The annual statistical summary of the ship
ping of the world, recently published, fur
nishes some interesting data. One of the
most striking features is the enormous in
crease in the tonnage of steam vessels as
compared with sailing vessels. but the United
States have not been benefited materially by
the change. Ia 1876 the sailing tonnage, in
comparison with steam. held the ratio of l45
to sc. but at present the ratio is 1913 to l02
but the tonnage of steam vessels has near
ly doubled in the last ten years, so that
the ratio has not been affected by loss of
sail tonnage to the extent that these figures
might seem to indicate. OF the sailing yes
sells of the world Great Britain lays claim to
one third, and the United States and Canada
combined have only one-sixth, Norway has
about oue-tenth under its flag. In steam
England takes the lead with about two-thirds
of the total tonnage.

that they regard the President as proof

Greenback democrats are placed in a
quandary by the position of the admins
tration in relation to the coinage of silver
and to currency and banking. The ad-
ministration IS squarely opposed to their
opinions upon these important subjects.
Some of its own party side in Congress
do not hesitate to say that Cleveland and
his cabinet have been bought by the
.money kings" ''bankers" and "bond-
holders" and that he is shaping his course
entirely in their interest We do not see how
our former greenback friends who voted
for Cleveland can support his administra.
ton without abandoning entirely the
views which they have held to and advo-
Gated in regard to financial matters.
Senator Beck's war upon the admins
tration in regard to the silver question has
excited good deal of interest. His
speech upon the subject drew the undi-
vided attention of the Senate. He charged
in effect that Secretary Manning's financi-
al policy was essentially unsound and dis
honest, and intimated that both the Presi-
dent and his favorite secretary had been
bought up by the bondholders. 1t is
something very unusual for senator to
assal the President of his own party in
the first year of his administration. 1t
signifies lively times ahead in the unhap-
Ply democratic family. Now that the ball
is opened we may look tor its vigorous
continuation after the holidays are over
According to the census of 1880 the

persons, and support 525,704 Others. An
interest like this is entitled on all princi.
pies of fairness and justice to the most
careful consideration of the government.
Secretary Bayard, without consultation
with those interested in fisheries, pledged
himself to use the influence Of the admin
istration to secure at the hands of Con-
gress the reference of all questions in
volved in the fisheries to an international
commission. The American Fishery
Union is now circulating y memorial.
which is being everywhere signed by those
interested in American fisheries. asking
Congress not to- do what Secretary
Bayard has pledged himself to favor.

M. E. Church Conference.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 1O-The Cincinnati
conference of the NJ. E. Church ofwhich DR..
A. B. Leonard, prohibition candidate for
Governor, is q member, took several votes
yesterday bearing indirectly upon his candi'
dacy. The first was when the report of the
committee on temperance was offered. That
report was in substance the same as last
year, reaffirming the position of the church
against taxation and license, and in favor of
constitutional prohibition of the liquor traf-
fc. An amendment was offered that the
adoption of this report should not be con-
strued as an endorsement of any political
party. This was tabled by vote of 81 to
DC. Then motion was adopted, without
division, declaring that the preceding vote
should not be construed as an endorsement
Of any political party. In the report of the
committee on the state of the church, a
clause was stricken out by vote of 60 to
42, which contained these words: "While
we cannot endorse the participation in poll
tics of any of our ministers by becoming
candidates or public advocates of any polit-
ical party" DR.. Leonard was reappointed
to the Central Church, Springfield. Ohio.

Mr.. Kelley.

At yesterdays session of the Catholic Be-
nevolent Union in New York Mr.. Kelley
made short address, substantially as fol-
lows:
"However convinced man may be of the
good will and firm affection of body Of his
associates, his must be different fibre from
mine to hear without insensibility the &C.
claim which greeted me as l crossed your
threshold. The petty spites at home and
the bitter malignity abroad which have as.
sailed me during the past four months vanish
in the enthusiasm of your welcome. 1t
would be afIectation to believe that all this
is personal, however delightful it may be to
so consider it; but since have gazed into your
eyes and felt the firm grasp of your hands |
have endured and suffered many things for
causes and principles dear to the heart of
every man present. Holding an official po
sition, as I do, do not feel at liberty to
speak as / might wish concerning those
causes. However, the press of two CONT
nents has taken care to make them known.
I assume that in an Irish convention shall
be grasped by your warm hands, as one
cause was that loved Ireland. I assume
that in Catholic convention shall be
greeted warmly, as raised my voice to pro.
test against the spoliation of the Holy See
by foreign prince. I assume that in an
American convention shall be welcomed,
because another cause was that was too
fond of republican principles to be accept
able to despotic court. firmly hope that
this generation will live to bear the thun.

II might pay my respects to what the

is grateful and generous in this convention.
can only close by invoking Gods blessing
on this our beloved union"
A resolution was adopted expressing the
sense of tue convention that the action of
Austria in rejecting Mr.. Kelley on account
of the race of his wife was repugnant to the
of the American government.

THE LATE Col. WALToN.-Col. James B.
Walton, whose death in New Orleans, has
been announced, was born in Newark, n.
j., in 1918, and went, when an infant, with
his fathers family to New Orleans. The
friend, associate and comrade of Gen. Per-
sifer F. Smith in organizing the militia of
Louisiana, he commanded battery known
as the Washington Artillery, and when the
war with Mexico broke out Col. Walton
went to the front in command Of the First
Regiment, of Gen. Smiths brigade, of which
it was the nucleus. After the Mexican war
Col. Walton served as secretary of the con-
stitutional convention of 1852 and subse-
quently was secretary for Mayor Waterman
in 1857. In the late civil war the Washing
ton Artillery battalion again took service
under their old commander in the Confede-
rate army, and he remained with them until
the war ended, declining a promotion that
would have taken him away from the gal.
liant men of his own battalion. Since the
war he has been an auctioneer and city as
SCISSOR. He was Mason of high rank. He
was buried Tuesday afternoon BY his old
comrades Of the Washington Artillery.

A REMARKABLE ToMB.-One of the mos

A REMARKABLE ToMB.--One of the most
remarkable tombs of the ancients was that
carved out of rock, by order of Darius for
the reception of his own remains, and which
exists to this day at Persepolis, after dura-
ton of twenty-three centuries. The portico
is supported by twenty-four columns twenty
feet in height, and in the centre is the form
of doorway, seemingly the entrance to the
interior but it is solid; the entablature is of
chaste design. Above the portico there is
what may be termed an ark, supported by
two rows of figures, about the size of life
bearing it on their uplifted hands, and at
each angle, grifin-an ornament which is
very frequent at Persepolis. On this stake
stands the king, with bent bow in his
hand worshiping the sun, the image of
which is seen above the altar that stands
before him, while above his head hovers his
feroucher, or disembodied spirit. This is
the good genius that in Persian and Nine.
yite sculpture accompanies the king when
performing any important act On each
side of the ark are nine niches each con-
tanning a statue In bas-relief No other
portion of the tomb was intended to be seen,
excepting the sculptured front; and we
must, therefore, conclude that the entrance
was kept secret, aud that the avenues were
by subterranean passages so constructed
that none but the privileged could lind the
way. We are told by Theophrastus that
Darius was buried in coffin of Egyptian
alabaster; also that the early Persians pre-
served the bodies of their dead in honey
or wax.
