The Cuban Postal Frauds.

July last the director of posts for
Cuba ordered American stamps
marked Cuba" to the value of SAIL,
600 destroyed. Immediately after
this the postal receipts fell from $50,
Geo monthly to about $4,000. the
Havanna post-oflice receipts, however
remaining approximately $4,000,
the entire deficit being in the returns
from the outlying districts In due
course of time this state of affairs
became known, and as result the
Cuban postal frauds have been sn-
nounced. Since the discovery the
receipts from the country districts
previously returning two and three
thousand dollars per month show
for the first five DAYS in May $4,000.
Among the appointments of Mr..
Rathbone, the director of posts for
Caba, were Charles f. Nicely, treas
urer of the department of post office
In Cuba, and G. NJ. Rich, assistant
treasurer.
Mr. Medley of Muncie, Ind, is sup
posed to be the principal in perpet-
rating the frauds. Postmaster Gen
eral Charles Emory Smith has deter
mined to thoroughly investigate the
alleged misconduct of affairs in the
Cuban Post office, and has delegated
the most efficient officers of the in-
spectiOn service to conduct the in
qniry. On May II it was announced
that stamps to the value of $4,000
had been recovered by secret service
agents as result of information fur
nished by one of the alleged conspir-
atOrs, who has confessed to the
postal frauds 1t is estimated that
the shortage will amount to 800. 1000.

Total Eclipse of the Sun.

On the 2Sth of this month there
will be a total eclipse of the sum-
The eclipse will be visible to all
North America and it is a phenome-
non that will not be repeated until
the year 1918.
The line of totality will run from
Norfolk, Va, through Tennessee and
Texas to the Southwest.
While the cities on the line of to-
tally will have view of the total
eclipse, varying from 1t minutes to
| ! minutes, yet to distance from
this line in some places the sun will
be totally obscured for only an in
slant. Still further from the line
the eclipse will only be partial While
the total eclipse will only last for "A
very short time, vet there will be sew.
ersl minutes, probably not far from
an hour that the sun will be partially
hidden.
The belt of the total eclipse is very
narrow, being only about 80 miles on
the line from Norfolk, Va, TO New
Orleans. The study of the sun under
such circumstances has been one of
he favOrite labOrs of astronomers.
and many of the professors of the Va
rlous universities will go to some of
the best adapted cities for observation
along the line of the total elipse.
Many of them have already made ar
engagements for this and it is proba-
bic that many others will do likewise
before the 2Sth of the month.
When in total eclipse the sun
throws out vast rays of light known
as corona, which can be seen for a
distance of more than million of
miles from the sun. Red flames of
gas can also be seen like flames of fire
extending as far away as 100000
miles from the sun. These have in
the past excited much interest and an
eclipse was of great moment in the op-
portunity which it gave for the study
of these peculiarities. Later i'm
provements give the astronomer an
opportunity 10 study these ut all
times, however, as they are always
present and the apparatus, which are
too minute for technical descrip-
ton, so reduce the rays of the sun at
the center of the point of observation
as to permit of the study of this gas.
The discovery of the existence of the
gas at such great distance from the
sun was one of the early proofs of the
theory held that the solar bodies ex
listed at one time in vast BODY of gas
and that it was only when they had
cooled to an extent sufficient TO con
tract the gases that they solidified.
The earth, for instance. would. as GAS
fill sphere $4,000 times that which
it fills as 8 solid body.

Calculations based on the oleoma

Calculations based on the oleomar-
garlne figures sent to Congress by
Secretary Gage, show that the entire
50, 100000 pounds of materials for
that substance used last year in the
United States were valued at a little
less than 100000, which gives an
average value per pound of materials
OF a trifle over seven cents. Allow
ing two cents for the internal revenue
tax and one cent for manufacture, the
total cost can scarcely be over lO3
cents per pound. The market price
is about IA cents per pound, giving
total profit of some $3,OOO,O 900 to the
makers. No wonder these are fight
ing against the tax which will cur
tail their profits.

The Montana Senaeorship.

The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Dispatch of date Nav
Is, stated:
III Is given out by reliable authority
mere tonight that the Governor of Mon
tana, will appoint w. G.. Conrad to sue
Seeo senator Clark, who resigned today.
w. u. Conrad was at one time resident
OF Virginia, having been born in the Val
ley. He maintains a summer house at
mite Post, Va, where he delights to
spend his summers. Mr.. Conrad migrat-
ed TO Montana from Virginia in his
younger days, going into the cattle trade
and accommodating a large fortune. In
the great contest waged in the Montana
Legislature that elected Senator Clark.
MT. Conrad came within six votes of be-
ing elected"
The many friends here of our hon
ored countymau were exchanging and
expressing delight and qualification
at this we'll merited appointment
when the next issue of the daily pa
pers announced that Lieut. Governor
Sprigg in the absence of Governor
Smith had appointed Senator Clark
to succeed himself and that Mr.. CLARK
had announced his acceptance with q
great flourish of trumpets. This &C.
ton on the part of the Lieutenant
Governor was not received fsvorably
by the absent Governor, nor by men,
bers of the L. s. Senate, as the Com
mittee on Elections had reported ad-
versely to the seating of Mr.. CLARK on
the ground of proven bribery in Sc
curing his election. Governor Smith
on his return revoked the appoint
ment and has sent to the Senate for
confirmation as U. S. Senator the
name of Hon. Martin Msginnis, a
former member of Congress, giving
as his reason for his action, that the
appointment by the Lieut. Gov. was
tainted by collision and fraud.
From our standpoint, in considera
ton of Hon. W. G.. Conrad having
been the second choice of the Monta-
na Legislature, when balloting for
Senator, being defeated by only six
votes, it would seem the Governor also
has ignored the sentiment of his State
in not appointing Mr.. Conrad to the
vacant senatorship, who evidently,
but for the bribery proven against
Clark, would have been elected by
the body supposed to reflect the
wishes of the voters of the State of
Montana.
The COURIER believes good will
result from the exposure of all this
corruption, fraud and bribery mot

Much has been said in denuncia-
ton of the so-called trick ballot
that will be used next Thursday to
take the sense of the people on the
proposed constitut ional convention.
1t is perfectly plain aud fair.
The act of General Assembly provid-
ed that simply the words For Con.
stitutional Convention" should ap-
pear at the foot OF the ballot. A
voter favoring the convention need
not mark that part of the ticket at
all. 1.-The opposes, be needs simply to
draw his pencil through the line and
the ballot will be counted against the
convention. No ticket could be sim
pier and none could be more easily
voted. The ''trick is largely in the
minds o. those gentlemen who have
contracted the unfortunate habit of
denouncing everything that can be
traced to q democratic source"
