UNDER THE FRAUDU-
LENT ADMINISTRATION.
The Marvellous Displays Of an Assistant
Postmaster-General.
TWashington Sentinel

SO much has been said about the shameless
display Jim Tyner, Assistant Postmaster
General, makes uf his corruDt practices. 1t
would be interesting to know the exact num-
Der Of horses his stud consists Of and how
many carriages he keeps In order to main
tain a style OF living In keeping with his OFF,
cial dignity. Jim was called Judge when he
was In Congress few years ago. Now he is
called general, but when he was breyetted no
one OF our acquaintance can inform us. We
knew something OF Jim Tyner when he was
In Congress and had 10 live on Congress
mans pay. 1t was shortcomings with him
then, and he hadsto scratch IT, make both ends
meet. Indeed, he was content then to "gruo

house. He did not affect style then, or regard
Ii as necessary to bis congressional dignity to
keep q fine stud of horses and own number
OF expensive carriages. Indeed, he used to
deadr cad 1t on the street cars.
Thinga have changed since then with Jim
Tyner. Ii liz true he Is only Assistant POST
master General, getting about hall the pay
of Congressman. Still, his genius for po-
litical economy ID such that on SO small q
salary he manages to live In elegant apart
meptS at tirst-cass hotel. and his turn-Out

carriage horses and his trotting horses, his
elegant satin-iined heavy carriage, his coupe,
his Brewster buggies and his gold-mounted
harnesses. The best Of 1t is, he would have

driver In livery, ts the property OF the de-
partment, and Intended Tor ErrlnR Brother
Key to ride in. Erring Brother Key does,
we are sorry to say, ride In it once In while,
and feels hattered at the compliment paid
him by his most INSCRIPTIONS assistant.
Jims style and establishment must cost him
at least $4,000 year; but his knowledge Of
political economy Is 80 perfect that he man

aside on salary Of $500.
When John Andrew jackson Cresweli was
