burglar Restores stolen Jewels
Through Father Confessor.
From the New York Herald.
st. Joseph. Mich, Thursday-The
confessional has been the means of
saving $4,000 worth of jewels to an An
derson Qnd.) firm of jewelers..
William Washburn. president of the
jewelry company, came here to-day
from Chicago, bringing with him the
tray of jewels returned to him by a
Catholic priest, who had received them
from the penitent thief. The thief and
his partners are known, but Mr.. Wash
burn thinks the man is really repent
ant, and will not prosecute him.
On July 8 the jewelry house of Will
liam Washburn e. Co., of Anderson,
Ind, was entered by burglars, and a
tray of expensive diamonds taken, to-
gether with other valuables. The 30
lice worked faithfully, but could not
get the slightest inkling of the bur-
glars.
Mr.. Washburn last Tuesday evening
received strangely worded epistle
from a Chicago priest, Father e. A.
Murphy, the pastor of st. Mary's
Church, No. 453 Wabash avenue. Mr..
When he entered the rectory Father
Murphy handed him box of jewels
II believe these belong to you. There
are three of them gone" said the
priest. The three diamonds that are
gone will be paid for just as soon as
the man can earn enough money to do
so. He will give the money to me, and
| will send it to you.
''The thief confessed his crime to me
and begged me to find way out of the
difficulty for him. / told him / would
return the goods. He is very sorry, and
wishes forgiveness"
Father Murphy explained that the
man had come to the rectory with
other penitents Saturday afternoon. He
had asked for prayers to relieve him
of a terrible sin and had then told of
the burglary and asked that the jewels
be returned. The priest accepted the
box of jewels which the man drew
from under his coat. and the man de-
parted in peace, after leaving his name
and address.

SILK WILL BE HIGH.
Consul ut Coburg States That Disc
turbances In China Seriously AZ
feet SILK and Ten Trade.

The consequences of the disturb
ances in China are being seriously felt
in the silk and tea trades, says Con-
sui Hughes, at Coburg, Germany, in a
communication to the state depart
ment. While the estimated Chinese
production of silk for last year is es-
timated at 9,92o,700 pounds, which r.
by no means bad result in ,.sa,f
yet the uncertain conditions Of hnsi'
ness make 1t rather risky to import
Chinese goods. This has caused a de-
mand OF syylrian silk goods. Unfor-
.uhale..J, the present silk crop in
Sirkey is not very good, SO that rise
of prices is probable. The tea trade,
states Mr.. Hughes, is in similar DO
sition. Insurance companies do not
like to run the risks and refuse to in
sure Chinese goods while banks have
ceased to advance money on this kind
of merchandise. Tae Geylon tea plan
tations, concludes the consul, will
benefit by these conditions.

WHAT GEN. HARRISON SAYS.
Imperialism in e Republic as Viewed
by Former Republican
President.

The address of ex-President Har-
rison at the University of Michigan is
In some respects the ablest and most
conclusive argument yet made against
the paradox of Imperialism in a re-
public. 1t will tend to convince even
Mr.. Mckinley that this question was
not settled by his election, and that.
as the World said on the morning OF
November Z:
1.-THE fight against imperialism will not
stop. 1t will go on unconfused hereafter
with the now dead and everlastingly buried
free-silver fallacy. The Philippines must
be as free as Cuba. The eternal vitality of
the declaration of independence must be
acknowledged. The supremacy of the con-
stitution wherever the flag flies in SOW
sreignty must be admitted"
Gen. Harrison bases his argument
upon the rights of man, divinely or
dained. and upon the nature and re-
guirements of our constitution. He
reminds us that:
Our fathers worshiped very profoundly
their beliefs as to the rights of man. 1t was
their faith, based upon u liberty derived
from God. 1t was divine gift to be claimed
for our people only upon the condition of
allowing it to apply to all men,"
And with his minds eye on the presi-
dents policy of benevolent assimila-
ton" he declares that 1.-The man whose
protection from wrongs rests wholly
upon the benevolence of another is a
slave, man without rights"
Attacking the assumption that Porto
Rico and the Philippines can be gov
erned outside the constitution, Gen.
Harrison says: eff the act of annexa-
ton does not carry the constitution I
can think of nothing that does" And
he declares that "a government of I'M
limited executive powers is not an
American government" Going direct
ly to the root of the matter, Gen. Har-
rison affirms that the United States
cannot take over or continue to hold
territory whose people are hostile to
our own government"
It is not, however, he well says, mere
" a constitutional question; it is "s
question Of the moral law, of con
cience; we have no right to judge the
capacity for lf-government of the
people of another nation. or to take
and annex their land" And the ex-
president mentions the "graver peril
hanging over u.s. to which the World
called attention when this imperial pol
icy was first disclosed-the danger to
ourselves. Are the rights of the peo-
pie upon the mainland secure" he
asks, when we exercise arbitrary pow
er over other people from whom we
demand entire obedience?"
Touching in conclusion upon the COM
mercial reason for military expansion,
Gen. Harrison uttered his noble and
truly American sentiment: God for
bid that the day should ever come
when the thought of man as a con
sumner should absorb that grand ole
doctrine that man is creation of Goo
endowed with unalienable rights!''-

