THE WASHINGTON LETTER.
The most Important and sensa
tion development In the current
postofilee investigation Is the remov
al, pending the completion or the
Investigation, of General Superin
tendent of. Free Delivery Machen
which step was taken by the post
master general at the request of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow who, in a communica
tion to Postmaster General Payne,
intimates that the completion of the
investigation will be mntorially
facilitated by Mr. Machen 's absence.
Machen has accordingly been granted
an indefinite leave of absence pend
ing the completion of the investi
gation but it is a matter of grave
doubt as to whether he will ever
again occupy his desk in the post
office department. In addition to
removing Machen, the postmaster
general has transferred the entire
division of free delivery to the
bureau presided over by Mr. Bristow
and has assigned as acting chief M.
C. Fosnes, the post office inspector
who made so envinble a record
cloaring up the tangle into which
Rothbone got the Cuban postal
service. Fosnes is regarded as one
of the most capable detectives in the
postoffice department and it is be
lieved that hereafter the investiga
tion will go on uninterruptedly and
that the entire scandal which hangs
about the freo delivery division will
be probed to the bottom. In view
of the strong political backing of
Machen, his removal is regarded as
an indication that the postoffice
scandals are to be thoroughly Bifled
regardless of political considerations.
Widely circulated reports concern
Ing the conduct of Russia in Man
chnria, that province of China which
adjoins the Russian frontier, have
given rise to the wildest speculation
and in some instances grave appre
hension. Subsequent advices from
more reliable sources, however, dis
credit tbe reports first sent out and
it is even doubtful if Russia has re
occupied Nia Chwang as was at first
reyorted. While accurate iinforma
tion regarding the situation in tbis
somewhat remote part of the globe
is unattainable, it is the opinion of
the state department that gross ex
aggerations have gained credence
and it is suspected that there is an
ulterior motive in the attempt to
secure from this country cooperation
in a joint protest to be made to
Russia by Great Britain and Japan.
At all events, no move will be made
by this government until authentic
information has been reoeived and
even if the alleged Intention of
Russia Bhould reoeive confirmation
it is doubtful if the United States
would feel called upon to protest.
Regardless of the sensation cable
grams which are likely to appear in
tbe newspapers from now on, the
people of this country have every
assurance that the United States
will not.be made the cat's paw of
the subject of nations interested in
commercial exploitation,
The state department has just
made publio for the first time its
version of the kidnapping of Miss
Ellen Stone by Bulgarians. Accord
ing to the state department officials
a grave error was made by the pay
ment of the ransom demanded, this
government having reoeived the
most positive assurances that Miss
Stone and her companion were safe
from all positive violence, and it is
claimed that a prcedent has been set
which will constitute a menace to
all other foreigners m that section
of the country. The report states
that despite the protest and better
judgement of the department the
entreaties of the missionaries, who
contributed no part of the f66,000
ransoms, were permitted to prevail.

The secretary of the navy stirred
up a tempest in a teapot before he
left to join the president in Cali
fornia by ordering the replacement
of the officers now engaged in hydro
graphic work in the navy depart
ment with civilians and the transfer
of the hydrographic bureau to the
treasury department. At the pres
ent time the officers who fill places
in the hyrogrnphio office are on the
retired list but are drawing increased
pay because of their active employ
ment. There is no other work
which they can perform and the
charge will require them to live on
their retired pay. The transfer was
made at the personal wish of Secre
tary Moody and Speaker-to-be Can
non, but there is some question if it
will prove legiil as congress once re
fused to make eneh a change at the
behest of Messrs. Moody and Cannon
when both were members of the
house.
The greatest interest attaches to
the meetings now being hold by
Senators Aldrir-h, Allison, Spooner
and Piatt of Connecticut at Hot
Springs, Virginia, these four consti
tuting a sub-committee of the sen
ate committee on Finance, charge
with the duty of preparing, before
the next session, a comprehensive
financial measure. It is generally
assumed that the bill reported will
embody most if not all of the pro
visions of the Aldrioh bill of last
session but, inasmuch as that pro
vided only for an expansion of the
ourrency while some method of con
tracting it when emergencies calling
for greater volume have passed, the
most difficult part of the problem
still remains for solution.

