American securities are no longer held in Europe as they were a few years ago and each month reduces the bulk of these trans-Atlantic holdings. As a consequence it ia no longer possible for a flurry in the European motley market to cause a panic in the United States. On the contrary the American banks today arc able to withstand with ease assaults which ten years ago would hve wrecked them. The massing of wealth in this country Hot only fortifies financial interests against panics but by giving confidence and stability it insures the indeilnite continuance of our present era of j.ivspt-iity,
The conviction of the St. Louis boodlers has provoked the admiration and the commendation of the whole country, yet perhaps it might be well to withhold both Until some of these victims of justice are safely and snugly ensconced in the pen. Several of these wicked millionaires have been convicted and sentenced, but they still p&rade at liberty, having given bond pending the action of the Supreme court. Let us hear from this august body before we throw up our caps and emit a vast deal of fulsome praise.
A few days ago a well known citizen of Louisville was found dead in a park with a gaping gun shot wound in his brea-st and the gun at his side. Although a mas in moderate circumstances he was found to be carrying $3.30,000 life insurance, the. premiums on which would have fallen due the day after his death. Some people think it a case of accidental death while others incline to the opinion that it's jtist ohe more unique example of Kentucky chivalry at the expense ot the insurance companies.
The Standard Oil company explains that the recent raise •r three and a half ecnts a gallon on oil is due to a falling oft" in the productiveness of the lield. How unfortunate that the discovery of this slump should have synchiotiized with the coal famine. Bom* wicked people have been so unjust as to attribute the increased price to inn inclination on the part or the company to lake ati unfair advantage of the country's aeowsity. ...
William Jennings Rrvan. the peerless one, is now on a visit in Mexico, He is evidently there to see what aih the 4ivinb ratio and if pofsible to a veil the adoption of the #old standard by the Mexican goverarneat. .Mexico is losing millions every year.' however, by clmsiug to her archaic money standard *0 it is hardly piobable I hat even the presence of its high furiosi trill prevent its relegation to the r.ealm of the jb etc.
It is now announced that the Colombian government is ready to sum the canal treaty, demanding, however, more money than at first asked. This additional demand is a matter of small moment and will doubtless tw (untied to Without protest. 'What this country wants and must have is a grant of territory u» perpetuity for canal purposes.
The claim that Thomas* B. Red succeeded by Raving what }m thought is possibly true but it doesn't tollow that, every one else can mount, by doing likewise. If evelylwdy gave literal expression to their surging thoughts there would be all sorts of trouble. Incidentally the insane hospitals Would liste 4o be enlarged for the accommodation of the candid.
Pension Commissioner Ware insists that pensions should be withdrawn from men convicted of infamous crimes and is also opposed to the pensioning of men with deserters' records. If he isn't careful some of these iachrymosely righteous pension attorneys will discover he's agin the old soldier."

The country is still commenting with horror on the fact that in violation of the laws of Pennsylvania girl* of tender years have been forced to do night work in factories. And there is good reason for all the expressions of horror and indilation that have been given vent. The violation of the law in a few conscienceless quarters of Pennsylvania, is lamentable and deplorable, but it does not compare to conditions that flourish under the fostering laws of some of the southern states. These states have no child labor laws and have used this shameless argument, to draw mercenary manufacturers from the nothern states, when their hellish practice of dwarfing childhood was no longer countenanced. The slavery that ended with the civil war was humane and philanthropic is comparison with that which no\V vaunts itself unrebuked on the old slave soil.

