It will learn with regret that in the face of all these interesting disclosures this discretion is now used to put an end to the investigation itself. Yet this is the fact. It mav be. as has been tinted -several times, that this in- 'vestfgatton has developed too much. It .may oe tnat the characters of high offi cials are. too seriously involved to carry the inquiry to its legitimate conclusion, or u may oe mat trie sop or ritney's re moval is deemed sufficient to silence public clamor and put an end to public curiosity. At any rate, the investiga tion has been ordered stopped. The officials who composed the investiga ting committee have been ordered to their regular desks and the whole thing enas. t nis win De a sore disappoint ment to Mr. Windom's friends, who have pointed to his energetic method orreiormwith some boasting and much pride. NEW FACTS COMING TO LIGHT, The reason for this sudden change of tactics the astonished public must fig ure out ior itseir. simultaneously with this discovery new facts are coming to tne suriace wm&a snow most conciu sively that the Secretary was on the right road. A little further down be Leath the overcoats and bay rum and lunches of forty-candle power would have been found still richer ore. So far the committee has beefi surface- mining. A little deeper and it would have struck a woman, perhaps two wo men. There has been some surprise expressed that the woman in the case has not been discover ed. She has turned up in a sealskin cloak worth $750 and diamonds and otnir trappings to match. The same official who passed upon Custodian Pit ney 's accounts is alleged to have passed upon the woman. The sealskin robe of $750 value is not. it must be under stood, the regulation wrap for Treasury ladies drawing $750 to $900 per annum, nor is there ony law providing for the same out or the contingent iund Where twelve 'overcoats came from charged as "billiard cloth" for desk covers, it was not impossible to extract a $750 sealskin charged as something else. The same lady, it is very properly stated, did not wear the royal contin gent to the office, but came m a com mon $175 affair of the same extraction This precaution was observed to pre vent the inevitable jealously and dan gerous envy of her sister clerks. The same favored lady is reputed to live in a very nanusome estaoiisnment in a fashionable part of the town, to support which must require from hve to ten thousand a year.

THE SECRET SERVICE BTJREAU, With all tliese developments it would seem that the official inquiry was real ly getting too heavy a contract forMr vvindoms young men to handle. Knowine ones in the Treasury declare they have only scratched the surface of things. There isone branch of the deH nartment which, bv reason Of its pecu liar formation and mysterious relation with the public has long excited sus picion, out which has yes escapea in vestigation. When its history is ex posed to daylight it is sate to say mere will be. cause for unusual astonishment. It is possible it never will be inquired into, tboush several distinct efforts have been made by various Congresses. This mysterious branch is as much un known to law as was the official posi tion of Custodian of the Treasury. It in-factVTiiiknown to yqody outside ox its own narrow cirue.- xnis curious litue clique was created by the secre tary of the Treasury; is responsible to nobody and enjoys an uninterrupted existence of secce4f3Tou may ex amine the blue bdofexotTreasury regis ter in vain for it felTott wjll find none of. its members enrolled on the records. and the: salaries and. emoluments and expenses are not given publicity. There are only thirteen opertitbrs,yet nearly a hundred thousand a year is absorbed by them, and their amounts are not subject to inspection. It is termed the Secret Service Bureau. The chief is an English gentleman, named Brooks, off reputed uncertain niscory, wnoso auty consists in presng over tbis bureau of thirteen naysterious men herein Washington at a salary of $4,000. a year. The commissioner of customs, a man learned in the law, gets but $4,QQ0, and so does the register 'Of the treasury whilw siv auditors set but E3.600 per in. num. civimf heavy bonds and avinir i me resppmwuHy 1 o f ueayy uuiereHLa an.u large numueva o etupioyes. vuiei; Brooks runs thii teen men and'draws $4,000 per annum and five dollars per diem of incidental expenses when he leaves the City on business; What this per diem and incidental business can be made to amount to is a problem lit hicrher mathematics. The salaries of 13 operators are from, five dollars to seven; dollars per diem and. the same un? known Quantity for. constructive: sub sistenca and incidentals. As may M readily 'inferred the chief has a fat thing, x But this is not enough for the Brooks famuyi-iQiiJ&jTeierence to the WvVa nf- t.hn Treasurer's offlca hla sort AvftBrooks,is founato-be recipient oi 99. per tueui ouh. vuv bcmscw possible mciaeptais as an agent i ternal revenne. . a. utue iurmer inquiry uu tidhuusuwuiw " 1 ter L -Bfooks, is qiiartered on the gov ernment, as a ciercaaTtne rension Office at $1,400 a tear, and herd is stilt another tfrooits, brother, John, of .New ark, it, J, where ,.the 'JJrooks family have ostensibly residedsince their ar rival from England, drawing a govern ment.per diem and: incidentals.4; Yes, and here 4s still another, nainedi Bur nett, a. nephew Of Chief Brooks and an employe of the latter at $5 per diem. If there are any other Brookses in exis tence and belonging to this remarkable family they are-unknown here, but it is safe to bet if they do exist they are drawing a government per' diem some where. . . . A REMARKABLE FAMILY. This neat family arrangement has been going on for several years,; all through the : pious Hayes administra tionall through the rigid orders of John Sherman against - more than one of a family in. office. -The aggregate per diem of the Brooks' family during the last five or six years must be some thing handsome.. As for incidentals,, the very contemplation of the possi- bilrties.sgg;stfcd by such a thrifty set is absolutely appalling. The Brooks -fcrand of goods comes a little expensive, but then it is imported. There is so .much back of this that it can be merely suggestea nere. i nac a man or any sort has the power to fasten his. entire brood upon the public treasury shows how dangerous such a man may be If, like Custodian Pitpey, he should -be-a little off-color in management' or mor-; als. Pitney was in a measure open to public scrutiny. The Chief of this Se cret Service Bureau is responsible to nobody and his deeds are-hidden in the-' secret archives of the Treasury. What a mine of richness lies beneath that cloak of secrecy no one may ever know, but it should have been known before the end of Mr. Windom's investigation. TKICff IJSI2E. . The Inaect More Commoa in German : t ban lu American Hants. The London Medloal Times and Ga zette just received contains an. elabo rate article on the official report on trichinae and trichinosis prepared by the late Dr. Glazier, of the marine hos pital service. The article concludes as follows : No country is- exempt from tTicninosis, American meat has earned an m-repute greater than it deserves simply because greater attention has been directed to it,- Many outbreaks in Germany referred to it (American meat) nave oeen reaiiy caused . oy lierman grown hams, and only one in this coun try (England) . was from a home-fed animal. As regards Germany, trade jealousies have played an important part, ana even scienunc men nave al lowed themselyes to make rash and un proved assertions, though some, like Prof. Hesche, have honorably admitted their error. American and German hams have been equally at fault, and since so valuable a supply of food Can not be cut off, and each one may pro tect nimsen py proper care in cooKing it, the legislative action of the conti nental governments seem unjustifiable. though if it drive the authorities of the United States to vigorous efforts for the rehabilitation of their credit, it may oe productive oi good. i ewe ."i - National Finances. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says ; "If the pub lic revenues iteep up tne ngures which have been prevailing for some time, the cash balance in tne Treasury on the 30th of this month, the end of the fiscal year, wilt run close uo to 8i70.ooo.ooo; About $16,000,000 of this will be used to liquidate the 6 per cents., which the holders decline to on vert into the new three and a half per cents.
