UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION.

There ia now in session at the city Of
Washington a body Of men representing
most Of the nations Of the world. This
is the first meeting Of the Universal
Postal Union held in the United States.
The object of the body is to facilitate
postal communication among the people
Of the different countries of the world.
The first meeting Of this character was
held for conference in Paris Rtrequest of
President Lincoln's Postmaster General,
Montgomery Blair, in 1868; and as the
New York San reminds the country, this
was only one Of the important departures
that signalized the Administration of
Lincoln, for in his time the first efforts
to introduce the money order system,
the carrier service and the railway mail
were made successfully.
The general Postal Union was formed
at Berne, Switzerland, in 1874, when the
United States, the countries Of Europe
with the exception Of France, of Asiatic
Turkey, and Cuba were represented. 1t
was not until the third meeting, which
was held at Lisbon in 1884, that most Of
the nations were represented. The
fourth meeting was at Vienna in 1901,
All Of the civilized countries Of the world
were represented except the British
South African colonies, the interior
States Of South Africa, and the Austria
lasian colonies; but these last soon
joined the union, and now it appears that
fifty-fve different governments are rep
resented at this, the fifth quinquennial
meeting of the Universal Postal Union
AS the postal service has led in com.
merce in this country, so will it open the
way to better, closer and in every way
more profitable intercourse among the
nations. A universal postal currency
will be followed by commercial cur
rency good anywhere in the world, and
then we shall have a worlds monetary
system.

Committee Of the Senate to report in
favor Of his place. Senator Frye Of
Maine occupied two days speaking in
support of the report, and when he saw
defeat ahead Of him, he proposed q COM
promise on the report Of new board Of
engineers to be appointed-that the
money appropriated should 60 to which
ever Of the two places the new board
should favor.
The new board was appointed, it made
the necessary examinations and reported
in favor of San Pedro as it's two prede
cessors had done. And now Secretary
Of War Alger refuses to direct the work
to proceed. His attention has been
called to the matter several times by
Senator White, and he makes one excuse
or another and finally assumes the posi-
tion Of Senator Frye-that the engineers
don't know anything about the matter
and he does.
II the ADVOCATE were to guess the
Secretary's real reason for refusing to
order the work begun at San Pedro, we
should guess that he wants to accommo-
date Mr.. G. P. Huntington.

WHY THE GOLD ExPORT2

Matthew Marshall, a we'll informed
financial writer, tells the readers Of the
New York Sun what he thinks is the
reason for the present expectation Of
gold from the United States. He says
"The export of gold is an unfavorable
symptom, rather because it indicates an
absence of that activity in general bust
ness which so many deplore than for any
other reason. This country produces
gold, just as it produces wheat and cot
ton, and it consumes in the arts and in
manufacturing less than half it's prod
uct. It's needs for additional coinage
have, Of late, been small, SO that it has
had annually s2O0OoY0O0 at least to spare
for export. Moreover, last year it's net

SECRETARY ALGER AND THE SAN PEDRO
HARBOR.

In the river and harbor bill passed at
the first session Of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress provision was inserted appropri-
ating money for the improvement of the
harbor at San Pedro on the coast Of Cal
ifornia.
@. P. Huntington and the friends of
his project on the Senate Committee in
sisted on making the appropriation apply
to Santa Monica and not to San Pedro.
Mr.. Huntington's Southern Pacific Rail-
road touches the ocean at Santa Monica
and he wants the Government to make
harbor for him there. Itrequired sew
eral days Of hard work by Senator White
Of California, assisted by Gear of Iowa
and PETER Of Kansas, to defeat the
scheme.
This matter has a peculiar and inter
esting history. Mr.. Huntington is q
fighter, and Notwithstanding two boards
Of engineers had reported in favor of San
Pedro and against Santa Monica, he
managed TO got the River and Hsrbor

imports Of gold we're s6O,OOO,OOO. Thus
the Treasury and the banks are oversup-
piled with the metal, and can furnish it
more cheaply and easily than it can be
obtained elsewhere. That under these
conditions it should go abroad should
not excite surprise"
AS to the immediate cause, he attrib-
utes that to the demand Of Japan, Russia
aud Austria. Russia and Austria have
been collecting and boarding gold some
time, and Japan has established per-
manent gold basis, and besides is build
ing navy.

House Of Commons that the food supply
Of Great Britain rarely exceeds an

CLEMENCY IN THE CHAPLAIN CAsE.


