I t s potwr in felt in viry part of the boily politic. Its inxidioiiti irdiufficps are all pTVaeiv. It is gilded dirthonebty. lis liHiiefl.'iariert are not eX'Ktly rrceivers of Htoh'ti g'tods, in th- slrici legal sense tf f. h e word. They arc, however, the rw-jpients of money or oiher valuables for whifh they havr given no consideration, but in letuin for which the.v are under obligations to gi ve compensation that will be of Kreat value fi the donors, re gardless of puhln; interests. Concrete iutttatiivs of raft are constantly in evidence. An cnterprisina; member of ihe State Legislature iiirroo duces a bill which would com ie h corporation to do cer tain things which would prove very costly to it. He withdraws his bill or secretly permits it to be d deatej in consideration of a sum of moi.ey. That is "graft" of one Kind. A few years ago the City Council of Chicago, the City Council of Philadel phia and the Legislature id Perm, practically gave away valuable public frarnhiies. The political rinas in thetwo cities which directed ami con trolled th' ai t ion nf the conn cils, profited in hard cash by the betrayal of public inter est. This was "graft" of a kind that flourished without effective public rebuke f o r many years. A candidate for "lection to the United Stats Senate, as has happened sey eral times in the Western States, di'l not have enoimh votes to elecr. (Vrtaiil of hi political opponents-. in the Legislature realizing that they could not choose one of their political faith, convinc ed themselves that it was for the interest of the State that the .candidate of the other party should be "hosen. It is alleged that cash proceeded conviction. This is"grafty, of the most aggravated kind. A few months ago there was an epqniry in New York into the methods of certain insurance companies. It was disposed that more than $1. 000,000 bad been spent in influencing the action of mem hers of the various State Legislatues. This was the dangprotis and insidious graft which would undermine the security of the citizen for the selfish purpose of graft' Men of national reputation were kept on the salary list of these companies foi perfor ming service of wlti.-h there was neitb- r evidence nor rec, od; ; If i''irt not graft w ha t if a i t ? v , . . '.",7 It is timeless to nitiltlply in stances of graft for there have been almost innnmera ble examples in the last few years What is necessary is to mouse the public con si Jence to a realization of the demoralizing influence of grafting. There is petty graft and big graft There is t h e graft national. theHt ate graft an I the graft municipal. It is not neivHsarily official for ihe grafter in priyate life has abundant opportunities. In one case of graft, maybe the leviing of tribute or black uiiil-in the other case it mavhethe bold accepts nc o a bribe. It may tn a "rake off" on a contract, it may b a division of the spoils. In whatever 'orm it manifests itself, however whet her as toil 01 corruption, money, or briiiery or as payment for in fluence, or for the defeat or passage of legislation it is utterly and uuresevedly tiad arid vicious and deinorahz ing. In ifs;.east tiffetisive rnamfestations.as well as it grossest it is' inconsistent with lionesty und public good. It ought not to be tol crated for a moment by men of integrity in private life or by honest men inpuhlie or semi public stations. Toitu re By Savages.

Kidney trouble haa ' become to prevalent that it ia not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with eak kidney-. Iftha child urinates toooftcn, if the urine acalda the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an ne wh:a it should be able to control the passage, It ia yet afflicted with bed-wet-ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant : 'rouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys aud bladder and not to jt . habit as most people suppose.
