• What's oatin' me right now." said
T mmany Tim to the Post reporter, "is
tin.- foreign situation. Yes; I stands in
on the start-out to confer on Tom Reed
the proper steer about how he makes up
these House committees. But, say! it
ain’t no use. I sees I’m dubbin’ on a dead
card, an’ quits him.
"It’s this mob of mugs who's jimrain’
a: und Reed all the time, squeezin’ for
perish makes the trouble. They’ve got
him all balled up.
It's enough to rattle a brazen image,
Tim, this is,' says Reed to me last time
we meet.
"I don't make no remarks back, an’
withhold me counsel. I sees the deal's
pot beyond me, so I gives the game the
dead go-by, an’ stops where I be. Reed's
goin’ it alone now an’ it’s me constant
prayer he misses gettin’ it in the neck,
which last racket after all, is what Tim
Campbell calls ominous.
"But, as I says, what's takin’ me breath
away is this mix-up with England. I’m
devotin’ me time to it, an’ now that me
an’ Cummin’s an’ McClellan has Tom
Coakley hooked on O. K. there’s nothin’
else on me thinker.
“No; 1 don’t allow me mind to become
anxious over Sulzer. The East Bide ain't
responsible for Sulzer. But, say! ne s a
1' aoh, ain’t he? If I ever gives meself
i in. in to get bothered about Sulzer it
would get to boa case of fits with me.
"It's only the other day 1 sees Sulzer,
with his right fin stuck Inside the upper
story of his Prince Albert, cornin’ down
(n me with a frown on his mug that the
p lice judges thruns you previous to givin’
you thirty days.
'There’s a mark back there,' he says
to me, ’says I looks like Henry Clay.’
I never gets me lamps on Clay,' I
replies, 'but it's a 4-to-l shot he’s stnng
ln' you. You looks more like a natural
gas deposit.’
‘ ’Oh, I don’t know,' he says, as lofty
a- the Brooklyn bridge, ’I takes a look
at Clays picture an', between you an’
me. he does make up for me. Not ex
actly, neither, for Clay's croaked; the
duffer's dead, see! But you study his
mug an’ make-up in the picture back of
id.- House and you’ll tumble in a min
ute, he's a ringer for mo.’
“An’ so’ 1 says, ‘you go skatin’
around with your duke stuck in your
bosom lookin’ like Clay. I don't want to
discourage you, Sulzer, but unless von
come off the perch an’ look more like
lock Croker an’ less like Clay your
name’s goin’ to be mud.’
"But as I retorts to you a bit back. I
ain’t got me indorsement on Sulzer, so
if he goes to political protest, they can’t
collect on Tammany Tim. So I leaves
hint still resemblin’ Henry Clav an'
sprints oft, right oblique, to see about
England.
“There's a back country guy puts it up
to me that the party I needs in me busi
ness is McCreary.
“ ‘He's loaded to the guards, Mack is,’
says this back country duck, ’loaded to
the guards with foreign affairs. In the
Ust congress he heels an’ handles the
foreign, committee.’
'Which is Mack?’ I says, for we’re
ptandin’ in the House chamber at the
time, an’ there’s throngs of ’em.
’That’s him,’ says the back country
cay, pointin’ over in the push, ‘That
dead, owley-lookin’ gent with the heavy
weight forehead, an’ the dish phiz; that’s
McCreary.'
“So I alle-man-lefts over to McCreary,
an’ greets him for all that'3 out.
“ 'Be you from Kentucky?’ says Mc-
Creary, as he gives me paw a dignified
shake.
“ ’No,’ I says, ‘l’m from New York,
which is the same thing; or was until
Roosevelt got in his graft an' pinched
down on our whisky.’.
“ ’Oh, yes,’ says McCreary, thrunin’ a
load of sympathy into his tone. ’I hears
"f them excise outrages; how they collars
innocent kids as they capers home with
the growler. It's very sad.’
’lt's a low-down deal,’ I says; ‘make
no mistake. But we repairs damages an’
trees Roosevelt in time. What 1 floats
down to you for now, however, is to learn
about this racket we pulls on with Eng
;nd. Do we make a match with her, an’
:or bow much? that’s the question.’
