however, must not make any consider
able halt while passing through the
country. Musselmans may return to
Bulgaria. Any property of Mussul-
mans who have not returned, which
they leave undisposed of, will be sold
after two years for the benefit of the

communications both through Rouma-
mia and the Black Sea. The expenses
of Russian occupation are to be borne
by Bulgaria. Roumania is authorized
to make her demand for indemnity d.
rect to Porte and make direct treaty.

A Horrible Death.

John Welch met his death at the
Union Pacific depot in Omaha on Sun
day by inhaling nitric acid. The Bee
says:
Among the west bound freight cars
was one containing ten carboys of
nitric acid for the San Francisco mint,
together with a lot of oil and other
combustible material. One of the
carboys of nitric acid exploded while
the car was standing at the depot, and
ten men, employees at the freight house,
were summoned to empty the car. A
Mr.. Shelby, who knew the character of
the acid, told the men to hold their
breath while in the car, and to breathe
fresh air every time they came out.
They all needed the advice except John
Welch, who probably forgot it. While
he was in the car he inhaled the fatal
fumes.
The deceased had been In the employ
of the Union Pacific railroad for over
ten years.

she will do so with the express under

its decisions if she is not satisfied with

The Blaine Resolution.

This resolution has passed the Senate
only six democrats voting against it. we
are sorry that this small handful had not
the good sense to give q silent vote, and
that some of them thought it necessary to
make speeches on the subject. Fortunately
the speeches were not of sufficient mark or
interest to do much harm. The majority
of the democratic Senators judged wisely
that it is better to let this investigation
take its course, and not to waste the time
of the Senate in debate which would
merely have obstructed business Of real im-
portance. The country is heartily tired
and sick Of the everlasting Southern ques-
ton, and further agitation will only deepen
the general disgust at politicians who are
willing to subordinate great interests to
their ambitious hopes. We are passing
into new era, when questions relating to
the material interests of the country will be
the hinges of politics. Mr.. Blaine is at
tempting to ride q dead horse, and it is pre-
posterous TO consume valuable time in at
tempting to prevent him. He will discover
his mistake, and before he gets through
with this experiment he will regret it. As
no legislation can possibly result from his
investigation it is wise to let him alone to
discover his folly and want Of foresight.

The hull for Bulgaria.

Our poor friends the Bulgarians are still
without sovereign, and one Of our
brilliant contemporaries proposes to send
them Talfnage, the bowling dervish of the
Brooklyn Presbyterian circus. But we are
afraid they have had q surfeit Of dervishes
already. Besides, Talmage's habits Of
thought would not incline him to the toll
Grafton that must be practised in . land in
which the religious division Of the people
is of primary consequence. He cannot
tolerate what he does not understand and
he does not understand much. We, there
fore, should not like to commit the American
people to this recommendation. But there
is reverend man Of another sort, who pos
sesses all the good qualities of Talmage and
none Of his defects. We refer, of course, to
that great prophet and medicine man Of the
Sioux, Sitting Bull. As the Bulgarians
want an American they mary prefer an
American Of the original breed, and the

Judge Hilton md the Hebrew Char
tiles.

The refusal of one of the Hebrew institu-
tions to accept gift from Mrs. Stewart be-
cause it was to be transmitted through
Judge Hilton seems to have resulted from
q misapprehension. If the managers Of
the hospital had restrained their resent
ment until they had become better ac-
quainted with the facts they would have
evinced wiser and more considerate spirit.
1t appears that Mrs. Stewart, at the np-
proach of the Christmas season, made i'm
partial donations to all the principal chari-
ties Of the city without any distinction Of
religious creed. 1t is to be regretted that
this oct Of praiseworthy benevolenco should
have been understood in any instance
in q different spirit from that in which
it was intended. Mrs Stewart's vener-
able age, her unostentatious virtues and
the great affiic.ion to which she has been
SO rudely subjected by a recent instance Of
unfeeling barbarity, should have protected
her from any new wounds at this time, and
especially from an act Of charity being
turned into a source of bitterness. Resent
ment, however just, against her business
agent is not q sufficient excuse for thrust
at this venerable lady through the sides
Of Judge Hilton. Under oil the circum-
stances it would have been prudent and
self-respecting for the managers Of the hos
pital to have quietly ignored the offer If
they did not choose to accept it. Had they
waited few days until they could ascer-
tain the facts they might have discovered
that there was no reasonable bar to their
acceptance of the gift. 1t was not
gift to the managers but to
the poor sufferers under their charge,
and if she had divided It into small
sums and offered 1t to individual sufferers
it would have seemed o strange proceeding
for anybody to have stepped between her
and the benefciaries and intercepted her
charity. This act Of hasty resentment will
be regretted and depltred by that large
portion Of this community who disapproved

Hoaxing tho British Admiralty.

