MAYOR BOYII evidently did not consult
Dr. Miller when ho wrote that letter to
Charles Francis Adams.
NEBRASKA , will not transfer its exhibit
from Now Orleans to the St. Louis expo-
position owing to a lack of funds.
MAYOR BOYU'S vote of the pound ordi
nance has led many eastern papers to be-
lllve that Omaha is yet a village and a
cow-pasture.
DR. MILLER believes in free trade for
railroads , and ho therefore opposes pro
tection to the people who ate compelled
to traverse their tracks at dangerous
crossings.
THE son of Gen. Rugglas has boon ap
pointed by the president as one of the
four West Point cadets at largo. This Is
pleasant news to the many friend of Gen.
Rugples' family in this city.
TUB early closing movement during
BUaimer is likely to become general
among the merchants of this city. A
largo number of business men In certain
lines of trndo now clojo their stores at 7
p. m. This is a stop in the right direc
tion , and it will bo appreciated by the
employes. The dealers will lose nothing
by early closing aa thera la hardly any
trading after 7 o'clock in the evening.
"WE take it that Mayor Vaughon , of
Council Bluffis , intends to withdraw from
the gubernational race in Iowa , as ho
has applied for the office of superintend-
ant of police of the District of Columbia.
His competitors for the governorship will
heave a sigh of relief if the president
ohonld take him out of Iowa and plant
him In Washington , but wo don't BOO
how the people of Council Bluffs can
spare him.
MAYOR BOYD is to be commended for
hla back-bono in coming out flat-footed
In f ivor of Omaha as against the en
croachments and arrogant demands of
the Union Paclfio and the railroads gen
erally. If the olty council will stand
firm and sustain the mayor's position
with regard to our public thoroughfares ,
Mr. Adams will soon reach the conclusion
that the city is in a condition to enforce
its rights to safe railway crwslngs , and
proper depot accommodations.
IT la reported that General Sheridan
has issued an order to Gen. Miles , who
succeeds Gen. Augur In the command of
the department of the south , to disarm
the Cheyenne Indiana In the Indian ter
ritory. This is the most practical way of
Bottling the expected trouble in thai
section , and It is to bo hoped thai
all the Indians of this country wl !
bo disarmed. As they now depend upo
gorornment rations for subsistence , an
not upon game , they have no further us
for arms.
WHY ore the water and gas compinte
allowed to cut trenches In the streets
few days before they are to bo paved
"Why was not this work done raonthi
ngo ? The proposition to pave uppo
Ptroam street was pending during tin
winter , and the water and gas companlo
know that ( ha street would bo paved I :
the spring or summer. Why did the
not , like the street car company , do tholi
work months ago ? They know that tin
heat-packed trenches will settle afte
heavy rains , and unices the pavement i
delayed until next year it is bound to sin
hero and there. Furthermore , th
trench-digging at this tlmo actually delays
lays the paving.
THE granite blocks -with which uppe
Parnam street is to ho paved should b
thoroughly overhauled. At least ono
third of the blocks are too largo , Irregu
lar , and rough for any pavoncont. Th
propery-ownora ! on that street had a
tight to expect the very best of Sioux
Falls pavement , but it now looks as .1 ;
they would have the most inferior pave
ment In tbo city. Their petition called
for granite blocks laid on broken stone
and land , with the joints filled in witli
asphaltum. It was snppoiod , of course ,
that they would got what they asked for
and what ihey were willing to pay for
Their specific request lies not only
bion ignored so far as the asphal
joint Is concerned , but the board
of public works la diipoted to
allow the contractors the privilege of
dumping in all the rofuio rock from Sioux
Piillf , If this is done as a matter of
economy the property owners do not thank
the bcatd for its cfliclousness. They
wanted the belt pavement , regardless of
coit. They could better dispense with
the broken rock foundatloa than to have
a rough curhco of largo and irregular
blocks. They wanted a noiseless stone
pivemeur , and now theyaro going to have
the noisiest pavement in the city.
