The sristow Report Published.

The report of fourth assistant Post
master General ]. L. Bristow to the
president on the postal investigation
! has been made public. 1t is volum-
nous document and shows a reign of
graft, of unsupported extent, from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, with losses to
the government that run into unknown
thousands of dollars Tyner. Beavers
and Machen are chief among those
held culpable. Former Assistant Post
master General Perry Heath is also in
volved in the scandal in a way which
threatens his position as secretary of
the republican national committee.
Corrupt permission for lotteries and
fraudulent schemes to use the mails,
the selling of positions in the deparu-
ment, the leasing of postoffice build
ings the painting of letter boxes. the
purchase of worthless machinery at
extravagant prices, the awarding of
contracts to favored bidders-all these
things entered in the postoftice world
of graft" The extent of the corrup-
ton may be gathered from the state
ment made by Mr.. Bristow that the
brides and rake offs" which went to
the pockets of postoffice officials alone
were between 100000 and 100000.
Mr. Bristow does not attempt to esti-
mate the amount of money lost by the
government. 1t probably reaches into
the millions. Mr.. Bristow says the
profits of the offenders are small as
compared with the total loss of the
government
President Roosevelt heartily ap-
proves this exposure of fraud and de-
clares the guilty must be punished. He
urges that the period of statutory linn
itation be extended. He also points
out that all the offenders. save one,
entered office before he succeeded to
the presidency.

A NoveIist,s Good Fortune.

James Lane Allen, the novelist, has
suddenly become millionaire through
a chance Investment of few hundred
dollars in the Texas oil fields.
Some time ago he acquired a tract of
$50 acres of land situated in southeast
Texas The land was worth less than
IS per acre, and was practically of no
use except for pasturage A few weeks
ago gusher oil well was brought in
at Batson Prairie within a mile of
Mr., Aliens land The new oilfield has
been the scene of the widest excite
ment since then, and a town of 1000
people has sprung up at Batson
Prairie, where there was only one store
building prior to the oil discovery.
Land values are increasing daily. Mr..
Allen could sell his entire tract at So
900 per acre but is said to be hold
ing it for $4,000 per acre.

Grover Cleveland Declines Nomination.

In a personal letter to st. Clair Nc
Kelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle,
dated Nov. "a, Grover Cleveland de-
clared his unalterable and conclusive
determination not to accept another
nomination to the presidency. He
said "In full view of every considera-
tion presented | have not for a mo
ment been able, nor am I now able to
open my mind to the thought that in
any circumstance or upon any con-
sideration, l should ever again be-
come the nominee of my party for the
presidency" The Eagle, which had
been supporting Mr.. Cleveland for the
democratic presidential nomination
now gives its support TO Alton b. Park
er at present chief judge of the court
of appeals of New York.

Mo Crime to Sell a Vote.

To say of a man that he sold his
vote" is not slanderous of itself, ac-
cording to a decision of the full bench
of the supreme court of Massachusetts,
announced Friday. The court furth-
err holds that in order to recover dam
ages in such a case, the person of
whom the words are spoken must al
lege and prove a special damage. In
the decision the court held that the
statutes have repealed the common
law on the subject of bribing voters
and that the law as it now stands
makes it crime to buy vote, but pro-
vides no penalty for selling one.
