THE ENGLISH ARE LEARNING.

Americans are always being told of the
superiority of the English postal service
over their own, but they may take such
statements with reservations. In the great
city of London no mail is collected from the
boxes between o'clock Saturday night and
the early hours of Monday. Oddly enough,
this suspension of the service does not exist
in other cities of England, letters posted in
those places, with an extra fee," going on
their way at once, and during Sunday, while
Lcndon's own mail is lying in the boxes,
that from other places is being distributed
in the London office for the continental and
other mails. The London Daily Mail calls
attention to this peculiar condition Of
things and urges a reform, though the chief
grievance seems to be not that the delay in
getting local letters out on Sunday exists,
but that the people of other towns fare bet
ter than Londoners. Can any American i'm
agine the city of New York not having it's
letters collected on Sunday, or a town OF
any size in this country where only special
delivery mail was handled on Sunday?
That such an astonishing state of affairs
exists only emphasizes anew the slowness
of the Englishman and his disposition to
leave old customs unchanged. He is get
ting awake, though, to some of the abuses
he has long submitted to, and, besides the
lack of Sunday mails, is beginning to de-
mand that the train guards, or as we know
them, conductors and brakemen, shall not
lock passengers into the carriages so that
in an emergency they cannot get out. An
inquiry is now being made by committee
of the London Board of Trade into the ques-
ton of communication between passengers
and the guard, and various experiments are
proposed to test the possibilities. Ameri-
cans would solve the problem In short or
der, or rather the railway people would do
it for them when the demand came. Amer
leans submit good-naturedly enough to
many abuses and impositions, but they
know them as abuses, and when patience
ceases to be a virtue they insist upon re-
form; the English, the other hand, are
only just beginning to realize after long
years of experience that improvement is
possible in the postal system and that there
might be a better arrangement than locking
helpless passengers into compartment cars
between stations. They live a long time
and learn.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1897-11-24

thought he had already studied the ques-
ton. In fact, he claimed to have done so
and to have reached conclusions entirely op-
posed to those of many others who had
studied it, and to reason and experience.
One does not need to go to a free-silver
country to study the laws of finance as they
relate to the silver question, though no
doubt one can find some special results there
which can only be developed by experience.
OF course Mr.. Bryan is going to Mexico,
not to ascertain the real truth of the silver
question, but to get facts and data which
he can juggle with and twist into support
ing his theories. He will come back fuller
than ever of half truths and misinforma-
ton, in the use of which no other man liv-
ing is more skilled than he. BY the way, if
he finds that Mexico is prospecting enor-
mously under free silver, as he will doubt
less report, why should he not remain
there? He is nothing but a yawper and he
never will be missed. for prosperity disowns
him and his names not on the list

ships to carry their goods to foreign mar
kets which are already crowded with COM
petitors, and seem to lose sight entirely of
the fact or of the probability that a mar
ket might be created within their own bor-
ders if half as much energy should be de-
voted to this advocacy as is now devoted
to a competition in foreign lands for a very
limited trade.
The point is here: In Austria the average
wages paid to labor is not half as much as
in Great Britain, and not much in excess Of
one-quarter as much as is paid in the
United States. Suppose Austria, where the
government is well-nigh paternal, or in
Germany, ) where the new war lord has
made it paternal, should decree that after
a certain time wages should be raised %
per cent. If wages were increased Is per
cent the power of the great body of wage
earners to purchase would be increased
one-quarter. This increase of wages would
be expended by the people in the purchase
of the staples which they manufacture to
send abroad. No people anywhere, those
who work for wages or have incomes, are
able to purchase all of the necessaries and
comforts of life. We come nearest to it in
this country. We have made such progress
that what would be luxuries for the same
class Of wage earners in Europe are re-
garded as necessaries here. We have long
since passed the wooden-shoe stage; Europe
has not. With the higher wages paid in
this country our people consume more than
double the value in wooden goods, much
more in cotton goods, and very much more
in food than do those of Europe. They have
the means to purchase while those in Eu-
rope have not. Suppose that the nations
to which the Austrian minister appeals
should unite in movement to bring the
wages of all those countries to something
near the average scale in the United
States, what would be the result? There
would be few goods to be shipped to the
markets of the world, and those that were
would bring fair price. The consumption
of staples by the people of Europe would be
doubled, just as the consumption per capita
in this country is double the average of
Europe.