THE action of the board of education
In repealing the rule that required all
principals to have first grade certificates
has caused much comment and specula
tion. "What is the object of the board in
repealing this rule ? "Why should any
teacher bo employed aa principal who
cannot procure a first-grade certificate ?
The examination , as wo are assured , Is
not a hard ono , and any teacher who can.
not obtain a certificate of the first grade
has no right to expect employment as
principal in our public schools. The nat
ural inference is that the rule was re
pealed for the purpose of opening the
door for second-grade teachers who liavo
"iDflooenco" and persist In forcing themselves -
solves as principals upon our school sys
tem at high salaries , to which , by rights ,
they are not entitled , Omaha Is now
paying such high salaries to her teachers
that there can bo no excuse for
mediocrity. If any favorite teacher
wants to bo placed in charge of n school ,
lot him or her qualify for the position.
If teachers do not have ambition and en
ergy enough to thoroughly master the
blanches of Instruction , they should be
content to remain in subordinate posi
tions. If wo have misconstrued the
action of the boaid wo would like to be
corrected. The patrons of one public
tcnools deslro to know why the bars have
boon let down at the very time when the
salaries were raised , and when they nat
urally expected that the standard of ex
cellence would bo raised correspondingly.
Merit and competency cannot bo set
asldo for favoritism without seriously im
pairing the efficiency of the schools.
TUB Herald assails City Attorney
Conncll for his opinion concerning the
viaducts because Mr. Connell caw fit tc
use the expression "extending the olive
branch to 1ho railroad companies. " II
the Herald can attack Mr. Council's
opinion on that or any other account ,
what has It to say about Mr. Boyd'a let
ter to Charles Francis Adams , jr. ? Mr.
Boyd Is decidedly moro severe in hi :
strictures , and moro emphatic ? with re
gard to the systematic violations
of contract. Mr. Connell elmplj
quotes law and cites diclslouB ol
the supreme court of Kansas tc
show that cities have ample power tc
compel railway companies to protect the
public against dangerous crossings. II
Dr. Mlllor thinks that the city attorney
has gone out of his way to attack the
railroads , ho will have to tako.Mr. Boyd
in hand now and administer to him a se-
verorebnko. In reply to Mr. Adams'threat ,
that under certain circumstances , the
Union Pacific would have to go elsewhere
across the river with its business ,
Bojd says : "For years tuts threat has
retarded our growth , and I feel confident
that if the Union Pacific railway had , as
it should have done , irreversibly fixed
the transfer of passongoro and freight at
Omaha , or else have taken it to the other
aide of the river , as it has periodically
threatened to do no matter which
there would have been 100,000 people
hero to-day instead of 60,000. "
THE Iowa State Leader still lives ,
notwithstanding a statement , published
in the BEE and taken from the Daven
port Democrat , that it had been sus
pended by the sheriff. The Leader is a
good paper , and deserves a liberal patron
age from the people of Ds Molnes and
Iowa , without regard to politics , It ap
pears that two millionaire railroad dem
ocrats had an unmatnred claim against the
Leader , and caused the paper temporary
trouble , but Mr. Garrety , the plucky
publisher , has been enabled to free himself -
self from such baneful Influence. Ho
now feels confident that It will bo a source
of satisfaction for many men to patronize
the Leader who heretofore would not
touch It. It la of course a great relief
for the publisher to know that his paper
is no longer uudor any obligation to rail
way bosses and schomera.
