BITS OF WASHINGTON LIFE.
Minor scenes aud Incidents sketched

on the S9ot.
Postmaster General Cortelyou is giving
mighty hard knocks to the grafters these
days. He is not making much noise about
it, but his mailed fist lands every time.
He is exterminating get-rich-quick pro-
moters, gamblers, cheap jewelry vendors,
bunco steerers, patent medicine auacks
and other fakirs who employ the mail
service as a means of reaching their vic
Tins.
What worse fate can befall business
man than 20 be forbidden the privilege OF
receiving letters and to know, besides, that
all such communications addressed to him
are returned to the sender with the awful
brand fraudulent" stamped across his
name in damning scarlet letters. Such is
the penalty of the fraud order" given
only to the postmaster general to inhct.
The first fraud order was issued in 1879,
against the promoter Of the famous New
Orleans lottery. During the few months
that Mr. Cortelyou has been in Office he
has issued more of these judgments than
were signed in the first seven years of the
fraud order laws existence. He has run
out of business more than double the num-
Der of grafters who fell a prey to the
most energetic of his predecessors during
the same months of any year. Promoters
of fraudulent enterprises have been ex-
cluded from the mails at the rate of more
than one per day since the former score
tary TO President Mckinley took the reins
of the largest of our executive depart
ments
An anu-graft innovation was put into
effect almost as soon as he took up his new
duties. Former postmasters general had
been content to simply wait upon the COM
plants of outraged citizens who had been
buncoed. Not until then was the ball set
rolling for an investigation. Mr. Cortelyou,
however, had more strenuous notions. That
busy corps of detectives known as postoflce
inspectors had been lately transferred TO
the immediate Office of the postmaster gem
eral He ordered these sleuths to search a
certain class of journals for suspicious adj
vertisements. Ostensibly as private citizens
the inspectors now answer these seductive
offers and Uncle Sam returns the amount
to which they allow themselves to be bun
coed for the sake of cleaning evidence. The
bunco shop is then visited, and II affairs
there are down to the inspectors suspicious
action is Immediately taken.

For many years Senators Chandler and
Blair of New Hampshire were on bad
terms, refusing to recognize each other on
the street. At length they became recon
ciled after a fashion. One day they were
chatting with some colleagues when Mr..
Chandler complained Of suffering from lum-
baEo. The pain began" he said with A
twinkle in his eye, Just when I knelt down
to say my prayers last night" Mr.. Blair
said gravely; That's too bad And the
first time you ever did such a thing, too. 4"

The passing away of the old leaders in
the senate was strikngly emphasized in
a little incident that happened on the open
ing day, just before the upper house was
called to order. Senator Teller net SEN
ator Allison in the corridor and said
''Dfr. Allison, twenty-nine years ago today
I was sworn in as a senator of the United
State. You're the only member of the
body besides myself who was here then.
I also learned today that there is not a
single employee of the senate who was
here at that time. We are getting old,
Senator, we are getting old"
Tears sprang to the eyes of both Of
these gray-headed veterans, and as Mr..
Teller moved away Senator Allison said
to the friend with whom he was talking:
Senator Teller is right; we are getting
old. 1t won't be long before there will be
other boys here to take our places"
During the last year five of the old
leaders passed away. namely Plat and
Hawley of Connecticut, Hoar of Massa-
chusetts, Bates of Tennessee and Quay of

Twenty years ago Private" John Allen,
Tupelo, Miss, stood up in front of Speaker
John G.. Carlisle and took the oath of Office
as representative from the First Mississippi
district for the first time. Then he stepped
over to the box at the right of the speakers
chair and dropped in bill providing for
the erection of public building at Tupelo.
Years passed on and congresses came and
went But Private Allen continued. Seven
times he stood In front of the speaker and
swore to uphold the constitution, and each
time he dropped in the box that bill for the
public building at Tupelo. Fame and honor
came to Private Allen, but no public build
ing reared its stately walls on the vacant
lots of Tupelo.
with wit and story, argument and plea,
Private Allen strove for this monument to
the glory of his residential city, but all in
vain. Convinced at last of the futility of
his endeavors, Private Allen sadly and re-
gretfully relinquished the struggle, and the

In answer to The Stars remarks Of
yesterday regarding National Guard
appropriations the Advertiser says:
Hawaii does not ask for such appro-
priations. She doesn't have to. They
come without the asking. Appropria-
tons from the Federal Government for
military and naval purposes are none
of our business"
The fact is that Hawaii does ask for
such appropriations for military and
naval purposes, and some of the most
excellent and energetic asking has been
done in the columns Of the Advertiser
itself. 1t is not many months since
the Advertiser harshly criticized the
delegate to Congress for his lack of
influence to hurry such appropriations.

The exact facts about the army of
the Panama republic, it is to be feared,
have not been made known in this
country. 1t was reported that after
the abortive revolution Of November
the army was abolished and its gal

his estates. While that was true in
substance, it was not the whole truth,
A Panama correspondent of the Lon

concerning the maintenance Of an

dent Isenberg of the Senate, directing
prayers to be said alternately in the
English and in the Hawaiian language,
the expression was used that this was

has written to ask if this was a mis-
print, and if it was not intended to say

say that it was not a misprint; the
words throne of grace" were the ones
intended to be used.

1t is claimed for the chaplain of the
House that he has three times as big
a room to pray in as the chaplain Of the
Senate, and therefore ought to get
bigger pay. If put to it for argument,
the prepayment of this high salary pro-
position may yet claim that he prays
to bigger god makes better prayers,
or makes them for body that needs
them more than the Senate does. And
if true any one of them is a good ar
