The Parcel Post Idea.
prom the Chicago Time.-HeraIa.l

lfrom the Ihcago Ilmes-HetaIr.J
To make an GRAND boy Of the Government for
the great commercial establishments in the big
centres OF trade is contrary 10 the principles
Of our Government. Il is not the function Of
our Government to usurp the functions Of pri-
vate enterprise. Equality before the law could
not exirt under the proposed parcels post
from commercial standpoint. The effect Of such
a law would be to take trade away from an
the interior cities and towns in the West ana
South and concentrate it in the hands Of a few
merchants in the big centres OF trade in the East
It would in fact completely paralyze certain
kinds Of merchandising in the West and South
Such ridculOusly low rates OF carriage would
enable the great merchants Of the East 10 sen
at prices which the interior merchant could
not afford TO compete against because Of added
cost in obtaining supplies and restricted popula-
lion 10 draw trade from.

II anybody wants TO buy wooden leg cheap he
can get bargain by eHquiring at the GRAY 5
Ferry Arsenal. One of the workmen employed
there married a widow some time ago. and al
though he didn't know it at the time, her first
husband had only one leg. The widow had re-
fused to allow the artificial limb 20 be buried
with him. SAYING she wished 10 cherish il as
tender memory OF her happy married life. And
as the memory OF her husband was enshrined in
her heart, so was his wooden leg given place in
the parlor But when she married for the second
time the leg was banishcd. and it was not until
recently that the second husband discovered the
presence Of this mementO Of his predecessor.
Since the discovery was made, however. the wife
has again displayed a fondness for The unre-

BENEFITS FROM ARBITRATION.
The views OF Marcus Baker, of the
Geological survey.

Geological Survey.
Marcus Baker, geographical expert Of
the Geological Survey. leetured on the Ven
ezuelan boundary last night before the Ma
tionSl Geographic Society. The discourse
was chiefly a review OF the ever s which
led TO the Paris Tribunal and an opposition
OF the award made By that court. In the
course OF his talk however NJ Baker
made some interesting observations on the
cost of the settlement
'Eugland's expenses he said. were less
than SlCo GOO II Venezuela paid out the
same amount and the United States had
expended all the 800 coo allowed its Com
mission The total cost o. the controversy
would have been less than $500 600 The
cost Of "a single baJJleship is $500 COO.
Had Venezuela gone 10 war and been vic

she could have obtained would have been
more satisfactory than the award OF the
Paris Commission. Arbitration taus secured

Brownlow on TOP.-In every scrim-
mage thus far in Tennessee between Pen
sion Commissioner Fl. Clay Evans AID Rep
resentative Brownlow the latter has come
out on top. Yesterday Mr. Browniow beat
Mr.. Evans in the Pension Commissioner S
home town Of Chattanooga. II is probable
that the Evans faction will send a contest
ing delegation to the Philadelphia conven-
ton. and thus place upon Mr.. Hanna the
direct responsibility of settling the row.
As Mr.. BrOwnlow is almost certain to re-
main in Congress for several terms it is
not hard to guess what Mr.. Hauna's decis-
ion will be unless the luc6less Mr. Evans
can show that. though he may be compelled
To retire to private life. he can control one
or more votes in Congress through his bus
mess associations with large manufactur-
ers. Bat however that may be. II seems
pretty certain that if Mr.. Mckinley is re-
elected he will make a change in the Pen
sion Bureau

Although very little evidence Of sensa-
tional interest has been given as yet in
the examination OF the persons accused Of
Governor Goebers murder, there are
strong indications that the State authori-

