said, then. of the limited postal tele-
graph plan, which I have been some
what criticised for bringing forward?
There is no doubt that it is conStitu-
tional. The constitution permits the
general government to transmit intelIi-
gence for the people. The postoffice
department has been doing this, with
the money and Improvements at its dis
posal, for 100 years. 1t is preposterous
to argue that the telegraph ought not
to be utilized for the cheaper, speedier
and more accurate transmission of mes
sages. | have had prepared and sub
nit for your reference an appendix
which touches upon this consideration.
The attorney general for the depart
ment assures me that the conclusion
that the limited postal telegraph plan
is constitutional cannot be resisted"
The postmaster general then follows
with an elaborate explanation of the
limited plan and of its operation, argu-
ing that it would pay the telegraph
companies, and be more efficient as well
as lower priced. In concluding he says:
Il desire in conclusion to explain as
explicitly as may be one or two things
that are not understood. have chal-
Ienged the most rigid scrutiny of the
limited postal telegraph bill. / ask to
cisms of it which have come to my no.
tice as an argument in its favor. The
limited postal telegraph bill is not
proposition to take money from the
treasury or to employ additional civil
servants; it is not proposition to put
any power whatever, in the hands of
the government, which is not, at pres
ent, greater and more dangerous where
1t is. 1t is proposition simply to dove
tail together two great machines so that
one shall do business eQuitably and by
that means make more money (which
shall be willingly accorded to it by the
people,; the other to utilize its present
skilled and faithful energy to help sup
ply the people with still better
means of communication furnished
still more cheaply. 1t is a proposition
incidentally to quicken the telegraph
service by encouraging all the members
of the operators to realize that they are
the better off the more they are able to
devote themselves to one thing, and are
permitted to see some results from their
inventive genius. 1t is not a PROPOSE
tion to buy the railroads, or the coal
mines, the saw mills or the bake shops
OF the country. 1t is not confession
that American ingenuity is incapable of
keeping up with the march of mercan-
tile and industrial progress. If others
speak out for the telegraph stockholdes,
some one must stand for the people in
the interest of the cheaper telegraph
that they want. l believe it belongs to
this department to take this stand, and
I propose intelligently and persistently
to keep this subject before you in strong
confidence that it will not be long be-
fore your committee will take steps to
give the people the relief prayed for"

THE SHOT TRUST.
1t Is Likely to Have Hard Road
to Travel.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Within the past
few days there has been a quiet little
meeting in session at the Office of the at
torneys of the American Shot and Lead
company in this city. 1t is said that
all the transfers of the shot companies
comprising the trust have been made.
Those posted in the trade say, however,
that the trust will have hard road to
travel, as two of the largest and most
Important manufacturers of the country,
and latham Bros. of New York, are on
the outside. These concerns have the
best and modern machinery, and make
more than one-half of the total output
of the country. The Raymond Lead
company, of this city, is said to do
double the business of any other shot
tower in the country.

Girls at Once.
DEs MONIES, TO-. Oct. S. News
reached this city tonight of a sensation
at Bedford, To-. which has caused
great deal of excitement in that little
city. Wesley Brown, young and
rather good-looking minister, went to
Bedford about year ago to take charge
OF tie Christian church. He was a
graduate of an Eastern college and was
highly recommended. He hardly located
until his attentions to the young lady
members of the flock caused comment,
but it was not until the past week that
the city was shaken with a volcano of
jealousy, which broke out in the choir.
The Rev. Brown has pledged his affec-
tions to at least five girls in the choir,
and an exchange of condolences on their
part has given publicity TO the matter.
The girls finding that they had been
duped carried their story to the trustees
of the church, and the Rev. Browns
resignation was promptly demanded.
The church is now without pastor,
and Brown has left for parts unknown.
The affair has caused intense excite
ment in. church circles, and, as the
young ladies are highly connected, in
dignation at the pastors action is at
fever heat.

CITY OF MEXICO. Oct. president
Barillas, of Guatemala, told a CORE

This, he said, had been done three years

in Honduras on Sept. 16. but on ac-
count of the war the meeting was post
poned. He said that under no consider
alton would voice or vote be allowed

Totals 22.O5O 1866

1t will be observed that st. Louis
county is credited with Merriam plu-
rality of 1.400-a plurality which, while
1t is reduction of 1,600 as compared
with the vote of 1855, is regarded by
conservative Duluth Republicans as
entirely too high. In Otter Tail
the Alliance is loudly claiming 60
per cent of the total vote, while
the same organization claims in Becker,
Big Stone, Kittson, Polk, Norman,
Traverse, Todd and Wadena counties
heavier vote than is here allowed it.
1t was difficult in nearly every county
to obtain an estimate from leading Re
publicans, most of whom frankly
admitted their inability to cal
culate the loss to their party
by the farmer vote. These
figures are, therefore, simply estimates,
but will serve to indicate the general
trend of sentiment. 1t is believed the
Democratic vote is, in every instance,
entirely conservative. The result gives
MI. Wilson plurality of 800 over Mr..
Merriam in the Fifth district. 1t is GER
tain that Mr.. Wilson will increase
this plurality. His vote in the eastern
end of the district will be heavier, and
that of Kittel Halvorsen will fall be-
hind that of Mr.. Owen in nearly every
county. while the unpopularity of Con-
gresham Comstock-''the protectionist
sprawling on a free trade PLATFORM
will chase the difference in votes to the
Whlteman column. HELOT.

A Murder in the Presence of Two
Women.
ST. LOUIS. Oct. 5.-Last night about
9 o'clock William O'Donnell, Mrs.
Annie Meters and Mrs. Emma Elklns
were sitting in room of the housd 917
La Beaume street. where Mrs. Meters
lives, drinking beer. The bell rang
and Mrs. Meters went to the door, but
before opening it asked who was there.
Voices indicated that there were two
men at the door, and Mrs. Meier identi-
fed one of them as John Feeny. She
refused to let him in, but he forced an
entrance into another part of the
house and made his way to where the
three were. On catching sight of
O'Donpell he drew knife and cut him
in the face. O'Donnell drew his gun
and said: IF you cut me again,
l will shoot you." Feeney again at
lacked him and cut deep. long cash
in his right arm. O'Donnell then drew
his pistol and shot Feeney, who fell to
the floor and died almost instantly.
O'DoDnell's wound is pronounced seri-
Gus, but not necessarily fatal. Accord
ing to Mrs. Melers it appears that the
dead man was an old sweetheart of hers
before her marriage, and that jealousy
