NRTUOUS (?) WRATH.

1t is really amusing to witness the
virtuous indignation of the editor of
the News over the fact that a few of
the democratic papers of the country
are trying to make capital out of the
postoffice scandals. The writer is
fully convinced that in time these
peculators will be punished for their
breach of trust We are also con
vinced that Roosevelt will order the
cases, which have become a stencil in
the nostrils of the leading men of the
republican party, to be probed to the
bottom. But we e not so literally
disposed in our views as to the honesty
of Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith.
The only place where there could
by possibility be any blame attach
ed to cur esteemed president is for
keeping the present postmaster general
a member of his official family, when
the evidence is so conclusive that the
latter has been aware of these pecu-
lations for the past four years, if not
directly implicated
There might be some grounds for
for the fact that the postmaster gen
eral became aware of these irregulari-
ties July 6, 1899, though a report made
by Mr.. Bristow, fourth assistant post
master general. General Smith was
again warned of these peculations
from the same source July 3lst of the
same year.
Mr.. Bristow further says that dur
ing the investigation, four years ago
in the postoffice department, he was
advised by the chief inspector that
t at official had instructed his subor-
dinates that they had better make no
reference to certain appointments, as
they had been ordered personally by
the postmaster general.
Mr.. Bristow also says that he told
the chief of inspectors to report the
facts as they would in any other in
spection and that he did not believe
the postmaster general had knowingly
authorized any Irregularities. And
then Mr.. Bristow further says that
he personally submitted the facts of
these ''glaring irregularities" to the
postmaster general: but the general
public knows. and so does Mr.. New
ton if he keeps himself informed, that
these questionable Irregularities. or
downright thievery would be a better
term, have been kept from the public
and no effort made to correct them until
the present year Even then they
we're not furnished to the public by
Postmaster General Smith, but were
forced to the surface by Semore W.
Tullock. of New York City.
1t is regrettable fact that Mr.
Newton goes into spasms if anything
bearing the brand of republican, no
matter how rotten, is criticised by
those of contrary views.

The goose settled t5 the earth a few hundred yards from the hack, and B E. was soon in hot pursuit of it. The goose was too tired 10 rise again from the earth, but with the assistance Of his wings be proved d pretty fair sprinter and as he had d fue start he gave the insurance man the race of his life. They went over the rocks and tn rough the cactus at a lively rate Adams was several times in the act Of pick ing up the goose when rock would turn and he would take a header, and by the time he recovered himself the goose would have another good start, The boys in the hack said itwas a beauti- ful race. and they were all willing to bet on the goose, but they didn't know Adams, who not many years ago had sprinter of the Gila valley. As the goose had wings Adams was under a heavy handicap, but that made no difference to hlm. He vas out for meat, and he was going to have 1t, and the more the boys in the hack laughed l and yelled the harder he ran. Success | finally crowned his efforts, and he re- turned to the hack with a l5-pOund | goose. but he had left the better part of pair of Sl5 trousers on the chap | parel.

Prudential has resided in the southwest thirtyfve years. He came 10 Clifton is 1873, and was at that time in the employ of the Lezinsky Bros. who opened up this camp as a copper producer. At that time Mir. Frudenthal says nothing less than 20 De" cent copper ore could be worked. and if q man had then predicted that even ten per cent copper would be worked at profit he would have been considered crazy. At the present time ninety per cent of the tonnage averages less than three per cent, and the com. panies are making money on that. Mr. Prudential now predicts that In few years one per cent ore will be handled at profit in this district. Mir. Fru- denthal has seen many changes in this district, and many will agree with his predictions for the future. While here he visited Metcalf and the mines of that section and was greatly sur prised at the many changes made in the last few years. When q boy he wor ked in the old LOngfeilow, which produced hundreds or thousands of tons of rich ore, but he says that the Long fellow in its best days did not equal the Standard for high grade ore.

! The death of Moody Merrill, alia-
 Chas. Grayson, which occurred at Sil
 yer last week, clotes a most eventiuI
 career of a man who was one of New
 Mexico's most useful citizens. Moody Merrill was A man of large affairs in Boston, but was wrecked in the tiuan- cial hurricane of 1898. He came to New Mexico almost penniless, changed his name to Chas. F. Grayson, and by some fortunate deals was soon in good financial circumstances. He was then elected president of the Silver City National Bank, one of the oldest and most successful institutions in the south west From that time on fortune favored him and he augmented his wealth rapidly. IL soon began to b. noised about that he was under an as- sumed name and the prestige which he had gained by several years Of honest business transactions was fast slipping away. In the mean time he had sent vast sums of money tO trusted friends in Boston to settle with creditors, but the money was not turned over, and last summer while in Naw York he was arrested on d charge Of embez- element, and although he was ready for trial the parties did not appear in court. I, can be said to his credit that his friends both in the east and west stayed with him in his trouble. Mir. Grayson did more for Silver City and Grant county than any other man who ever lived there. His death will be a loss to the country.