M. E. CHURCH CONGRESS.
Archaeological Researches and other
Topics Discussed by Divines.

PITTSBURG, Nov 23.-The second day OF
the Methodist Episcopal Congress opened
with the Sunday services prepared by John
Wesley for the use of Methodists in Amer
lea. Rev DR.. W. p. Thinkield, of Cannon
Theological Seminary, of Atlanta, Ga, pre-
sided and conducted the ceremonies. At the
conclusion of the services the following
papers were read: 1.-THE Present Relations
of Archaeological Research in Assyria and
Babylonia to the Bible" by r. w. Rogers,

ison, N j.; important Finds in Christian
Archaeology in Recent Years. by "A. w.
Patton, ID. d. of Chicago THE New View
of the Old Testament, by II. c. Mitchell,
Phi. D., Boston University, Boston.
DR.. Mitchell said in part: "A book to
have literary value must be ineligible and
must have individuality. The story of the
flood in its present form is difficult to I'M
derStand. There are innumerable diff1cul-
ties in the narrative, especially with refer
ence to the number of animals saved and
the duration of the deluge- The new view
of the flood removed these difficulties by
accounts. The traditional idea in relation
to the date and authorship 0f Jonah and
Daniel made them Of great theological inn
portance, but robbed them of much of their
religious value, because of the gaps left in
Gods revelation of himself to his people.
But put Jonah in the captivity and Daniel
in the Maccabean period, these gaps will be
filled in and God is shown to be true to the
Hebrew idea of him.

IDENTITY OF A SUICIDE
ESTABLISHED BY A NAME ON THE
SHOES OF THE VICTIM.
James Charn1ey Ends His Life with
Poison nnd Bullet Because His
Father Is In Disgrace.

CHICAGO, Nev. 23.-Grief and chagrsn
over tho disgrace of his father. Charles NJ.
Charnley. according to his friends drove to
suicide James Charnley, jr., twenty years
old. who was found in his room in the Hotel
Phster, Milwaukee, with bullet hole in his
heart and a deadly dose of morphine in his
stomach. Charles M. Charnley, formerly
president of the Presbyterian board of aid
for colleges and academies, disappeared
last summer, short some $50 900 of the funds
intrusted to him. This weighed heavily on
the sons mind and 1t is said that for some
time the young man had been i'll. The sis
ter and brother of young Charnley. both Of
whom are out Of the city, were not notified
at once of the second diaster that had come
to. them. The brother, Charles, is in New
York. and the sister, Miss Constance, is at
Smith College. This second chapter in the
family's sorrow comes with a crushing
weight. as young Charnley had assumed
the place at the head Of the family which
his father had so recently left vacant. Dur-
Ing the days when the story of Charles M.
Charnleys shortage was being exploited in
the papers and ever since young Charnley
had remained in this city and borne the
brunt of the recriminaton, notoriety and
disgrace. For months previous to his faith
er 5 disappearance, IL is SAID, the mpend-
ing disaster. which had hung like Damo-
cles's sword, by single thread likely at any
time to be broken,- was known to the son.
The identity of young Charnley was es-
tablished in a singular manner. Up to last
night there was apparently nothing to show
who the dead man was. He had emptied
his pockets of everything which might give
some clew and all that remained for the po-

lass lived at No. SO Aston street. On arriv-
ing at the Astor-street house he was met by
Douglass Charnley, cousin OF the suicide,
who informed him that j. Douglass was
his uncle, but that he was in Europe, and
consequently could have no connection with
the Milwaukee mystery. During their con-
versation the thought struck Charnley that
his cousin had been wearing pair of his
uncle's shoes, and immediately light was
thrown on the mystery. 1t appears that
young Charnley, the suicide, has been out
of work for some time, but that on Satur-
day he engaged with a firm at some place
in Kentucky to go to work as book
keeper. He left the Astor-street residence
early in the day. bidding his friends good
bye and was not seen by them afterwards
alive.

