IT is amusing to read the continued
shrieks of republican papers that Mark
Smith has done nothing in congress
He has done mora for the territory than
all the delegates who preceded him
from Arizona.
We, for one, propose to keep on anus
ing the Arizona democracy. There is
no trick in doing it as 1T takes but little
TO please them. We propose, however,
while this tickling process is going or ,
to be fair to Mark Smith aud give him
credit Cor any meritorious thing that be
had done during his six years residence
at the capital But the old ard staple
stock that territorial delegate cannot
affect legislation for the reason that he
has no voice in the affairs of the nation,
has been worn thread-bare by Marks
adherents. They have justified him in
his incompetency, till We here rise ID re-
mark that unless the signs of the times
are misleading his lease on office is linn
tied TO the present congress. Arizona
would have been as well off without q
representative at Washington as she
has been with Smith in the place he now
occupies. His record as public official
is said to be clean one. Possibly this is
true for the reason that he has made
no record at all. When important is
ues were before the house affecting the
territory he affected to represent he was
notoriously and consplcuously absent
His absence from the 54th congress will
be no less marked.

CLEVELAND as A CONsPIRAToR

In Nebraska n very curious answer
has been fled by defendant ID a suit
for the foreclosure OF q mortgage.
The answer charges that the plaintiff,
with other oneylenders in America
and abroad. conspired together with one
Grover Cleveland to repeal all free silver
laws and destroy silver as a circulating
value of a dollar is alleged to be now
much more than il was when the loan
was made. The defendant offers to ad-
NIT foreclosure for one-half the gross
sum.
1t is not at all likely that this answer
will hold water as legal defense. At
the same time it coutains no allegation
that IS not strictly true to the last
letter.
Every borrower in this country who
contracted q debt, secured or unsecured
by collateral, under Harrisop's admins
tration, owes more under Cleveland's ad-
minietratlon than the face value OF hie
debt at ths time he contracted ii.
Contracting currency and irritating in
debtedness sre only two different names

AN ASTOUNDING EXPOSE.

In connection, says the San Francisco
Bulletin, with S; nator Teller's amend
ment increasing the duty on diamonds
We get interesting news from London
and Cape Town. A cable from Premier
Rhodes of Cape Colony TO the olf ,ials
of the diamond trust in London, 1t Is
said, declares that Secretary Carlisle
promised last March that the senate
would modify the high duty put on dia-
monds by the Wilson bill.
II Premier Rhodes tells the truth, and
there seems no reason in this connec-
ton why he should do otherwise, the
question arises, why should Secretary
Carlisle have made any such promise.
aud why was he in CON munication any
way with the representatives of South
African diamond mining interests? Ii
Mr.. Carlisle felt himself competent as
long ago as some time in March to
declare what the senate would do IN
the matter Of diamond duties, it argues
case Of very close communication, 10
say the least, between the administra-
tiou and tie senate on pending iegisla-
tion.
But that is a mparatively small mat
ter. The main thing is that the United
States secretary of tbe treasury seems
to have confidential relations with q
foreign diamond t,ust, in which he ill.,
forms its officials cf proposed American
Legislation regarding their product, and
apparently undertakes to actually ln'
fiuencs legislation for the benefit OF
that trust. This bit of news is present
ed in a somewhat lnconspicuous man
ner in the press di patches. but it il
really one of the most astounding ex
poses of administration methods yet
made public. and that is saying great
deal. Unless Secretary Carlisle Car
clear himself promptly and fully of thi:
charge, his resignation should be il
order.

OYSTER CAUGHT A DUCK.
The RevengefuI Bivalve Drowned Its
WouId-Be Captor.

The meek and lowly oyster can some
times become a revengeful as well as
dangerous antagonist, as an unwary
duck found to his cost day or so ago
over on the Eastern Shore, says The bal
timore American. This careless duck, be-
longing to the tribe known as fisher
men" was swimming about In search OF
food. off the shore near Claiborne, when
he esped an oySter-a nice, lat, juicy
oyster he was-with shell widely parted,
feeding, doubtless. on the simple and
rather intangible diet upon which an
oyster Is supposed 70 feed.
The duck, true to his greedy instincts,
Owed for that supposed juicy morseI,
and was about to swallow him whole
without salt or pepper even, when the
angry passions of the oyster arose and
swapping his shells together. caught the
unsuspecting ducks bill in a vise-like
embrace.
The duck rose to the surface, shook
his head, mumbled apologies through his
tight-shut mouth. but the bivalve's heart
was hardened and he held on. Soon the
constant load pulling down his head and
growing weightier and weighter, began
10 tire the duck, and his neck arched
lower and lower. until. finally, 1t sank
into the water. and he was drowned.
A deckhand on the steamboat Tangier
saw the duck floating, with his head sub
merged, yesterday, and picked him up
The oyster was still clinging to his victim
with relentless, deadly grasp, and the
tragedy that must have been enacted as
described was revealed. Both the duck and
the slayer were brought to Baltimore re-
Gently on the Tangier. and proved quite
a curiosity.