Ii is about tlmo for the United States
to put up the sign , "No moro territory
wanted. " No sooner ia ono annexation
scheme disposed of than another ono is
proposed. Not long ago it was stated
that Cuba was In the market , and that
Spain wanted to sell it to this country ,
Spain finally denied that GUDA was for
sale. Next It was announced that King
Kalakanabad sent sent a special aent to
( ho United State ] to clfcr the Sandwich
Islands at a bargain. And now comes
the rumor that Mexico dojlres to unload
slxoihernorthernstatcaupouthlscounlry ,
as aho Is hard up and wants some hard
cash. There Is tome sense In snch a
proposition , but wo question whether it
would bo seriously entertained even if it
were made. Our government has all the
territory that It can conveniently handle ,
IT would seem that it is very unseasonable
enable to call upon republican clerks In
the departments at Washington for con
tribotlons to any state campaign , but i
number of Ohio republicans are now ii
Washington for the purpose of making a
canvass of the Ohio voters in the govern
ment tervico to determine how much
money these clerks may bo relied npon to
lonato for the campaign In that state
Wo venture to say thai there will bo a
loavier shrinkage in thoio contributions
: han there Is in the winter wheat crop ,
they are not very liable to violate the

o the charge of offensive partisanship
ait at this juncture.
A LOCAL letter addressed to "Mr. Byrd
inittb , sornor Fifth and Morgan stroetr ,
Famous , ' City , " was dropped in the St.
.ouls postoilico , and was aout to Kansai
'Ity. ' The postmaster mistook the name
f a clothing house , "Famous , City , " for
[ antai City , and accordingly sent it to
mt famous town. The St. Louis -ftc-
ulUcan , which lamovingcarthaadeaitb
: d the administration for ibe removal of
Postmistcr Welli , thinks this will prove
the last nail in hii political coffin.
CAPTAIN SAM HERMAN , who ii living In
hopes of securing the internal revenue
collootorahlp , Is reported by a Washing
ton correspondent to have the "longest
petition , signed by half the people of
Omaha. " That document must there
fore bo signed by about thirty thousand
persons. That ought to settle it , but It
is not always that the longest petition
knocks the political persimmons.
Tnn appointment of Dr , Julius Gorth
to the position of state veterinarian Is
very satisfactory to the Lincoln Journal.
That Is about the only suspicions clronm
stance connected with the appointment ,
so far aa wo know. But what Is satisfac
tory to the Journal , Is not always to the
Interest of the people.
THE Pall Mall Gazette has proven
pretty conclusively that the "batter
classes" of London are really the worst
in the kingdom. It is to bo hoped that
its exposure of the grots vices ofthe
"bettor classes" will result in a much
needed moral reform , and the Indications
now are that It will.
THE moro senators they send to Okla
homa the moro evident It becomes that
the persecuted cattle > klngs are right and
the agprcsslvo trespassing homesteaders
are wrong. It is so easy for a cattle-
king to royally entertain a senator and
make him feel perfectly at homo on a
ranch. _
the pretext of patronizing homo
industry the wild-cat Insurance agents
are having a big harvest in this state.
Nebraska Is liable to have moro trouble
with wild-cat Insurance than aho had ton
years ago with grasshoppers.
IT would have been strange indeed had
the name of the Prince of Wales escaped
connection with the hugo London tcan-
dal. It is a very cold day when ho is not
mixed up In some such nasty business.
THE St. Louis Republican calculates
that the redaction in postage causes a
loss in postal revenue at the St. Louis
office of over $400 per week , or an annual
IOBJ of over § 20,000 par year.
OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.
The sensation of the week in the Brit
ish metropolis Is the great scandal created
by the exposure of the vlco and licen
tiousness of the nobility of Great Britain.
While these revelations have within
themselves no political significance they
are likely to produce Impressions upon
the masses of the English people which
in the end may result In the downfall of
the aristocracy aa a ruling class. With
the extended franchise the power of the
aristocracy has been materially weakened
and the leveling process has doubtless
been accelerated by the recent exposures.
