WASHINGTON LETTER
Prom our SeinUr Corrcspoalent.
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

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

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?"