A few days ago news came from Wash
ington to the effect that the friends Of
Broker Chapman Of New York, who is
under sentence for refusing to testify
before the Senate sugar investigating
committee, are preparing to bring great
pressure to bear upon TIE President to
induce him to exercise Clemency, and in
this they are having the active co-Opera-
tion Of the friends of Messrs Havemeyer
and Searles. All Of the financial and
commercial msgnates of Wall street who
can be reached through the various busi-
ness affiliations of these two have been
requested to use what influence they
have with the Administration to secure
a pardon for Chapman. II they succeed
the pending cases against Havemeyer
and Searles will be nOIZe pressed. II
they fail, nothing can prevent these two
men from eventually serving from one to
twelve months in the Jail Of the District
Of Columbia.
There is nothing either unusual or
unnatural in the course outlined in the
dispatch, for it is a common custom,
when people are caught in the meshes of
the law, that their friends intercede for
them.
The ground upon which clemency is
asked is, that his case was test of the
law authorizing the Senate or House to
compel witness to answer questions.
The law was passed in 1857, but no deci-
sion had been rendered on it until that
by the Supreme Court a few weeks ago.
1t is urged that, as there had been grave
doubts as to the validity and constitu-
tionRlity of the law, the first case to be
decided under it Is proper one for the
exercise Of executive clemency. The
application will also point out that there
is no charge Of moral turpitude against
Chapman and that the ends Of justice
will be served in permitting him to 20
free, while the fact Of his conviction will
stand as warning to future witnesses.
There ought to be no mRudlin senti-
mentality in this case, If the doctrine
he maintains be the correct one, any
may be- corrupted with inn
punity, A Senator or Congressman may
have an agent on the stock exchange, he
shapes legislation while his agent manip-
ulates the stock, and there is no remedy,
because the agent cannot be compelled
to testify.
The pardon of Chapman by President
will cost the Republican party
half million votes in the next National

A MEMBER Of the Massachusetts, Leg
islature proposes to prohibit newspapers
from publishing eulogies Of individual
persons. He says more harm comes to
the people from these fulaome newspaper
articles in favor of public characters
than from all the rnfavorable things said
about them. Whether this man is right
or wrong, it is true that great deal of
lying is done in honor OF distinguished

THE quantity Of coal used for fuel is
large almost beyond comprehension. In
a hundred years the coal used in Great
Britain has increased from 6115 million
tons year to 21O million tons. 1t is be-
lieved that at this rate Of increase an
other hundred years will exhaust the
coal supply Of that country.

GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE.


early history Of the New England States,
and the theory is still retained there,
though the changes coming with in
creasing population, division Of employ
ment and expansion of trade, have so
modified the old customs Of the people
that they have become practically obso-
lete in some localities.
However, the town meeting is not
wholly forgotten. 1t is called regularly
every year in many towns, and the
business of the town (or township, as we
would say in the Vest is transacted by
the people themselves. Senator Chan
dler, in an article in the NeaO England
Magazine recently, when discussing the
subject Of city government, referred to
the old town meeting and mentioned one
case in particular. "If it is painful to be
impressed with the failure Of Americans
to govern their large cities well, " he said,
"it is with relief that we turn to the ex-
ample Of about six square miles Of area
in the very heart Of great metropolitan
city district in America, which area rep
resents larger proportion of homes for
all classes, superior schools and public
library, better roads, better water and
sewers, and more efficient and honorable
management than is found elsewhere,
with consequent accumulation Of tax
able property exceeding that Of any
other municipality in the world Of the
same population"
The six square miles referred to is the
town Of BrookIine, in Massachusetts,
having population of about $4,000. It
is part Of the county Of Norfolk and is in
the metropolitan district of Boston. It's
people have repeatedly rejected proposals
to become incorporated with Boston.
Mr., Eltweed Pomeroy, who has personal
knowledge Of the facts, says in very
interesting communication to the press
that a population Of nearly million is
now found within radius of ten miles
from the town hall of Brookline. It is
surrounded chiefly by Boston and New
ton, but is not part Of either Of them.
1t is "town within city" The social
and political conditions there are the
same as they are in Boston, but the peo-
pie govern themselves. Any voter is
privileged to take part in the town meet
ings. Any ten voters Of the town "can
secure the insertion Of any proposition in
the warrant for calling the town meet
ing, where it will be discussed and voted
on" Every dollar of appropriations for
carrying on the public work of the town
is voted by the people themselves,
The disbursements OF Brookline last
year amounted to 81, ,795,53O. The rev.
enues we're little less-$1, 1885, PIT, and
these figures, as Mr.. Pomeroy tells us,
are "nearly three times the receipts and

shire. The appropriations asked for in
the last warrant for the town meeting
amount to 1928, ,252, and that was voted
on by the people directly. The number
of voters in the town number about 1000.
Though the business OF Brookline has
increased two hundred fold in hundred
years, the records show that the number

ious, for some husbands do this until
they are quite done. Add a little
sweetness in the form or KISSES but

them, but it must be used with good
Judgment. Do not stick sharp instru-
ments into him to find out if he is be-
coming tender. Stir him gently,

useless. lou can not fail to find out
