The Indianapolis journal., 1899-11-27

Hon..Carl Schurz, has also been the most
persistent proclaimer of the corruption of
our politics and the rottenness of our civil
service. Those who make these charges
generally attribute the alleged rottenness
in our public service to American greed
and love of money, and they aver that the
alleged superior honesty of European
statesmen is due largely to the fact that
the worship Of the almighty dollar does not
prevail there as II does here.
The history OF the United States from the
foundation of the government to the pres
ent time does not furnish an instance of
political corruption in high places one-tenth
part as scandalous as the two just re-
ported from Europe. one from Russia and
the other from Germany. NJ. De Witte. Rus
sian minister of finance, a trusted coun-
selor of the Car and regarded as the lead
ing fnancier of Europe. has been found to
have been manipulating the Stock Ex-
change to his personal advantage. and the
dispatch adds: Several high financiers and
officials are said to be implicated The
disgraced minister attempted TO commit
prosecuted. The case reported from Ger
many Is even more scandalous. The chief
of the Colonial Department is found to be
in a corrupt deal by which enormous con-
cessions of land in the German-African
possessions have been made to a wealthy
syndicate for a mere song. The details of
the transaction show it TO have been of
the most corrupt and scandalous nature.
In both of these cases high officials are in
volved. 1t is as if our secretary of the treas
ury should make use of his position to in
fiuence the price of government bonds in
which he was speculating, or as if our
secretary or assistant secretary of state
should, for a bribe. make to some syndi-
cate concessions of great value in Porte
Rico or the Philippines. No American Sec
retary of the treasury has ever beef
charged with speculating while in office
| and no high official of the government ha:
| ever betrayed his trust Foreign critics Of
| our public service and public men had bet
| ter look at home.

THE END OF AGuINALDo.

The latest advices from Manila clearly
indicate that Aguinaldo's government has
gone to pieces. a large part of his Cabinet
has surrendered. the ablest member of 1t
being a close prisoner in Manila. His con-
gress has scattered. and those who held
local offices under him have surrendered
and are seeking reappointment. Aguinaldo
himself may escape, because his associates
have been sacrificed in order that he might
get out Of the way. He is simply fugitive,
seeking escape. A small body of insurgents
south of Manila, in Cavite. seem not to
have heard of the misfortunes of their lead
er and await a practical demonstration OF
the presence and purpose of the Americans.
1t is believed that small bands of guerril-
las may give some trouble, but as soon as
the confidence of the natives shall be at
tained, IL will not be difficult to repel those
who make war upon the security and prop
erty of the people.

alize the nature of the hardships which the
troops that vanquished Aguinaldo have un-
dergone. Without waiting for the end of

POLITICAL PURITY IN AMERICA AND
EUROPE.

Two cases of gross corruption and mall
feasance in high office reported from
Europe call for more than passing notice.
European enemies of republican government
and critics OF our institutions have had a
great deal TO say about the rottenness OF
American public life. Taking as a text one
or two scandals that occurred a long time
ago they assume that dishonesty and cor
ruption are the normal condition OF our
public men and public service. AT the same
time. by implication or in express terms
they claim that the Public service of Euro
pean countries Is conspicuously free from
the corruption and scandals which they at
tribute to that OF the United States. Many
American citizens Of foreign birth seem to
have brought these ideas with them from
the old country, and are always ready to
join In attacking our civil service. The fore

AN UNACCOUNTABLE PHENOMENON


Many of those who read the account of the
expose OF the Franklin syndicate of Brook
lyn, N. Y, will remark to themselves "the
fools are not all dead" They will wonder
how fairly intelligent people could be de-
luded into the belief that any money could
be SO invested as to pay 10 per cent. interest
a week. Yet they will recall the fact that
hundreds of sensible people about Indian
apolis were victimized by a similar device.
The Franklin syndicate is nearly as reason
able scheme as was the Iron Hall, which
promised to double the investors money in
a given time. Not hundreds, but thousands
of people were victimized by the Iron Hall
when they knew that its officers did not
invest it's funds in any stocks or other en-
class of so-called investment which promises
