The Age Of Graft.

In the news FROM Nenezuela 1t was
stated that President Castro had re-
ceivcd a rnke-off of two ami a half
million dollars for agreeing u pay GER
tain bonds held by citizens OF Germany.
and England-bond that were thought
to be entirely worthless. .s 3'sl
We dislike to decry AMI 8dlsparage our
own day and generation, but was there
ever before such &aneNage OF graft? It
does seem tina all classes, from the least
to the greatest, now consider 1t entirely
legitimate and honest to take 4 trake-
Off whenever 1t can be taken. The
New York Evening Post recalls that 1t
came out in an investigation of ths pol
soning Of Mrs. Stanford that one Of her
servants received over $4,000 In commits
sions from tradesmen. In commenting
on the fast, a resident Of New York
remarked that probably the head SER
wants in most wealthy families are taxi
ing similar commissions. "a friend OF
mine,' said he, "tells me his cook gets
So a month from the butcher and tho
grocer and his coachman enjoys a rake
off on all supplies ordered for the sta
blcs. Such pcrquisites are regarded MS a
matter of course. The servant counts
upon them as a legitimate addition to
wages, and the employer, If he wishes
! to avoid trouble. Is conveniently blind to
this form Of pllferlng.
| The Evening Post refers also to the
fact developed IN Mrs. Chadwick's case
that She made inroads upon certain banks
and got money which belonged to the de-
! positors because she paid liberal com-
! missions to officers or the bank.
| In politics graft is too often the Office
| holders stock In trade. Members Of
1 COUNCILS fatten on 1t, and, worse than
all, there are many people who think that
1t is entirely legitimate. Circuit Attor-
ney Folk, OF st. Louis. said In our pres
ence that litter complaint was made
against him by respectable citizens for
| prosecuting the iboodlcrs in that city, on
the ground that 1t had been going OH
for SO long a timc that the people had

4 members OF the Legislature took graft

many people is: what is there in It fol

known by managers of corporations
that shares of stock standing in the

administrator makes an assignment of
the same the tax should be paid to
the state treasurer before the trans

corporation liable for the tax. You
will find this provision in section IA,
