NO. 27 Our Washington Letter. ,,.,. I. Correspondence of the Weeklv.1 Washington, D. C, June 30, 1903. President Roosevelt has acnounc ed; in a semiofficial way, that he intends to stand by the Postmaster General in spite of the popular de niand voiced by the best newspapers in the country, regardless of party affiliation. Moreover, the President anrears to be afraid to demand the resignation oi is.auu, tuuuucuuu rierk to the Postmaster General, al. hough his unfitness for a place of trust has been clearly demonstrated, especially irithe republican press. To every close observer it is obvious tha the first' wish of Postmaster General Payne is to minimize the scatUal ancjconyert the investigas tion into a perfunctory inquiry such he had - in mind when he first found that some sort of investiga ticn was inevitable. The determine .ati'ou of the President is, however.re gardedvvith considerable satisfaction by the democrats who say that the people will never be satisfied with an investigation conducted along the Payne policy and that they will appreciate that only a democratic administration will be willing to lay bare the ulcers which have long festered under republican admini stration. cern a second time, the assumption being that the contractor had "inn fluence" with Secretary Wilson or with Assistant Secretary Brigham.

It is alleged that the Indian agents have certified the country distillers who apply, and the regulation internal revenue officer will be kept at each of these distiller ies a3 heretofore.

The new summer school for teach- Ilavmg failed in his enorts to save r Berry Heath from being smirched as a consequence of his official acts, the Postmaster Gen eral, and to a large extent the republican press, is now trying to make him the scapegoat for all the roiruotion which the T u 1 1 o c h charges and the Bristow reply re vealed. In this connection a bit of inside history is interesting. Ferry Heath was charged with the fulfillment ot seven thousand (7,000) nledcres made by Senator Hanna during the campaigns which elected I Hanna senator and McKinley presi dent. It was for the purpose of fulfilling these pledges, taking care of Mr. Hanna's 7,000 debts, that Heath was made First Assistant Postmaster General. He did his work well and without any qualms of conscience but now that the facts have become public Mr. Heath is charged with the whole responsibil ity white Mr. Hanna goes free from public censure. It is only justice to Payne, more, to say that he went into the Postoffice Department pledged to take care of Hanna's friends, those who had cooperated with Heath and especially Machen who had, by his manipulation o the rural free delivery service, saved manv western republican congress man from defeat. This was the secret, of Payne's attempt, clumsy and misguided but none the less sincere, to take care of Machen and his crowd. ed on the reservations in order that they might profit by the extra number cf rations and allowances issued.
