Let us consider the reasons of the casée.—Powell. | yr every recurring season, the magni- tude of our business be- comes more and more marked. There must be a reason for this. And the § WHY is—principally, at least, the WEAR. That’s what does it. That’s what tells the tale. Yowre pleased, and you come again. Besides, you men- tion the matter to your friends, and THEY come, too. You’re right. All good news ought to be told! Read some reasons, raked up at random: The Office Man says: “Browning, King & Co. “s Suits are as good as custom-made — even bet - ter cloth frequently —-and cost only one-half as much.“ The Mechanic says: Browning, King & Co. 's cheap- est suits are as dressy as I want, and when soiled they stand more solid work than any 1 can find.“ The Merchant says: Their clothing is very useful; and with us, you know, utility is the main thing,though of course the cost figures quite largely in it as well.’’ The Banker says: „buy my clothes of Browning, King & Co. because 3 tired of De- ing r Wa. —— ~ | r cent, and I Benet want one or two hundred.” The Laborer says: My reason for buying clothing of Browning, King & Co. is because one of their suits lasts mea whole year. A $10 suit is fine enough for Sunday six months, and then does for every day the other six. The Mothers say: We buy our boys’ clothing of Browning, King & Co. because it lasts. We don’t have to begin mend- ing the next day. It’s a genuine satisfaction to dress our children in such suits as we get there.“ ’Twill make you open your eyes to see our this season’s stock.

OU may be robbed, You may locate and capture the thief. You may secure his incar- ceration at the Four Courts. You may be morally sure he or bis confederates are in possession of your money. You may ex- pect a speedy trial and conviction of the criminal atthe bar of the criminal tribu- nals. If you do you will be disappointed. Here is a sample of Four Courts justice. It is taken from the doings of to-day. It will show how the very officers of the law defeat its enforcement. This is simply a case of grand larceny, a man accused of stealing $1,434. It is from to-day’s docket. It is a story ofa nine months effort to wear out a prosecution. Its opening chapter shows that even with the incentive ofa reward of $400 ofthe stolen money the police work was unsatisfactory. It establishes neither the guilt nor innocence of the prisoner, though the av- erage reader wili discover no Janus-faced facts that are sometimes met within the in- vestigation of great crimes. There was evidence enough to demand the holding of the prisoner. He was adjudged probadly guilty. What was done? Accused of stealing , 484. 50 he was released on a bond of $800. It only required two conferences with a saloon-keeper in the neighborhood of the Four Courts to arrange the little matter and the prisoner was released. A Grand-jury got hold of the papers, an in- dictment was returned, and Judge Normile on hearing of the matter ordered the rearrest of the defendant, raised the bond to $2,500, and since then the defendant has been in jail. Robert Lee Norman, now an inmate of the City Jalil, is the defendant. A HISTORY OF THE CASE. J. J. MeNally, a publisher of mercantile di- rectories, was Tobbed on March 12 last of $1,434.50. This money was in his trunk in a room be had rented from a Mrs. Linn, over Cappelli’s saloon, Fourteenth and Chestnut. Of this, $1,000 was in greenbacks, for the most part tens. The other denominations were twenties and fifties, Of the remainder, $390.50 was in —_ and $35° was in silver. The gold and silver was in socks atthe bottom of the wank; the greenbacks were near the top. In the gold wasan English sovereign which Mr. McNally had carried for twenty-six years, and on which was sein’ mark by which he could readily identi When Mr. McNally discovered his loss Be notified the police and gave the detectives a 2 lete description of the missing property, offering a reward of Mrs. Linn had a son living with her, Robert goid oo — of Jul eriegn for change but Van Raalte would not take it. The next day Mrs. Norman—Robert Lee Norman's wife—offered a sovereign Mrs. McCowan, who keeps a boardin house at 1210 Washington avenue, ayment for bo Mre. McCowan ad never seen a soveriegn before she sent her servant, Wm. Madden, with itto her grocer’s. The grocer refused to take it, and Mrs. McCowan then thought it was not good money. Mrs. Norman told her it must be good, and that her husband, Robert Lee Norman, had given it to ber the bight before. TRACING A SOVEREIGN When the police heard of this sovereign they arrested Norman. His wite was ques- tioned about the gold piece, and she told tue police she had gotten it from a person she did not know in exchange for silver, She denied having tried to pass it on Mrs. McCowan. Before the robbery of MeNally Mrs. Norman had been managing for her mother-in-law a house at 1003 Pine street. Immediately after the robber ry she secured a quantity of fine clothes and opened a furnished room house on her own account at the northeast corner of Chestnut and Fourteenth streets. Two weeks aftér the robbery Mrs. Linn sold out the house at 1003 Pine street, and the house at Fourteenth and Chestnut streets was established. Nor- man bought worth from 3 2 street cash bought we gola — in a few days and paid for them in gold. One was r ot Wm. Kranke, 2 for $55 d the other of Van ite for $26.50. Whea he bought the watch of Van Raalte be paid an account of $18.50 that bad long been due.

His Appointment Sent te the Senate by the Presideut To-Day—It Causes General Satisfaction—The New Justice, His Ca- reer and Accomplishments—QOther Can- didates for the Place—His Successor, WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The President to- Gay sent the following nomination to the gen- ate: Judge David J. Brewer of Kansas to be Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. ' The appointment of Judge Brewer to the Supreme Bench was réceived with expres- sions of pleasure by the lawyers who heve met im in the five years he has been Judge of the United States Cir- eule Court for this district. He has made so many friends in the city, and is 80 Wer admired by ell who have come to know him that bis success brought more Satisfaction than eculd the appointment of any other lawyer. e came to this cireuit-in March, 1884, with areputation whieh insured him great respect in his new nosition. He was Bnown to de a thoroughly hen- est and a thoroughiy fearless judge well asa sound lawyer. He had been for ourteen years on the Supreme bench of Kan- sas and knewledge of his capabilities had not en confined tothat State. Judge Samuel reat was then District Judge, but since that time he has retired and Jud Amos NM. bayer has been appointed and has oceupied the place, THE JUDICIAL OIRCUIT which hasfor five years en under Judge Brewer's supervision embraces the States of Missouri, Arkansas Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota - and the two Dakotas. His salary bas been $6,000 per annum, and from this sum he has been com- pelied to expend large amounts for traveling expenses. Notwithstanding the extent of his circuit, and notwithstanding the im- mense interests that have been in litigation in the courts of his circuitthe business has not been allowed to fall behind since Judge Brewer took hold of it. He is aremarka- ble worker, and wil! be a great addition to the Supreme Court, He has been known to leave St, Louis after four or five cases had been submitted, goto other points on the circuit, hear other cases, and return opinions the cases submitted here within In September, 1888, he heard argu- for and against the appointment of a receiver for the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway one day in St. Louis and the next day delivered an opinion in which all the questions of that very complicated question were reviewed and decided. Withina few months AFTER HE WENT UPON THE BENCH he was called upon to appoint receivers for the St. Louis, Wabash & Pacifie Railway, and during the time that road was in court had to decide many questions of great importance. In the course of this great litigation he added much te the law of recciver- ships. Beside this case there were very many other receiverships in his circuit which called for the exercise of much iearn- lng and were satisfactorily adjudicated by him. His decision in the district of lowa that the State could not confiscate the property of a brewer under the prohibitorv laW without 1 attracted a great deal of atten- on. Devid Josiah Brewer was bora in Smyrna, Asia Minor, June 20, 1837. His father, a Con- . minister, was at time of David's irth a missionary to the Greeks. During his infancy his parents returned to the United States and settled in Connecticut. David was educated in the schools of Hartford, East Hampton, Middle- ton and New Haven, Conn. He entered Wes- leyan University in 1851, and at the close of his junior year went ‘to Yale, entering as a junior, and graduated in 1856. One year was passed in the law office of HIS MOTHER’S BROTHER, DAVID DUDLEY FIELD, brother of Justice Stephen Johnson Field of the Supreme Court, in New York City,and then he entered the law school at Albany, N. Y. where he graduated in 1858. He settled in Leavenworth, Kas., ractice oflaw. His first position was that of nited States Commissioner, to which he was appointed in 1861. He was elected Judge of the Probate and Criminal Courts of Leayen- worth County in 1862, and in 1864 was made Judge of the First Judicial District of Kansas. He was President of the Leaven- worth Board of Education for a year and in 1866 be left the law to become Superintendent of the Leavenworth Publie Schools. He held this position three years and was then elected Prosecuting Attorney for Leaven- worth County. In 1870 he was elected Associate Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court for six years. He was re-elected in 1876 and again in 1882. In 1884 he resigned to aceept appointment at the hands of President Arthur to the position of United States Circuit Judge for the Kighth Circuit. JUDGE BREWER has had the active support of Senators Ingalls and Plumb, numerous personal friends and the influence of the Field family. The most strongly supported of the other candidates for the appointment was George W. McCrary, whom Judge Brewer succeeded on his appointment tothe United States ir- cult Court. Mr. McCrary resigned the Judge- ship to accept a more lucrative position as attorney for a eorporation. He has had in the presentation of his name for the Supreme Bench the support of his lifelong friends, Justice Miller and Secretary of the Interier Noble, as well as other men of prominence. Among others mentioned prominently for the ap- olntment were Henry Hitchcock of t. Louis, President of the Amer- joan Bar Asssociation, Secretary No- bie, Attorney- General W. H. H. Miller and Judge Walter Q. Gresham of Indiana. Knowing ones had conceded the appointment to Mr. McCrary. Two classmates of Judge Brewer—Judge Brown of Detroit and Jobn Mason Brown of Kentucky—have also been mentioned for the place. WORK AND COMPENSATION. Judge Brewer sueceeds the late Stanley Matthews and will probably have supervision of the Sixth Judicial Circuit as did Justice Matthews. This distriet in- ciudes the States of Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee. The compensation of an Associate Justice of the Supreme Oourt ia $10,000 per annum, This sum is not con- sidered large as the customary entertain- ments are very expensive. Judge Brewer is a Congregationalist in re- ligion, and was for many years Superintend- ent of a Sunday-schoolin Leavenworth. He is a Republican, not 4 fierce partisan. H a most companionable man, and is very fond of laying aside his judicial character to talk with people on their own level. He is thoroughly democratic and will probably create as much excitement as did biuff Samuel Miller when he was clevated to that bench. WHO JUDGE BREWER'S SUCCESSOR . as Oircuit Judge will be is a matter for eon jecture now. The position needs a jurist of reat force and caliber, and the tiends of many eminent gentlemen are already discussing chances. The position is tempting to a lawyer only because of Ite dig- nity, as the net eompensation is small indeed. and the incumbent must travel most ofthe year and work hard. Judge Amos M. Thayer WITH HIS UNCLE ON THE su- Ager 2a in 1859, and began the, y appointment He is and that is now eher as a bar to all chance of Scat to the Oirecult Judge- ship. Judge J. M. Love ofthe Southern Dis- trict of Iowa has also been mentioned, thouch it is thought his age will bar him, Judge Thayer would have the support of many publicans and the entire bar of St. Louis. What Is Said ot It at Washington. By Telerraph to the Post-Disraren. Wasuinoronr, D. O., Dee. 4.—The -nomina- tion of Judge Brewer to the Supreme Bench vacancy has caused a great deal of gossip among the lawyers thie morning. It had been intimated that either Judge Brewer or Jadge John Mason Brown of Lovisville, a brother of B. Gratz Brown, would receive the appointment. but it was not expected so soon. Speaking of Judge McCreary, Congressman Tarsney, his fellow townsman, said it would not be a disappointment tothe people of his olty that Judge MoUresty did not suce to the vacancy. Some intimations from Wash- ington had led them to believe that he had some show. They had got the next thing to it in Judge Brewer, who was a lawyer of constant practice, while Judge McCreary had been something of N Ex-Oongressman Clardy was pleased with the appointment and said it was a good one; that it would be a disappointment to Judge John Mason Brown, who had bis heart set oa the place. Henry Hitchcock of St. Louls, who wanted the position, is also named among those who will feel somewhat disconsolate; also Judge Spears of Georgia. THE MINNEAPOLIS FIRE. Story Told by the Elevator Man of the Barned Building. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 4.—The Journal prints to-day the story of Julius Miller, the day elevator man of the burned Tribune building, which throws a new light on the cause of the fire. Miller says that on Satur- day, the day of the fire, at 5p. m., he saw James W. Loftus, the night engineer, and his brother go into the vacant room on the third story, where the fire started. They lit matches and peered around. Miller told tnem to be careful with those matches or they might set the buliding aflre. Loftus was on the stand at the inquest yester- day, but said nothing about this incident in his testimony. C. A. Williams, Tribune, told his story on moraing. The Fund for Miles and Igoe.

