THE DYER LETTER. The Attorney Cen
eral is unfortunate in his efforts to ex-
plain his letter to the Western district
attorneys. His answer to the resolution
of the House calling for an explanation
was characterized by Mr.. Lord, the
original mover Of the resolution, as an
admission substantially OF all that was
claimed about the undertaking to inter
fere with tho rule by which the testi-
mony OF accomplices is taken and this
is the impression 1t will create every

referred to the Judiciary Committee.

Cass farm came down town yesterday
and reported that he had seen q robin
flying among the trees. and added that
spring must be near, he told the solemn
truth. Ho wouldn't have lied about 1t
for ten thousand dollars, and yet what
was his reward 4? As he entered acigar
store he said:
"Well, I'm ahead Of you folks. saw
q robin as came down"
The four men seated around the stove
smiled iiendish smiles, and stuck up
their noses and turned their heads away.
Don't you believe it?' asked the
good man.
