DR. BENSON'S SUCCESSOR

RT. REV. FREDERICK TEMPLE MADE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY. Wan Biahop of London for !V early Twelve Years, and Once n Chaplain to the Queen. LONDON. Oct. 25. The Rt. Rev. Frederick Temple, bishop of London, lias been appointed Archbishop or Canterbury and Primate of all England, in succession to the late Most Rev. Edward White Benson, The Ri. Rev. Frederick Temple, D. D., bishop oi' Lodon, is a son of an officer in the army. He was born Nov. 30. 1821, was educated at the grammar school at Tiverton, and proceeded to Oxford, became a scholar of Balliol College and took his degree of B. A. in 1842. He was elected fellow and mathematical tutor of his college, and, having been ordained in 1846, was appointed principal of the training college at Kneller Hall, near Twickenham, in 184S. This post he resigned in 1855, and, having held an inspectorship of schools during the interval, was appointed, on the resignation of Dr. Coulburn, in 1.85.8, liead master of Rugby school. Dr. Temple, who was a chaplain to the Queen, gained some notoriety in 1N60 as the author of the first of the seven "Essays and Reviews," which caused so much controversy soon after their appearance. At the general election of 1S(J8 Dr. Temple took an active part in Warwickshire in support of Mr. Gladstone's measure for the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and the Premier nominated him to the bishopric of Exeter, in succession to the late Dr. Philpotts, an appointment which caused considerable comment in clerical circles. The confirmation of Dr. Temple's election took place Dec. 8, 18iJ9, at the Church of St. Mary Le Bow, Cheapside, when Bishop Trower. as the representative of a portion of the 'clergy who were opposed to Dr. Temple because he was the author of one of the "Essays and Reviews." instructed counsel to oppose the election. Counsel was according ly heard on both sides, and Dr. lempieg election was confirmed by the v leur-gen eral. Dr. Temple received Episcopal eonse eration at Westminster Dee. 21. 1889. to gether with the bishops-elect of Bath and Wells and of the Falkland islands. Dr..

ALBI. France, Oct. 25. Great festivities attended the opening to-day of the co operative glass factory, which has been put up by the former strikers of the Carmaux glass works. The strike, which grew out of the discharge of a member of the glassworkers' trade union last year, was transformed into a lockout when the m;n notified their man agement of their willingness to return to work. Great excitement was caused by the incident throughout France, and efforts were made to induce the French Minister to intervene in the dispute and secure Jus tice for the workingmen. The Paris Mun?cipal Council voted large sums of money to support the strikers, and many other municipalities all over the country followed suit. M. Landrin. of the Paris Municipal Coun cil, at to-day's ceremony, saluted the workers in the name of Paris. M. Henri Rochefort delivered a speech, und with M. Jaures, the Radical Socialist Deputy for Carmaux, who was prominently identified with the championship of the cause of the strikers, lit the furnace. At an open-air meeting M. Jaures declared that the present movement had founded a social revolution and marked tho downfall cf capitalism. Turkey 3Iay Fall to Piece. LONDON, Oct. 26. The Standard's Con stantinople correspondent says: "The purchase of arms during the week has been most extensive, and a feeling of vague un easiness and alarm is spreading rapidly. The palace hopes to distract the attention of the Moslems in Constantinople from its own misdeeds by holding out a prospect of unlimited loot. ' An Athens dispatch to the same paper says: "Reports from all parts of Turkey point to the complete dislocation of the administrative machine and an absence of all justice and public security. The en voys have sent a collective note to the Porte of the strongest character in view of the critical situation." Prince Ansnst Married. BERLIN, Oct. 25.

European Street HiillnnjH to He Pur chased by it Syndicate. CLEVELAND, O., Oct, 25. The purchase of street-railway systems in Europe by an international syndicate of capitalists, the scope of which was partly outlined in a recent dispatch from St. Louis, is the greatest business enterprise now on foot in the entire world. Additional information on the subject was obtained to-day from a gen tleman who is financially interested in the success of the syndicate's operations. The Americans at the head of the enterprise are James lioss and a Mr. Mackenzie, of Montreal. Mr. Ross Is Immensely wealthy, la a director in the Bank of Montreal and is heavily Interested in the Northern Pa cific railroad and Canadian street railroads. He can command capital to an almost unlimited extent. It is stated that with him are a number of Americans on this side of the Canadian line who have become wealthy as street-railroads operators, also a number of English. German and Dutch bankers, aji well as the great house f Rothschild. These Kentlemen find the street railway of Europe where those in America were left years ago. They see abundant cpportunlty to make a great deal of money

