GarIand's Investigation.
Arkansaw Traveller.

While Senator Garland was practIc-
in law in Little Rock, L. b. Nash,
now of Colorado, was associated with
him as partner. One day Garland,
upon going to the office, found Nash
in condition of extreme drunken
ness. 1t was not an argumentative,
persuasive drunk. It was a hip hip
hurrah-git-up-and- git" drunk. Gar
land was surprised, as Nash was not q
whisky -drinker, and using a Scrip
tural phrase, he marvelled greatly.
Leaving Nash in the Office, where
that intoxicated gentleman had as
sumed charge of everything Garland
went out on the street, and meeting
friend, said:
my partner, Nash, is drunk, SO
drunk, in fact, that / don't believe
he could strike terra frna with his
hat
Il am not surprised the friend
replied, for he drank twenty shoo-
fiies.n
Garland knew nothing Of shoo-fy
-thoughisprokably that it was some
kind of fancy drink, but careful not
to expose his ignorance and with
that determined investigation, which
has ever characterized him, he went
to neighboring saloon and said, with
great confidence.
'sGiye me a shoo-hv.
When the bar tender drew a
schooner of beer and placed it on the
bar, Mr.. Garland regarded it mo-
ment, and said:
'sGreat Lord, and this IS a shoo-dy.
Nash drank twenty OF them. Nash
is q dead man. Nash will never be
sober. Twenty shoo-fiiesl Nash IS
gone. I don't blame him for being
drunk Twenty shoo-hies! Enough
to kill an elephant.

THE Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
is edited by Murat Halstead. He
thinks, or rather he writes, that Blaine
is the beau ideal Of political virtue
now, but in 1876, he sad in the Ga
Zette:
THE people Of the United States may be some
whnt demoraIizrd, but they are not 50 far gone
that it can bc presumed that they will elect Blaine
president, q man who has been on the make " in
the securities Of subsidized railroads."
or the letters usually known as the
Mulligan letters, this now fulsome
lauder of Blaine, said these bitter
words:
The Blaine letters, we believe prove all that
he has been charged with The troublesome fact
Is that there is n low tone of public morality in
the estimation Of the uses Of public positions for
private gain.
Not content with these hard hits, he
continued:
{" Mr. Blainc's business is lilScncd by the New
York Times to that o. policy dealer Policy ~
is u supplementary lottery business, II secondary
sort OF swiEdling Thi. is pretty hard en Mr.,
Blaine, but Mr.. Blancs stock jObbing seems to
bear the same relation to the open market that
policy playing bears to lottery dealing "
These organs who have done their
utmost in years past to induce the
public to believe that Blaine is vcnal,
corrupt, and that he has enriched his
Golfers by selling his influence, arc
now having hard contract in their
endeavor to pooh pooh at the charges
in which they have heretofore declar
ed their implicit belief 1t also makes
itan uphill business for them to prove
that the men, who now believe pre-
ciseIy what they believed and charg,
ed eight years and four years ago, are
dudes, hypocritcs, pharisees, etc.

It's all very well says, the Detroit
Free Press, to get out of the old Office
into the new, and pile up tho con
veniencies until you can't rest, and
have everything to be proud of, but
when a man has had one den for
fifteen long years-is familiar with
every nail-head in the stairs, has car
ried the same key to the same door,
sat in the same chair at the same desk
why, somehow or other he feels as
if he were going back on old friends
to make a change.
Will the women w1.o has written
"a little poem" fine The new place?
All! She has been up here times
without number-always giving a
half afraid knock-always sitting
down with a lump in her throat al
ways indignant that her poetic talent
was not applauded instead of DIS
couraged-always going out with a
feeling that if she were any other
woman her poem would have been
the first page.
And the man who wants retrac-
tion-will he be able to find us! We
got so we could tell one even before
his feet hit the first stair Susan b.

up here to denounce the man who
wrote that item; Harry Hill has
mounted the stairs TO demand cor

murderers, and ice-seekers, all have
been here in their time.
Editors have come and gone re-

fire has swept down the halls and

we have seen old buildings come down
and new ones go up until scarcely a

THE Milwaukee Sentinel is happy
in communicatin. that the Irish
World states that unless the demo

will support Blaine. Probably the
paper did not state such thing and
if it did it had better trot over TO the

chance OF getting the nomination
than the editor of the Irish World,

demands that all saloons be closed on

include dozen large parks under the
management of the leading brewing
companies and the Germans will re
sist the move together with one thou

association members were strenuous in
their opposition TO granting license

this afternoon. He had been gradu-
ally sinking from the effects of ma
larial fever contracted some weeks
ago while on a visit south. The ply
sicians did not virtually abandon hope
until late last night. He was uncoR-

in 1919 at Glasgow, where his father
was sergeant Of police; was appren-
ticea to a cooper, and at 80 years of
age attained prominence In the Char
list connection, his connection with
which forced him to leave Great
Britain. At Dundee, Ill, Pinkerton
established a paying cooperage
business and later, incidentally,
engaged In amateur detective work.
Success at the latter decided his future
career. The story of the establish
ment of the Pinkerton detective

abolition movement, and the promi-

during Lincoln's administration, as
well as his hairbreadth escapes and
