ters throughout the country have been
corrupted by the manufacturers and
whether the latter are under the SUI
pervisiOn Of some one closely allied
with the fountain-head of the big job
is the question? 1t has come to the
knowledge of The Globe, and its source
of information is thoroughly reliable,
that postmasters at the main distrib-
uting offices act as the agents for GER
tain manufacturing firms. They sell
boxes on commission, some of them
realizing one-half the proceeds Of their
sales.
The Globe publishes this informa-
ton advisedly, on undoubted authority.
Will the Postmaster-Gener have 1t
investigated and thus, in measure at
least, retrieve and vindicate the Pu-
rity of the postal service? VIII he let
this matter go on unchecked and unre-
buked. until Congress overwhelms his
Department with an open investiga-
ton? It may be that an investigation
is quietly progressing now but The
Globe has no positive knowledge Of 1t.
A special agent, operating in Iowa,
included in his report, written the past
few weeks, that he 'fOund pOStmdGterS
engaged selling the bosses to farmers,
and some of them receiUe as nigh as
rs cents per bOT commission"
The Globe presents this fact to the
stmaster-General as a basis for his
investigation. Other things will devel-
Cd as he proceeds Are we not entitled
10 ask the head Of the postal service,
a member of Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet,
to authenticate or disprOVe this charge
and the still more serious one that his
superintendent of the free delivery sys-
tenn was forced to resign by eX-First
Assistant Postmaster-General Heath,
for cause And If these facts are au-
thenticated by Mr.. Smith, we rise TO
inquire: What is he going to do about
it? We shall not pause for a reply
but continue our exposes for the good
Of the public service until the Con
gress of fhe United States assemble,
when the matters here recited and all
other DEVELOPMENTS will be laid before
that body. to the end that the public
service shall be purified over the head
of Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet officer,
whose sworn duty it is to take cogniz-
ance Of the charge laid before him by
a public journal, the editor OF which
is responsible in law and fully compre.
hends the gravity of the allegations to
which he gives publicity. 1t is up to
Mr.. Smith for the present, but Mr..
Smith himself will be up against Con
gress when that body assemblies in De.
cember next, if the policy is continued
of ignoring the charges brought by
this journal. Meantime, we shall CON
tinue asking Why did Mr.. Machen re-
sign, and why did Mr.. Perry Heath
withdraw his acceptance Of the same
at the request of President Mckinley,
through the intercession Of the Presi'
dents brother, Mr.. Abner Mckinley?

INTERESTING REUNION
Of the Collins and Cross Employees
of the G. P. 0.

Chief Clerk Collins of the Printing
Office called the role of his family
and relatives the other mig t to see
If any on of them was out Of a Gov
ernment job. Here is the result:
The Chief Clerk and two sons, the
latter both single and living with their
er.-Government Printing
Office.
Homer Collins, brother Of the Chief
Clerk and a son of Homer Govern
ment Printing Office.
Walter Collins, another brother Of
the Chief Clerk Union Building.-Gov-

All being present and accounted for
the Chief Clerk led of in singing,
MY Country 'Tis OF Thee" after
which the male members Of this in
teresting family who, by the way, have
not a single vote among the whole out
fit, held a council of war to determine
If there was anything else lying around
loose that they wanted, or If any rel
ative on either side of the house was
out of a Government job. The young
son who had temporarily severed him
self from the printing ofrice asked If
il wasn't time for him to be trans
ferred back from the Census Depart
ment as he didn't think this Depart
ment would last more than a few
months longer. His father slightly
knit his brows, and bade the youth
have patience, take mis- sick and annu-
al leave, and add it to the general
stock, There were several relatives
holding down jobs in other Depart
ments unaVoidably absent from the
meeting, and the Chief Clerk ordered
recess until they could attend. The
total number should be fourteen, and
no family affairs could be transacted
until all were present. 1t incidentally
transpired that the annual payroll of
this patriotic family with no vote
reached in the neighborhOod of $780,
600 for all told. Means to increase
the family income will be devised at
the next meeting, and the Chief Clerk
was appointed a Subcommittee of one
to make a report on the methods Of
procedure.

ONE OF HIS VICTIMS
Gives Mickey Lewis a Mid RaSp-

Jersey City N, j., July %, 1901.
IO TIE EDITOR OF 2 GLoBE.