A public mass meeting is to be held in
Chicago in q few days of Americanized
Chinese, who wish to become citizens of the
United States and who will appeal to Con-
gress for the right to vote. This will Ice the
first meeting of the kind ever held. A leader
in the movement and president of an Cr-
ganization called the Chinese Equal Rights
League of America says there are fifty
thousand Chinese in the United States who
love the country, who have no intention Of
ever returning to China and who wish 30

ture. to say the least. The leader above
quoted errs in saying I'VE must ask for
our rights" There is no right TO vote ex-
cept as it is granted by the Constitution and
laws of the country. The right of suffrage is
not natural right.

THE AUSTRIAN MINISTER'S APPEAL

The appeal which the Austro-Hungarian
minister of foreign affairs has made to the
governments of Europe to unite to prevent
the western continent, meaning the United
States, from controlling the markets of the
world, challenges attention even If his
scheme is impotent. When a statesman
shows such alarm it is evident that he
must reflect the sentiment of the leaders in
his country in trade and industry. There is
really no cause for alarm The United
States has policy, which is to obtain its
share of the worlds markets by reciprocal
trades 1t does not propose to conquer por-
tions Of Africa and the lands in darkness
that they may be markets for it's goods. 4 Its
policy in the first place is to retain the
home market for the home producer, and
by paying high wages to stimulate con-
sumption which will make the home market
worth more than all the foreign markets
that can be obtained, either by force or
diplomacy. The whole policy of the civil
lized world for the last century in regard
to markets seems to have been unwise- The
leading nations have stimulated production;
at the same time they have neglected to
stimulate home consumption. They have
made goods to be sold in the foreign mar
ket, seeming to labor under the delusion
that there were markets in the world fur
nished by people who were content to buy
of others and exchange for their products
of skill and industry raw materials. This
assumption is equivalent to the belief that
there are nations in the world which choose
to be hewers of wood and drawers of water
for those which stand higher in the scale of
civilization. For hundred years the policy
of the world has been competition to
cheaper Buy in the cheapest markets has
been the slogan of the trader. I'VE must
sell cheaper than anybody else has been
the motto of the producer so these two
forces, acting together, have filled the world
with cheap goods. increasing production in
all the market staples three or four fold,
while population has not doubled and while
the means of the people to purchase has
not doubled.
Those who reflect upon this fact in the
light of the appeal of the Austro-Hungarian
minister must come to the conclusion that
mistaken policy has been pursued and that
the way to obtain better markets is to slim
ulate consumption and production will take
care of itself. If the nations to whom the
minister referred to could unite upon poll
icy which would enable their masses to
consume more OF their own products he
would be sure to have hit upon plan that
would dispose of that large surplus for
which the fabulous markets of the world
are sought. The wonder is that European
statesmen never think of this matter. They

Since every, or nearly every, trial for
murder committed in Marion county is
tried outside of it, would it not be well to
secure a change of the Constitution which
would make it possible for Marion to es-
tablish court in some other county for the
trial of all grave offenses, thus making it
permanent? Now these trials are taken
from county to county as the accused or
his counsel select or think they can get a
jury which will lose sight of justice in
a.way-from-home mercy. If such a propo-
sition is idle, why not make the judges of
the Criminal Courts in this and other coun-
ties the authority to determine when it is
necessary to send a person accused of muir
der out of the county to be tried? 1t is not
pleasant to contemplate that as soon as
man is arraigned for the crime of murder
all the resources of the county are at his
disposal to enable him to escape justice.
This is so we'll understood that the terror
of the law does not check the commission
of the greater crimes

