UNEASlNESS AT THE VATICAN.
Caused by American Politics and Will
Continue Until AFTER Election.

Caused by American Politics and Will
Continue Until AFTER Election.
London, Eng, Oct. 27.-The Pail
Mall Gazette, this afternoon, publishes
dispatch from Rome, which says:
1.-The Presidential election lin the
United States) is the absorbing topic
at the Vatican, the explanation being
the strides which Catholicism has
made in America, which is now one
of the church's largest sources OF in
come. 1t is recognized that the stand
ing danger to Romanism in the United
States is the independence of the
American bishops, noticeable since the
time Of Plus TX. He fully admitted
that these bishops enjoyed greater
power than their brethren elsewhere,
and he showed that he understood this
b. his witty answer to some English
priests who asked for certain privi-
leges. He said am, as you say, Pope;
yet 1 cannot accept your request,
but he added, with slight twinkle
in his eye, / can show you way to
obtain your desire. Go to America,
for there the bishops are greater than
tho Popes.
ION the accession of Pope Leo mat
tiers assumed different aspect. He
charged Mgr. Satolli with the duty Of
intmating TO the bishops in unmis-
taxable language the limits Of their
powers, and the result was something
like split which it took Mgr. SatoIli
two years to heal. But his mission had
good results. ~
Continuing, the correspondent Of the
Pail Mall Gazette remarks that the
Vatican does not desire irs representa-
tives in America to take an active part
in the campaign, fearing new division
10 the ranks and experimenting at the
same time that some of the more i'm
petuous bishops might break out. He
adds that this feeling Of uneasiness at
the Vatican will not disappear until
| after election.

ONE MISSION OF OUR COLLEGES.

One feature of che exercises at the
Princeton sesquicentennial celebration,
Thursday, was an address by President
Cleveland, in the course OF which he
said:
I'm nation like ours, charged with
the care ofinumerous and widely varied
interests, a spirit of conservatism and
liberation is absolutely essential A
oollegiats training, the study OF princi-
pies unvexed by distracting and mis-
leading influences and correct appre-
hension of the theories upon which our
republic is established ought to consti-
tute the college graduate constant
monitor, warning against popular rash
ness and excess. The character OF our.
institutions and our national self
interest require that feeling Of sincere
brotherhood and disposition to unite
in mutual endeavor should peryade our
people. Our scheme OF government in
its beginning was based upon this
sentiment and its interruption has
never failed and can never fail to
grievoualy menace our national health.
| Who can better caution against passion
and bitterness than those who know by
| thought and study their baneful conse-
| quences, and who are themselves within
the noble brotherhood of higher educa-
| ton?
There are natural laws and economic
truths which command implicit obedi-
epce and which should unalterably fix
| the bonds of wholesome popular dis
cussion and the limits of political strife.
| The knowledge gained in our uniyer-
sites and colleges would be sadly de
ficient if its benetciaries were unable
to recognize and point out to their
fellow citizens these truths and natural
laws, and to reach the mischievous
futility Of their non observance or at.
tempted violation. The activity of our
people and thoir restless desire to gather
to themselves especial benefits and ad.
vantsges lead to the growth of ian un'
confessed tendency to regard their
government as the giver of private gifts
and to look upon the agencies for itE
administration as the distributors oi
official places and preferment. Those
who in university or college have had nc
opportunity to study the mission OF oui
institutions and who in the light OF his.
tory have learned the danger TO a peopl,
OF their neglect of the patriotic care thel
owe the national life entrusted to theii
keeping, should be well fitted to con
stantly admonish their fellow citiZen
that the usefulness and leneficence o
their plan of government can only b.
preserved through their unselfish ant
loving support, and their contentet
Willingness 70 accept in full return tn
peace, protection and opportunity whicl
; it impartially bestows.
Coming at this time, in the closin
period of fierce political campaig
these remarks by President Clevelan
are peculiarly appropriate. They shout
prove sound lesson not only to coleg
students, but to those who are actiy
participants in tho stirring events no.

The story Of an Alleged Shoe Leather Tru'
Denied by One of the Firms Named.


Denied by One of the Firms Named.
+. Blumenthal & Co, leather mer.
chants, of No. 1913 William street,
issued this statement Monday after
noon:
''The article appearing in this morn
ing's issue of the New York Journal
under the heading "Huge Trust in the
Shoe Leather Trade, !" is as far as we
know, made out of the whole cloth.
The statement appearing in the article
that we had signed a trust agreement,
which was 10 be null and void in case
of the election Of William Jennings
Bryan to the Presidency in the forth
coming election, is absolutely false.
We have signed no agreement with any
manufacturers of leather of any kind
whatever. We have not entered into
any agreement of any kind for con-
solicitation of our business with that OF
any other leather manufacturers in any
shape or form.
Furthermore, the intimation that
Mr.. Blumenthal is in Europe to meet
MIR. Dennis regarding his patents and
| joining the alleged trust is likewise
equally untrue, as Mr.. Blumentha
does not know Mr.. Dennis and in all
probability has never seen him, and il