Jersey City, N. j., July %, 1901.
TO THE EDITOR OF = GLOBE:
A friend having me your paper,
| was very much pl~ sed with it, es-
pecially the articles on Mikey Lewis
and the Supply Division. ! ana one of
Mikeys victims, but am managing to
get a living, so can tell things that a
person inside dare not.
Now, If there is any class Of people
/ respect it is the eX-Union soldier.
And why should | not? When we think
what they have done for my people.
In that division were three eX-sol-
dieTs, as good clerks as there was in
the Government service, but Mikey got
his Pollock eye on them, and in a short
time forced Mr. Paul to resign, and
kept the others on nettles all the time,
even trying to get them out. Mr. Paul,
also Mr.. Ballard was forced out to
make room for one Mckinley (Claims
to be a relative Of the Great William,
which is a lie), whose only ability is
his name Then he got rid of another
cleTk--a Mr.. P-simply because he
knew too much, and filed his place
with a nonentity; and so IL has gone
on until the place is filled with people
of the latter class, until they are in
each others way Three young men,
among them Mikey's intended brother
in-law, used to spend most Of their
time out the back door smoking cigar
cites (Which was strictly forbidden)
or matching pennies in a little Office
in the back room, and all combined
did not do the work of an ordinary II
yearold boy; still they all got pro
NOTED.
But everything goes with Mikey,
that bring "gTist to his mill, and when
Senator p called it was ,"Ah, Sen
ator, I am in hopes to do something
for your Mrs. p. shortly"
There was an investigation Of the
place when | was there, and when Con-
gress meets | would like to have a
chance to tell what | saw, of how they
disposed OF the ink and some other
supplies. j. D.
Gn connection with the foregoing
The Globe has had a little bird whis-
per in it's ear that Mr.. Schofield, one
of Mikey's clerks, has made a boast OF
using a Winchester on our hide. This
is imprudent, inasmuch as IL Mr.. Scho-
field does we will never know what
hurt u.s. but by making preliminary
threats he establishes a case OF muir
der in the first degree, and Mikay will
have the horror Of seeing him hanged
at the county Jail Mr., Schofields
Mississippi shotgun policy" is only
effective in keeping negroes away from
the polls. II will not prevent The
Globe from printing facts, which its
heirs and successors can establish after
the editors murder-that is, provided
the editor furnishes the corpsel The
last time were were to be killed, two
very respectable ciSzens were sent TO
the coroner's Office, as subsequent
proceedings interested them no more"

DOORKEEPER GLENN
Charged with Serious 0ffenseS by
a House Employee.

The Globe is in receipt of a cOmmu-
nication containing serious charges
against DoOrkeeper Glenn, of the
House Of Representatives, involving
his honesty, Integrity and moral char
acter. The Globe can not publish com
munications of this character, where
they are unsigned or unauthenticated,
and as It Is almost matter OF impos-
sibility for The Globe to establish their
truth without the assistance of their
author, he will either send us his name
or call in person. A few Of the milder
charges we quote as follows
Why Is one william Keith, colored,
carried on the rolls of Doorkeeper
Glen as an employe in the folding
room, credited to Representative Joy,
of st. Louis, but doing duty as butler
Tor the said Congressman and never
reporting for duty at the captol?
why is Paul Palmer, another EN-
)loye of Doorkeeper Glenn, credited
% Representative Palmer, Of Illinois,
drawing a Government salary and fill
ing a position in Illinois of a private
nature and never puts in an appear
ance at the capitol?
"Why did a certain House employe
give the said Glenn a very handsome
silver outfit for his table,"
"As the writer progresses, however,
his charges becomes more serious and
unprintable without proper corTobora-
tlop, Hence they must stand for the
present"

ment officials, Of which we are positive
Abner Mckinley, the brother of the
President, must have heard, as he has
heard Of other similar steals, from
Machen's manipulations to Heistand's s
Manila hemp monopoly.
The whole oderiferous business will
and must be investigated, whether the
President or Secretary Rost is inter
ested in suppressing the matter Col
onel Heistand is the smallest frog in
the puddle in this infamous affair, and
The Globe knows it.

Russell SAGE'S NEPHEW
And the Two Female Census Clerks
Who Know Him.

There is an unmarried lady in the
Census Department so infatuated with
the nephew of Russell Sage that, not
withstanding she knows ne is married
and has children, she visits Philadel-
phia regularly and meets him, giving
him what money she can spare from
her salary. This sounds funny, that
Census clerk gives the nephew Of fifty
times Millionaire Sage money, but so
it is. 1t is stranger still, however, to
the general public, but not to the
writer, that this same nephew has done
his bit in the penitentiaryl We have
seen the sons and nephews of more So
socially and politically prominent men
than Russell Sage wear the uniform of
conyicts We have seen other relatives
of big public men doing their bit for
criminal Offenses, such, for instance
as the first cousin of Senator Foraker
sisters children, what a difference
put IN five years in the Ohio peniten-
tiary.
This particular, reputed nephew of
Russell Sage has had career which no
author of dime novels ever dreamed of
inventing for the most improbable of
heroes.
There is another lady in the Census
who is not infatuated with Sage's
nephew, and she is a widow, too. She
has had some experience with him, as
he ruined her husband and drove him
prematurely to his grave a suicide.
What alias this scion of his uncle's
millions goes under at present is of
slight importance; he is known to the
Tp1fqn pnl i9 n tho HApT,t ena1 ,1, %
reformed ex-convicts." A few OF his
exploits are hastily summarized, in
which he duped Americans and Eng
lishmen with cosmopolitan impartial
ity. An irrigating canal in Arizona
netted this genius a sum sufficient to
spend years in Europe, where he left
one OF his American dupes high and
dry, and several Frenohmen, with a
few heavyweight John Bulls.
He beat several prominent banks so
dead easy that the bankers dare not
prosecute him without tipping off their
hands and showing a confiding public
what easy things they were in his
pliable hands.
He finally descended to the gold brick
fake, and Notwithstanding that he
landed several very smart and very
avariciOus individuals, he was landed
himself in the end, and did two years
behind the walls
Since his release, as may be inferred,
from the infatuation Of the Census fe-
male clerk, he has been doing fun
time. his old line Of business, and is
still obtaining something for nothing,
the shibboleth or motto OF his craft.
OF course, this condensed chapter is
not written to cater TO the vanity Of
Mr. Sages nephew. who loves this kind
of notoriety but to admonish or warn
the too conflding young hdy in the
Census that she Is running right
straight to the d in keeping up an
acquaintance with such a man, and no
good can come out OF her strange IN
fatuation for such a character.