’There's no tellin’ yet,' says McCreary.
'We ain't signed no articles to fight, but
ic cotiations is goin’ on. But there's com
plications. Now there’s Salisbury letter,
which is on its way; an yet I understands
from Olney some marks has been an’
touted Cleveland into promisin’ to go to
'iiorry an’ shoot ducks. It’s very unfor
tunate an’ very discouragin'.’
"Salisbury?' I says; ’who's this Salis
bury?'
“ 'He’s the stiff,’ says McCreary, ‘who
mikes a front for England, same as Olney
does for us. If we sign to fight, it's Salis
bury an’ Olney, who has to arrange
•eights and purse, an’ generally fake up
the deal.'
" ‘Why don’t Grove stay an’ play his
string out?’ I says; ‘What does he want
to go bustin’ off after ducks when there-s
a i hance to foment some trouble for? You
ay Salisbury’s defi is on its way, an’
Cleveland organizin’ to chase off after
mallards. That ain't right. This sucaer
Salisbury 'll think it’s a sneak.

‘What’s the matter of me puttin' the

“ ’Who's this heeler over by the win

“ ’That's Oily,’ says Cleveland, also
whisperin’ ‘Y'ou know Oily?'
” ’Not Oily Teal.’ I says, ’l’ve got that

“ ’Not on your cholera preventive,’ says
Cleveland. ’That’s Oily, me Secretary of

about me foreign policy before I goes out
to do up the ducks.’
“ ’That's exactly me biz.’ I says, crowd
in’ for the openin’. ’I wants to stick in me
remonstrance ag’in your leavin' at this
time. This challenge from Salisbury ’ll
get here while you’re gone, won't It?’
“ ’What of ij?' says Cleveland.
“ ‘Why,’ I says; ‘this of it. Salisbury
will think you’ve laid down; think he’s
got you bluffed an’ on the run. Now. vou
ought to understand how we feels about
this. The East Side is on it for a fight big
as a sprinklin' cart. The East Side wants
a war. Y'ou know about how pop’lar Eng
land is on rtie East Side; about as pop'lar
as Parkhurat. Now;, that’s how tt stands.
The Eftst Bide Is roptln' for a war, an’ if
you chase off down the bay on a lighthouse
scow a time like this, they'll say you're
throwin’ Che game. You stay here an’ tell
Salisbury we’ll fight him in a ring or in a
room for maaT,’ marbrts, or chalk ; that’s
what you do. I;et Mte'dlldks go soak them
selves.’ *
“ 'But you- ain't onto me system, Tim,’
says Cleveland. ’l'm glad you broke in,
’cause it gives me a chance to explain.
In the first place, England's goin’ to
fight or take water. We'll fight England
in an ash barrel if needs be. But in or
der to line up me game proper I’ve got to
go 'way an' think. I can’t do me turn
right off the bat. I’ve got to think. So
that's why I’m goin’ duck huntin’. The
letter from Salisbury will come an’ lay
here. When I gets back I'll have me
business all straight ln me mind an’ will
know just what to do. I’ll open the mis
sive an’ I'll make a reply that'll be a
corker. Salisbury will have to fish, cut
bait or go ashore when I gets through
replyin’. But, as I observes, Tim, to do
these little tricks, I've got to think, ah'
I’ve got to get out of town, for there's no
such thing as thinkin’ here. So don’t go
to makin' objections. Tell the East Side
how it is, an’ show ’em there's no kick
cornin’ to ’em.’
“ ’That's all right.’ I says, ‘your apology
is full an’ familiar. I’m the last To get
in an’ interfere between a mark an' his
thinkin’. So if that's what you’re jump
in' out for I ain’t sayin' a word.'
“When I gets downstairs where Crow
ley is in the East Room, I finds him look
in’ at the picture of Washin’ton dead
sour.