LYNN, Mass., Deo. 4.—For the first time since the great fire it is possible to make a reasonably accurate canvass of the situation as it relates to the shoe industry. It appears that fully 60 per centof the shoe and leather houses of the city were burned out. The num- ber of shoe firms burned out was over eighty, while fifteen sole leather cutters and about sixty dealers in tops, stiffenings and other shoe findings were also burned out. A care- ful estimate ofioss on shoes shows (finished andin progress of making) a total of 12,000 cases, Vaiued, at a rate of $1 per pair as they run, at $750,000. This is considered to be rather an underestimate. An estimate on the loss in sole leather held in stock by sole-cut- ters and manufacturers is put at $500,000. Thais is principally of crop sole in sides and cut up, while the loss on heel, stiffening, inner- soling, te., will reach $150,000 more. R. F. Hilliard, who was entirely burned out, had on hand 10,500 sides of crop sole leather and 11,300 cases of cut soles valued in all at over $100,000, on which there was insurance of only $38,000. The loss on Morocco leather is placed at $360,000. The loss on machinery is estimat- $266 , 000 The taking out way of 80 many large shoe factories, if only temporarily, will tend to increase the business ofthe houses left, while the loss of stock, machinery, etc., which must be replaced, will have a strength- ening effect on the general markets. That the town will be built up at an early date is true, but the fire will have caused a temporary spreading of the immense shoe business of Lynn, and it now looks as if it may take some years to bring this business back. The La Grange Crossing Decision. CHICAGO, Dec. 4.—The decision of the Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners in the case of the Chicago & Calumet Ter- minal Ra lway Co. against the Chicago, Bur- lington & Quincy has been filed. The investi- gation of the Commission was made on the petition ofthe Chicago & Oalumet Terminal Railway Co., asking for an order under the act of July 1, 1889, allowing it to cross the Bur- lington’s tracks at a point in the village of La Grange, about fourteen miles from the Bur- lington’s Chicago Depot. The petition was resisted by the Burlington on the ground that a grade crossing at the pointin question would ‘‘unnecessarily impede and endanger the — and trausportation’’ upon that road. The commission made a careful investiga - tion into the matter and decidesthat the Chi- cago & Calumet Terminal Railway Co. has leave to cross with its tracks the tracks of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad at the oint designated in its petition on grade and evel with the tracks of the Burlington. This is on condition that it will, at its own ex- pense, set up and fully equip ready for use at that crossing the latest, best and safest inter- locking appliances, signals and devices, to- gether with electric annunciators,to announce the approach of trains. The commission finds that to compel the pe- titioning company to make an overhead or undercrossing, as desired bythe Burlington, would necessitate an increased outlay of over $100,000 at this crossing alone. If compelled to do this in the present instance, it would probably be compelled todo so with many other lines of roads across which its line is rojected. Todothis would perhaps cripple, f it did not entirely forbid the enterprise. WOE IN COURT. She Wants a Divorce and if It Is Not Granted She Will Beg From Door to Door Rather Than Live With Mr. Walsh—A Queer Couple—Other Divorces and Rulings. AST June a pretty and touching scene was witnessed in theChest- nut street corridor of the Cireuit Court, the principals in which were an aged couple, kissing and making up, while the court, a few feet away, was waiting to sever them forever on the petition of the wife. These parties were Mrs. Bridget Walsh and Richard Walsh, her husband. Richard Walsh is an old gar- dener, and during the ! war was an employe of Mr. Elleard, the florist. About twenty years ago, while in the hot-houses, a young daughter of Mr. Elleard waiked in and after prying around found a bottle of arsenic, which was used in killing insects on plants, On learning the nature of the drug she threw some in Mr. Walsh’s face to see if it would burn the flesh as he said it would. Walsh was disfigured for life, and later secured a judgment against Mr. Elleard for damages. Mr. Walsh went gar- dening for himself about 1870 out on the St. Charles rock roud, and in 1873 met the present Mrs. Waish. Though disfigured she fell in love with him and they were soon married, He cultivated the garden and she sold the vegetables at the market. They lived happily, and the little farm was quickly paid for. According to Mrs. Walsh’s petition for d. vorce, filed a year ago, she said the demon rum took up quarters on the premises if AND TROUBLE BEGAN. He threw cabbages, carrots, turnips, pota- toes, dishes, knives, shoes, coal and earth at her—not all in one heap, she stated, but at sundry and varioustimes. When she entered suit for divorce she left her husband and se- creted herself with friends and neigh- bors in Elleardville. The littie old man, repenting when he found himseif aloneonthe farm,and in his endeavors to find her went weeping trom door to door among the neighbors and asked if anyone knew where she Was hid. He neglected his farm, weeds grewupand choked the lettuce and other vegetables, but Walsh cared not, he was overwhelmed with grief over his conduct towards his wife when she was with him, and now he wanted to find her and be forgiven. When she learned that he was moping about the farm and weeping for his lost Bridget, she said: ‘‘My poor Dick. My voor, dear Dick. He's as good 4nd lovin“ a husband as ever broke bread. I will go back to him.’’ Her friends with whom she was stopping would not allow her to go, however, and she wept bitter tears. Her attorney, John D. Johnson, finding she had no funds, filed a motion for alimony in her petition for divorcee, and a day WAS SET FOR HEARING. Mr. Walsh was informed that he was wanted at court and knowing he wouln meet his wife there be called at the Court- house several hours before court opened and moped about the halisand corriders untilllo’ciock when he spied his wife coming in the Chestnut street entrance. He rushed up, threw his arms around her neck and drawing her head down kissed her fervently and repeatedly on the cheek. She re- turned his caresses and both way They drew aside into 4 little recess, and for half an hour they stood hand in hand kissing and caressing each other and talking the matter over. He begged for forgiveness, and she made him promise he would behave if she would return, and hedidso. It was then thought the case would be dismissed, but the attorneys who knew the parties refused to dismiss the case and had it continued until the December term. It came up to-day for trial, and about thirty witnesses were present to testify as to the treatment of wife and husband on both sides. W. B. Thompson represented Mr. Walsh and John D. Johnson represented Mrs. Walsh. Mrs. Walsh was put on the stand, and at times, in the recital of her wrongs and abuses, she became very dra- matic. She told what a terrible temper her little husband possessed; how, when enraged, there would be A STORM OF VEGETABLES and other movable articles in the house. She said he buried money in the house, in the fields and sheds, and wasvery stingy. He cursed and abused her, and once dragged her onasofa and threatened to take her life and then takehis own. Haifan hour later they kissed and made up, and again the next day he became so furious that she was compelled to call in the neighbors to pacify him. She then left and never returned to him. When asked if her husband had offered her his home again she admitted he bad but said: „Iwill never live with Dick Walsh again. No; never. I would sooner beg. You can send me to the penitentiary, but would not live with Diek Walsh again for all this world. I would sooner dle, as it would be but a livin death to share his home with bim again. would prefer to begfrom door to door than lead the Ife I led with Dick Walsh over again.’’ Mrs. Walsh can neither read nor write, but is a fluent and correct talker. When started she could fill a book without a gasp for breath, and the cours assumed the duty of cutting her off short after answering the questions. The trial will take up the day and some dramatic scenes are looked for when Mr. Waish is put on the stand and under the fire of Mr. Johnson’s cross-examination. Other Divorce Suits. Judge Valliant granted a decree of divorce to Mrs. Ellen M. Monroe against Menzo D. Monroe. They were married in March, 1870, and lived together until August, 1889. During their married life, she says, be cursed and abused her. Once, when suffering with delirium tremens, she states, he rusbed out of the house at 2949 Easton av- enue and ran around the house beating in the doors and windows. He threatened to cut his own throat and threatened to kill her untél she could no longer tolerate it and left. A divorce has been granted Mrs. Lydia Mor- ton from Charlies W. Morton, by Judge Dillion. Thev were married in Sacramento, Cal., in October, 1887, and after moving to St. Louis, she says, he beat and assaulted her. Amanda Hartman secured a divorce Arthur R. Hartman on the ground of deser- tion. They were married in 1886 and separated in 1887.

Four Men Killed. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Dec. 4.—A shocking ac- cident occurred at 6:30 o’clock this morning at the Hazle street crossing of the Jersev Cen- tral Rallroad. The labor train which conveys workmen from the city to the, company’s shops at Ashley was due at the Hasle Station and several hundred men were assembled waiting for iu. A number of them walked up the track a short diatance to meet the train and secure good seats. Suddenly a fast freight from the south approached at a high speed. The men mped from the north-bound track to the south bound, when the labor train, rushing around a sharp curve, plunged into their midst. In their scrambling many were thrown down or against the two trains. The men were struck by tne freight and two by the labor train. Benjamin Polsue, aged 60, instantly killed, leaves a wife but no chfldren.

A Dispute Between a Barkeeper and a Shoe Man Ended With Bullets—Conflicting Statements as to Important Details—The Wounded Man’s Struggle te Live-Au- chue’s Story—An Indignant Father. OE BILD, a ee por employed at Bud - — Welser saloon on Sixth street near Lo- cust street, was shot last night by Marshall Theodore Auchue, managet of the shoe department of Frank Bros’, big dry goods — establishment; The shooting occurred at about half past 6 o'clock. Hild was leaving the bar to go home, his wateh having ended. Auchue approached bim and asked pe rmission to go into the ladies’ res- taurant to see a ‘friend. The bar- keeper ‘refused to give permission, telling Auchue that the rule of the place barred men unaccompanied by women from that portion ofthe house. The men diseussed the matter a few moments and exchanged hot words, but did not raise their voices, so no one about the place knew that a quarrel was in progress. . THE FIRST INTIMATION OF TROUBLE the employes about the place had was the dis- charge of three bullets from a revolver by Auchue. The shots were fired in rapid sue- cession. One ball struck the outer point of Hild’s right shoulder, penetrating the coat bug not even scratching his skin. Anothér ball struck Hild in the left breast alrectly over the heart. The other ball went wide. Hild fell, and Fred Schmidt, a barkeepeér, who nt been behind the bar when the shoot- ing began, ran out after Auchue who, point- ing the revolver at Schmidt, retired to the door of the saloon. He escaped, but was fol- lowed by employes of the Budweiser to Seventh and Olive streets, where Patrolman Mossman arrested him. Hild was taken to his parents’ residenee on North Fourteenth street, where Dr. = * Bernays attended bim. It wag found thac the ball haa penetrated the right lung and had emerged atthe back of the right shoulcer. Itwas a very serious wound and required careful attention. Auchue on being locked up at the Chestnut street station said his name was John W. Smith. In his pockets were found letters ad- dressed to Marshall T. Auchue, 1520 Lucas place, and in care of Frank Bros. Later in the evening HE ADMITTED HIS NAME was Auchue. He hed hoped to escape notoriety by the assumption of an alias, but realizing that it would be impossible to carry this plan through successfully he told bis name and ad- Gress. Word reached the police that Hild was in danger of death, and Auchue was taken to the wounded man to be identified. As the police entered the house with the risoner, the father of the wounded man tried o get to Auchue, against whom de hurled fearful curses. He was restrained with Greet difficulty and was narrowly guarded uring the time Auchue was in the house, The wounded man identified Auchue, who was then removed tothe Four Courts. He was seen in the holdover at the Four Courts this morning and gave the fellowing account of the shooting: 1 had just quit work and was going to supper. I stopped in the Budweiser to see a friend who had told me he would meet me there. I do not want to give his name as be has a good position and would be greatly bothered if connected with my case now. I did not see bim in thesaloon, nor in the men’s restaurant, and as I thought it quite likely that he had picked up some giri asked a walter if I could go in the ladies’. reataurant to look for my friend, He said be didn't know and referred me to another waiter and he referred me to this barkeeper Hild. I asked Hild if I could and he answered very gruffly no. I told him Iwas a frequent customer of the house and he might do me that favor. He said if 1 was a frequent customer I ought to have sense enough to know that it was against the rules formen unaccompanied by women to go in there. I don't know what else we said, but he came out from behind the bar, and 1 thought he was goingtowhipme. I told him that I didn’t Insist upon anything, that I didn’t wantto sointhere. He said, ‘You’re a liar, you do insist,’ and then he struck me a giancing blow along the left side of my head, THE REVOLVER. . ‘Il was rearsnaging my clothes in the drawers of my bureau Sunday, andtame across my revolver, The table and chairs were coy- ered with clothes and I slipped the revolver overcoat pocket. ILleft it there, and esterday morning, after breakfast, felt it as was putting on my overcoat. I was late and did not stop to put the gun back in the drawer but hurried down to the store. That is how came to have it with me last night. * ‘*When Hild struck me I pulled the revolver from * evereoat pocket and fired. I didn't aim at all and I don’t know which of the shots struck him. He is a big man ana I knew I would have no show if he got hold of me. I am sorry Ishot now. I would rather have reer whipped. Do you think he’ll get over t Auchue says bis home is in New York City, where his mother now lives. He cameto St. Louis from Chicago nine months ago and ob- tained employment with O. W. Parrish, shoes, Seventh and Olive streets. Four months ago he went to Frank Bros. as manager and buyer intheir shoe department. He says he has friends who are looking after his case and will secure a lawyer to defend him. THE ONLY WITNESSES ofthe shooting were Fred Schmidt and Joe Dollus and a boy, who can throw no light on the preliminaries of the shooting. Their tes- timony begins at the time the first shot was fired. They beard no angry words and did not see any biows struck. They deny that Hild struck Auchue. The wounded man is so weak that his phy- sician has forbade all excitement or taik 8 Last night he made the following state- ment of the affray to Dr. Bernays: The man came in and wanted to go into the ladies’ walting- room. I told him that he could not go in because it was against the rules ofthe house. He then commenced quarreling with me, and 1 told him not to fuss here. He then put his hand in his right overcoat pocket and felt for ne pyre. Then one word brought on another, and 1 grappled with bim. Imme- diately afterward he drew his revolver out of his rigbt side overcoat 1 and fired three shote at me. Then iran into the dining- room. Hild ts 28 years old and unmarried.

