Mai Isez aInvestigatiOn."

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
In one Of the editorials Of The Times, on the
18th inst. appeared the following criticism
snent the resolution Of Senator Csrmack for an
investigation Of the Postofice Department:
This very postonice business Is case in point.
Senate committee sat for weeks IN the nineties
listening 20 the testimcay OF witnesses who told
much OF what the Erzfters in the department
were then doing. Did the Senate DO anything

the Senate solefnnly resolved-nO. II didn't even
resolve: il simply sent the testimony 70 be
printed at great expense TO the taxpayers, and
then went 70 sleep again.
The investigation mentioned took place very
soon after the Inauguration CT President Nc

Senate The sessions Of the committee were
held IN the Nsltby Building, near the Capitol;

committee were several ardent civil service re-

A Tale With a Moral.

Twas a gloomy glade mid the lowering shade
OF fozes- dank and dark;
And every decent creature slept,
For the gray OF dawn had scarcely crept
DER the morning SKY. But, hark!
Amid the silence there may be heard
The drowsy chirp Of the Early Bird
To the ground he fits. where he lightly sits.
Then hops with A movement gay
''Cheep-cheep. te-whit!" and he flaps his
wings
.'Oh I'm the Early Bird he sings
And also ''Tu-lu-ra-layt'
But. though he carols it through and through,
His joyful warbIe does not ring true.
10. a twig that lies beneath his eyes
OF a sudden appears TO squirm.
And there comes from under his very feet
A faint. fine sound that I can't repeat
The voice Of the Early Worm
And the glade is stiller than still can be
At thought Of the coming tragedy.
1T is up to me" sobbed the worm. Ito fee,
Were 1 not such a sleepy thing
But the bird was wobbly his feet

And his head fell under his wing.
And. sweetly mingled, there soon were heard

So many blunders that his majesty. unable to

The next day the general called on the King,
ana among other things announced his regret
that Captain So-and-SO had resigned; he did
not know why. but something had happened
which rendered It impossible for him 10 remain

Il was at this time, too. at a public dinner
in Newcastle. he made one Of the greatest
biunders Of his life. when he said; I'VE may
be for or against the South. but there is no
doubt that JEFF Davis and other leaders Of the
South have made an army; they are making. it
appears, a navy; and they have made. what Is
more than either they have made a nation ="
All the world took this TO mean that England
was about to recognize the Independence Of the
South, and ne twas never to hear the last Of
this blunder.'

his long and eventful diplomatic career,
which extends over period OF hfty-twO

gathered from the fact that he was
badly wounded In the revolutionary ris-
inRs in Italy in 1873 in which he took
part az a student OF the University OF
Turin. and that he entered the depart
ment OF foreign affairs in the Sandman
capital in 1851
He soon attracted the attention OF the
farnous Italian statesman Cavour. then

afternoon, a few hours before leaving
