The best Indication of the hostility of Democrats to trusts Is the weak Indorsement given to the silver trust of 18 to L The enemy in the rear of our army In luzon was located a few days ago, but the enemy In the rear in this country avoids the firing line. Terhaps our German friends will not object to the large number of American citizens who are proud of their straight English descent calling themselves AngloCaxons. Of course. It was very kind in the Chamber of Commerce of Colombo to present Admiral Dewey with the freedom of the city in a silver casket, but it is not likely be will have occasion to use It often. The death of Representative Danford. of the Sixteenth Ohio district. Is the fifth that has occurred among members-elect of the Fifty-sixth Congress. Politically, the deceased members stood two Republicans, two Democrats and one Populist. The Iron trade has always stood as an Index of prosperity, but now It Is said the trade In overalls Is almost equally so. Xiarge manufacturers of this badge of Industry say they have sold during the past year 0 per cent, more overalls than in th year before. Tha declared purpose of Governor Pingree and Secretary Alger to unite their forces to make the latter the successor of Mr. McDllllan In the Senate means a contest that will be active. As candidate for the Senate the secretary may find It necessary to retire from the Cabinet. Captain Coghlan denounces as utterly falsa, "rot, pure and simple," the story that In a public place In St. Louis he proposed the toast "Hoch der Kaiser." He says nothing of the kind occurred, and adds very c:niwly: '.The story read as though the peaceful relations between the United States czi Germany depended upon some friendly action upon my part.

The Louisville Courier-Journal congratulates the farmers of Kentucky on the return to that market of the Spanish governcent tobacco monopoly. For a long time prior to the war the monopoly had taken a thousand hogsheads a month of the Kentucky product. The war drove it to European markets, which were very unsatisfactory, and now it has returned. Its local Crjyer having Just placed an order for 11,000 Lcjsheads. For a steady trade that is a considerable Item. The Democratic national platform of 1SS4 rclnted with pride to "the acquisition of "Louisiana, Florida, California and of the tdjacent Mexican territory," and said: "Contrast these grand acquisitions of Democratic statesmanship with the purchase of Alaska, the sole fruit of a Republican administration of nearly a quarter of a century." Then they denounced the Republican party because It had not acquired more territory, and now they are denouncing because. It has. Grand old party, that!

It Is a matter of little csnzsqutaca, but It will be recalled that Mr. Carlisle, then secretary of iha treasury, drafted the sugar schedule for the pending tirLT bill which schedule Mr. Ilavemeyer's frisnd were anxious to have adopted.

silver Republicans to follow the example of those in Iowa and take seats in the Democratic tents. They may be given back seats and must bid farewell to all hopes of official honors, but they will save themselves from the suspicion of Republicans and Democrats of trying to deceive the public WHAT AMERICAN TRAITORS HAVE DONG.

Thi iLcreasIng seriousness of the situation In the Philippines shows what a great crime the opponents cf the government have been guilty of. We say opponents of the government Instead of the administration because In time of war, especially of foreign war, opposition to the administration is opposition to the government. That the present situation in the Philippines Is serious rone will deny. Of course the Insurrection will be put down and the sovereignty of the United States will be established, but to accomplish this ha3 already cost much more in money and lives than any person anticipated at the beginning, and the end Is not yet. That the responsibility for this rests largely on those who have opposed the policy of the administration regarding the Philippines there can be no doubt. This began with opposition to ratification of the treaty of peace, which was held up in the Senate from Jan. 4 to Feb. 6, more than a month. While the treaty was thus held up the hands of the administration were tied. Admitting that the outcome was certain, it could not raise a finger in the way of establishing its authority in the Philippines until the treatv was ratified. The opposition in the Senate and the speeches in support of it gave Agulnaldo time to form new plans and created a belief that there was a strong anti-expansion party In the United States. Opposition to the army reorganization bill was a further hindrance to the administration. The bill as it passed the House Jan. 21, 1839, gave the President authority to increase the regular army by enlistments up to 100,000 men. When it reached the Senate the Democrats, under the leadership of Senator Gorman, immediately began to oppose it By Feb. 23 a compromise was agreed upon by which the President was authorized to maintain the regular army at a strength of not more than 65,000 enlisted men and to raise a force of not more than X.000 volunteers, "provided that such Increase in the regular and volunteer force shall continue in service only during the necessity therefor, and not later than July 1, 1901." The bill in this form was passed by the Senate Feb. 25, by the House March 1, and was signed by the President March 2. During all this time the administration was waiting on the action of Congress and the Filipinos were being encouraged by the delay end by tho speeches In the Senate. The army bill did not pass till nearly four weeks after the treaty had been ratified, and this caused further delay. In a speech delivered before the Boston Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday last Hon. John Barrett, former minister to Skim, said: Now, I must tell you something as citizens of Boston and