The amount of money secured by the corrupt officlals and their confederates is small as compared to the total loss to the Government. To lllustrate: There is no evidence that Louls received any compensation from Auit & Wiborg, yet during the first year of his administration the expendi- tures for canceling ink Increased over $10,000. It does mot appear that Kempner recelved money from the manifold company, yet the cost of manifold supplies increased more than $40,000 a year. Barrett received but $6000 from Arnold, yet that company defrauded the people out of over $3.000,000. Machen probably did mot receive more tha 5,000 from the Groff fastener. Yet the Gov has pald approximately $130,000 for evice, which represents a net loss, since partment continued, by the terms of the for letter boxes, to pay for the orig- Th ociates received less thas tomatic cashier.

As the gross abuses have been brought light they have been promptly corrected by the proper departmental officers. Contracts where fraud has been discovered have been annulled. As a result of the investigation four officers and employes of the department have resigned and thirteen have been removed. Forty-four indictments have been found, involving thirty- one percons_ ten of whom have been connected with the postal service.

PRESIDENT DENOUNCES THE MEN IMPLICATED Continued From Page 1, Columns 6 and 7. implicated In the wrong-doing, together with an account of steps that have been taken by the Government in each case, and a statement of the date of original appointment of each man in the service: (The case of ex-First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, who left the service July 31, 1900, is set forth in the report of Mr. Bristow).

Charles B. Terry, clerk, supply division; appointed September 20, 1900; removed October 21, 1903. » OUTSIDERS WHO ARE NOW UNDER INDICTMENT. As shown in Mr. Bristow’s report, and as partially indicated by the ac- tions in the several cases, these cases show widely varying degrees of culp- ability. Among outsiders indictments have also been found against: H. J. Barrett, formerly in the Postoffice Department from May 11, 1889, to September 20, 1893, and from June 1, 1897, to December 31, 1900. George E. Green, Diller B. and Samuel Groff; Willlam C. Long, for- merly in the Postoffice Department from April 17, 1890, to August 15, 1893; Isaac S. McGiehan, George H. Huntington; George E. Lorenz, formerly postmaster at Toledo, Ohlo, from August 3, 1886, to July 9, 1890; Martha J. Lorenz, John T. Cupper, H. C. Hallenback, W. D. Doremus, Eugene D. Scheble; Willlam G. Crawford, deputy auditor Postoffice Department, from June 12, 1893, to September 15, 1897; Maurice Runkle, Norman R. Metcalf, Leopold J. Stern, Edmund H. Driggs, George F. Miller, Joseph M. Johns. Several of the above have been indicted two, three or five times each. The three chief offenders in the Government service were Tyner, Machen and Beavers. The friends of Tyner have advanced the theory that in his case the chief offender was really his nephew by marriage, Barrett, who was his assistant in the office for a part of the time, and that Tyner's.offenses are due to his failing bodily and mental powers. The facts set forth in Mr. Bris- tow’s report do not tend to substantiate the validity of these excuses for Ty- ner, while they show literally astounding misconduct in Barrett. For Machen and Beavers no excuse of any kind has been alleged. In the case of Metcalf, the superintendent of the money order system, the most vigorous protests were at first made on his behalf by a large number of reputable citizens, and also by others who were at the time deemed reputable, but who, it has since been discovered, were profiting by Metcalf'’s misconduct. One of them has been indicted in connection with him. When these investigations.agere begun some nine months ago many of the chief offenders, who have been Indicted or dismissed or beth, as above enumerated, were considered to Have excellent reputations. A number of the most respectable people in the land offered voluntary testimony on behalf of Mr. Tyner. So highly were Messrs. Beavers and Machen thought of by those who had been brought into close connection with them that the Congress actually provided at its last session for raising the salaries of both, the sal- ary in each case being increased $500, to take effect at the beginning of the fiscal vear on July 1 last. By that date they were both out of office and the Department of Justice was taking steps to have them indicted. During Machen’s term of service he was twice investigated by the Congress, once by a committee of the Senate and once by a committee of the House, but was cleared on each occasion. Yet at that very period, as has been shown in the present investigation, he was engaged in the corrupt business for which he has now been removed and indicted. This is no reflection upon the commit- tees who conducted the Investigation, for so skillfully had Machen concealed his wrong-doing that it was only revealed after months of laborious and ex- haustive work by trained indpectors. IN LEAGUE WITH NOTORIOUS SWINDLERS. The detalls of the corruptions are set forth in full in Mr. Bristow’s report and need not be recapitulated by me. As regards Messrs. Beavers and Machen, the corruption took the form of bribery and blackmail in connection with the purchase of Government supplies. In the office of the Assistant Attorney General for the Postoffice Depart- ment under Tyner and Barrett far greater wrong was inflicted upon the public than could be measured by a pecuniary standard, as in these offices the corruption of the Government officlals took the form of favoring get-rich- quick concerns and similar swindling systems; fn other words, the criminals, whom it was the sworn duty of these Government officials to prosecute, paid them for permission to fleece the public unmolested. I heartily approve of the recommendation of Messrs. Conrad and Bona- parte that the statute of limitations be extended in the case of Government servants to a period of at least five years, for the persons who in such posi- tions of trust engage in corrupt practices can ordinarily conceal their guilt for a longer time than is covered by the present short statute of limitations. This recommendation has been laid beforeé the Congress in the report of the Attorney General, and it is earnestly hoped that it will be acted upon favor- ably. Moreover, our experience shows that outsiders claiming political influ- ence sometimes sell their influence to candidates for office—or, in other words, blackmall these candidates. There should be legislation which will permit of summéry dealing with such offenders. However, the prime need is not new legislation, but the punishment of those who offend against existing laws. The Postoffice Department {s making certain changes in the methods of administration, notably in the method of inspection, by which the service will be improved and the chance of corrup- tion existing without discovery be minimized; but the only way to meet the real evil is to punish the offenders by removal in any event, and, where pos- sible, by prosecution under the criminal statutes. In any great business, public or private, wrong-doing.is certain at times to occur. The way to guard against it is rigorously to serutinize the character of those appointed, care- fully to supervise their actions after appointment and, finally, to punish with relentless severity those who go wrong, All this is being done. The immediate reformation of the service by the turning out of the offenders is not in itself enough to meet the demands of justice. The cases against both those within and those without the Postoffice Department who by their acts have brought themselves within the grasp of the law will be pushed with the utmost vigor. Every effort must be made to see that both the delinquent official and the outsider who shares his guilt are punished to the limit of the law. . CONVINCED OF THE ACCUSED MEN’'S GUILT. In pursuance of this policy the individuals above enumerated have been indicted. In no case has the indictment been sought save where thm of the Government were convinced of the man’s guilt, and In every case the Gov- ernment will exhaust every expedient in its power in the effort to see that justice is meted out to the offenders. Those in the public service whose duty it is must ever be vigilant in the detection of wrong-doing, fearless In its ex- posure, relentless in its prosecution; but in the last resort, when everything which the public official, whether legislator, judge or executive officer, can do has been done, it remains for the jury, drawn from the people and repre- senting the people, to do even-handed justice, shielding the innocent but de- clh;llng to be misled by any plea into refraining from punishment of the gullty. No crime calls for sterner reprobation than the crime of the corruptionist in public life, and of the man who seeks to corrupt him. The bribe-giver and the bribe-taker are equally guilty. Both alike sin against the primary law of the state’s safety. All questions of difference in party policy sink into insig- nificance when the people of this country are brought face to face with a question like this, which lies at the root of honest and decent government. On this question, and on all others like it, we can afford to have no division among good citizens. In the last resort good laws and good administration alike must rest upon the broad basis of sound public opinion. A dull public consclence, an easy-going acquiescence in corruption, infallibly mean the ruin of free Institutions. Self-government becomes a farce if the representatives of the people corrupt others or are themselves corrupted. Freedom is not the gift which will tarry long in the hands of the dishon- est or of those so foolish or so incompetent as to tolerate dishonesty In their public servants. Under our system all power comes from the people and all punishment rests ultimately with the people. The toleration of the wrong, not the exposure of the wrong, is the real offense.

