Silent Auctions of China.

LdNUIt IIIDune.
 To stranger Chinese auction is 6 most curious spectacle. The auctioneei leans over a slightly elevated counter and exhibits his wares. He says noth- ing neither does the bidder, who mere ly steps forward to the auctioneer and runs his fingers up his sleeve, making pressure on the salesman's arm, thus indicating how much he will pay for the article. Then another and another repeat the action until the one signify ing the highest price receives the arti- Gle without word being exchanged on either side. Only the auctioneer and the successful bidder know the price offered and accepted

Constitutional Restraint Defied.

Phtladelphta Ledger.
 Congress has been hesitating for years over a service pension" and feared to assume the responsibility for new law by the stroke of the pen and Congress has not even enough respect for it's own constitutional powers to legalize the act, but tamely accepts it that the order was merely an interpre- tation of the law is destroyed by this ruling in the House. The law has been changed and without the form of legi3- lation. It cannot be wondered at that conservative and law-abiding Ameri- cans are concerned at the recent ten dency to disregard constitutional re- straints

Would Arouse Enthusiasm.

Anniston Hot Blast.
 The sentiment fin favor of John Sharp Williams seems to be taking well in all parts of the country. Every Dem ocratic paper. both North and South, that has commented on it. so far as we have seen, has had something favor able to say in respect to it. It would be graceful thing on the part of the Northern and Western Democrats to work up a Williams boom and put the brilliant Southerner on the ticket with Judge Parker. Such a ticket would arouse enthusiasm by showing o.onclu- siyely that sectional lines have at length been wholly obIiterated

CHAMP CLARK TELLS
 HOW IT HAPPENED
Thinks Gold Telegram Lost Parker In the West and Did Not Help
 Him In the East.

Atlanta, November 15.-Hon. Champ Clark, the Missouri congressman ar rived here today to deliver lecture to- night before the Atlanta Lecture asso- ciation. In an interview today he said of the recent national election:
 Like every good democrat was ooth surprised and disappointed by the re- suit of the recent election l was sur nrised at the overwhelming majority gwen MT Roosevelt and especially al the result in my home state. We lost the state to the republicans for President but elected d democratic governor. don't regard this as signifying that Mis- aouri has been lost forever by the dem ocrats. I think the party will turn the tahles at the next election. I attribute tbe success of the republicans in Mis- sourj to the lack of interest manifested by the democrats. The stay-at-homes lost the state for Parker, and defeated n number of congressman. Parker was not a popular candidate in Missouri Bryan had a very strong following there. and that gold telegram sent by Parker to the St. Louis convention did not help bis cause any in Missouri. Indeed, l be- lieve that 1t cost him the state, and from appearances, it did not help him any in the east"
