GRAFT.
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 , ;-

use it in humorous sense, with flip
pant fun, and coarse sport.
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!
