SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS.

Proceedings of the International Con-
vention at st. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. AFTER devotional
exercises, the work of the International
Sunday School convention was oontin-
ued this morning, with report of the
past three years. showing systematic
advancement. The present great need,
it said, was systematic financing, to
supply money for needed and pressing
work. The convention then took up the
question of finances and soon raised
over $22, 900 for the next three yearH.
The nominating committee then re-
ported the names for members OF the
international executive committee, one
from each state, territory and province,
with B. F. Jacobs of Illinois as chair
man of the board.
At the afternoon session the report of
the international lesson committee was
read, reviewing the work of the past
three years, and detailing the necessity
for making the Lessons; gha. they are
within the grasp of all, yet OF depth
enough to be of value to the most ad-
vanced. Secretary Randolph urged the
preparation of teachers for theirsEork,
and replied to criticiems OF the meth
cd. After two hours debate the prepar-
alton OF decisive announcement was
left with the resolutions commtttee,
which, it is said, favors the present
series.
At the evening session there were ad-
dresses of several delegates on the needs
of the negro and the training OF TEACHERS.

The outgivings as to the prospects of

The outgivings as to the prospects of
our revenue receipts being greatly in
sufficient to meet the expenses of the
government disposes pretty effectually
OF all hopes for any liberal appropria-
tions for deep sea harbor on the Los
Angeles coast Santa Monica and San
Pedro may alike give up any expectation
of government aid Tor a long time to
come. The direct result of the passage
of the Mckinley bill has been to derange
the whole trade of the world, as the
HERALD predicted would be the case.
When the bill WAS on its passage this
journal took and maintained the posi-
tion that no legislative body could throw
the commercial gearing OF the world out
OF running order without violent reac-
tion which would be disastrous to itself.
The Mckinley bill has acted as verite-
BILE boomerang, and has knocked over
he thrower. 1t is very cunning thing
on the part of Republican editors and
orators to attempt to load the burden OF
leseened revenue and national CONNER
cial disaster ON Mr.. Cleveland's admin
istration. Every man of sense knows
that the present difficulties Of henation,
politically and commercially, are direct
inheritance from little Benny Harrison.
We do not claim that, in all respects.

A GENTLEMAN on the HERALD's staff,
who recently paid visit to Santa Csta-
lima, and enjoyed his trip greatly, could
not resist the temptation OF getting off a
little pleasantly on yellow jackets, of
whom he encountered few, attracted
by a liberal display of fresh fruit. Indulg-
ing in natural exaggerstion, intended to
be playful, some people may have i'm
bibed the idea that there is something
like drawback in visiting this charm
ing resort. On the contrary the HERALD
assures its readers that there is no more
delightful place anywhere than Santa
Catalina, and that under the capable
management of the Banning boys its at
fractions are increasing every day.

FRANCE HAS A GEARY LAW.

The cry OF horror that has gone up
from the sentimentalists and parsons at
the east in relation to the tyranical re-
quirements of the Geary act is ludri-
crous in the face of the fact that even
travellers are restrained from passing
through the great majority of countries
without passports and registration. The
Geary law only requires the G hinese in
this country to register, and the howl
made against this act by the Chinese
Six Companies, who have found it i'm.
mensely profitable to Hmuggle coolies
into the country, has been taken up and
seconded by the eastern church organi-
cations and namby-pamby sentimental
lists. as if the modest requirement were
q great violation ofhuman rights. From
information just received at the state
department from Ambassador Eustis,
it seems that France has recently en-
acted law to compel the registration of
certain classes of foreign residents. In
substance the law provides that for.
eigners who have not obtained leave
to be domiciled in France, or who
come into that country for the pur.
pose of exercising their professions or
doing any kind OF business therein, will
have to register within eight days after
the arrival at the place where they pro-
pose to reside; that such foreigners will
receive, upon payment of fee, certi-
fcate stating that they have complied
with the law, without which they can

THE San Francisco Clearing House
has adopted the rule that no more over
drafts will be allowed in the banks of
that city. Such action is the legitimate
outcome of such scandslous abuse of
banking privileges as was revealed by
the operations OF the defunct Pacific
bank. The number of people who have

THE Right Honorable A. j. Balfour,
the leader of the house of commons un-
der Lord Salisbury's premiership, made
at London, on the Sd of August, one of
the most powerful bimetallic speeches
that has been made in either the old or
the new world. He acquitted himself
of simply unanswerable argument in
favor of the double standard of gold and
silver. We shall recur to it again, and
quote largely from it. One of the anus
ing features of the orations OF the cham.
pions OF the gold bugs is the cool as
sumption that England is unanimous in
her devotion to the single gold stand
ard. In rebuttal of this notion we find
the late premier's right hand man, and
the undoubted brains of the Tory lead
ership, planting himself fairly and
squarely on the double standard of gold
and silver. If it were not for the
treachery in the United States to BIZ
metallism, the double standard of gold
and silver could be made to control the
financial affairs OF the world before next
spoken attitude of Mr.. Balfour, several
of the governors OF the Bank of England
share his opinions. 1t will be remem.
bered that the leading agricultural
bodies of England, short time ago,
strongly memorialized the government
in the interest of bimetallism. There is
no reason why the people Of the United
States should not be aroused on this
matter, with the result of sure victory.
All that is needed to prevent the rob-
berry of the world is to resist the demand
to etand and deliver.

In India / once Witnessed most
remarkable phosphoric light issue
from giant flower called by natives
"bed-swar The flower was nearly
six inches in diameter and of deep
red color, but with yellowish petals.
My attention was called to the lum-
inous radiations of this beautiful
plant by guide,and we used to visit
the garden every morning two hours
before sunrise to observe this fascin-
ating spectacle. This was during
the months of July and August. The
light, although most brilliant in the
early morning hours, could also be
discerned during twilight, but not
after total darkness came on. This
led me to believe that the light was
not admitted from the flower itself,
but that it was reflected. To de-
termine this | placed one of the
flowers in a perfectly dark, that is,
light-tight room, where | knew the
air to be perfectly dark, and not the
faintest spark could be seen This
might have teen caused by the
broken stem, but am OF the opinion
that the light was reflected, as it
was quite intense and could be
seen at distance of several feet.
When viewed closely the petal re-
sembled miniature incandescent

A most interesting anecdote of
Charlotte Corday has seen the light,
apropos of the centenary of Marat's
execution. While Charlotte was on
her trial she saw an artist sketching
her portrait and she turned her face
around so as to give him better
view. After her condemnation she
gave him a sitting in the prison that
he might finish his work, and when
he had been thus engaged about two
hours a tap was heard on the door
and the executioners entered. The
victim turned pale, but was self-pos-
sessed and she cut off a long lock of
hair with scissors and gave it to the
artist, asking him at the same time
to send replica of her portrait to
her family. This was done. The
artist was a German named Hauer,
and the story comes from his daugh-
ter-in-law, who is still living The
lock was afterward lost. The por-
trait hangs at Versailles.
