WILL PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
Read This Communication from the
Inside Of Snpt. Lewis, of the Sup
ply Division, Omce2 His In
stant Dismissal Warranted
by Authenticated Facts.

Edfor Giobe.
Here are few facts regarding Mikey
Lewis that has not been touched upon in
your reports.
He kept the private secretary of a Repre-
sentative in position in the Division Post
Office Supplies, at the same time knowing
he was drawing two salaries; but the Repre-
sentative, Democrat was on the Appropri-
alton Committee and the bill to increase
Mikey's salary was to come before that
committee
When the secretary left the Supply Divis-
ion through the manipnlations of Mikey he
was granted three months leave of absence
with pay, aud Mikey sent him a very nice
desk. Through this, Mikey's influence
with Heath he was given considerable Of
the patronage of Alabama.
Again he has violated the Civil Ser
vice rules by couspiring against GER
tain clerks, among them several ex-
Union soldiers and having them dis
missed, transferred or reduced without
cause other than to get them out Of the way.
While at the same time he has kept a lot
of clerks sending circulars, browbeating
postmasters into using the Ault and Wiborg
ink until there is now in the hands of post
masters an extra amount large enough to
last them three years If properly used
Furthermore that the business of said di-
vision is done in the most unbusiuess like
manner Of any place in the government
service and the whole drift Of it is to spend
all the money he can get appropriated
whether necessary or not. If there is any
doubt as to these statements let them send
any business man up there to make an in
vestigatiou; but in the first place set Mikey
aud his ME TOO out of the way and
they will find by conducting the business
properly the Government would save at
least fifty thousand dollars year,
Here are few cases Of nepotism for you

Marcus A. Hanna has shown his hand

seat in the United States Senate. When
Judge Taft was appointed Governor of the
Philippine Islands it was privately circu-
lated, as news to calm the fears Of Foraker's
partisans, that the reward of Judge Taft's
sacrifice in accepting 50 onerous position
with It's incidental dangers and thaukless re-
suits would be seat on the Supreme
Bench Of the United States At the time
we personally admonished an humble friend
Of Senator Foraker, Capt Jim" Harris,
that the reward intended for Taft was For.

from the inside Of the Executive Mansion
which was confirmed through the kitchen
of Judge Taft's residence in Cincinnati

the petty Offices in the Ohio legislature, is
but the merest pretense, and 20 serve as an
excuse for break with Senator Foraker

posed He agreed with Senator Burton TO
send an Inspector to Girard-the inspector
has not arrived
On December Mr.. Madden again took
his typewriter IN hand and wrote:
The department does not deny that there
are MANY LEGITIMATE SUBSCRIBERS
TO the paper"
This refutes his letter Of November 2.
where he states that the Appeal "has not
legitimate list of subscribers
Again, on December 7, he says the papers
being sent to persons who had not them
selves paid the subscription price, WAS
PAID BY OTHERS
He thus acknowledges that the paper is
not being sent free, thus again contradict
ing his statement that the paper is circu-
lated largely gratuitousy."
That's the situation in a nutshell Mr.
Madden has acknowledged that every con-
tention he has made against the Abbeal is
untrue. Beaten on every turn, lie proposes
now to shut the Appeal ont on the ground
that these subscriptions paid by .others and
sent to friends, "vtiate the entire list"
And this, mind you, in the face of his own
ruling stating that such subscriptions when
sent to other publication than the appeal,

interfere with any genuine case where one

Senator Burton addressed Censor Madden
on behalf Of the publisher of Apbeal 10
Reason and the following extract from
Madden's reply is here inserted TO en-
phasize, as it were, the objections he raised
to the paper, and which, as has been shown,
he waived in the cases of other publications:
The argument is fair exhibit of his
construction of the law. The mailing of a
large per cent Of his editions being to names
furnished and PAID for by others without
the volition of the addressee, is considered
by the publisher, as had already been as
certained by the department as well as the
fact that a large per centage of papers so
sent are being refused by the addresses"
We rather think his (the publisher Of
Appeal TO ReaS0A) construction Of law is at
least, consistent and Censor Madden would
do we'll TO initiate him.
If the New York magazine Success" can
be paid FOR BY OTHERS" why not the
Abbeal TO Reas0R2
We pause for Mr.. Madden's reply.

his censorship to the trade monthlies,

sacred rights Of weekly newspapers, de-
voted to isms and ideas Republicanism is
excepted, however, by censor Madden and
at present only socialistic sheets like the Cir
ard (Kan.) Appeal 10 Reason are under the
ban. If the express companies expressly
agreed to divide the pro6ts with Mr., Mad
den, he could not have adopted a better
plan to give them the business Of forward

M'GOVERN BESTS GARDNER,


San Francisco, May 1.--Terry Nc
Govern knocked out Oscar Gardner in
the fourth round last night at Me-
chanlcs' pavilion. From the first
minute until the end came there was
never doubt in the minds Of the
spectators as to the outcome Me-
Govern forced the pace all through
and had no trouble in landing when
and where he liked. Gardeners swings
were very wild and ineffective and
only on two or three occasions did he
put o clean blow upon the champion.
Gardner took a terrific pommeling
and went down repeatedly from the
assaults of the Brooklyn terror. In
the fourth round Terry landed half a
dozen right and lefts on face and
body and Gardner went down. He
struggled to his feet only 40 go down
again.
Gardner landed one left on the body
and the blow only served to irrtate
Terry, who came back at him with
lefts and rights in a perfect shower.
Gardner received hard right square,
ly in the pit Of the stomach and rs
he was falling Terry sent in a left to
the jaw which ended the fight.

vent, in case the management passed

his associates, high freights being
charged to the principal ports of
North America, Central America and
West Indies. It was also pointed out
that the purchase by J. P. Morgan and
the men associated with him would
enable the United States Steel cor
poration to land its manufactured
products In any of these countries
where the Leyland owns and controls
docking privileges at the lowest rates,
since in the event of the disposition
on the part of any of the companies
to charge higher rates than the steel
corporation desired to pay It would
be comparatively easy to transfer
ships to any Of these lines and, II
considered necessary, to purchase new
ones.
