The Work or the Department Of Justice.
The department of justice is that depart
ment to which is intrustod the detection of
frauds, the punishment OF villainy, and the
enforcement of those legislative provisions
withoutwhic the election laws are mockery,
a delusion, and snare. On tlis department
there is concentrated the fire Of every assocla-

the people. 1t is the duty of the forces under
the command Of tho attorney general to do
