The Postotice Department is under
hot FIRE in the House over the report
presented to Congress in which men,
bers OF Congress are mentioned by
name as using their influence to have
appointments made OF postmasters
and otherpublic matters. Ifthisis not
part ofthe duties OF the Congress-
men those duties have been very
much misunderstood by the public
for years, and in making these rec
concentrations it is for and In behalf
OF their constituents, whom they
were elected to serve. And but for
the fact that their names are men,
toned in a report with criminals, but
little would have been said or
thought about it, but as this is the
case an investigation is thought nee
essary and one will be had. Mr..

ed, says that every member OF the
House, whether he was mentioned ia
the report or not, owes it to himself
TO insist on the fullest Investigation.

1t is almost certain that no action

is admitted by those who are most
anxious to have the case decided
without delay, believing as they do

who will become more aggressive in

IL is claimed that the investigation

see how they can deprive Mr.. Smoot

WHY WE SYMPHATHlZE WITH ia
PAN.

There can be no doubt that in spite
OF the avowed neutrality on the part
OF the United States government, the
sympathy of very large majority
OF the American citizens. ifexpressions
of the press OF the country can he
taken as a criterion, is with Japan.
Count Cassini, Russian Ambassador
at Washington, says that the Rus
sian people learned OF this sympathy
with painful surprise and bitter dis
appointment, which is now crystal
LIKING into a deplOrable feeling OF un-
friendliness," and he adds that a
careful analysis OF the criticisms ex-
pressed in this country fails TO show
any real ground for the bad feeling
which evidently prompts them
The Russian people and their repre-
sentative should know thatit is hard
TO account for the trend oisympathy
ia crises Of this kind, and that the
sympathies OF a nation are hardly
ever anywhere near equally divided
on questions of great moment, and
while no single great prompting
cause can be assigned, a great num-
Der of minOrconsideratiOns taken col
lectiyely give amply sufficient reasons
for the trend ofsympathy here. First
and foremost il was through the in.
strumentality OF the United States
that Japan began the career which
opened her ports to foreign trade,
which brought civilization to her PEG.
pie and placed her among the great
nations OF the world, both from a
commercial and military standpoint.
Again, when under the concerted ac-
ton OF the powers, during the recent
Chinese crisis, the integrity OF the
Chinese Empire was agreed upon,
with open ports TO that great coun-
try, Russia agreed TO evacuate Man
churia, where she had been Tor some
time establishing her influence and
military prestige. Her failure to evac-
uate, at the time prescribed, and her
reinforcement and strengthening OF
her position there, were Justly re-
garded as a violation OF her pledge,
and her continued presence in Man
chura is regarded as adverse to
American interests. Defeat of Russia
only means that she viii be eireum-
scribed to her present territory,
while defeat OF Japan means loss of
her national existence, aud naturally
having been instrumental in her adj
vancement TO civilization and ma
tional Importance, this country de-
sires that Japan shall maintain her
prestige. In other words, Russiaais
regarded by the American people as
being in the wrong and Japan is re-
garded as being for interests identi-
cal with ours.
The sympathy OF Russia for the
Union during our Civil war affords
nc reason why the South should now
sympathize with her. and whatever
benefit the North derived from such
sympathy, they regard as having
been repaid long since. Under all the
present circumstances the feelings
and sympathies OF the American
people will remain where they are,
whatever the action OF the govern
ment, and under the freedom OF the
press, guaranteed in our land, will
continue to find frequentexpressions.
