Another story Mr. Johnson tells. is, vouched for, he says, by every apprecia- tive Scotsman who tells it and so it mus true.

The story told by Wise would have the effect of ex- onerating Meredith from the charge of in- competency or collusion if the officials at Washington were not advised by the press to the contrary, | Another of "the peculiar mistakes of Meredith was his neglect and refusal to compel Chinese immigrants to sign their names to the written statements made by them to the officers of the Bureau. This afforded no opportunity to the coolie to say when confronted with his statement rather vulgar, but you repeat it two or| three times by way of a scientific test and then it seems witty. By this time you have caught the complaint and have acquired an irrepressible propen- sity for saying it yourself.
