Western railroad officials are SO thrifty
that their enterprise sometimes reduces
them to distress. Whether commendable
or not the device of western transporta-
ton agent who doubled the income of his
road by padding the United States mail
with huge pa kages of back number news
papers at least had the merit of compare
tive novelty. Yet the government didn't
appreciate his ingenuity. Genius of that
character doesn't at all impress the hard
headed United States sta tutes and the de-
partments at Washington.

Another governor has proceeded to ignore
the aspirations of Connecticut's brevet ex-
seutive. Since the state has no legitimate
governor rogues and rascals are shaving a
high old time. They then proceed to an
adjoining sovereignty and grin back over
the fence at the Nutmeg officials. What
sort Of pert reply Mr.. Bulkeley will make
to Gov. Russell is not yet known. But
there is no particular reason to believe that
he will not BE- quite as 6ppant in dealing
with the governor of Massachusetts, as he
was with the governor Of New York.

When a son of the late but not altogether
generally lamented John Brown recently
visited Connecticut a local chronicler sent
cut the statement reported to have ema-
mated from him to the effect that he has
buried all uukind feeling toward the
south" and that the designated locality has
mo truer friend than the remaining mem
bers" of his family. Such statement was
very civil of Mr.. Brown. if he really made
1t. Still it may be rather fortunate for the
states to which he alludes that they are not
actually suffering for his friendship.

After the recent bold declaration of Land
lord Roessele before the American Land.
lords Association at Cleveland last week no
self-respecting state legislator can bring
himself to enter the Arlington hotel at
Washington. Possibly Mr.. Roessele's state
ment may be true as applied to the New
York legislature. But beyond a doubt
there are legislatures in the country that he
could not buy for s256,0O0, nor for any
other sum. Furthermore, IL Mr. Roessele
intends 20 institute q conspiracy for COR
rupting legislative bodies IL is the duty Of
legislatures everywhere TO weed out his
schemes and the nefarious enterprises Of
ali who may agree With him in adopting
such INSCRIPTIONS methods. Men OF that

Notwithstanding all these brilliant
descriptions we have lately had of the
wonderful new tin mines that are bobbin9
up in so many different counties
throughout the country, the
alleged producers of this supposedly
abundant and useful ore are singularly shy
about exhibiting it to the general public or
placing it on sale in the open market. Some
time ago the New York Evening Post
offered to furnish a responsible buyer for
5000 boxes of tin plate from an American
mine, or to contract for the whole output
of productive aud reliable vein. Although
this plain business proposition was kept be-
fore the public in the most conspicuous
window of the Post building for a long
time it has not yet received any response
whatever. Only one inference can be
drawn from this. That is that with such
pretenses those who claimed to exhibit
specimens of American tin plate merely
committed petty fraud for the purposes
of partisan politics. Such paltry devices so
plainly betray the innate weakness of a
party that the most surprising thing for
the general public is that they should be
resorted to at ALL

CaterpiIlars are said to be so maryelouslv

Caterpillsrs are said to be so marvelously
numerous in Minnesota that they actually
stopped train near Mankato few days
ago. Millions of them are said TO have
swarmed over the track until the wheels of
the train could not be made to adhere.
They simply slipped around in the grease

that recently did so many humorous things.

Getting Her Share of Notoriety.

Mrs. John L. Sullivan, the wife Of the prize
fighter, is getting almost as much notoriety
as her husband. She is figuring in divorce
case in which Parson Henry e. Rowland is
defendant. Mrs. Rowland is the plaintiff =.
and she feels aggrieved because her husband
prefers the society of Mrs. Sullivan to her
| own.
All the parties live in Providence, R. 1. a.,
aud Parson Rowland is a leader in the
Salvation Army. 1t is alleged by Mrs.
Rowland that her husband was good sort
of man until Mrs. Sullivan joined the
church, and then trouble began for her.
1t seems that Mrs. Rowland is good deal
of a terror, and when her husband showed
decided liking for Mrs. Sullivan's COM
pany she devoted all her spare time to lect-
uring him. When she found that he had
accepted diamond ring from Mrs. Sullf-
van, and received presents of money, some
of which he had sent to her, she could hard
| ly find words to express her indignation. AT
least such is the story which she told in
court.
The case has not been finished. Mrs. Sui
livan, it is expected, will take the witness
stand and give her version of her acquaint-
ance with the Salvation Army parson.
What she has to say may show that she is
only an enthusiastic salvationist.
But where is John L. all this time9 Is be
so interested in winning fame as an actor
that he has no time to look after his wife,
If Parson Rowland isn't careful he may
have a chance to make the acquaintance OF
John LIS good right arm. If the champion
strikes him once he will not do any more
work for the Salvation Army.

BLUE RIDGE SPRINGS, Sept. 22.-[Spe-
cial THE season here is drawing to
close, but many lovers of the attrac-
tions of this delightful mountain resort
still linger here and find much to amuse
and interest them.
On Tuesday morning party of thirty
eXcurSioniStS started in n special car
which was chartered by Mr.. Ii. d. LAT

DIAGNOSIS AND REMEDY.

