SAYVIN COLT SHOULD GO?
Report That Inspectors VIII Recon-
mend the POstmaSter'S Dismissal.
JFRow TIRE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington. Feb pa report has been cur
rent IN Washington to-day to the effect that the
report Of the Inspectors who have recently in
vestigated the Ncw-York Postof1ce win recon-
mend the dismissal Of Postmaster Van Colt
When traced 10 its source il was found 10 have
ernanated from an official whose Information
has generally been correct. II was further as
certained that the inspectors did not charge
Postmaster Van Colt with any improper prac-
uces. but based their belief that he should be
removed the fact that gross nnala irlinistra-
ton had occurred in the office for which he was
Responsible. and that be had TO: given sufl-
GENTLY close attention 20 the Office to become
aware Of the fact
That the superiors Of tho inspectors VIII re-
gard this sufficient ground for removing the
POSTMASTER is not certain. I'm view Of the fact
that ii has been the custom for men Of affairs
10 accept the postmastership at some large Of
fee and then trust to their suhordinates 20 ad-
minister its affairs. There Is no question that
this custom is severely discouraged by the pres
ent administration. and that the searching in
Vestigation OF various postoflces which viii be
pursued for some time TO come viii have the
effect Of awakening postmasters all over the
country 10 the fact that the administration viii
bold them personally responsible for the man
agement Of their Offices hut il may ne held
that the present policy was not sufficiently es-
tahlished at the time Of the change OF admin
istraton IN the New-Yorl1 office TO warrant
drastic measures in dealing with the postmaster
OF that city.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow
Is stiu absent from his post. being convalescent
from severe attack OF grip. and the report OF
the inspectors Will probably be referred 10 him
for review before any action based the rec
concentrations OF his suhordinates IS taken.

WASHINGTON LETTER


nounces that an army officer should not
marry unless he has made some provis-
ion for the responsibility. True! This is
good advice for everybody, IN or out or
the army. "A married oIicer should ex-
ercise pruduce," he exclaims, lin select
ing a wife, Admirable! This is pre-
cisely what Gen. Corbin did when re
married Miss Patten, a young lady resid-
ing in this city, who inheri ed several
hundred thousand dollars from ner moth
err, the late Mrs. Anatasia Patten. But
Gen. Corbin appears to forget how well
tne Government provides fur the oiicers
Of the army. One has only to look at
he large and substantial homes it builds
for them at all the army posts, at the
ington. to see that they are provided for
lach better than most men, rent free.
It will probably be a long time before an
officer who wishes to marry will be
bl ged to get leave from the department;
of war.