by bringing them up to the present American standard. They not only have the underground railways of London in view, but are prepared to operate in Berlin. Paris and other large European cities. The syndicate, in fact, has already gained possession of the street-railway system of Birmingham, England, and is operating It. The trolley electric system will not be tolerated in Europe and compressed air will be used. Compressed air has been the motive power on a Paris railroad for the last fifteen years, but its complete success was prevented by Inability to obtain reservoirs which would sustain for any length of time the great air pressure needed. An American named Kellogg has invented a seamless tube which will hold air at a pressure of 5,000 pounds to the square inch, and it was mainly this fact that led to the formation of the syndicate. A company to make the tubing has been formed in Boston, and the factory has been in operation for some time at Find lay, O., in the midst of the natural gas region. The gas Is failing and the factory will be moved and re-

estaoiisneci at a cost or j,ou.wj it ail the plans of the syndicate go through. Cleveland. Newcastle, Pa., and two other cities are being considered as places for the new factory, and within a few weeks a proposition will be made to the Chamber of Commerce of this city. A number of pneumatic motor street cars are now being maoe at w orcester, .uass., to ship to Blr mingham. COOL-HEADED PREACHER. Hla Presence of Mi ml Probably Averted n, Panic in Church. CHICAGO, Oct. 25. By rare presence of mind the Rev. Dr. James Vila Blake saved his congregation from panic and pos slble awful results of a fire, which broke out Just as the morning service was begin ning at the Third Unitarian Church to-day, and which destroyed the main part of the building. When the pastor took his place in the pulpit his attention was drawn to smoke in the lobby leading to the Sundayschool room. He remained standing un til the organist had ceased playing, and men requested the congregation to retire quietly by tho rear exit. His manner so reassured those assembled that a panic was averted. The church was almost entirely destroyed. The loss is placed at ?;,wu. Other Fires. LAWRENCE, Mass., Oct. 26. The Washington mills, which form one of the largest cotton and dress goods manufacturing hrms in the city, were badly damaged by nre, which broke out about half an hour before midnight. It was caused by spontaneous combustion among wool. It is estimated the loss to the Washington corporation will be tto.000. and may possibly reach Su.OOO. fully covered by insurance.

Fire broke out early this evening m the lumber plies on the mill plant premises of the Central Lumber Company at ZUwaukee, six miles down the river, and about 8,000,000 feet cf lumber was destroyed. The fire departments of Saginaw anu Bay City assisted in fighting the flames. The loss will approximate $150,000. and is understood to be fairly covered by insurance. GALVESTON, Tex., Oct. 25.-The most disastrous cotton fire in the history of Galveston occurred early this morning, resulting in the destruction of 4,400 bales and the warehouse in which they were stored.

