THE CLAWS STATEMENT.

The exceedingly long statement given
TO the public yesterday morning by Mr.
CLAWS, discharged. employee of the
Interior Department, seems 10 be pr'n'
cipolly n scold and an attempted sell
gloriGcation II is a vjruicnt attack
upon Secretary Ballingcr and ASSIST
ant Secretary Pierce. Mr.. Pierce IS
well known in this city, having been a
resident here for many years until his
appointment as First Assistant Sccrc-
tary by Mr. Garfield, soon after inc
visit of the latter to this city some
two years ago. Mr.. Pierce enjoys the
entire confidence Of this community as
an honorable citizen and sound lawyer.
1t would take immensely more than q
virulcnt attack by any one, especially
any one unknown in this community. TO
throw the least suspicion upon the IN
tcgrity and purity Of Mr. Pierce s mo-
tivcs or upon the Justice and legality
Of any determination which ho might
make The letter quoted by Mr CLAWS
as from Mr.. Pierce is = straightforward

upon it amounts TO anything. The fact

complete review Of the whole case,

undertakes TO show, is no proof of Mr..
Picrcc's lack of intelligence or OF IN.
| tcgrity. The probability is that on the
portion OF the case as reviewed by Mr.
Pierce, Mr. Wickcrsham would have
taken precisely the same view that Mr.
! Pierce did We do not sec, therefore
that Mr. CLAWS makes any hcadway in
his attack upon Mr.. Pierce. and through
him upon Secretary Ballingcr.
As TO the general feature of the case
it is abundautly evident that the in
forests of the Government have beer
protected all along. They were being
protected in legitimate and legal way
by The very officers that Mr.. CLAWS is
so vehement in sssailing. The differ
encc is precisely that, as has been here
toforc noted by Secretary Ballingcr, h'
is protecting tho interests of the gov

The resignation Of Mr. Bridweli, the
alleged building superintendent Of the
board, will tend materially 10 help the
sentiment in favor Of the bonds. As
we have said before, tho public scnti-
mcnt in this city is naturally very fsv-
orablc TO schools and 10 school work,
and with any sort of reasonable
housecleaning on the part of the board,
the prospect of an affirmative vote on
the bonds is Increased.

months AGO there was an Investigation

Mir. Bridwell, in striking back, made
IL very plain that certain members OF
I the board were a. badly implicated as

on the surface. Mr.. Newman, a mem

Mr.. Bridwell. bimscIf, gave out the in

THE SCHOOL BONDS ASKED.

The board of cducallon OF tu'a '''E
has finally taken action with regard
10 the proposed asking of halt-a-m'I'

this ciiv would favor tho installation
of two complete and thorough bT@h

When President Roosevelt and his party

they had with them as chief cook and bot
tie washer a native darby named Sam.
whose pOliteness was only exceeded by his
Drofessed fearlessness in the face of dan
ger.
After camp had been opened, sam was
sent out to reconnoiter in the Vicinity and
report prospects for game. Soon after he
had disappeared. uHeH rthly yeils were
heard and he was seen leaping ana
bounding through the thicket in des-
perate effort to overcome time and dis
lance in reaching camp. On his arrival.
