tion, when in fact part of them ex-
tended back into that Of your predeces-
sorl Why, sir, that makes your case
worse The bureau of medicine and
surgery deficiency is large, but the more
serious fact is that it could and did ex-
tend through two administrations of
the department, a period of near Y four
years, without detection; but it he
comes more serious, SO far as You are
individually concerned, when the fact
is considered that you had notice, and
took no sufficient action. The infor-
nation upon which | speak was sent
from Washington the l6rh of last
month, by the associated piess, the
same that brings me your letter. The
associated press obtained it's iaf0rma-
ton either in your department CT from
the investigating committee.
A CHARGE OF NEGLECT.
If you were correctly reported you
testified that the total of the suspicious
vouchers discovered SO far was about
$4,000, and the money fraudulently
obtained was in some instances divided
between the watchman in the depart
ment, Carigan, chief clerk, and Kirk
wood, in charge of the accounts. Now
what notice had you, according to the
associated press reports, of your testl-
monyl You received a letter last year
charging Carrigan, one of the parties,
with drunkenness, and after that a man
came to you and told you that Kirk
wood and Carrigan were engaged in
frauds. Did not that put you upon
notice and Investigation You testi-
fed that some inquiry was made and
that your conclusion was that while
there were some suspicious circum-
stances they did not warran6 conclu-
sion Of guilt. After notice, verbal and
in writing, you left the men in office;
you did not bring the frauds to light
nor the guilty parties to punishment
1t was Government Detective Wood
who discovered the frauds, and the as
soclated press report says Wood de-
clarcd lie would have no further deal
lngs with your department, but would
press the investigation before congress.
THE NEXT EXCUSE.
What is your next excuse Worse,
If possible, than all before You say a
large number OF congressman, includ-
ling some gentlemen of great influence
and position, recommended that the
head of the bureau, Dr.. Wales, should
be re-appoirted. The members Of
congress knew nothing Of the frauds
you were his official superior, but, in
fact, did you re-aproint him l un.
derstand not. But Dr Wales was not
one OF the guilty parties; he neithe'
forged voucher nor embezzled money:
his responsibility in the case is Just the
same as your own; he was the official
superior of the rogues, as were YOU of
himself, ,as we'll as them Neither he nol
yourself exposed the frauds or pun
lsLed the parties. l have not SO far
considered this as a case of politics.
Addressing my neighbors I said that
this ard like cases adnonish them to
demand civil service reform, in the re-
moval of all from Office who will not
feek to promote it within the sphere of
their official duty and authority. Re

Break In the Usual MonotOnous Routine
IF the National Treasury Departmental
Washer Mashed.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April r.
An interesting episode took place in the
Treasury Department yesterday. Awell-
built, gentlemanly-looking man by the
name of Risden entered the building, and,
inquiring for the Fourth Auditors Office
was shown to that officials bureau. Ar
irving there he sent for clerk named
Creamer, who is aqnite handsome fellow,
and imagines himself good deal of a
"masher." Dreamer responded, and on
putting in an appearance in the hall was
met by sudden and most vigorous ap-.
plication of Mr.. Risden's fist Immediately
between the eyes, which was fol-.
lowed by another, and another, in.
quick succession, until CreamerimaGned
the Treasury building was tumbling
down. A crowd of curious and excited
clerks soon gathered to witness the
ARRAY, the Waterman near by blew his.
whistle for an officer, and in the space
of few minutes time Risden had re-.
duced Creamer to the appearance of a
worsted prize-ighter. The officer came,
and arrested him. He promptly presented
his card and siguified his willingness to
go to the statiOn-house at once, saving
that he had finished his business with
Dreamer. He subsequently explained to-
the officer that Creamer, whose reputa-
ton had been none too good in the past,
had written an insulting letter to his (sis-
den's) sister-in-iaw.

