The following good story of the Emperor
William is related by the Berlin correspondent of
the Boston Post: " Last year, while hunting in
SiIesia with the Duke of Meckienburg and the
King of Saxony, the aged Kaiser proposed return
ing to their castle on foot, but soon becoming
weary of the walk. he hailed a passing wagon and
requested the driver to take them home. The
peasant complied but could not long restrain his
curiosity, and remarked: 4 suppose it is all
right, and you look all right, but will you please
tell ME who you are? L am the Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg.' 'Oho-O-oT exclaimed the lustic;
and who are you? 8 am the King of Saxony'
'0ho, ahem r. calculated their driver; and you,
mister who ynu% / am the Emperor There,
that will DO, my friends, grinned the peasant; and
dare say you would ike 10 know who I am. am
the Shah ofPersia, and when it comes TO joking
can take my part as well as the next man The
three sOvereigns were convulsed with laughter,
but the peasant drew a long face when he found
that he had been the only joker

TrUmps the trick of honest Jcems.'
1t now appears that the wonderful
engraved device, of which there is only
one in existence" and which, after use,
is to be kept in the custody of the equally
wonderful Postmaster-General(' ('' the only
one in existence ~, is an old invention.
The facts, plainly told, are as follows:
Some six years ago, as Il means Of pre-
venting the possibility of the putting
in Of proposals after the lettings had been
closed, the Second Assistant Postmaster
General procured, or caused to be pro-
cured, from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing the original of the device in
question; and the plan of thus stamping
proposals was then inaugurated.
For stamping the proposals of each
subsequent letting new device-en-
graved, like the preceding one, at the
Government estabiishment-was used
and being Of fine lathe-work, and of diff
ferent design each time, it was not possi
bic that it could or would be counter
feited.
1t is further ascertained that the de-
vice, of which there is only one in exis-
tence," and which was used by the Hon
orable Postmaster-G General tthe only one,
&C. quite recently, is the identical device
procured last winter from the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing by Mr..
French, late chief clerk of the
Contract Office, and turned over by
him to his successor the day when the
proposals of the recent letting were
opened. In fact, this alleged great reform
was instituted and carried out by the
lately removed officials. Sorry to spoil
pretty story, Mr.. James, but the truth
must be told. Give us the next original

set who speak most loudly for the Presi-

criminal, they ought to be muzzled. And
if we
g. waive the quantum of the SIM
what can measure the folly of the Kings
courtiers in seeking senatorial votes
through threats or bribes when we con-
slider the embarrassment of the Senators
themselves? How can men who sit where
once sat Webster, Calhoun, Chase, Fes-
sender, and Thurman, and where now
sit Conkling, Edmunds, Hoar, Pendleton,
and Lamar, be cudgeled and shouted at
by the brdwling servants of the Executive

be kept from the guests? If shameful
things must be done, cannot the necessity
for privacy be appreciated by the Presi-

WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE.
The Allegations Against General Brady
Let Es Have Eacfs. Not Rnmors.

1t is alleged that General Brady and
the route contractors raScals who have for
some years been engaged in violating the law and
robbirg the Government by increasing the service
and pay of contracts without inviting bids and by
exceeding the appropriations made by Congress.
Probably there is good ground for the charge. At
all events there is need of thorough investiga-
ton, that if guilty the offenders may be brought
to punishment. But who are the offenders? Who
is responsible if the star-route contracts were
Illegally raised, and if millions were paid to the
contractors without warrant of law? a. Presi-
dent Hayes. If President Garfield deserves credit
for vigilance and honesty in turning Brady out If
Office, President Hayes, vino knew all about the
start route contracts was neglectfu and dishonest
in keeping Brady in Office (2) Postmaster
General Key, the head of Brady's Depart
ment But he insists that the star-route
contracts are all right, that Brady was an
excellent and honest official, and nothing was
done by him in violation of law. If Brady is a
rogue, Key must have been either an assistant or
all ass. 81 Secretary of the Treasury Sherman
As financial chief of the Government he ought TO
have known that the star-route accounts were
largely in excess of the contracts and that money
waS drawn out of the Treasury beyond the amount
of the appropriations, in alleged violation of law
a. The House of Representatives. Its committees
investigated the star-route business and it made
appropriations to cover all moneys expended hy
Brady. II the contracts were fraudulent and the
moneys misappropriated, Garfield and the other
Representatives condUned the frauds and sane
toned the robbery. o. The Senate Appropriation
Committee. That committee acted on the STAR
route appropriations, after they had passed the
House, and were in duty bound to discover ard
check any ilegaiity and fraud. And the Republi-
can members of the Senate Committee on Appro-
pratons, when these alleged Starr route robberies
were condOned and sanctioned, were James G.
