THE WEATHER

Boston. Jan. l2-For New England:
Fair tonight and Tuesday; colder with
a high cold wind tonight diminishing
Tuesday.
The National tribune., 1903-07-09

There was still another way of doing this.
All that was necessary was for some un-
ScrupuiouS white man to charge a negro
whose labor he wanted, with the commits
sion or some small misdemeanOr or crime,
when the alarmed colored man. fearful Of
the horrors of the prison camps, would
agree TO almost anything. He would be
taken before magistrate and put under
bond which nobody but the white man
could furnish. Then the white man had
MN, and took care that every advance to
him for food and clothing was priced be-
yond the value of the la Dor he performed.
The specific case which brought down
the wrath of Judge Spear, stirred up the
Federal Grand Judy and resulted in the
timing of Will Sly, Arthur Glosson and
frank Turner, of Jasper County, Ga,
$1,000 each, was an allegation by Will
waters, negro that had made a contract
with Sly to work for him from January
until August. and began obtaining ad-
vances of money and rations. He was
soon informed that he was in debt for S35
beyond the value Of his contract, where
upon he ran off at night. and went to work
for another farmer some distance away.
He was soon traced there, and Sly and
Turner brought him back tied to the back
axle of the buggy, whipping him cruelty
all the way.
The negro's wife managed to get to Ma
con, where she swore out the warrants
securing the arrest of his assailants.
1t is fair to the better class in the South.
ern States that these abuses are not prac.
tlced or permitted on most of the planta-
tions. The labor contracts, according to
the law, must be executed in the presence
of n Magistrate, who explains to the la
b0rers the terms, which must be as the
Magistrate approves of. On most of the
large plantations. which are conducted in
4 humane, business-like manner, the
negroes are held to Il careful execution of
their contracts. They are worked n GER
tain number of hours every day. and made
to work all the time. and accounts are
kept with them as to the supplies furnish
ed, but the laws are such that harsh, un-
Scrupulous and unjust men can take adj
vantage of them to extort unpaid labor
from the negroes. and practice the great
est cruelties upon them.
A great many offenses charged against
the whites are directly in violation of the
State laws, but there is nobody to take the
poor negro's part. and the Interpretation
of the laws everywhere is likely TO be such
as some drunken brute of white man
may choose to give it.
The action of Judges Speer and Jones
will rectify large part of the most fla
grant abuses. They pronounced features
of the contract labor law as directly un-
constitutional. and therefore void, and
Judge Speer delivered n stirring lecture to
the Federal Grand Jury, commanding it
to throughy investigate the system of

The Post Office Scandals.

There is graft on every side" That is
what a prominent man says of the man
ner in which the Government Depart
ments are carried on. The deeper the In
spcctOrs go into matters the more they
find that is unSavory and dishonorable
1t has been found that supplies have been
forced upon the Government whether the
same were needed or not, and iii many in
stances the supplies and fixtures are never
unlocked. but lie in some basement to
gather rust. mildew and mold. One lot
of post Office box fixtures weighing many
tons, and costing several thousand dol
lars, have been found in one of the big
post offices. where they have lain for II
years. They We're perfectly useless when
oidereG-in fact We're not ordered, but
sent to the Office without requstion. No
record of payment has been found, but it
is not mt all likely that the manufacturers
have been waiting all these years for their
money.
II is being learned on all sides now that
the Civil Service law in regard to post Of
fees has been violated times without num-
her. PoStmaStcrs have been appointed who
have had criminal records. and when aiti-
davits were placed on file in the Post
Office Department saying so. These Post
masters have since defaulted and have
been dismissed.
The Money Order printing has been done
at excessive rates, and the Post Office Off
cial whose son WAS connected with the
Money Order printing establishment has
been Summarily dismissed. The man who
made the lowest bid has been given the
contract.
Postal Physicians" who drew big sal
aries for doing next to nothing have been
discontinued. There was never any neceS-
sity for them, as they We're never en-
ployed by the clerks, but were simply de-
tectivcs who called at the homes of the
clerks who were ill., to ascertain if the
clerks We're really i'll or only shammins
to get an extra day sick leave.
Because of the rottenncSs that has been
developed from the Investigations of the
Rural Free Delivery it is very likely that
there will be a shock in that direction for
the next set of Congressman. This has
been prolific source of graft for the
members of Congress who could win Il
seat for second and even third term
by establishing new rural routes in his dis
trict All this is to be done away with.
The plan is TO consider the extension OF
rural free delivery by States.
Petitions from Ohio. for example. will
be taken up by Inspectors in the order in
which these petitions have been hled; Of
course, great amount of work will re-
main for the members of Congress to do in
inIuiring after the progress made in plac-
ing q given route. Some think the Sen
ators will have q larger share of response
bility in the eyes of the public under the
new arrangement.
No crcdence is given the report current
in the West that all rural free delivery
routes supplying less than 100 families are
TO be discontinued. OF the S12.5M0OO ap-
propriated for the service by the last Con-
cress S3O0O.G00 is yet unprovided for and
will be used for new routes, and the routes
now established will not be disturbed eX.

arms and denotes the National scope of
the Department.
The original of the seal is correct in all
heraldic details.
On the 1st of July the Bureau of For
eign Commerce of the Department of
State, which has charge of the collection,
publication and distribution of the COM
mercial reports of Consular officers, will
be transferred to the Department of Com
merce and Labor and consolidated with
the Bureau Of Statistics, which is to be
transferred from the Treasury to the new
Department.
The collection Of the reports will be
made through the Consular officers, under
the direction Of the Secretary Of State,
through whom the reports will be trans
mitted to the Secretary of Commerce and
Labor. The two Departments are ex-
pected to work in harmonious cooperation,
as the functions of each are clearly de-
fined and there is full agreement between
them.
James @. Monaghan, chosen by Secre-
tary Cortelyou to edit the reports under
the supervision Of Mr.. Austin, Chief of
the Bureau Of Statistics, is Professor in
the Commercial Department Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, and was Consul at
Mannheim, Germany, from June II, 1885,
to March "a, 1890, and at the important
industrial center of Saxony, Chemnitz
from May 5, 1893, to March 81, 1900, so
that he has had exceptional experience in
Consular work. While Consul at Chem
nitz he was frequent contributor to Con-
sular reports on a great variety of subjects
and wrote a valuable series of articles
ON the technical and trade schools of Ger
many.
1t is to be assumed, therefore, that the
efficiency and celerity attained by the
State Department in the publication of
Commercial information from abroad will
not only be maintained by him, but the
value Of the publication will be enhanced
because of the greater variety of informa-
tion obtained by the consolidated Bureaus.