The revelations made by the Pall Mall
Gatctle will open the eyes of the British
nation to the fact that , socially , the
English aristocracy and nobility are the
most potent agencies for ovll that could bo
employed. The idleness which Is almost
inseparable from vast hereditary wealth
predisposes them to vicious amusements ,
and the wealth gives them means of grat
ifying their ovll tastes , and the result is
the entire body IB morally rotten to the
core. From all that can bo seen of them
at this distance , the English nobility to
day bear a very striking resemblance to
the French aristocracy of the years im
mediately preceding the revolution thai
startled the world. It might be well fo
English aristocrats to take warning b ;
that page of history.
The statement of th'o Marquis of Sa
labury concerning the foreign policy c
the British government does not dliTo
much from the statements recently madi
by his predecessor In the premiership
Mr. Gladstone was resolved on protect
ing British Interests , if his words may b
believed , and ho frequently said as muc"
In a general way ai Salisbury has now
said. The difference has been that i
Gladstone's case the English Jingoei
came to believe that while he talked on
way ho acted another , and that his fond
ness for retreating from exposed polnti
was fatal to anything like a vigorous proa
ocullon of the policy which ho outlined ,
After all the "tall talk" about a viporou
foreign policy , Lord Salisbury seems u
anxious ai was Mr. Gladstone to dimin
ish the number and Importance of th
responsibilities by which the empire , a
Mr. Gladstone says , "is overweighted.
Ho is going to settle the Afghan difficult.
on just the lines agreed to by Lord Gran
vllle , although when bo came Into oflici
ho found that settlement utlll in an unfiti
( shed state , with abundance of opening
for disagreement , if ho had wanted them
It was ono of the last acts of the liberal
to throw the negotiations into on oh
shape as would leave with Lord Salisbury
the responsibility of going on with them
or making froah demands. Ho has done
nothing but go on on the lines laid down
by his predecessor in office.
The truth is that any Englishman c
average good sonsa when called to powoi
begins to feel tbat John Bull haa tot
many outstanding bills , and that they
have a trick of coming in for payment by
batches. The wont of all Is tbo Irish
bill , which is put forward all the time ,
and. makes the rest mcro intolerable !
Then on the continent England haa not a
single friend , except the mercenary house
of Savoy , which would tarn upon her to
morrow If Blsmirok would offer U the
chance to take Tunis without war. From
1815 until the Crimean war England hold
\ high place In European politics. Even
that war did not deprive her of it , al
though It showed that her practical capac
ity had been much overrated. The
; rfat blow to her prestige came In
1804 , when she first onconaged
Danmark to resist Austria and Prussia ,
md then loft her in the lurch when war
: am9 of It. Oloso upon this came the
raaty of Woshlngtou , showing to how
nuch eating of humble pie she would
londoscend for the sake of au'atsurod
> oaco with a country over whoio dismom-
laments she was exulting but a few
ftarj before. The last blow was when
tussla in 1870 toro up the treaty of Parii
nd dared England to forbid her to send
itr ships into the Black sea. Every
ountry in Europe at once begin to resent
bn tone England had taken in tbo 1810
854 period , and the reaction against her
> ad In economic matters sent in. Now
iho stands Isolated as shn has not been
slnco the American revolution , and at
every point her statesmen find her rela
tions to neighboring nations liable to un
friendly friction. So oven Lord Salis
bury has to move with oautlon and mook-
ncs , and-to ask Turkey to take Egypl
off his hands.
The Ruis'an nrcss Is anxious for a dis
avowal by the British premier and secre
tary of state for India of the hard things
recently said about Russia by the Marquis
of Salisbury and Lord Randolph Churchill ,
and the Russian foreign office la said to
bo expecting a spontaneous explanation
cf the same. This explanation , if given
at all , will undoubtedly bo couched In
the most general of poislblo terms. Mr.