Such an •'educational clearing housfe" as this, ariftpljr Endowed and judiciously administered, should be productive of great good. It is a hopeful feature of the scheme tnat it does not contemplate the organization of new institutions, but rather the strengthening of those already in existence which may need help. Iri the last ten years nearly $300,000,000 has been given to colleges afid universities, either by personal donatioh or by bequest, and of this siim a considerable portion has been given for the erection of new institutions. This is poor economy, and it fairly may be questioned whether, iri the end, as good results can be secured as by the strengthening of institutions already in operation. Scattered all over, the couhtrjr, and especially in the South, there bra excellent schools and colleges which barely manage by rigid ectWomy and small, salaries to get along. Their existence is a cahtinuous struggle which must interfere with their usefulness. Even in the East there are 3ome old and well-known colleges which are prevented by lack of funds from doing the work they are competeht to do.
There is another feature of this scheme which is of high importance to education. It docs not contemplate to arty considerable extent the purchase of real estate or the erection of buildings for educational institutions, thereby making them land and building poor, but rather the provision ot funds for running expenses and for actual maintenance. Ia almost every case wlierfc a. large donation has been made to a college it has been for buildings. This is natural, perhaps, because the donor likes to see a handsome building standing as a monument to his generosity whereas the appropriation of his money for paying salaries and meeting running expenses is not monumental in any sense. Fortunately, Mr. Rockefeller, having erected his monument on the Chicago Midway, has money enough left to help the general operating expenses of education all OVCr the country. In the end

New Educational Scheme.
The principle involved the new departure which Mr. John D. Rockefeller has taken with reference to. donations for educational purposes is a sound one. He is understood to be the moving spirit behind the bill which has passed both houses of congress for the incorporation of a j^fvefal education board, with headquarters at Washington, whose field of labor will be the advancement in different ways of popular education, aad toward which he will give a sum variously staled at b*ttoewi 60 aftd 100,000,000. The details of the scheme include the equipment of primary normal and training schools the addition to them, Where needed, of libraries, Workshops and other accessories the einpldyment of teachers and lec turers the creatioli of new professorships the organization of scholarships for needy students and other measures in the interest of tne extension of education.

The Privileges of American Represiti tativ««. It is fortunate that Mr. Hunter, our minister.to Guatemala, disclaims any official connection with the legation on the part of his son, who is charged with killing an American resident in that country. On the contrary, the minister asserts that his son was engaged in private business, and ia that capacity, of bourse, he is amenable to the laWs of Guatemala. There see ins to be no doubt that had the young man been employed by his father as an amanuensis, or in any other Way, he would have been exempt froiti Guatemalan Jurisdiction. Under the act of April 30, 1890, the arrest of even a domestic Servant of a foreign minister.in the United States is illegal, the process invalid, and persons knowingly concerned in the arrest are liable to prosecution. What we concede to otner eOuxrtries we are entitled to require from them. It is also to be borne in mind that if the privilege of exemption from Guatemalan jurisdiction could fairly be claimed by young Hunter, our state department, however reluctant to shield a person accused of a grave crime, might well hesitate to Waive the privilege in Hunter's ease, owing to the danger of establishing a, precedent of the kind,
Indian Man and Maids at" Work.
Under the new interior department rule for ablebodied Indians, thirty Sioux warriors have begun to earn their rations as laborers in railroad construction in Nebraska. At thtir head is Sitting Bull, Jr., son Of the great chief and one of the few remaining genuine American prihees. The red men being more trustworthy, work more satisfactorily than many white-men who have preceded them. It- is surely an irony of fate thai.they should be promoting by their racial heritage of strength the great highway agency which hae been conspicuously instrumental in making sure their subjection as a race. Hut at any rate their energy, and faithfulness are giving the lie to the sour soldier theory that "the only good Indian is a dead one," and are proving that reservation life ha§ not quite enervated the tribesmen.
At this some time, curiously, word comes from the frest of the successful installation of Indian girl? house hold servant*. Five thousand of them are reported to have been engaged for domestic service in Kansas City, St. Louis, thy c*£o, Denver, and otttfr cities. These girls are from the Chilafco find Haskell school?. They arc pronounced as a rule, faithful, polite and unobtrusive.

