WHAT WILL TRIAL DEVELOP?
Washington Politicians DISCUSSING
Prospective Disclosures.

Washington, D. c., June 29.-The
publication Of the statement that For
mer Representative Loud. chairman
Of the pOstOffice committee. assisted
IN railrOading men into the classified
government service via the Bakers
field, Cal, route, has aroused lively
discussion of the probable sensational
developments at the trial of Former

said:

bum. I've got letters, letters, letters,
and if necessary, III publish them in
every paper in the country
Whatever Mr.. Machen may have
to say with regard to Mr.. Loud when
he takes the stand in his own de
tense, is considered relatively unim-
portant compared with the problem
atical character of his further testi
mony. The relations of Mr.. Machen

INVESTIGATION EXTENDED.
President Decides to Look Into All
Government Departments.

Washington. d. c., June 29.-The
revelations of the postotlice invest-
| cation have convinced President
| Roosevelt that the time has come
for a general overhaullng IN other
| government departments where the
same system OF bookkeeping and ac-
counts is IN use. The entire auditing
machinery is to be looked into.
Secretary Shaw OF the treasury de-
partment has given up his plan for
spending the summer abroad and will
! stav in Washington 20 direct the
work. His travelling arrangements
| were all made and he cancelled them
| at the last minute. The president con-
siders that Mr. ShaW's services are
| indispensable for the reason that all
the finances Of the several executive
departments center in the treasury
! department. All the auditors report
to the controller of the treasury and
the latter is responsible to the sec
! rotary of the treasury.
The auditing for the pOstOffice de-
partment seems TO have been very
| largely a perfunctory and routine per
Torrance. Many irregularities were
|
in other cases. these officials seemed
TO have no authority to check irregu-
larities which were Endorsed by "su-
perior officials If the auditing sys-
fem was Intellectual in one great de-
partment OF the government, there is
a natural suspicion that it may have
! been equally so in others. That is
what MI Roosevelt purposes to find
out in the next TWO months. but
there is to be no sensational over
| turning or newspaper expose unless
| subsequent events compel.
The president and the secretary OF
| the treasury are not talking about
what is to be done. nor are they max
Ing charges OF any kind They simply
want to know whether there is III
| other departments 2 condition SIM
| lar to that prevailing in the post
office department. Mr. Shaw de-
clines to affirm or deny that the audit
! ing system is. being investigated. 1t
| is known. haWeyer. positively. that
such is the case.
Will Report to Congress.
| The president Will have something
to say to congress next fall about the
| DOstOffice scandal. He will necGssari-
! ly have things to say about the sys-
TEN which permitted such corruption
to grow up and flourish. In order 20
speak intelligently or finally he must
! know whether the abuses are con-
fined to the pOstOffice or are common
to the other government departments.
| Any investigation which is to be done
he believes will be done to better adj
vantage while congress is not in SEES
sion.
He intends if possible to make a
clean and thOro job of it. leaving no.
thing for the politicians seeking to
make political or personal capital. The
president believes the errors are
mostly administrative; and are not
such as can be corrected by addition
al legislation But if any amend
ments are needed. he will be ready to
take congress into his confidence and
| to ask for the passage Of such bill
as will make the safeguards about the
| treasury something more than mere
| fOrmalitieS.

Castles Position.

Secretary Shaw declines to say
whether or not he proposes an inves-
tigatiOn of Captain H. A. Castle of st
Paul, sixth auditor of the treasury
department, and in that capacity
charged with auditing all pOstOffict
accounts Speaking to The Journa
cores pendent today he said:
IF it were my present intention no
to investigate Captain Castle, shout,

matters might be disclosed rendering
an investigation advisable. On the

looking for an investigation, but like

UnIucky Senator Bard.

Senator Bard of California expressed
to the senate on Friday his belief that
reciprocity with Cuba would not be a
good thing for the United States. II is
somewhat CT a coincidence that Prasi-
dent Roosevelt is of the opinion that
Senator I-erkins alone should be con-
sidered in making California ap2oint-
ments.
Mr.. Bard seems to be contending
with a steady outpouring of bad luck
Last fail, being a new senator, he fell Il
victim to the. batteries OF eastern sen
ators and joined them in the opposi-
ten to statehood for the territories.
This was against the wishes of his own
constituents. Californians with politi-
cal influence developed a GOODNESS to-
ward the junior senator. and several
candidates are aspiring to be his sue
cesscr. He will have to make a despor-
ate fight in order 10 be reelected, a
year hence.

