TENNESSEE ELECTION METHODS.
Capt. Brown Tells How the Democrats
Control.

Control.
Capt. ]. W. Brown Of Memphis, who was
United States marshal for the western dis
trict Of Tennessee under President Harri-
son, is spending a few days with his old
friend Manager Shut at the National. He
talked entertainingly today with an Even
ing Star reporter concerning the political
conditions In the state.
1.-The republicans in the western part of
Tennessee are practically disfranchised by
the operation of democratic machine meth
ods," he said. 1.-The result is that they
consider any attempt to record their will
at the polls as a needless display Of en-
ergy. The Dortsch law, which applies to
the larger towns and cities of the state,
is classed as the Australian system, but
has few of its features.
After the election Of Henry Clay Evans
as governor by handsome plurality the
democrats forced him to make a contest
which he did at his own expense, and
which cost vast amount of money, with
out giving him the position to which he
was honestly elected. Then the democrats
passed law giving to the governor the
power to appoint three election commits
sloners In each of the counties Of the state
They In turn were given the power to ap-
point the election officers for each voting
precinct of the several counties. The men
thus appointed were relied upon to furnish
the required democratic returns when
needed to elect.
Following the campaign of 1895 the re-
publicans threatened to make contest for
James NJ. Tillman, claiming his honest cleo
ton. In order to prevent the contest the
democratic legislature passed a law re-
curing contestant to give a bond to pay
all expenses, no matter what the result
might be. This would mean the expendi-
ture of fortune. and the richest of men
would hardly consider it worth the while
with the democratic machine in control
and willing to resort to any means to de-
feat
Ihe result is that the republicans have
practically quit working, as the odds are
SO great as to make their efforts fruit
less"
Captain Brown today called on his old
department

A COURT REBUKED.
Gen. Woods Comment on a Sentence
for DesertiOn.

for DesertiOn.
Copies of general orders from the de-
partment Of Cuba, just received at the War
Department, contain the records of a most
interesting court-martial trial. Logs OAR
rell. private in Troop G, 7th Cavalry, was
tried on charge of desertion, found guilty
and sentenced to be dishonorably discharged
the service. The reviewing authority found
much fault with the finding of the court,
holding that the penalty imposed for the
offense committed was "scandalously mad
equate," and that all the testimony that
was presented to the court was that of the
accused on his own behalf. Darrell plead
Guilty, with extehuating circumstances"
to the charge. The eXtenuating circum-
stances, says Gen. Wood, the reviewing au-
thority. were that Darrell was suspected of
murder by the majority of his troop. On
the morning of April 16, 1900, Henry l..
Crouch, private in Troop G, 7th Cavalry,
was found murdered in an ordnance store
house tent, adjoining the barracks Of his
troop at Pinar del Rio, Cuba. Two coat
straps were round his neck plainly show
ing that he had been strangled, and his
skull was smashed in, evidently by a hatch
ct or other blunt instrument. He was
known to have money on his person at the
time, and his pockets were turned inside
out, showing the object of the crime Cir
cumstances pointed to Darrell, 1t is stated,
as one of the perpetrators Of the deed, and
Willie I'LL luNSSllSdtlOl was Delng MADE
Darrell deserted his post, went to Havana
then to New Orleans. and there took pass
age for South Africa. On the 25th Of the
following July he was apprehended at
Beira, South Africa, and returned to Cuba
for trial. He was tried before the audencia
Of Pinar del Rio on a charge of murder, and
was acquitted. He Immediately came to
Colombia barracks and surrendered him.
self to the commanding officer, and was
then tried and sentenced on charge Of
desertion.
In rebuking the court, the reviewing au-
thcrity points out that Darrell was absent
from his command from the 18th of May
1900, to the Sd of June, 1901, over a year
and that even If no attempt to desert could
have been established, an absence without
leave for so long period warranted some
penalty by way of Imprisonment, and not
simply a discharge from the service. In
closing his review of the case Gen. Wood
says: IF such ideas of military justice as
the record in this case discloses are per-
mitted to prevail the consequences to the
discipline Of the army cannot fail to be
disastrous"

DEFICIT NEARLY $4,000, 900.
Auditor Castles Report on the Posta
Service.

According to figures Just completed by
Auditor Henry A. Castle OF the Post Office
Department the results OF the postal SER
vice for the fiscal year ended June 3d. 1901,
were: Receipts, S111.631 1889; expendi-
lures SIZE. 554 ,920.s7: net deficit Qncluding
losses by fire, ETC., etc), s3.9s1. 52011.
The deficit is about s1,50o.O00 smaller
than for the preceding year. Owing to the
extension of rural free delivery and other
augmented appropriations in every DEPART
ment the expenss OF the service were
SIS, 200 600 greater than the preceding year.
but receipts increased SO. 10000.
The figures show a steady decrease in
postal deficits during the past ten years.
In round figures they were S11. 600 600 in
1897 50 600. 600 in 1898, SC. 500 600 in 1850,
IS 500 600 in 1900 and 100000 In 1901. II
this percentage Of shrinkage in the deficit
should continue it would be entirely wiped
out within three years. While postal ex-
penditures have increased S21, 500 Oco. or 20
per cent in five years, postal revenues have
Increased So, 600, 900, equivalent to 30 per
cent.
The auditors report also shows that the
aggregate amount of money orders issued
during the fiscal year was $24, 61s, 6S1 The
amount paid was s2s1, 5b4, 712. The Differ
ence between these two amounts represents
principally United States money ORDERS
paid In foreign countries.
The sum total Of monetary transactions
of the Post Office Department, including
ders issued and paid, foots up for the fiscal
year $500, 359, SIT. This is an increase Of
nearly $S9O0000o over the preceding fiscal
year.

Consul McCOOk Tells About Fraud

The Interior Department has received
from the State Department letter from
United States Consul ]. c. McCook at Daw-
son, setting forth how fraudulent mining
companies prey upon people. The letter
says:
I have the honor to report that mining
companies are promoted and f1oated in the
states on claims in the Klondyke which the
public should not touch.
"Prospectuses are issued giving as refer
ence prominent government officials in
Dawson and others without their authority.
In these companies prospectuses are pub
lished the most fragrant false statements
The companies actually pay unearned divi-
dends in order to sell their stock. They In
variably get lot Of claims together of
very little value.
This is detrimental to the mining indus
tries at Dawson. The public should beware
and not invest their money in companies
they know nothing about

one of these companies recently In court
he stated under oath that the dividends OF
the company were paid out Of the capital.

Who invented the bicycle? At Gains
borough. Lincolnshire, Mr.. Richard Ham
mond. coachbuilder. aged seventy-three
years. has just died. and 1t is stated that
he made. out Of wood and iron. the first
English pedal and crank bicycle. 1t was
partly a copy Of a French invention. and
was completed within a month after de-
signs had appeared in a technical paper.
Other experts favor the claims of Gavin

we had not heard the late Mr.. Hammond s
