Whenever the people of this country
elect democratic congress and demo-
cratic administration there will come
forth revelations of rottenness and cor
ruption in the departments of this gov.
eminent that will stagger the nation.
The truth is that every department of
this government in Washington is hon
eycombed with rottenness and all of it
has grown up since Mckinley was in
augurated in 1897. The postoftice de-
partmept seems to have been conducted
by and in the interest of the grafters,
the treasury department in the interest
of Wall Street, the navy department in
the interest of the steel trust, the war
department in the interest Of General
Wood, the interior department in the
interest of the glass trust, that wants to
grab the gilsonite beds in the Uncom.
pagre Ute Indian reservation, and the
department of justice in the interest Of
the trusts in general. The new depart
ment of commerce and labor has not
got into the game. How long do the
people intend to stand it?

They say is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound to
carry weight with our readers. So many
strange occurrences 60 the rounds of
the press; are published as facts. that
people become skeptical. On the subject
skepticism is rapidly disappearing. This
is due to the actual experience of our
citizens and their public utterance re-
garding them. The doubtnr must doubt
no more in the face of such evidence as
this, the public statement of reputable
citizens living right here at home. one
whom you can nee every day, leaves no
ground for the skeptic to stand on.

times forced on postmastsxs all over the
country, and all of it was made by one
concern. Typewriting machines have
been distributed lavishly, and all OF
them Of the same make. The old-fssh.
toned good iron mail boxes we're sup
planted by sheet iron boxes, and all OF
them painted alike and with the same
firms paint, and painted by men sent
out from the department when it could
have been done much cheaper at home
by some firm in the city where the
painting was done. The farmers along
the rural free delivery routes were not
allowed to furnish their own boxes, but
were compelled to pay for tie kind OF
box prescribed and sent out by the
superintendent of the free delivery SER
vice. Whenever new rural tree de-
livery route was to be inaugrated some
firm that furnished wagons and other
things to the department or to the car.
riers were given the tip and got into the
game before any other firm knew any
thing about it. And out of this comes
good graft for the men behind the
scenes. The chances are that the thing
will be so stupendous that the republi-
can party will refuse to allow the facts
to be given to the public, and the PEG.
pie will know nothing of it until DEM

REPUBLICAN ROTTENNESS.

Some of the rottenness of the repub-
lican administration of the Post Office
Department is at last coming to light.
The investigation has only just begun,
out it has gone far enough to let us see
that this will be the biggest scandal ever
unearthed in any department of the
national government until the demo.
Gratis get in control and take look at
the books in the War and Navy depart.
ments, and the things that were done
there during the war with Spain IN con.
nection with the purchase of supplies
for the army and the purchase of yes
sells for Golfers and the transportation
of troops. When this investigation
into the doings of several bureaux of
the Post Office Department was ordered
by the Post Master General, he did not
expect to find anything worse than a
few irregularities, and which could be
easily remedied, but he comes back
from a pleasure trip and finds an
enormous scandal being turned up to
the gaze of the public, and he is badly
scared. He talks very bravely about
continuing the investigation and allow
ing no guilty man to escape, but he
would be glad to shut it off right now.
1t he does not and goes the full limit,
then we may expect to see some of the
pets of the administration wearing
stripes. This game of graft and popu-
lation has been going on for several
years. When Senator Hanna inaugu-
rated the most stupendous campaign of
bribery and corruption in 1896 ever be-
fore attempted, one of his most active
lleutenants was Perry Heath. He was
rewarded for his peculiar services by be-
ing appointed First Assistant Post
master General. He, in turn, selected
others who had been active in the de.
bauch of the voters, among whom we're
Neeley and Rathbone, who were sent to
Cuba and were convicted of robbing the
government there of thousands of dol
lars. The same game was inaugurated
here. only in different ways, and so that
it could be covered up for longer time
All sorts of schemes were started for
making money out of the government
jobs held by certain people. Two of
these people have already been forced
to resign, viz: Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral Tyner, who had charge of the law
