The Criticisms on Judge Cox.

Certain iournals-prominent among
them the Tribune to de
nounce Judge Cox for his lOOseness in
his dealings with Guiteau. Especially
does the Tribune rail at him for threat
ening to gag the prisoner and then al
lowing him to fling insult after insult
at court and counsel without enforcing
the promised discipline. In this We
think Judge Cox is at fault. If he
promises discipline, let him intiict it
promptly when the conditions are dis
regarded by the prisOner-as they have
been again and again. BY failing i'll
this lac destroys the dignity of his high
office and shows himself man of
careless words, or as wanting i'll moral
stamina. The Tribune remarks: "The

who used violence and broke into sew
eral saloons. went considerably too far,
and deserve censure. There is such a
thing as temperate temperance.
When Mr.. James was asked by a
New York reporter how he found Off
cial life, he said, disappointing" Then
he explained: When he was a printer
boy, his special ambition was to follow
in the footsteps of Ben Franklin. Well,
he has now been postmaster general of
the United States as Franklin was.
He entered the Office with bright hopes.
His purpose was to visit all the large
post offices of the country and put
them all as nearly as possible on the
same footing in word to ''unify''
the service. But outside of New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and the southern
sea-bOard. he has accomplished almost
nothing. The murder of Garfield
threw everything Into chaos" As
to the unearthing of the starrOute
frauds, he modestly says he couldn't
have done what little he has done but
for the help of Second Assistant Elmer,
Inspector Woodward and Col. George
Bliss. The colonel has been indefati-
gable ''he will watch that hole until
he is sure there is nothing more to
come out of it," But the retiring post
master general did not tell the Tribune
interviewer that the thieves would be
convicted. No one could predict what
the outcome would he, he said.

a FISH STORY.-A man has an arti-
fetal trout pond with at least 5000 fish
each weighing from half a pound to
two, more Or less. He also has little
girl, five years old, who has succeeded
in training the fishes so that she can go
to the edge of the pond, and with
handful Of crumbs feed them from her
chubby hand. They have learned to
jump out of the water and snatch worms
from her fingers, and they are extreme
~ fond Of their little mistress. One
day she lost her balance, and pitched
headlong into the water where it was
deep. She says that when she went
s'away down" she cried Justify for help.
Her cries quickly attracted her parents,
and they were Mortified at seeing their
little girl floating upon the surface of
the pond. The father rushed to the
waters edge and reached out for his
pet, and as he raised her from the water
a perfectly solid mass of trout was
found beneath her. These faithful sub
jects of the little queen, as she fell,
quickly gathered beneath her, and
thus showed their love for their mistress
by holding UP her body until aid ar
rived, thus preventing her from meet

DEATH OF MRS. ROssER.-On Fri
day night Mrs. Katrina Rosser, the es-
Unable wife of Col. John Rosser, died
after long and painful illness. The
deceased lady was taken ill at Sacra-
mento nearly two months ago, and her
condition grew serious SO rapidly that
it was unsafe to remove her to her
home in this city. For the past month
all hopes Of her recovery have been
abandoned. She was q very kind and
charitable lady, and highly esteemed
by those who knew her. Colonel RoS-
ser and her daughter, Mrs. John r.
Meder, have the sincerest sympathy OF
many friends in their affection. The
remains will be buried from the Pres
byterian Church at o'clock this after
noon.

Miss HELEN BLYTHE.-The general
expression Of the theater goers of this
city, and Of those who met Miss Helen
Blythe, of the J. A. Stevens Dramatic
Company, personally, is that she is one
of the most accomplished actresses and
charming ladies that has ever visited
Carson. Her magnificent rendition of
the character of "Mamie Roseleaf" in
"Passion's Slave'' on Friday evening,
created a desire On the part of many in
this city to have the company remain
another night, but Mr.. Stevens stated
that it was impossible, as his dates were
all filled.

UNDESIRABLE TREES.-The big cot
ton woods about the capitol square are
to be removed, because it has been de-
termined to plant shrubbery along the
borders Of the grounds and the cot
tonwood trees impoverish the ground
faster than any tree known. This is
readily proven by the fact that the
elms which were planted near the cot
tonwoods are stunted in their growth,
while those beyond the blighted influ-
ence are large and sturdy. A cotton
wood will sap the soil fifty yards from
its trunk by sending out long feelers
which are SO prolific that after few
years OF interlacing the ground is liter
al cholked with them.
