in they We're as we'll trained and docile
as their useful and Intelligent breed
commonly are. All Went on we'll for
some time, but after while loud Ia
ments We're heard from the shepherds.
The collies instead of protecting the
sheep were eating them What had
happened? The shepherds had left Il
number OF the dogs in the woods and
they had bred there, and reVerting to
the wotish ways from which ages, OF
training had weaned them. looked on
the sheep as q provision which nature
had made for them, and proceeded to
consume them accordingly. These
backsidng beasts hunt in packs and
attack vigorously, sometimes killing Il
shepherd or two without malice. but in
the heat of their predatory onset. The
only remedy which the herdsmen can
discern in the case is 10 proclaim
vendetta against the dogs and destroy
them, but they have multiplied abound
iugly and taken refuge in the bush, re-
nouncing the customary allegiance OF
their kind so that killing them off is
not as easy as rolling off a log. nor
anything like it. The introduction of
the docile collie to fresh fields and
pastures new is evidently not without
ii occasional accomplishments of dItii-
Guilty and peril, ana brings out the ami
reals proueness To degencracy in a way
not at all creditahle to the breed nor
in line with its ordinary history.

THE posTOEFlCE SCANDAL.

A. w. Machen, chief of the rural free
mail delivery bureau, Who some weeks
since was granted an indefinite leave Of
absence during the investigation OF al
legged crookedness in MS department
was arrested yesterday under the spe-
cific charge of receiving brides from
contractors. 1t is alleged that Machen
has received a $4,000 bride from
manufacturer of letter box fasteners
and that he has received 40 per cent OF
the amounts paid by the government to
this contractor. He was Immediately dis
missed from the service and will be rig
IDLY prosecuted. Those who have need
lessly criticised the apparent delay in
the investigation of the postotiice scan
dals and in consequence hastily con-
demned the administration will now be
likely to wish they had not jumped to
lnwarranted conclusions.
Few have doubted that state of af-
airs existed in the postal department
that called for a general housecleanlng.
The Tulloch charges had the ring OF
truth. His allegations were supported
by the auditors books. He charged that
postal service funds had been drawn
Upon to pay expenses of politicians from
Indiana and Ohio and other friends OF
the officials. They We're sent on junk
cts to Cuba and Porto Rico, given sala-
ries and expenses merely TO afford them
a pleasant excursion. He further al
legged that First Assistant Postmaster
General Heath gave two women S6Vo
each annually, neither of whom We're
expected to report for Duty that MI
Heath made other improper appoint
ignored and evaded ana that salaries
we're illegally padded. He drew atten-
hon to an attempt to force all bonded

may have been influenced In making his
charges by his retirement from place.
but the arrest and dismissal of Machen
for malfeasance in office is Tulloch's
justification.
Mr. Machen character.zes his arrest
as a grand stand play" but he will
find few 10 accept the construction he
puts upon il. The peop,a generally will
demand a most thorough and complete
investigation Of the charges against
Machen ana all who are implicated In
this they will be supported by the ad-
ninistraion and the political organiza
ton behind it. The republican party
has never stood between criminals Of
whatever political utilization and justice.
1t has always been able and anxious 10
cleanse itself whenever such need has
arisen With Theodore Roosevelt at the
head of the administration the people
may rest assured that the guilty will be
sought out and punished.

OLD NEW HAVEN ELM.
Tree Planted on Day Benjamin Franklin
Died 10 &c Cut Down.

Experimental examination ol the ia
nous old Franklin elm, which stands
On the New Haven green at the inter-
section Of Church and Chapel streets.
the two busiest thoroughfares of the
city. has shown that within a few
months this noted landmark of the City
of E.lnls will have to be cut down. Old
age ana the entertainments of modern
METHODS OF paving sidewalks and streets
haze signed the death warrant OF this
fine old tree. which has been for over Il
century, oae of the features of New
Haven.
As far as local history shows. the
Franklin elm is the secocd Oldest tree
In the city. 1t was set out on April IL,
1870. by one 'Thaddeus }eecher, and as
its planting happened on the same day
or which Benjamin Franklin died, the
elm was named after him. When 1t
was set out The green. " public square,
which had been kent as IL was original
Is laid out in 1889, was nothing more
than a general market place and train
ing GROUND for the local coldiery. Where
TIE elm uoW stands was a public pigpen,
ard all sorts OF rustic bargains were
driven on the spot. There was a marsh
or sorgy piece of ground there, wher"
the cattle. owned by sarnus citizens,
carve 10 drink after feeding all day on
the rank grass of the s.tuare. and this
marsh had an outlet in a small brook
thl; ;rickled across Church street ana
southeast to the estuary that at that
ume ran up thru the city parallel to
George street to near York street. The
town pump AZ the present Gay stands on
This site, ana is a continuation of the
ancient custom OF the t.nrsty people of
the town shaking their thirst at the
place.
The Franklin elm itse,' WAS brought
into town by drunken rustic named
Jerry Allen who was In urgent need OF
more spirits, bat who di1 not have the
price in silver with which to buy his
lum. Allen logged the young elm In
from Ei.nlden on his back and offered 1t
tc Th;adous Beecher. who kept an ale
house and tavern where the Exchange
building now stands, for . fair return in
fiery fluids. Thaddeus Eeecher bought
the sarling for a pint of ram and imne-
diately set ii out on the green corner.
From that day 1t fou'i,hed and has

LACKING IN CHARITY.

Marshalltown, the convention city. is
always glad to welcome a representa-
tive gathering of representative men,
Such was the convention of third party
prohibitionists which has finished its
rot severe labors and dissolved. Its per-
sonnet was of high class of individual
citizenship. 1t might have been, so far
as outward appearances are concerned,
a ministerial conference. Its declara-
tions were characterized by calm and
dignified action. Perhaps the political
hopelessness and perfunctory nature of
its nominations contributed to its
peaceful and quiet sessions, which UNI
der different circumstances might have
developed more desire for the feshpots
Of political preference and awakened
larger emulation among aspirants for
nominations. Even church conferences
have been deadlocked and vestry poll
tics often grow actively emulous
Were not the honors Of a third party
nomination SO empty of actual posi-
bilities the late convention might have
lost in dignity and gained in interest
However it may deprecate the mex
pediency and sightedness of a
third party antagonizing, without hope
of success, the dominant organization
which has made and enforced legisla-
ton that leaves every community its
cwn arbiter of the liquor question, the
T.-R. is glad to bear witness to the evil
dent high character and apparent sin
certify of the men who composed the
state prohibition convention of 1903.
Most good men of whatever party
are temperance men. Mere political
affiliation fails to make men honest,
sincere or respectable. There are thou
sands of temperance voters in the dom
inant party whose sincerity of purpose
it is impossible to question with candor
These accept the radicals honesty while
questioning the wisdom of his course.
They are working toward the same I'LL
innate destination by another and, as
they believe, a shorter highway.
The third party proh,bitionist lacks
in charity without which ye are
become as sounding brass. With phari
saical absolutism he thanks God that
he is not as other men and insistently
condemns the motives Of every voter

If the property is liable under the
statute the council has no authority to

sentiment is such that local authority
cannot enforce the statute on the sub

Instances those best able to pay. the
owners of the most productive property
in the city. The big packers supply for
an example. Their property In Sioux

business in the state also; yet the as
sessment against them is merely nom
inal. Sioux City was so eager to &c.

every citizen of the town Of any prom

council to exempt the property of the
packers above a certain amount from
taxation for certain period of years
Had the power of assessment rested
