and this lumber is the greenbacks
When you want a long drink You
pour into this tGmbler as much
out OF the other one as you want !;
il you want a short drink you ponr
some out of this tumbler into the
other one. It's big thing"
Mr.. Kelley was in dispair. The
barkeeper continued:
"You see I want TO return to
whisky basis, but / wish to do so
without injury TO business inter
ests Of the country. Now IL you
viii wait till the water evaporates
and leaves the whisky
Here Mr.. Kelley smote the
counter with his cane. "Look
here" he shouted, ain spite OF
your expanding the volumn Of
that drink, and humbugging me
with your idiotic inconvertible
cocktails. and talking about return
ing to whisky basis without derang-
ing my interests, don't you see you
bowling ass, that that's the same
weak diluted, mawkish, tasteless,
abominable slush all the time. l
want an immediate return to
whisky resumption and no steps
backward"
"Keerect, Judge" replied the
barkeeper, as he threw the inhat-
ed cocktail into the sink, "we1l re-
pudiate this, as they always do"
And he mixed another cocktail on
whiskey basis. "But he said,
"s'pose you hadn't another fifteen
cents, or that all the whisky in
the house had been in that cock
tail, where'd you have been, eh r
Mr.. Kelley smiled, and invited
the barkeeper to join him. The
latter complied and took a little
gin, syrup and bitters. Mr.. Kelly
drank off his cocktail, paid for the
drinks, and taking a Glove was
about to depart, when an after
thought seemed to occur to him.
He turned back aud said:
"See here, johnny, you are a
smart young fellow, and I've en-
joyed your conversation very much.
But, then, you see the-ah ! the
financial problem is a thing that
people can't exactly understand in
all its ramifications without a
special education, a training, you
know. OF course, it effects all
people, but all people can't under
stand it; it isn't to their interest
that they should. If everybody
knew all about it there'd lie DO
Kelleys and Logans and Inter-
Oceans and Enquirers. It's like
cocktails, you know. Every man
drinks them, but every man can't
mix them. If they could there'd
be no bar-keepers. Understand !
And, johnny, perhaps you'd better
not say anything about this little
conversation of ours to anybodv.
You see, perhaps it would hurt IL g
business OF the house, and the pro-
prietors don't like to have politics
discussed. Good bye"
"So-long," remarked the bar
keeper, and as the Judges for,o
vanished up the stairway he closed
,ne eye respectfully, and took three
ig-steps with an expression of the
deepest reverence.

INDIAN COMMISSION COMPLICATIONS
INTERVIEW BETWEEN COMMISSIONER FISK AND ONE
OF THE PROTESTING TOBACCO MANUFACTURERS
-ExPECTED INVESTIGATION by COMMISSIONER
HAYT
Alexander Forman, member of the firm of
Dohan, Carroll Co., who with other large tobacco
mannuacturers recently protested against the inspec
ton Of their tobacco for the Indian Commission by
alleged incompetent plug Inspector called yesterday
upon Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, President of the Indian
Board. Mr.. Forman said that the who had
protested were much interested In the decision
which the Board would make, as the simple
matter Of the award Of this years contracts
was insignificant in comparison with tho weight which
would be attached to the precedent established
Acting in entire good faith merchants accepted the
vitaons of the Commission to present samples before
them and become bidders expecting q thorough and
fair investigation Of the qualities and merits Of the
pies presented by inspector wledged to be
peten and dsinteresed No person could considered
competent Judge OF thing unless he thoroughly un
derstood the subject, and thorough knowledge Of
manufactured tobacco could only be acquired after years
OF experience. The Commission by securing the ser
vices of inspectors unacqnainted with the especial ar
tce to be inspected, would break thorough and hon
est way OF awarding contracts and which they said
In reply Cen Fisk said that the Commission would
take some definite action as Mr. Hayt, Chairman
OF the purchasing Committee, returned from the West
The Commission had studiousy and earnestly endeav-
ored 10 have thorough inspection and an award
OF cOuIrdcts, WHICH WOuu equally MVauthScous 10
the Government and the Indians and also satisfactory to
the merchants who had become bidders The action OF
the Commission would in all probability result in an ef
fort statements made by the merchants
concerning Mr. Hoodlesss ncompetency, and to vindi-
cate the Commission.
This the opinion of Gen. Fisk be done by obtain
ing the Judgment of three acknowledged experts in
manufactured tobacco the samples which were pre-
sented to Mr.. Hoodless for inspection II is expected
that this will be done at early day. When Commits
Hayt returns this city, il is understood that all
Of the statements made by the merchants and reported in
THE TRIBUNE viii DO thoroughly investigated by him.
In conversation yesterday Mr.. Hoodless said that
about 40 SO tobacco samples had
presented to the Commission, but that about
eight only had been presented 10 him for in
spectiOn His instructions TO select the best bright
and the best dark samples out of these He had been
told that the Commission could not take tobacco
specified price. and the other samples above the
fixed limits. He had also been told that some OF the
Indians had TO have bright tobacco. while the Others
quired dark These were all the instructions he
had received from the mission, ard he had honestly
endeavOred to carry them He Thought that in view
OF he charges made by the who had protested.
the Commission had treated him badly.
