I get my information from brother scribes, who were in attendance. I have had it, in substantially identical form, from more than half a dozen differ ent sources. They are all almost ex actly in agreement to leave any doubt as to their joint accounts' accuracy. In fact, perhaps the best of all methods of keeping communicably posted concerning the varying cur rents of official opinion in Washing ton is at reliable second hand.
