The smith.Depew Affair.

Mr.. Goodwin Smith appears to be getting
himself disiked in this country. He is talk
ing good deal about the rebuke which Mr.
Chauncey NJ. Depew administered to him at
| the dinner of the society of St. George, in New
York, few evenings ago. In the course OF
his remarks Mr. Smith said that, in his opin-
ion, the sympathy expressed i'll this country
for the Irish cause by newspapers and
| public men was not sincere
but was intended to catch the Irish vote.
Mr. Depew, who was one of the guests OF
the evening, said that he disagreed with
Mr.. Smith, and gave a reason or two for
! his disagreement. The expressions of both
gentlemen were rather out of place, as the
occasion was not one for the utterance OF
opinions calculated TO excite disapproval,
but as Mr.. Smith had gone out of his way
to question the integrity Of the press and
public men in this country, Mr.. Depew was
justified in saying what he did in defense
of them.
1t would have been much better for Mr..
Smith if he had let the matter drop when
he left the banquet hall. 1t seems, how
ever, that he felt that he had not been
treated with all the courtesy to which he
was entitled by Mr.. Depew, and has been
telling the Canadian newspapers that the
reason Mr.. Depew said what he did at the
st. George banquet is that he is a candidate
for President and is seeking the Irish vote.
This is unkind in Mr.. Smith, to say the
least of it, Mr.. Depew has been telling his
newspaper friends all along that he is not
candidate, and that he is an earnest sup
porter of Mr.. Blane's. 1t is probable that
when Mr.. Depew answered Mr.. Smith he
had no thought of the Presidency, and did
not consider that what he might say would
have an important bearing upon his polit-
ical fortunes 1t is certain, however, that
Mr. Smiths talk has already had an appre-
ciable effect upon Mr.. Depew's chances of
being the Republican Presidential nominee.
The fact is being emphasized that Mr.. De
pew spoke in defense of the Irish, and the
Irish voters would rally around him in
large numbers whatever position he might
seek, if it were an honorable one.
If Mr.. Smith really wants to do Mr..
Depew an injury he will cease writing
about him in newspapers, and gosslping
about him in his absence. Instead of doing
him an injury the chances are he will do
him great deal of good. Mr.. Depew's
prospects for getting the nomination are
pretty good He is both smart and lucky.

The Youngest Cowboy.
From the Chicago Ne,rs.


Fort WORTH, Tx, April 16.-The youngest
cowboy in the world is at present visiting this
city. He is Logan Mulhall a herd-ow in the
Cheyenne Nation, and he is just month or so
over years old The boy owns over a hundred
head of cattle, has his own brand, which is duly
registered, and he does fully as much of his
own work as any boy of has done. even in the
West. This very juvenile patriarch is a son of
Zach Muhall, well known through the cow
country and his father is firmly convinced that
such another young prodigy has not yet APP
peared in the grazing lands. The young gem
tleman was formally put in possession OF herd
some months ago. He has had made for him
self little Winchester rife and a special re-
volver, with both of which arms he is said to be
very expert.
The boy has his own bunch of horses and
hires his own help of course under the superin-
tendence Of his father. and during the present
spring he has every day ridden line Of more
than three miles about his herd.
This is a development of young America
which the herders in these parts do not believe
can be equaled in any other part of the country
The boy Is worth about 81 200 in his own right,
and his profits will not be less than $500 a year,
which is more than falls to the lot of the aver

One of the girls in fashionable society in New

other day. and after confding her intention to

800, 900 to buy house and $25, 900 to furnish it
with" And what will you give me to live

The Direct Tax Bill Again.
From the Mem York Herall1 Ind ,

The scheme of some Republican Senators to
try to revive the direct tax bill at this session
by hitching it on to the Sundry civil bill is, we
suspect, nothing more than another device to
waste the time of Congress with the view to de-
feat the Mills bill to reduce the surplus and re-
wise the tariff. But the Republicans ought to
know by this time that it will do them no good
TO defeat tariff revision. That question cannot
be put down. Defeat the bill and it will become
the sole and great issue in the Presidential
campaign
