WISCONSIN FOR MCKINLEY
BADGER STATE WILL DUPLICATE

40 Detection Among the Germans or

MILWAUKEE. November l. 1900
1t will be all one way, politically, in Wis
consin next Tuesday, so far pluraiities
and rnajOrities are concerned. Level-headed
democrats admit this IN private, but the
shouting bourbons still make faint claims
of victory. The republican plurality for
the national ticket will probably be in the
neighborhood of 100000. with the plurality
for the state ticket little behind that fig
ure. McKinleys plurality in Wisconsin in
1896 was 102. 612 When the republican
state ticket was nominated the air was blue
with fractional Encouragement on one side,
and II seemed as though the state would
make a poor showing In the republican
column. but this has all passed OFF, and the
republican vote will be practically solid.
All talk about German detection on the IS
sue OF anti-imperialism is without basis.
The Germans will vote for Mckinley on
the money Issue, and they will be assisted
by thousands of sound money democrats

state says the iron miners are solid for the

Mr.. J. Altheus johnson, for Mrs. Ida May
Lewis, filed suit today before Justice OF the
Peace Samuel c. Mills to recover ten cents
from the Metropolitan Railroad Company.
Mrs. Lewis claims that two fares (for her
self and friend) were Illegally collected
from her on the 25th of October by a
conductor. who refused to accept the trans
fers which had been given to her for use
at 9th and F streets. Mrs. Lewis and her
friend. so 1t is claimed, had boarded q
Metropolitan car at the steamboat landing
to go to 9Th and East Capitol streets. They
waited. with their transfers, OH the east
side of 9th street at F. but the cars going
east refused to stop on their signal, having
been delayed by temporary tie-up of cars
between 9th and 10th streets. When they
were finally able to board car the con-
ductor refused their transfers on the
ground that the punch-marks showed the
transfers to be 20 minutes old and not
good.

there was appointed chief of the bureau
of accounts" who was subordinate to the
director of posts. Statements were made
that the new Cuban system was organized
on the United States plan. but in this vital
particular there was the widest possible
departure from the principle Of an indie
pendent audit, which has prevailed here
since 1896
1.-THE consequences could have been easily
foreseen. They were exactly what occur
red in connection with our own service in
it's earlier days. which, after serious scan
dals. brought about the present methods Of
accounting. In Cuba, after six or eight
months of this incorrect procedure, the
chief of the bureau of accounts was made
auditor and removed from under the juris-
diction of the head of the postal system.
But the same Individual retained his po-
sition and had evidently become so accus-
toned to accept the orders and approvals
of his superior as conclusive that practi-
cally the same conditions continued; there
was really Independent scrutiny and
audit of accounts and the irregularities
which ensued were the natural result.
This statement of fact is deemed proper
here, as the widespread but erroneous as
sumption that the accounting methods pre-
vailing in Cuba were identical with those
employed here has been used to some ex-
tent as an impeachment thereof. We do
not claim perfection for our own methods
by any means But If those methods had
recommended by the representative of this
office, Deputy Auditor Lawshe. who was
requested to assist in establishing the pos
tai service at its very beginning, most of
the abuses which followed would have been
impossible"

Ad ditIOnal Fee

Mr.. Castle refers to many proposed addi-
tons to the postal system. He comments
upon some OF these as follows:
Postal telegraph bills are introduced al
every session of Congress and pushed to
the front with zeal and energy which
will ultimately lead to success, unless all
the merits and dement's of that great I'M
dertaking are fully considered by those
charged with the responsibility. The pro-
motors call attention to the alleged pine
nomenal success of the postal telegraph
systems in other countries, notably in Eng.
land. But the official reports show that
England lost in eighteen years e. 1858 s..
i'd. about $36, .OO0 in operating her
postal telegraphs. The deficit on that
branch of the English postal service is now
more than $3,OO0.OO0 per annum, and is
steadily growing. Yet England Is a COM
pact, populouS and wealthy country What
the deficit would be under similar manage
ment in the United States with our i'm
menSe stretches of sparSely settled and en-
tirely unnhabited territory may be left to
the Imagination.
Another proposition having manifest
popularity and influence behind 1t Is the
enlargement of our parcels post service as
a remedy for express monopoffes. But the
experience of England is that even in that
compact and densely populated country
money has been lost on this parcels post
business, although a minimum rate of G
cents a pound has been charged

of this business in connection with our

voluminous. None Of these bills show
any comprehension whatever Of the neces-
sity of keeping minute and accurate ac-
counts. Appeals are made to the success
of the scheme in England. but it ia a we'll
known fact that the English government
today finds itself unable to invest the ac-
cumulations of its postal savings banks in
such manner as to reimburse itself for
the interest paid. to say nothing of the
enormous expenses Of administration
Every deposit and every withdrawal in
all the postal savings banks in the coun-
try must be reported to the accountant

when a new postal service was estab-

1899, under the auspices Of the United States
