Ingenicus smugglers.

The ingenuity of smugglers has
never perhaps been more strikingly
illustrated than it was a few days
ago en- the Swiss-Italian frontier
An innocent-locking WAGNER, with
wagon load of cheese, arrived at
the italian custom house at Chiasso.
He had come from Lugano, and his
destination was a small Italian vii
lage called Marignan. The cheese
weighed three tons, and the wagon
er, who was "child-like and bland,' y
whistled blithely as he duly presen-
ted his papers, which certified that
he was employed by the firm Of
to convey the cheese, which formed
part of only a large order, to its
purchaser at Marignan. The papers
we're examined and found correct,
and before resuming his journey the
wagner stepped into neighboring
cafe with one of the douaniers, for
the day was bot, and cigarette
and a glass of wine could not fail to
be acceptable. But the delay for re-
freshments was destined to prove
fatal to the wagoner's hopes, for
during his absence another douanier
wistfully gazed on the tempting load
of cheese, and, thinking thst slice
from such quantity would never
be missed and at the same time
wonld, in conjunction with morsal
of garlic and piece Of black bread,
afford him a delectable supper, he
whipped out his knife and, selecting
a prime looking cheese, he proceeded
to cut into it, or rather he did not
cut into it, for either his knife was
blunt or the cheese was uncommon
ly hard. This popularity induced
him to consult with q colleague, and
together they proceeded to make
something more than a cufsory ex-
animation Of these remarkable
cheeses. Lo and behold! They prov
ed to be not cheeses at all, but solid,
compact rolls of tobacco artfully
done up in cement; this again was
covered with canvass, which was
painted 10 represent cheese. Of
course the find was instantly con-
fiscated, and the blithc WAGNER was
transferred from the comforts Of the
cafe to the hardships of jail

COMMISSIONERS LAIBLIN.


Ever since the RspOsitory's abuse of
County Commissioner Smith and his Te
election over MIR. Shaft r, by the very
large and gratifying majority OF 854
votes, the Rep. has been sailing into It's
Republican Commissioner, Mr.. Cha les
+ LaioiiH, charging him with Mir. Shat
f4i y defeat, thus endeaVoring TO sniff
this responsibility from lis shoulders TO
JnOse of others. To this cool proceed
lag Mr.. LIiblin naturally Objsc,ed, aud
refused to shoulder the blunders, lies
and mistakes made and published by the
r o. gang In the late campaign. The
charge by one aud the denial of the
other, lead to several inter
views between the two, result
ing. however, In no reconciliation
b-tween them. To get revenge the Rs
posi- tory published what 1t claimed to De
correct report of Mr, Laiblin'5 state
ments in regard to the Commissioners
offi,e, in which among other things the
reporter had Mr.. Lai6lin sly that the
County Commissioners were allowing
the taxpayers to be robbed, and that
"the half of the cOrruptness OF the Com
mtssioneT's officer had not been shown
up and that he LsibliD) meant to stand
by that statement, SO made by him."
To ascertain what Mr., L!iblin had to
say about these published interviews, q
DEMOCRAT reporter called upon him
with the Repository interviews, After
reading them Mr.. L9iblln said:
"In regard to robbery or corruption
by our present Boar Of Commissioners,
you may say publicly through your
paper that | never made any such
charge, for know since am member
of the Board no robbery or corruption
has been practiced at any time.
Aud you can further say that great
many things, published in those various
interviews with me, are mere fictions,
and which | never stated to any re-
porter"
The denial of Mr.. Lsiblln should set
tie the matter to the satisfaction of
every fair minded person, especially
since the charge In the Repository is an
absurdity on it's face. Is 1t probable
that Mr.. Laiblin would charge robbery
and corruption upon the present Board
of honest and honorable men, Of which
he is member and participant in its
official proceedings? To believe the
Repository statements one must believe
that MIR. Laiblin charged himself with
robbery and corruption, which to say
the least would be rather remarkable
statement for any one to make. People
who know Mr.. Laiblil cannot be made
to swallow such dose, although 1t Is
nicely sugar-costed by the Repository.
