Men.
From the New York Sun.
The mails are now loaded with the cir
culars OF merchants soliciting customers
for their wares as appropriate for holiday
gifts. AS these include articles of both
luxury and necessity generally, and as
millions of dollars will be spent in their
purchase between now and Monday night.
all enterprising dealers are seeking by lib
eral advertising to get the advantage of
this harvest time for trade; but why are
so many of them disspating SO much of
the money they are expanding for this
purpose in annoying the people with cir
culars sent through the post office at
great cost for postage?
These circulars come along with multi
tude of others begging for charitable con-
tributions, SO that of the two the chief part
Of every mars mail is made up. AS soon
as their character is discovered they are.
as matter of course, tossed into the
waste basket unread. Their sending is re-
sented as an impertinent intrusion, like
the visit of an importunate peddler. Usu-
ally, therefore, they do more harm than
good to the dealers who spend so much
money in getting them up and paying their
way through the post office.
The only circulars offering articles for
sale which justify the expenditure on them,
and which can be sent out with no dan
ger VI IcScutIileLl SSdtHSl lut-Iu
nuisance, are the few which contain
special information, specially desired by
the people who receive them. Articles Of
which there is no general supply may safe
ly be advertised in this way, 10 a particu-
his profession to collectors; but to
trouble a man with circulars soliciting
the purchase OF merchandise on general
sale in the trade, is to force on his atten-
ton matters which concern the SenGer's
interest only, and consequently to be guilty
of bad manners. 1t is poor business policy.
The proper place for such advertisements
is in newspaper, one OF whose most i'm
portant functions is that of business di-
rectory. 1t enables the merchant to keep
before the public his name. his place of
business, and his wares. without causing
them annoyance. As q part of the news
of the day, he announces to the people gem
orally the articles he has TO SELL their
prices, and where they are on sale. He
does not ring the door bells of peoples
houses to thrust in unsoueht and unde-
sired circulars soliciting buyers for his
customary business directory. which is a
newspaper. There they are in their ap-
propriate place, and are respected accord
ingly.
This is a great opportunity enjoyed by
trade because of the development of the
modern newspaper. 1t brings the mer-
chant and his business before the whole
public and gives to both the consequent
distinction. The circumstance that the
trade of houses which advertise the most
largely and persistently in the newspapers
are interested in such announcements when
they are put in the vehicle to which
ciety now naturally looks for the Informal
ton.

Indian institutes.

The question of holding Institutes in the
west for the benefit of teachers and others
in the Indian service is now under con-
sideration at the Indian bureau. There
were five of these meetings held last year,
but this year the number will be reduced
at least to three, which will be held during
the latter part of July and early in August,
probably in South Dakota, in Oklahoma
and in Oregon or Washington. The insti-

of great benefit to the Indian schools. but
the lack of funds for the purpose may re-

SatOlli.

The pope's oncyclical which has just been
received In this country was given out to
the press today from the office of Mgr.
Satolli. In speaking of the establishment
of the legation in this country the pope
says that the ultimate aim is to strength
en- the institutions of the church and the
better fortify her discipline.
As to Catholics entering societies of
working men. the pope urges the faithful
to shun not only those associations which
have been openly condemned by the judg-
ment of the church, but those also in
which the opinion of intelligent men, and
especially of the bishops. are regarded as
suspicious and dangerous.

The treasury gold balance suffered anoth-

an additional $4,OOO,0U of that metal
from the New York subtreasury for export.
This reduces the balance to about so3,OO0,-

Treasury officials are hopeful that the

on the money market, especially on the
rates of exchange, and that the heavy out
put of gold may be checked. AS an evil
