FREE RURAL DELIVERY
QUEER CONTENTION IN THE POST
OEFICE DEPARTMENT.
The Postmaster General Promptly Tutor
Tered to Maintain His Own Authority
Over His Suburdinates

Washington, April G.-There is q
funny situation in tho postof1ice de.
partment which indicates lax disci-
pline on the part of our handsome
and eloquent postmaster generel. 1t
has been discovered that both tho
second and the fourth assistant post
masters general have been fighting
the rural delivery system under The
very nose of their superior in Office,
whose idol it happens to be. We
have had such situations in Wash
ington before, but seldom so con-
spicuous violation Of official oti-
quette and discipline.
Second Assistant Postmaster Con
eral Shalleberger is fighting the new
rural delivery because it is gradually
replacing tho star route system under
his jurisdiction. Fourth Assistant
Brlstow is fighting it because it ro-
duces the number Of fourth class
postoflices, of which he has charge,
and both Of them have been using
their influence to prevent congress
from making appropriations asked
by their superior officer, the post
master general, and recommended by
the President.
The second assistant postmaster
general even addressed letter, to
every member of Congress calling at-
tention to the extravaganza Of the
rural free delivery, and claimed that
the service could be done by his star
route carriers with less expense.
These letters were brought to the at.
tention of the postmaster1 general,
who in a rather emphatic reply,
knocked out both of his subordinates
The popularity of the rural FREQ

Chance for tho Young Men To- day.

Some months ago, the editor of "The
National Magazine" Joe Mitchell
Chapple, announced his intention Of
establishing q bank and carrying on
the purpose of Bon jaman Franklin
to assist worthy, deserving and thor
oughly competent young men in start
ing in business for themselves. All
tlat he now lacks is million dollar en-
dowment. The spirit Of philanthropy
is not wanting in the American people,
and be believes that endowment will
be Forthcoming for this purpose,
which is even moro essential at this
time in bettering the condition of the
people and safeguarding the future
of the nation, than bequests to the
churches, libraries or colleges. After
educating young mon, give them the
means to compass their life's purpose
in an independent way, rather than
by becoming the proteges Of benevo-
lent wealthy mon. The American
National Endowment bank would
only enlarge tho good work which has
already been done by some of the
most successful banking institutions
of to day-having confidence in the
young mon who only ask chance to
obtain q footing and prove their merit
and capabilities in building up sub
stantial and creditable busin ess and
industrial enterprises. Even esti-
mated from the Franklin fund results,
SUCCESS is assured.

that the dispensary was on fire and

the court met this morning, the extra
venire of jurors drawn to get the
twelfth man failed to furnish the
needed juror. Finally r. Nj. Rivers,
objected to by the defence yesterday.
was accepted and the jury retired
and solicited Mr.. Rivers foreman.
Judge Benet explained thoroughly
the nature of the charge to the jury,
emphasizing that the essence of the
offense charged was fraudulent in
tent
The testimony was then taken.
Tho first witness was Mr.. Burriss,
former bookkeeper. He testified as
to settlements made in the Fowler
convict hire matter. This particular
case deals with the Fowler payments
alone.
Fowler testified to his payment of
$500 on draft, and explained the
case.
Hammond was put up to show
that on the same day he had paid a
draft for $813.17.
The bookkeeper Of the Carolina
bank testified from the books as to
the accounts Of Neal as superinten-
| dent and as an individual.
Col. Willie Jones, president of the
Carolina bank, was the last witness
before the recess.
At the afternoon session two wit
nesses were examined. Judge Benet
restricted tho testimony absolutely to
| the immediate Fowler transaction in
volved in the indictment except to
| admit tho Hammond case so far as
! to show that $500 was realized from
Hammond's draft. Colonel Jones
testified that on February Goth Colo.
mel Neal deposited 81, 300, of which
$500 went to the account of the pen
itentiary and $500 to his personal ac-
count. The State showed that it was
the S 300 derived from the Ham,
mond and Fowler DRIFTS, or at least
it was not denied. The State showed
that Colonel Neal told Burriss to
credit $3.50 to Fowler's account and
$244 to expenses, and Fowler claimed
and was entitled to credit for,the
full amount. Colonel Jones being
on stand defense used him to show
that Colonel Neal had returned 10
the bondsmen esery cent the bonds
mon had paid with interest This
the defense did to show an absence
of criminal intent. The defense also
showed that Colonel Neal stated on
examination and at all times that he
owed State money and would pay it.
The State, however, held that this
was two years after tho fowler trans
action and he would not have said
anything about it had he not been
caught.
The defence emphasized the lack
of criminal intent and Judge Benet
emphasized and held that criminal
intent was the vital essence of the
crime charged. If there was rea-
sonable doubt ae to criminal lnten-
ton the jury must acquit under the
indictment and the law.
The count as to larceny was with
drawn and breach Of trust with fraud
ulent intent was the charge for the
trial and Judge benet held that d
conviction under the amended indict-
ment would not be proper unless
criminal intention to defraud the
State was evident. .....

Kinley's dangerous rival. Dewey
also believes that tho reports Of his
alleged contemplated trip to Europe
emanated from tho same source.
More than once in angry moments,
he has threatened to show that the
President would have ample cause to
fear him. OF Dewey's hostility to
the President there cannot be any
doubt whatever.
The admiral's political hackers,
however, want to sidetrack Bryan
and elect some other Democrat.
They do not want TO merely defeat
Mckinley, "s between Bryan and
Mckinley in tho presidential chair,
they would infinitely prefer the latter,
and if it shall prove that Dewey is
not likely to sweep the country, they
will throw him overheard without the
least compunction. 1t is for this rea-
son that MIR. Cleveland after first in
dorsing Mr. Dewey's announcement,
now takes occasion to deny his utter
ances and to serve public notice that
if he saya anything at all, the express
sion will be formal one over his own
signature. 1t can now be asserted,
with absolute knowledge, that Mr..
Cleveland has been surprised at the
Indifference with which Dewey's name
has been received, and that the letter
which ne promises will never appear
unless there is change in public SEN
timent. The possibility that third
ticket may draw votes from McKin-
ley and thus elect Bryan is some
thing that the Cleveland Democrats
are fully considering. 1t will not
become probability with their
knowledge and consent.
1t is now recalled that when Lew
Dockstader, the minstrel, was in
Washington some weeks ago, he de
livered a monologue in which he
nominated Dewey anu Wheeler on
the platform, "The American Flag"
Only few weak and scattering hand
aps greeted the announcement. "If
my ticket does not get more votes
than applause it will not win," com.
mented Dockstader.
But night after night in Washing
ton and since then in city after city,
Dockstader continued to announce
his Dewey and Wheeler ticket on the
flag platform, although the names in.
variably failed to receive hearty ap-
proval. 1t was suggested yesterday
that Dockstader had been employed
by the political hackers of Dewey to
prepare the public mind for the ad-
miral's candidacy, and that his con-
tract prevented him from abandoning
what was plainly an unpopular sug-
gestion. The flag platform is now
Dewey's platform, which is regarded
as curious coincidence. The cur
rency given to this story illustrates
the feeling in the public mind regard
jag Dewey. In fact, all sorts of
curious rumors were afoat yesterday,
among them being the statement
that Mrs. Dewey would even be will
ling to have the admiral accept the
Vice. Presidential nomination on the
ticket with Bryan in order to assist
in MoKinley's downfall.