A Caustic Editorial
Under the captiou "Gov. Fetiny-
packer's self-betrayal," the Phila
delphia Press says: "We are pro
foundly grieved, for Governor
Pennypacker's own sake, that he
has made the irretrievable mistake
of signing the Grady-Salus libel bill
and adding to that wrong the still
greater folly of an unspeakably
shallow, silly and wrong headed
message of attempted justification.
In one sense his act is not a surprise.
His feelings have long been known.
He has been weak: enough to expose
his wounds openly to all the world.
His festering sores have boon all too
plain. But we oould not believe
that be would permit his personal
grievance to blind him to all other
oorsidorations so far as to betray
him into a grave publio wrong, into
opon disregard of solemn constitu
tional obligations, not unworthy
methods and artifices and into dis-
engenuous extenuation which in
many parts is so puerile as to be
beneath contempt "
This vigorous language from a
paper which urged him as a candi
date because of his ability, sterling
sense of uprightness and justice and
freedom from bias or prejudice and
his unswerving adherance to prin
ciples of right. It was said he oould
not be swerved from duty by the
gang behind behind him and which
procured his Domination. Ha was a
rara avis. His was a case where
the stream was higher than its
source and could not be polluted.
It now says "this measure, now
made law, had u double source and
a double import. The governor
wanted it in tho hope of escaping
from the inescapable cartoons. The
Gang wanted it in the hope of muz
zling the opposition to jobs. Tho
Gang p'uyed on tha governor's
weakness for its own purpose, and
the governor sanctioned the Gang's
methods of passing the bill for his
own ends." "The inelfaceable stain
which will ever rest on the nam of
tho governor is this : That because
of a petty personal grievance, he
dtulifled his own record, sanctioned
these public crimes, and joined in
the enactment of a law armed at
the liberty of the press."

FENNYPACKEH GEM3
Sayings Which Rival Those of Sml
fungus He Inaugurates a New
School of Literature
Following aro a few extracts from
our simple governors approval of
the Salus-Grady libel bill :
"A mayor of our chief olty has
been called a traitor, a senator of
the United States has been denouno
ed as a yokel with sodden braiu, and
within tbe last quarter of a century
two Presidents of the United States
have been murdered, and in each
instance the cause was easily trace
able to inflammatory and careless
newspaper utterance.
"A cartoon in a daily journal of
May 2 defines tne question with en
tire precision. An ugly little dwarf
representing the governor of the
commonwealth stands on a crude
stool. The stool is subordinate to
and placed alongside of a huge
printing press with wheels as large
as those of an ox team, and all are
so arranged as to give the idea that
when the press starts the stool and
its occupant will be thrown to the
ground. Put into words, the cartoon
asserts to the world that the press
above the law aud greater in
strength than the government.
"No self-respecting people will
permit such an attitude to be long
maintained. In England, a century
ago, the offender would have been
drawn and quartered and his head
stuck upon n pole without the gates.
In America today this is the kind
of arrogance which 'goetb before a
fall.'
' Bishops, too, hurry into print
without investigation, and with only
such information as comes from
muddy sources, to express their dis
regard for those whom the people
have enrusted with authority.
"It is sad to reflect that some his-
toriau of 500 years hence, misled by
what he reads, will probably study
the statesman whom he knew to be
able and strong, generous and kind
ly, keeping his promises and paying
his dobts, and depict him with the-
features of an owl and the propensi
ties of a Nero or Caligula.
"For continual, persistent publio
violation of the law, the publication
so offending may be abated by the
courts as a publio nuisance..
"When during the War of the Re
bellion a New York journal forged a
proclamation with the name of the
President attached to it, to the great
injury of the nation, then in the
midst of a struggle for life, Mr. Lin
coln promptly suppressed the publi
cation. The liberty of the press to
scatter injurious falsehood no more
bound him than the withes bound
Samson. He established a precedent
which no doubt will be followed in
the future should ft like occasion
demand it.
SYMPATHIZES WITH PUSEY
"An upright and worthy gentle
man, trained to the law, who has
worn a sword in the service of his
country, and who bears a name hon
ored in Pennsylvania for more than
two hundred years, because of its
connection with an impressive and
heroio event, is sent by the people to
the Legislature, and in the perform,
ance of his duty and upon the re
sponstbility of his oath, introduces
a proper bill which is not agreeable
to the press
"It is not shown that the bill would
be harmful or nnwise. The policy
is not confronted with argument
pointing out its error or weakness
But some outcast is hired to pervert
his name from Pusey into 'Pussy'
and to draw contorted cats which
are scattered broadcast over the
land, in the hope that the vile and
vulgar will snicker at his wife and
children when they pass.
"If it was not so read, then an
doubtodly there was a failure upon
the part of tbe House to perforin its
duty. Whenever, however, the bill
is signed by the President of the
Senate and the speaker of the House
it is an official certainty thut it has
been passed iu accordance with the
constitutional requirements, and the
rule governing the' action of those
bodies .
"Iu the present case there was more
than the usual opportunity given for
preliminary discussion by the peo
pie Some such legislation was
recommended in the inaugural ad
dress. "The future is ever uncertain, and
the easy way to avoid tha dangers
ahead is to staud still."

