out of order, used it to shut off the light.
He was discovered the next morning by

THIS DIOCESE DIVIDED
Bishops Concur in Resolutions
Adopted By the House.
A mother Day Passed by the Episcopal
Convention in Considering the Re-
vision of the Constit ution.

Minneapolis Mimi, Oct. SIT as with
somewhat OF relief that the Episcopal
house of deputies of the general couven-
ton suspended its session of the revised
constitution for awhile today to take
up few crumbs of still another revision
of the revision that had fallen from the
bishops table.
The fathers of the church themselves,
probably not anxious to be forestalled,
or unwilling to allow the lower house to
get very far into its work without their
own views and ideas, foreign to the out
side world had been doing little re-
vising on their own account for a couple
of days, and the results were apparent
in the messages presented with couruy
dignity by Secretary Hart.
The bishops preferred the term general
convention" to synod" and the term
assistant bishop to bishop .coadjutor.
both suggestions being In a line with
those already approved by the house. They
also favored the title of ''primate'' for the
new presiding Officer, recommended that
retired bishops be given seat in the house
and proposed a new title to the constitution.
Such Of the various amendments as the
house had not already approved, provoked
q debate that covered two sessions, but the
bishops had their way right through and
only the arrival of the hour for adjournment
prevented the adding of the word 'primate"
to the minutes of the day.
Just before the delegates dispersed, the
house of bishops announced concurrence
in the resolutions dividing the dioceses of
California, Maryland and Kentucky.

BEATEN AS MEYER BEFORE
Indianapolis Republicans Showed
Under by 1000 Majority.
Results of Previous Years Reversed.
Change of Sixty-five Hundred
Votes In One Year.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. S.-The Republ-
cans of Indianapolis suffered the heaviest
defeat in the history of the city, in the
municipal election to-day. Fairly com
plete returns at 10 O'Clock show that
Thomas Taggart, Democrat, is elected
mayor by about 1000 plurality and the
rest the Democratic ticketbyabou 200.
Two years ago the Republicans carried
the city by 3,100, and last year the city
went Republican by 2,479 on the State
ticket. This change of 6 800 in the result
is accounted for by 1000 stay-at-home
Republicans and from /, 200 to 800
Republicans voting the Democratic ticket
The main causes attributed by the Re-
publicans are that the present administra-
ton has aroused enmity by its rigid en-
forcement of the liquor laws, assisted by
the vigorous Nicholson temperance law
passed at the last legislature; dissatisfac-
ton with the street improvement policy; the
personal unpopularity of the candidate and
the fact that he did not vote for Harrison
in 1892. The loss from this last cause is
measured by the thousand votes he ran be-
hind the ticket.
Gen. Harrison voted at 10 O'Clock this
morning. Walking from his house tu his
precinct polling place he shook hands with
three or four acquaintances about the poll
ing place and was in the booth just long
enough to stamp a straight ticket Two
weeks ago in an interview he advised all
Republicans TO support the ticket.

Free Silver Prosperity.
Tribune.

Senator Teller, one of the most persis-
tent advocates of free silver, has a letter
in the Devils Lake Inter Ocean tSenator
Hansbrough's paper giving the result of
his observations in Mexico in 1898. He
says he went there for the purpose of OBJ
tanning correct and practical information
as TO the effect OF the free silver policy of
that country. The following admission
made by the senator is significant. He
says:
THE laborer receives substantially the
same ages he did twenty years ago, and
is paid In the same kind of money that he
was then paid-that is, silver dollars"
AS Mexican silver dollars have depreci-
ated IN twenty years from more than par
to about IS cents apiece, wages, according
to Senator Teller. have deprecated more
than 80 per cent.
An extract from letter written by
man who is large employer of labor on
the Mexican border confirms Senator Tel
ler's admission. II have always" he
writes, been in favor of gold money, but
silver will cut the item of labor in about
one-half. and is. therefore. to the en-
ployer's interest. have seen the Mexi-
can silver dollars shrink in value from 50
cents to As cents. while the laborers get
about 35 cents day. The use Of silver in
the United States would cut wages In
half and, with cheap labor, our manu-
facturers could beat the world"
The heartlessness of the proposition to
adopt free silver coinage because it will
cut the wages of American working men in
two and enable American manufacturers
to undersell the world, is perhaps not TO
be wondered at, coming from an employer
of labor. There is no pretense Of hypoc-
risy about ii. 1t is a hard business propo-
sition. But what shall we say of men like
Teller Stewart, Hansbrough and Harvey,
who demand free coinage ostensibly in the
interests OF the working man, when one
of them admits, as the result of his OBJ
servations IN Mexico, that the practical
effect is to cut down wages? 1t Is hypoc-
risy or mental blindness, or is it that In
their zeal TO serve the interests of the
silver mine owners they have lost sight
Of the interests of the masses OF the peo-
pie? However this may be, the cruelty
to the working men cannot be denied.