HE strike of th Rock Church choir has not been settled, but there is said to des probability that it will be before Sun- day. Thechoristers are very reticent about the trouble, and refuse to dis- it at all, but there has been 80 — talk in the parish on the subject, that gradually the real causes of the sing- ers’ action are becoming known. Inthe first place, it seems that the choir as much disappointed when Prof. Dubuque was selected as organist. Prof. Otten or Prof. Kissel was preferred. There was, however, it issaid, no unfriendly feeling toward Prof. Dubuque, and the choir was willing to do just as well for bim as they would for one of the two organists whom they had preferred to see Mr. Wyman’s successor. Prof. Dubuque, it is claimed, showed a disposition not to accord them the consideration which their past ' gervices deserved and that was the origin of the disagreement. The cause of the strike, however, it was learned to-dey from a member of the congre- gation was not due directly to the disagree- ment with the conductor, but to a letter which the rector, Rev. Father Neithart, sent to one of the leading singers of the choir, after the first publication of the status of affairs. The rector, it is said, accused this of being the disorganizer of the choir and upbraided bim severely. " Aas the accused was entirely innocent of any responsibility for the publication, he felt very much aggrieved and it was on ac- count of the injustice done him that the rest of the singers concluded to no longer afford their services. THE SINGER mentioned as having received the most severe note from the rector was sought to-day and asked whether the report was true, but while not denying that he had received an epistle of the character indicated, he refused positively to discuss the matter. The trouble Was agitating the priests and the parish very much and he did not wish to augment the agi- * tation by giving out any further facts about it. In case the trouble is not amicably settied, there is some talk of the entire choir going to another church, Asthe choir was the best volunteer choir in the city other churches would be giad ofsuch a chance to improve their music. The masses sung in the Catholic churches are as difficut asl most of the grand operas, and 822 singers who are able to sing a number of tuem, and sing them excellently well, are in demand, and especially when they are willing to give their services without remuneration. PROF. GILSINN TALES. Prof. M. A. Gilsinn, organist of St. Xavier's Church choir, writes to state that he regrets that his name h een mixed up with the Rock Church choir-croubie. He does not deny thut he loaned his principal singers to Prof. Dubuque to take the piace of the latter’s strik- ing cboristers, but says the members of St. Xavier’s choir have a right to go where they please for the glory of God.“ One statement, hovever. that the Professor does take objection to in the article giving an account of the trouble in the Rock Church choir and headed Singers on a Strike, is that there was a dearth of singers in St. Xavier’s choir because three of tne principal sopranos, the principal alto and two tenors were loaned to Prof. Dubuque for the day. It was a reasonable presuinption that when five of the leading singers were taken from achoir a short time before the mass begun that thechoir would be crippled, but Prof. Gilsinn’s resources, it seems, ere illimitable, for, notwithstanding the generous supply of singers he sent Prof. Dubuque, he was able to givea full mass Service at his own church, with the following excellent singers: Sopranos, Miss Ella Me- Kenna, Miss Ella Covington, Miss Mary Macdon- ald, Mrs. E. Lami; altos, Miss Jos Cornet, Mies Sallie Guyre and Miss Mary Freil. Ten- ors: Messrs. Chas. H. Fitzgereld, Ed D. Con- cannon, Emile A. Becker, Angelo Gilsinn and Louls Stumpf. Bassos: Messrs. Anthony A. Schuck, Jas. M. Mulholland, Aqolph Geh- rung and Harry Hermsen. As the Professor remarks, this was ‘‘enough for a festival service even in a church where there is a property claim on solos.’’ HE GOT THE MONEY. While investigating the Rock Church choir trouble a Post-DISPATCH reporter learned a somewhat interesting fact and that is that there is only one paid Catholic choir in the city. This is in a church in the southern part of the city. The rector of this church has very strong ideas on this subject, as was shown by an occurrence in his church some time ago. His choir had always been paid, he taking the grounds that bad music was dis- tracting and good music was worth money. The congregation made the appropriation for the choir for a year or more, but finally some of the members objected to doing so on the grounds that no other Catholic church con- gregation remunerated its singers and they did not see why they should be an exception, especially asthey were not by any means the wealthiest congregation in the city. hey went to the rector and informed him of their views. He said that it was all right if they did not wish to pay for the singing it Could be dispensed with, it was not in any Way necessary to the service but mere- ly a beautiful adjunct. They said they had no intention of doing away with the music en- tirely but they thought volunteer singers could be secured. The rector very tersely said: No, we must have good singing or no singing at all. They tried to argue with bim but he was inexorable. The Catholic music 1 1 he said could not be properly given except by trained voices, aud he did not propose to bave auy bawlers. It cost both/time and money to cultivate the voice, and as a matter of principle it was no more right to ask a per- gon gifted with a good voice which has been trought to a degree of perfection only by much effort and often the expense of a good deal of money, thun it was to ask a person with an educated mind to give you the benefit of it continuously and without compensation. He got tne appropriation, and his choir, which is only a quartet but is composed of trained singers, is the only paid Cathclic Church choir in the city to-duy. ‘Midgets’ and ‘‘Kipfels.’’ Nice for parties.

For those who are desirous of SIX HUMAN BODIES. Half a Dozen ‘‘Subjects” in the Ruins of the Beaumont College Cause a Sensation. The ruins of the old Beaumont Medical Col- lege have narrowly escaped being the cause of a thrilling and horrible story of corpses and ghosts and awful things in plenty. The rumor started this morning, and spread rapidly all over the city, that under the debris.in the old building were six human bodies, not of people who had lost their lives when the building burned, but bodies which had been taken to the college for the purpose of dissection before the fire. The people in the neighborhood heard the story and they were prepared to make a sensation of it. If the shades of evening had fallen upon that report and a solitary small boy had seen the shadows grow and creep about the lonely brick walks of the deserted place the morning would have brought terrible tales of uncanny ghosts and un wholesome spectres. The youthful imaginations have already been wrought up, and to-day boys were point- ing to spots about the river where bodies are supposed to be. When the neighbors heard the reports they were somewhat excited, and many of tbe old ladies taiked about it with much interest and earnestness. They said there was a case of typhoid fever near there, and they had been wonder- ing where it came from, but now they knew; it was those horrible mortifying bodies that had caused it and they ought to be removed. It was a shame, in- human, to leave them there, an outrage to let them lie under the debris. They ought to be taken out and buried at least, and if it wasn't done the men and fathers who live there ought to go tosee the Board of Health about it. A street inspector was told of it, and when he went back to the City Hall reported it to the Board of Health, but they ‘‘gave him the laugh’’ there and he dropped it. Dr. Moore of the college corps, who has been visiting the ruins regularly ever since the fire, was found this morning and asked if there was any truth in the report. Dr. Moore laughed and asked how many bodies were said to be there, and the answer was six. „Well, said Dr. Moore, sometimes there have been more and sometimes less than six. You see, when the college burned, th e box which contained the subjects was unMjured. It had subjects in it at the time, and we left them there because we had no other place to keep them. We have been using them out of there and some new ones have been put in, but the piace is aljright. The box is properly watched and enclosed and it is always locked and nalled. It is kept constantly supplied with plenty of ice and there is no reason to com- plain of it at all. We have to keep our sub- jects there for we have no other place, but there are none under the debris or anywhere except in the ice box.’’ North St. Louis, Next Friday night Harry P. Harding Post, G.

HERE were two cases dooketed against Chas. H. Ellis in the Cripi- nal Court this morn- ing. Both were for burglary in the frst degree and larceny. Eine was in a bad box and got out the dest a, way possible by plead- fing guilty to one 4a count, on which Judge Y' Normitle sentenced him to three years in the penitentiary. A nolle prosequi was entered by the Circuit At- torney in the other actian. Ellis seems to be a hard nut. According to his own admission he is a house burgiar, the most dangerous of all the types of profes- sional thieves. On October 8 he entered the residence of Eugene J. Nelvilie, 1524 La Salle street, by breaking the fastening of a window and stole two gold watches and chains, one gold stud and $26 in money. His other attempted escapade was more daring but less successful. On the night of ‘October 4 it is alleged that he broke the shuttter and ENTERED THE ROOM Grant, living at 8l4 North 14th he was engaged in ransacking the room the occupant awakened. Before she could scream the in- truder had her by the throat, and by dint of threats and violence stified her cries of alarm. He then pulled a revolver from his pocket, placed it at the frightened woman’s head and demanded her money. She had a small amount in ber pocket which she handed out. The intruder seemed to know that she had more, however, and choked her until she re- vealedthe hiaing piace of $47. This he took and made his escape, leaving his victim sense- less. When the woman called at the Four Courts to identify Ellis she fainted dead away at the sigh t of him and went almost into bys- torlos when she recovered. Ellis may well congratulate himself on the leniency shown him. FOR HIS NATURAL LIFE. ‘If Houston Méntgomery is not the victim of a legal confidence game, his friends have blundered most woefully. Acting under the impression that he was to receive a sentence of ten years in the penitentiary, he yesterday pleaded guilty to the charge of murder in the second degree when arraigned in the Carter County Court. On receiving this plea, how- ever, the Court sentenced Montgomery to im- prisonment for life. The prisoner is now confined in the St. Louis jail, e is on his way to Jefferson City in charge of Sheriff Munger and will leave the city to-night. He tells a strange story and says: I have been grossly misrepresented. I had retained Attorney Charles P. Jobnson of St. Louis to defend me, and had also engaged an attorney in Van Buren to look after that end ofthe case. When Iwas taken from the St. Louis jail to Carter County on last Monday for trial Mr. Johnson could not go with me on account of other business. He told me to tell the attorney down there to take a coange of Fanny street. While The case was then to be set some time next spring in another county when he thought he would be ready to make the fight. When I got to Van Buren the attorney and afriend of mine came to me in my cell. They told me I was in a bad fix, and the attorney advised me to take a plea. i asked him what good that would do me, and he said that if I would plead gulity to the charge of murder in the second degree he would get me a sentence of ten years in the enitentiary. I told bim I was tired of my all imprisonment, but did not want to go to the penitentiary, as I was not guilty. He told me 1 was liable to hang if I did not. I was about out of money, 80 I told him that I would take the plea. The next morning I was TAKEN INTO COURT. The attorney was there. When the indict- ment was read I was asked whether or not I was guilty. He got up and said he would withdraw my plea of not guilty to murder in the first degree, and plead guilty to murder in the second degree. The State’s Attdrney, Mr. John C. Brown, then said a few words to which I paid but little attention. Judge Ware told me to I did s0. Then he had anything to say before sentence was pro- nouncéd. I told himI had not. He then sen- tenced me to imprisonment inthe peniten-, tiary for the rest of my natural life. To say that I was surprised when I was sentenced is putting it but mildly. I was thunderstruck and speechless. I went back to my cell with my brain in a whirl and my frame shaking as if palsied. The Sheriff tried tocheer me up but I was stunned and almost lifeless. My at- torney came to see me again and I was brought to St. Louis to-day.’ If Montgomery’s story is materially true the sentence of the Carter County court will most certainly be reversed. Attorney Charles P. Jonneon thinks so. Mr. Johnson was seen in regard to the matter and said: ‘*Montgomery tells a very straight story, and Iam going to investigate this thing. If that man pleaded guilty to murder inthe second degree while laboring under the im- pression that he would be sentenced for ten 8 he certainly is entitled to a new trial. first took the case in February last, but was unable to attend this trial. I told Montgomery to have the attorney there take a change of venue and was first apprised of the course things had taken in a pitiful note which Montgomery sent me from his ceil this morning. community. THE ORIME. Montgomery was charged with the murder of his nephew, Jack Buniard, whom he snot and instantly killed in Carter County on Feb- ruary 8, 1888. Both men were farm- ers and had had some trouble in regard to money matters. They met at Montgomery’s home on the day men- tioned, a fight ensued and Buniard was shot. Montgomery pleads that Buniard had choked him, had him down, and was in the act of striking him with an uplifted club when he fired the fatal shot. However that may be, Montgomery was tried in the Carter County court. On February 8, 1889, just one year trom the date of the killing, he was convicted of murder in the first degree and sen tenced to hang. March 8, 1889, was the day set for the execution, Montgomery was brought to the St. Louis ja for safe keeping. Before the date set for his death he interested Attorney Charies P. Johnson in the case. Mr. Johnson found legal injustices cnough to ass ure him ot a reversal. He learned that the — 4 when delivering his instructions to the ury had told them tnat if they found the de- fendant guilty of murder in the first degree they were to so report, but were not to fix any ‘punishment. Should they find him gujity of any lower degree of murder they were to fix the unishment. The jury, it appears, bad found ontgomery guiity of murder in the first de- gree, but returned a verdict which read: We, the jury in the above cause, find the, defendan@muilty.’’ And it was on this verdict that the urt sentenced the defendant to death. Mr. Johnson took the matter before the SaGpreme Court. On June 24, 1889, the sentence was reversed and the case re- manded for further trial. Montgomery tells his story in straight- forward and almost eloquent language. He isa Kentuckian and apparently well educated.