Massachusetts which I dislike to tell you. but still which is true. It refers to the effect of the speech of one of your senators against the treaty. As he is a great and good man, in my honest opinion, I would make no observations whatever against his personal character. I merely relate a few facts. It happened that I was in Hong-Kong the day that the report of this senator's speech against the treaty arrived. Meeting a prominent man connected with the Philippine Junta, I was shown by him with great satisfaction a long telegram which he had Just received from Washington. He handed It to me to read. It contained a verbatim report of the most sensational or strongest part of the senator's speech; that was followed by a summary of his other remarks, and that in turn by a statement of the names and number of the senators who weroexpected to oppose the treaty, and finally concluding with advice to the Filipinos to hold out without surrender or yielding to the Americana. This was so extensive and so well done In Its way that it almost stunned me. When I recovered from my surprise I asked the owner of the dispatch what he intended to do with it. "Hand it to Agulnaldo, of course, and hj v.lll have copies of it distributed through his army and among the people," he replied. I need only add that he did succeed in doing this, although personally I did my best, as did others, to prevent such encouragement reaching the Filipino forces. Of course the senator referred to Is Senator Hoar, but who" sent the telegram from Washington to Hong-Kong? Mr. Barrett said that from the mouths of Admiral Dewey and Generals Otis. MacArthur. Anderson, Hale, Law ton and scores of other army and navy officers in the Philippines he had heard the opinion expressed In no uncertain terms that the Filipino Insurgents had drawn their main encouragement from persons In the United States. Even yesterday a dispatch from Manila stated that the insurgent organ, independence, contained reports of alleged speeches made at alleged meetings In the United States denouncing the war and encouraging the insurgents to continue the war until the next presidential election, which, said this paper, "is sure to result in a decision to withdraw the American troops from the Philippines." Such facts as these show how great a crime the American opponents of the administration have committed and how largely they have contributed to the present serious situation. AN IMPOSSII1LE ISSFE. It Is probable that every Intelligent American of German blood knows that any sort of an alliance between the United States and Great Britain has not so much as been considered by either government, much less suggested by one to the other. A few men have urged such an alliance since the Spanish war, but they represent nobody but themselves. During tho first weeks of the war with Spain the friendliness of Great Britain called forth expressions of kindly feeling, and a few impulsive persons talked of an alliance, but at the present time there Is not a paper In the country advocating anything of the scrt. Nevertheless, meetings are being held occasionally to protest against an alliance that Is not only Impossible, but for which no good reason can be given. At the meeting in Detroit on Thursday night Representative Lentz. of Ohio, was the principal speaker. His motive is apparent. He was elected last fall by a very slender plurality. If he can impress citizens of German blood that the administration is Intent on an alliance with Great Britain he may win a few hundred votes that he will need very badly in 1900, So far from forming an alliance, the two governments are unable to settle a few questions of minor Importance because of the hostility of Canada and the fear of Great Britain that the United States is preparing to enter Into the larger life of the world by broadening a trade which will make it necessary for the United States to adopt a policy which will give the American people a place In the world's carrying business as an owner of an ocean marine. To-day Great Britain is much more concerned regarding our awakening of maritime ambition than our Increased exports. British statesmen understand that our Interest in the Philippines, and our determination to construct a ship canal across the Central American Isthmus Independent of other nations, mean the building of an ocean marine which wlU compete with Great Britain. An alliance between Germany and Great Britain Is lrporiible be

cause the German carrying trade menaces the British domination of the seas. It has recently been developed that we can build sh!ps as cheaply as can Great Britain. England foresees that a nation whose shipbuilders are crowded with orders for war sMps for other nations as well as ourselves will soon turn its attention to a merchant marine. No alliance can be made that will prevent our larger participation In the carrying trade, and any other alliance with Great Britain would be of no practical value to that power. The attitude of friendly relations with all nations is the true American policy. Fortunately, the German-American is a sturdy Individual who has a mind of his own and will not be deceived by appeals to nationality by vote-seeking demagogues. When the Olympla, with Admiral Dewey on board, entered the harbor at Colombo she saluted the British forts ashore and was saluted by them in return. This was merely naval etiquette. There has been a good deal of friendly saluting. between the two nations of late, but nothing so unique as a salute that was made to the British flag by Americans nearly twenty years ago. On the occasion of the celebration of the Torktown centennial, at Torktown, Va., Oct 13, 1SS1, the following executive order, signed by Chester A. Arthur, was read by Secretary of State Blaine: In recognition of the friendly relations so long and so happily subsisting between Great Britain and the United States, in the trust and confidence of