FACTS OF THE CASE.

The publication Of the Hepburn
letter reveals II political co-pa' tnpr-
ship existing between the $ andard
Oil Bank and the administration.
The bank WIS the lowest bidder for
the New York Custom-house at
public sale. The property was sold
to the bank for $3,2G5 0O0. In the
agreement Of the sale it was stipu-
lated that the United States gov
ernment should pay "a rental of 4
per cent. on the purchase price
during the time it continued to oc-
cupy the custOm-hOuse. Immediate
ly after the sale the president of the
Standard Oil Bank wrote to Secre-
tary Gage: 1--WE shall make the
above payment of So 265 600 upon the
understanding, of course, that we
are not to be liable for any taxes or
water upon the property so long as
you remain in possession, and the
balance Of $4,000 remains unpaid
and the deed is undelivered. ="
Secretary Gage agreed to this ar
rang ment. The bank paid no city
taxes and received besides a rental
of per cent. from the government.
Moreover, the So 2G5 600 referred to
in the letter to Secretary Gage was
not put into the United States Treas
ury as the law requires. 1t was left
on deposit with the bank; so the
bank had really made no payment
on the purchase. The reason why
Secretary Gage allowed such ad-
vantages to be taken by the bank
was shown in the letter which Mr..
| Hepburn, vice. President or the
bank, wrote to Secre tary Gage and
which has hten published. He re-
minds the secretary that 1--WE also

vulged the secret of the trade, and
the administration is confronted by
the most serious of all questions that
have arisen in these stirring times.
The transaction is of a nature to le-
qutre vigorous action, but in the
face of undeniable facts, no excuse
can be rendered. The blame will
rest where it belongs.
