no FRAUDULENT TEA IN CHICAGO.
Secretary CnriIsic's Representative
Finds inspection satisfactory.

Chicago, ian. 1.--Assistant Appraiser
William Mckinney OF New York. who
was appointed by Secretary Carllsle TO
inquire into the methods of the 'nspec-
ton at the various ports of entry, met
at Appraiser Hoyne's Office represent
tativos Of every firm in Chicago which
imports teas. 1t had been charged
that interruptions dealers had been
accustomed to export to Canada re-
jected tens from the larger Importing
centers, where the inspectors and ap-
pruisers were competent judges. and
to relmport the teas to some small port
OF entry, where 1t was passed and
thrown upon the market in COMPETE
ton with good teas Mr.. Mckinney
came TO Chicago because It had been
represented at New York that great
deal of the spurious teas were passed
by the local appraisers.
After a days investigation of the
methods In the Chicago Office under
Appraiser Hoyre he was convinced
that Chicago's inspection was second to
none in the country. The Chicago i'm
porters do not handle any Canadian
tea. All received at this port comes
direct from the orient. Mr.. McISin-
ney will visit the onlces at milwaukee,,
St. Paul and Detroit.
II was suggested yesterday that
three ports OF entry for teas be es-
tablishcd--at New York. Chicago and
San Francisco. a conference OF all APP
praisers will be held at New York on

ALABAMA noLp-up.
TIL ModGs opernndI Different from
Other Train Robberies

Birmingham, Ala, Jun. lat Liv-
ingsion, Ala. tonight. two masked
robbers boarded the south-bound OK
press train No. 3 on the Alabama
Great Southern road, which left here
at $3.50 p. M, and robbed the express
car of Its valuables. The scene OF the
robbery is 100 miles south OF here. and
details are meager. IL seems that the
robbers disguised as passengers. after
boarding the train, waited until II was
again In motion, and then going out on
the platform, put on their masks and
re-entered the express car ana Mt the
point OF pistols, compelled the messan-
ger 10 give up the contents of his safe
which Is thought to have contained
several thousand dollars The robbery
was committed very quickly. and when
II was completed the robbers backed
out OF the car with their pistols SIN
on the express messenger nnd baggage
master who occupied the same car
pulled the bell cord, got Off when the
train slowed up and took TO the
woods, There is absolutely no clue as
yet, but the actions OF the robbers in
dicate that they were green hands ana
local talent at that. The express MOO
pie will not tell just how much money
was taken, but It is not thought 10
have been very large amount, as the
train was local one and did not mako
a practice OF carrying large amounts
OF money. The railroad and express
people ARE hurrylng officers and blood
hounds to the scene.

New York, Dec. 3l.--The question OF
labor organizations meeting in halls
where non-union beer Is sold. came up
again before a meeting OF the Central
Labor union. After some discussion
Delegate Perrin OF the iron workers
union offered 4 resolution compelling all
unions connected with the Central
Labor union to find meeting places
Within three months where no intoxi-
eating liquors are sold.
II listened TO David Holmes or Eng.
land q few weeks ago IN Cooper Union"
said Mr.. Perrin, and 1 took to heart
what he said about the necessity for
our unions having fun treasures. I
believe that the reason that the labor
organizations in this country ace raor
is because their members spend thtir
money in saloons"
II don't believe the Central labor
union has the power to adopt such a
resolution" said Secretary John S.

Superintendent Duffield of tho coast
and geodetic survey declares that people
may possess their souls In peace as to the
Alaskan boundary. This does not allay
all apprehension, however. England has
usually gained something by her policy OF
claiming everything. Yet what Mr..
Duffield has to say upon the subject is
interesting and somewhat assuring. He
says the commissioners acting on behalf
of this country and Great Britain, will
have no voice In the final determination
of the dispute, as it will be settled by the
high officials Of the foreign affairs offices
of the two countries. General Duffield
also says that practically all the gold in
the district lies IN American territory as
determined by the work OF the surveyors.
He furthermore thinks the prospects are
good for the United States holding Chilli
cot Pass, the possession of which is
regarded as of Importance, rs it is the
gateway to much of the interior coun try
OF the Northwest.

