America Must Act Promptly.

" ASHlNG1ON, Otu
 Minister West says that England has no animosity toward America on account of the dynamite troubles, but is justifably indig- nant at the delay in passing suppressive laws against the manufacture of explosions. He remarks that there is no danger of interrup- ton of the an1icable relations between the two countries, and that the passage of the Edmunds bill vii! be very gratifying to the English people, America must not imagine, said he, that it will be exempt from the operations of the dynamiters. The or ganization infamous as it is has an extended sympathy which if not checked commands the active cooperation of all per sons who are in favor of upsetting social order. England is not alone interested in the extermination of the dyna- miters, a fact that America will soon realize if oppressive measures are not soon adopted The time may not be far distant when in fernal machines are exploded in the crypt of the American Capitol as they were in the House of Commons.
 Rossa's Champion Roughly Handled.
 LONDON, Jan. 25.-On Saturday after the explosions an American, passenger on a Northwestern train from London to Liver pool, became involved in an alteration with fellow passengers who denounced the United States government for permitting Rossa to be at large and conduct his nefarious prac- tices. He was roughly handled and finally drew revolver with which to defend him self until the train reached Chester, where he alighted deeming it dangerous to pro ceed further with his excited fellow pas sengers.

The British Press on the Outrage.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The Standard editorial ly says this morning that England cannot lose Ireland no matter what the dynamitards may do. Independent Ireland would threaten British security daily. These outrsges are not the deeds of an Emmet or Fitzgerald.
 The Telegraph's editorial on the dynamite outrages says that the government cannot ex- pect the United States to suppress Rossa and his gang while it is itself afraid to handle Parnell.
 The Daily News halls Senator Edmunds' resolution as step in the right direction and says something more is needed. than motions like Bayard's.

were sustained by Constables Coz
 and Cole and civil engineer named
 Edwin Green, who was visiting the Parlia-
 ment buildings. Over 2 hundred visitors
 were in the House of Commons when the l explosion occurred in Westminster Hall.
 Most of them rushed out of the building to ascertain the cause of the report, and thus many lives were saved
 | An Irishman who gave his name as Gun nlngham but who has also been known as Dalton and as Gilbert, was found among the visitors who were detained for scrutiny after the explosion at the Tower. He had recent ly come from America, and being unable to give satisfactory explanation of his object in visiting the Tower he was taken into cus- tody and conveyed to the police cells at Whitechapel, where he will be detained un- til he is able to give clearer account of him self
 The Scotland Yard officials have received an anonymous letter purporting to give a full account Of the conspiracy to blow up the Parliament building, the Tower and other public edifces, together with the names of the persons engaged in the plot and a list of the buildings markeds for destruc- tion. While no reliance is placed upon the accuracy of the details contained in the letter, the authorities have placed under surveillance several of the prisoners named therein and caused the places mentioned to be carefully watched
 Cunningham, the man arrested at the Tower yesterday, is still confined.
 Cunningham will be arraigned in the police court on Monday and charged with causing the explosion of the Tower. The guard around the Whitechapel police station where he IS confined has been doubled in conse- quence of the threatening attitude of the enormous crowd which surround it. Curses upon the perpetrators of the outrage are loud and frequent and while the police are inde- fatigable in preserving order, it is plain to be seen that the denunciations showered by the multitude upon the heads of the dynamiters find in their hearts tacit indorsement
 It is estimated that according to the course and energy of the explosive employed in the House of Commons that if the House had been in session, Mir. Gladstone, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Mr. Charles Bradlaugh and 2G0 other members would have been killed
 The Parliament buildings were surrounded by an immense crowd all day and were strongly guarded by the police and military. No one was allowed to enter except members of Parliament, peers and few privileged per sons. The damages done to the structure is not very serious and can be repaired in week or ten days. The debris is being rapid y removed and it is expected that all traces of the explosion will be obliterated before the resembling of Parliament The Queen telegraphed to-day from Osborne house in quiring as to the condition of Constables Cole and Cox, who were injured by the ex- plosion in the Parliament buildings.

THE CIvIL-SERvICE REFORM.

The Rules Have Become More Lax and Are
Easily Evaded.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-A good deal of un-
easiness prevails just now among the old en-
ployes of the departments here. The new rule
adopted by the Civil-Service Commission puts il
within the power of the heads of the departments
to fill their places with spoils Democrats as soon
as the mere forms of tho law can be complied
with. Under the old rule the four highest names
in each class were certified to any secretary who
wished to fiji vacancy Under the new rule
the names of all who have passed examination
are sent up, and the Secretary can certainly find,
in a class of twenty or thirty, enough Dem
ocrats to fill all vacancies And besides, the ex-
aminatons are not as rigorous as they formerly
were. Men are passing examinations now who
would not have even tried it three months ago.
The bars are down now and the hungry will
soon have their hands in the swag up to their
elbows.