LIKE DIR. M'GLYNN.
Father Ducey May BE Disciplined by
Roman Catholic Authorities.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-For a long time 1t
has been known in Catholic Church circles
that Archbishop Corrigan and his advisers
were growing somewhat anxious over the
utterances from the pulpit and otherwise
Of the Rev. Father Ducey, pastor of st.
Leo's Church. In the reports brought to
them from persons who have listened to
Father Ducey his language was said to be
socialistic in the extreme and far beyond
that of the Rev. DR.. McGlynn, which led
to the trouble of eleven years ago. AS the
archbishop is known to be conservative,
there was a general relief that such utter
ances would lead to a clash. The indications
are that il will come in the near future. The
Rev. Father Ducey did not properly begin
the so-caled socialistic sermons until the
closing days of the last campaign. On Oct.
% he became bitter, when, having hired and
the election OF Henry George. In the reports
of that address Father Ducey is quoted as
saying that ne was speaking while the &C.
ciesiastical sword was hanging over his
head He intimated that he was under sus-
picion and that he might be disciplined at
any moment. Every Sunday since then he
had preached sermons on the evils of cor
porate wealth. Some clergymen are said TO
be in hearty accord with the views or
Father Ducey, while others bitterly oppose
them. Now the council Will examine Tor
itself and whatever action. If any, 1t may
take will be known in a few days. IL Is ex-
pected that the council will meet on
Wednesday.

BEATS THE KLONDIKE.
A ChicagOan Who Claims to Make
Gold Out of Anthony.

CHICAGO, Nov. 23-E. c. Brice, of this
city, thinks he has a process of making
gold that beats nature. He has a factory
at Lowe avenue and Thirty-ninth street,
and is now at work on his first lot of gold
bricks. If his scheme is success the
riches of the Klondike or the Rand will
fade into insignifcances and he may turn
out so much of the yellow metal that the
powers of the world will be forced to de-
monetize it and seek a more precious metal
as a monetary standard. The material he
works on is antimony ore, which is 50 per
cent anthony, the other 90 per cent. being
iron, sulphur, carbon and all sorts of min
erals and impurities. The ore comes in solid
Jumps heavy, hard and lustrous enough to
be mistaken for Jumps of metal. This ore
is cracked up and thrown into reverbera-
tory furnace, which vaporizes it. The vapor
is conducted Off through a long underground
conduit, several feet In diameter, by the
aid of fans On its way It Is superheated
and oxidized by means of Mr.. Br1ce,s pat
ent volcanic furnace. But further along IL
is cooled by conducting the conduit above
ground. The destiny OF the vapor is to an
other building looking like an oid-fashioned
Smokehouse, where it is forced upward into
twenty or more canvas sacks, fifteen inches
in diameter, and fifteen feet high, closed at
the tops. The effect is to cool the vapor
in the form Of a coarse powder resembling
sand. BY rapping on tleosAcks with pole
this powder is loosened and falls down into
sacks on the floor, in which it is carried
away into another building.
The next process is where the mystery
comes in Mr. Brice retireS into another
snlokehouse, erected inside the large fur
mace building and there, with no human
eye to watch him, mixes the powder with
something else, moiStens 1t to the consist
ency of mud and makes it into bricks.
These bricks are Of the usual size, and are
not yet gold, but are called artificial ore,
and are to be made into gold and silver by
the next process. These bricks are put into
the volcanic furnace and baked forty-eight
hours in heat which would melt crow
bar just as fast as it was thrust into it.
cent more than they did and are chock
full of gold and silver. All one has to do is
to grind them UP and make little mud pies
of them and put each pie into little bone
ash cup and bake it, when the impurities
sink into the bone ash and leave in the
cavity a two-ounce button of mixed gold
and silver. The silver is separated by a
bath Of nitric acid, and the gold is ready
for the mint.
For fear somebody might corner the anti
mony the company has bought mountain
of it out in Utah. and now has ten teams
hauling it to the depot to be shipped to the
gold factory in Chicago. Mr.. Brice says that
1t costs the company, laiL down in the fac
tory 500 a ton, and that from each ton Of
the antimOny ore he makes just 81 $50 in
gold The amount of gold he can make in a
day depends on the number of furnaces he
runs, and as he has four he estimates his
output at $4,000 worth of gold a day.