Tender Sympathy Aroused by a Hoosier Tale of Woe. Kansas City Journal. Following close on the heels of Bryan's visit to Indianapolis comes the report that the Hoosier State is suffering from another grievous infliction. The deadly "persimmon worm" has again laued from his lair and is seeking whom he may devour. Like ths wicked, of whom David spoke: "He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den; he lieth in wait to catch the poor; he doth catch the poor when he draweth him into his net." and the people are in deadiy fear. The Indiana persimmon worm takes up his abode on the persimmon trees of that State, hence his name. This habit of the worm, however, is but a deep and crafty scheme to entrap the Hoosiers, for he does not eat persimmons. Every morning wher. the inhabitants, according to immemorial custom, wend their way to the nearest grove for a breakfast supply of the pulpy fruit the worm is on the qui vive and the lower limbs and pounces upon the unsuspecting persimmon eater with horrible malignity. It is the early worm that catches the Hoosier, and he does his work well. One man has already fallen a victim to the frightful scourge. He belonged to the genus Smith, if the truthful newspaper correspondent may be relied on; possibly his other name was John, although cm this point the annals are silent. Mr. Smith, on going out one morning recently, near Sodom, for a supply of persimmons to furnish forth the matutinal meal, was bitten on the left hand by an ambushed worm and soon died. "When his dead body was found." quoting the veracious historian, "the arm and side had swollen immensely and had turned the color of tobacco juice" awful proofs of the virulence of the toxic fluids carried by the persimmon worm, unless, possibly, it can be shown that Mr. Smith had swallowed his quid. On this point there Is as much difference of opinion In and around Sodom as there is about the free coinage of silver. Mr. Smith, being dead, cannot speak for himself, and the worm has removed his base of operations to some other tree. But even if the theory of the persimmon worm is rejected. Indiana is entitled to deep sympathy just the same, for the malignancy of the free-silver craze in that State cannot be disputed. The Sound-Money Democrats. Miami County Sentinel (Dem.) The National Democrats who refuse to accept the fallacies of the Chicago convention as exponential of Democratic principles. Mr. Bryan likens unto the prodigalson who went off to feed swine, and he said that they would have to saw wood a long, long "time before the fatted calf wculd be killed when they take a notion to return. Return to what? They have never departed from the father's house. They are at home working manfully for the old household, keeping ablaze tne nre upon the hearth, guarding careiully the family al tar. Is Mr. Bryan and nis tonowers who are feeding with the swine. They have deserted the old homestead that cradled them and have gone into a strange country and are worshiping false gods. It Is theirs to repent and ask forgiveness. If they will return from the political morasses into which they have wandered, and renounce the false gods thev are worshiping, become repentant and asK iorgivtness. tney may tVin have to "saw wood" until they showthat their repentance is complete. 3Iovements of Steamers.

ALL T0LLGATES DESTROYED.