CHARGES FLATLY DENIED.
A Positive Statement by the Foremeh EN-

A Positive Statement by the Foremeh EN-
ployed by II. E;iumenthai a. Co.
In view of many rumors, we, the
undersigned, fOremen representing the
different departments of the +. Blumen-
thai e. Co. works, beg to say, that the
allegations Of John Coligan that there
AS been in his, or any other case, an
attempt to coerce the employees in the
matter of voting at the coming national
election, is absolutely and unqualifiedly
false, and in fact there are some out
spoken Bryan voters among the en-
ployes, one of whom lately presided at
Democratic meeting in the Third
ward.
At the meeting Of the employees at
which Mr.. Patzowsky spoke, he dis
tinctly stated that his idea was not to
dictate to any of the men, but only to
chow them, from his standpoint, what
effect the election of Mr.. Bryan would
have on the leather business.
Mr.. PatZowsky being Republican,,
is naturally interested in the election
of Messrs. Mckinley and Hobart; how
ever, we will say that he has never
allowed his enthusiasm TO overcome
his better judgment and interfere with
our personal views.
We feel justified in bringing before
the public the fact that from the first
day Mr.. Patzowsky took charge of the
works, we have always found him tc
be honest and impartial in the treat
ment of his employees, to which fact il
due his great success as leather
manufacturer. Frank Weber, NJ. Blu

The following is the opinion of 7. V.
Powderly, ex-president of the knights
of Labor on the money question:
when labor was scarce and wages
high in England in the 10th century,
perseyering efforts were made to Cypress
the working classes but laws could
not reduce the wages of labor; the
king, backed by Parliament, the no.
Eility, tho army, all the power
lodged in crown and scepter, could not
do it, but debased Laoney did it.
1t made miserable slaves of men,
women and children. DO tho working
men wish to call down upon themselves
and their families all this suffering by
voting in tho interest of the owners oil
fow silver mines?"

EFFECTS OF A pEBAStp CURRENCY.


Somo of Candidate Bryan's peculiar
ideas about debased currency are con-
sidered in the last weekly letter OF
Hambleton & Co. Of Baltimore. bankers.
1t says: t
" His whole policy is repuisive and.
according to his own confession, bic
chief and main OBJ ect is to debase the
currency and lessen the purchasing
power OF the dollar
Over and over again has he an
nounced that our present dollar buys
too much and promises IL he is elected
he will see TO II that the money which
the laborer receives for his daily toll
shall not buy as much as it now does.
The only hope which he holds out is
that to make up for the loss in pur-
chasing power OF the dollar he will in
augurate financial policy which will
create more dollars and that as there
will be more dollars in circulation they
will be easier to obtain.
All history and experience teaches us
that the number OF dollars in circula-
tion does not add to the prosperity OF
the nation, or contribute to the welfare
of the people. If Mr.. Bryan's finan-
cial theory il correct we would all be
happy il the government printed one
thousand million dollars and gave them
away to every applicant.
We Of the South had some experience
in what plenty Of money meant, when
a pair of boots cost $500. Mr.. Bryan
was a baby then, but we children OF
an older growth, even il We had never
read history or heard of our Continental
money from which arose the inelegant
but expressive saying of mot worth a
continental d--n"), or OF French
assignat, are not ambitious to try a
currency system based upon Mr..
Bryan's declaration that the value OF
the dollars depends upon the number
of dollars. We prefer quality to guam
tity when il comes TO money. If the
quality of our medium of exchange and
measure of value is all right, the
quantity will take care of itself.
Mr.. Bryan says more money per
capita will make higher wages. His
tory and experience say no, France TO.
day has S36 per capita, to about s2i
here, and yet wages in France are
about half what they are here. -
Certainly, there would he very littl'
difference between currency of de
preciared silver dollars and one o
practically worthless paper. Only thu
coin value Of tine silver, and that i
now about fifty cents on the dollar
The probabilities are that under fire.
silver coinage it would be much less.

Nogales, Ariz., Oct. 27. "A bullfight
with fatal results occurred at Nogales,
Sonora, yesterday anu for short time
there was panic.
Ono of the bulls, becoming more
enraged than usual at the rather tame
fighting, rushed about the arena, goring
everything within its reach. A horse
was disemboweled and matadore,
Jose Angulo, in an attempt to place a
thorn in tbs side of tina wild animal,
was caught on its long horns, which
pierced him like a sword. The man
was tossed and fell to the ground bleed

him between its horns and bit and
paved him. He was fiightfully injured
and died few minutes later.

the 1OnsELEF H.iLL aFIRE.
Arrived on Staten Island Monday With
Her Cargo in Flames.


New York, Oct. 26. The British
steamer Worseley Hall, Capt. Cameron,
put into this port. this morning With
New Orleans for ilavre and started on
the voyage October 10th.
When the steamer was $50 miles east
by south OF Sandy Hook, during a
strong southerly wind, last Friday,
smoke was seen issuing from the Venti.
lators under the bridge, and exam ma
tion showed that the cotton slowed in
the forward hold, which constituted
the major portion Of the cargo, was on
fire. Tho ship was at once put before
the wind, 10 order to lessen the draft,
and the hatch vac lifted. The smoke
was almost oyerpowering, but the
Singalez sailors, impeled by fears of
the ship being consumed and en-
couraged by the example of the Off.
cera, set msnfully TO work and managed
to hoist 20 bales OF cotton and pile
them on the deck. The ship was roll.
ing with the heavy cross sea that was
running and soon huge wave broke
over the side and washed the bales
overheard. Az the work of taking out
the cargo seemed loo hazardous in the
face of the high sea Capt. Cameron
decided to flood the hold. Tho matches
were battened down. hose was intro
duced into the hold and the fire pumps
we're started. The. water coming in
contact with the fire produced steam,
which. added to the smoke and sicken.
| ing odor OF the burning cotton, poured
| into the cabin and drove all hands or
deck. When the matches were batteneG
down the ship was headed for New
York. As the water poured into the
hold tho ship sank down by the heat
and took decided list to starboard
so as to impede the ships progress
considerably. The decks grew warn
with the fire, but not unbearably so
1t was found necessary to batten the
cabin doors, as the steam and smok,
were sitting and it was impossible Il
entor them.
When the Worseley Hall arrived a
Quarantine all hands were worn GU
with WORK and anxiety.
