THE ALLIES NEPOTISM.
The New Assistant Secretary is
Doing Quite Well.

The Globe it appears, touched the
new Assistant Secretary, Milton Allies,
very lightly in its last issue. We men-
toned this lovely little "cherub' send
ing his father-in-law TO the Boston EX-
hibition at the Governments expense.
"Milt' is from Ohio. We know some
thing about his people, and about Milt
on his native heath" Milt! well, yes;
Milt is the cream Of the Allies family.
Milt has seen carriages, to be sure, be-
fore he ever came to Washington and
the Treasury, but never to ride in one
Now that he has a Treasury carriage
to ride in, he's making up for all the
time lost in the past, and the poor
Government driver wishes he had
never been born. Milt came to the
Treasury as a labOrer at Sl.5O per day
This was only a blind. He was not
prepared to take a civil-service exam
ination. But he had a pull, and by 60
ing in as a laborer, Deland, Cobaugh,
LYMAN and Swazie could do the rest
and what's the use of civil service
where there is such an array Of great
ness as these four worthless? In won
derfully short time. Milt was esconsed
in a position yielding Sl,SOO per an
mum, and as soon as he got his pull he
sent for his own sweet brother Eu-
gene, and as he had found a way to be
snuggled in he smuggled his lovely
lIene in by the same process. The mys-
terious door by which these two broth
prs fastened themselves into fat snaps
is closed so that dynamite could not
open it to others whom they do not
want to enter Now. the lovely, sweet
and smiling Gene sits on one side Of
a huge table in the Secretary's office
and Alilt sits content and smiling on
the other side of this same table, show
ing how nepotism reigns supreme and
the civil service and such things as
Congressman and Senators are of no
consequence against men Of such tran
scCl Gant merit In other words, TINS
is the force which the Allies family
have in aiding this Government to
manage its affairs-Fatherin Eu
gene Allies, Milt, and now we see a
younger brother following him around
who is fresh from Ohio We suppose
he will be in the Secretary's office soon
| Then Milts two children-they are
young now. but that makes no diff
| ference. we suppose. If Milt and Gene
| could ind a way in without civil serv
! ice examination. and bring brother and
brother. and having a father-in-law IN
| also. we should think the matter OF
| age would cut no figure. This is simply
a roaring outrage. Nepotism reigns
supreme. How can a man like Secre
| tary Gage allow such things TO exist
under his own eyes? Secretary Gage
knows nothing of the abuses Of these
TRUSTEES. He is blinded by them, under
! their disguise of wanting TO shield hin
| from bother and annoyance. But h.
should familiarize himself more Will
| the workings of the Department. ThesC
things should not exist for a single mo
| ment. We also touched" lightly Theo
| dore d. Leland. We did not mention
| his having a soma lovely scion of thu
father-On whom is left the great duty
| to perpetuate this great race. This
| blooming youth, in spite OF having t
swear he had no relatives in office, oc
cupies a fat position through the grac,
of Theodore. Sr., Lyman, Cobaugh anC
Swazie. This is the Treasury Famil!
! Trust Gang. This is not all. Oh no
! we will reserve other features of Theo
dore, Sr., and Theodore, Jr, for futur,
occasions These things will keep, anC
Congress will convene in due season
We are determined Secretary Gag,
| shall know these things. The Glob,
has taken this mission of fighting
these abuses, and we mean to continu
the fight. We intend to send Secretar!
Gage copies of all these things, so tina
they will not fall into the hands o
| Allies. and never be seen by him. Their,
is nothing more evident than this fam
| lily trust, clique. cOterie, combine, o.
what you want to call it, or of all thes,
| combined. have cheated the civil sery
ice i'm some way If they underwear
a civil service examination they mus
have sworn to a lie, respecting the NJ
| relative clause. If they are in undel
the civil service protection, how die
! they get there in the face of suci
things? 1t is as palpable as a thinl
can be-this family trust existing by
| fraud-and that il will be a beautiful
| subject of Congressional investigation
and we promise our readers that Con
gress viii take it up, too. No man OF
woman, can hope for the slightest pro
motion who is not hand and GLOW,
with this family trust. We should
think Secretary Gage by merely &
glance at Eugene Allies, would lose no
moment in ousting him from his
presence The trouble is, the gang Of
beardless boys he has surrounded him
self with. causes one who enters The
Office to think, well, running the
Treasury Department can not be very
difficult If these are the parties The
Secretary has to help him do it, an'
with such environment Secretary Gag
is to be pitied, On with nepotism
Nanderlip, too, has a sister in minu
civil service