Gladstone's apology to Austria , which is
probably taken as a precedent , is ono
only superficially. Mr. Gladstono'a
disagreeable references to Austria
were much moro nearly gra
tuitous than those of which Russia
now complains. What Lord Salisbury
said was said under the excitement of a
wholly different state of aiUIrs. England
and Russia were on the very verge of
hostilities , and as the marquis occupied
no official position , ho was certainly priv
ileged to deal with the extraordinary sit
uation ns ho saw fit. To hold him to a
strict account now for such utterances
of official amenity , which should
bo needless , unless something oc
curs In the future to render them
pertinent , would bo to glvo very just
provocation to England. If the raid from
Turkestan Into Afghanistan is really in
behalf of Ayonb Khan , it is , on the con
trary , Russia that might moro propar'y '
bo called on for explanations ; ; and if
Lord Duffarin , who has already been
called on for the fullest particulars of it ,
forwards any Information ascribing the
attack to the familiar "Russian intrigue , "
she most certainly will bo. It is too
soon yet to guesi whether the Incident
would , In that , turn out a blessing or a
misfortune for the now government.
Reports about what Is going on In iho
vicinity of the Afghan frontier are con
tradictory. From St. Petersburg wo
learn that the Afghans are gathering in
force on the Mnrgbab apparently with
the Intention of attacking the Russians
who whipped them at Pul-i-Khistj. A
London paper , whoso Information concerning -
corning affairs In India and Afghanistan
has been fresh and trustworthy , declares
that the Ameer wants moro British
gold , and that until ho gets it his
attitude will bo uncertain. More
over , It is assorted that the people
and local rulers In Northern Afghanistan
are leaning toward Russia. The news
from Persia that the Russians are mass
ing troops at Askabad and sending fresh
troops dally from the Caspian to the
frontier confirms previous reports and Is
undoubtedly trustworthy. It will ba
very easy for Russia to precipitate a
quarrel at any time with Afghanistan or
Persia. In tbo last few weeks she has
extended her line of attack , and if eho
should decide to move southward she
would not now bo restricted to one path.
And yet again Mr. Bradlaugh has ' 'ad
vanced to the table" for the purpose of
taking the oath and been excluded from
the house of commons. The now leader
of the commons , Sir Michael * Hicks-
Beach , nude what may be called the
usual motion of exclusion and the noted
radical retired. The tlmo will come when
these solemn differences over the modes
of formal pledges of faithfulness to duty
and country on tbo parb of the members
of parliament will seem child's play.
Bradlaugh has retreated from his original
position of affirmation only , and a ro
ll action IB being cast upon a largo con-
stltuoncy , which , for years has gone un-
represented or to use the vlgorou
words of Mr. Gladstone , "tho preson
parliament throughout has grievous !
wronged the electorate of Northampton.
Lettore from the mahdi have been re
celved In Cairo , m wbinh ho says ho
certainly coming to that place befori
long , and ho has Issued twelve command
ments In anticipation of his arrival. Th
principal ono is the killing of all infidel
unless they turn Mussulman and pa ;
taxes. The press also is to ba aup
pressed , with the exception of ono news
paper which ho will edit himself proba
bly as striking a testimonial to the powe
of the press as was over uttered. Bli
paper will doubtless be what wo call her
"a religions weekly , " but will certain ! ,
have neltner a "secular department" no ;
a "publisher's department. " It will b
wholly religions and will handle th
sceptics without gloves.
