The PosToEEloE FRAUDS.

M r. BRIsTOW's REPORT on the
44 frauds in the postomce depart
ment will AFFORD little pleasure to any
good American citizen, and much less
90 the Republicans who have 70 shout
der the responsibility for the scandal
resulting. That the report itself is an
administration document, framed by
staunch partsans and published with
the knowledge and approval Of the
president. is assurance that it ifs no
exa ggeration Of the facts discovered.
Briefly etated, Mr. BristOw shows
that officials of the postomce depart
ment used their Offices as grating es-
tablishments: that they robbed the
government systematically for the
benefit OF favored contractors, who, in
turn, divided the spells with those
trusted servants or the government
Supplies worth hundreds of thousands
OF dollars were purchased and not used.
Prices were raised to an eXorbitant
figure in order that spells might be
cured for division among the graft
crs. Mems honor was made the subject
of barter as freely and openly as if it
w ere an ordinary thing for contractors
10 bribe and officials to be bribed. Just
how far the system of corruption went
will probably never be known. Mr..
Br stow himself does not attempt to
estimate the loss to the government
by The operations Of the postofice ring
but he does show an astounding con-
clifton of rottenneas and does account
fer the loss of enormous sums.
OF an the men implicated, Machen

It should be explained that Machen
w-s a Cleveland appOintee, but voted
FOR Mckinley in 1896, and in 1900
avowed himself a Republican and got
in ON the sp0ils. He was not accused
Of crook dncss during the Cleveland

bis rc euiauons began after he became
an adherent Of the Republicans then
in Office. For that matter. the condi-

report is national disgrace and it

CANDIDATE DEANS CONTEST.

THE CONTEST INSTITUTED by
1 George %. Dean. defeated candidate
for councilman in the Second precinct.
AGAINST Councilman-elect Burbidge. his
successful opponent, looks like an at
TEMPT to stir up unnecessary trouble
and 20 put Mr. Burbidge to uncalled-
for expense. 1T does not seem possible
that 1Ir. Dean can gain anything by his
action The council that canvassed the
returns from the second precinct con
tains a heavy Republican majority.
That majority surely could be depended
upon TO safeguard the rights OF a fell
low Republican, Mr.. Dean.
Nevertheless. there was no word of
protest from any member Of the coun-
oil against giving SIR. Burbidge a GER
g.acatc of election. The face Of the
returns showed the election Of Mr..
Burbidge by eleven votes. Admitting
that there was a mistake Of ten votes
AGAINST the councllman-elect, and this
s. all that was claimed at the outset
by the friends Of Dean, Burbidge stul
has q plurality of one vote True. one
vote is very scant margin, but IL is
enough. Men have been elected to more
important offices than councilman by
10 greater a margin.
we remember very distinctly that at
the.city convention held two years ago
by the Republican party a candidate
for treasurer was named by a majority
that consisted Of only fraction of q
vote. Nevertheless his nomination was

A Real Blowout.

A double chimney. a hot blast stove
and a jag were jointly and seVerally
responsible for what is about TO be mar
rated. The chimney formed a portion
Of the partition between the two sides
Of a double house, each side being &C
cupied by a family. The jag, the stove
and a citizen shared a bedroom on one
side The chimney had a hole for each
side of the house. One Of these holes
was filled by the pipe from the stove,
while the other hole was closed by a
metal cap, the family on the other side
having no stove in the bedroom. The
jag, accompanied by the citizen who
bad it in custody came home about .
a. m. and started to boom things in the
stove. Hot blast stoves are fine things
when treated with due consideration.
but are bad actors when fired up and
closed tightly. The citizen knew this
when he was alone. but his jag argued
him out Of the notion on this occasion.
He opened UP the draft. filed the stove
with coal and presently the room was
too hot for him. He got out Of bed and
closed every draft and damper in the
stove. lie had just returned to his bed
VIXEN that neighborhood was Jared by
the blowing up of a hot blast stove.
The door Of the stove came across the
room to share the bed with the citizen,
the ash pan plOwed a furrow in the
floor and the top Of the stove made re-
peated efforts to force a passa &c
through the ceiling. The citizen was
mildly surprised, Of course, but the jag
did much to allay his excitement and
he simply turned over and went TO sleep
without arising It was on the other
side of the partition that the busy time
occurred Coincident with the shock
Of the explosion inhabitants of the bed
beneath the chimney hole Joined in the
belief that the judgment day had ar
rived. The cap was ripped loose and
shot across the room, making its way
TO the street through a window opposite.
Several yards Of lath and plaster, to
say nothing of many pounds of SCOT,
fell on the bed, the carpet, the furni-
ture the lace curtains. etc. all imme-
diately following a vivid burst Of dame
that gave way 10 total darkness and
sUffocating smoke. AS soon as the oC-
cupants of the bed asCertained that the
world was still moving through space
at it's accustomed speed. and that they
were still part OF it's equipment. they
started an investigation that has not
yet been completed. After daybreak
they were bic to form a faint idea of
the damage their bedroom had sus-
tanned. but further details Of loss are
developing every day. The citizen on
the other side parted company with his
jag before he arose and profusely apOl-
ogized for the bad behavior of his stove.
remarSing that he could not understand
why It exploded. al if had never done
that before. His apology was not aC-
ceptcd and the children Of each house
hold have been sternly cOmmanded not
to commingle I'm play with children

