Mr.. German Not willingp

Representative John II Bankhead, Of
Alabama, says the Democrats Of Alabama
are particularly impressed with the avail
ability of Senator Arthur r. German Of
MARYLAND for the next Democratic Presi-
dental nomination. Alabama Democrats
are talking of three men. They are Sen
ator German, Judge Alton B Parker, Of
New York aud Elk President Grover Cleye-
land. Mr.. German, however, seems to
have the larger element of the party with
him, and, in my Judgment, if he be a can
didate the Alabama delegation to the next
convention will vote for him.
He is the strongest man in the party
today. He is the best organizer aud the
shrewdest politician we have in the ranks,
and above all, he is safe In addition, he
is regular. think he would have the
confidence, as candidate, of all classes OF
the party. He would be supported by
business, financial, agricultural and labor
ing elements of the country. 1t Is fore
gone conclusion, however, according to my
information, that Mr. German will not ac-
eept the nomination unless the party is
thoroughly organized

Owing to the Investigations IN the
United States postal service the cancella-
ton of 3,O46 promotions of postothce
clerks has been authorized by the Depart
ment First Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne late Wednesday afternoon reported
to Postmaster-G General Payne THAT the
tabulation of the clerks in each grade in
postoffices of the first class had been com
pleted. This work was undertaken in ae-
cordance with the order made by the Post
master. General to rearrange the salaries of
the clerks already classified so that the
number in the several grades shall not ex-
coed the number specifically prescribed in
the act of Congress making appropriations
for the postal service.
The former classification was made by
George W Beavers just prior to his sud
den resignation as chief of the division OF
salaries and allowances.
The new schedule approved by the Post
master General, after transferring ) per
cent. from grades where there are vacan-
cies, makes it necessary to cancel 3,046
promotions in the several grades in which
there is an excess above the number to
which the grades are limited by law and
in which grades Jap promotions have
been authorized heretofore. The report
says:
at will not be necessary in any case to
reduce any clerk, but simply to cancel
), 046 out of 7,4l2 promotions heretofore
authorized to take effect July /, 1903

The Postal Scandal

Of that city issued letter, last week BY
request of Postmaster General PAYNE.

gard to the charges formulated BY Mr.
Tulloch
1.-The allegations made by Seymour W.
Tulloeh, formerly cashier of the Washing
ton postofice, which Postmaster General
Payne eharaeterizes as stump speech.
demand an investigation, conducted in such
manner as to throw all possible light on
the charges made Mr. Tullcch's mind
must be peculiarly inventive if there Is
nothing in his statement requiring serious
attention. Nothing explains SO clearly a.
explanations. To most readers the state
ment fled By Mr. Tulloch is sufficiently
explicit in certain particulars to call for the
reply which only thorough, searching
and open inquiry respecting his allegations
can give. 1t has often happened that the
investigations Of this nature reveal unsus
pected irregularities
''Mr Tulloeh appears 20 have been
particularly vigiiant cashier. He seems
to have had rigid, perhaps old-fashioned,
ideas about the management Of the office
from which he was removed after twenty
years of service Length of service in any
place certifes to fidelity, fact which of
itself gives Mr. Tulloch standing in the
court Of public opinion, and entities him to
patient and respectful hearing there He
says he objected to the payment of lump
sums for the travelling expenses Of one Of
his superior officers; to the payment Of
vouchers for services or supplies upon per
sonal request or by telephone; to the pay
ment of claims for certain postal supplies
before their delivery was receipted for by
the proper official, and in advance Of the
delivery.
s'Mr. Tulloch AYERS that orders were
given that the names of two charwomen,
receiving 5000 per annum, should not APP
pear on any payroll; that neither of them
was expected to report for duty, and that
this complimentary roll was added to
later 1t is charged in Mr. Tuiloeh
statement that, with few exceptions, APP
pointments as cleaners and laborers were
evasions of the Civil Service law; that the
parties did not perform the duties Implied
by their official designation and often no
service whatever.
at is unnecessary to enter into further
detail. The reading of the allegations will
show that they deserve frank treatment
and the bel pful assistance Of Government
officials in investigating them No case
can be won by merely abusing the other
side. Postmaster General Payne is said
to be great wit; though he may be that,
he appears to lack the courage to investi-
gate explicit charges of maladministration
in his own department or to let the public
know what the charges are. Mr.. Payne
is likely to prove heavy load upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt administration

A MAY BLIZZARD.
Herders Frozen To Death-Enormous
Loss OF Sheep And Cattle.

GREAT FALLS. Mont, May l9.-The heavi-
est cattle and sheep loss in the history of
Montana, the aggregate OF which will be So
600, 900, has been caused by the terrible snow
storm which has been raging for the past three
days. In some sections fully 80 per cent. of
the sheep on the ranges have persisted. Three
herders at least have wandered away in the
binding storm and have been frozen to death.
An aged herder employed at Portage was
lost Sunday. Two more in the Shelby June
ton country. employed by the Floweree Cat
tie Company, are missing, and there = no
hope that they can be found alive.
Herders have abandoned their hocks on
every hand aud fed for safety TO the settle
ments and ranches. Nothing like the fury Of
this storm has ever before been witnessed in
Northern Montana.
Ola consignment of 600 cattle bound from
Havre all but five were found frozen stiff.
Losses are reported GU every hand, aud this
district will feel the effects Of the losses for
years.

Impure Food Importations

After July next all foods, liquors and
drugs coming into the United States from
abroad are to be subjected to expert ex-
animation, in order to prohibit imports
dangerous to health. The Secretary OF
Agriculture is authorized by the law ap-
plying to the subject, when he suspects
that adulterated articles which are danger
Gus to health are being imported, or which
are forbidden to be sold, or are restricted
in sale in the countries in which they are
made, or which are falsely labeled, to re
eeive from the Secretary of the Treasury
samples from the original packages for III
spection and analysis. Under the law the
Secretary of the Treasury can withhold
delivery to the consignees of goods reported
by the examiners to fall within the prOhi
billions of the act. This action will even
tually stop the importation of the pro
hibited article
This legislation was enacted by the last
Congress, though the Federal Pure Food
bill, regulating the manufacture and sale
of adulterated domestic food products, was
not passed. The exclusion of foreign
adulterated food products, it is confidently
expected, will be soon followed by Federal
legislation directed against deleterlous food
of domestic production SO that all sources
of supply will be reached. DR.. W. II.
Wiley, of the Bureau of Chemistry of the
Department of Agriculture, discussing the
subject of pure foods and pure drugs before
the American Therapeutic Society last
week, delared that the law applying TO i'm
portations of food aud liquor had been
purposely imbedded in an appropriation
bill so that it would not attract attention
and invite opposition. The passage of the
measure is justly regarded by lis friends as
a great triumph for the cause Of pure food
1t is intimated that French wines and
German meats will fall first under the in
hibitiOns of the law The immediate OBJ
ject of the enactment Is to protect the
American public from impure foreign food,
liquors and drugs, but it could be used for
retaliatory purposes should foreign coun-
tries exclude American goods by harsh
application of their inspection laws
Of course, this form of retaliation could
be carried to such an extent as to disturb
friendly international relations The ex-
clusion Of impure food importations Is a
properexereise of the lawmaking power,
and if generally aud justly exercised il will
put an end to trade which in good con
science ought to be suppressed, even if
some international friction ensues