While this is true ina measure, sc ill, when it is remembered that the companies have sixty daysin which to pay losses, the marketing of a few millions of se- curities, especially those of the better ciass, which are what the companies would be likely to realise upon, is nota very serious matter. A heavy, portion of the loss falls upon strong forcign companies, who, having large assets in this country, are not likely to draw upon their home offices to any important extent. The decision against Chicago Gas Trust and the decline in its certificates weakened other trust securities, which have now practically cut loose from the stock market proper and seem likely to continue their erratic course alone. So far as concerns railroad stocks, at least, confidence is inclined to revive, and with excellent reason. Current reports of earnings demonstrate that nearly all the great systems, if not positively prospervus, are doing much better than a year ago. Many of the roads are oo ee large amounts from earnings r fixed improve- ments „rolling stock, etc., which will add to their earniug capacity; and yet in spite of these drains upon gross earnings the net re- turns are exceedingly satisfacto The sig- nificant feature of thie is, that the gains are more due to the ineresbed volume of traffic than to any advance in rates, thus confirming the satisfactory trade reports received from other sources. The monetary situation offers less cause for uneasiness. Firm rates are not improbable, 6per cent for six months’ time loans bein paid, The firmness of money here will ten to check gold exports, which are always used to depress stocks, often in an exaggerated degree, Atthesame time the demands upon London, particularly from Brazil and Argen- tine, are likely to continue urgent; and these demands will have to be somehow satisfied.

Perhaps the most important points as affect- ‘Ing Canadians are the intimations that the matters in dispute relating to the fisheries are in abeyance or in course of amicable adjust- ment, and that a new treaty with Great Britain had been negotiated.’’ The Empire (Conservative): ‘‘Itis altogether not a sensational message, though several questions which are treated with reticence, may afford scope for much debate in Congress and may lead to action not immediately fore - shadowed.’’ The Mail (Independent) says: ‘‘As far as Canadians are concerned, the most interest- ing portion of President Harrison's message to Congress is that relating to the trade policy of his administration. The Mail recently had occasion to tell its readers that this policy was such as to preciude ali hope during the present Republican regime of any such trade arrangements as have been so fully discussed in both countries of late. The message bears us out in this. It is. in fact, iittie else than a repetition of the propositions laid down in the Republican platform adopted at Chicago last year.’’ What the New York Papers Say. New YORK, Dec. 4.—In ite review of the President's message the Times says: It is natural enough that a mind capable of composing so dull a message should be imcapable of rightly ==appreciating its own work. Asa mere reference index to the public business the message may have some value in Congress and newspaper offices, but if it records the evidence of the time it throws no light upon them, and while it refers to acknowledged evils it suggests no proper remedies. President Harrison’s message must be accepted as-the measure of the man. He has already been pretty accu- rately measured by the people of the country and dy none more accurately than by eandid members of his own party. Even his few pro- fessed admirers will find nothing in this mes- sage to justify any lingering belief that they may have that he has native capacity or ac- acquired competence to guide the national policy with firimness or intelligence. The policy he complacently announces and ap- proves is to ‘let things dritt. The Sun says: ‘‘The wearied eye passes from paragraph of geographical, historical and statistical statement and platitudinous com- ment. The message is amorphous. Long as it is it might have been twice as long on the same principle of construction and neither more nor less valuable. Or the whole of it might have been left unwritten without the slightest detriment.to the peace and honor of the country orthe prosperity and security of the people and without the slightest loss to the Fifty-first Congress, now assembled for the business of legisiation. The message is a disclosure, and what it discloses is a Presi- dent without ideas and an administration without a policy.’’ The Tribune says: ‘‘President Harrison’s first message isa plain, candid and entirely unpretentious review of public affairs. Its most striking characteristic is an absence of pretense, exaggeration ar rhetorical flourish, and there is no attempt to enlargs upon es- pecial topics for the sake of catching tempor- og d popular applause or partisan advantage. It has the tone throughout of conscientious strength and sincerity and of profound con- viction that the ple will unwaveringly sustain the national policies to which they gave approval by their votes one year ago. The WORLD says: ‘‘The leading character- istics of the President’s message are its un- hesitating advocacy of centralization and paternalism in Government and its blandly unconscious assumption that the Republican party isthe Republic. In these respects the message is in close conformity with the atti- tude and tendency of the party which made Mr. Harrison President. The Herald says: ‘‘President Harrison’s message is a plain business document, well- written and making recommendations strictly in the line of the Republican platform.’’ THE Pan American delegates Get Flap Jack“ gems upon their plates.

Increased appropriations for pensions, for diplomatic and for judicial salaries, for the urmy-and navy and the post- office; big appropriations for new men-of- war, for a new Americdn-built naval reserve of merchant vessels, for steam- ship subsidies, for coast fortifications and for training the militia in the defense of the same; liberal appropriations for the education of the negro, with costly new machinery for the protection of his civil and political righte—these are the sug- gestions with which President HARRISON illustrates his campaigti idea that it is far easier to deal with a 9 than with a deficit.’’ Less than half of the suggested increase of expenditure would suffice to wipe out a much larger surplus than our taxpayers have ever yet complained of. Such a pro- gramme fully carried out will require not only the $30,000, 000 produced by the tobacco tax and prevent a repeal of the tariff on sugar, but will require an increase of tariff revenue. Instead of raising the tariff to exclude imports and diminish revenue receipts the Republicans will have to raise more reve- nue by reducing the tariff to increase im- ports, and will thus be compelled to throw the ‘‘protective principle“ over- board. Even the pampered beneficiaries of the tariff must see that this programme will run the largess policy aground. — . — — A “BAR’L” AND AN APPETITE. There is a great deal of private talk on the question whether FRANCIS wants VEST’s seat in the Senate or not and there is a remarkable consensus of opinion that he has ‘‘cleared for Cowes and a mar- ket,’’ or in other words is steering for anything he can get in the way of polit- ical promotion. Thathe is trimming his sails to catch every anti-Vest breeze is ap- parent throughout the State wherever there is any anti-Vest feeling. But there is so little of it that to keep the little Francis bark from being swamped for- ever under the great tidal wave of VEST’Ss popularity requires a great deal of skill- ful navigation and finesse. So the Francis men are soothing the Vest men with the pretty little tale that FRANCIs’ little attempt to capture the Democratic State Committee and divers and sundry other tactical maneuvers have reference to something beyond the next Senatorial election, and relate in fact to the securing of a Francis delega- tion to the next National Democratic Con- vention, wherein a complimentary vote for FRANCIS may secure him a cabinet of- fice, and the ultimate succession to a seat inthe Senate when vacated by the death or, voluntary withdrawal of VEST or COCKRELL. Between the lines of this story the peo- ple can plainly read the programme of an ambitious, scheming man with a barrel, with an unbounded stomach for office and political promotion and with but little scruple to restrain his restless self-seek- ing. Itis a programme that takes no note of the claims of BLAND, DOCKERY and other older and abler party wheel- horses, and it takes no note of the har- mony and interests of the party. It means the loss of St. Louis to the party if it means nothing else. Ability to carry mortgages for embarrassed newspapers and to extend accommodations to politi- cians in financial straits can not always carry elections in this State. ę—C—ꝛ—œ— — 2x2 — — PRESIDENT HARRISON in his message de- clined to commit himself to Wpou's plan of soothing the preducers of silver, and a similar reserve may be expected on the part of alarge majority of Congress- men. The plan simply proposes to stop the compulsory coinage of silver and to com- pensate the mine owners by making the Government the purchaser of thgir whole output of bullion, which 1s to be taken at the market price, and paid for in Treas- ury notes, redeemable on demand in gold coin, in silver dollars, or in an equivalent of silver bullion, at the option of the Gov- ernment, the bullion to be paid out at the market price on the redemption date. As this plan maintains the constantly appre- ciating gold standard and means a cessa- tion of silver coinage, it will not satisfy the silver men. As it means paper money inflation it will hardly suit the gold men or the banks. —_— - THE New York WORLD has polled Con- gress on the question of the location of the World's Fair. According to its list St. Louis is a bad fourth among the four competitors for the prize, receiving only 22 votes out of a total of 331 Congressmen to New York’s 48, Chicago’s 67 and Wash- ington’s 36, the others being non-commit- tal. The natural advantages are all in favor of St. Louis and the citizens have responded promptly and liberally to the appeal for subscriptions to the guarantee fund. As neither the location nor the people are at fault for this bad showing of St. Louis in the-race, there must be something faulty in the management of her campuign. 2 THe members of the Council do not seem to recognize the fact that the new sidewalk sweeping ordinance proposed by Street Commissioner BuRNET is more comprehensive and effective than the old. The old ordinance merely forbids the jaweeping of the refuse of stores and buildings to the sidewalk, while the new ordinance regulates the sweeping of both sidewalks S — file where it was placed last night and passed. ay MINISTER Puutre? gushing praises o the German Emperor, and his declaration that the German people are as happy un- der the iron heel of a ‘‘war lord” as ours are under a republic, seem to go a little beyond the safe limit for the application of diplomatic ‘‘soft soap.“ Just at this time, when Germany seems to be looking for an opportunity to interfere in the Brazilian revolution, and to base a colonial acquisition on the presence of 200,000 German settlers in Brazil, the Minister of the United States at Berlin should be more reserved in his disparagement of republics. —_— 1 — a . 13 From a poll of the full House at Wash - ington it appears that as a result of the self-puffing tour of the Chairman of the Executive Committee and of the Governor _ of the State, St. Louis can count on 22. votes. The feat of cutting down our strength from 80 votes to 22 is very nearly equal to the previous feat of cutting down the Democratic majority in Missouri from 50,000 to a Democratic minority of 6,000, achieved by the same gang. — oo — THE unrivaled popularity of the Post- DISPATCH with advertisers and the publio is attested by the issue to-day of a ten- page paper, which contains more adver- tising matter than any of its contempora- ries. The forced enlargement of the Posr-Disraron through the demands of advertisers for space is becoming a regu- lar thing. — —— oa" Some of the self -laudatory managers of tbe St. Louis World's Fair campaign do not seem to have gained many votes in Congress, but they have secured an im- mense amount of personal advertising. This may be satisfactory to them, but it is rough on the people of St. Louis who have done their part of the work magnificently. A Cancer of Doctrine. From the New York WORLD. One William D. Hill, an Ohio politician of sufficient importance to have figured some- what conspicuously inthe State Legislature and to have served aterm or two in Congress, when spoken to with reference to the million- aire contest for the Ohio senatorship, gave utterance toa sentiment the other day which deserves to be trodden upder foot. He said that as the Republicans do not scruple to make use of their millionafres in that way he could see no reason why the Dem- ocrats should not do the same. That is to say, because the Republican party has become the bond-servant of Plutocracy and gets high wages for its degrading sub- serviency the Democrats should seek similar employment. Because Repablicans sell their offices tothe highest bidder the Democrats should offer themselves in the same infernal auction. The utterance is unworthy of any patriot, any Democrat or any honest man. It isa confession of corruption, an invitation to shame. The Republican surrender to the organized greed of the country bas imposed upon the Democratie party more imperatively than ever the duty of opposing the encroachments of corruption and preserving Democratic lib- erty alive in the land. The purchase of Senatorships is the robbery of the people of their dearest possession. Like bribery in elections, it is a crime against liberty which no honest mancan look upon except witb loathing and a deadly, righteous hatred of its perpetrators. The man or the party that consents to it is already leprous to the marrow. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. JENNIB.—Siliver dollars coined in 1870 are not at premiums at present. F. A.