’’ ’That old dude makes me tired,’ says
Crowley, pointin' to Washin’ton, ‘with
his supercilious front an' bicycle clothes
let's get out of here where we can spend
money. I’ve got dough to burn, an’ me
mood is incendiary.'
A PICTURE SELDOM SEEN.
Five TlinuNfinil Horses in n Hunch in
the State of Washington.
From the Anaconda Standard.
Five thousand horses in a single ( bunch,
rearing, running, snorting and shying,
urged on by two score picturesque Indian
and half-breed riders, sending into the
air a cloud of dust that envelopes and
partially conceals the vast band of cay
uses as the riders with swish of ropes,
with shouts and yells, urged on the surg
ing band of half wild creatures before
them, writes a correspondent from the
Jocko Indian agency. It is a nicture sel
dom seen now, and only possible ln the
unrestricted range of the reservation, a
picture, if seen, never to be forgotten.
The scene has an Incomparable setting.
In the background rise the rugged, ma
jestic peaks of the Mission range; from
their base stretches forward a dense,
black area of timber, and. In the fore
ground, the rolling prairie of the valley
of the Pen d’Oreille river. Overhead the
sky is clear, but above the mountains
snow clouds hover and the rocky peaks
are already silvered with the first white
covering of the year.
For five days these bronze riders have
scoured the northern range of the res
ervation, driving before them every horse
that was found in this long stretch of
country. They have ridden across the
rolling ground of the lower valley; they
have searched the canons; they have
penetrated the dense timber of the foot
hills; they have climbed to the open
parks on the mountain side. From Val
ley and canon and hillside they have
driven the half-wild harses, and have
gathered them on the banks of the Pend
d’Oreille river for the cutting out.
Five thousand tossing heads, 10,000 vi
cious eyes, 20,000 tramping hoofs! Almost
as far as the eye can reach are horses,
horses, horses. There are steeds of ev
ery color and of every size. Nearly all
of them are the mean, treacherous In
dian ponies, some of them shapely and
handsome, it is true, but in every eye is
a flash of wildness that betokens ill for
the man who attempts to tame the owner.
Here and there, in a mass of horses that
is being urged onward at a trot, is a
big, fine-looking animal that evidences
good breeding. But there are too many
of these. They are nearly all cayuses
of the cayusest order.
At one of the ranches on the banks of
the river there are three big. well-fenced
pastures, and here the cutting out will
he done. On the reservation there are
now about 15,000 horses, and of these it
Is estimated that fully 2,000 have no right
to the Indian range. This will do much
to improve the condition of the range,
and it is for this purpose that the big
round-up has been undertaken.
The band of horses now being driven
toward the extemporized corrals has been
gathered in the region north of the Pend
d’Oreille river. As soon as the cutting
out has been accomplished the riders
will cross the river, and will round up
the stock between that stream and Crow
creek, and there will be another separa
tion at the Allard ranch on Mud creek.
In addition to the removal of all alien
horses, Agent Carter has ordered that
all cayuse stallions may be disposed of
in order that there may be some im
provement in the grade of horses raised
on the reserve. Thus, the round-up will
accomplish a double purpose.
NEWSPAPERS IN TURKEY.
They Are Poor In Quality, Few In
Number and Cireulntion Limited.
From the Hartford Times.
The founder of the newspaper in Tur
key was a. FrptietunatV Alexander Blacque,
,Who in 1*25. published in'Smyrna le Bpec
tateur de I’prient,, and afterwards the
Courtier de Sniyrnt. In 1831 M. Blacque
went to Constantinople, where he edited
Le Moniteur Oootoman, an official paper
under auspices of the -Sultan Mahmud.
In 1834 appeared the first paper printed in
the Turkish under the special and ex
clusive direction of the historian of the
state, Essad-effendl. In 1880 there were
in Constantinople fourteen newspapers,
two Turkish, four French, four Italian,
one Greek, one Armenian, one Bulgarian
and one Servian. In 1878. before the last
Greek war. there were In Turkey over sixty
newsiiapers, twenty-one In French, six
teen In Turkish, twelve in new Greek, ten
Iyi Armenia*), on** hi German, tnd that uiui
was soon discontinued.