Everything points to the likelihood o
another revolution In Mexico. Reporti
that have been coming northward from
tlmo to time indicate that there is at las
a rupture of tlo delightful , harinonlon
relations that have existed for so many
rears between Porfirlo Diaz and Manue
Gonzalee. With the terrible financla1
pressure the arrangement by which the ;
bavo passed to each other the control of
the Mexican treasury has come nppar
ontly to an end , and with this ruptun
there are signs that foul weather wil
soon succeed the long polltlcil calm
A short time ego the Mexi
can congress was startled by th
charge of president Diaz , through hi
minister of finance , that Gonzales wa
guilty of official peculation and robbery ,
At the same tlmo a strong suspicion prevails
vails in Mexico that Diaz is no botto :
than hla colleague In the point of iinan
clal integcity , Between the pair it Ii
certain tbat the treasury of Mexico uu
been brought to utter bankruptcy , and si
great is the financial disorder that thi
public revenues have been put in pawn
[ or months to como In order to obtain
means to carry on the government. Th
Mexican congress has been prorogued by
President Ditz without making formal no
uuatlonagalnstGonzaloe , In the fear prob
ibly , that ho would organize a revolution
igalnst the government or blab concern-
ng the financial arrangements of the two
ihleftalns. By this quarrel the political
lituatlon In Mexico has become extreme-
y ombarruslnp , and there Is imminent
langer that the peace will be broken ,
Df the term of President Diaz about tire
reata remain and if hla rupture with
xonzales bo sincere ho may not be per-
nlttod to peacefully transmit the govern-
aent to a regularly elected successor. As
ho neighbors of Mexico , with whom our
lolitical and commercial relations are
ecomlnc ; more and moro important , the
eoplo cf this country cannot afford tore-
ard the coming events in that country
ith indifference.
Sir John Macdonald has won his long
Diitost over the franchise bill In the
fltninlon parliament , The opposition
lade a strong fight against the measure
oui the first , but the government had a
irgo and trustworthy majority , and It
'as all along evidently only a question of
3.0 when it would carry Its point. The
ill gives the right to vote t- > Indian in
1 tbo provinces , except British Oolara-
ia and tbo northwest territories ,
id as roost of them llvo on
iserver , makes them merely tbo tools
of agents appointed by the government
Still moro objectionable Ii the creation
of class of " barristers"
a "revising to pre
pare the voters' lists , who are given al
most tyrannical powers , which they may
bo trusted to use for the benefit of the
authorities by whom they are appointed.
The property qualification In some of the
provinces is increased , and there am oth
er provisions Intended to weaken the
opposition party. The final vote wat
token lata on Friday night ,
or rather early on Saturday
morning , and after it was announced ,
Sir Richard Oartwright , loidor of the
opopsltion , quietly remarked , "It Is the
Fourth of July a fit day on which to
disfranchise your own countrymen. "
The fact that two of the conservative
members voted with the opposition in the
negative is only a hint of the populat
feeling against the measure , and Sir
John may llvo to tee the day when ho
will regret his victory.
The private reports touching the health
of the Emperor William Indicate his
early decease. Ho Is gradually sinking ,
and the opinion of these conversant with
his condition Is that ho will hold out but
a few days longer. With his disease and
the accession of the Prince Imperial anew
now policy Is likely to bo Inaugurated. It
Is stated that the prospect In this direc
tion is what led Lord Salisbury to finally
consent to take office. It Is proposed ,
according to these rumors , lo form an
Anglo-Gorman alliance , In which Eng
land will have Gorman support against
the Russians , the French and all others.
The attempts to arrange a treaty with
the United States which would glvo Ja
maica an outlet for her products having
been defeated by the selfishness of En
gland , that unfortunate island is obliged
to turn once moro to Canada , and he a
sent commitalonors to Ottawa to negotiate
for some kind of reciprocity arrange
ment , From their account it appears
that the GOCOOOCO , inhabitants of Ja
maica derive their usual supply of the
most necessary articles Hour , Indian
meal , oil , timber , butter , choose , otc.
from the United States. But all these
imports are taxed pretty heavily by the
Jamaican tariff , and If the duty wora re
moved from the Canadian article of the
same kind , there might arise a very 10-
spoctablo commerce.

Mrs. James Morris , wife of lleglotor
Morris , of the Valentino land oflice , ar
rived In Omaha Thursday night , nnd
yeatcrdny morning cillcd at this ollico , In
company with Mr. Sparks , a merchant ,
banker , dealer In mixed goods nnd dry
Rrocotica at Valentino , to make a most
omphittlo dlsslalmcr with regard to the
alleged assault on her by her husband.
