ming TO strike about in places close

gwen himself up voluntarily after
the police seemed to be unable to
get him, has had Postmaster Gen.
eral Payne subpoenaed to appear as
a witness in his case, and the p. M.
.. promptly repudiates the sub
poena and refuses to appear. He
says he is sick, and must perforce
spend few weeks down at Virginia
Hot Springs TO recuperate his health.
lie probably knows too much OF the
doings of his private secretary, Mr..
ii III. Rand, in connection with
Beavers and Machen's industry in
the grating game in the Post Office
Department, and does not desire TO
be questioned under oath. In fact.
he is doing all in his power to stop
the publicity of details of the Post
Office Department. scandal, and
now he gives it out that the end is
IN sight and that there will be moth
ing more doing after the first of
October. He knows full well that
there are too many members of
Congress and Republican leaders
mixed up in the matter who must
protect the looters, and some of
them too much dread an investiga-
ton to allow the matter to proceed
further. Such competent machine
politician as the p. M. G.. knows
that the Republican party cannot
receive any more such hard knocks
as 1t has received by even a small
part of the scandal thus exposed to
public view, and survive the treat
ment. How the Republican party
leaders are praying that something
will turn up to distract the minds of
the public from this nasty mess.
See how the Beirut incident was
seized upon to take the minds of
the people from the scandals crop

The affairs of government. The
Panama Canal affair IS also being
used to get the minds of the people
from the rottenness of the Depart
ments as administered by the Re-
publican party, but all in vain.
Those little incidents are but the
wonder of an hour, and the minds
OF the people wander back to their
muttons, the scandals in the De-
partments at Washington. Like
Banquo's ghost, they will not down,
but return with perplexing persis-
tency to plague an administration
that is rotten to the core. The
