WHY DICK HUDSON LAUGHS.
Colonel Dick Hudson has joke on the
administration. When the rascals, says
the Silver City Enterprise, we're fred out
by the reform administration, Dick, who
is hard-shell Republican, naturally ex-
pected to be relieved by simon-pure,
three-ply, dyed-in-the-woo advocate of
tariff reform and other Democratic hob
bies. Instead, he turned over his Office to
Captain l.. j. Burnett, 7th infantry, an
old companion in arms during the late
unpleasantness, who entered the army
about the same time and is about the
colonel's age, and moreover staunch Re-
publican. Strange to relate, no fault can
be found with Dicks stewardship, and it
will puzzle Hoke Smith or any other man
to pick a flaw in his accounts. In telling
the joke, as Dick terms it, he INDUCES in
one of those low musical laughs for
which he has become famous.
