No Other Remedy for One Crime Let
 the South Alone
 Cleveland, Sept 19.-The Right Rev William M Brown, formerly of Ohio, who is now bishop of the Arkansas diocese of the Episcopal church, while in this city Thursday on the way to Washington to attend the missionary council of the Episcopal church and the convention of the American house Of bishops, expressed himself plainly on the race problem. |
 While I do not justify lyncfing, l can find no other remedy adequate to suppress the crime for which this has been made punishment by the people of the south" he said. II am north ern man, and used to look with horror on lynching but since I have been south my eyes have been opened. Im- prisonment does no good.
 II am of the opinion that 1t would be we'll to leave the solution of the negro question to southern people They know best what to do.t The en- franchisement of the negro has been a serious mistake. Very few of them have any convictions. and their votes are cast, as a rule. for the man who pays the most money"

 The body of James Greaney, ageM about 50 years, of Charles street, was found in the Naugatuck river near Waterville this morning about I :30-4 The body was discovered in the river near the shore by a little boy named9 William Clark, who informed others people of the discovery. Medical Ex- aminer Crane was notified and after making an examination of the remains gave permission for removal of the body by Undertaken Mulville to the home of the deceased at 45 Charles street
 How the body came to be found ilx the Naugatuck river is a mystery oia which little light has as yet been shed~. The medical examiner is conducting an investigation, but has as yet req ceived little or no information in re- gard to the sad case. The last seem of MT Greaney, so far as is knoSvns was yesterday morning about I1A o'clock. In company with two mem he was seen driving along the Waater- vile road towards ThonHaston. Two men state that they saw some objecfz which they thought was the body of man floating down the NaIgatllcIz river yesterday afternoon about S o'clock. This may have been Mn Greaney's body.
 The body was found lying facg downward in the water The mef7fs cal examiner says that it is probabia 1t was lying in the water all morn- ing, possibly all last night. No rDarks of foul play were found on the bof1v.
 MT Greaney was employed as q sec ton hand in the Naugatuck division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. His work lay bexs tween Waterbury and Jericho brff1ge which is near the Thomaston line. Hr had worked for the railroad for about thfrty-4ive or thirty-six years and was considered a workman of the A No E class. He was steady and industrious., ,, an excellent worker and a man of very pleasing nature. The railroad officers thought much of him. A Demoeraf reporter was told from inquiry of, the railroad authorities to-day that Mir Greaney was at work yesteriay. Fur ther than that his body WIS found fa the river the authorities knew nothing about the case. They all were very much grieved to hear the news, for they! considered him q capiHel worker. MT GTeaney's son-in-lavs Patrick Kieley, is section foreman la the yard of the Highland division
 The deceased leaves wife and five esi1dren. Ham nah, John, Michael, Margaret and Elizabeth. Michael is a well known electrician. being member of the firm of Greaney & McNellis.
 The place where the body was found is near the spot where Martin Lond- wig, an employe of the Watervi1Ie Pin Co was drowned two or three months ago. While trying to cross the rivers: which was much swollen owing to re- cent rains, to feed cows on the other side, his boat was capsized and he wass drowned.

BALFoUR AND THE KING.
Will Soon Have Conference in Re
 gard to Affairs. -.

.
 London, Sept 19.-The political crisis is still the sole topic of discussion in the United Kingdom. Premier Bal four is expected to have an audience with King Edward at Balmoral to- day, when, doubtless, he will present the nominations for the cabinet ve- cancies. The exact nature of these appointments still continues a. matter of varied surmise. Regarding the eventual result of the upheaval, the Spectators forecast that MT Balfour, when he appeals to the country will be beaten and succeeded by a Rosebery cabinet, which will not last long, at tracts the greatest attention.
 A curious phase of the situation is the severe criticism, regardless of party lines, bestowed on MT Balfour's ac- ton in publishing his views and sell ing them in pamphlet form. The pre- mier's keen sense of chivalry and hon. or is far too deeply appreciated by all parties to ever permit the suggestion that he purposely adopted the doubt ful. practice. By MT Balfour's own ad- mission that he is mere child in such matters 7 and his inexperience in business affairs now appears to have put him at the mercy of the publishers of the pamphlet, who are coining mon ey over the vital issue in national af- fairs. That MT Balfour will devote his portion of the proceeds to some charity is generally assumed; but it is regretted that he did not mention some such intention in the preface of che pamphlet. The Outlook, which is q warm supporter of the premier, de- .lares MT Balfour's indiscretion strikes rnde blow at one's reverence for the traditions of English public life, when a public servants position seems to be used for private gain, no matter whose"
 The Outlook adds that the fact that q note was sent to the editors, with the. pamphlet, only allowing them to quote one thousand words textually Is "one of the worst features in this deplorable business 1"
 The Spectator and other periodicals also express concern on the latter point.
 The Outlook estimates that the prof. it's on 100000 copies alone will be S17.- 000 of which MT Balfour will receive B large share. The pamphlet promises to reach sale of a million copies. Tn the meantime there are no pamphlets in print and the copies printed have reached premium, many of them sell ing. for fifty cents, double the price of the issue. MT Balfour's party mana gers openly proclaim grave dissatis- faction. In the first place, they say they cannot get any more copies for their impatient constituencies and they add that they object to paying for the literature which is supposed to be the most powerful aid in keeping the gov ~Enment in power. Several of the con- servative agents have gone so far as <0 threaten to resign. The publishers make no discount to party organiza- sons. even though thousands are or aered, and actually demand the money a0 advance.