Defending the Press '
In 1830 Charles X of France signed
an ordinance by winch the liberty
of the periodical press was suspend
ed. The proprietors and editors of
the chief opposition papers consulted
the most eminent lawyers, who gave
their opinion that the ordinance was
not legal, and ought not to be sub
mitted to. Forty-four conductors "of
newspapers signed a protest iu which
they declared their intention to
resist the ordinanco. The govern
ment said : "This protest hath this
day lost that character of legality
which commands obedience. We
resist it." There was occasionally a
ory in the streets of "Long live the
Charter ! Down with the ministers!"
The next day a more omicous cry
went forth. "Up with Liberty!
Down with the Bourbons!" Senti-
nals were placed around the offices
of the four prinoipal newspapers to
prevent their sale, bat tbey were
thrown out of tbe windows, then the
presses were broken. Then followed
the three terrible days of July the
revolution against the family of
Bourbons and the uncrowning of
Charlos X. Knight's England.
At New York in 1734 a newspaper

SUPPOSING A CASE
It Kay Easily Happen and in That
Event What Would be Done
to Maintain the Road
Suppose Matntnoras should con
clude for various reasons, among
them the aid it would afford the
proposed new water company, to
become incorporated as a borough.
In that event she would work her
streets and would not work the road
through the township toward Milford
say four miles or more, and practi
cally the only money to work the
road would be from a few farmers
along the road. Tho road has been
worked for many years in ibout the
same way eaoh year and observation
does not disclose that it is any wider
or that it has improved. Matamoras
furnishes considerable tax towards
its maintenance, now take that a way
and leave only the taxes from tbe
farms along it to keep it in repair
and its condition can be easily fore
seen. The road in Milford township
would be perhaps a fair illustration.
The Port Jervis road introduces
strangers to the valley, over it comes
all our supplies, it is our artery to
reach the railroad. It should be
exoollent in all respects and should
be mndo permanently good. Travel
on it increases and the additional
servitude imposed brings greater
necessity for better and more lasting
work. This matter should arrest
the attention of the citizens of this
town and also people down the
valley. It may bo a very near prob
lem how to maintain this road in
suitable condition. If there is any
thing in the new road law which
may furnish a solution the proper
parties should promptly set the
machinery in motion to obtain the
benefit. If Matamoras incorporates
the question o' this road will be one
for home consideration,
Forest Fires
Last Sunday evening about 5.30 a
Are started along the road near the
house of Theodore Busier In Dingman
which swept ovjr all tho woods lying
between the two roads and the Pin-
chot and Gregory places. A large
force of men by backfiring succeeded
iu keeping the fire from Boslers
buildings. No doubt the fire origi
nated in sheer carelessness or perhaps
worse. During the past week the
whole territory lying on the head
waters of the Vandermark, Deep
Brook and down nearly to the town
burned. Fire also swept over a large
scope In Dingman township burning
all the woods between the road from
Quinns to Sawkill and the turnpike,
including lands of W. T. Struble on
which there were a number of ties
cut, the Quinn lands, Jas. Buist's
woods, Sheriff Vandermark's place
destroying his fences as also fences of
Chas. Stichler, crossing the turnpike
and burning over a part of the wood
land of John C. Beck. Just at this
season the fire is particularly deadly
to young timber. Thu bark is loose
and a fire is sure death. Thousands
of acres in this country will be entire
ly denuded of growth. There were
many tracts where the young timber
was starting nicely which will now
be entirely barren.

Negotiations thus far have been ham