RuSsia'S Weakness.

1t is reported from London that the
reason of Russias unwiuinRness to
enter into a war with Japan is the
fact that the czar'c government appre-
hends domestic rebellion and dares
not withdraw from European Russia
the troops necessary for an effective
campaign in the far east.
The evidence cited to prove the con-
tention that discomfort is flercer, more
general and better organized than Us
ual in Russia at the present moment
Is not very definite or convincing
Probably the ear has no better reason
for dreading the revolutionary party
now than in former years. But is quite
true that domestic discomfort and the
revolutionary propaganda are CON
stantly elements of weakness in Rus
STA, which operate to chill the warlike
ardor of it's statesmen. The ear can
never depend implicitly on the loyalty
OF his people. In calculating Russia's
fighting strength allowances must al
ways be made for the necessity of
keeping large army al home to over
awe the revOIutionists, and any serious
disaster to Russian aims in foreign
war might easily lead to an uprising
that would shake the cars throne.
There are always men in Russia ready
to seize upon any such opportunity
to throw off the yoke, and the Russian
government never knows how many
such men there are, what their
strength IS, Eor how far their plans are
advanced. The great Russian empire is
Russia balks at war, favors inteTna-
tional arbitration and is genuinely
anxious to maintain the peace of Eu-
rope.
Russia is the only pure despotism
left among the civilized governments
of the world. Despotic Russia is an
anachronism. 1t cannot possibly endure
very much longer. 1t has lasted as long
IS it has merely because the ideas of
freedom have been slow to reach the >
great mass of the Russian people.
They have remained under despctic
form Of government because they hava
been unfit for any other form Of gov
eminent. But the leaven OF liberal
thought has long been working in
Russia, and now a very large part of
the population of European Russia is
fit for at least a measure of self-gov-
eminent. Under these circumstances a !

Pure Food Legislation.

conference of state pure-fOod represen-
tatives and of large manufacturing in

month. adopted n memorial asking

been again introduced in both houses
at the present session.
The subject is one of Importance to

The Quality of Phoenix Citizenship.

Every citizen of Phoenix has reason
to congratulate himself this Sunday on
the fact that he lives in this town. The
ordeal of yesterdays election was the
best possible test of the quality of
our citizenship, and that quality is of
the highest grade.
Although the question before the vot-
ers was one upon which there was rad
ical difference of opinion; although the
supporters and the opponents of the
bonds severally took the most intense
interest in the question, and although
each voter felt that the citizen who did
not agree with him was doing gr-at
damage to the public welfare, there
was not an angry word spoken IN all
the city. Everybody was in earnest,
but there IVES genuine respect for OPP
postte views, and each man treated ev-
erybody else with courtesy. And at nc
place. at no time of the day, was there
to be seen q man under the slightest
influence Of liquor
TO be sure there was abundance of
ground for this mutual respect. The
question was so many-s.ded that hon
est men might we'll differ. But the
voters had learned to-know each other.
In years of pioneer struggling to build
up a modern city in this valley our
people have learned 20 respect the
mattle of Phoenix citizenship. Togeth-
er, they have overcome obstacle after
obstacle. They have learned to know
that strong men have stong conv.c-
tions, and that in the westindividuality
is at par. When the determined cen
test of yesterday came TO a close an
other long mark Rad been made to the
credit of the law-a5idirg people of
this city.

A Prosperity Pointer.

An interesting Tcinter ON the pros
perity of the country is furnished by
the annual report of the comptroller Of
the currency. This report shows Il
marvellous increase in the banking bus
mess of the country.
The leans and discounts of the na-
tional banks this year reached their
maximum in the history of the system,
and on Sept. 8 they aggregated three
and a half billions of dollars. The cash
holdings of the banks increased So
00O,OOO over last year and deposits in
creased during the year $3f7OC0,OG0
bringing the total to $6,S52, 7OO,O55. This
remarkable sum is greater by more
than $G11. eco ,OCO than was credited to
deepest in all reporting banks in
1898.
