I0SEJELI .Entitled to Much Praise for the Postal Scandal Investigation. The publication of the condensed report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, accompanied by a memorandum by President Roosevelt, has furnished no new information on the postal scandals/' hu t it throws much light upon the manner in which the.. Investigations have been carried on, No one who reads it can fail to be convinced t f the able, thorough and impartial manner in which the dishonest transaction begun by Macheu in 1893,^during ^President Cleveland's administration and last- iug up to within the last few months, Were exposed regardless of the promi­ nence and political influence o f those exposed, ' When in January the president was first informed of the condition of affairs in the post office department, he gave- Mr. Bristow full power to carry out a rentltss. investigation, in which he was aided by 40 inspectors, For niany months they worked hard hard and faithful. The records o f 1000 post offices were examined, and the files of many divisions of th e . de­ partment for the last v«nv%weie Scrutinized. - As a reaultr lour officers of the department have( resigned and thirteen Imve been removed. The total amount which the dishonest official received by traduleut hieans is about $400,000; but this amount is small compared to tlm loss of the g.- v- eruiucnt by the purchasing of uunec- essarry «r iuferior supplns at exnr- bitnut rates’ This amount cannot be accurately, estimated lu ins review b!' the report,, the president eSpi esses thorough satisfac­ tion with the work of Bristow and makes plain the intention .of the -ad­ ministration ’ to do all possible to bring the offenders, officials' and others to justice, tie approves the recommendation ofSpecinl Counsel Bonaparte and Gonrod that the stat­ ute of limitation be exteuded in the case of government servants to a per­ iod of at least'five years. The attor­ ney. general will recommend such a law in his report fo Congress. The president rightly says, “ No,crime Calls for sterner reprobation than the crime of the corruptionist in> public life and of the man who seeks to cor­ rupt him. The bribe-giver and the bribe-taker are equally guilty.”. Opponents of the administration, who hope to make political capital cut of tbejpostal frauds,should remem­ ber that President Roosevelt is en­ titled to the credit of directing one of the most thorough investigations of public corruption,' which have yet been made.

His Invitation to a Formal Dinner With Queer! Victoria* Lawrence Jerome, whosO sister married Loyd Randolph Churchill, was something Of a practical joker, says a London paper. Onco when he was visiting a t Osborne House, then the royal residence, his eye lighted on some of the royal sta­ tionery. “ Oh, my dear sir," said he, “how envied I could make my­ self in America if only I could take some of th a t stationery with me I” Jerome's friend forthw ith got him some, and Larry lay low. Some days later he was invited to meet a swell crowd on James Gor­ don Bennett’s yacht. So h e t care­ fully wrote an epistle,, purporting to come from the queen, binding him to dine a t Osborne House. This was to lie delivered to him during dinner. Ten minutes before the royal invitation was due to arrive a real invitation from some lo rd was handed to him. He excused himself and opened the letter. “ What is it some one ventured to ask. “Oh, no th ing ” answered Larry, with a S rVn; “only an invitation from rd So-and-so to dinner.” - T h a t made th e company stare. But fancy th e ir surprise when a groat white envelope with tho royal insignia plainly showing w a s' % ■ltim. l ie sighed as lie broke the seal. “Well,” he murmured half to himself, “ this is getting to bo ft beastly bore.” “ What is i t? ” was the question 6ncc more. “Oh, ju st a bid from th e queen to eat dinner a t Osborne.” “And do you consid­ e r th a t a "-bore?” “Oh, well, no doubt the intention is good,” said Jerome, “bu t you can 't tell^ how these formal th ings pall on a simple American like me inter a lime.” But you may take your path th a t ■Jerome accepted the real invitation with a lacrity .. ~ ..- ... ^ rvf-.t-u •, A Polite Prisoner. The lady who was visiting the ja il had, been much impressed with tho appearance and behavior of th e pris­ oners, and she took occasion to ex­ press her approval to the warden. .“They seem as courteous as any­ body,” she said enthusiastically* “ even if they don’t say anything.” “ Yes, they’re polite enough,” as­ sented the jailer. “But I ’m a little suspicious of too line manners.” 1 “I don 't see how yon can be,” ex­ claimed the lady. “Well, I am,” declared the ward­ en, “and I have been ever since one of th e smoothest of them broke out of jail and left a no te fo r me in which he wrote, *1 hope yon swill pardon me fo r the liberty I am t«k* fag.’ ”—‘Youth's Companion, Hats andCap£ jOHKMftfWat* Buying bero means the wearing of a stylish bat or cap with the outlay of a very little money, ‘Come in and look over out magnificent line, which is the most complete m Springfield, We are confident that we can please you itt style, quality and price, Bats from 4& to $3,50.
