The story of Kraft in the fvderal depart ut'nt lie'rb is spreading worse tbaii yellow fever. It instated that the charges sprung oil the Geo logical survey will necessi tate a thorough probing of that bureau arid that the mere connection of some of ficials with a wining pa per in the west, while admitted ly improper will iVdt tie tli'e roost serious thing unearth ed. The charges against the weather bureau are started in on equally well founded partisan evidence to be "en tirely absurd" und ''capa blebP'full substantiation." It is likely that both bureaus will receive the attention of the Keep Commission and how much turns up or how much remains hidden is a mat terofthe future. There re mains yet. the War, Navy and State Departments td be caught in the drag net aud then the round of the depart merits will be complete. To be sure tho State Department had a little scandalof itHOwn some time baek, but theehar ges in the Bowen-Loomis case were dismissed as un founded and it has been cons sidert'd a rather unsafe thing to criticise high state depart tnent olliciaks einco then. It is quite possible, however that if a thorough investiga tiou of the departments were tuado some queer things might, be turned up in t h e line ol "visits to inspect con. siliates", and other relics of bretious administrations. Thisisonly thrown out as a suggestion. The Army and Jti V.V haye boen singularly free from serious scandals, that of Capt, Carter, being the only time an engineer of fir or was evef Ktidwh1 to go wrong; while the chances' for graft in the navy are limited so far as the actual Burvice is concerned though there are ome phases of war-ship con struetibn that might stand looking into. The investigation in theAg ncultural Department has taken a rest for the time be fn'jj. Ex-Statisticiatu Hyde Hag announced hid intentidri of returning" frbm England a fid this is taken its art evi dence of his ignorance and honesty, H was severely ceo isured by his friends in Wash ington for running away ou the very eve of the investiga tion and it waabelievf d to be at the personal instigation of the Secretary of Agricul ture that he decided to return. A clever man would hardly bavu putbimseif in such upo sition for criticism and know ingly dishonest one would have stayed abroad onee, he got safely there. Meantime Secretary Wilson hasaononn ced his intention to forego a vacation this summer and to stay at home and clean up the investigation busi ness this summer. There is comparatively little of the summer left for such a lartio job. It has apparently been proved -by outside evidence that there was nothing wfong in the Bureau of Ani with the meat label bvsiness: tut there will probably be a number ofdisaureeable t nines unearthed when it comes to investigating trie whole 01 the meat subject in the De partment, It is claimed by somen the smal) cbujpeti- tors of tho fleet Trust that they could not get meat ln spectors assigned to their plaritB by the Department and were prevented therefore from usingthe Department's certificate label and pu,t at a .J Ji A-ii .111 uitruuvHuiage expeciaiiy in the ekport trade Where such a label is a necessity. At the same time Dr. Salmon"; .the head of the Bureau of Ani mal Industry states that he was not given enough money to pay the meat inspectors, that the business of his bu reau is now running 6,000 to $8,000 a month over its limit and if there is not some radical action taken by Con- greas he will not be able to carry on the inspection work next year. That is just where t. he hitch has come between the execu tive departments and Con gress and promises to raise considerable trouble at the coming session. The action of the Ihiimu of Animal In dustry in running ahead of its appropriation is only a sample of what is going on very largely in nil the depart meats. It is a practice bitter ly resented by the legislative branch of the government and is one bound to cause trouble when the appropria tion bilh come up at tho im pending sessiou. The supporters of the ad ministration are still busily explaining the attitude 01 the executive toward tho coming reciprocity confennce, This Is a very sore subject both at the White llouso. tempo rarily installed at Oyster Bay, aiid ifi the various de partments where the mem bers of the cabinet preside. The fact is that tho adminis tration wliile pledged to re ciprocity diid tariff revision, has been badly snubbed by Congress on the subject of reciprocity treaties and is a fraid of getting tangled up with an unofficial derndnetra tioh that however much it may believe and assert itself to be strictly non'-iVaftipau.j is likely to develop a strong political bias before the last voto of thanks is rendered. Tha country decidedly needs both a scaling down of the tariff walls and a senb'ble ar rnngement with foreign coun tries on which reciprocity treaties could be negotiated. The matter is being deloyed and put off and probably will uot be touched till as lute as possible in the coming ses sion. Rut the movements of foreign countries in the line of discriminating duties makes it imperative that the situation shall be met in the near future, und it is 'simply a question of whether the highly protected interests will allow congress to make the necessary conces6ioD6"of whetb'r the conntry is going to b") plunged into a commer cial war with the rest of the world that will prove quite armed right ih the far east ti.is been. 4 .. Japan has notified thiH government, unofficially, of course, that she will do h e r utmost to discourage labor ers from going to Panama, The same sort of resistance has been met in Italy arid China, the rither two coun tries where it wasinteuded to advertise lor laborers, and It looks now as though this country were going to be thrown back on the native labor supply for digging the big ditch beeweeh the two 0 ceahs.

The world owes no man a ti vitrg, but it owes every man " Sam Jones' Centre Shot News and Observer. ' During the campaign of 19.04 the Independents of the country who so love to bal ance their administration as to give neither party an ad vantage, congratulate the vo te'rs of Missouri and Illinois that they had an opportuni ty to vote for ah honest and vigorous foe to graft .and InwlpHunpaq in pnh &tntiv They urged all independents in Missouri to vote for Folk, "the democratic Reformer," ahd in Illinois to vote for De neeh, "the tlepublican Refor mer." Whether upori their ad vice or hot, the voters elect ed Polk ahd Deneen, In Mis souri, "the Democratic He former" has been busy, lie put ah end to the corrupt lobby that has infested Jef ferson City, composed in part of Democrats, and has given the whole world a splendid object lesson of vigorous en forcement of the law, chal lenging theadmirution of the men who believe that laws were made to be enforced, and receiving the hatred of the high-class gamblers and law breakers who think that they are at liberty to con tinue to violate laws that they do not like. Folk has ,imadegood"and shown that his vigorous pros ecuion of grafters in St. Lou is was no "temporary spasm of virtue to get the Govern ship," as his enemies declar ed, but proceeded from a con yictioti of duty that guides his public life. What about Deneen? in n recent address ut the Baptist Chitaqua- in Springfield a few days ago Sam Jones fired a cent re shot when, after referring to sever Governors, be said: "Illinois alaoolected amigh ty good Governor In Charles S. Deneen. liy the way, what has become of him? I havn't heard from him since he was electd. h h deno?" Come to think of it, haye you even so much as seen a reference to Goveror Deneen since he was elected? What is he doing to justify the confi dence of the people who put hirn in the same class with Folk? When Mayor Dunne was lighting against the mo nopoly iu street car truospor to tioh in Chicago end urging municipal ownership, &li8re was Deneen? lie is a citiian of Chicago, The beef trust is a resident of 1 linois and is daily robbing t be people of Illinois and every other State in the Republic. What is Gov efnor Deneen doing to pro tect the people from its ra pacity? Legislation that in creases the wealth of the few has disgraced Illinois, whul is Goyernor Deneen doing t;o supprest it? What has he done anyhow? Is he dead as a reformer?" There are plenty of men who are zealous against wrong ahd earnest for right in their early political career who fall by the wayside when temptation comes. There have been from time imme morial ca'ndidates.who make the people believe they are consumed with zeal to prose cute public enemies who be gin to hobnob with the graf- special privileges as soon M they are safely seated in of-) ' ' . fice.
