From the Boston Advertiser.

While Postmaster General Cortelyou is
being rather bitterly and vindictvely criti-
cised in the democratic press. it is worth
some notice that there is Tin this section
of the country. at leasb no discovera BILE
public opinion behind that criticism. ANY
one who attempts TO keep in touch with
public opinion cannot fail to be impressed
by the failure of the public to respond to
these continued attacks Oh Cortelyou. Fer
that very reason it is hard to see why the
unfair attacks are kept up so persistently.

The Best Part.

A bold explorer started forth
To find the frozen pole.
He journeyed bravely to the north.
Undaunted was his soul.
But many plans must go aniss.

He got back home alive.
An actor (bad) once craved much fame.
He'd take the world by storm.
To Washington a statesman came,
With schemes for quick reform
All, 'gainst how many dreams of bliss
Doth cruel fate contrive.
The best part of the trick was this.
They got back home alive!

ANOTHER GRAFT EXPOSED.
San Francisco Public worke Official
In Tolls of heneN.

San Francisco, May, S.-The inquiry
before the grand jury today developed
the fact that a gigantic graft has been
carried on by President George Duffey,
Of the board Of public works. Duffey's
graft was done through the rental OF
teams for the use OF the city. In some
cases the expenditure for team and
driver went as high as $50 day.
Duffey was formerly member CT the
board Of supervisors and was one OF the
most active bribetakers Of that aggrega-
tion. II is charged against Duffey that
he has continued TO graft in the face OF
the grand jury's investigation.

The government will first determine

Boise, Ida, May s.-Counsel for
prosecution and defense in the steu-

to their final preparatory work, and
there is every reason for believing that
the trial Of William Haywood, fret OF
the accused men, will be ccmmsnced
on Thursday next. Various reports as
to moves tending TO further delay the
trial are in circulation, but the attitude
OF both sides indicates that they are
ready for trial.

Governor StennenbergI This motion,
which is designed to secure disclosure

This Is not regarded a. likely TO delay
the trial. The Idaho code and practice,
modelled closely upon those OF Calitor-
MIA, make no provision for bills OF par
ticulars in criminal cases, and In the
