This suit was brought to test tho va lidity of thia Script. The rural free delivery, concerning the success of which the Republieans are just now doing so much bragging, is said to be a Populist idea, and was first advooated by Hon. Tom Watson, of Georgia. Be that as it may, it is a great Boheme, and we want all of it we can got in South Carolina. There is a noticeable difference be tween the lynching in Illinois a few days ago and thoso that have taken placo at the South. The lynohers in the Sooth have wrecked vengeance on the criminal for the crime and have left innocent negroes unmolested. In Illinois tho lynchers, moved by race hatred, after lynching the criminal, undertook the extermination of all the negroes in tho community. Th Philadelphia Record says several Northern men who participated in the recent ?ducations, conference in Rich mond gave evidence of being much impressed by the Southern view of the negro problem. Men in tho North twho have been loudest in their denun-j oiatiop of tbe Southern white people | aro generally those who know little or j nothing of tho actual oondition in the Spain.

Under tho statutes recently enacted by thc Legis lature of that Stato tho Attorney Gen eral of Missouri institutod proceedings against tho trust. Thc Supreme Court of thc Stato affirmed the decision in the court below. Thc trust was fined $25,000 for unlawful combination in restraint of trade. If it recognizes the judgment of tho court and pays its fine within thirty days it may con tinue to do business in tho State. If the monopoly continues to violato the anti-trust law of Missouri it will not be allowed to carry on busines in that State._ ._ There seemsto be a growing discord in the prosperity ohorus. The moat of tho trudo and commercial journals of thc country who make their living off tho protected industries havo been howling in one continuous and hat monious chorus about tho abundant and republican-sent prosperity. Some of them aro beginning to "bacK-pednl" and to assert that we have already ceased to bo prosperous. The most pessimistic of these is perhaps tho "Wool and Cotton Reporter," which explains tho poor sales of woolen ro-.ids this - year and tho prosperity of thc shoddy industry by saying that th purchasing power of thc people itt cur tailed and that they cannot afford ti wear any but cheap clothes, which according to the republican idea, make a cheap man. Is it possible that thi trusts are going to begin making mouths nt one another, that tho po is going to call thc kettle black? I so, honest men may get their dues. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. ?Special Correspondence of Intclliycncer Washington, 1). C., May ll, 1003. While tho President of tho I'uitet ?States is loudly inveighing against cor ruption in public and private life ii Iiis speeches at the dedication of tilt World's Fair buildings at ?St. Louis tho corruption in the Post Oflico De pnrtment under bis own administrator which is being daily unearthed by th? investigation now proceeding smells tt high heaven. It is the expressed opin ion of many officials of the government hi re that it would be tho policy ol consistency for the President to returi here at once and see to it that tho in vestigation is made thorough and thai no guilty mau escapes the punislimen' which is his.inst duo. The ti u oi the matter ir* that this investigation it the PostOllice Department is digging up moro snakes than the administra tion cnn^onvenicntly kill, and the nd ministration would like nothing botte] than to kill the investigation. Wher Postmaster General Payne returned hero from his trip among tho Wesl Indies islands with Secretary Moody and others, he was amazed and terrified ai what he found. When lie left hort: aud told First Assistant Postmustei General Wynuo to go ahead with tnt investigation ho supposed nothing would be unearthed beyond a few irregularities which could be lix od by the suspension or discharge of a few scapegoats. What he found was that a number oi the divisions of his department were rotton to the core and that several ol the heads of those divisions hod already resigned under lire, and that several more would have to resign or be kick ed out. Tho investigation was either unearthing more serious charges against these men every day or else he wae receiving from other sources serious charges. One of the men who already had resigned had his wife go to his old office in the P. O. Dept. and rifle a sato of papers that would, presumably, incriminate him and perhaps others in his division of the Department. Now comes a man named Seymour Tulloch, who had been cashier of the Washing ton City post office for over twenty years, aha waB fired by Postmaster Merritt nt the dictation of Pevry Heath, who thenlwas the First Assis tant Postmaster General, because Tul loch refused to pay peoplo who were carried on the rolls of the city post office in a fraudulent?inanner. Tulloch charges that some men were on tho pay rolls three times under different names nnd were drawing three salaries; that a certain newspaper man was on the rolls ns the physician to the city post office, and he knew no more about tho practice of medicine than a hog knows about navigating a ship, yet he was receiving a salary of 81,700 a year, lie says those frauds and irregularities have ?eon going on ever sinee Perry Heath? who now is the .Secretary of tho Republican National Committee, was installed AS First Assistant Post master Generali that he has the papers in his possession to provo all hiB charges and only asks the opportunity 'to do so. From tbe way things look "now he probably will not get the chance to prove his charges. Mr. Payaous is mak ing a bluff at investigating these charg es made by Tulloch, but from his motions be nardi/ will give Mr. Tul loch an opportunity to go on the wit ness stand. Ho sees what ten whole thing is