The Board of Supervisors still dally with the Connty Farm question, which fs raised at every meeting, but is never disposed of, Pop- ular sentiment demanded anew farm almost a year ago, and the supervisors went at the work of securing another site at that time in an earnest way that left no room for doubt that the wishes ofthe people would com- plied with as soon as possible. Terms on nu- merous well located farms were asked for and received by the boacd, and a committee was Inistructed to select the best site and re- port, but suddenly the Supervisors seemed to lose all interest in the matter and dropped it completely to the profound sur- prise ofevery one. Yesterday the matter was unexpectedly brought ap again at the board’s meeting, but in a way at, to say the least, is not approved. A committee was instruoted to offer $2,500 for the Ogle farm, one of the most desirabie sites previously offered. The board could have purchased this or other sites last summer at as low a figure as now, and its action in putting the matter asside then when the necessary bulld- ings could have been speedily erected and bringing it up in December, at a time so un- favorable for their construction, meets with general disavproval.

Louis was not properly looked after at the National Capitol, in so far as the World’s Fair 1s concerned. The telegram printed be- low is a startling confirmation of those charges. It shows that in a canvases of the Senate and the House of Representatives, St. Louis stands as a fourth choice, Deing led by Ohicago, New York and Washington, in the order named.

HIS morning at 10 o’clock the delegate® to the Farmers afd La. ‘borers’ Union reassem- bled at Entertainment Hall. The meeting like yesterday, was a secret one: SE The meeting held yesterday afternoon in Entertainment Hall, Was a secret one, none being admitted except those who had the pass and grip. After the routine opening exercises had been gone through with President Evan Jones delivered his address to the convention. Hesaid thatthe Farmers and Laborers’ Union was destined to embrace the whole laboring and farmer element throughout the world which would make It the most powerful organization in existence, enabling ite members to successfully cope with the rapidly encroaching power of rings, truste and soulless combinations which at present were robbing the working element of their hard-earned money. He recommended the consolidation of the Farmers and Labor- ers Union with the Farmers’ Alliance for the better facitities which it would give in com- batting the increase and power of trusts. He also recommended that A SUPREME JUDICIARY be selected to judge members of the organi- gations who had committed offenses. The subject of co-operative principles was broached by rresident Jones and heartily in- dorsed by him. After the President’s address the work of appointing committees and attending to the credentials of delegates was the order of bus- ness. Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi hae each sent two sets of dele- gates—one from the Wheel and one from the Alliance. As one deleggte was not allowed to represent over 20,000 members, and asthe above organizations are now consolidated with the F. and L. U., the matter was settled by throwing out portions of the delegations until they were reduced to the proper — — sentation. The following delegates received their credentials yesterday: Mississippi—R. C. Patty, H. F. Simroll, F. Blunt, A. M. Street, W. 8. Morgan. Arkansas—John W. Libraw, E. A. Ellis, L. H. Moore.

The following committee was appointed to confer with a committee of the National Alliance of the Northwestern States in regard to consolidation: H. W. Hickman of Missouri, ‘ Mitehell of South Carolina, Page of Virginia, Cover of Kansas, Lybrand of Arkansas, R. C. Patty of Mississippi, R. W. Tucker of Tennessee, T. J. Anderson ot Texas, and Myers of Louisiana. This committee met the following Alliance Committee at the Planters’ House last night: I. M. Morris, Kansas; Alonzo Wardell, South Dakota; George W. = Oe he Minnesota; A. J. Streator, Illinois; John H. Powers, Nebraska; Walter Murr, North Dakota; N. B. Ashby, Jowa; William Ulrich, Wisconsin; T. Y. Will- jaios, Washington. The two committees held a lengthy discus- sion, but after a lenethy conference adjourned without accomplishing anything. The wish for a consolidation appears to be stronger on the part of the Farmers and Laborers’ Union than on the part of the alli- ance, the committee from the latter body being almost wholly unfavorable to such a movement. They say that the two bodies can assist each other better by remaining separate than in being consolidated. An evening session, lasting from 7:30 to 10 p'clock, was held in Entertainment Hail last evening, but the only work accomplished was the appointment of a Committee on Constitu- tion and By-laws. The members of the com- mittee were pledged to putno clause in the by-laws or constitution which would cause party discusfion or have a political signif- cance. THE COALITION. | In consequence of the inability of the two committees fromthe Alliance and Farmers and Laborers’ Union tocome toany satisfactory reement regarding the idea of a consolida- tion or confederation, each association this morning appointed a new committee, or rather cut off a number of the members of the committee. It was decided to have the new committees meet this afternoon at the Plan- ters’. The committee from the alliance as it now stands is Geo. W. Sprague of Minnesota; Alonzo Wardall, South Dakota; J. H. Ashby, owa; J. H. Powers, Nebraska, and Walter ulr of North Dakota. The members of the alliance committee were questioned by a POsST-DIsPaTCH reporter this morning regarding their plans. The eneral idea was not to be have a consolida- fon but a confederation. Ali are in favor of mutual assistance. Mr. Ralph Beaumont, chairman of. the Nationai Legisiative Committee at Washing- ton, and one of the committee to confer with n COMmMmittee from the Farmers and Laborers’ nion, was seen at the Laclede Hotel this morning by a PosT-DISPaTCH reporter. „We have no intention of endeavoring to gto @ consolidation with the Farmers and borers’ Union,’’ he said. ‘*As 1 under- stand it the Northern and Southern Farmers’ Alliances, the Farmers’ Mutual Benefit Asso- ciation and the Agricultural Wheel have con- solidated and we are to confer with them with a view to furthering the interests of both or. nizations. In view ofthe fact that legisla- | bodies have made unjust discrimination — the farmers by special acts of legisla - onin favor of corporations we deem it nec- N to take steps to assist each other. We are both working for the same ends atid this conference is forthe purpose of es- fablishing confidence in each other.

The meeting this morning was called to order at 8:30 by President Evan Jones, after which ex-President O. W.@ Macune of the Farmers and Laborers’ Union of Washington, D. C., editor of the W Economist, de- livered his annual address. He explained the ideas of the organization and its prospects, described the manner in which the consolidation of the different aseo- ciations was brought about and submitted a number of suggestions regarding the gath- ering of crop reports, etc, is address lasted about an hour. After Mz. Macune had finished speaking, Mrs, Anna Sneed Cairns, Superintendent of the National W. C. T. U. and chairman of the committee from the W. ©. T. T. on the rela- tion of that organization to labor, stepped on the stage and resented a bouguet to Mr. Macune and President Bur- rows of the National Farmers’ Alliance. President Burrows made a aceful speech in récognition of its presentation, after which L. L. Polk was called on and made an address. ‘*Stump’’ Ashby of Texas and A. J.

The picturesque and beautiful costumes and stage setting of the Pearl of Tekin, the fun-making of Louis Harrison and the pretty girls, bright music and other features of the comic opera make up a fine entertainment for the audiences at the Olympic. »The Oity Directory“ has caught on at the Grand. The clever dancing and amusing specialties of the company make it a rattling show. **McCarthy’s Mishaps’’ keeps the patrons of the People's laughing at the complications and uproarious fun of its performance. „The Emigrant’’ will be given for the last time at Pope’s this week to-night and to- morrow night Chris and Lena,“ recon- structed, will be put on. Undoubtedly one of the strongest variety organizations on the road is Reilly & Wood’s show, now atthe Standard. The programme is full of good things. Manager Hagan promises the highest reach of staverealism at his house next week in „Mankind.“ Amongthe realistic scenes of the play are a mammoth steamship, 4 tog at sea, a rescue, a mob scene, with an attack on a tenement house and the smashing of ali the windows. The dramatization of Mr. Gunnter’s famous novel, Mr. Barnes of New Tors, will be seen at the Olympic next week. he play is said to be fullof thrilling situations and en- tertaining comedy. In the company are Emily Rial, Robert Hilliard and other well known artists. The sale of seats will commence to- morrow. Edwin Harrigan in his character creation, „Old Lavender, and surrounded by his tal- ented character and comedy people will be the attraction at the Grand next week. The ad- — sale of seats will open to-morrow morn- ng. Thomas H. Davis, manager of The Stow- away’’ Co., indignantly denies the rumor that be has engaged Maurice Barrymore to play the part of one of the burglars in his play. In the first place, sald Davis, with a sneer, Jam quite positive that Barrymore has had no practical experience asa safe-blower and, as instruction in this art ies expressly férbid- den by statutes, Idon’t think he would care to run the risk of enforced retirement in an institution provided by the State for the sup- pression of kieptomaniacs by apprenticing himselftoa professional ‘‘peterman’’ in order to acquire a knowledge of the business. Be- sides, continued the blonde director of the Play. Even if Barrymore could secure a compet@ht tutor to instruct him in the mys- teries of safe blowing’’ be would be entirely too theatric to impersonate a real cracksman. Mr. Davis, however, is looking for an @xper- lenced cracKeman who knows all about the use ofjimmy and nitroglycerine to go out in advance ofthe company. „The Night Owis,’’ which is popular amon the patrons of the Standard, will come to that theater next week.

P. I.—Manidéipal Matters. The Street Commissioner and the Mayor held a conference this morning on the time- worn subject of the People’s Railway business. This morning it was a matter of vacating streets occupied under the authority of per- mits issued by Mayor Noonan. One permit was to lay and use temporary tracks on Park avenue, granted for ninety days and issued on July 980, and consequently now inactive, as the time bas long exvired. What to do in the case was the question. These tracks are still being used by the People’s Railway Co., and a strong effort is being made by citizens along the street to have the tracks retained there permanently under the franchise of the Park Railway Co., which the city claims is invalid. The permit, besides, distinctly | states that under no circumstances shall these tracks be used to i inffuence the claims under the Park Co. franchise. This is just what ts being done, asthe citizens have requested the Mayor to extend the permit until such time as the validity of the Park Co. rights is settled. The Commissioner and Mayor could not de- cide this morning what was the best thing to do under the circumstances as to order the track up now would put astop to the opera- tion of the road from Missiesippi avenue west, and to let it run on would be countenanoing a very irregular practice. It was learneu that Mr. Charles Green, the President of the road, is out ofthecity for an indefinite length of time. A decision of some kind will be made to-morrow. The second permit was the one authorizing the laying of tracks from St. Ange avenue along Obouteau avenue to Mississippi and out Mississippi to Park. These tracks are no longer used andthe permit for them has ex- pired. Mr. Barnet said they were an obstruction to the street, and of no useto anybody, and should be removed immediately. his will be done, as there are no difficuities, but how the Park avenue complications will be straight- ened out by Mayor Noonan remains to be seen. Kicking About the Colonel, There is adecided coolness betwe members of the Board of Public prove- ments and President Fiad. The trouble has been brewing for some time and finally burst out in avery ludicrous way. President Flad has been having his own way about things to a great extent and h al- ways been in a sort of attitude toward the members of the Yesterday he pee on Oommissioner Bur- net because of the omission of a certain clause in a street paving ordinance. Later in the day the whole ard got huffy, and were grumb- ling all this morning about the thing. ester- day the board arranged for another stealthy descent upon the Work Hotise, and the whole board was to go In a body. They marched down to the depot at Fourth street and Chouteau avenue. They were all there except President Flad. The board waited and became excited but the President did not come. Train time came andthe train pulled out and the five indignant commissioners marched back from the depot fuming at the affront. The maddest of the punch were Messrs. Murphy and Klemm ofthe Work-house Committee, upon whom Col. Fiad bas allowed to rest the burden of the Work-house investiga- tion, he pleading more important business. These two feel somewhat nettied at the thought that the President of the board con- siders his business more important than theirs and displays a tendency to shove the minor matters on to their shoulders. They are not saying much, but are thiaxing a heap. Commissioner Burnet is carrying around in his pocket a written reply to Col. Filad’s statements on the pavement business and is trying to make up his mind to present it. Commissioner Mc- Math isin aticklish position. He must de- cide between Col. Flad and Mr. Burnet. Com- missioner Holman is the only one whois not right into it, and with ghoulish glee he sits by and urges on the different commissioners and enjoys the now frequent skirmishes and ora- torical flighte. Violating Its Own Laws. Boller Inspector McUlelian wrote an official communication to Mayor Noonan this morn- ing, informing bim that the Court-house, Work-house and House of Refuge were violat- ing the new boiler inspection ordinance, which was passed some few weeks ago. In what respect the law was being violatea Mr. McClelian did not say, but Mayor Noonan wrote to him and said that his duty was clear in the case, and as the city should be the last to violate its own ordinan- ces it was the Inspector’s duty to go ahead and see that the violations were discontinued. some The New City Hall. The plans for the new City Hall have not yet arrived and are being anxiousiy watened for by the commission. City Counselor Bell is of the opinion that they will arrive in a few days and with them the decision of Prof. Ware. Concerning the making pub- lic of Prot. Ware’s™, decision, Mr. Bell said: 1 do not see why his verdict should not be announced as soon as it is known. It does not bind the commission in any way, but will give a good idea of his opin- ion. I think every move in this matter should be made publicly. ’’ Prof. Ware wrote Saturday that he expected to have his decision ready by December 1.