PERSECUTION, SAYS HEATH. | Former Official Declares Malice Has | Actuated Bristow. SALT LAKE, Utah, Nov. 20.—When former First Assistant Postmaster General Perry S. Heath, now proprietor of the Salt Lake Tribune, had read the report of Mr. Bristow and the memorandum of the President to-night, | he said: I shall not hesitate to publish in the Salt Lake Tribune to-morrow morning every word of this report, memorandum of the President, although there is not a syllable in them, excdft official com- ment, so far as pertal to myself, that is news or new to the m}b“e. I hope my ene- mies, as well as my fr will_do me the justice to read it all carefullys, The news- bapers have been kept informed and have been publishing it all during the past vear. That which has hitherto been generally regarded as newspaper criticism, It is now revealed, was official criticism in disgulse. It is no surprise to me to see the denuncla- tion of me in this report. The author of it, from the time he entered the Postoffice De- partment up to the present moment, has, in his official capacity, pursued me personally, in season and out, as every one who has been in public life in Washington during the past six years knows. Innuendo ls artfully con- trived and malice lll-concealed throughout the entire document as_everybody famillar with the facts may see. Its Very opening pages at- tack my friend, W. Louis, an honest gen- tleman, as the report Itself is compelled to ad- mit him to be, and it closes with impertinent and intrusive anim: ohs upon my admin- istration. The author seems to have studiously avolded mentioning the important fact that many, If not a large majori of these offenses oc- curred after I had left the service. Nor is the slightest reference made to another Im- portant fact that I had heaped upon me ten times as much administrative and executive work, by reason of the Spanish-American war, as I should have undertaken; or the fact that during the time most of the onus of performing the military postal duties fell upon me, to- gether with the distribution of much of the patronage of the service in the way of appoin- ments, and that we had to establish precedents, as we bad no military postal laws; and, lastly, the fact that if any one conjured with my name for corrupt purposes I could not know it except somebody told me. No inti- mation of the kind ever reachgd me till lately through the press. Men like Louis, whose supplies were pur- chased through a committee of three appoint- ed by the Postmaster General, by public ad- vertisement, under the direction of the Post- master General, he being merely the distribu- tion clerk, are' censured and made to suffer for responsibilities they never had.
