Secretary Manning has sent to the
senate the papers relating to the suspeh-
sion of E. w. Braytop, the collector OF
internal revenue for South Carolina, and
McC Cormick, late collector for West
Virginia. This compliance with the
senate request is an afterthought, the
papers having once been refused. A.
cabinet meetingit was decided that
under section 24S of the revised statutes
Secretary Manning is required to re-
port to the senate at any time that body
desires information from him. Mr.. Man.
ming appears. however, to have
compromised the matter with his owl
desires by sending only portion OF thu
evidence demanded, and the most un'
important portion. This course, 1t ii
held, aggravates the contest between
the senate and the executive.

Washington information indicates
that the president has determined in his
own mind that another rascal must go.
Attorney General Garland, democratic
statesman, is the. victim of this conclu-
sion. 1t Is somewhat humiliating that
before year of purity and reform has
passed away the chief legal adviser of
the nation is found with the taint of COR
ruption upon his official garments. He
has recently become the purchaser OF
$500,000 OF Pan-Electric stock and if the
Bell telephone patent is defeated in the
pending contest in which the govern
ment is prominent factor, Mr.. Gar
lands investment will net him several
million dollars. For some time past
leading democratic papers at the east
have been demanding the retirement of
the attorney general from the cabinet
and the president seems TO be slowly
awakening to realization OF the impor-
tance of immediate action. So this par
ticular democratic rascal will probably
have to submit his head to the execu.
toner.