This is — fe aa * 1 ee x ö ey given a preliminary examination and SHE WOULD NOT RESIGN, AND THE WOMAN’S HUMANE SOCIETY EX- PELLED HER. Mrs. William H. Brothers Dropped From the Rolls of the Organization on Account of Her Action in the Alice Jackman Case— The Action Taken at a Meeting Held Last Night. RS. WM. H. BROTH- ERS is no longer a member of the Wom- an’s Humane Society. At a meeting of that organization held at the Lindell Hotel last evening her name was dropped from tbe rolls The trouble all arose over the Alice Jack- man case. Mrs. Broth- ers joined the society last spring and was one of its most active workers. When the attention of the or- ganization was called to Alice Jackman, the ladies sought a place to keep the child until they could investigate her case. Mrs. Brothers volunteered to take charge of the girl, and Alice was turned over to her. The society had filed an application in the Probate Court for the aprointment of a new guardian for the little one in the place of Mr. John 6. Taylor, her uncle, who was alleged to have been guilty of oruelty toward her. On investigating the case, however, the ladies effected a compromise with Mr. Taylor, whereby Alice Jackman was to be placed with the Sisters of the H ouse of Good Shepherd and educated ai their school at Normandy. When this understand ing was arrested at the ladies sent for the gir! to send her to Normandy, but Mrs. Brothers refused to surrender her. The society reported the fact to Mr. Taylor, and found themselves in the rather ugly position of having entered into an agreement which, through the action of one of their awn members, they were un- able to carry out. Mrs. Brothers, in order TO RETAIN POSSESSION OF THE CHILD legally, had Alice Jackman apply to the Pro- bate Court to have Mr. Brothers appointed her guardian. In refusing to surrender the ahild, she claimed that there was a row going on in the society over the action of some of its members in agreeing to send Alice Jackman to Normandy, and that it was not the wish of the society, but only of a few individual members that she should be taken out there. Afterward the child was kidnaped trom Mrs. Brothers and has sines been in the hands of friends of Mr. Taylor. Mrs. Brothers’ action in conveying the im- pression to the public at large that there was a row going on in the society, and also in re- fusing to surrender the child to them to send to Normandy when ordered to do 80, angered the members of the organization it appears, and itis said that a few days ago she was requésted to resign. This request she failed to comply with, and last night the society held a meeting to pass upon her case. There were twenty-five or thirty ladies present, and formal charges were made against her of refusing to oDey the orders of the organization,and of discussing the private affairs of the society in public, and convey- ing the impression that internal dissen- sions existed. A vote was takén on the question of expulsion, and her name was dropped from the list. It is said that the meeting was a very quiet one, only one or two members saying anything in MRS. BROTHERS’ DEFENSE. Although the meeting wag an open one the members of the society very reticent about discussing their action. One lady stated positively, however, that the only charges made against Mrs. Brothers were those men- tioned above, and that she was not discussed in any other light. It was merely a question of whether they would permit a member to disobey the orders of the society and to make statements in public calculated to convey false impressions concerning their proceed- ings and thereby work them injury. The or- ganization was a thoroughly democratic one, intended merely to advance the carse of hu- menity,; and they sought to do this in as quiet and unostentatious a manner as possibie. The excuse that the ladies gave for not discussing their action was that they wished to avoid any disagreeable notoriety. There was no pulsion of Mre. Brothers and it was not a per- sonal fight, as the sentiment against ber ac- tion in the Jackman case was almost unani- mous. Mrs. Moors, living at 2106 North Ninth street, has donated a bundle of clothing to the r of the Fourth District. The gar- ments have been placed in charge of the police for distribution. True Economy Is to buy the best things dt the lowest prices. When you need a good medicine, it is true practical economy to buy Hood’s Sarsaparilla, tor itis the best at the lowest price. 100 Doses One Dollar“ is original with this medi- cine and true of no other. If you wish to prove the truth of this popniar line, buy a bottle of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and measure its contents. You will find it to hold 100 tea- spoonfuls. Now read the directions, and you will fud the average dose for persons ot dif- ferent ages is less thana teaspoonful. Thus the evidence of the peculiar strength and economy of Hood’s Sarsaparilia is conclusive and unswerable. We could notbe without Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla.

A number of telegrams have been sent to all sections of the corn belt to ascer- 7 tain how mucn of the — crop had been mar- keted, and how. much still remained in the hands of the farmers. Partieular in- quiry was made to ascertain whether shipments during the past three weeks had been unusually large in pro- portion to the stock on hand, and whether the present rate of shipment was likely te con- tinue. A MAGNIFICENT CROP. The answers receiyed from all sections, whether in Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Arkansas, Texas, or any other distriet tribu- tary to St. Louis, were about the same in tenor. It was stated that there had been aa effort to rush corn to market for November delivery, asa eorner had been anticipated, but the amount sent in consequence of this had not been very much beyond what would have been shipped under ordinary circumstances. The cause of the unusual shipments was unusual crops. There had been no remarkable yield in any particular section, but there had been a general crop such as had seldom or never been known. failure, but all showed a crop decidedly over the average. The cause of the increase in shipments was to be sought in general pros- perity and not in local excess. In this respect the corn erop of this year was different from that of almost any 1 season. No phenom- enal output to the acre had deen made, but in no quarter had there been a failure or short - age, and this is a state of affairs almost unex- ampled. The report indicated that the present rate of shipment would continue for some time to come. THE FOREIGN DEMAND. What ie still more remarkable than the re- celpts is the demand from foreign points, — 1 acall from Europe has never been known those interested are confident thatthe call — across the ocean le but a premonition 1 hat is to come. A letter was received b prominent shipper from Paris, stating t at officers of both the German and French armies had been making careful investigations at the Paris Exposition of the eapabilities of corn as a food, and that it was believed that a test would be made. Even among the 2 classes in England and the Continent corn is ery little used as food, although its apness and nutritious qualities are said to be superior to the quality of flour generally used. The American corn exhibit at the Paris Exposition was a revela- tion, and it is believed that the demand from Europe will be increased many hundred per cent within the next yearortwo. Already the foreign shipment have increased very much indeed, and this fact has prevented the pleth- ora that the heavy receipts would otherwise have occasioned. ° GOOD NEWS FOR FARMERS. A careful comparison made between the foreign shipments of the last few years shows a state of affairs of which many of those most deeply interested in corn were notaware. In 1887 the foreign demand was the largest on record, last year it had increased from 30 to 45 per cent, and this year from all indications an increase of at least 60 per cent over the unprecedented calis made in 1888 will be recorded. So heavy over the re- ceipts torday that a large number of cars con- signed to East Bt. uls where the action of Inspector Burks is sending most of that ar- riving in this city, had to be temporarily held owing to the crowd of freight. The foreign — is indicative of prosperity for the armer.

* 90 ‘ with rit oy ng WEDNESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 4, 1889. — m . WHO IS 10 BLAME? _ * — The Chief of Police Responsible for the Prevalence of Lot- tery in St. Louis. In Disobedience of His Explicit Orders He Fails to Arrest or Prosecute the Vio- lators of the Law. 8 Wien His ‘Hands Full of Evidence Against the Law- Breakers He Stands Motionless and Refuses to Punish the Criminals— The Burden of Responsibility Rests Upon His Shoulders—A Plain Statement of the Positions Taken by the Authorities Towards This Class of Crime. ICE-PRESIDENT OVER- ALL vas interviewed on the subject of the lotteries on November 19, and he said that each publication of a lottery advertisement was a separate offense, and the policy of the board would be to arrest every man who had deen guilty of an offense. On November 14 the Board of Police Commis- sioners issned an order directing every patrol- man and every officer to arrest any man found guilty of violating the lottery law. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes has sent word to Chief Huebler that he was ready to issue Warrants if the Chief had any cases to present. The order of the board bas not been obeyed. Mr. Overall did not know whereof he spoke when he said that every man who committed an offense would be arrested and Chief Huebler has not done bis duty. THE CONDUCT OF THE EXECUTIVE head of the Police Department has been very reprehensible and negligent. UNLESS THE ORDERS GIVEN BY THE BOARD HAVE BEEN COUNTERMANDED SECRETLY HE HAS BEEN DIRECTLY COMMANDED TO PROCEED AGAINST OFFENDERS AND HE HAS NOT OBEYED. Since that order was made the law has been violated daily by an alleged newspaper and every issue ofa disreputable weekly has con- tained an unlawful advertisement of a lottery. Dozens of crimes have been committed and 80 boldly that they have excited the wonderment of the whole community, yet when Mr. Dierkes notified Chief Huebler that be was ready toissue warrants, Chief Huebler had but one case to present. The responsibility for lotteryin St. Louis now rests solely upon the shoulders of Chief Huebler and he cannot shift the burden. The board put it on him when it issued its blanket order, Vice-President Overall declared each publication was a separate offense, and Mr. Dierkes notified the Chief that he was ready to issue warrants. Who then stands in the way of suppressing lottery? A PLAIN CASE. The Chief has orders to proceed and has Gozens of flagrant offenses before bim of which he has persona! information, yet ne has notand does not make arrests or apply for ‘warrants. And worse than that,the police have proved by what they have done that if they wisned to arrest the lottery men they could do so, for under the pressure of public criticiem they succeeded in making twenty one cases in twelve days when they had not made a single case in the previous 104 days. Chief Huebler could have kept up that rec- ord, for he had plenty of material to work on. Hundreds of offenses are daily committed, dozens of well-known venders are continuing their business without interruption and al- leged newspapers boldly print advertisements of lotteries. Chief Huebler has evidence enough to convict most of the guilty men; he certainly has evidence of-each of the offenses of the so-called newspaper, yet he fails to act and permits the guilty men to go on unpun- ished, reaping the profits of their crimes. Chief Huebler knows that he is not doing his duty, for as the executive head ofthe Po- lice Department it is plainly his duty to urrest the offenders, and they are not in jail. OPEN DEFIANCE. The sheet which has forso long enjoyed the privilege of breaking laws with impunity still continues to print the forbidden advertise- ments, and the pseudo editor declares ‘‘There is no power in St. Louis can make me stop.“ His isthe sheet which uttered defiance to the police, by printing an edition containing an advertisement of every known lottery,and the police have not accepted the challenge. For two years those unlawful publications contin- wed and the police did nothing. Then, when they were forced by the demands of public sentiment to make at least ashow of punishing the guilty on they had an officer who is charged with perju swear out one of Mr. Dierkes’ loophole warrants. A second followed and then he stopped. The succeeding day the lottery edition of the sheet came out, but the police took no notice of itand would not prosecute on account of it. Since then the unlawful publications have ap- peared daily, yet when r. Dierkes notified Chief Huebler that he was ready to issue war- rants if the Chief had any cases to present, ONE CASE ONLY was sent to him. Chief Huebler cannot throwthe blame on anyone else. It is his duty to act in such cages; he has been told by the board to make sts; he has all the evidence he could ask for, nd Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Dierkes says he will issue the warrants. He can find or give no explanation of his inactivity, nordoes he attempt it. He has spoken of the difficulties the police have to meet to secure convictions, and they are well known. . That deputy sheriffs pocket warrants and that the Court of Criminal Correction is a door beld open to the lottery men are facts notorious, but even Chief Huebler does not plead that they excuse him from doing his duty. He — — refuses to say why he will not prosecute the lottery men. The. little spurt that was made when the Post-DISPATCH began its crusade against lot- tery drove the venders to the alleys, and it was more difficult to secure a lottery ticket than it had been for years, but the police stopped work, and as MAYOR NOONAN SAID: „Word was passed along the line, all safe, come out of your holes, and they came out, and out they are still. They are selling as open- ly as ever, right under the noses of the police, and the police know it and do nothing. They have sunk into a coma, and it seems impossi- ble to rouse them. Chief Huebler has the blame of this to bear, for he is the ohe who orders arrésts or directs the officers to let the lottery men alone. He can put an end to lottery in St. Louls if he wishes to, but he refuses to do his duty. Why he refuses his best friends do not know. She Wants to Be a Star.

