PACKAGES IN LOCKER.
Bridgeport Letter Carrier Bound Over to Federal Jury on Several Charges Cash Involved g

Henry E. Keep of Bridgeport. em- ployed as a letter carrier, was bound over to the federal grand jury on Sat urday at New Haven by Commission CT Wright in bonds of $500 on the charge of enlbezzlement, and in de- fault of bail was remanded to jail. It is understood that the amount involved is only about $2, but that in connec- t1on with the charge of ernbezzlement several others such as delaying the mail and interfering with the despatch of registered mail, may be pressed.
 Keep has not been on the regular force long, but of late has been work ing at the East Side station, his route being among the foreign population living in the vicinity of Hallett street The allegation is that people of this class having registered mail to send entrusted it to him, he giving them a receipt for it. This mail he did not send, so it is alleged. and the state Inent that the discovery that some of these packages in his locker is what led to the arrest.
 The discovery was made on We'd nesday, resulting in his subsequent ar rest and arraignment before the Unit ed States commissioner Saturday, when he waived examination, so that the government presented no evidence to the court. The case will come up before the next federal grand jury

When the fremen arrived at the fire box the assemblage would never have been mistaken for an open-air prayer meeting.

The Pot Is Simmering.

We begin to hear many politi-
cal rumors that if they come true
will prove very interesting. The
one which is most interesting and
causing more talk is that candi-
date is out in the Fifth Ward for
the office of Sheriff, within the
ranks of the administration, In
opposition to the present incum-
bent, but there 10 also an under
current which says that the candl-
date has ventured out without any
authority, he came out of his own
free will without the consent of
the st. Martinvile bosses who are
supposed to dictate affairs in po-
litical circles of that faction, and
is is presumed that when they
will crack the factional whip and
order all faithful soldiers to that
political faction to fall in line,
that the young aud ambitious can
didate will have to come and sacri-
fee his political aspirations, be-
cause those in political authority
will have ruled that he is not the
logical candidate even if he is
from the logical sections of the
parish, and as a true and tried
friend of that faction, will not
continue to press his candidacy at
the risk of the faction.
Another rumor which is also
proving of interest is that the
Third Ward will have a candidate
for the office of Assessor, also
within the ranks of the same fac
ton as a promised reward for past
favors; but We cannot see, if the
rumor is based on facts, how can
they reconcile matters with the
present Assessor, will he step out
of the way? There is some doubt
about that.
| Another rumor in political cir
Gle is that st. Martinville is also
in the field with a candidate for
Clerk of Court within the ranks of
the Administration in opposition
the present incumbent.
If all these rumors come out
true and the different candidates
come together they are liable to
make things lively in defiance of
the ruling of the bosses.
As We have no interest in this
little political game we will watch
results and note events as they
turn up in the political shuttle
which will take place in no dis.
tant time.

What excuse have the misguided
mortals who are shrieking for free
trade in the United States to offer? All
the other countries protect their work
ingmen. their farmers and their manu-
facturers. Why should We sacrifice all
our natural advantages and bring on
another financial crash and era of soup

shouldn't. It might also be said that
we won't.

ically impossible and not to be thought

HoILAND FOR PRoTEOr4oN.

Many years ago it was predicted by
Golden, Gladstone, John Bright and
others belonging 10 the same school
OF politics that the whole world would
FOLLOW suit If Great Britain should
adopt the free trade ideas Of this
group of statesmen. The people of
England 'feI for it." so TO speak.
Today the United States, Germany.
France. Russia and Japan among the
great nations Of the earth are high
protective tariff countries-and there
are many smaller ones.
Even The Netherlands, which has
had free trade laws for two or three
generations. has. changed front and
will enact a protective tariff law. This
change has been brought about by a
vote Of the people. after a campaign
in which both sides Of the question
were fully discussed.
If any country in the world is
adapted to free trade, The Netherlands
is that country. It imports its bread
stuffs and depends upon foreign coun-
tries for food and other supplies. It's
raw materials for it's factories are i'm
ported.s its supply of manufactured
goods also come from abroad. Its i'm
ports are almost double its exports.
The Netherlands has six million peo-
pie crowded upon two million acres OF
arabic land, and its exports are large
ly dairy and garden produce. Here is
an ideal country for the working out
OF the Golden theory. The theory has
been worked out to the satisfaction of
the patient and Flooding Dutch burgh-
ers, and the country is preparing to go
upon a protective tariff basis.
1t has always been acknowledged by
the most ardent and irreconcilable
free traders that there was at least
the shadow Of an excuse for the adop-
ton OF the protective tariff system by
the United States and Germany. But
in countries like The Netherlands the
idea was simply ridiculous.
Free trade has been tried in the bal
ance all over the world and found
wanting. Even in England there is a
large and constantly growing senti-
ment IN favor Of protection. and 1t is
certain that the next time the con-
seryatives come into power q protec-

A NEW ALLOY.