Raiders Have Made All the Roads in One Coanty Free. FRANKFORT, Ky., Oct. 25 The toll-gate raiders have not left a tollgate on a single pike in Franklin county undisturbed, and the owners of these roads are very much incensed at the destruction of their proper ty and will take action to bring the raiders to justice. Saturday night a mob of about one hundred men came down the Lawrenc burg pike destroying all the tollgates as they entered Frankfort. Tney mn went out the Louisville pike rrom Frankfort, laying to the ground the. gates as they rode alcng in the moonlight nd defying interference by the tollgate keepers. The raiders tre thought to have come from Anderson county and bordering on the Anderson and r ranKiln county line. Josenn Kotnnsou. one of the largest stockholders of the Louisville road, was notified Saturday that the raiders were coming. Detectives have been put to work on the case and the next meeting of the Franklin county grand jury will turn up some surprises. THE 31 IN OR COINAGE. Money in Circulation Which I Neither Gold Nor Silver. New York Sun. In this year's controversy over gold and silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1, or any other, all consideration of minor coinage and the minting of metals not considered precious by the treasury officials has been largely sidetracked. Yet of such minor money neither gold nor silver nor bills, there was nominally outstanding nt the beginning of the present year $26,00U.000,though how much was actually outstanding is not perfectly clear, for with the lapse of time there is always a large loss of minor coins, as there is of paper currency, whereas gold and silver, especially the former, are practically Indestructible. The great buik of the minor coinage of the United States, however, is still extant. There are, first of all, the five-cent nickel pieces composed of 75 per cent, copper and 25 per cent, nickel, though called nickel pieces, to the amount of $13,500,000. These five-cent pieces began to be coined in l&Sti, and since 187:5 they have been legal tender up to 25 cents. Then there are the three-cent nickels. the coinage of which was begun in March, 1805, and was discontinued In September, lttH). They weighed thirty grains each, and are composed, as the.5-cent pieces, of 75 per cent, copper and 25 per cent, nickel. The total value of these S-cent coins is less than $1,000,000. They are legal tender up to 25 cents. Then come, In the declining scale, the 2-cent pieces coined before 1864 and rather large, weighing, as some old readers of the Sun will concur In believing, ninety-six grains each. These 2-cent pieces were of bronze, composed of S5 per cent, copper and 5 per cent, of tin and zinc together. There are $'.)00,000 worth of them still outstanding. There are three grades of pennies known to the Treasury Department of the United States and government mint. First, chief, and most familiar are the ordinary bronze pennies, such as one pays for the Evening Sun; for instance, the penny with the Indian's head on one side, and the shield of the United States, a laural wreath, some arrows, and the words "One Cent" on the other. These pennies weigh forty grains each, and are composed, as were the old 2-cent pieces, of 95 per cent, copper and 5 per cent, tin and zinc mixed. They are legal tender up to 25 cents, and there are $7,500,000 of them outstanding. They date back their origin to 1864, and continue to be coined by the government as convenience or necessity requires. Then there are the nickel pennies of whitish color which antedate the beginning of the civil war, having been authorized by act of Congress in 1857. Their mintage was suspended in 1864, but notwithstanding this there are still more than $2,000. 000 worth of them outstanding, bearing always, it may be noticed, dates earlier than 1864. They are called nickel cents, but have really only 12 per cent, of nickel to 8S per cent, of copper. The oldest of American cents are. in fact, not cents at all. but coppers. Their coinage was provided for in 1792. and they had the cumbersome weight of 2'5-t grains each. Subsequently this was reduced to 208 and ultimately to 168" grains, but even at the latter rate the old-fashioned penny or copper is recalled as a cumbersome affair. It was made of copper, and though the coinage of these coppers was discontinued in ls-7 there were at the beginning of the present year $1,562,877.44 of them outstanding. The copper pennies date back more than a century, but there is an American coin of contemporary orif-in which is rarely if ever seen nowadays, and, in,, the scale of value ranks before even thp old-fashioned copper penny. It is what is known as the. copper half cent. The coinage of these copper ha'pennies was authorized by act of Congress in April, 1792, and they weighed originally 1. '2 grains, or about three times as much as the pennies now in use. Two of them had the same value as a penny, but the two weighed six times more than the penny of to-day. Subsequently their weight was reduced until at last it was got. down to eighty-four grains each, and ultimately, in 1S57, the coinage of them was abandoned. There are now less than $40,000 of the ha'penny coppers outstanding, and it is generally supposed that most of them have been lost, for certainly they are rarely seen in active use. DOWN IN KENTUCKY. Bryanitea Rage While Sound-3Ioney Democrats Work Hard. Louisville Letter in Washington Post. The souiid-monev men have all the news papers, too. The only silver daily in Kentufkv dh-fl of starvation only a few days ago. The managers at the silver headquar ters, who are inexperienced and ungracious persons, insist that the press of Kentucky has been bought up by Mr. Hanna, but say that they don t care a tuppence, or words to that effect, because the people lire with Bryan, and do not listen to, what the corrupt and capitalistic, venom-squirting hirelings, and all that sort of thing write any more. One. hears a great deal of choice language at the silver headquarters. If he should attempt to quote what was said about President Cleveland, Secretary Car lisle. Mr. Hanna and the Courier-Journal, particularly, this edition of the Post would not be allowed transmission through the mails. It seemed to be about an even thing between the President and Mr. Hanna, Mr. Kinley's name was scarcely mentioned. xne most convincing eviuence inui jxeiituckv is going for McKinley is the way the Brvan men talk. They will tell you in one breath that half the workingmen who are wearing McKinley buttons are going to vote for Bryan, and in the next breath that Hanna has shoveled tne money into the State and purchased the labor vote "like sheep at the shambles." They claim that he has bribed all the clergymen In the country, and one of them says that he knows abso'utely that Archbishop Ireland was paid $1,000 for writing that letter. They say that all the lawyers are in the pay of the corporations and trusts, and are therefore compelled to vote for McKinley; that all the wholesale dealers are for the Republican ticket because the retail dealers throughout the State would boycott them if thev were not: and then, before the words are dry cn their lips, they will turn round and assert that the stories in the Courier-Journal about the business men of Kentucky being for McKinley are pure fakes. Thev sav that they have made fl canvass of the State, and know to a certainty that not one merchant in ten in tends to support tne itepuoucan iickci. A member of the executive committee of the Democratic party, who is assisting to roanaes the camiaiim and is usually about headquarters, tells that Hanna has assessed the national banks ot tne country tnrougn tho Controller of the Currency $1,000 each and had thus raised a fund of $12,000,000. When I told him how many national txintts thorp were, and made a little mathematical calculation to show that such a fund could not reach anywhere near a minion, ne turned on me and declared that all newspaper men were in Hanna' a pay. and were not able to ten tne trutn aunon. When vou pin the Bryan men down to figures they will claim that he is certain of from 25.000 to 30.010 majority, and will probably get 40.000. Then when you enter Into details thev become very mysterious and decline to tell where the vote is coming from. At last, after you have crowded them into a corner they will admit that they are depending upon "that great army of honest working men," who have been "coerctd" into McKinley , clubs, but "will assert themselves at the polls.' That is. no doubt, an uncertain quantity, but the Bryan managers do not know anything about it. They have made no canvass, they have had no experience i the management of camnaigns. and they- do not know the State. Every intelligent supporter nf Mr. Bryan realizes that if he does carry Kentucky it will be because of his strength with the farmers and common people, which could not be overcome by the stupiditv of his committees. At the sound money headquarters there is no mystery, no disorder, but everything is conducted upon strict business principles, under the direction of the ablest business men in the State. They have an organization that covers three-fourths of the counties in Kentucky and in most of them to the school districts. In the strong Republican counties they have not attempted to do any work. They will tell you that they have 32.000 men enrolled in sound money clubs, who have never voted anv other than the Democratic ticket, anct that they expect to incr ease that number to 40.COO before the election. If you want to know who these men are they will show vou 'lists, of their names. There ts nc secrecy about it. Nor do they conceal