Young Lady, the Innocent Cause OF a Sad
Tragedy, Driven From Her Usual Ave-
nues of Employment by . Systematte
Freezing-Out ON the Part Of Fellow Ork-
erS.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 10.
The case of young Shook, the drug
gist's clerk, who killed Sullivan, the rail
road clerk, on Locust street, near Elev-
enth, about a month ago, is, before the
Grand Jury, and that the evidence OF
witnesses examined by them may result in
finding an Indictment for a much more
serious offense than manslaughter, the
chsrge upon which Shook was arrested
subsequent.to the killing. Miss Nora
Nash, the young lady whose playful act of
tossing a potato peeling at Shook, was
the cause of the ili-feeling between the
two men, which finally resulted in the
tragedy, is now in Denver, Col, and it is
said that her absence from the city was
the result of freezing-out process on the
part of the employees in various establish
ments at which she sought work after
having lost her situation in Mills &
Averili'S coat department on account of
her innocent connection with the sad af-
fair. After leaving this place, it is said,
she applied for positions at several dry
goods stores, among them at Scruggs,
where the forelady declared that she
would resign if Miss Nash was given EN-
pioyment. Her last application was made
to Crawford l. Co., where the young lady
who had been engaged to the late Mr..
Sullivan was working, but this forlorn
hope resulted in q failure, as the employees
combined in a successful attempt to keep
her out.

we can see that Englishmen con
demned to seem subordinates while
they really rule have half at least Of
their force taken on, of them, Eng
lishmen never work well in such Cir
cumstancrs. even when the superiors
are also En9liShmen, but when they
are Asiatic Mussulmans the capacity
for work is half destroyed by loatl ing.
We understand entirely the desire to
respect a nationality and to govern
Egypt through Egyptians, and are
quite willing to go on trying TO do it
but when tlat is given up, when it is
acknowledged that we must interfere,
and that Englishmen must be the
rulers even in detail, we do not under,
stand these fctions, which suit neither
the national ways nor the national
character. A despotic government
can manage a comedy such as is now
to be played IN Cairo, but il a Tar
liamentary Government everything
comes out, and the Ministry will be
he'd responsible for every act Of The
Egyptian Home Office; while Mr..
Clifford Lloyd will report that though
he is nrver resisted, he never gels his
way. Let him be Minister for five
years, and he would oct it without
friction, to The infinite relief of all

followed has not been well designed.
Nubar Pasha is able, but he is hated
by the Pashas. is a thorough self-seck-
er, and is an adept in devising re
ferns" which leave all serious evils
untouched. He will not he heartily
obeyrd, and, rich as he has become,
he will be by no means sorry, when
the storm thickens, to resign. The
single good Of him is that, being an
Armenian, he rather chuckles al see
ing Mussulman Ministers reduced to
s~ervitude, and admits that the Eng
lish rule with almost cynical plain
hess, telling the Standards correspon-
dent, for instance, when he asked for
"ihe Minister of Finance" (Fehmy
Pasha), that "DIr. Vincent had just
gone out" The remaining Ministers
are mere Pashas, who, 50 far as they
dare, will thwart their Under Secreta-
ries; while the latter will feel degrad-
ed by the necessity Of appearing to
take the orders OF men whom they
know to be either untrustworlhy or
recalcitrant. These Ministers, too,
whatever the understanding" can
thwart the Europeans, if they please,
for they know the country, they IN
derstand its people, and they can
threaten all underlin9s with torture,
as soon as the English retire. That is
a valid threat, TOO, tor Pashadom
forms a corporation and an enraged
Asiatic does not rtlent from his pur-
poses of vengeance like an English
squire. Shimei must he slain, if il be
under a new King and at tie horns of
the altar. Tie divorce between actu-
al power and nominal power is not
understood in the East, where the
weakest Sovereign can always execute
the strongest Premier and the ar
rangement will either prove useless OF
openly give way, the Ministers resign
ing when called on to carry out any
unpopular reform. It is believed, for
example, that the British Government
intends, most rightly though neon
~sistently, to abolish slavery, Nubar
will not mind that; but the Ministry
who know that the order, if honestly
carried out, means the extinction of
the present harem system, and a so
cial revolution, will most certainly
resign, leaving all the work to be
done over again. The Europeans
must be made Ministers at last, and
may as we'll be appointed at first,
more especially as the chief of them
Is ~ayowedly a Christian.
Besides, and here we raise a ques-
ton which Mr.. Gladstone should seri-
ously consider, is all this rrickery or
make believe worthy of a Govern
ment like ours! Either we intend TO
rule Egypt temporarily, or we do not,
If we do not, it is most unjust to
hamper the Egyptian Ministry with
European controllers, and to burden
the Egyptian Treasury with their
useless salaries. If we do, why can
we not be frank, and stand forward
as rulers, stating, if necessary, that
such rule is intended to continue only
for a defined lime7 There would be
much more truthfulness in that course,
and the Egyptian Government would
be much more energetic, while Europe
