his name as Edward Morris. twelve
years old. who claims that his home is
at 14lG Avenue d. Birmingham. Ala,
landed in this city from Roanoke. He
had scarcely arrived before he COM
menced business. He pawned pair of
SO cent glasses and then offered the
glasses for sale for 81. He was arrested
by the High Constable, but before he
would surrender he demanded his au-
thorlty, and when shown he readily
surrendered. In the Mayors Court ne
said he had travelled all over the United
States, had been on the road for four
years selling spectacles and soap. He
was unusually bright, and was we'll post
ed in regard to the laws of cities, &c
Said that he was broke, but inside Of
two hours would have money enough
TO buy license and board If he was given
half q chance. The straightforward, in
tsliisent answers he gave to all ques-
tiora completely won the admiration of
all who heard him. He is well calculated
TO make mark in this world IL push
and shove will do 1t. He told His Honor
that he had a brother eight years old
who was also on the road, and that they
supported their mother, and IL he doubt
ed what he said, to telegraph the au-
tho"ities at Birmingham, who would
corroDorate his statement. He was dis
charged, and left all smiles

London. November 1.-The Vienna cor
respondent Of the riurs says;
Professor Sues, the greatest of Euro
pean authorities ON currency questions.
writes letter to the Nucs Wiener Tage-
hIatt entitled ~ Word Of Warning to Eu-
ropes Diplomacy"
Professor Sues agrees with the English
Bime,allic league that McKinieys election
involves triumph Tor international BIZ
metnllism over National bimetallisn. but
he regards MIR Bryau's defeat as fortunate
for Tie United States and for the inter
course of the world In general Free silver.
he thinks. would have driven all gold out
Of America and the Introduction OF an OK
ciuNvcly silver currency IN the United
states would have boon inevitable for an
Indefinite period This would have divided
the world into two camps, one the great
silyor nold, comprang the whole OF Ameri-
"a and the whole Of Asia, and the other tho
gold area Including Europe. portions OF
Africa and Australia.
Professor Sues says that II is pucrile to
consider such questions In the light oil
gains aud losses of mine owners, and that
It IL equally pucrlle 10 consider that tho
either for America or for the rest OF tho
world Recent events on the contrary, he
thinks, have proved the existence OF gem
cra feeling that the Injustice by which
creditors bo,cht and which proceeds from
the existing condition OF the coin. is even
assuming larger proportions.
The bimetallc movement in Europe Is
extending, and gold coinage has twice
brought us In recent years to the verge or
n universal crisis. First. seven years ago.
when the gold production was stagnant
until tho discovery OF the South African
gold fields. and the second, the Bryan agi-
tation.
The Times says with reference to tho
assertion OF Professor Sues. the Austrian
expert:
professor Suezs' presumption about the
Injustice of the maintenance OF the gold
standard have been already refuted many
times"
