!elphi:i Evening Bulletin.

Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
In 4 letter published elsewhere from
Professor Hinde, of Nova Scotia, to Sir
John \. Macdonald, the Canadian prime
minister, the professor gives Macdonald 4
very tart reply to his accusation that
Hinde has attempted to levy blackmail
upon him. 1t is certain that nobody who
understands the question at issus will be-
licve any such charge. Professor Hinde
was employed by the Dominion govern
mcnt and by the government Of the United
States to examine and arrange the docu-
ments offered in evidence before the Hal
flax fishery committee. While he was
performing this work he discoveccd that
the fishery statistics Of Canada had been
systematically falsified in order to swell
the claim of Canada to damages under the
Washington treaty. As was his duty,
Professor Hinde at once directed the at
tention Of this man Macdonald to the
truth. but he was rebuffcd. He then sent
the facts to the British government,
but he was refused hearing from it.
Then he made public statement, and
Macdonald, unable to answer the damnins
allegations, retorts with 4 charge that
Mr.. Hinde is trying to levy blackmail
upon him. Mr.. Hinde's response to this
is worth reading. 1t clearly intimates that
falsified tables Of statistics were used not
only in Halifax by the Dominion attorneys
but at Washington by Macdonald himself,
ut the timc Of the negotiation of the
Washington treaty. This matter demands
the immediate attention Of our govern
ment. Professor Hinde is employed by
our government, as we'll as by that
OF Canada we have right to the infor
nation procured by him, and that infor-
nation. SO far as it has been made public,
clearly indicates that the Canadian govern
ment obtained the Halifax award through
the instrumentality of one the most shame
less frauds in history. We all knew,
when we were called upon to pay five and
half million dollars for the fishery privil-
eges, that we were being swindled but
the method by which the swindle was per-
petratcd could net be detected. Professor
Hinde appears to have detected it, and
now our duty is to demand restitution and
full exposure Of the crime.

rassment of honest mon. As Mr.. Ramp
proposes to mind his business in the inter

to serve the gang according to his opportu-
mites. there is shabby conspiracy against
him, which was in part developed yester-
day before Esquire Block. Either the

this case. Mr.. Ramp is probably aware
that this matter is pretty we'll understood.

ONE of the evils of the too great
abundance of money is the facility it
gives for speculation in the necessaries of
life such as breadstuffs, meats, etc. There
is a statement lately put ahoat that there
are thirty-seven million bushels of wheat
now stored in the elevators of the princi-
pal wheat marts of the country. Six
teen millions of this we understand to
be in Chicago, and that city is 50 gorged
with grain that the principal railroad
lines centering there are forced to refuse
shipments for the present. Rates de-
clined there sharply last week, but seem
to be partially stifenipg up again. On
the other hand several hundred steamers
and shipping craft Of various kinds are
lying idle in New York waiting for
freight to foreign ports that can not now
be had even for ballast, since the cur
rent rates prevailing for grain in Europe
do not permit shipment at the prices
ruling on the Eastern seaboard. The
expectation is entertained that the for
eign deficiency must cause material
advance, and for this these vast stores of
wheat are held. Meantime, the price of
flour and bread is high in our own mar
kets at home, while the whole country
is bursting with its abundance of
cereals that ought to give us cheap
bread. Probably the stimulus of the
high price of wheat that has ruled
during the past fall has led to an in
creased acreage of wheat sown this
season, amounting to at least Is per
cent. above that of any former year.
Whether this will benefit the farmer, is
questionable, but at least it ought to in
sure us cheap breadstuffs after the en-
suing harvest, and that is something to
look forward to. But how the countless
millions of bushels of wheat, and oats,
and corn, are to be moved to market and
stored when it reaches there, is something
to think about. Meanwhile, what would
be the result if the foreign demand
should fall off another year and our over
stimulated production Of cereals the
coming summer be feftA to seek market
at home? This question is worth con-
sidering at this time.

GRAvE-RoBBING is one Of those hor-
rors that hang like black pail upon the
mind of the people of this country. It
is the elimination Of horrors, the great
dread that intensifes the grief which ma
ture pays to the forced separation Of the
deathIbed and the tomb. It is in the Or
der of nature that the dead must be
given up to the earth. Earth to earth,
ashes to ashes, dust to dust. At the
best they must go back to the simple ele-
ment. They mustlo all personal iden-
tity. To this inevitable law surviving
relatives and friends have learned to be
submissive. But there is nothing more
revolving to the minds Of the friends Of
the loved dead than the thought that
the remains may be dug up "in the in
terests Of science" and handled with the
brutal levity of the dissecting room, and
cut up and exhibited and lectured
upon and finally scattered as specimens
to furnish forth some country doctors
office-to inspire rural patients with
curious terror--or else east into the CO.'S
pool or sewer. And yet this business is
going on daily, or rather nightly.
