Owing to criticisms as to his lax meth
cd of conducting the investigation into
which. with the postal scandals, have
revealed to the public some of the syste-
matte stealing which has been carried on
for months and months by certain of our
government officials who were members
of an organized gang of grafters, Secre-
tary Of Interior Hitchcock has deemed il
prudent to make public statement COW
ering the main points of the exposure,
and regarding the steps being taken to
bring the guilty parties to justice.
The leading spirits in the fraudulent
transactions brought to light are mostly
men who have occupied positions of in
fuence and high standing, both socially
and politically, and many are men OF
wealth. Their operations have been car
ried on chiefly in the States of California
and Oregon.
The scheme to defraud the government
was of gigantic proportions, and, briefly
stated, was to obtain good titles FROM the
United States for its public lands, in ex-
change for worthless titles to school lands
secured by the grafters through forged
afidavits, etc. Hundreds of thousands
of acres of public lands were involved in
the scheme, but the political highwaymen
had only succeeded in getting, titles to
about 90, 900 acres when their big steal
was discovered.

unteer Artillery. In March, 1899, he en-

two additional clerks and two additional
openers and packers to expedite business in

examined under these invoices has already
been released importers will suffer no ha rd-

Trainmen pass rigid examination
to ascertain whether or not they are
color-blind. 1t is fortunate that ad-
mission to no profession or occupa-
ton is conditioned on our being free
from beauty blindness. Years ago
Lowell wrote two lines in the Big
low Papers" which made a certain
young disciple of the poet blush at her
own ignorance.
Red cedars blossom, tn, though few folks
know ii,
An look all dipt i'll sunshine like poet.
Sure enough. red cedars do blossom
every spring, In the inimita BILE Gran
ford Mr.. Holbrook bursts forth to his
guests: Now what color are ash
buds in March? What color are they,
| say?" I'm sure | don't know sir"
said the visitor. Il knew you didn't.
No more did IAN old fool that | am!
till this young Mr. Tennyson comes
and tells me. Black as ash-buds in
March. And I've lived all my life in
the country. More shame for me not
to know! Black; they are jet-black,
madam 1t would be easy to add
other instances to prove that half the
world Is beauty blind. How many
of us know that shadows on the snow
are blue. Or that the sunset has
sometimes the green light that Cole
ridge saw? Or
That moon-shadows from the swaying
limb
Here are sharp and there are dim?
OF course a sense for beauty is often
dependent upon a sense for color, and
for these lighter touches of Dame Ma
ture keen observation is needed that
we may really taste the pleasure they
wait to give. To live among the
beauties of the world and to be blind
to them is as pathetic as to perish Of
thirst in sight of a clear, cool spring
That we do not know we are thirsty
only deepens the tragedy.