THE DRgYFue oAsE AeAIN.

FRANCE is to be agitated once more
4 by the case Of Alfred Dreyfus.
The troubles Of this most unfortunate
man have won for him the sympathy
Of almost the entire world, and GER
tainly Of All people who have an IN
teIligent understanding Of the injus-
tees to which he has been forced 10
submit. We believe that even III
France a majority of the people sym
pathize with Dreyfus, who has been
degraded. Imprisoned, tortured in MIND
and body, and all but murdered, be
cause of the crime of some other Of
fcer in the French army.
When Dreyfus was brought back
from Devils island. where he had been
held a prisoner for several years, and
formally and with a great flourish par
doned, unthinking people settled back
with a sigh of satisfaction and the
thought that justice had at last been
done 10 poor Dreyfus. They were mis-
taken. It is not justice to pardon a
nan for something ne has not done A
pardon Is not an eXoneration- Many
men have refused 20 accept a pardon,
under the belief that such acceptance
would carry with it at least a tacit ac-
acknowledgement Of guilt.
Dreyfus accepted his pardon. not as
a vindication. not with the theory that
it cleared his name not with the un-
Outstanding that he would cease for
ever from attempts to wash from his
record the blot placed there by his
enemies. Now he is to have another
trial: this time a judicial inquiry. On
former occasions Dreyfus has been
tried by bitterly prejudiced military
commission. or cOurtmartial. every
member Of which had previously made
UP his mind to convict the defendant,
regardless Of his guilt or innocence.
Before a judicial tribunal, accus-
toned to weighing evidence. capable Of
looking into the case of Dreyfus in a
dispaeeionate. fair and impartial man
uer, Dreyfus has a better chance for
complete exoneration than he has ever
had. And most Of us win join I'm wish
ing him a fun measure Of success. The
patient struggle of this man to clear
his name is pathetically heroic. For
years his one hope by day His one
dream by night, has been to hand down
to mis- children an unsullied name. by
the record as well as by the reality
The chance he has now win. almost
beyond a doubt, be the last that will
ever be- offered him. He may be de-
pended upon, broken in health and en-
barrassed financially though he is, to

BURsi0eE FOR CHIEF.

TIE ANNOUNCEMENT that Mayor
4 elect Morris has decided to appoint
John Is. Burbidge chief Of police can
hardly fail Co cause satisfaction not
only to- the friends of the appOintee-
c-aot. but 10 the general public. For
many months AIr BUrbidge. whose Of
fetal title is captain of police, has been
acting chief. He has fulfilled his duties
A. such a mannGr as to give evidence
o. his capabnity. During the time re-
farred TO Captain Burbidge has had the
responsibility without the authority,
for no man who is not secure in his po-
sition can have the authority which
goes with a formal commission.
An excellent feature Of the appoint
meut lies fin the fact that it cannot be
considered reward for political serv-
ices. True. Captain Burbidge is a Dem
ocrat. but he has never been an often
sive partisan, always preferring to de-
vote his entire time TO the duties for
which the taxpayers pay him. His Sc
lection is an indication that the police
department win not be turned into a
political machine, but that It viii be
operated for the benefit Of the people.
for the enforcement of the laws and for
the protection of property.
The appointment is merely a promo
tion IN recognition OF faithful service.
Captain Burbidge has gi9en some Of the
best years OF his life to the police serv-
fee. Starting on the force as a patrol
man. he has worked his way steadily
upward by sheer force Of merit through
the various grades until now ne is to
have the most important position I'm the
department.. The Herald congratulates
Captain Burbidge on his advancement.
and it believes the public is also enti-
tied 80 congratulations.