After determining tho beginning, OK
tent, duration and amount of the finan-
cial irregularity of the chief of police,
it is the duty of the select committee
of Councils to learn who are response
BILE for permitting this defalcation to
make beginning and exist for some
undetermined period.
On this point The TIMES desires to
call especial attention o chapter w of
the general ordinances, and especially
in Section o, in which the duties Of
the auditor are set forth in detail.
Chapter II, section 4, is a misty or
dinsnce. 1t reads: For malfeasance,
neglect of duty, incapacity or any other
good cause tho Council may remove
from Office any officer appointed by it.

w. S. Dashiell Indicted for Forgery.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 22.-Thc grand
jury of the Hastings Court to-day in
dicted w. ). Dashiell on the charge of
forgery, and his case will be tried at
this term of the court. This is the case
in which Mr.. Dashiell, popular young
real estate agent here, is charged with
forging the name of Mr.. j. S. Ludwig,
of Plttsburg, Pa, to four negotiable
notes.
The accused will be represented by
Hon. John S. Wise, George D. Wise and
other eminent counsel. Mr.. j. a. Lud-
wig, brother of the gentleman who is
prosecuting the case, has instituted a
suit in the chancery court against that
gentleman and w. S. Dashiell. The
suit grows out OF the settlement of the
estate of the deceased father of the
Ludwigs, of which Dashiell is the ad-
ministrator.

HOW TO INVESTIGATES,

The special committee of Councils to
Investigate the shortage OF city funds in
the hands OF Chief Morris will meet to-
morrow. 1t has been organized with
Thoroughness which promises effective
results.
1t has boon charged that Chiof Morris
was short in his accounts during Mayor
Carr's administration. This is denied
by prominent city officials, who claim
that the shortage has accrued within
the last twelve months.
The course Of procedure to ascertain
the facts is SO simple thata fifteen-year-
old boy need not go astray. Tho COM
mittee should take the records and axe
an accurate transcript in throo parallel
columns Of
First. The amounts reported by tho
mayor as collected in fines month by
month from tho time Mr.. Morris began
to handle the funds.
Sccoud. The amounts and dates Of the
paid warrants issued to the chief of DO
lice by the city auditor.
Third. The amounts and dates of
sums paid by the chief of police into
the city treasurer's Office as shown by
the latter's books.
All three ought to balance on each
paid warrant issued. Up to within
twelve months the second and third
columns have balanced. How ABOUT
TIE FIEsT AND sEcoyD COLUMNS BEFORE?

A BUMpr1ous OFFICIAL.

The City Councils once started in in
vestigating may find it difficult to stop.
1t will investigate Chief Morris, and
then it will need to investigate others
of the force Then it may get beyond
the police force and learn thing or
two in other departments of the city
government.
THE TINES would suggest that Coun-
ellis shake up matters in its own
chamber little. Representatives of
THE TIMES have repeatedly noticed
that motions on important public mat
ters would be passed one way and APP
pear in the public records in very
different manner. This is due partly
to the carelessness of G. L. Bennett,
clerk of Councils, and possibly in part
to an overwhelming conviction that he
knows what Councils ought to do much
better than Councils itself.
One Characteristic act on his part con-
sisted in neglecting to lay before Coun-
ellis the resolution of the Real Estate
Exchange in favor of an advisory board
some time last spring.
The clerk of Councils, it will also be
remembered, proceeded to advertise an
ordinance for an election on bonds for
an electric light plant, though mono
such was passed by Councils.
This same efficient official took notes
of Councilman Wclch's motion to pave
around the market house and tho public
square in such form that q supreme
bench of judges would be unable to de-
termine what was meant.
Councilman Shechan moved Monday
night that bids for the city Advertising
for the year be asked for. On that
motion an advertisement has been pre-.
pared by the clerk of Councils which for
vagueness and indefiniteness rivals any
of his recent efforts.
Some officials hang so long on to the
public teat that they finally regard them
selves as an Indispensable part of it's
anatomy, assuming an air of proprietor
ship and exclusive control not warranted
by circumstances.

Much to Say About Millinery.

NEW YORK, June %, 1s01.-The girl in
the blouse is the girl who is interesting.
That is. of course, there may be interest in
the girl, or interest in the blouse, or inter-
ost in both girl and blouse, which last is
from come points of view the most to be
desired state of affairs. spent one fright
fully hot evening last week in a school for
teaching English to immigrant Russian
Jewesses, maintained 0he school, not the
women by the Baron Hirsch Fund. The
low-browed, swarthy, graceful creatures
were interesting, and they wore blouses and
these blOuses were also interesting being of
light figured cambria and fastened with
small white pear, buttons. They wore
dinsy leather belts and at least half of them
had tucked under their belts pessimistic
daisies or heaVy-hearted roses of the sort
you buy at the rate of three for cents on
any street corner.
Their blouSeS were not of the kind that
usually find place in a fashion letter, though
even better worth considering than those
other blouses worn in tennis match it was
my good fortune to witness the morning
alter the school visit, which dissipation
had wound up by taking night train for
Newport.
The Newport tennis players were neither
low browed or swarthy, but l doubt if they
were as graceful as my Russians. Your
athletic girl somehow does not run to grace
as rule. They wore silk blouses in two
cases out of three. A girl who appeared to
be particularly good at something the ex-
pertS call, | believe, forehand voley, wore
an especially pretty blouse of pale yellow
silk with yoke of sole de chine in deeper
shade of yellow. The full sleeves were of
the darker tone also, and were gathered into
