Nj. Smith in Mysteries.
"a Thing or Two," Promised by Him,
Not So Important, After All.

The Hon. Charles Emory Smith.
Postmaster General Payne's predeces-
sor in Office and editor of the "Phila-
delphia Press" is gaily continuing to
prove to his own satisfaction, if TO
no one else's, that he knows a thing
or two" AT the rate he is going on,
we fear precious little will be left to
convince his readers that he ever
knew anything. Not to put too fine
a point upon it, he Is spreading the
butter of his disclosures pretty thin.
And even then the article is aggres
sively stale.
Mr. Smith has discovered within
the last few days what he failed to
discover when he thoroughly investi-
gated" the Tulloch charges in 1899,
that they were practically identical
with the report Of the inspector de-
tailed to investigate them. In other
words, Mr.. Smith contends that both
documents were written by the same
man. More, Mr.. Smith charges that
General Bristow, without troubling
himself TO make an Independent in
vestigation into the truth or falsity of
those charges, adopted the inspectors
report as his own, and that, therefore.
the chances are that the three docu-
ments are traceable to one source
s. W. Tulloeh.
This great eleventh-hour discovery
causes the Hon. Charles Emory Smith
to break out in the following fashion: /:
The Tulloch sang-it would dignity them too
much TO call them conspirators-apparently had
their way for a time. Now see how the whole
brood Of pestiferos mosquito liars are flying for
covert The broadside Of the former Postmaster
General at their mendacity. duplicity, and col
lusion has set them scampering . find an es-
cape The wriggling gang Of liars

We are unable 10 enter into com
petition with the late Postmaster Cen
eral on these lines. We prefer deal
ing in facts, rather than mud. In the
end we think even Mr.. Smith will ad-
NIT that it is more satisfactory.
We ask, then, what difference it
makes whether the aforesaid three
documents had one or half dozen
authors? Suppose, for the sake Of
argument, zone S. W. Tulloch" wrote
all three, does that affect IN any way
the truth or falsity Of the assertions
made by him2 Mr.. Smith must think
his readers singularly innocent if he
imagines that be can deceive them by
this sort Of balderdash.
Let Mr.. Smith remember, above all,
that the Tulloch charges are not "the
whole thing" They are, as matter
of fact, a very small part only Of the
rottenBess existing in the postal sery-
ice-now and at the time lac was It's

SEEN IN CHIHUAHUA
Changing Conditions in the Land oi
 the Aztecs.

G. M. Fowler returned home ye ter day morning from a twelve days p in old Mexico, WI r7 he went to eX- anime mine for c tern people. He says the mine looks .ood. but as yet there is no transaction to announce respecting its ownership.
 MT Fowler's visit was to the state of Chihuahua. with the city of that name for headquarters. He says it is a wonderful old city, but the most not able things he saw were swallows and hairless dogs. The swallows, he says, are ''as thick as the leaves of Vallam brosa." and the dog census is not far behind. Chihuahua dogs, however, have quite commercial value, or at least some them do for they have been known to sell all the way from $100 to $1,000. But there are hundreds of them in Chihuahua that are not worth kill ines. Probably that's what the MeXi- cans think, too, or they would kill some of them. But the people he likes much better. He says they are hospitable and handsome. The latter attribute it is understood is intended to apply mainly to the ladies.
 During his trip to the mine he rode three days in the rain and sWam the Conchas river from necessity rather than choice. He also had ride Of fifty-seven miles on the new Orient railroad which is completed for con- sidera ble distance both east and west of Chihuahua, and another section of which is in operation Cn the west coasy.
 Another pleasing incident of the trip was a visit to a colony of Boers that have settled east of Chihuahua. He says they seem to be d nice class Of people and interesting to talk to. They are only the advance guard of the colony, for the most part representing heads of families. The women and children will join them soon.
 He says the Americans seem to have almost captured Chihuahua in 9 com mercial and industrial way and there is lots of capital from the United States being invested in that state. A comment was made to him by a citizen of Chihuahua that seemed to be pretty well founded. The Mexican said: All our people are going to the United States to work on railroads and the people of the United States are taking their places here both in the building and operation of railroads and ln the development of our mineS."
 Speaking of water again, MT. Fowler said that on Monday night the whole country east of Maricopa seemed to be vast lake. being under water for nearly twenty miles.

DEAD FISH
A Phoenix Committee Appointed to
 Investigate Mortality.

Jim Bark returned yesterday from . weeks trip through the Bark X Cris- well cattle range in the Superstition mountains. Having laid out an itfr- erary which would take him over most of the range, MT. Bark stuck to his programme notwithstanding the rain. As a result he was thoroughly drenched by the downpour several times. Sleep ing in the open in a September rain is not the most pleasant experience in the world, but there were no bad re- suits.
 Mr. Bark returned with one interest ing piece of news. Something is kill ing the fish in the Salt river. Thou sands of dead fish were floating through the lower box canyon Satur- day. There were carp, suckers and the so-called Salt river salmon. Many of the carp were more than two feet long. MT. Bark said he was at loss to account for the mortality that has overtaken the rivers population.
 When the report became current around town that all the fish in the river were dead or dying, there was considera ble excitement among the colored citizens who are noted as fish ermen, and - rank Shirley sent com mittee to the river to ascertain if the catfish were included in the disaster. His advices last evening were that few if any catfish had died.

TONTO UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Secretary Hitchcock Says Things
 Warranting Pleasing differences.