In the Gable dispatches it is reported from
London that the British Board Of Admiralty
has made an official declaration Of the
falsity Of IAN interview with the Duke of
Edinburgh while at Halifax, published re-
Gently in Now York journal, in which His
Royal Highness is made to say that he
looked upon the author of England's new
peace with honor policy with feelings Of
the utmost disgust" Alas We ore afraid
those solemn and fearfully respect
able men are destined to be laughed
at, and are the victims of their incapac-
ity to see joke. No New York paper
published nm interview with the Duke
of Edinburgh except the HERALD, and in
our interview there were no expressions
such as are referred 70 by the Admiralty.
But lively little paper published in this
city, and which puts forth happy skits from
time to time, published somewhat pithy
parody on our interview, and in that parody
His Royal Highness was made to say many
startling things-for it is the privilege Of
wit to make things piquant without regard
to the proprieties. Alas that the British
Admiralty should be fooled by our neigh
bor's drollery.

incur the risk of keeping it in his own
custody, and his only choice lies be-
tween giving it in charge to a safe
deposit company or turning it into his or
dinary bank account. A safe deposit COM
pany will not take it without charges which
would reduce its value below that of green
backs, and unless the owner is willing to
incur the risk of keeping it in his own safe
he must deposit it in bank. But no bank,
at this stage of affairs, will receive gold ex
cept as ordinary current money to be
checked against like any other form Of cur
rency. This puts final end to the busi-
ness of the gold brokers. "Othello's occu-
patton is gone" Gold coin can no longer
be sold and bought by mere transfer
of gold certificates, but only by actual
deliveries Of the metal, which are too cum
brous and inconvenient to justify opera
tions when there is but vanishing shade
Of difference between the values of gold and
legal tender notes. Hereafter the owners
Of gold can do nothing better with it
than to deposit in the banks which they
make the custodians Of their other funds,
and which will hereafter make no distinc-
ton between deposits Of gold and deposits
of legal tender notes. Having reached
this point the nero legal date OF
resumption ceases to be of any consequence.
In the transition from the 3lst of Decem-
Der to the 1st Of January there will be no
shock or break, nor even the slightest rip
pie of disturbance, and it is not probable
that any considerable amount of legal ten
der notes will be presented for redemption
during the month of January. We con-
gratulate the business community and the
Secretary of the Treasury Ito whose skill

Miss Eancher,s Case.

DR.. Hammond's return to the case OF
Miss Fancher in his recent suggestion Of
method by which her capacity to discover
the contents of sealed envelopes might be
put to practical test has provoked two
replies, which we print to-day. One is
from Mr.. Henry NJ. Parkhurst, the other
from Brooklyn physician who signs only
his initials. Neither Of these gentlemen
is satisfied that DR.. Hammond's PROPOSE
tion is either fair or logical, and they turn
the tables on tho distinguished neurologist
by applying tests to him in his turn. NJ.
H. seems disposed to apply q quasi
religious test and to argue the defective
spiritual nature Of man who cannot be-
lieve more than he can understand, while
Mr.. Parkhurst is inclined to test of the
Doctor designed to expose his expertness
or inexpertness with sealed envelopes. DR..
Hammond, it will be remembered, said
with all respect for Mr.. Parkhurst that his
less, because as it had been left with the
person whose capacity was to be tried the
apparent integrity of the seal was not an
evidence that it had not been opened. If
1t were evidence on that point, the ''catind
noir" maintained in oil European post
offices for hundreds of years for the exam
ination ofsuspected letters would have had
fewer chances to discover peoples secrets.
Altogether the now words on this topic
are of some interest. NJ H.'s theory
of the transposition Of the senses-which
implies that people may sometimes see
with their elbows-is . fine piece Of pro-
fessional imagination.