leading to and is doing his beBt to squelch any farther investiga tion. He is a shrewd politician, was placed in the cabinet as Roosevelt's political gaide and counsellor, and it evidently is his belief that a continu ance of the investigation will result in serious consequences to the adminis tration, Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts who is the spokesman ?or Roosevelt on the floor of the Senate, evidently thinks otherwise, for he said here the other dny after reading in tho Washington "Evening Star" a defence of A. W. Machen, Superinten dent of Free Delivery, by Postmaster General Payne, that ne would have to {50 nnd that lu> suspension or discharge md been ordered by tho President be fore he left on his western trip; that if the Postmaster General did not get rid of Machen there would be something doing in the resignation lino in Mr. Payne's office, ana the Postmaster General would bo forced out of the Cabinet. Mr? Payne is now between tho devil and the deep blue sea. If he ;icks out Bob Wynne, who started the investigation, Wynne will pull down the temple. Machen knows too much, and if he is kioked out he will play the the yamo game, and there yon are. In the meantime the Democrats aro holding their noses and watching the fun. . < There are nearly BO.00O immigrants a week landing in New York. These men are coming over to enjoy the great prosperity in this country. Tho way they will lind it is by taking the places of tho etrikers now on a strike for higher wages. In this way they will net na strike-breakers for the trusta and the trusts will thereby experience no diminution in their own prosperity. How does organized labor like that? It in almost heartrending (?) to view the debris pf busted trusts scattered all over tho country, wrought by tho legislation passed by tho lute Republi can Congress (?) The only trust in thin count ty now in a bad way is tho anthracite coul trust. It is in a hole with the sides soaped and no ladder in sight, and it was not deposited in thia cavity by tho republi can administration, but by a good Democrat, viz.: William Randolph Hearst. Mr. Hearst's attorneys have proved every contention before the Interstate Commerce Commission. They have backed tho trust up in a corner and tho trust refuses to produce its contracts. Tho courte will be asked to compel them to produce them. Those con tracts will provo them innocent or fiuilty of an infraction of tbeluw rogu ating interstate commerce. If they were innocent what sane mau believes they would hesitate io produce them and confound the man who is after them. Remember, this is not being done by a Republican administration Bworn to execute the law?, but by a Democratic member of Congress who ia doing it in the interest of law and order und the pockets of the people. lt is believed here that thc ('resident has arrived at an acute perice ot his candidacy for tho Republican nomina tion. He has got to the baby-kissing stage of the game. Next on tho pro gramme will be the trust-hugging stunt. Everybody interested in the no minis tration is beginning to shy rocks nt General Miles for his report of t! J con ditions existing in the Philippine Is lands. He recommends in that report that the army in the Philippines bo fed on beef on tho hoof killed fresh, be cause he ascertained that tho army is still living qa embalmed boot. The War Department pays no attention to his recommendation for tho reason that tho beef trust could make no profit out of the government if Gen. Miles' sug gestion wore complied with. How long will tho neoplo.stand it? If thc President will return and make as close a study of the workings of the civil service hero ns ho made of tho animals in Yellowstone Park, ho will find some game that has crept in under the civil service tent more worthy of his gun. In trust-baiting, publicity seems to be one of President Roosevelt's strong cards. Why does he not try some ot the publicity medicine on the scandals of the War and Post Ofiico Depart ments of his own administration. The Amphitheatre donated to the University of California by William Randolph Hearst, mentioned in my last letter, and in which President Roosevelt will ?peak when he goes to Berkley, seems to be a superb gift. As everybody knows, Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, the mother of Representative Hearst, bas given one million dollars to the University of California, and is devoting her time to the supervising of plans and details in the development of this great institution. Alta. Hearst, I by the way, is the only woman Regent j in the United States. Mr. Hearst's Amphitheatre is modeled after those of the aueient Greeks. It will coat one hundred thonsand dollars when com pleted. It will contain nine sections of seats, each section to have more than twenty tiers. They will be ou a steep incline and will seat eight thousand persons. A.ound the top a broad walk will furnish standing room for two thousand more persons. Be low the tier-seatB will be a platform level with the stage provided with seats. TheAmphitheatre will accommo date in all fourteen thousand persons. "Considerations of moment not con lined to Porto Rico," have caused the administration to let up on the prose ,cut??a# of officers down there who are accused of smuggling. The American District Attorney already had a lot of the natives of Porto Rico in the peni* tentiary for ifte aame offense, and waa proceedingagaiBKb the Americanoffleera when he was stoppai! by the above telegram from the Attorney General. Does that mean*that the same condi tion exists in tira Philippines and ?he airing of the Porto Rican matter would ?recipitate the prosecution Of mon in he Philippines? That all thia rot-ipa? new .fco wog to the ?uTfac? ftt <??e tim? would QWftmp the administration ned knock ont the nomination of Rooae* vel? That certainly is "considerations of moment."
