Mr.. Allen Explains.

Mr.. s. NJ. Allen, the witty young Missis-
sippi congressman, was confronted day or
two ago with a statement published in a re-
publican newspaper that a patent medicine
business was being conducted under
his frank. OF course nobody believed
that Mr.. Allen was party to
this fraud upon the Postoffice Depart
ment, but the fact that patent medicine
concern can distribute thousands of its adj
vertising circulars without expense to itself
by simply writing the name of a congress-
man on the envelope enclosing them. calls
attention to the ease with which CON
CHEESEMAN'S frank can be used by those who
have no authority to do so.
The only person using Mr. Aliens frank,
beside himself. is his clerk, and the forged
signature on the patent medicine circulars
resembles the handwriting of this clerk.
There is no reason to think however, that
the clerk has been untrue to the trust re-
posed in him. Whoever forged Mr.. Aliens
signature initiated the clerks handwriting
1t is impossible for the postoffice authori-
ties to determine whether a frank is forged
or not. There are about 400 congressman,
and nearly all of them have clerks who use
the frank of their employers under instruc-
tions. How is a postoflice clerk, hurried as
he generally is to get a mail ready for an
outgoing train, to determine whether the
franks upon documents passing through the
Office are genuine or not
| Doubtless the Post Office Department
loses many thousands of dollars annually by
the unauthorized use of congressmen's
franks. Some method should be devised to
| prevent this loss. The authorities should
spare no opportunity to detect and punish
those who forge franks. After all, would it
not be a saving to the government to allow
each congressman a small sum for postagel
There would be then a great falling off in
the amount Of mail matter furnished by
congressman, and they would have more
time to attend TO their official duties.

III am voting for Kane" is one of the
phrases that will probably become familiar
before the election. Mr. Pierce Kane is large
knit goods manufactures of New York. and
he is for protection, because it protects
monopolies, therefore he will vote for Har-
rison, or "for Kane" as he puts it. The
monopollst don't consider anybody's inter
est except their own.

Did the republican senator's who were in
New York yesterday submit the senate
tariff bill to Mr. Blaine for criticisms They
appear to be quite sensitive on this point,
but as Mr. Blaine is the controlling spirit of
the campaign, in comparison with whom
Gen. Harrison sinks into insignifcance, and
as everybody understands that such is the
case, there is no reason why the republican
senators should try to cover their tracks.