Mrs. Morris pronounces the report con
cerning her douiestio trouble as
being a malicious story , gotten -
ton up by political and personal
enemies of her husband. While there is
just enough coloring to make It plausa-
bio , the circumstances ns related by Mrs ,
Morris warrant the canolntlon that her
hmlnnd has been grossly slandered.
Mr. Sparks corroborated Mrs. Morris'
story In so far as his personal knowledge
of the dlfliculty extended , and vouched
for the reliability cf her doninl. Airs.
Morris produced n number of letters from
prominent business poiplo at Valontluo
to verify the truthfulness of her own re
port of the affair. The following letter
from J. Wesley Tnokor , rocolvtr of the
Valentino land oflica , to ox-Senator
Siundora , gives hla voasion of the
trouble :
VALENTINE , Nob. , July 7. My do r
governor : In the BEE of the Gth lust. ,
I notlco a lengthy article pnroprting to
glvo a detailed statcinont of reported
trouble between our filond Morris 'and
W fo. These ore matters in which I
never meddle , directly nor indirectly , nor
would I do so now only for the reason
that I have known the friendly relation
existing between yourself and the honor
able register , and knowing that the
BEE'S article would bo embarrassing
in the absence of any oxpllnatlon ,
I therefore ask you as a matter of aim-
pi o jnstlca to allow brlof statement of
facts. Some ton days ago wo received
orders from the honorable commissioner
for the employment of throe clerks for
the use of this office. On consnlatton ba-
twoen the honorable register and myself ,
it was determined that George Fisher
should bo retained and a man by the
name of Histon. from Alnsworth should
also bn employed. Pending this agree
ment M . Morris did come to the offica
and objost to Histon's employment. Mr.
Morris was present during the most of the
conversation with Mrs. M. and at no
tlmo did ho show any signs of anger or In
any way wai ho impcllto or disrespectful
to Mrs. Morris. On the next morning Mr
Morris suggested that woabandontho idea
of the employment of Hoatonand wo did.
This was all of that. Shortly after this ,
on the s&mo morning , Mrs. M. b lng
down in town , stopped In at the cilice ,
and appeared in a perfect good humor.
I saw her face and I did not ; observe any
cute , or bruises , or black eyes. Indeed ,
if she bad been beaten and bruised as
the BEE'S art id 3 would have you believe ,
she could not have walked so briskly
and been ohoorful as ehe was the morning
after it is said the trouble took
place. The truth is the striking
and beating is a baeo fabri
cation. As to excitement , talked of in
the BEE It is not so. The register has
some- enemies who have been doing all
In their power to do him all the injury
possible , and in order to do this did not
hesitate to make any statement , regard
less of truth. As to the charge that
Morris' Intimacy with o'lier ' women has
"almost driven Mrs. M. distracted , " I
can only say that I almost dally see Mr.
and MM. Morris together , with apparent
best of relations existing between them
And , senator , allow me to say in all
candor , that for two years I have been
intimately associated with the register ,
and in a position to know , and the accu
sation that ho Is so desperate in hi3 in
timacy with other women la untrno.
I have written you this statement , as a
natter of simple justice and the facts as
set forth I know to bo true , and can bo
proven. The better class of citizens , here
tro indignant of the course taken by the
enemies of the Register , and I can as-
mro you that among the better class of
; ltzons ! , there la neither , excitement , or
sredlt given to the libellous and slander-
ma reports thus circulated.
Very truly ,
J.VESLEY TUOKUR.
[ Note by the Elitor ] Inasmuch as
ho original report , as published by the
BEE , emanated from Mr. Tucker , and
ras by him reported to the parlies at
Valentino who arc our informants , Mr.
L'uckor may now explain to whoovur
b msy concern whether ho lied in the
irat place or In telling the trnth now.