The Councii held a regular mecting last night with twelve members present. A num- ber of biJis came from the House of Delegates and were read the first time. The ordinance increasing the pay of Fire Department watch- men was read the lasttime and signed. The sprinkling bill was given first reading. The ordinance regulating the sweeping of sidewalks was filed on the recommendation of the Police Committee. A petition asking the city to purchase a piece of ground near Broadway and Biddle for market purposes was sent to the Market Com- mittee. The bill authorizing the payment of $3,850 to W. J. Lemp for wharf property went to en- gross ment. The bill providing for the Increase of sala- ries in the Police and Fire Alarm Telegraph Department was taken up and resulted in bringing about some very plain state- ments from several persons present. Comptroller Stevenson said that since Octo- ber 1, 1888, the salary bill ofthe city had benn increased about $200,000 per annum, and that the deficit in the current revenue was $127,000. He warned the Council that if such thing were carried any further they would work grave injury tothe city in the way of public im- provements. Mr. Comfort tried to compare the conduct of Comptroller Stevenson with that of his predecessor, Comptroller Camp- bell, but to this Mr. Stevenson objected. Then Mr. Comfort suggested that the revenue be increased by taxing the existing corpora- tions up to the full amount of their bonded indebtedness, giving as examples the Olive Street Cable Road which he said cost about $800,000 and was assessed at $200,000, and the gas company with an indebtedness of $10,000, - 000 paying taxes on $2,000,000. The bill was then amended 80 as to reduce the increase $1,120 per annum. The Council then adjourned until Friday. THE HOUSE. The House of Delegates met last night with twenty-one members present, but no business of importance was done. Mr. Mohan introduced a bili tendering For- est Park as a place for the holding of the World’s Fair. A large number of public improvement bills were disposed of, and the House adjourned, LupwiG, the great Baritone, in his famous ballads to-night at Music Hall.

Awell regulated ‘‘mob’’ of pickpockets is regularly ‘‘working’’ the street cars on Satur- day and Monday evenings, the pay-nights in the large business houses in the city. The victims chosen are principally girls employed in the dry goods stores and factories. No large thefts have yet been reported, aithough a number of small sums have been ‘‘nipped’’ at different times. The girls carry the ir hands or in a small hand- bag, and some have them in the pockets of their jackets. The pickpockets have a systematic style of working which will bereadily recognized when seen hereafter. The mob is composed of four young men, stylishly dressed and apparently clerks. They generally board one of the cars in the vicinity of Sixth street, eo on Pine or Olive streets. their purses either in They dothis when §hey see a crowd of work- ing girls waiting forthe car. Just as the girls get on the car and the car starts one of the mob suddenly stoops down as though looking for a lost coin. This is the signal for the other three who, while pretending to push into the car, deftly slip their hands into the pockets of the unsuspecting passengers, Or even snatch a purse from the hand. After the crowd has been gone through or an alarm is raised, the mob quietly drops off the car, to resume operations on some other. ' Recently a bevy of girls from Barr’s store boarded a Ninth street car when the above- described tactics were observed. One of the young ladies who is employed in the bric-a- brac department saw one of the pick- pockets attempt to snatch a purse, and gave hima push, throwing him off the car. Nearly every Saturday and Monday night this mob can be seen at work on some of the car lines. SECRETARY NOBLE knows A Flap Jack muffin always goes.

Washington has already been consolidated with the Baltimore Club and the Cleveland players may be transferred to Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia to assist in strengthening these teams.

Mrs. Southworth’s Condition—Setting * Day for the Trial. By Telegrarh tothe POsST-DIsPatTor. NEW YORK, Dec. 4.—Mrs. Hannah South- worth, now in the Tombs for the murder of Stephen Pettus, indulged herself yesterday in a pleasant walk by the yawning trenches of Broadway. Mrs. Southworth walked from the Tombs to the Court of Oyer and Terminer and back again. In appearance the now fa mous woman was much brighter than on any previous day and seemed to enjoy ber brief taste of fresh air immensely. The result of Mrs. Southworth’s visit to the court was one not at all to the taste of Mr. Howe, according to that gentieman’s state- ment. He had apparently counted upon bringing the case to a speedy trial, but was met by Assistant District Attorney Goff’s statement, that owing to the press of 4 — no date could be set for the trial. Mr. Howe insisted that he had practically received a promise that the trial should open on the léth, and urged that this promise should be made good. Assistant District Attorney Goff re- turned the reply that this was impossible, since it was more than probable that Judge Brady would not remain on the bench longer than the 13th. Then Mr. Howe, in a fine burst of eloquence urged upon the District. Attorney the impor- tance of a speedy trial for the ‘‘poor littie wreck of mortality’’ now in his care, if, in- deed, they ever wished the trial to come about. The row of Mr. Howe’s eloquence was that it was decided that there shall be held within the next two or tnree days a con- ference between Judge Brady, the District Attorney, and Mr. Howe, with the idea of set- ting an early day for the trial. For a woman held for so serious an offense Mrs. Southworth has within the last few days slept calmly and seemed to be much at peace with herself and hér conscience.

New Tonk, Dec. 4.—In spite of the fright- ful warnings that the electric lighting com- panies have had ofthe danger of uninsulated wires, itis evident that there yet remains enough of those deadly things to make trav- eling in the clty not altogether safe. As the last Third avenue City Hall train was making its way rapidly down the Bowery and nearing Grand street last night atabout 12:30 o’clock the few passengers in the second oar were startled by a sudden crackling, splitting sound onthe roofof the car. For an instant everybody thongnt that a heavy hail storm had rattied its contents on the car. A moment later it became evident thatalive wire had caused the disturbance. Those who were looking out of the window saw a flash of lightning-like light gieam through the air, and accompanied by a shower of sparks, run along the eaves and gutters of the houses parallel with the elevated track. At the same time passengers in the car felt a slight electric shock, and one whose elbow was resting on the window sill perceived a strong current similar to that given by a bat- tery-shoot through hisarm. The phenomena was explained by the guard to have been cansed by a low-hanging wire which was caught by the roof of the car and pulled along until it crossed another wire. There was a general feeling of relief when the manifesta- tions ce and it was found that no harm had been done. It seemed to be a trifle too near to erience impromptu electric execu- tion to be pleasant, and in fact might easily have proven more serious.

A Stormy Session of the Pittsburg Presby- tery on the Question of Revision, By Telegraph to the PosT-DISPATCH. PITTSBURG, Pa., Dec. 4.—There were lively times yesterday at the meeting of the Pitts- burg Presbytery over the Confession of Faith. George T. Purvis offered a motion to consider the question of amending and revising the confession of faith, which the Presbytery at its last session bad decided against. He was ably secouded by the Rev. Dr. Holland, while the opposition was headed by the Rey. G. W. Chaifant. After a bot discussion the motion was defeated by a slight majority. Then the members favoring the reconstruc- tion of the Confession of Faith sprung a bomb. It was in the shape of the following, offered by Elder W. G. Johnston: Whereas, this Presbytery views with deep concern the widespread defection prevalent throughout our great Presbyterian Zion to the received standards of our venerable church; and, Whereas, our congregations are in danger of being corrupted by such heresies; therefore ‘Resolved, That the ministers of this Presby- tery be required assoon as possible, to pre- sent to their several congregations our belief, as set forth in the Westminster Confession of Faith, upon the following among other ee oot hat God has from all eternity ordained some of his creatures for his own glory to everlasting death. That the elect infants alone are saved. That the Pope of Rome is anti-Christ. A volley of calls on Moderator Ewing for recognition followed this announcement. The Rev. G. W. Chalfant said this was absurd and such a remark should not even be made about the Pope. He styled the resolution as ‘‘a caricature on the confession of faith.’’ The Rev. Dr. H. f. McUlelland of the West- ern Theological Seminary remarked that he was ordained to preach the gospel and not the **Confession of Faith.’’ Dr. Holland said the resolution was all right except it ought to state also that the Lord — the world in six days ot twenty -fours each. Mr. Chalfant had just begun to go into an- other discussion ot the insanity of the resolu- tion when a motion was made to lay the reso- lution on the table. The motion was carried and the fright for the time ended. FIRST-CLASS pictures make the test, Strauss’s photos are the best. A BARON’S WOES. Von Sucrow’s Complaint te the Mayor of Baltimore. By Telegraph to the POST-DISPATCH. BALTIMORE, Md., Dec. 4.—Baron F. F. von Sucrow, who married Miss Constable of Balti- more, bas written a letter of complaint from New York to Mayor Davidson, the new Mayor. It says that on September 15, 1888, Miss W. accompanied by Maj. F. F. v. Sucrow, called on Mayor Latrobe to ask if he had the power to perform the civil marriage. Mr. Latrobe, in private, explained the law, stating also that he could not perform the civil marriage, but unfortunately for Miss Constable and Maj. Sucrow a reporter was in the Mayor’s office and published inaccurate accounts of the interview. The public notice thereby created brought into notoriety Miss Constabie and Maj. Sucrow and he was not allowed to marry without the consent of his Government or his father. He has been injured so much by the press that his wife, who is now reported sick, must go to the Poor- house. Mrs. Von Sucrow’s friends in Baltimore say that she will not suffer for lack of comforts and will not } pave to go to the Poor- house. Ingalls’ Installment Plan, 1103 Olive.

Cor, Broadway and Piue, A Decorator’s Blunders. . By Telegraph to the Posr-Disr Aron. New YORK, Dec. 4.—An entertaining story fs told of a mistake that was made at the Metropolitan Opera-house just before the opening of the season. It afforded a good deal of amusement to most of the people who knew about it, and seems to have troubled nobody seriously except a luckless decorator, who made the error and was its chief victim. James Stillman, a Wall street cotton broker, has a box atthe opera-house and he decided to have the ante-room decorated in handsome etyle. He went to adecorator and told him how he wanted the work done. The plans were elaborate and costly, and Mr. Stillman and the decorator were both pleased with them, On the opening night of the season, a week ago, the embellishment of the room was said to be finished, and Mr. Stillman. went to the Opera-house with his fa: ily in high anticipa- tion of iis beauties. But he was astonished to find that nothing whatever had been done toit, while James A. Roosevelt, who has the next boxto it, was equally astonished to find his ante-room wonderfully beautified since he had last seen it. When Mr. Stiliman found out where his decorations had gone arrange- ments were quickly made with Mr, Roosevelt to have them transferred to the right box, and the labor of doing it feli heavily on the shoul- 2 of the decorator who had made the mis- take.

