Practically Certain Grand Duke Mich.
ON Will Be Named.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-Although
an official announcement to the effect
is not expected Immediately, since it
will require some little time to get
Russia's second army in the field, the
designation of Grand Duke Nicholas
Nicholaicvitch, the inspector general
OF cavalry, as commander-in-chlei IS
regarded as practically settled. Some
of General kuropatkin's friends still
cling to the hope that he may yet be
appointed, especially il he now
achieves q notable success against
Field Marshal Oyama, but the idea is
not shared in the best Informed cir
cles. The situation at the front, with
two and perhaps ultimately three big
armies, is considered to demand above
all else that the supreme commander
be of such personal authority as to be
bcvord ~jcnlOusicS and the possibility
of intrigue on The part Of 5l!bOrdiMates
and such q man the emperor no"

RURAL FREE DELIVERY

Philadelphia Record.
What Il cool and monumental whop-
per! Is it really Il lack of knowl-
edge Or an op%ulencc.of campaign i'm
agination? AS a matter of fact Pres
ident Cleveland in his messages actual
ly opposed rural free delivery. Never
theless. congress made a small APP
preparation of $4,000 to test the
feasibility of establishing IL system of
free mail delivery in rural districts.
But Cleveland's postmaster general,
Mr.. Bissell. refused to apply it or
make the attempt. The appropriation
was renewed, and Mr.. Bissell's sue
cessor, Postmaster General William
L. Wilson, equally refused to use it.
1t was not until President Mckin-
ley's administration that any practical
attempt was made to organize rural
free delivery. and them the movement
was taken up so thoroughly, efficient
~ and faithfully that while he was
president about 5000 rural delivery
routes We're established, and the sys-
tenn was created and made as perma-
nent a part of the postal service as
free city delivery. There are now
more than 10000 routes in operation
and the whole work from the begin
ming has been done under Republican
administration. The Record must
have got it's information by way of

Northwestern Christian Advocate,
Sept. POI.
In holding large corporations to
strict accountability to the law the
president is serving the best interests
of those corporations. as well as con-
serving the welfare of the country. All
corporations which are operating on an
unlawful basis should be compclicG to
conform to the law. If they cannot or
will not they should go out of bust
ness. This. scM.r lave been forced by
the laWl"ss conduct of their promoters
and operators to Go, to the great los;
Of their stockholders. Many formerly
wealthy men arc now hrokcN in fort

They were connected were foriied anG

law would prevent, not promote, such
losses.
One OF the crying needs OF .Amcri-
ca today is such respect for the laws
Of the nation as the president has
shown. He did not make the laws. but
it is his duty to obey them. He has
set an example which ever.T citizen
should follow. If that he done. we