peace and good will between the two countries for all the centuries to come, and especially as a mark of the profound respect entertained by tho American people for the illustrious sovereign and gracious lady who sits upon the British throne; it is hereby ordered that at the close of the ceremonies commemorative of the valor and success of our forefathers in their patriotic struggle for independence the British flag shall be saluted bv the forces of the army and navy of the United States now at Yorktown. The secretary of war and the secretary of the navy will give orders accordingly. That is the only time In either country that the flag of the other has been saluted In accordance with a formal order from the head of the government. If the President had called out a part of the volunteers authorized by the army bill as soon as it became a law he would have been criticised by many who are now demanding that regiments shall be raised to reinforce General Otis. Such action would have been denounced as evidence of the policy of Imperialism, which was at that time the accusation hurled against Mr. McKinley. There has doubtless been a change of sentiment. The word imperialism no longer frightens. The eagerness on the part of some papers to send more troops to Manila has its inspiration In the hope that he will not do it. They care very little for the success or defeat of the American army so long as they can make political capital. There is reason to believe, however, that the people will approve the reported purpose of the President to enlist a portion of the volunteers which Congress gave him authority to do. They may not be needed, but it may be well to have a reserve of 10,000 good men for use in the event that they are needed when the wet season closes. The Hon. Tom Johnson has demonstrated that the street-railway of Detroit can be run at a profit sufficient to pay him and his associates the $15,000,000 which they ask for their plant and franchise, but he is not willing to run his roads on a 3-cent basis and make the money himself. Furthermore, he will not sell his plant and franchise to the city unless it will put up a franchise legalizing six tickets for 23 cents and running forty-eight years as security for the purchaso price. That is, the city, by operating the lines on a 3-cent basis, cannot earn sufficient money to pay the interest on the bonds given Mr. Johnson for his lines and an annual sum sufficient to redeem the bond at maturity, and he demands a forty-eight-year franchise with the right of charging 25 cents for ix tickets. Mr. Johnson Is criticised by the Detroit papers for not corvlnclng himself that 3-cent fares will enrich him, and they cite the arguments showing that the city will make a great deal of money by purchasing his roads and operating them under a 3-cent fare. A prominent Kentucky Democrat who deprecates the attitude of the party on the Philippine question says it ought not to put Itself in the wrong merely to be In opposition to the Republicans. He hold3 that the party cannot oppose the administration and the prosecution of the war without encouraging the insurgents, which would not only be unpatriotic but political suicide. "If we are not careful," he says, "we will eee the Republicans marching through the land with the star-spangled banner over them and with drum aad fife playing 'Yankee Doodle' and 'Dixie,"' whilst they proclaim that they alone can be relied on to protect the American eagle and to stand by the glorious fellows who are fighting their country's battles In the far Fast. Let this Idea once get into the heads of the American people, and you will see such a slump in Democratic votes as was never before witnessed in the history of the party." Of course that is wise advice from a political point of view, but It does not follow that the Democratic party will heed It.

Any observing person traveling about the country will seo a field of ripening wheat which appears to be good, and Judges on trains will so pronounce It On the next farm he will see acres which were sown to wheat which are areas of white top without enough wheat mixed with it to pay for the catting. There does not appear to bo any difference in the soil, or would not be if each tract were treated the same. What is the cause of the difference In fields side by side? Has cultivation anything to do with it? Is or is not the good field the result of better tillage, or is it mere chance? The impression which the nonfarmer gets Is that cultivation has much to do with the differing conditions. A Methodist Church In Brooklyn has followed the example of Plymouth Church In asking women to remove their hats during servico and the movement has also broken out In Boston. It seems likely to spread. All the officers and sailors who were in Admiral Dewey's fleet at Manila will receive prize money, but only those on the Olympla will get a distributive share of a thousand pounds of Ceylon tea. Senator Teflcr denies trtat he has Joined the Republicans. This is very good evidence that he is friendly to tho party and does not want it to be unjustly censured. He's coming over all right. Theodore Roosevelt wants to furnish all the volunteert for the Philippines. This Is a new and healthy kind of trust the kind that trusts its country and Is willing to support her every enterprise. . One of the direct .results of the hot weaher is the kidnaping of a Massachusetts girl. All cold-storage establishments should be immediately searched. While the Czar's commission Is working away on the disarmament proposition, his

government is considering the placing of an order for $5,000,000 worth of American guns. So long as the Czar's practice Is all right, he may be indulged in his little Idiosyncrasies of theory. The news comes that the farmers trust will not stand. The trust of the average farmer has been severely damaged and shattered at times by lightning rod and fruit tree men.

Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. Judge E. B. Martindale, of Indianapolis, Ind.. owns one of the handsomest residences in that city a large stone mansion hidden from the street by a thick grove of trees. It was in this house that one of 'the most exciting functions ever known in the Hoosier capital took place many years ago, the true storj of which is now printed for the first time. The judge, who was one of the leaders of society and at the same time was a pillar in tho Presbyterian Church, had issued invitations for a fancy dress ball, which at the last moment he had to withdraw because of the presence in this country of a large body of Presbyterian delegates from Great Britain on their way, to an international conference in the West. They were to be entertained at the Judge's the night set for the ball. It so happened that every guest received his notice save one, a merchant named Woodward, who was on a trip through the Northwest. It also happened that Mr. Woodward had hit upon the most startling disguise of any planned. He had bought a complete costume of a Sioux war chief and Intended making up as nearly like the original as possible. Mr. Woodward did not return to Indianapolis until the evening fixed for the ball, and. therefore, to save time put on his costume at his office and drove to the Martindale residence In his carriage, which he dismissed at the gate. Through the trees and shrubbery he glided stealthily until he reached the house. Looking through the window, Mr. Woodward saw some persons whom he knew and many whom he did not, but every one was In ordinary evening dress. "They've unmasked," soliloquized the war chief, "but I'll have my fun Just the same." Thereupon, stepping on a ledge, he made one spring through the open window and landed in the center of a group of Scotch delegates, meantime brandishing a genuine tomahawk and uttering shrill and bloodcrirdlng war-whoops. The effect was astounding to the masquerader. Some of the guests fainted, others crept under the tables and sofas or fled to the upper stories of the house. It took only an ir.suint for Mr. Woodward to discover that a terrible mistake had been made. In order to preserve his identity and make his escape he gave a few more whoops, executed a fearful dance and darted out of the window into the darkness. It was explained to the foreign guests that one of the Indianapolis Indian tribes was evidently restless, but that no further trouble need be feared. As for Mr. Woodward, his side of the story was not known for nearly twenty years afterward. The Liquor Trade. New York Post. Another novel movement In the liquor trade is one for the reduction of the number of saloons. Perhaps the strongest agency of late years in the multiplication of places where beer i. sold has been - the system adopted by the brewers in a great many cities of virtually running beer saloons by advancing the money required for licenses to men who otherwise could not go into the business. The temptation has thus been strong to 6tart an abnormally large number of such places. The practice has been carried so far in some cities that the brewers find it unprofitable, and those of Baltimore have decided to stop advancing money for the payment of licenses, and to let the traffic settle back upon the old basis, where nobody starts a saloon who has nct the necessary capital. It Is estimated that fully one-fifth of the places in Baltimore where beer has been sold will be closed by the adoption of this rule. The brewers of Milwaukee and other cities are considering the wisdom of following this example. It la thought by those who ought to know that the Milwaukee brewers "put up" the $2)0 license fee for half of the 2,000 saloons in that city, and that at least 20 per cent, of these small dealers would be driven out of business by the enforcement of the Baltimore rule. Failed In Examination. Washington Special. There Is a great deal of disappointment In Washington over the announcement made at the Navy Department to-day that three young men, distinguished on account cf their fathers or other relatives, have failed In the entrance examination to the Naval Academy. President McKInley some time ago. in recognition of the gallant deeds of their relatives, nominated these boys for naval cadets. They were (Irldley. of Pennsylvania, son of the gallant commander of the Olympla, Admiral Dewey's flagship In the battle of Manila: Bagley. of North Carolina, brother of Inslern Worth Bagley, who lost his life at Cardenas, being - the first naval officer killed during the war, and Busbee, of Washington, a grandson of Rear Admiral Worden. the hero of the MonltorMerrlmac battla during the rebellion. These three boys all failed In their examination, and, therefore, will not be able to enter the academy unless they receive another appointment. We Are Unclean. Washington Tost. "Americans," said A. F. Spawn, of Baltimore, tho other day, "are the most uncleanly people about their food cf any nation on the globe that is. of course, any civilized nation. In this country we pay absolutely no attention to how our food Is brought to market, or how it Is handled until It comes to our doors. Our cleanliness about food begins only when it is in our home, which is the last and least Important stage of all. In Europe they have inspectors to see how food psoducts are started to market, how they are shipped, how they are canned, and how they are retailed to the consumer. They wouldn't stand our easy-going ways a week." Ills Vindication. Philadelphia Record. The attempt to prove by Insinuation that Admiral Schley was guilty of cowardice at the battle of Santiago and tried to get out of the way of the Snanlsh ships Is best met by what may be called dumb evidence. His vessel, the Brooklyn, was hit oftener by Spanish shot than were all the other war ships of the American fleet combined; and the Spanish vessels were hit oftener by tho Brooklyn than any other of our ships engaged. The BroolJyn was In the fight from the beginning to the finish. Her honorable scars are Admiral Schley's vindication. Cause for Wonder. Washington Post. The esteemed Merlden Record feels called upon to remark that "one of the best things the Connecticut Legislature has done will be done next Tuesday." Occasionally we are forced to wonder what becomes of all the bright folk who are graduated from the New England colleges. So He Had. Philadelphia North American. Whoever to responsible for the maintenance of law and order In Cleveland had better get down to his office.

