Tbere is world of meaning in this modern and convenient term) v It ia synonymous of a hundred crime and misdemeanors and a vary complexity of reproach, the chiefest of which, ft if exceedingly hard to deter Wine, ., r,v , Primarily, of course, it ttanda lot theft, deliberate, skilful, well-gloied theft j theft artistic, scientific; refined, delicate, tender-handed yet full handed, theft; theft bold, coarse, inconsiderate jtnd of amaiing audacity, but theft always.-' . .,,''"' .,-,,, .. , . Concurrently the cult embraces all the hatity wtieoimuitautii of deceit, fraud, false-pretense, lying, bribery, forgery, record-tampering, every trick sanction ed by dishonor and prompted by self security. It is without limit of any sort whatever as to leaguery personnel, means, objective, achievement, and re source of action. It never distinguishes the poor man's money from that of the rich man; money, God's, Man's AXI) .the Devil's, is the one, simple purpose if graft and the grafter spurns every thing on the hither, side of it with a thode, and all things too clean for sub in its flagrant uniformity. Organization is its cardinal principle, with sacred silence as its close fellow; its ramifications are endless, safety be ing the only line of demarcation; its active doctrine is the removal of impe diments, such as people, motives, me thods, and all things too clean ftr sub stantial safety tfnd constant contact; it has no peculiar habitat, it enters every Held where money circulates and-flourishes where the circulation is the greatest; it scruples at nothing but scruples and halts only at the bar of the law, but not until it haa exhausted itself in trying to leap even that; it operate on no especial lines, and noth ing is too sanctified for it invasion nor too tender for its despoiling touch; the courts are its play-ground and legal processes its relaxation; false swearing is the acme of its arts, and subornation of perjury the chiefest of its graces; it victimizes the living, the dying and the very dead and no known thing in human compass between the cradle and the grave is free from ita polluted try- out; it ia no local evil; it is stater wide, national, universal, and the bit terest, most dangerous, feature of it all is the common, unrealizing, temporizing, cowardly acceptation of it, everywhere. For supreme audacity, openness adroitness and scope of graft, this coun try is conceded to be in the lead, and the proof , piles up hourly and every where In support of the questionable distinction. There is no fiction in the premise; it is adamantine fact, without a saving shadow of ambiguity or plau- Bible doubt. We are IT. The fabric of our governmental, political, business life is honeycombed to the core; and we stand self -exploited, and apparently, un ashamed. Nor are we but sacrificing com mercial honor and lowering every stand ard that was once our" boast; we are yielding, all too readily, our anchorhold of patritism, than which we can do no more utter thing nor one more fearfully charged with danger to the land and the peope thereof. The damnable truth of this crops out on all sides, stares us out of counten ance, compels our thought and arouses our anxiety; but few, if any, attempts are made to create popular and ag gressive sentiment against the dreadful conditions, deepening, growing, looming by the sheer indifference of every agency that might contribute to it elimination. We have become so used to the name and game that we actually By Representative PHILIP P. CAMPBELL of Kansas, VERY business man reulkcs that the prosperity of the couir try is threatened by the panics in Wall street due, to th manipulation of STOCK UAMBLEUS. The hue and cry that is rawed every time there ia a slump in the stock market causes a feeling of apprehension that makes capital timid aud thus DISTURBS THE GENERAL BUSINESS SITUATION. It is in this way that aueh panics become a positive monnee to the COUNTRY'S welfare.. I shall go over the interstate acts for the pur pose of ascertaining if there is not some law that will put an end to tremendous camblinff operations in New York. It seems to me there ought to bo legislation that will prevent stock operators from gam bling in the SECURITIES OF COMMON CARRIERS that trans jport interstate commerce. I - sll do not know that there is any such law, and if uot congrws should enact one." If the situation cannot bo reached entirely by the federal government congress should CO-OPERATE WITH TEfi STATES in reaching it. ,'"',': S , ;- 8TATI IEGISUATURES CAN ENACT LEGISLATION THAT WILL PREVENT THE MAINTENANCE OP.

From Minneapolis, to far Key West, from Bangor, hither, the country is grid- ironed with shamaful records of this foul thing; and the word ha gone to the world's end, that we are it most devoted votaries and ita most exput. Surely we have some recourse of salva tion and the time is propitious for its use, unless, indeed, we are lower than we think and vitally amenable to the desperate culmination that lie in the non-resistant, apathetie attitude we have assumed this relation. Public indifference to crime become an elemental part of the crime if it is permitted to run the length, and in the matter under treatment, it has about reached the last limit of indulgence!