The ordinary expenditures of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, exclusive of premium on bonds, were also greater than in any other year, except during the war riod, and the years wich bore its cost most eavily, bein , 842,656.98 greater than the fiseal year 1888. ‘The expenditures for the last quarter of the fiscal year 1889 were $9,790,696. 74 less than for the last quarter of the fiscal year 1 Notwithstanding the diminished supply of bonds for sale in the markets the Government has been able to obtain at constantly decrenas- ing prices a sufficient amount of bonds to meet the requirements of the sinking fund for current figcal year and carry out the prov is- ions of law respecting the investment of the surplus revenue. THE SURPLUS. It Appears, from estimates, that after due provision shall have been made for meeting the ordinary expenses of the Government, in- cluding the requirements of the sinking-fund, there will remain, under the operation of ex- isting laws, an annual surplus of revenue of about $44, obo, 000. An accumulation endanger- ing legitimate business, tending to excessive and wasteful public expenditufe, and to en- courage extravagance in private ak- fairs. It is a manifest duty to wisely guard againet a future needless accumulation. If a portion of the surplus revonue can be used to enlarge our foreign markets, and thereby advance our commercial and pro- ductive interests, it isthe part ot wisdom to so apply it. The strengthening of our coast defenses, and the building up of our Navy. subjects of national concern, offer further opportunity for wise expenditures that would return the money directly tothe people. But after making provision Of such expenditures as may be proper and reasonabie for these purposes, a large annual surplus will still re- main under the operation of existing laws. It is rather through a reduction of customs re- ceipts and Interngl taxes, that an unnecessary accumulation of¥money in the Treasury shonld be avoided. The repeal of the tobacco tax would reduce the surplus about $32,000,000. Whatever may be said of the moral or physica! effects and influence of tobacco, it haus come to be regarded asa necessity by the poor as wellas the rich. It Is now the only product of agricuiture that is directly taxed by the Government, The subject of exempting from taxation alcohol forusein the arts merits and has received much attention. This is a direct and onerous burden uvon our industrial interests and upon the consumers of the articles produced, for which there now seems to be no necessity or excuse. Incase the tax should be removed both from tobacco and alcohol used in the arts, the reduction thus effected would be about $37,500,000, leaving a balance from in- ternal revenue of about $97,500, 000, THE TARIFF AND REDUCTION OF CUSTOMS. Reduction in receipts from customs presents the only other adyisable means for diminish- ingthe revenue. Thiscan be accomplished: By reduction in rates of duty upen articles which are found to be excessive; by increase in rates upon articles which have not been successfully produced here, because not ade- quately protected; by transferring to the free list articles which, from climatic or other causes, are not and cannot be successfully produced here, also articies which, under ex- isting conditiors, we cannot eco omically produce in sufticient quantities to meet the needs of our people, or to serve the purpose of competition with foreign productions, and articles the production of which is of incon- siderable importance. As a general rule, a reduction ifthe rates of duty would increase importations in greater proportion than the rates are reduced, and so increase rather than diminish reeeipts. This would be the result of any plan of borizontal reduction yet proposed; thus,a horizontal reduction of 10 or 20 per cent in rates might result in 20 or 50 pertent or even greater in- crease in the volume of imports. The ten- dency ofthis would be to largely inorease the surplus, and, tothe extent of the increased importations, to deprive American workmen of theempioyment which belongs to them, and correspondingly to reduce the price of labor, A tariff for revenue only contemplates such an adjustment of duty as will yield the targ- est amount of revenue atthe lowest rates. It means the largest possible quantity of im- portations consistent with the amount of customs revenue required to defray the ex- ponses of the Government. A tariff based upon the difference in the cost of labor and materials, in this and foreign countries, wili fail of its purpose in times of overproduction and depression in competing countries. Whatever differences of opinion, and how- ever diverse may be opinions as to the ab- stract question of taxati for revenue pur- poses, customs and interWal, there is genera! agreement that a revision of the tariff and customs iaws is urgently needed. UNIFORMITY OF ASSESSMENT at the several ports, and often as between im- porters of like “merchandise at the same ports, has not been secured. Doubts as to the mean ing of many of the 4 provisions of the tariff schedules have ied to Constant appeals to the Secretary of the Treasury, which are often stimulated by speculative importers and customs attorneys, who seek to profit by the payment of the higher rates of duty, upon the basis of which the merchandige is sold to the consumer and the chance of obtaining a re- fund through the action of the Treasury De- partment or the courts. There were 25,349 appeals by importers from the decisions of Collectors of Customs, chiefly from the port of New York, during the last fiscal year. As a result of this increasing practice of making protest and appeal, the Secretary is constantly importuned to make _ rulings equivalent to tariff legisiation. It is therefore urged that in revising the tariff schedules care be taken to avoid conflicting provisions and ambiguities. Thelaw which imposes a dutv of I cents per pound on lead ore, and also exempts from duty ores of silver and gold, il- lustrates these csnflicting provisions, and in this the purpose of the law may be defeated under both of its provisions. Secretary Windom then calls attention to duty dependent upon use, to special exemp- tions, whieh are harmful, to undervaluation, on which remedies are suggested, and to an extension of trade relations with those countries whose geographical situation and resources are such as to make intimate com- mercial intercourse with them particularly desirable. He also recommends action in re- lation to customs administration, the present rules on which were derived from 263 acts of Congress during a period of ninety years. Defects are suggested in invoices and con- sular authentication, coverings, packing charges, etc., reappraisements, drawbacks, a refund of duties, suits, te., customs tribunals, oaths, bonds, fees, compensation of collectors, etc. He also advocates the con- solidation of customs districts, with a read justment of salaries, and recommends a con- tinuance of the i geek ey en for quarterly conferences of local appraisers. FOREIGN COMMERCE The total value of imports and exports of merchandise and specie during the last fiscal year was 51,618, 187,633, an increase ovar the preceding year ‘ot $87, 473, 843,and was greater than for any year since i881. The value of the imports and exports of merchandise and specie during the last three fiscal years shows an excess of exports for 1887 of $23,863,443, and an excess of imports for 1588 of $28, 002. 607, a nu for 1889 of . 780, 277. The excess ot specie exporte for 1889 was %$67,678,460, and of im- ports 324. 173. 101 for 1887 and $12, 923, 808 for 1888. The exports of gold, exclusive of ores, dur- ing the last fiseal year were $69,952,285, the largest since 1875; the imports were $10,284,- This excess of exports over imports of gold occurred mainly in May and June last, amounting during those months to $30,000, This excess was largely due to the increase of foreign travel on the part of our people and the consequent inereased demand for foreign exchange. The tosal value of exports of do- mestic merchandise was $730,282,609 for the fiscal year 1889, an increase of $46 46, 420, 505 over the preceding FOR aad ne wees greater 450 that ot any year aa th 1883.

Our total foreign tonnage, not including those engaged in the whale fish- eries, is 900,618, of which 190,196 tons are steam, and 809.422 tons ens vessels. ‘‘En- rolled and licensed’’ vessels may carry on coasting trade, including trade with Canada, on the lakes. The coasting trade includes trade along the seacoast, and on the navi- gable rivers and lakes of the United States. Of our total tonnage, 1,765,551 tons are steam, and 2,541,924 tons are other than steam. The registered tonnage of the United States has increased 6,082 tons in the last two years, while the enrolied and licensed tonnage bas in the same period increased 195,598 tons. Our sailing tonnage has decreased 25,172 tons, and our steam tonnags has increased 117,482 tons during the last year. The Secretary then shows ut length the encroachment of foreign vessels upon the foreign carrying trade dur- ing the last thirty-two years, and speaks par- ticularly of the angaoyance and inconvenience of the execution ofbonds ander the present legislation. In this connection he advocates a bounty on tonnage, to enable American ves- sels to compete wita the subsidized ships of England. The difficulty, he says, is not so muchin the cost of building ships as in run- ning them in competition with cheap foreign labor supplemented by immense foreign bounties. Enrolled and licensed . SILVER. The continued coinage of the silver dollar, the Secretary says, at a constantly inereasing monthly quota, is a disturbing element in the otherwise excellent finanelai condition of the country, and a positive hindranee to any in- ternational agreement looking to the free eoinage of both metals at a fixed ratio. Man- datery purchases by the Government of stated quantities of silver, and man arr coinage of the same into full legal- -tendtr dollars, are an unprecedented anomaly, and have proved futile, not only in restoring the value of silver, but in staying the downward that metal. There were in circulation on November 10. the present year, 60,008,480 silver dollars, eee than $i per capita, the Temainder, 283, 589. 5 being stowed away in Government vaults, of which $277,319,944 were covered by outstand- ing certificates. No proper effort has been spared by the Treasury Department to put in circulation the dollars coined under this law. They have been shipped, upon demand, from the mints and sub-treasuries, free of charge, only to find the way back into Treasury vaultsin payment ot Government dues and taxes. Surely tue steck of these dollars which can perform any us function as a circulat- ing medium must acon be reached, if it has not been already, and the further coinage and storage of them will then become a waste of . money anda en upon the Treasury. he silver dollar has been maintained at par with gold, the monetary anit, mainly by the provisions of law which make it a full legal nder, and its representative, the silver cer- tificate, receivabie for customs and other dues. But the fact must not be overlooked that it is only in domestic trade that this parity has been retained ; in foreign trade the silver dollar possesses only a bullien value. Considering the cause of depreciation in value the Secretary cites the legislation in Europe and says the result has been, that while prior to 187] England and Portugal were the only nations of Europe whieh excluded silver as full legal-tender money, since the monetary disturbance of 1873.78 not a mint of Europe has been open to the coinage of silver tor individpais. He aleo concludes that the . $50,000,000 to $90, ot Indian council bills, payable in silver, annu- ally thrown upon the maxket affect t le price of silver as would the asle of so much bullion. That these council bills hang like an incubus upon the price of silver can not be doubted, and they must enter largely into any inquiry ag to the causes of depreciation, and into any estimate of the probable advance of ina. metal. THE CONCLUSIONS. After a long argument and a quetation from the British Royal Commission, ecretary Windom says: „it is unquestionably true that, in this ng; public sentiment and commercial industrial necegsity demand the joint use ot both métals as een ge as is not proposed to abandon the use doe or silver money; the utilization ear tbo metais as a — medium and asa basis for paper eurrency is believed we be essential to our na- ional prosperit 8222 nnot discard either, fwe would, wit * invoking the most ser- ious consequences, Yet it is equaily true that two widely different and constantly rade standards ft the W ee 0 values are im idle to 215 manent, well ordered, nancial 5 While our circulation new embraces _ silver coin and bate there is in ey 11975 * ard—gold coin of the ps os er Our ond currency is sed States bonds, the pri whieh are payable in | cates are expressly made: coin. 2 It may be saia th pene and me ne ries = . reality it is gold.

The Secretary then goes over the plans gen- erally proposed, including free coinage, which he says would be to reverse the results achieved by resumption, and finally rgeom- mends the following, strongly emphasizing it by underlining itin his report, and setting it inleadedtype: . Issue Treasury notes ggainst deposits of silver bullion at the market price of silver when deposited, payable on demand in such quantities of silver bullion as will equal in value, at the date of presentation, the number of dollars expressed on the face of the notes at the market price of silver, or in gold, at the option of the Government; or in silver dollars at the option ofthe holder. Repeal the com- pulsory feature of the present coinage act. He believes that in the application of its principies will be found the safest, surest and most satisfactory solution ofthe silver problem as it ig now presented forthe action of this country. In explaining the proposed measure, at is time, it is intended to deal only witb its general features, but if desired, a bill embracing the. details believed to be necessary to its satisfactory operation will be prepaged and submitted for the consideration of Congress. The proposition ia briefly this: To open the mints of the United States;to the free deposit of silver, the market value of the game (not to exceed 51 for 412.5 grains of standard silver) at the time of deposit, to be paid’ in treasury notess. said notes to be redeemable in the quan- tity of silver which could be purchased by the number of dollars expressed onthe face of the notes at the time presented for payment, orin gold, atthe option of the Government, and to be receivable for customs, taxes, and all public dues;and when re eived they may be reissued; and notes, when held by any na- tional- banking association,shall beeousted as part ofits lawful service. The Secretary of the Treasury should have discretionary power to suspend, temporarily, the 2 ts of silver bullion for ‘payments in notes, en neces- saty to PROTECT THE GOVERNMENT against combinations formed for the purpose giving an arbitrary and fictitious price to oliver f silver should advance between the date ofthe issue of a note and its payment the holder of the note would receive a less quantity of silver than he deposited, but the exactquantity of which could be bought in the market with the number of gold ‘dollars called ‘for by his note at che date of peymeps. It the price should decline he would receive more silver than he deposited, but the quan- tity which could be purchased with the num- ber of gold dollars called for by his note at the time presented for payment, The advantages of ag the option to redeem in gold are kurbel 1. It would give dla! credit to the notes. 2. It would prevent the withdrawal and re- deposit of silver for speculative purposes. 3. It would afford a convenient method of making change when “the weight of silver bars eats not correspond with the amount of the notes. OTHER LEGISLATION. Legislation is recommended looking toward the discontinuance of the coinage of the three- dollar and one-dollar gold pieces and tne three-cent nickle piece. The national banks now derive no profit from their circulation, and an actual loss is inflicted Spee the smalier banks, and upon those located jn the newer sections of the country, by reason of being obliged to purchase bonds at a high and stead- ily advancing premium, asa basis for circula- tion. A change in existing laws is necessary to prevent serious cantraction of the currency; by withdrawals fromthe system. Tne remedies proposed by the Comptroller are (I] a in the minimum of bonds Conpeliad to secure circulation; @) an in- crease in the percentage issued thereon in circulating notes, and ) a reduction of the tax now levied on circulation. These recom- mendations are approved. Disputes have arisen as to the res — jurisdictions of na- tional and State authorities as to immigration, as have also serious differences in the settie- ment of the accounts of certain State commis- sions, which were extraordinary and in ex- oe of accounts for like service and expenses other 1 These difficulties would be } Shy lated if the entire ere ip to im- migration were assumed by an neral Govern ment,and such action . nded.
