The Man who Unearthed the Wbiskey Frs-da
Removed-Tbe President in Eject Pro-
claiming Let All Guilty Men Escape"
WAsHINGToN June 29.-It has not been
a matter Of onjecture that with the departure
Of Secretary Bristow the President was resolved
to remove from ONCE everybody who in the
slightest degree contributed to the prosecution
Of the crooked whiskey distiers and their con-
federates. 1t will not be forgotten how many
times the President used the Associated Press
to convey to the country denials Of statements
made In THE SUN OF dsaereements In the Cabi-
net, nor has It escaped public criticism that II
accepting the resignation OF Secretary Bristow
the correspondence between the President and
Brlstow has not been given to the country. AZ
last the time has arrived when the President
no longer cares to conceal his hatred
Of the smasher OF the whiskey Ring
the Secretary, who brought the cry OF reform
into the Executive Mansion aud the Associated
Press Is no longer required to cover unpleasant
truths promulgated through the independent
press. To-dt the President demanded, through
Acting Secretary Conant, the peremDtory resig.
nation OF III. T.. faryan, Chief OF the Internal
Revenue Special Agents, who has for over q
year had charge Of the most important division
of the Internal Revenue Burenu. Yaryan was
Brisiows right-hand man In unearihing whiskey
thieves aud frauds and by his energy and INTEL
liEence had done more than any other ohcer OF
the Government to bring about the great re-
form.
Knowing that when he went out Of the Cabinet
Yaryan would certainly be dismissed, Bristow
wrote MIN the following let.cr:

With such record the President would not
be diverted from his purpose. Twice before he
demanded Yaryan's :remova and Bristow de.
clared that II II was Insisted upon he too would
resign, and give the reasons why. Even the
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue was power
less, and though he urged the Importance Of re-
tanning Yaryan for only ten days, that the books
and other records OF his division might be prop
erly arranged and transferred to hts SUCCESSOR.
the President replied " lie must and shall va
cate the once TO morrow, or Will put some one
| the Commissioner represent that to oxpei
Yaryan In that way would be to invite imnedi-
ate frauds among dealers In distilled spirits, foe
the details OF the ONCE were necessarily conf
| dental, and II would take some days to acquaint
new man with the particulars. The President
said that Yeryan's prosecutions had been ma
| llcious, and his seizures, In many Instances, un-
jus!; 49,.
| first made apparent, he was requested by Bris-
tow 20 ID AXE specinc charges against him. The
President repned tnat IL was not necessary. Ills
| friends complained Of Yaryans conduct and
| that was sufficient. Bristow then SAID that he
| would leave the Cabinet rather than have such
| imputations made upon an ofhcer whose acts ho
| most - luivocally endorsed. Yaryan was sent
| for by tn. President, and the charge Of mali
| cious prosecution was made. Yaryan boldly
| declared, MIR. President, name my accuser, and
| Will tell you the secret OF their opposition te
me. II 1t IL Senator ; rgent, II Is because

| the nest OF reasons why they hate me. Is it
| either OF these 2" asked Yaryan. The President
| made no reply except that he must conhne his
| laoors entirely to the routine OF his once.
| Thus has the President endeavored to atone
| for the acts Of nts executive officers by pro-
claiming, Let every guilty man escape"