their desire and expectation that the greater part of them will vote for MeKinlev, perhaps 20.0CU. none of whom voted for Bradley. They do not deny, that Candidate Palmer is a stalking horse. They do not attempt to presume upon the creduality of any one. They are working to beat Brvan and prevent the passage ot a free coinage law, and they want everybody to know it. INFERNAL 3I1SCIIIEF.

EvI! Effect That Will Follow the Bryunite Campaign. New York Tribune. The wickedness of this Bryanite campaign of lies and forgeries would be sufficiently damning if it were to be contined to the campaign and to end with election day. It is an infamous thing to utter falsehoods for the sake of misleading men and inducing them to vote otherwise than as they would if they heard only the truth, let this is what Mr. Brvan and his managers are endeavoring to do. They began with a wanton and malicious forgery on the editorial page of Mr. Bryan's own paper, under his name as editor a forgery which has been repeatedly exposed, but never yet, far as can be ascertained, retracted. They went on to attribute false provisions to the Constitution, to garble and distort a letter of Prince Bismarck's, to Invent a spurious speech and credit to Lincoln, to falsify and lie about a Tribune editorial, and to do innumerable other jobs of the same kind. Their latest such performance unhappily, it is to be feared, not their last is the publication of what purports to be a circular letter sent out by the secretary of the Bankers' Association, couched in infamous language, of which it is to be said that no such letter was ever written and no such secretary of such an association ever existed. We are told that Mr Rn-on Atr St .Tnhn and other managers of the Popocratic campaign -are personally honest and honorable ii pussioie mat tney aeem mis honest and honorable political warfare?

