beautiful purple flower. 1t blooms
in July and August, and is quite
ornamental in comparison to the

it by several corpulent individuals,
who stated that they could diminish
their proportions at leisure at the
rate of 8 or 6 pounds per week. Be-

Revival Of the Whiskey Ring,

When Grant made his deliberate quar-
rel with Bristow, which compelled the
Secretary to throw up the Treasury seals
in disgust, and to retire without even such
regret as was accorded to Bclknap, it was
known that the restoration of the Whis-
key Ring was certain, and that the vicious
influences which had been temporarily
withdrawn from the White House would
now return and revive in all their former
strength.
The Whiskey Ring was one Of the great
pillars of the Republican party. 1t fur
nished most of the money that was used
in the West to promote Grants reelection
By its power Senators and Representatives
were sent to Washington, whose first duty
was to protect frauds on the revenue.
From the White House, through all the
departments and down into the smallest
places, corrupt agents were employed in
this service, so that when Mr., Bristow or
ganized his original movement against the
thieves, he was compelled to seek aid out
side the Treasury and to discard official
correspondence,
So long as Grant thoughts few distillers
and small subordinates might be struck
down, and his ambition for third term
be promoted by pretended zeal for re-
form, he was willing enough to write "Let
no guilty man escape" and to cooperate
with Bristow. But when the work became
serious, and the friends of the President
and tho leaders of the party were found to
be complicated with these frauds, either
as partners with fixed interests, salaried
employees, or retained attorneys, he chang
ed front, and has ever since been the
champion, protector, and defender of the
Whiskey Ring.
1t did not need the adroit arguments Of
Logan, Morton, Cameron, and others like
them, to convince Grant that Bristow' s
reform policy originated in ambition to
get the Republican nomination, and in a
desire to crush out the third term move,
ment by exposing the corruption that
chiefly sustained it. He had personal and
special reasons without any such appeals
to his prejudices but they necessarily for
tilted the direction of his mind and served
to strengthen his purpose.
Hence, the dismissal of Bristow meant
more than mere rupture, for it carried
with it reversal of the policy that had
been pursued by the Treasury, and a Radi-
cal change in the agencies by which it had
been carried out. The removal Of all
Bristow's friends, and of the active pros
ecutors of tho whiskoy thieves, was the
signal for reaction which rehabilitates the
whole crowd, and will release every one o.
them from prison as soon as the election
is over.-N. y Sun.