In 1880, notwithstanding war calami
ties and considerable editorial diminution,
the total number of newspapers in Tur
key increased to one hundred and tw'enty
one—in European Turkey, seventy-four.
In Asiatic Turkey forty-seven.
Among the newspapers printed In Tur
kish, the following are worthy of notice:

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 1895.
Armenians have four daily newspapers,
Arewelk, Dzer'.de, Szarkie, Medsumai-Et
kiar and Medzumai Akbar. Jews have
two papers, Telegrapho and Tiempo, pub
lished in corrupted Spanish, because the
majority of Jews living in the orient came
there in the middle ages from Spain and
talk a Spanish jargon.
Compared with European and Ameri
can newspapers, the Turkish journals are
very poor. This state of affairs is the
result of the rigorous Turkish press law.
The system of suspension is much ln
vogue. The press cannot speak about the
sultan except in terms of flattery. Tne
same rule applies to the army, finances,
administration, state religion and politics.
There remains only literature and art. Such
a state of the Turkish press shows us
why there are committed so many un
punished crimes, horrible abuses, and why
all progress is Impossible. As there Is
no public opinion the powerful can com
mit the most shameful abuses, the poor
become indifferent and apathetic, losing
entirely the feeling for right and Justice.
The Turkish administration can plunge
into basest corruption, because it is afraid
neither of punishment nor of public con
tempt.
One of the most ruinous burdens is the
stamp law. The owner of a newspaper
must pay for each copy of his paper two
para for a stamp. In fact, one must have
courage In order to be an editor of a
paper in Turkey. The profit is small, sor
rows are numerous.
LUCK IN MINING.
An Oltl I.endville Man Talks nf His
Mistakes and l.ost Opportunities.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Hill City. S. D„ Nov. 30.-An old Lead
vine mining man who passed through the
great silver carbonate boom Of 1878-81
and is now In the Black Hills, antici
pating a similar wave of mining invest
ment and wealth production, tells a
number of interesting stories of his e
perience in Colorado.
“The biggest mistake I ever made,”
said the genial white-haired raconteur,
“was in refusing to purchase a half in
terest in a little tlat-iron shaped piece
of ground lying near the famous Lit lie
Pittsburg, the great sand-carbonate de
posit, which first made Tabor rich and
famous. The claim was the merest frac
tion, its longest side measuring only 45
feet. When the owner offered me a half
interest for $125 I almost laughed at him.
I wasn’t up to fractions, you see—l want
ed a whole claim or nothing. The pros
pector was hard up and he finally sold
out to Tabor lor next to nothing. The
three-day senator from Colorado got
8135,000 out of this little patch of sand
and gravel. Tiiat man Tabor never took
hold of anything in Leadviile that did
not pay. If I had bought the ground
the chances are ten to one that I should
never have found the big chamber of rich
carbonates it contained, because the shaft
sunk in prospecting would have been kept
closely timbered. As it was. the careless
ness of one of the men led to the dis
covery. The drift under this little tri
angle. as in most of the claims, was made
up of gravel, clay and talc. This talc
rock would stand in the walls of a shaft
for several feet without timbering if
carefully handled. Well, when the min
ers had reached a depth of about forty
feet and had left the walls to stand
or fall in for ten or twelve feet, one of
the party, while clearing up the work
for timbering, stuck his pick too vig
orously Into one side of the shaft and'
a great slab of talc loosened by mois
ture, slid down with a thud, revealing
one of the richest deposits of carbonates
ever discovered about Leadviile. If this
chance stroke had not shown the ore it’s
more than probable that Tabor would
have-sunk a couple of hundred feet with
out finding anything. In the ordinary
affairs of life luck is a myth, biit in
mining It often proves a positive factor.