convict and hang them. Indeed matters
look very black for two or three very

Deny EVerythtnE.-The delegation OF
prominent Kentucky Republican leaders
now in Washington continue to deny Wig
orously every report concerning the pur-
pose Of their visit. Il is positively known
that on last Tuesday they discussed with
various members OF Congress and several
members Of the Cabinet the adyisability OF
asking for a Congressional investigation Of
the anomalous conditions in their State,
yet they now ASSET that nothing Of this
kind ever was contemplated by them. The
fact in this relation seems 10 be that they
have learned that they could not get their
case before Congress, because there IS
nothing upon which to hinge Congress
ional action. This has caused them 20 take
another tack al IL is believed that they
are now cOnferrlng with the ablest Repub-
lican lawyers in both branches Of Congress
on the legal points involved in the contest
at Frankfort, with the view Of discovering
some safe ground for an appeal 10 the
Supreme Court at Washington from the
decision of the Kentucky tribunal OF last
resort. IL is understood that unless tbev
are advised by he leaders here that there
is such ground fer an appeal they will ad-
wise Taylor 20 submit to the decree Of the
DOuIL OF Appeals AT franklCrt and sur
render the States property without blood
shed. Sam J. Roberts. OF Lexington. has
held several long consultations with the
President during the past fOrty-eight
hours. and il is thought he will have some
important announcement TO make soon.
Nr. Roberts had the rare good fortune 10
be born in Ohio. Better STILL he was
reared in the Presidents own town OF Can
ton. and is an old personal friend Of Mr.
Mckinley. For this reason il is thought
the President prefers TO communicate to
him whatever conclusion finally is reach
ed by the Administration.

CrumPncker's POPuInrity.-Repre-
sentative Crumpacker who is on a visit
- his home. is just now the popular idol
in Indiana. His manly opposition to the
Oxnard bill has elevated him in the csti-
n.stion Of the Foosiers TO a position Of
leadership which he never enjoyed before.
strong effort is being made to induce
him to enter the race To- Governor. but il
is understood mere that he viii not con
sent to be drawn into the scramble for
that Office. He has repeatedly declared
that he very greatly prefers 20 remain IN
Congress to being Governor of Indiana. n
the same time the Oxnard bill he's so
weakened the party in the HoOsier State
IL is thought Judge CrumPacker may be
induced 10 accept the guberaa torial uOT--
nation in order to save the Administrati a
in that State in November. Undoubtedly
he is at present the strongest member OF
the Indiana delegation. and he was
hardly known outside of his district until
he voted against the Porto Rican Tarin
bill. II is believed that his reception at
home with strengthen the determination OF
Senator Beverage to push his free trade
amendment in the Senate. and also will
convince the Senator-of the wisdom Of de-
| flying Mr.. Hanna BY delivering the speech
which Hanna caused him 10 withhold last

He Is a Fraud.

An Eau Claire dispatch to the Detroit
News says; "Just now the state papers
are using space freely in booming the
lectures of Rev. Tadaypaly Veerarargava
Roy, a Hindu doctor and preacher. He
poses as a converted heather who lost
his home and was disinherited by wealthy
parents because of his belief. He tells
of his wife and children who love him
dearly, and for whom he is saving money
to join him in this country. Sometimes,
when occasion best suits, he tries to raise
coin to take him back to his native land
as missionory. The Otsego and Kala-
mazoo papers have given columns of
fiattery to the 'Brahmin priest who gave
up his family and fortune for christian
ity' Roy worked the same gag in
other counties in the state"
The records of the circuit court of Van
Buren, county show that on February 5
last, DIR. Tadaypaly Veerarargava Roy
pleaded guilty to charge of bastaroy,
brought against him by young woman
who was at work in his family. On the
14th of the same month he was sentenced
to pay 5000 toward the support of the
child, and to stand committed until the
same was paid. He went to Jail, where
he remained nearly 80 days, and it being
evident that he could not pay he was re
leased. 1t was not understood here that
he claimed the title OF "Rev." Indeed,
he scoffed at christianity and claimed to
to be a faithful Hindu. His residence
was at Mcdonald, where he had family
consisting of wife and daughter, and
where he practiced, or pretended to, at
least, medicine, claiming to be a phys
clan. Roy visited Kalamazoo last week
in company with the Congregational
minister of Cooper and told a pathetic
story, which was published.

CAPTAIN HANNON DEAD
Highly Esteemed Citizen of Montgom-
 cry Passes Away

Montgomery, October 2 - Special )- Capt. Thomas E. Hannon died at his home in this city this afternoon at 3 o'clock. He was 55 years old. Captain Hannon was perhaps the most highly esteemed citizen in all Montgomery, every man being his friend.
 He had been a sufferer from cancer for some ten years and it was the effects of this horrible disease that caused his death
 When but youth Captain Hannon en- tered the Confederate army, and within a short period he was promoted to the rank of captain. He served as one of General Wheeler's most trusted scouts. When in Montg gomery Friday General Wheeler called on the sick man, and it was then known that he could not much longer survive The deaceased is survived by a wife and five children-four daughters and a son.
