th day Of January, 1900. The
paper is in mourning in respect for the
memory of Gen. WASHINGTON, who
had died in December previous. 1t con-
tains the proceedings of Congress in re-
lation to this mournful event, as we'll as
the message of the Elder ADAMS, who
was then President. The paper says
that the announcement OF WASH1SG.

Mr.. MARSHALL, who, "wlth deep sorrow