Colleges Should Make 0ptimists.
Chicago Times-Herald. }

In an address before the professors and
, graduate students of the Chicago Univer-
sity on Monday night Keir Hardie, the
| English socialistic agitator, said among
other things that the man who is most
successful in business of today must of
necessity be shrewd and constituencies
and tramp the masses under foot.
This is most perpicious doctrine to be
preaching between the walls OF o great
college. The utterauce of such sentiments
before college students is calculated TO
excite amazement among people who are
disposed to think that the visionary Har>
die may be taken seriously.
OF course Mr.. Bardie's vaporings are
promptly discredited by the intelligent
portion Of our citizenship and by those
who have seen enough of life and its
practical side to understand the utter i'm
practcability of the theories promulgated.
But the plastic mind Of the student
eager to taste the mental exhilaration of
new and novel theories, readily absorbs
such fallacies, and much harm is done
thereby -a
The truth is that the curriculi of the
various colleges should be permeated with
the healthy spirit of optimism The pro
fessors should be men whose minds are
trained to see more good than bad in
life and who do not suffer any private or
personal predictions to allow them to
Undue the student mind with theories
that are subversive of the generally
accepted and established principles Of com
mon ethics upon which our social fabric
is built.
1t is not the business Of colleges to
make doubters or skeptics. There are too
many Kier Hardies in the colleges who
are daily preaching the dogmas of pcssi-
mism. They seem to regard it as an
evidence of deep and unfathomable
scholarship to try to shake the founda-
tions from under the best social and polit-
ical superstructure that has ever been
buiIded in any land Instead of speaking
to the young men of America the message
of IA radiant optimism they are turning
out classes of doleful pesslmists who have
been trained to distrust every man who
has by industry and frugality accumu-
lated more of this worlds goods than
some other man. No wonder so many of
the college graduates are socialists, inf
dels and free traders.
The tendency to weed out the negative,
pessimistic theorists and supplnnt them
with professors of positive mold, who be-
| lieve in something and vino survey the
social and political world with the glow
| ing faith of cheerful and abiding
optimism is one of the hopeful signs of
| the times.

They now propose to retire the greenbacks
by the issue Of bonds This would bur
den the government with the enormous
interest on $345 000,0 600 of bonds. The
government would then go out Of the
banking business. Our national bank
note currency wonid inevitably be de
stroyed. The greatest danger however,
connected with this proposition is that
the government would be Immediately
threatened with an exclusively silver
standard. Under such process it is

Sherman on Carlisle.
New York Mail and EXpress. J


Senator sherman, in an effective and
thrilling speech delivered at Masilion,
Ohio. Saturday night, severely CRITICS ed
President Cleveland and Secretary Car
Isle on their attitude toward the national
currency. The senator says that these
two Democratic officials are entirely at
sea In demanding the retirement of our
United States notes In this connection,
the senator said: For fourteen years we
have been able to maintain in full and
active circulation s345, 00o. 0U0 OF these
notes at par with gold, by maintaining n
reserve in the treasury of 500, 000 600 Of
gold. Thus, with the loss Of the interest
on this gold, we have saved the interest on
S345. coo, 900 of the public debt, and be
sides have secured TO our people the best
form of paper money ever devised Of uoi-
versal credit in the commercial world. -
This is perfectly clear and convincing
No objection would have been made by
the present administration to our national
currency system if 1t had not run the
government in debt and fraudulently
diverted the gold reserve from its original
and only legal purpose. Instead of issu-
ing bonds for the payment of deficiencies.
it has issued bonds to keep up the reserve
which 1t has repeatedly depleted for the
payment of current expenses. BY reduc-
ing the reserve Cleveland and Carlisle
have shaken confidence IL our credit.
both at home and abroad. As bonds had
to be issued anyway, they should have
been issued directly for the payment of
deficiencies instead of keeping up the
reserve. Even under the conditions that
have existed. the reserve could have bean
maintained and saved from dishonest in
vasiop, and the same result arrived at as
has been secured By the issue OF bonds.
The only difference would have been that
the bonds issued would have had for
their purpose the making good Of de
ficiency in revenue rather than deficiency
in the reverse. The one would have been
legitimate, the other has been essentially
dishonest.
In order TO hide their confusion and
justify their irregularities. they now SEEK
to place the blame for currency compiled
lions upon our national currency system.

An Ugly Outlook.
IN. Y. preSs.l

A well made statement of the Nenezue-
Ian claims in the boundary-line dispute
is found in another column. 1t is partic-
ularly valuable in recalling the fact that
Lord Aberdeen ordered In 1912 the de-
s5ruction of the monuments of the
Schomburgk boundary. and that even be-
fore that this line had been disavowed by
the governor Of British Guiana. It is. OF
course, an accepted fact that the Schom-
burgk line is the only one Of the many
British delimitations which has or had
the slightest color of legality 70 back it
We wish that we could print in par
allel column q statement Of the British
claims, but unfortunately no coherent
one has ever been made. The ugliest
thing about this business is that no organ
Of British thought makes the slightest
pretense of stating tenable ground for
British aggression. No attempt is made
to conceal the fact that the policy of the
foreign office is dictated by the emergen-
cies, in their search for gold, of a pack Of
prospectors. And Lord Saiisbury's de-
mand for indemnity for the arrest of a
policeman is, we feel compelled to say, a
mere effort to becloUd the issue by con
fusing definite territorial rights Of a
British province with the indefinite per-
soDal rights of British subject. The
whole business has, and we regret TO say
1t, distinctly ianoble appearance.
We are furthsst from desire to pluck
up drowned honor from the mouth Of the
Orinoco, bnt it looks as If the article of
the Monroe doctrine which relates to the
depressing" of the South American
states were about to be challenged, if 1t
has not been challenged already, in the
very letter.