The SHIP SUBSIDY SCHEME
A Plan to Malct the Producer to
BENEFIT the Wealthy Ship
OwnerA,

More light is thrown on the PROPOSE
ton to pay the ship owners 100000
bounty out of the pockets of the tax
payers every year for 20 years by the
Portland Oregonian, which thus de-
scribes the situation at the Portland
docks:
There are 20 ships in this port to-
day, all loading wheat and -four for
Europe. Africa and the orient. These
20 ships are owned by II different indi-
viduals or firms. They will carry away
about 2,5o0,o00 bushels Of wheat,
grown by at least 1900 farmers, who
receive no subsidy for growing wheat
in competition with the pauper labor Of
India. Russia and the Argentine. Hav-
ing no protection whatever in their
business, these 1900 farmers should
not be forced to pay subsidy tax to
increase the already large profits of the
II ship owners, who are carrying their
produce to market-not from any pa
triotic motive, but because there is
money in the business. With the ex.
none of the feet now in the tfvhr DRAWS
a subsidy from any government. They
sail the world over, taking cargo wher-
ever it can be found, and successfully
competing with other ships"
This is the whole case against the
subsidy in nutshell. 1t is proposed
that 1900 producers shall pay II ship
owners for transporting the product
to market price sufficient to yield a
reasonable profit; and that, in addi-
ton, the producers shall join with the
rest of us in paying a bounty to the
shipowners, in recognition of their
kindness, we presume, in conserving to
make living instead of running for
Office.
The thing is so preposterous it is in.
credible that any political leader with
the slightest regard for his reputa ton
should be willing TO appear as it's apol-
ogist and advocate.
If it goes through congress and be.
comes law, the ship-subsidy bill vii,
prove to be the deadliest blight to pub
lie mems careers the country has
known since the infamous SALARY
grab" Senators and representative
who have any ambition to continue il
the services of the nation, to say moth
ing of rising in it, should take warning
in time.-Chicago Journal (Rep.).

ping the old underground system OF
London with electric traction. There
were nine tenders. The American bid
ders were the lowest. except Cans &

company was not very much below
that of all others. but proposes Il sys-
tenn entirely novel, which. if their
claims are substantiatcd, will revo-
lutionize the motive power OF the
world and supplant all others. The
directors were astonished, and de-
ferred the awarding of the contract.
They will send committee and eN-
perts to Buda-Pesth to examine into
the matter. Discussing this PROPOSE
ton. the Engineer, a newspaper. says:
I'VE are not at liberty to give de-
tailed information. We can say, how
ever. that if the statements are sub
stantiated. Cans & Co. are as far
ahead of the American traction prac-
tice as the Americans tel us they are
ahead of the British In word, the
new system will do for full-sized rail
ways what hitherto has been possible
for tramways only.
cit is rumored that the American
bidders are determined to get the
contract, and it is a suggestive fac
that underground shares are being
heavily bought on orders from the
United States. This may be coin
cidence, but the statement is not in
consistent with the practice of trusts
which endeavor to control matters OF