“That was not my only mischance at
Leadviile. I did some geographical min
ing when I first went there in the fall of
1878. Ritchie had taken Tabor's quarter
of beef, bacon, flour and groceries—Tabor
kept a little grocery then and grub-staked
miners. He had gone up into the hills
some months before. He found the Pitts
burg and I was one of the early arrivals,
while the boom was gaining Impetus. Lit
tle was known of the nature of the for
mation, its geology was problematic then,
though the glacial deposit theory has
since then been generally accepted. I
reasoned that a' boat-shaped piece of
ground surrounded by such rich claims as
the Pittsburg. Chrysolite, Vulture and
other producers ought to catch the beds
of argentiferous sand somewhere, and so
bought an interest in undeveloped ground
purely because of its location. The ven
ture proved disastrous. I sunk shafts on
all parts of the ground, one to a depth of
280 feet, without securing more than prom
ising float. Three beds of what might be
termed silver placer, were capped with
iron carbonates; they lay just below the
rim rock on the terraces of California
Gulch, and this iron rock was regarded
as an almost certain indication. One
day we came upon some broken masses
of this capping-float and began to feel
rich. We laughed at an offer of $50,00,
considered it in the nature of an insult.
The next day we were through the float
and never saw a sign of it again. Those
alternations of hope and despondency, a
normal state of mind in speculative min
ing. are, I suppose, responsible for the
abundance of my gray hairs.
“The most beaten, disgusted and disap
pointed lot of people ever in Colorado
were, I believe, the partners in the ’Law’
property, when the Levi A. Leiter inter
est secured possession of the mine and
gathered up something like $100,00) worth
of rich carbonates, which we had mined
and ready to haul to the smelter. It was
the question of the right to follow a de
posit across side lines.
“Judge Miller had decided that owners
must confine their underground workings
to the side lines of their claims In a test
case arising on the Pittsburg Hill. The
law now recognizes the right of the dis
coverer of a lode to follow it into adjoining
ground, but the decisions were then con
flicting. The famous iron silver ground
Joined the side lines of the Law, our prop
erty. The Iron Silver people had pushed
their drift until it broke into the workings
upon our ground. They were taking out
thousands daily and we knew they would
claim the right to follow their lead. We
were not sure that the decision made
would protect our side lines, as the forma
tion was not a ’blanket’ or flat deposit,
and so prepared for the worst.
“Only the richest rock was mined for sev
eral days and we had barricaded the drift
conecting the two porperties. A big Irish
man with a rifle was stationed to guard
the approach and warn off intrduers. When
everything was ready, we arranged to
remove the ore at night to avoid the pos
sibilty of an Injunction. On the night chos
en we reached the shaft quietly men and
owners were lowered into the workings
and everything looked favorable for the
enterprise. But we were not permitted to
i>ob our own mine and thus save the rich
ore. Our Irish Horatius had abandoned
his bridge. The barricade was down, the
ore gone and the drift In the possession of
Iron Silver forces. We were betrayed,
beaten and utterly cast down. We made
no useless demonstration, but retired as
quietly as we had come. The feHow who
sold us out was never seen in Leadviile
again, and I have always admired his good
judgment In deciding upon an immediate
change of residence.’’

effects seem not yet to have dawned on
the minds of some people, even here in

The Christmas Girl.
She was born on Christmas morning, ex
actly twenty years ago;
Of course Bt. Nicholas kissed her; the old
Saint is never slow;
And on every birth-morn since then, just
as regular as his round,
Somewhere on this dainty maiden, the
Old Chap's gift is found.
First 'twas toeth. then ’twas dimples,
then 'twas gibberish and talk;
Then a wobbly-toddly sort of creep and
very straddle walk:
Then blushes came, and beauty, with a
wealth of wavy hair;
Then eyes that trapped a fellow s heart,
and lips that said "Beware.”
A year ago the Old Saint left a bundle
la belled “Love."
It was tied around with heart-strings,
and Its seal looked like a dove.
She opened It and tasted It. We Joined
ln merry laugh;
But while she was not looking, I—l at*
the oihtr half.
Ever since (hat happy morning, we have
had a lovely time:
llhe beg* my half, while I beg tier's: It'g
realty quite sublime.
But B'* settled, that tilts Christmas, 2
shall tak* her, gift and alt;
And lit. Nuk's to give me to her 1 U tto
