The evidence IS accommodating that lie
Caron, the informer and spy whose testi-
mony against Mr. Parnel, in the inquiry
that is being conducted by a commission in
London, has attracted so much attention, is
a villain of the worst type. A great deal
Of his testimony has been shown to be false
by those in this country vino have some
knowledge Of him. He is shrewd and un-
scrupulous, and has not hesitated TO give a
coloring to some facts Of which he became
possessed, that make him appear to be a
very important witness. Before the inquiry
is concluded, however, it will be shown,
doubtless, that he is unworthy of belief,
and that his testimony is comparatively
worthless
General Master Workman Powderly has
furnished for publication a letter he re-
ceived from lie Caron in 1886, during
the time the Knights Of Labor were having
trouble with Jay Gould. In this letter LIE
Caron offered TO destroy the bridges and
culverts ON one Of the roads of Gould's
southwestern system. Mr.. Powderly does
not believe that lie Caron intended to do
anything Of the kind, but desired TO be
taken into the confidence of the Knights Of
Labor for the purpose of betraying them.
He wanted to know the names Of those Of
the knights who could be trusted in an un-
dertaking iof the kind he proposed. Mr..
Powderly paid no attention to his letter be-
cause he had no intention Of using dynamite
to gain hls ends, and, also, because he was too
shrewd to have anything to do with a man
who made such a villainous proposition.
lie Caron's record is pretty well known.
1t is not record that strengthens his testi-
mony in the Parnell case. When it is put
into shape it will be sufficient to raise
doubt of the truth of any important state
ment in his testimony. Mr.. Parnell has no
reason to fear him or men of his kind

Distributing Seed.


1t is probable that congressman will be
deprived of the privilege of sending seed to
their constituents at government expense
For some years the government has fur
nished quite a varied assortment of seed to
congressman for free distribution, but on
motion of Mr. Burnett, of Massachusetts, a
clause was inserted in the agricultural ap-
preparation bill, which requires that the
quota for each state shall be forwarded to
the different experimental stations. or to
the commissioners of agriculture, and then
distributed where they would do the most
good. When the agricultural appropria-
tion bill was considered by the House the
other day and passed, an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to have the clause struck
out.
The advocates of the clause presented
several very good reasons for retaining it,
One of them was that congressman do not
distribute the seed to the best advantage
of agriculture, but place them where
they are supposed to promote their political
interests. For instance, they are frequently
sent to constituents who can make no use of
| them and who give them away, and some
times a variety, as, for instance. that of
cotton, is sent to locality in which cotton
can not be cultivated. One congressman
is known to have sent %, 900 packages to
%, 900 voters in his district during the last
campaign. OF course among those who
received packages were lawyers, doctors
and others who, in most instances, had no
use for them. In this way there is a great
waste.
Another reason urged for changing the
present system was that the change would
relieve congressman of burden that is be-
coming quite a heavy one. Members who
make seed sending a sort of electioneering
scheme are not likely to regard it as a bur
den, but such men as Speaker Carlisle, Mr.
Mills, Mr.. Wilson, Mr.. Breckenridge and
Senator George, who do not depend upon
seed to help secure their reelection, favor
the change.
No doubt the seed could be more judici-
ously distributed by the experimental sta
tions, or the departments of agriculture.
If their distribution were intended to pro-
mote the interests of the politicians, they
should be given to the politicians; but if
the purpose were to promote the interests
of the farmers principally, they should be
distributed according to Mr.. Burnett's
plan.

The attempt of the republicans to make
political capital out of the assassination Of
John NJ. Clayton has brought out some
facts that the Republican party would pre-
fer to keep in the background. One is that
when the south was controlled by carpet
baggers, political murder was virtually
countenanced by that party. Senator
Berry, of Arkansas, reminded the repub-
licans of this few days ago, when, in re-
plying to one of Senator Chandler's har-
angues, he said that when Powell Clayton,
brother of John NJ. Clayton, was gov
ernor Of Arkansas, Gen. Thomas c. Hind
man was shot down one night by an un-
known party, while he was with his family,
and just after he had returned from can
vass Of his district. Gen. Hindman was
democrat Senator Berry said: Powell
Clayton then had all the power Of the fed
eral officials and militia at his command,
yet the assassin was never known and
never arrested. And it was stated that no
reward was ever offered for his capture"
Another fact that the republicans never
mention is that political murder has been
committed in the north. 1t has been COM
ullbUeu III GLhL cpuDilIul SOlOIEhOlhY L III
adelphia The Philadelphia Times referred
the other day to the murder, some years
ago, in that city, of Cato, Chase and Ger
don 'for the sole offense Of colored citizens
exercising the guaranteed right of suffrage" s"
1t said: "These murders were perpetrated
on the public streets of Philadelphia in
open day, and with republican courts,
republican prosecutors, republican juries
and republican power in state and
nation, not one of the murderers
has been punished. What would be said in
Pennsylvania if congress were to assume
that there is no just protection to colored
citizens in this state, because three were
murdered in open day and many wounded,
for the single offense of exercising the
rights Of citizenship, and none Of the muir
derers brought to justice2 And yet we,
with the unavenged blood of Cato, Chase
and Gordon on our streets, declare Arkansas
a lawless government because a cowardly
political assassin has not been discovered
and gibbe ed in fortnight"
Unless the republicans can clear their
skirts of political murder in the south, and
unless they can show that political murder
is unknown in the north, they should be
careful how they wave the bloody shirt.

4 LION IN CLAY.

c. W. Reed and Messrs. Beattie

lion which will be placed on the mon
ument to the 1 st Vermont brigade at
the bloody battlefield of Gettysburg.
The lion will be cut in white Dunn
merston granite by Carrick Brothers
of this place. The figure is of the full
size of large lion. 1t is lying down,
but the head is raised, and the for
ward part of the body is in the at
titude of rising, apparently ready to
spring to the conflict. The head is
turned slightly to the right, as if
listening to the sounds of battle
where Pickett's charge is repulsed,
but the body faces south, whence an
attack was still expected. The
mouth is open. the face terrible with
savagery and intelligence, and all the
muscles of the body are expressive of
intensity and power. The name is
massed for stone work, but SO skill
fully done as to sacrifice none of the
impressiveness of that feature of the
king of beasts

CALEDONIA MEN ABROAD.

BY the reorganization of the Mar
ket Street bank in San Francisco,
several Caledonia county men figure
prominently William ]. Somers is
president. Harvey c. SOmers is vice
president, John A. Roy is a director
and Gustavus A. Burbank assistant
cashier. The Messrs. Somers are
Danville men, brothers of Mrs p 7.
Walker, and have for some years
been very successful business men in
San Francisco. Mr. Roy was Bar
net man, and has been largely en-
gagged in dairying near SanRafael. Mr..
Burbank was formerly clerk of Gale
donia county, cashier of the old Dan
vile bank, and has since been in the
banking business in Chicago and
Minnesota. The association of four
Caledonia county men in one promi-
nent institution on the other side of
the continent is one of the marked
events in our American life.
