Quite a touching sermon might
be written on the text, BE sure
your sins will find you out"
placing the action of the piece
in the field of the present post
Office trials. There has been
quite a measurable degree of
house cleaning in connection
with the p~ostofice up to date.
There have been foroy-three in
dictments and six convictions for
fraud and conspiracy, the last
being that of George Beavers,
the former chief of the salaries
and allowances division all
around good fellow and mixer,
who has just exchanged the post
midnight fare of the Raleigh
Hotel for the more restricted
dietary of the penitentiary. Now
there comes the decision of
Judge Gould in the Criminal
Court o~verruling the motion to
quash the Indictment of former
State Senator George e. Green,
of New York, who is charged
with conspiracy to defraud the
Government in connection with
Beavers. The ruling in the case
was nothing very remarkable,
but it points strongly TO the con
viction of former State Senator
Green, and this is one of the
most important cases in a way
that the Government has yet
brought. Green was formerly a
close friend of President Roose-
welt. He aspired to follow
Roosevelt as Governor of New
York, and he was altogether a
promising politician of about
Roosevelt's age and with much
of his independence of party
letters. But Green was tempt
ed and apparently fell. There
is not much doubt about his fall
ing from the testimony the Gov
eminent has already brought
out. He was making a good
deal of money. but there was
easy money in sight and he
hankered for more of it. There
fore he got mixed up in the
postotice fraud cases, and he is
now in tie dock and in trepida.
ton lest he join Beavers in
Moundsville. He was a man who
might have closely followed
Roosevelt in his political career.
He had followed him a certain
distance and he was on terms OF
friendship at the White House
too within five days of his in
dictment. But now there is q
very different prospect ahead Of
him, and all because he did not
choose to follow the code OIL
square dealing which 10 reality
has made the President what he
is. Seven convictions are not
many cut of the forty-three in.
dictments. But there are about
a score of trials still to come
and the moral they point will be
a mighty wholesome to anyone
in the future who has the dis
bursting of Government money
or who is in a business position
where they can affect for i'll tn,
action of a Government official.

public as tight as they dared.
Some wise person claims to
have discovered the Joker" in
the Santo Domingo treaty. OF
course opponents of the treaty
always believed there was q
Joker" in it somewhere and at
last the person Of color has been
chased out of the international
woodpile. 1t consists in the
provision that the moneys col
lected from the customs, of
which United States has now
rescued about 81, 600, 1000 shall be
applied to the payment of both
the external and the internal
obligations of the island. 1t is
in the payment of this internal
debt that the trouble hides. 1t
seems that Santo Domingo is
blessed with what is known as a
deferred debt" Most of us
would like to accumulate that
sort Of a debt but can't. How
ever, Santo Domingo has sue
ceeded. This deferred debt is
the payment due extinct bands
of revolutionists. The arrears
of numerous revolutions now
amount, it is said, to about &c.
000, 900. 1t seems that when
there is a revolution, the gen
erals in the field collect cattle,
1 subsistence, rolling stock, and
the like and pay for them in
script. This script is always
duly recorded on the books of
tee government and is honored
alike by both parties because
the 'ins" never know when they
may be the outs" This script
now has little but prospective
value. Ten cents on the dollar
is the highest quotation. But if
the present treaty goes through,
it is said that the script will i'm
mediately touch par and I'M
numbered bands of forgotten
revolutionists will be brought
back to green and fragrant mem
ory., This feature of the treaty
is urged as one of the reasons
against it's adoption. Personal
ly, we can see very little in the
argument. This government
; seems doomed to the collection
of Dominican customs, and it is
doing it with considerable hon
esty and at small expense. Sc
long as we do tllis>small service
there is a reasonable prospect
that the obligations of the island
