| AS an evidence OF great political sagaciy and
craftsmanship" we quote The following from the
Milwaukee Tri.Weekly Wisconsin. Some pc
liticians are like an old blunderbuss-- they hurt
their friends more than their enemies:
with surprise, we perceive that certain Wing
papers are commenting with some warmth upon
Inc responsibility assumed by S. Lise Smith, Of
Chicago, in Withholding the notorious letter oil
John NJ Bolts from The Convention, but which has
since been published in the regular course OF the
| proceedings. Now, we consider this not only
unjus! to Mr.. Smith, but in the estimation OF all
l!ue friends OF haIbors and rivers, Mr. Smith aci-
ed with the highest patriotism and good sense IN
refusing 10 Mrow frebraad INTO The Contention.
ave know MIR. Smith 10 be gentleman and
scholar, and an orator OF thrilling elcquence,
and he has the reputation OF being warm Wing
| partisan, but in this matter, he has shown mat
lie can merge The paIli2an in The higher and no.
bier oblec, OF being useful 10 The people Of The
Northwest
In relation 10 the distressing case Of the robbie
ry OF the Washington City Post othce by young
Jones, The Philadelphia Ledger says
"IIe has no excuse whatever for his henous
crime lie was not tempted ~ commit crime by
apy Of The usual inducements. He had been lett
SO 900 by a relative, which he had properly and
iudciously invested in siocE, he had lespec,a.
bic salary, and was otherwise we'll 10 do in The
world. Neither had he any Of those vices which
generally lead 10 ruin; j, was mere love Of money
which induced him To rob these who were perhaps
so much more in want Of il Than himself, and The
amount stolen lie Immediately, with The same
calm and tranquil mind invested in stocks.
To show lhc ruin" 10 the. Ytlr.''oi 1916, we
quole The following sketch OF Massachusetts
manufacturing town. which We find in the Balli-
more American
Fall River, situated on The Taunton river,
about eighteen miles from Newport, r. l., has
been recently brought into more intimate relations
with New York BY the establishment OF daily
line oe steamers The additional importance
which this lcnrishing town OF 10000 inhabitants
ACQUIRED in this way has led 10 az investigation
OF The nature and extent oil its business opera
lions by a correspondent OF the N. York Courier.
Abundance OF running water furnishes The pro-
polling power Of large number oil manufacture
ing establishments al Fall River the productions
of which are mostly forwarded 10 The New York
Amarket; and il was the necessities OF The manu-
facuTers for rapid and direct means OF trans
porlalion that originated the daily line oil sIeam-
ers between The two places. We conlense from