LENDING OUR COLD

UNITED STATES SE3THXG YELLOW COIN ACROSS THE WATER. Europe Seems to Be tn Xeed of Money, and Financiers Here Can Obtain Better Rates of Interest Abroad. $4,000,000 SHIPPED TO-DAY SOXB OF IT DUE FOR DEBTS, FOR THE BALANCE IS THE OTHER WAY. National Finances Most Satisfactory, and Exports of Our Products Are Far In Excess of Imports. NEW YORK, June 23. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade will pay to-morrow: "The outgo of more gold this week $4,000,000, so far as reported makes it clear that Europe is In need. The French ministerial crisis has been grave and prolonged, the collapse of German speculation in Industrial stocks threatens some trouble, but perhaps the South American uncertainty causes most disturbance. Whatever the cause, Europe needs money and cannot claim its own from the west this year, but must borrow. Exchange and trade balances show that this country Is not called on to pay, but the money is worth more to lenders abroad than it is here. Home finances are most satisfactory. Revenue falls behind expenditures for the fiscal year less than $100,X).000, and but for $230,000,000 war expenses. Including payment for the Philippine debt and for Cuban soldiers, the revenue, exclusive of that from the war tax, exceeds ordinary expenses. "Trade balances, in spite of exports from New York being 19 per cent, less than last year's and imports 2Q per cent, greater, still promise a large excess of exports for June. Nor Is there any substance In the Idea that large foreign sales of securities are moving gold. The best evidence attainable shows that In January and February about $8,250,000 worth of securities came to this side and since February not more than $4,000,000 In excess of shipments. In character, transactions have been of the trading, and not of the-investment, sort. Stocks here have weakened, but almost exclusively in Industrials, which foreigners do not touch, these declining $203 per share, on the average, this week, while railroad stocks have averaged a decline of only 29 cents per share. Earnings for the first half of June are better than for any previous month this year, and 10 per cent, larger than last year, the granger roads gaining most largely over last year, in spite of the reduced movement of grain. "In the great staples there is a turn for the better. Exports of wheat, flour included, for the week have been 3.643,672 bushels, against 3.800,660 bushels last year, and in three weeks 6,504,203 bushels, against H.00&.7S3 bushels last year. Corn exports also continue large 2,627,866 bushels, against 2,574,723 bushels last year. A sharp fall in cotton also encourages exports. These are facts which preceded orders for gold exports this week, and show the prospect of a larger outgo of merchandise In coming months. Wheat receipts at the West 15.000.6S8 bushels for the past three weeks, against 3,463,773 bushels last year and 4.M0.549 bushels In the same week In 1S97 show extraordinary movement from the farms for the season, Indicating no suspicion there of shortage. The fall of 2 cents In wheat, and in cotton from 6.31 to 6.12 cents. Indicates that speculation based on the hope of short crops is growing weary. "The textile industries are' much behind m prices, though woolens are now steadily rising and are 6 per cent, higher than at their lowest. In March. The goods are In much stronger demand and the wool has advanced from 1S.01 to 18.7S cents for domestic, taking the average of 100 quotations by Coates Brothers, though the buying is largely speculative. In cotton goods the advance has been small, and though business Is excellent the demand fairly matches the supply. "The great gain In volume of business might seem of questionable safety were It not greater In iron production, resulting frcm an actual excess of demand over supply, and not from speculation. Bars are stronger by $3 per ton In the East, though iron Is $1 per ton easier In Pittsburg, but a difference of $5 per ton in favor of steel makes the demand for Iron larger. It Is Interesting that a ten-thousand-ton order for plates for two American liners to be built by the Cramps has gone to Chicago, Eastern works being too full. Orders for finished products show no decrease in quantity, and for most lines, as for rails, are quite often refused, speedy deliveries being impossible. "Failures