MR.. KAUFMAN, German editor of
Cleveland, Ohio, an interview with
whom appears in the HERALD's dis
patches this morning, gets at the root of
the socialistic situation in Germany.
The effort to suppress large body of
people struggling for natural rights al
ways results in spreading their senti-
ments and in making converts to their
cause. He is right again in the point
that socialism is popular because it
promises the people immunity from
military service. Germany is an armed
camp. Wherever one goes there are met
forts, barracks and arms. The helmeted
soldiers of the empire march, counter
march, drill and parade on every village
green, and in the streets of every
city. The life of the German is sol
dier's life. He dons uniform aud
shoulders arms before the down sprouts
on his cheek, and he does not doff the
one nor lay down the other until he be-
gins to grow grey, and even then he is
liable to military service under possible
emergencies until he dies. The socialis-
tic movement in Germany is move
ment for natural rights. A people so
enlightened and self-contained as the
Germans cannot be governed by despotic
methods. Bismarck by his iron will
and intense intellect has held the
course Of events back for q genera.
tion, but no one, were he demigod,
can longer stay this current which sets
80 strong in the direction Of more pop
ular form OF government. It is init.
mated that the young Emperor is disap-
pointed that bis own stand in his recent
rescripts should have resulted in such
sweeping socialistic victories at the polls.

AvCIys
WASHINGTON, February 3d. Senate,
Dolph's bill to constitute Mary Island
Wrangel, Juneau, Sand Point, Kodiak
and Ounalaska ports of delivery within
the collection district of Alaska, and ap
propriating $25, 900 to erect the necessary
buildings on Mary Island and Sand
Point, was referred by the Senate com.
mittee on commerce to Secretary Win.
dom for an expression of his views
thereon. In response the Secretary
says:
Mary Island is of no value except for
custom house purposes. 1t is recon-
mended as the best site for the initial
port OF the peninsular trade, by the off
GERS OF customs, revenue, marine and
coast survey and shipping and mercan.
tile interests.
Wrangel, one hundred miles north of
Mary Island, has already been consti-
tuted customs station by administra-
tive action. 1t is an old and somewhat
important station Of trade.
Juneau is on the main land of the
peninsula, two hundred miles north oil
Wrangel, towards Sitka. The necessary
Offices and buildings are there; it is q
large and fourishing town, the center of
the mining industries of the Territory.
Kodiak is on the island of that name,
nearly one hundred miles west of Stka.
1t is the centre Of the salmon fishing and
canning industry, important resources of
the Territory. There is single officer,
and proper building on the ground.
Sand Point is on Popof island, one of
the Aleutian chain, several hundred
miles from the main land. 1t is the rem.
devious for hundreds of fishing and
hunting vessels, and, therefore, one of
the most important customs stations in
the Territory. As the inducements for
smuggling and engaging in demoralizing
traffic with the natives, are so great and
so largely exercised, no time should be
lost in providing the necessary super.
vision, says the Secretary.
Ounalaska is in the Aleutian chain,
200 miles west of Sitka, at the principal
entrance of the Bering sea. A customs
officer has been stationed there many
years.
Except at Mary Island and at Sand
Point, the Secretary says, there will be
no expense consequent upon the passage
of the bill.

port that a syndicate through the law

that they. had received advices from Lon
don that the Bank of England is about to
exercise its right never hitherto asserted to
use silver to the extent OF one-tbird of its
reserve and to issue one pound notes in sill
yer against it. The dispatches also said that
the bank had purchased 5000 coo pounds of
silver bullion in expectation of the action.
One banker said that if the Bank of Eng

be such period ofspeculation and general
initiation in the country as has not been ex-
perienced since the discovery of gold
in California. Mr.. Forshay said that
he was confident that the dis
patch which he received was well founded.
'There have been" he continued Every
heavy expectations of silver to England
recently, the last shipment being last Fri
day, when we sent over 1000 ounces. l
think, however, our dispatch intended to
say that the bank had accumulated 3,000,000
ounces, or about 100000, instead of
100000 pounds. But the former is pretty
large sum. Ibelieve that ii such step to-
ward silver certificates be taken in England
it will have been taken merely in anticipa-
ton of Mr.. WINDOWS plan. Not alone this,
but it will be great advance toward the
establishing of bimetallism and IAN inter
national currency. For this fact is ind4bit-
able, that England and the;UItfted States con-.
troll the money markets of the world. If
England should follow our example and
adopt silver as the basis of part its circu-
lation, France, Germany and, of course,
other countries of Europe could not fail to

THE WIDOWIN JAIL.

Whitehead, an unattractive but wealthy
widow residing with her father, David Me-
harry, one of the wealthiest farmers in this
county, eighteen miles south of the city,
was placed in jail here to-day charged
jointly with Rev. w. F. f. Petit with MUIR
der in the first degree. The arrest was
made on an Indictment returned by the
grand jury'last night, a special session hav-
ing been called to consider the case. Petit,
an ex-Methodist minister, was arrested at
Columbus, Ohio, charged with the murder
of his wife last July by administering
strychnine. He was granted preliminary
hearing, and his bail was fixed at $4,000 but
he was unable to give it, and the warrant
issued for him was read to him In
Jail to-day. Mrs Whitehead was suspected
of completely in the crime. When the grand
Jury convened last week Mrs Whitehead
was summoned as a witness, but declined to
testify on the gTonnd that her answers would
have tendency to criminate her. She was
ordered to answer by the court, and was
held in contempt for not doing so. On o
petition from the grand jury, who said her
testimony was not required, she was re-
leased by the court. The indictment against
her followed at once.
