cHr1EAN CONGRESS
Opens With Ceremony-President's
Message Read


NEW YORK, June IA dispatch to
the Herald from Valparaiso, Chile, says:
Congress opened with much ceremony.
The session will be held in the university.
the capitol having recently been de-
stroyed by fire and new one now being
In course Of construction.
The message OF the President dealt
principally with the foreign relations Of
the government. These, said President
Errazuriz, were in general harmonious.
With reference to the establishment of a
definite boundary line between Chile and
Argentina, the two governments had en-
tered upon a period characterized by
frank understanding and necessary con-
cessions on both sides. Negotiations
were in progress. but the President said
it was too soon to inform Congress at
length as to the results which the Boun-
dary Commission had achieved.
The questions pending with Peru and
Bolivia, President Errazuriz hoped,
would be determined before the year
should be ended. An agreement had
been reached, through diplomatic means.
whereby the common relations Of Chile,
Peru and Bolivia would be established
upon an amicable basis.

Miss Kate Helmke Of St. Louis is
totally blind, but she takes long rides
on her bicycle, often alone, without ia
curing any mishap. She can tell just
where she is at any time, avoids ruts
and obstacles as we'll as if she could
see them, and tells to a nicely how far
she is from the street curbing. The only
explanation thus far vouchsafed of Miss
Helmke's wonderful achievment is that
her perceptive faculty has been so high
ly trained that she notes and remembers
the slightest change in the roadbed

no further bloodshed has occurred. Off

LET CONGRESS DO IT


Instead Of passing . law authorizing
tho president to appoint commission
to devise and frame monetary sys-
tenn, we suggest that by q concurrent
resolution congress create committee
to be composed OF members of both
bodies to do that work in the interim
between the present and the next ses-
fions. The committee should be 30 COM
POSED as to fairly represent the Demo-
Gratis, Republicans. Populists and sill
yer Republicans. and special pains
should be taken to select the ablest
men Of each element.
If there be not SUFFICIENT talent and
virtue in congress to prepare a wise and
just system, the people ought to know
1t, that they may elect those who are
fitted to do that work to their satisfac-
ton.
A money system is not for class OF
classes, but for the masses. 1t is not
subject of legislation which requires ex-
pert knowledge, but that knowledge
which will enable legislators to compre-
bend the general needs, and DISPOSE
ton to respect them. Bankers and
money lenders study special features
only, and these are how to make money
earn the largest profits and what con-
stitute good securities. Study Of the
subject within the walls of a bank does
not contribute to the development of
broad and generous views. Such views
can only be acquired by going out
among the farmers, mechanics and
dealers. A survey Of the whole field is
necessary to furnish the information
requisite to devising and framing sys-
tenn that will subserve the interests of
the whole people. Why attempt to do
indirectly by the unusual machinery
that which can better be done directly
an in the regular way? The work of
a commission must be overhauled by
congress at last, and there is no reason
TO suppose that commission Of
so-called experts will present plan ac-
ceptable to congress; on the contrary
voritism to class.
None Of the great secretaries of the
treasury was a banker or money
changer; they were men of sense, and
having studied public wants, they were
statesmen. The money question: is not
so difficult and abstruse that man
cannot comprehend it except by famil-
iarity with loans and discounts and in
counting cash. Let us have no schemes
which are designed and which will have
the effect, If adopted, to perpetuate the
cf the few through volume of circu-
lating medium inadequate to general
business wants. Let us have a gov
ernment by those whom the people
chose to do their work, and not by COM
missioners. Congress should not under
any circumstances delegate it's powers
and duties to special functionaries. 1t
cannot shirk its responsibilities and
give satisfaction to the people. If the
people cannot comprehend the money
question, it would better be removed from
their consideration. We think they can
and that it would better be left to them
to decide what they want, and that the
carrying out of their wishes be COM
mitted to those whom they chose to
represent them, as is contemplated by
the constitution.

GOT OFF EASY
Board Of Health Witnesses Fell Down
Entirely

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2-In the
case of A. L. Whitney, charged with
having sold impure currant jelly the de-
fendant was. yesterday acquitted by n
jury in Judge Campbell's court. The YER
dict was given under instruction Of the
court, the Board of Health who made the
complaints having failed to appear In
court to press the charge.
Whitney was accused Of having sold
an impure article of food branded as
pure currant jelly. Upon the calling of
the case his attorney demanded the
right to have the stuff examined by their
own chemist. Judge Campbell issued an
order directing the officials of the Board
of Health to give to the defense a por-
tion of the alleged jelly for the purpose
of chemical analysis. The Board CT
Health refused to recognize the order
and were told by Judge Campbell that If
they persisted in their refusal he would
dismiss the case.

for many day. This, say the same au-

for if so it will mean a somewhat sudden
tumble for the many women who are now
wearing their hair high. The most fetch
ing decoration for the hair at present is a
single diamond ornament poised high above
the face, which by reason of it's solitari-
ness as well as it's distance, lends an en-
chantment that the more approachable
tiara cannot hope for. No one for dress
wears her hair unornamented nowadays. A
twist of velvet or jet is much in favor. es-