for the week have been 178 In the United States, against 285 last year, and 18 in Canada, against 11 last year." To-Day'a Gold Shipments. NEW YORK. June 23. Heidelbach. Eickelhelmer & Co. will ship $1,000,000 in gold to-morrow and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. $1,000,000. This makes the total for Saturday $4,000,000. WASHINGTON, June 23. Secretary Gage attaches no Importance to the engagement at New York to-day of $4,000,000 in gold for export. "It is a mere Incident," he said. "It is possible that the exportation of gold which was paid to Spain in the settlement of our treaty obligations disturbed the equilibrium somewhat and has necessitated some considerable shipments to again restore the normal conditions of exchange." Treasury officials are cf the opinion that the balance of trade between this country and Europe has little or no influence on gold shipments. The records of the department covering the last twenty years and more show that the balance of trade has no appreciable effect either upon the imports or exports of gold, and it has come to a settled conviction that large gold movements are controlled almost entirely by the money markets at home and abroad. Other Influences may control the movement, but the shipments at this time are not regarded as indicating any unfavorable conditions in this country. DRADSTRCET'S REVIEW. Prices Unusually Stroris; No Summer Shut-Dovrn In Iron Industry. NEW YORK. June 23. Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: Less than the average effect of approaching midsummer Influences is discernible in current trade reports. Prices, too, show a strength unusual at this period, and particularly in view of recent steady advances. This Is notably manifest, of course, in the Iron and steel industry, where the tendency of values is still upward, though the advances reported are not uniform at all markets, pointing to individual instances of business done at best possible prices. Where prompt delivery can be guaranteed fancy quotations are In many cases obtainable and testimony to the scarcity of supplies is universal. An unprecedented weekly output of coke is coincident with statements that the usual summer shut -down in Iron and Its allied Industries will be Ignored and claims from Pittsburg of the placing of record-breaking contracts for steel rails for export to Russia, not, however, for Immediate delivery.

well within sight of realization and warnings of overdoing the situation are more numerous. Hopes of Improvement In the woolen goods industry have materialized in an active demand at leading markets for the manufactured product and simultaneously from several markets come reports of abnormally small stocks of light-weight goods In dealers' hands. Wool is more active and firm in sympathy therewith and sales are larger, though mostly on speculative account. A feature Is heavy sales of highgrade domestic wools to foreign buyers, but whether this wool will go abroad depends upon next week's London sales. Improved crop reports are responsible chiefly for lower quotations of products this week. Wheat has been affected by glowing reports from spring wheat sections, but more especially by continued enormous deliveries of old crop supplies, pointing to the 1S3S spring wheat yield and therefore the aggregate yield of the country, having been heavily underestimated. At the decline, however, good buying on export account has developed. Cctton crop prospects have continued to improve and the raw product 13 lower on the week, with a slight shading claimed also in print cloths, although cotton goods as a whole are In an exceptionally strong position. Raw sugar is lower on unanimous reports of improving crop prospects the world over, but refined sugar Is in heavy domestic demand and firm. In industrial lines generally there Is little more than the usual friction as to wages, the most serious disturbance of all being tho Colorado smelting works strike, which is one partly of hours worked. The vsual summer shutdown of glass factories Is now complete. Railroad reports point to a a exceptionally large traffic doing, and earnings reports continue favorable, particularly In the Northwest, but passenger and freight rate cuts are increasing. Lumber retains all of its early activity and strength alike, as regards movement and prices.