TO DEFEAT TELLER. Combination Against Him in Colora do, Hended by Senator Wolcott. Denver Republican (Free Silver.) If Senator Wolcott ran nppnryiiiki, defeat of Senator Teller next' January in the State Legislature, he can have the portlonu to ionuon, if McKinley is elected, and Ifthe of Cousin Ed's ambition. The junior Senator is fighting to gain the prize as he never fought before, and if the people are not careful he may succeed. All the money he requires will be lit his command. State Senator Callahan, of Montana wna a caller on Chairman Broad, of the Bepub-iii-in 7iaic ecu u ai committee, mis weeK, and stated that he was elven a letter in read from J. B. Haggin, of the Anaconda property, written in New York, saying that a fund of $250,000 was being raised there to defeat Senator Teller, and that $50,000 had already been dispatched to Denver, subject to the order of Senator Wolcott. The letter was written to one of the most prominent men in Montana, one who has aided largely the silver cause. Mr. Haggin gave the in formation not because either he or his cor respondent were interested in the defeat of the silver champion, bJt as a new and important feature in the campaign. Not only is the Wolcott machine supplying the Populists, but it is working industriously to secure the election of a Populist Governor. The Wolcott managers an nounce this publicly and privately; they are teuing tneir tools to work for Bailey, and they are giving the result of their past experience in questionable politics to the Populists to help them on the State ticket. With the legislative ticket it is different. The Wolcott forces are bending all their energies to secure the election of this end of their ticket, while on the other hand the Populists are paying no attention whatever to their legislative ticket in this county. When the votes are counted it will be found that there is a great discrepancy in the number cast for the county and the State tickets of both the Populists and McKinley! tes. There Is a deal by which the Populists will sell out to Wolcott their legislative ticket on the understanding that he will support the State ticket. If the McKinleyites can get a sufficient number of the Legislature to make it a stand off, they will depend on bribery to do the rest. Itryunlte View of New York.' Washington Special in New York Evening Post.. ; A letter received In this city from an intelligent man who is serving the Bryan Democratic party in New York as chairman of his county committee describes the situation as he sees it as follows: "There never was a campaign in the State of New York which began to approach the present one for Democratic discouragement. At the meeting of chairmen of county committees the other day we received reports from all parts of the State, and they were substantially of one tenor: 'We have no money, no literature, no newspapersnothing but organization, and that is pretty empty when you have nothing to set it to work on.' The only thing which was not utterly disheartening at our meeting was the statement of one or two chairmen that in their counties they understood that there were some farmers who had formerly been Republicans, but were going to vote our ticket this year. When questioned closely, however, they admitted that they did not know these farmers personally and could not vouch for their position: and we certainly have not sen any of them yet. Everywhere It is McKinley. McKinley. The best figures we could make from what we learned gave McKinley about 250,000 majority in New York State. I have seen in the newspapers Reed's estimate of 300.000 to 400,000, but I think that Is a little steep. "Business is very dull up our way. After McKinley's election and the settlement of the money question we look for a revival and better times." Playinsr a Sure ThliiK. Kansas City Journal. A novel bet was made in Kansas the other day by two well-known politicians one a Democrat and the other a Republican the occasion being a discussion over whether Bryan really believed in his own election and whether Chairman Jones, of the Democratic national committee, was sincere in the bulletins which he is putting cut. The Republican wagered $25 against rn equal sum from the Democrat that within a week after the election Bryan would appear in a published statement declaring that he knew he could not be elected, at the same time congratulating himself and the free-silver party upon the uphill fight which they had made and predicting victory in lytK). It was also Included in the wager that Chairman Jones would appear In a newspaper interview declaring that he had known for two months before the election that Brym's ea.se was hopeless and that the free-silver cause had made a better showing than he really had expected, considering the tremendous odds it had to fight against. To a disinterested outsider it would appear that this Republican should be arrested and sent to prison under the crimes act which prohibits the manipulation of a "sure thing" game. A "Horizontal" Blow. Washington Special. The desertion of Col. William R. Morrison, coining as it does at a time when everything-is in a quiver of excitement and evidences of. defeat are developing in every llrertion, has almost the force of a knockout blow. It has been known that Colonel Morrison was dissatisfied w-itn the Chicago ;j?tform and ticket, but a dozen newspaper men who interviewed him before he left Washington for the West received the impression that ho would swallow the dose ind support the ticket. Now. for him to ome out and declare that he deems the election of Mr. Bryan a bad thins serves

