George F. McGinnis was yesterday ap-

delay has been caused in the appointment

ported by Senator Fairbanks and was re-
garded as a representative Of the older

The Fourth Assistants Postmaster Gen
eral yesterday submitted ITO Postmaster
General Smith full and formal report Of
the investigation made into the postal
frauds committed In Cuba by Rathbone.
Nicely, and other carpetbaggers Of the Ad-
ministratfon who have been plundering the
revenues Of Cuba. Mr.. Smith announces
semi-oflcially that he will not give the
report out for publication at present. He
offers as his excuse for thus Withholding
from public inspection one Of the most i'm
portaut public documents Of the year that
he considers the report as properly be-
longing to the Senate committee which has
been specially charged with the response
bility Of delving into the Cuban nastiness.
sorted to by the Postmaster General for
petty political purposes, and. Of course.
his conduct is inspired BY authority SUI
perior to his own.
The Senate committee will report in its
own good time to the Senate. and thus
after months Of delay the result Of its in
QUESTION will filter out to the country.
But the Senate will not meet until De-
cember. The country by that time will
have voted for President. Therefore. the
findings in the Cuban scandal cannot pos
sibly have any immediate political effect.
What the nation will think Of this dcdg
ing and shilly- shallying policy is not DIFF
ficult to surmise. In spite Of what the
managers Of the Republican party may at
present think to the contrary. the realiza-
ton will be borne in upon them with
crushing force at no distant day that the
American people are not money mad and
that they demand fair dealing as well as
honesty In their public servants. More
than that, the lesson will be driven home
that the American people. aware that the
eyes Of the critical world are now riveted
upon them to see what they are going to
do with the new responsibilities unexpect-
eddy devolved upon them as the result Of
the war with Spain, are as sensitive to
their position as a woman. They will not
tolerate any course of conductpwhich is
calculated to asperse their character or
bring them ur.:er the CALLING suspicion of
wrongdoing. Unless the lust for power has
utterly destroyed calm judgment in the
minds Of the Republican managers We feel
certain that the pressure OF public opin-
len will force the Administration to sur
render the Bristow report for publication.

ECOMA1SN,, VA, September D.
The oyster season has begun in earnest
along the Potomac river, now that we are
blessed with cooler weather. Prices are
beginning to improve, but the outlook for
the FISHERMAN is very poor. Oysters are
very scarce and small, owing to the large
number killed by freshets last year and
to the very close dredging of the past two
years. which was most recklessy done.
Instead of the feet Of oyster vessels.
which often amounted to thousands along
the river, from Blackstone Island to Ma
c.lias Point at this season Of the year, the
number is so small the vessels might
easily be counted. The merchants along
the river front, who have usually laid in
large supplies for the accommoda ton Of
the oyster trade, are Very much dlsappoint-
ed at the nor-appearance of the many
oy-stermen Who were hoped for. A number
of depredations are already being COM
mitted by dredSerS upon stock owned by
farmers along the river, and several times
arms have bsen resorted to in self-defense.

the height Of the campaign is not reached.