Five or Six Eggs Taken Each Day In Lemonade Will Prevent Funerals, According to A. M. Cushins;. ATLANTIC CITY. N. J.. June 23. At today's session of the American InstituU of Homeopathy the board of censors recommended the election of forty-two applicants for membership, and also reported sixteen new applications. This makes a total of 213 members elected during the present convention. The committee on medical education recommended that the institute encourage medical teaching In state universities; that colleges should be liberally endowed; that instructors should be salaried where possible; that no teaching should be permitted except from those specially trained for the respective departments, and that ail colleges should have a uniform curriculum for entrance, intermediate and final examinations and study. This was adopted. The resolution warning physicians against sending their patients to opticians who have no medical training was also adopted. The report of the intercollegiate committee was presented by Dr. Klppax. Among the recommendations made and adopted was one that, after the present year, all medical colleges should have a course of four years, of not less than seven months each, Instead of six months. The feature of the afternoon was the section In clinical medicine and pathology, in which pulmonary tuberculosis was thoroughly discussed. The first paper read was that of Dr. Charles Gatchell, of Chicago, on "Prevention and General Treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis." He was followed by Dr. Wiliiam C. Goodnoe, of Philadelphia, on "Early Diagnosis of Pulmonary Tuberculosis." This paper was discussed at some length by Dr. O. S. Dowllng. of New York, and D. J. Jones, dean of the Homeopathic Hospital of Cleveland. A paper was read by Dr. George P. Laidlow, of New York, on "Therapeutics of Pulmonary Tuberculosis." "The Relation of Climate to Pulmonary Tuberculosis," was the title of a paper read by Dr. Edward Beecher Hooker, of Hartford. Then followed an open discussion on tuberculosis in its various stages, and the treatment and prevention of the disease. Among the speakers were O. S. Runnels, of Indianapolis, and A. M. Cushlng, of Springfield, Mass. Dr. Cushlng said that If the physicians would give their consumptive patients five or six eggs in lemonade each day they would have no funerals. Dr. Chas. Gatchell, In his address, said: "The most important and single measure in the prevention of phthisis is proper lung development and chest expansion. Next Is the diet of th patient. There should be a system of forced feeding. The object of all treatment Is to improve the nutrition of the patient, so as to give him a greater equation of resistance to the infection of the bacillus that causes the ulsease. In most persons it is possible to accomplish this, but in one-seventh of the human race all efforts fall. It is this 'submerged seventh that we must endeavor to reach. In order to do this we 'must begin with the child and train It in chest development and supply It with nutritious food. In this way the child will come to maturity with a high power of resistance and In this way only can the disease be finally eradicated. ' The section in neurology and electrotherapeutics also held a special meeting. Dr. W. B. Carpenter, of Columbus, delivered an address on outo-lntoxicatlon as Influencing cases of mental depression. The opening sentence of his address was characteristic: "It is not wonderful that we die; It's far more wonderful that we live. The elements are against us from the beginning. The erect position which God gave is against us and we must pump up nourishment to the brain against the mighty force of gravity which constantly fulfills the deceree 'dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return. " Continuing, he said:- "We engender poisons within ourselves and no adherence to the rules of hygiene can wholly prevent It. The very thought that a species so high, the feelings that diffuse themselves so widely that they take In the whole human "-race, exhaust us, consume us and so wherever we are, we are Journeying by day or night toward our own last resting place." He cited authors in ascribing disease to one of four causes, namely, faulty nutrition, nerve reaction, disturbances antecedent to nutrition, and Infection. Of this latter his paper treated. Microbes and bacteria were given as an auto-toxic cause for disease. Faulty action of the abdominal organs led to the retention in the system of poisonous influences which should be eliminated. The result was a depressed body, and following as a matter of course, a depressed mindin other words melancholia. The liver must act freely, as must also the kidneys, sweat glands, and intestines. The chief source of trouble are undoubtedly the Intestines. Unless they act freely poison which should be eliminated b retained. Constipated people are never healthy

ECCLESIASTICAL FIGHT

nriscopALiAX differences Tn.vr MAY CAL'SE 3ircn nirTEnxEss. Annihilation of the Broad Church. Party In the Communion to Re the War Cry of Conservatives. t Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. June 23. Protestant Episcopal forces are massing for an ecclesiastical light which they admit may cover a period of several years and may prove the most exciting In Amerlccn church annals. Prof. Brlggs let loose the religious dogs of war, but already the conflict has so far outgrowa the question of the Union professor's ordination that he is practically lost sight of. The alms sought are the vindication of the "faith ence delivered to ths saints" and the annihilation of the broad church party in the communion. Active sympathizers with the contest are conservative men in almost all religious bodies, so that the conflict extends far beyond Protestant Episcopal Church lines. While no names of leaders can be quoted at this time, the foregoing statements are made on the very highest authority. The original protest against Trofessoi Briggs came, as everybody knows, from cm of the leaders of the so-called "catholic party in the Episcopal Church, but subsequent events have widened tho controversy until it is not a "catholic" fight at alL It is true that that party will flock to the assistance, of those who oppose the Union professor, and