From the Washington Post. • 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. ‘Your remarks is excessively on the 1 says McCreary. ‘I wishes some guy "itli a pull would go remonstrate with the President.’ ‘What’s the matter of me puttin' the kybosh on this duck deal,’ I says. ‘I knows '■rove like a gambler does an ace.

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.

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: Baudet.

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.’’ j Office of J. F. Greer, County Judge.

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 ready at hi# nail. ►-Charles MeHvane AUCTION SALES.
