A National ExDress,

1t is promised that within go days
from o we actually shall have q gov
eminent express on q small scale at
least. By that time New Workers will
be able to register valuable packages at
their homes and have them forwarded
by the national government to any city
and town within tho limits of the Union
that possesses n system of carriers.
We ought indeed at once to have the
whole express business of the country
run by the national government-that
is. our postoffice department should be
so extended as to carry parcels Of every
kind to every part Of the Union.
Great Britain has preceded US and
become a pattern to us in this as in
some other matters by her parcel post
act of 1888, which has proved just rs
successful rs her postal telegraph.
Mr.. Wanamaker, as postmaster gen.
eral. in his report Of 1891 strongly rec
commended such a national express.
arguing that the national post goes to
thousands of localities where no private
express company consents to go.
The principal advantage of such an
extension of the governments activity
would be by no means the saving in
money. A far greater benefit would be
the fact that. like a national telegraph,
such a national express system would
tend to unity u people. would bind
them together.
And what is the obstacle7 There is
only INT but a very great one, also
stated by Wanamaker. 1t consists Of
our four private express companies.
Think of where we should be with
out Jul national postof1ice. 1t would
cost New Workers SO cents perhaps to
send a letter to California.
The government express promised Us
is an example Of most beneficent ex.
pansion-an expansion Of usefulness on
the part of the servant Of the people

Ton New and Original Songs.

What will the great metropolitan

of ''America's Greatest Newspaper"
by just such remarkable pieces of

the press all over the country.
Last week the New York Sunday
World announced that it would give
away an album of new and original
music, consisting of ten of the up-to
date class of songs that are now so
popular, such as songs of sentiment,
coon songs, ''cakewalks," &c.
These ten songs the Sunday World
proposes to distribute one each week,
with every copy of the Sunday
World. When it is considered that
the average pice of new music,
written and composed by popular
authors, is from 80 to As cents, the
unparalleled enterprise of The
World in giving the song a away
with a big Sunday newspaper, for
which only s cents is charged, is
apparent. The World requests that
we publish the following announce.

raw material is yet to be effected.
The ramifying trusts interested in
the print cloth industry, however. in
connection with the trust most immc-
diately concerned. have caused the prices
to go up.
Nearly every article handled by q
hardware store is the product of q trust
and the stock of a large establishment
represents perhaps 20 different indus
trial combinations.
A majority of these trusts are depend
ent for their raw material upon the
iron. steel, copper and brass trusts, and
as each of the latter has increased its
prices heavily within the past eight or
ten months, the manufacturing trusts,
following in the wake of the others,
have also made an increase.
Retailers. when forced to pay more
to the manufacturer or producer, in.
variably make additional provision for
themselves when fixing a new scale of
prices. The result is that for various
articles of hardware the purchaser is
paying anywhere from 10 to 100 per
cent more than 10 months ago.
For stoves and kitchen utensils gen
orally the increase varies between 35
and 80 per cent, but for different tools
controlled by individual trusts tho in
crease is much higher. The average in
crease to the consumer is in the neigh
borhood of 40 per cent.
Since the organization of the Anal
gamated Copper company in April last
with a capital of $50, 600, 900 and the
possibility of an ultimate increase to
$500, 600, 600 the price of copper has
been raised repeatedly.
Copper today is SO costly through the
operations of the trust that various
concerns have found it profitable to buy
and import Chinese copper coins and
use them for manufacturing purposes.
They can obtain the raw material in
this way cheaper than by dealing with
the trust. This explains why the house
wife when purchasing copper kitchen
utensils has to pay 70 and so per cent
more than she did six months ago.
The coal trust is one of the few mo-
nopolies whose owners have failed to
declare that such combinations were
for the public good.
The trust practically owns the whole
Of the anthracite coal region and fixes
the price at whatever it sees fit. Two
months ago it ordered an increase of 20
cents Il ton, and later at Pittsburg an
additional advance was announced of 5
cents a ton on nut and lump coal and
of from 5 to Is cents on slack.
This last advance was due, it was de-
clared, to the rapid rise in the iron and
steel markets within the last few weeks.
Using this as a reason for further adj
vances, the consumers during the COM
ing winter will have to pay to the coal
barOnS 80 cents more a ton thar they
did last year.-New York World.

I was informed by no less q person than

the question up and arbitrate it on the
same terms which the United States i'm
pressed upon England in the Venezuelan
matter.
at is understood that Mr.. Choate could
not accept this basis of settlement Mr..
Davies told me that he assured Mr..
Choate that Canada would cede Skagway

my objection to this modus is that 1t

allowed to Americans. Being American
territory this course is opposed to the one
Canada has pursued by a late Legislative
act prohibiting any mining rights taken

NEGROES TO BE DISARMED.
People of Bevier Aroused by Sc
rtes of Outrages.

MACON, Mo-, Nov SIN spite of the
vigilance Of Supt. Vail, a body of ne
groes got out Of the stockade at Mine
No. 81 today and started toward town.
They stationed themselves In a railroad
cut and began firing into the houses over
the hill. David CANDLES residence was
riddled with bullets and the family had
to lie fiat on the floor to escape the
fusillade. o. L. Trollard's house was
also attacked in a similar manner ana
several other persons had to evacuate
their homes.
Sheriff Glenn went home last night and
the negroes took advantage of his alb
sence to resume the outrages. He re-
turned to Bevier today and Immediately
went to Mine No. 81, and he will en-
deavor to locate the guilty parties and
arrest them. The series of outrages have
aroused the people of Bevier. Several
parties came to Macon today in quest
of rifles and ammunition and a request
was made of Prof. Clendening for the
guns of the military academy, but there
were no cartridges for them. A show
of force is necessary before the negro s
will consent to be disarmed and peace
IS not expected until this is accomplished.
There is no lack of volunteers to assist

made by District Attorney Moran, Of

to the grand jury Of Seneca county. Mr..
Moran holds that Dickinson, the student
who was with Berkeley at the time, was
IN one sense liable for Berkeley's death,
ia that the latter was told to obey the
orders of Dickinson while UNDERGOING the
preliminary initiation Of the Kappa AL
pha fraternity. Dickinson should have
known the ground before sending him On
the errand he did, the district attorney
argues. The accident occurred In Sen

of the authorities Of that county.