FRANCES COLONIAL POLICY.
Premier Brisson's Statement to the Chambers
COldIy Received,

Premier Brisson's Statement to the Chambers
Coldly Received.
PARIS, Nov 16-The Cabinet at a meeting
to-day, agreed to refuse general amnesty to
political prisoners, but favored the granting of
individual pardons NJ. Brsson, the Premier,
made statement to-day in the Chamber Of
Deputies respecting the policy of the govern
ment. 1t was received very coldly by the mem
bers especially the allusion to the refusal of the
government to grant general amnesty to polit-
ical prisoners. A Cabinet crisis is probable He
said the government would not hesitate to adopt
fresh measures of taxation if it were
necessary, to cover deficits in the finance
department arising from commercial
depression and military expenditure.
He hoped the French protectorate over AMMAN
would shortly show good results and permit the
recall Of a portion of the French troops in the
country IN the coming spring. The Cabinet will
shortly ask the Chamber to vote fresh credits on
account of Madagascar, when the government
would furnish further details thereon. Regard
ing the religious question, M. Brisson said: II
appears certain that despite the attitude of the
clergy majority Of Frenchmen do not favor
the separation of church and state 1t is neces-
sary that the whole question should be thor
oughly discussed at the next session of the
Chamber. Meanwhile the government will insist
obligatory military service for all. He concluded
with an appeal to all political parties to uphold
the French republic He said the cost of
the expedition to Tonquin and Madagascar
had borne too GENEROUSLY upon the fnan-
ces of the government, and it behooved France
to abandon her former policy, having, however,
due regard to the national interests and the
honor of the country. 1t was proposed, there
fore. to establish system of protection at Hue,
which should radiate throughout AMMAN and
TonQuin, and at the same time carefully avoid
everything that might lead to the eventual an
nexation of those countries, It was also in
tended to form an army consisting of AMMAN
troops. paid by the King of AMMAN, and of Ton
qunese, paid temporarily by France, to protect
the Tonquin frontiers. The King of AMMAN
would administrate the government, of the whole
country, under the guidance of the French Resi-
dent With regard to Madagascar, M. Brisson
said the government recognized the fact that the
present state of affairs there could not continue.
He hoped to elucidate the subject when discus
sing the credits.
The statements made by the Prime Minister
are taken to indicate the collapse of the French
enterprises in Tonauin and Madagascar
The Chamber then adjourned until Thursday
1t is stated that Premier Brisson recommends
for amnesty only Louise Michel, Prince Krapot-
kin and two Lyons Anarchists

credulous and unsophisticated exconfederate
soldiers firm of lawyers is sending out circu-
lars to the ignorant OK confederate soldiers in
the South, soliciting their clientage in procuring
them bounty or damages from the United
States government
The circulars contain preface in which it is
asked if the party receiving one of them was
drafted, conscripted or otherwise ''pressed" into
the Confederate service. If so, he is asked
to read what follows Then it is stated
the Constitution of the United States pledges
protection to all its citizens, and if any of them
forced to do service in war they are en-
titled to damages. An appropriation is expected
from Congress, it is set forth, to pay these dam
ages. The English law is quoted to substan-
tiate this allegation Each person addressed is
requested to remit $5 to the attorneys, for the
purpose of defraying expenses in procuring the
appropriation. It is estimated that at least
$50, 900 men were forced into the Confederate
service, and it is intended that every one Of
them, their heirs or legal representatives, shall
have an opportunity to invest S. in this scheme

For supplying the People with Correct Silver
Dollars.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov 16.-In the mass of opin.
ions being expressed on the important question
OF silver coinage are some very unique ones
John 6. Hertwig. distinguished German citi-
zen of Washington who has made n study Of
the financial question, and especially of the
standard coins of the world in conversation
with your correspondent to-day, said:
Gold is the standard money for this country.
but also want to see an ample amount of cor.
rect silver dollars in the hands of the people.
Congress should stop coming deprecated
standard silver dollar. and provide for the COIN
age of correct silver dollar, containing a gold
dollars worth of pure silver, according to the
current price of silver in the worlds market"
but the silver bullion market fiuctuates, was
suggested.
eyes," replied Mr.. Hertwig, that is true; but
whenever this correct silver dollar deprecates 3
per cent in bullion value, compared to gold,
then Congress should provide correct weight,
and recoin the silver so as to keep it on the
same basis gold"
What about stable paper currency?"
Well, the legal tender or United States
notes, should be redeemed il the correct silver
dollars, and retired. But the government, fof
deposits of gold coin aud correct silver dollars
to be made with it by the people. should issue as
circulating medium, gold and silver certif-
Gates, redeemable on demand. These certificates
would form sound and permanent national
paper currency. The present silver certificates
outstanding, when coming back for dues to the
United States Treasury, would have to be-
Cancelled as they are based on depreciatinG
coin"
Mr.. Hertwig has advanced these theories at
length in publication on American Money"
and is very earnest in their advocacy. There
are as many ideas on the silver question as there
are minds in public lfe No two agree, it seems
and for that reason it is improbable that there
will be any change for some time-at least, in
silver coinage.