to Intensify the demoralization. It is really

one or the most sensational incidents of the campaign. The biow falls with startling effect. A similar statement from Hill would be tame in comparison. lecause Hill's In tluence in the middle West is small com pared with that of Colonel Morrison, whose loyalty to his party has never heretofortbeen In dispute. For Colonel Morrison to desert at this particular time fins the Popo cratic managers with alarm. It is not a case of rats deserting a sinking ship.- for the wi dest Imagination cannot picture Col onel Morrison as a rat. but it is a separa tion of the last strand of the I'e that bound stalwart, old-time Democracy to the revo lutionary combination of anarchy, repu 1'lation and freak ideas represented under the leadership of Bryan-Sewall-W atson Nothing that has occurred thus far during th campaign has so thorougniy and utter ly demoralized the Bryan leaders as the Colonel Morrison episode. NOT LEARNED ENOIGH. Bishop Keunf'R Deposition Ine to m. Lnek of Illtth Scholarship. Washington Letter. I have heard from a very reliable source an entirely new interpretation of Bishop Keane's deposition, which is. that it is due to Cardinal Satolli having discovered his learning to be inadequate to the htgn otnee he filled. Bishop Keane is as distinctly American to the history of his success as he is American in seatlment and poncy. He Ls a self-made man. of the large heart ed, clean-sou ;ed. practical-minded Amen can order. He came to this country a poor boy from Ireland, and but comparatively few years ago was an assistant priest in neither the wealthiest nor most advanced Washington parish. His elevation to a bishopric was in natural accord .un nis popular and practical qualifications, but the refinements and skill, tne stiDiie power, of such learning as qualities a theologian at Rome for high ofiices. Bishop Keane does not possess. Cardinal tea tout does however, and it is bv the Roman standard of ecclesiastical excellence that Bishop Keane has been tried and found wanting. More than a year ago Cardinal Satolli frankly told Bishop Keane that he considered him unfitted to occupy the place he dU In a. seat of learninsr like the university, This fact becoming known among the faculty, which is composed of men eminent for their learning. I am told there followed something like an incuisitorial experience for Bishop Keane's intellect. He was trifle, a tare-et for theolocical riddles and conundrums of canon law. until no doubt could be left in his own mind or tne perfortiv superficial character cf his karninft. There is not the remotest chance of Bishop Kpanp sueceedintr himself in office, as some of the ultra-Americans of the church have insisted would be done. Moreover, the dissensions in the church, which have been made conspicuous by recent events at the university, do not possess the radical significance in many quarters ascribed to them. They are mere dust in tne air wnicn unv iiasstntr wind mn v raise, and not at all anything like a movement of mountains to crush the chair of St. Peter's in any anti-American position it may take. In spite of the intense Americanism ot eminent priests and laymen now rampant, it will speedily be revealed mat tne ruie ui obedience in the Catholic church ls to-day no loss than at any previous time expressed by the words of St. Augustine: "Rome has spoken; tho controversy is endtd. Hanna Bets on North Carolina. Chicago Dispatch in Now York Herald. V,, nnr toll nnr frl.Mlfls In the KaSt.' 1WU 1 1 1 .1 J VM said Marcus A. Hanna. chairman ot the Republican national committee. io-u-, "that when thev speak of doubtful States in the middle West they are speaking of ..n.v.in. v,ot .innti rrt ovist: 1htrc are no doubtful States in the middle West, in my . 1 nnvr opinion. I Was never more uuimurniui thing than 1 am oi tne eiecuun ui ley and Hobart." "What States do you concede to Bryan? "Only those which I conceded in my table last Saturday night." "And the situation is improving? "It is. It is improving in every direction. "What about Kentucky?" "I am sure we will carry Kentucky; lr fact. I have never had the slightest doubt of it. We are getting good reports from all sides." ... "What arc some of themT "Well, to-day we have received encouraging reports from North Dakota, from South Dakota, from Nebraska and from Kansas. I expect.we will carry all of these States." "Are there any others where the Improved outlook has impressed you? ' "Yes North Carolina and Missouri. I bet a suit of clothes last night that North Carolina would go for McKinley." The SlKnllioant Thing:. New Y'ork Post. The story that Mr. Bryan applied for the position of press agent with a traveling theatrical company only a few weeks before he was nominated for President Is denied both bv him and the manager who was gien as authority for it. The really significant thing Vbout the story is. not whether it was true or false, but that Mr. Lryan is the sort of man and has had the sort of career that render such an application on his part not incredible, or even surprising. Hitherto candidates for the presidency have been men with a record fcr privat" achievement and public service which "furnished some basis for confidence in their capacity to administer the most important executive office in the land. The "boy orator" has no record of j?olid achievement, in either law. journalism, or public life, and a man of his filghty temperament, with no better outlook for the future than he had a few months ago, was as likely as not to think of trying his luck as press agent for a theatrical company, in the lack of anything batter. It is not from among men of this type that the American people have elected Presidents in the past, and there is no reasin to believe that their attitudo has changed this year. Possible Successor to Crisp. Washington Special. The death of Ex-Speaker Crisp ls a blow to a multitude of sincere personal and political friends in the national capital. He was personally the most popular Speaker since the days of Blaine, and in his relations in and out of Congress was an exceeding amiable gentleman. Of course, his strongest affiliations were Southern, but his popularity was far from being sectional. If he had lived his election to the Senate by the Georgia Legislature next winter was a foregone conclusion. The death of Mr. Crisp brings ex-Secretary Hoke Smith prominently into the foreground. Smith is now the strongest personality in Georgia politics, and even with his gold views, modified to some extent, he may pull off the prize. He will be opposed bv Governor Atkinson and possibly by Howells, of the Atlanta Constitution. Farmers and Their Wheat. Washington Special. By way of contribution to the general fund of information as to the profits realizable by the farmers of the Northwest from the rise in the price of wheat. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad; W. JJ. wasnnurne arid cnanos piiishiirv wire a New York paper their views and estimates. Mr. Hill says tJtat up to Oct. 1 only la per cent, or spring wneat had been moved. Mr. Washburne says that at least 50 per cent, of this year's crop still remains in farmers' hands, and that fully 20 per cent, of the crop has been marketed bv producers at the advanced quotations. Mr. Pillsbury says farmers of the Northwest have marketed one-half their crop during he last fifty days and hold the other half. Campaign Literature All Out. Washington Post. The last assignment of literature went ont from silver headquarters yesterday. "We are out of everything." said Secretary Difenderfer. "and will have nothing to send if requests are received." All the employes have been discharged with the exception of a few clerks. Mr. Difenderfer will remain here until the clo::e of the campaign. Republican headquarters are still receiving a few urgent calls for literature, but the stock of documents on hand ls rapidly being closed out. For several days It has not been possible to furnish all the documents asked for. and each applicant has leen granted a pcrtion only of what was requested. Down with Bryan und His Crew. New Haven Evening Register (Dem.) The man who raises hi3 voice in passionate appeals to all3ged class divisions is indeed a poor American. He and his cause, and all who believe in them, should be met face to face and overthrown. This Is a free country, and where there is real constitutional freedom there can be no class distinction.

