Charles Lyman, appointment Clerk
of the Treasury Department, is max
ing strenuous efforts to ascertain the
names of the employees of the Treasury
Department who are furnishing the
information relative to his record, and
the favoritism he has shown to the
members of his family employed in the
Department. The Globe is reliably in
formed that several of the lick-spittles
who fawn in the presence of this dis
missed officer of the army are making
oveTtures to employees to ascertain the
parties who give the facts for publica.
tion and promising official preferment,
if the names are secured. For the ben
eft of Charles Lyman, the Globe will
state that it's informants are far too
shrewd to trust further than they are
compelled, their official life in his keep
ing, and that under no circumstances
would they stoop to the degree of
idiocy to trust one of the lick-splttles
of the Appointment Division.
Lymans record was rather a sur.
prise to he milk and water Lyman j.
Gage, Secretary of the Treasury. He
hat suffered under the belief that his
appointment clerk was a meek and
pious man, with a past so white that
the driven snow would form a shade
upon it. Mr.. Gage does not like to
have his Department get so much no
toriety, and it is even intimated that
Lyman is getting in heavy going, and
it behooves him to use the same energy
in stopping the publications of his past
that he exercised in securing the
amendment of his army record. Mr..
Gage had enough to contend with un-
der Vanderlip, who was gracefully re-
tired by way of resignation, which, 1t
is believed, was handed in on a sug-
gestlon from President Mckinley.
Vanderlip held quite a reception Of
the sycopban,s in the Treasury build.
ing last Monday He was escorted by
his protege, Milton r.. Ails, who sue.
ceeded him as Assistant Secretary.
Lyman was in the fore to welcome
him, and it is said that the creature
of his promotion, Lee w. Funk, chief
of the Indian Division, nearly collap-
sed after the hot run he made to the
Secretary's office on hearing that the
mighty financier, who had copied some
records in the mint of France to en-.
tighten the financial world, was in the
building. Funk, by the way, ought to
be grateful to Vanderlip, for the lat.
ter lifted him from obscurity, reducing
a better man, to put him in charge OF
the Indian Division.
Inc chief fawners stood in the first
row of the half circle that surrounded
the ex-Assistant Secretary, and paid
homage in a way that wSuld make a
Turkish heather blush with shame.
The outer rows were formed of the
tidy.looking brigade of beardless
youths which Vanderlip installed in
the Treasury payroll.
1t is a fact worthy of mentioning
that Captain" Coubaugh was not pres
ent at the reception. Somehow Van
deTlip never took a fancy to the gal
liant Captain" much to the Cap
tain's' regret Nor was w. w. Brown
the Auditor for the Navy Department
whom Vanderlip unceremoniously
bounced out of the Office of Auditor
for the War Department for incOm-
potency. 1t is generally understood
that Brown and Coubaugh did not care
If he never came back"
A correspondent writes to the Globe
to know what Jamison, the carpenter
Of the Treasury building does for a
living The Globe passes the question
up. All that a close observer has ever
leen able to ascertain relative to Jami-
sons duty is to strut about the cor
ridOrs and look pompous, However,
the Globe will endeavor in another is
sue to tell more about his duty, if the
same can be located,
The Globe is always desirous of be-
ing impartial. For this reason it pub
lshed in last Sundays issue a com
munication in defense of a widow in
the Office of the Auditor for the Post
Office Department. However, it desires
to state that every statement made re-
garding this woman is susceptible of
proof in fact, the proof can be secured
to prove more than published. The
Globe would advise the lady friend of
the widow not to rush into print again
in defense of the widow until she has
Investigated the subject she defends.
We have no desire to say more about
the widow, but make this statement
to assure our correspondent that what
was published is by no means the
whole tale as it appears in our office,
after a thorough investigation.