Christmas holds for every one something of Badness. It bring* to light the retrospect of years pastj tefti •roUWs A feeling of seriousness as to- sthot the succeeding year shall brihg forth. Such a feeling as this rs never abstttt evert to«ay but in the Christmases ©f the first five years of the sixties the iflefrry Christmas time held at best a very "bitter sWeelrtfcss."
L. Burget was asked yesterday to tell something of the tim# from the old S41' diets' standpoint. "Christmas Was to us in the army," he said, "much as any other day. We Were Rent an details we were compelled to lie iff trtrtiehess we had to subsist on just what we sbiltd get. Christmas never «iUariim»d away for us the grim reality of war. There was always, however, a sort of hoine^ick feeling peculiar to tli£ holifa.y tlni^. Boxes would come for us, and they tyould recall home scenes more tivftfly than at othet tima. The faet that th* haMS of our mothers, or wives, or sisters touci.nd or fashlotiea the thing# eat and wear, and tha-t they were sending them to us With siich floHcitude for our comforts seemed td give US a sense of nearness which wae not experienced at any other time.
As to any special escaipatiea at the holidal periods, such as purloining turkeys, or ventures of that sort, there were none that I can remember. The truth of the matter is that We had little time for sentiment. Tn the Army of .the OumbeHRftd. and with all thfi Western troops, where the Indiana boys were mostly to be found, we were kept so continually on the jump and had to b# so generally on the alert that any diversions' in the Way of CHtiSWntS festivities were never eVeh thought of.
Knights Templar* tieeted. At the annual meeting of the Terre Haute Comftiandery, Itnlifhts Templars Saturday ni?ht, officers Wire elected as ftrtlows:
Edward B. Either, E. C. John Ft. Coffin, G. George A. Shaw. (i. &. William H. facksori, prelate. ^waid tt. rtelttrah, trenaurer." James K. Allen, recorder. Wnttftm T. Br»Wn. fe. W. Samuel Wass, 3. W. (Charles G. Reynolsl's, warder. The appointive officers win be announced at the time of the instattation.
Puijvlir/r J.vriot what is needed. thing- to do is to put the food in tonAifion to lie readily digested and assimilated. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do this perfectly. They partly di?ftst what is eaten and-give the stotoatfh jtf$t the help it needs. They atimulatw the Recrstion and excretion of the digestive Aufifa and relieve tlwi cotrgested confition of the glands and meirtWanes. They^ put the whole digestive ny«l!m in condition to do its work. When that is don« you neei take no mt»re. tablets, unless you eat what does not agree wlth you. Then take oue or two tablets—give them, freed* cd help and you will have no trouble.
It's a Common sense mwliclne. and a common- senset reatttesit and it will cure every- time. Xot. only cuie tiie- disease but cute the cause. shout it in perfectly sensible and afcientifie way.

If the weather has had any effect oil trade it was to ittettease the business of the shoe dealers and tlothiera. Satur-
Wa» a banner dty for all kinds of trade, although the weather indicated that little would be done alobjg the com1 mercial line.
The streets were thronged With Christ* mas shoppers Saturday evening, and the business of tne stores was, generally speaking, the heaviest thus far in the holiday trade. Ofte effect of the weathef espeeiftlly noticeable to shoe dealers ii that fewer slippers are being Sdld this year than usual. People who ordinarily would give their friends slippers as remembrancer are giving them mere sub?t6T»tinl nnd mow sensfble shoes, and the revenue of the shoe dealer correspond* ingly increases.
Aft evidence of the general prosperity of the country is to be seen in the fact tliaf. more expensive Christmas presents are being purchased this season than a year ftgo. D. H. Slider, the art dealer^ said yesterday evpnin? thrt whfefe he could not sell the higher priced pictures a year ago he found no difficulty in receiving $6 each for paintings, and many extraordinarly high priced articles have been disposed of.
T.he grocers have not felt the wave of Christmas trade as much as other merchants. but. are preparing for a hard Week beginning today. Poultry dealers are at. a loss to know where turkeys enough for the Christmas table are to come from and say the number of fowls eaten will fall far beow t!n» uwnl ma.rk. This is partly, due to the high price and partly to the difficulty in securing turkeys of the size desired.
