Minor Government Officials Pass Silk
Free at Custom House.

New York, Dec. 27.-Colone1 Smith,
who is chief of the special agents I'M
der the treasury department for the
district of New England is in this city
conducting an investigation into the
methods of the examiners in passing
silk goods. Since the transfer of these
goods from the third division
have been very heavy and have been
sustained by the board of general ap-
praisers, in some instances to the ex-
tent of over $50 per cent. Special Agent
j. c. Commings of the treasury depart
ment has sent in his report to Washing
ton regarding the result of his investi-
cation of alleged Irregularities in the
entry division of the custom house. His
report duplicates only one employee Of
the government, by name. In October
an importer of this city informed Agent
Cum mings that by the payment of
money to a roker's clerk he himself
could designate the packages in his in
voices which should go to the appraiser
for examination. Mr.. Cummings tested
this through the importer and selected
himself the numbers of the cases which
were duly ordered in by the employee.
This was on October 10,and it is alleged
a clerk in the employ of a well known
firm of customs brokers acted as the
g~o-between for the importer, receiving
800 to secure the privileges desired.

Henry Allen will generally stand for

an interview the next a after an in
dustrious reporter has fixed it UP with
his name attached to it. If he wasn't
there he keeps quiet n lets people

follows this rule. He was recently
quoted on the senatorial and numerous
other situations, however, in a way
thetic kick from him-if there is such
a thing-in his paper. the Ottawa
Herald:
1--WE regret to notice that the editor
of the Herald has been stopping over
again. He had a column interview in
one of the Topeka papers in which he
talks about everything political which
years and forces his opinion upon the
public, which doesn't care a rap for
his, or anyone else's opinion. In the
course of the interview he managed to
say a great many tiresome things, most
of which are true and patent. 1t looks
very much like the puny effort of a
man who is seeking to thrust himself
into print but doesn't know just how
to do 1t. The interview combined
prophecy, self assertive conceit and ig-
norance. The editor of the Herald says
in self defense that he was not present
when this interview with hin self was
given; h is no excuse, it was his duty
to be present. We have generally stood
by the editor of this paper but we do
not indorse his habit of being inter-
viewed through the absent treatment
method, or any other method. The edf-
tor of this ape talks too much any
way"
