The deficit in the U. S. postal service
will be larger this year than ever, be-
cause of the fraud in the service. One
hundred and ninety Congressman have
been accused of looting the treasury by
getting an increase for postal services
in their district, some of the money 60
ing directly into their own pockets.
The lid has been raised just enough to
let out a bad smell or the administra-
ton. Two weeks ago one of the great
est sensations ever in Congress was
made by the exposures of postal frauds
in the Bristow report, but the majority
has set down on an investigation. 1t
will not do in a presidential year.

Subordinates in the various depart
ments at Washington keep thirty car
riages at a cost of $25, 900 and supply

payroll as messengers. Most of these
officials never rode in a carriage habi-
tually until they came to Washington
and set up an establishment with the

Charles Emory Smith, exp Postmaster
General, is handled very roughly by
special attorneys Bonaparte and Con-

applied no remedy, and is justly identi-
fed in the public mind with the scan