Secretary Hitchcock has not yet
 officially ordered the construction of
 the Tonto dam, or at least if he has,
 he has not made the fact public But
 In an interview with a representative
 of the Globe Democrat, given in Eos
 ton on the 18th of this month, he said
 things from which the most pleasing
 inference may be drawn. The works
 he refers to in Arizona as under con
 struction must be construed to mean
 the Tonto enterprise. While it is not
 too late yet fer the secretary to stop
 proceedings it is very evident he has
 no notion of doing so and this inter view is the first in which the secretary
 personally has been committed to the project even by inference.
 After mentioning the matter of the iHvestigat tiCn of Indian affairs in the
 Indian territory Secretary Hitchcock
 said:
 "The work of irrigation on arid lands of the west, being undertaken under the reclamation act, Is an important progress in the development of the na- tion. Under this act the government has use of s160O0,OO which is being used in providing a water supply for great tracts of land. formerly consid- cred won Unless. In Arizona, Utah and Nevada this work is now going on. l Great reservoirs for the storage of water are now being constructed from which the government will furnish water. The plan is for the govern ment to develop the water supply, which will be rented to landholders | When the system of watering is con- i pleted the improvements will be sold to the landholders according to the cost The money appropriated for the work will thus be turned over and | ever. As soon as one district is pro- vided with irrigation facilities the l money realized from the sale of water will be used in improving another dis trict."

THE RESPECT FOR UNIFORMS.

There is in human nature love Of uniforms. It is related that in Cuba the firemen at every alarm go home and put on their special brilliant re- galia before they can be persuaded to visit the scene of the confiagration. They feel the dignity of their office far better, il they wear the insignia. and her people demand it of them. It was related some years ago when Pennsylvania was having one of its customary coal riots that the ignorant miners, unfamiliar with our language CT ways, could not realize that there was any power in sheriff's posse be- cause he and his deputies did not wear uniforms. To the refugee from the strong hand abroad the uniform was the evidence of authority. The man in blue jeans was no more to be obeyed than any other stranger, and so blood was shed in resistance.
 In a greater or less degree this ad- miration for a uniform prevails all about. The esteemed members of the Governors Foot Guard move around on the streets among the rest of us on ordinary occasions and the shopping excursionist from New Haven or any other of the outlaying towns would not draw any distinctions in the crowd. But, let the guard put on their scarlet coats and their black fur hats and get in between the curbs of Main street, and they are the whole thing. All the rest of us line the side walks and admire. The men are the same estimabe citizens with whom we have been rubbing elbows with no consciousness of inferiority, but add the uniform and nobody else is in it. Hartford Courant.

THE SUBLIME PORTE.

The sublime porte" is the French translation of the Turkish term "babi aale.'' "Babi' means door and "aale" superior. Every government seat in Turkey is called "the door," because the door of every office is supposed to be open to those who seek justice and redress. The most important of all government offices, that of the grand vizer and the three principal minis ters Of state. is known as the sublime porte." The other government offices are not all in the same locality, and are merely referred to as the door" :" The council of ministers sits at the sublime porte under the presidency of the grand viZer and in this way the government of Turkey has come to be known as the Sublime porte" Nowa- days the sublime porte is merely q name; the seat of the real govern ment of Turkey is in the Yildiz Kiosk, the sultan's palace. The working eX- penses Of this extraordinary palace and its surroundings are said to be s25.000 q day.

Baxter 6 Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, January 9.-If the reports of a. large amount of cotton yet to be picked are worthy of serious consideration, it. is strange that the market is not hammered by the people sending or receiving. such reports For instance, some houses pre- tend to have advices of unheard-of quanti- ties yet to be picked while the foreign element also pretend to believe that the amount to come on the market between now and March 1 will prove a great sur prise to the trade. The same parties are also trying to belittle the ginners' report indicating that there is little to come forward, but fail to show where their reports are in any way more reliable. 1t seems that sentiment is being governed by current receipts, and those continue to favor long operations. The throes of pros perity has yet to reach it's climax, and trade conditions are improving every where to such an extent that cautious people prefer to interpose no opposition to a higher level of prices. A further hardening tendency was shown in the early market. New Orleans was buying some. and the fact that Liverpool stocks lost 100000 from last year attracted at tenuon. The insight movement was 335,- GOO vs. S67000 cables easy at an advance of 3 points. A better demand for cloths was shown at Manchester. German houses bought here.

Cotton Letter.

Gilbert & Cays Cotton Letter to Coth-
 ran 9 Co.,
 New Orleans, January 9.--Liverpool acted in favorable manner today, rather indicating a tendency to maintain the pre- vailng level of value, instead of taking fear at the prospect of larger receipts There was an advance of about points in deliveries and points in spots, with sales of 5000 bales. Cables stated that traders on the continent had been volun- tarily advised by prominent New York operator to sell cotton, explaining that an enormous long interest had been ac- cumuated which must be liquidated as receipts would grow larger. Attention, however, was called in the cable that trade in Manchester was improving, and considerable business was impending in that market.
 Transactions were effected here In a somewhat undecided fashion. Speculation seemed to be indifferent to immediate de- velopments and professionals were pug zled by the course of statistics. Fluctua- tions were accordingly restricted to a nar- row range and the tone ruled steady. The weeks statistics were indisputably fa- vorable but the visible supply statement furnished astonishment even for the bulls for notwithstanding that 33000 bales of American cotton appeared in sight, this week the visible supply lost 360o0 bales showing that the whole weeks crop move ment and 36,000 bales additional, amount ing to S69, 900 bales have disappeared. This fact served to stimulate the belief that consumption is proceeding at full pace making it more imperative for receipts to pick up promptly and decidedly if large crop ideas are to be taken into consid- eration.