their doing so clouded for a time those who had entered into the contest. Sufficient tirre has now elapsed for all elements to. know each other, and It Is found that "catholics," "evangelicals' and that large body of Just common churchmen, of whom Trinity parish. New York. Is a fit type, are uniting on common ground. Just outside this communion, but thoroughly id sympathy with the standards, are conservative men in all religious bodies, who declare that Protestant Episcopal leaders are fighting the battle of a common Christianity. It is understood that the forces are not yet perfectly organized. Until they are the leader quoted in what follows desires that hi name be not used in the public prints, since he does not desire to seem to put himself forward. No man is, however, in better position to speak. "It has been Informally agreed," said this leader to-day, "that tnere shall be no secret conferences and no attempt to fight in the dark."v Whatever is done will be done openly, and. as I understand the case, preliminary announcements will be made, provided the public Is Interested enough to want them, concerning our plans and purposes. Since you ask i do not mind saying now that the plan Is to unite all elements who feel that we have Scriptures worth preserving; that he have aa Christians any word or God to stand upon. This unity has needed no planning, for without anybody designing It a movement of these elements has been mide during the last few weeks that Places all of , them in perfect alignment ready to choose their leaders when the time comes. "The purpose is to overthrow error with truth, to plant the church anew on the promises of God and to put to confusion the apologists of our day who. taking up and repeating as their own the heresies of former days, are weakening the church by claiming themselves to stand for it. Without mentioning the prominent men in other religious bodies who express sympathy with us. it Is enough to say that practically every element in the Protestant Episcopal Church In this country, outside of the few broad party leaders, have come together In defense of the old faith. The ritualists, as known in England and here, are not leading. Evangelical Virginians and the churchmanship represented by the Atlantic States are with us. So are such safe churchmen as Trinity parish. New York, all of the dioceses in Pennsylvania, Ohio and practically the entire West. The strength of the broad party is In Massachusetts and In the bishops who are building great cathedrals, like Potter of New York, Satterlce of Washington and Doane of Albany, though the latter Is so involved in other questions that he finds it difficult to remain In the broad party ranks. The reserves are in the Wet. There the broad element cuts UUle figure. That It does so has been proven in the General Convention over and over again. There the church stands for something, not for anything anybody happens to teach. "I do not expect to pee the bishops, at the Missionary Council this October, take any action. To expect them to do so might lead them to Inquire how often they were required to affirm adherence to the Bible. Nothing could be stronger or more admirable than the deliverances of the American House of Bishops. The broad party can rind no comfort there, but, on the contrary, that party has. on one occasion at least, found not a little discomfort. 1 do not suppose anything Important will be done this summer. But In the autumn you may look for definite action. The contest may be a lon one, rive or eight years, perhaps, but I have no fear for the result Our predecessors have fought for the truth and we ought to be willing to do so. Professor Brlggs Is not the Issue, and where he stands Is not of much consequence. The conflict Is far greater than he. The whole church Is Involved, but the church is fighting for humanltv and for the right It is fighting for the Bible. The Brlggs incident is closed but a larger incident which that one opened Is not closed, and It will not be until modern error, the echo of many ancient ones, apd now known as brcad is put down. That may take several years. No matter if It does. It is worth the doing." It Is understood that early In the autumn definite action will be taken, but that action does not Involve or contemplate a trial of Bishop Potter or of anybody else. Nothing sensational Is promised, and the victory will be won when several successive pastoral Utters. Issuinr from the House of Bishops. deal with the matter conservatively, and the broad party loses ground and disappears. It is a war of extermination, so conservative leaders declare. . TWO JERSEY FARMERS Their Testimony Before the Industrial Commission. WASHINGTON. June 23. Richard Coles, a citizen of Salem county. New Jersey, was before the industrial commission to-day. He said the farmers of New Jersey had no especial complaint, although there 'was a general feeling that conditions might be. improved. Prices for their products wera generally lower, while wages for farm hands were higher than formerly. Wlthla tho past twenty-five years farms in his section had depreciated. In value about SO per cent. The depreciation In the price of products was not so great. He was inclined to attribute the lower prices to competition from the West and South. He advocated a tariff on farm products, putting them on the same basis as the manufacturers. Such a policy would result In saving to the United States about U.OUO.OOO or ROOO.OuO now sent abroad for articles of an agricultural nature. Mr. Samuel B. Ketcheum. also a New Jersey farmer, was before the commission during the afternoon. He expressed the opinion that the outlook for farming In the United States was brichL believing that the time was not far distant when the demand for farm produce would be equal to the supply. One of the hardships with which many farm owners had had to contend for the past quarter of a century was the decline in prices of farm lands. lie also thought that the best agricultural lands in the West had been located, and In- . crease and production In that section would not be so rapid In the future as it had been lq the past. As a consequence, the increase In population would soon make good the differenci. German Sharpshooters. DUBUQUE. Ia.. June 23.