'Government by injunction' has got to bo a favorite theme for the BryanHes. and I saw before leaving home a circular advertising, that a meeting was to tal.o p!a-e in Fort Wayne where that topla would be treated. The notice was printed in red ink. Eugene Debs lives at Terra Haute, and he has some followers. "I think it only the truth to say that a large number of the Democratic leaders in Fort Wayne and Allen county, men who have heretofore stood high in the councils of their party, have repudiated Mr. Bryan. Theru are others, who are not declaring their opinions, who it Is believed are certain to vote with the Republicans. Ther have been some defections in the Republican ranks, but to no great extent, and even among the farmers the desertions have not been numerous." i Cieortce's Achievement. New York Mail and Express. Now that Henry George has returned from the West after having carried Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Michigan. Wisconsin and Minnesota for Bryan without the aid of a net. he may be templed to turn in and pull New York and Pennsylvania out of th McKinley column.

He Got Drank on Ilia "Booty. The grocery store of G. D. Jones. 41 East North street, was broken into Inst night about 6:45 o'clock, and at 10 o'clock; Leonard Maskill, a baker employed In th bakery department of the grocery, was arrested at his home, 174 West First street, on the charge of having committed th deed. At the police station Maekill ad mitted that he had entered tho place. He went down Into the bakery in the afternoon lo look after some yeast. Tho door leading into the grocery from the bakery wm locked, and no one was in the store. Maskill had access to the bakery, but could not get into the grocery. Taking a scraper. a small bakers tool like a cabbage chopper, he broke a hole in the rear windownear the oatcli. Turning the tatch. he raided the window and was) inside in a moment. There were a number of bottles of beer in the ice chest and he helped himself so freely Ihnf. ne Became intoxicated. Wrapping a bottle in some old clothing that he wore while nt work in tho bakery, he placed it near the window. A. F. C. Brown, who drives the wagon, came In and bhw Maskill. but as he is employed there, did not suspect anything wrong. Later in the evening Mr. Jones came to the store, and llndlng hi ice chest open and the Uventv-slx bottles of beer gone, went over to see Brown about it. Brown, who lives on Illinois street, near Michigan, spoke of having seen Maskill in the store in the afternoon. Both returned to the store and investigated, finding the bottle of beer wrapped in Maskill's old clothes near the window. Officers who wero called went to Masklll's home and placed him under arrest. He was taken back to the store, where he began weeping. He was still somewhat under the influence of his - booty. At the police station h piteously moaned; "Oh, 1 was foolish, I was foolish." About ten days ago the same store was broken into in a similar manner, but th marauders, of whom there were two. were scared away before they had gained entrance.
