MR.. BALFoUR'S SENSIBLE AID
DRESS.

A meeting was held in London
one DAY last week, at the official
residence of the Lord Mayor, at
which were present Rt. Hon. A. J.
Balfour; the American Ambas-
sador, Thomas F. Bayard, and
most of the leading fnanciers of
London.
The subject before the meeting
was the financial situation throughs
ont the world. Mr.. Balfour spoke
strongly in favor Of a bi-metallic
standard, to be established by Inter-
National agreement. 1t is the
growing opinion of the best in
formed and most intelligent fnan-
ciers and business men generally
throughout this country that no
equal bi-metallic standard can be
successfully established without
such an agreement. We all who
are Democrats, and who wish to
obey the pledges of the Democratic
platform, are bi-metallists, but the
belief is growing stronger day by
day that silver can eve be mains
tanned on an equality and parity
| with gold unless it is made go with
the nations of the old world, with
which we are so closely and init
mately connected in u CONNER.
cial relations.
There is no disputlng the fact
that the great body Of the people
of the United States are bi-metals
lists, and the great majority of those
who now favor the speedy repeal
of the Sherman law would gladly
| welcome some solution of the tnan-
cial problem that would meet the
needs of the commercial and busis
ness world, and at the same time
hold silver in its accustomed place
as a money metal of established
value.
If the great Governments OF
Europe and America will agree to
establish and maintain the parity OF
gold and silver upon a reasonable
ratio of values, there will be no
further trouble with the silver
question in this country.
Until this is done, it is the opins
ion of the wisest financiers and
statesmen that it would be disasr
trous for this country TO attempt to
coin into money all the silver that
would be brought here from all
parts Of the world. under a free and
unlimited coinage act.

The Church of tho Heretics.

What shall be done with religa
ious heretics, men who reject the
outward forms of religion but ac-
cept IFS spirit? 1t is a serious guess
ton for the heretics, and possibly
for the churches. We cannot at
tempt to answer it here, but note
that in the last issue Of the Evams
gezist the Rev. William Hoppaugh,
a Presbyterian clergyman, advises
the formation Of a "Church of the
Heretics." He is probably not al
together serious; for a church that
would snit one hereto might not
suit any other. But his PROPOSE
ton offers food for thought. The
heretics, like other Christians, see
the picture from different points of
view. But let US hope that like
other Christians. they acknowledge
in spirit, if not in letter, the religs
ion of all sensible men.-N. Y.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

We lay before III readers this
morning the full text of President
Cleveland's message to Congress
now assembled in special session in
Washington. 1t is a strong paper,
condensed and concentrated, and,
like all of Mr.. CleYeland's state
papers, it breathes the courage of
his convictions in every line.
This country, under the party
policy that grew up during the
generation past, has been setting
itself persistently in the face Of
facts any in opposition to the forces
of nature. AS always must happen
in such case, it is now getting the
worst of it. We have built up an
artificial wall of taxes for the re.
striction of trade and we find ours
selves the sufferers. We have been
trying by artificial means to hold
up the value of a cammodity, silver,
which has been steadily depreoiats
ing under the operation Of natural
laws, and we have only succeeded
in upsetting all other values. What
is required of Congress, primarily,
is to recognize the facts that the
civilized world generally has recog-
nized and to remove the artificial
barriers that time has shown to be
both impotent and harmful.
These facts the message of Mr..
Cleveland lays before Congress in
simple, incontrovertible shape, and
leaves with that body the entire
| responsibility of legislation which
is their reserved constitutional
right,
Cleveland has done his full duty
now let Congress do likewise.

H TARIFF.
1t was my purpose to ummon Con-

ing September that we might enter
promptly upon the work CT tariff reform,
which the true interests of the country
clearly demanded, which so large a ma.

frages, desire ond expect, to the accoms
plishment of which every effort of the
present administration is pie 7ged. But
while tariff reform has lost nothing of its
immediate and permanent importance
and must in the near future engage the
attention of Congress, it has seemed to me
that the financial condition of the country
should at once, and before all other sui.
jects, be considered by your honorable
body.
1 earnestly recommend the prompt res
peal of the provisions of the act passed
July 18th, 1890. authorizing the purchase

peoples money.
This matter rises above the plans
of party politics. 1t vitality concerns
every business and calling and ems
ters every household in the land.
There is one important aspect of the
subject which especially should never
be overlooked. At times like the pre-
sent when the evils of unsound finance
threaten US, the Spectator may antici-
pate q harvest gathered from the misfor-
tune of others; the capitalist may pro-
tect himself by boarding or may even
find profit in the fluctuations of values,
but the wage earner-the first to be in
jured by a deprecated currency and the
last 10 receive the benefits OF its correc-
tion-is practically defenseiess. He re-
lies for work upon the ventures of con.
ident and contented capital. This fall
ing him, his condition Is without al
lewiston, for he can neither prey on the
m~isfortunesof others nor hoardhis labor.
One of the greatest statesmen our
country has known, speaking more
than fifty years &C.,, when a derange-
ment of the country had caused COM
mercial distress: THE very man of all
Others who has the deepest interest IN
a sound currency and who suffers most
by mischievous legislation in money
matters, is the man who earns his daily
bread by his daily toll"
These words are as pertinent now as
on the day they were uttered anC ought
to impressively remind us that a failure
in the discharge OF u duty at this

countrymen who labor, and who,

BERLIN, Jan. 1S.-The bodies Of three

streets to-day. Navigation is suspended on
the Elbe to-day and at Hamburg. The
poor of tie Russian cities are suffering
keenly. The depression of trade left tens
of thousands unemployed. The social

uganda among these men. To-day four
meetings were held. all very dsorderly.
The meetings resolved to demand that pub
lie works be undertaken, in order that idle
men with families TO support might find
employment.
Horrible stories come from the remo'er
regions Of Europe, and especially from the
Balkans, where death and suffering wero
caused by the severity of the winter. In
Servia the wolves have abandoned the for

villages in search of prey. A young girl
was devoured by three wolves in the SUI

DEMPSEY WAS WEAK.
Direct Denial of the Charge of
Wholesale Poisoning.
The Defendant Was Greatly Agitated,
and for a Time 1t Was Feared
He Would Faint.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Jan. 18.-The defense in
the Homestead poisoning case against
Hugh Dempsey occupied this mornings
session OF the court by examining a large
number of witnesses to prove that the sick
ness in the mill was not unusual. Many
testified that in previous strike they had
suffered from an Illness the symptoms of
which were similar to those which killed
the Don-unIOn men.
At the afternoon session, after several
unimp0rtant witnesses had been examined,
the defendant, Hugh Dempsey, was called.
He said Il first saw Gallagher in my Office.
He was brought there by Beatty. Davidson
was there. They were introduced to me by
Beatty. Beatty said that they were the
men to go to Homestead, get work and re-
port to me how things were running in the
mill. Nothing was said about putting
powder in food. did not employ them for
that purpose ! promised them compen-
satiou. l never gave Gallagher or Davidson
any powder aud did not say that wanted TO
give the men anything TO weaken them. l
did not talk to them about the strike in
Chicago and know nothing about any plot
to poison"
Much stir was created in the courtroom
during Dempsey'S cross examination by
his great agitation. He became much eX-
hausted and fears were entertained that lie
would faint and thus produce an unfavora-
BILE impression. When asked why he hired
men TO SPY for him in the Homestead mill
he replied Because / got telegram from
New York asking me to learn the condition
of affairs in the mill, as they were trying to
arrange settlement with Andrew Carne-