A new metal. or rather alloy. has
been discovered in Sheffield. England
which is believed to be superior for
many purposes to anything heretofore
put upon the market.
The name OF this new alloy Is ''Du-
ralium." and, being slightly heavier
than aluminium, and as strong as
steel. it can be rolled. drawn, stamped.
extended. or forged at suitable temper
atures: II is less corrosive than other
high aluminium alloys under the usual
corrosion tests. and IT is only one
third the weight Of brass.
It is expected that the new metal
will find a steadily increasing demand
for aviation uses, while 1t is likely to
prove an important factor in the con-
struction of motor cars. owing to the
difficulty OF securing aluminium cast
ings sufficiently reliable not to break
under the strain of sudden Jars and
shocks caused by quick stoppages,
changes OF speed and jolts upon bad
roads.
We are continually adding to our
knowledge OF metals, but We haven't
as yet hit upon the method OF welding
copper used by the ancients. Some
cay probably by accident this long
sought secret Will be laid bare.

COST HIM Only $50.

IL cost Representative Serene E.
Payne, chairman Of the House ways
and means committee. and author Of
the tariff bill bearing his name, Just
$3.50 to secure a denomination at the
hands of the Republicans of the dis
trict which ne has so long and ably
served.
The $3.50 was spent for the print
ing Of notices calling attention to the
convention about to be held. Being a
statesman of the first water, it wasn't
necessary for Mr.. Payne to pay for
brass bands and fireworks in order to
announce the fact that he was willing
to run for Congress again. If he was
mere politician, perhaps It would be
otherwise.
Chairman Payne Is confident Of a
Republican victory this fall. and
hasn't the least particle OF doubt re-
garding the outcome in New York
Stimson by a large majority over all
competitors. This isn't merely an OPP
timistic opinion upon the part Of Mr..
Payne, for he always knows what he
is talking about, as the House Demo-
Gratis can eloquently testify.

WORK OF REFORMATION.

The delegates from the old world
countries to the international prison
congress. Just closed at Washington,
have fallen IN with the liberal ideas
held in the United States regarding
the treatment OF prisoners after We
hement opposition for thirty years. and
the result Is a series OF resolutions
along advanced lines
II is quite often asserted with more
or less warmth that We are too lenient
with criminals in this country, and
that kind treatment only serves TO
encourage the delinquents TO continue
their downward career. Be that view
OF the case true or not. it is certain
that those who hold the opposite opin-
ion are in the majority. and that the
effort to save instead OF punish will
not be abandoned.
In the case OF the utterly vicious
and depraved, the abnormals who can
not be reached by any kind treatment.
there is no dispute. But this class is
few in number when compared with
the great mass OF men and women who
are locked up for transgressing the
laws OF the land.
The work OF retaining these last
mentioned individuals is making prog
ress beyond all doubt. An expert
ment tried by the municipality Of
Kansas City Is worthy OF mention in
this connection. a farm being used a.

.FrppI.Na BOB" AGAIN.


''Fiddling Bob Taylor. at present
United States senator. has had the
nomination for governor thrust upon
him by the Patterson Democrats in
Tennessee. He was selected for the
slaughter, because he will retain his
senatorial toga after going down with
the wreck in November. and because
no one else would consent to make the
race.
As is well known, the present Dem
ooratio machine IN Tennessee is
doomed TO destruction. The murder OF
CarmRek by the COOpers and the par
don Of the actual slayer by Governor
Patterson was the climax OF a long
series OF outrages. The attempt OF
Patterson to defeat the members OF
the supreme court for reelection only
served 10 make 1t impossible TO heal
the breach in the Democratic ranks
that had already occurred.
The independent Democrats OF the
state men who became heart-sick
when they contemplated the depths
OF degradation to which the common
wealth had been dragged, held a con-
vention and nominated the honest and
upright judges who had refused TO soil
the judicial ermine at the command OF
Patterson. The Republicans rallied TO
man. and the first step was taken for
the redemption OF Tennessee.
Notwithstanding the triumphant
election Of the judges by the indie
pendents and Republicans, Patterson's
machine was strong enough TO again
force his nomination for governor. The
Republicans put up a sterling citizen,
Hooper by name, in whom the people
had confidence. The independent
Democrats were pledged 10 indorse the
Republican candidate, and fulfilled
their pledge.
Before their convention, however,
Patterson. knowing full well that
owing to the righteous indignation OF
the people he could not hope for re-
election, declined 10 run for the pur-
pose of vindication, and an effort was
made TO bamboOzle the. independent
Democrats into supporting some other
member Of the tough old gang. The
scheme failed to work.
Now, as a last resort, ''Fiddiing
Bob" who can play ''Sore-Heeled Sal
/ ly'' and the Devils Dream" as well
as any man in the Tennessee noun
tains, and is withal a story-teller OF
local repute, has been put forward as
last resort. Taylor fiddled his way
into the gubernatorial chair two OF
three times In the years gone by. but
even tho Pied Piper OF Hamelin
couldn't draw the voters of Tennessee
into the trap set for them this year.
