The Austin Statesman raps the En-
dn,ihef pretty severely for changing its
tune so suddenly and unaccountably
for Coke. The ,Stdtesmaa says;
"Even the unhappy Examiner, sup,
posed by some people to be the Gov
ernor's home organ, was wholly at sea,
and when we said Coke was the proper
man for the Federal Senate, the Ex
aniner had never thought OF 1t, and
absolutely said that Coke was TO serve
out Ills gubernatorlal term and then
retire TO his "Sabine farm.n But
when the press and people everywhere
made it apparent that Coke would be
en- n ccssitdte rel, Hamilton'ssuccessor,
the Examiner-the organ softly
swooning fell gently into the arms of
victory. II was the will of the people
that reversed the course of the submits
sive Examiner. Its excellence consists
In it's timidity and in the acuteness
with which it watches the veerings-
about Of the weather cock of popular
opinion, and its head is where Its heels
were two months ago"
We fear that there is more truth
than poetry In the concluding lines Of
the ,HdtesmdTs editorial. 'It 1.-THE
EedmiaerI caught at last the drift OF
resistless popular favor, and is braying
itself to DEATH" ~ 'f

AN ingenious hummer, says the New
York SIN, has invented a new way Of
getting his liquor. H. puts two pint
bottles in his coat pocket, one full of
water, the other empty. Then he goes
into Il saloon and asks for pint Of
gin, handing out the empty bottle.
When he gets the gin he puts the bot
tie in his pocket, and tells the her
keeper to "lIang it up" Barkeeper
naturally objects, and demands the
cash or the gin. Bummer reluctantly
hands him the bottle of water, and
goes out muttering about ''some folks
being so COMPOUNDED pertickuler.n

the effect that the name OF George P. Fish

credit had been given for such a statement
denied It's utterance, and it had to be put

from General Terry's Camp, on the Yellow

D. T., Sept. II, says: General Terry, this
morning, issued an order dissolving his op-
Grating column. General Gibbons, with the
Montana troops, leaves in the morning for
Fort Ellis. Major Reno, with the 7th cav
airy, and Major Moore's battalion, of the

ing before General Crook, crossing the river.
Colonel Otis, with the 22d infantry, will re-
main at This point in charge of subsidiary
depot. General Terry and staff proceed to
Buford by steamboat. The General will
give his whole attention to the forwarding
Of supplies to the new post on Tongue river.
The campaign may be regarded as virtually
at an end, SO far as General Terry's column
is concerned. Everybody in camp is de-
lighted, as it has been evident for a tong
time that we were not likely to accomplish
much good by remaining in the field.
