Ballinger’s “Pitiful Exhibition.” | From the New Pork Evening Post (Indepen- Gent) The spectacle of a member of the| President’s Cabinet playing the part | FOR SALE: of a shuffling and disingenuous wit- ness, having the truth dragged out of him by slow degrees after the fashion a witness in some case of petty We have a number of sets of good second-hand Team harness, and | also both single and double ‘bug- | gy harness. ai = + a o—aA eo i larceny, is one that the people of the] United States cannot contemplate with complacency; but if there is mortification in the spectacle, wheth- er for himself or for the nation, he has but himself to blame for it. Nor is it only in the interest of the truth of history that the fact should be known. It bears strongly on the question directly at issue concerning the conduct of the Interior Depart- ment. From the very beginning of the Pinchot-Ballinger controversy, that question has borne two distinct aspects. There has been the ques- tion whether Pinchot and Glavis had substantiated the charges they brought forward, and there has been the broader question whether Bal- linger has been conducting the affairs of his department in the spirit in which they must be conducted if the rights of the American people, in the present and in future generations, are to be faithfully conserved. And upon this second question it would be a mere affectation of impartiality, a mere pretense of judicial poise, to discard such presumptive evidence as is furnished by the personal conduct of the man under investigation. A man who, on the witness stand, is capable of making a pitiful exhibi- tion of shuffling, evasion and un- truthfulness, may conceivably be an examplar of uprightness, courage, and firmness in the discharge of his official duties; but the presumption is fearfully the other way.

Pac, Railway Company has a large number of men at work both at the old zinc plant and on the grade across the bottoms, the sole object in view being to fortify against the usual June flood, which, how- ever, all hope will fail to show up. Train load after train load of cin- ders are loaded at the smelters and hauled out and dumped along the track through the bottoms. The first work is to build up a foot or so high- er than the ties on each side with rip-rap, then the cinders are packed in around the ties till a-level is reached. It is also rumored that the compa- ny expects to build a new suspension bridge across the drainage canal as soon as possible after the present flood waters subside. son-last week, She accompanied her grandmother, Mrs. Neafus, to Elk- hart for a visit with relatives.

Of course it's all for the best so far as I'm concerned, but—I wonder! Lillan—What! You don't tell me Bob is-really engaged to Edith! Well, what do you think of that! It's most remarkable how men do these weird things when they are reduced to des- peration, isn't it? Poor Bob! Of course Edith is a very nice girl—so capable and domestic and all that— but, my dear, did you ever see a girl 80 dowdy, and with so little style? 1 am sure Mrs, Noah did her hair up in precisely that same way in the days of the ark. Bob always did love pret: ty things—that’s one reason he hung around me so much. Some men never notice a new gown or a smart hat, but he always does. No, I’m awfully fond of Bob, but mercy!
