CURRENT COMMENT.
The towpaths of ull tho New York
canals nrc now open to bicyclists.
San ii:ii.VAiii)iNo, Cul., is said to be
tho largest county in the United
Stntcs, covering 51, 172 square miles.
Tnh year book for 1895 of tho de
partment of agriculture at Washing
ton was said to bo ready for distribu
tion. A statkmk.nt was made that 2,000
tailors were out of employment in
New York becauso tho vast array of
wheelmen had ceased to wear line
clothes on Sunday.
Gkokof. Dk I.ono, a berry picker at
St Joseph, Mich., had a wealthy unclo
killed in the St. Louis tornado, and
has received word that ho has been left
fortune of 8150,000.
Artificial silk, that is a substance
resembling silk and fulfilling in large
measure the manifold purpose of silk,
is produced by an elaborate chemical
process out of such a prosaic substance
as wood pulp.
According to the author of an Eng
lish book entitled "Criminal Statistics,"
authors, editors and journalists fur
nish a larger proportion of criminals
than any other profession. In Franco
the notaries are the greatest rogues.
Amono the many maladies of this
Feneration, the lialtlraoro Sun says, is
that of tho autograph Send, evinced in
the hunting and persistent petitioning
for detached signatures of all sorts of
persons of more or less contemporary
fame.
It is stated that since trees have been
extensively planted in southern Cali
fornia the rainfall of the region has
become much more uniform and favor
able to agriculture. Uut there are
other parts of tho state In which the
sawmills aro wiping out the forests.
A anon deal of comment is devoted
to the changes which are noticeable in
marriage data. It is said that mar
riages aro fewer than they wero and
that the average age has risen from 18
and 22 years to 30 or over. The deduc
tion drawn is that women are enjoy
ing a greater degree of freedom and
aro seeking higher intellectual devel
opment. A New Yuiik bookseller makes tho
plaintive statement that "wo have lost
more money in tho past four years than
we made in 10 years before; and bicy
cling is undoubtedly the chief, if not tho
only, cauo of the trouble." The Phil
adelphia Itecord wonders if tho cheap
magazines and tho great dailies havo
not wrought more mischief than the
bicycles, and says It is tho fashion now
to lay all the trade slumps on the
wheels.
Tiikijk is a strangu custom attendant
upon local elections which has existed
in Urown township, Delaware county,
O., for tho last 30 years. It is that
of eating 40 dozen hard-boiled eggs on
election night at tho expense of tho
successful candidates. Neither tho
bill of faro nor the number of eggs is
ever varied. E.icli veara committee is
selected to secure tho eggs and prepare
the feast. When tho count is linished
the eggs are passed around and the
banquet begins. Tho persons who aro
elected foot the bill.
The loss of property caused by the
recent tornado at St. Louis, according
to the otlicial estimate of Sir. Freder
ick, president of tho board of assess
ors, based upon a careful investigation
by export assessors, is 810,230,000. The
number of houses totally destroyed
was 321. Placed side by side thoy
would cover ono side of a street for a
mile and a half. The total number of
buildings damaged was 8,512, a row 33
miles long. Counting only five per
sons to tho house, this number of
houses would make a city of 40,000 in
habitants. One of tho most eccentric characters
in Indiana is Allison Dewitt, of Battle
Ground, an old bachelor, who has
lived alone In a littlo cabin for nearly
half a century. Over ono year ago he
began digging his own grave, which
progressed slowly because of his
feebleness, and ho spent several weeks
in walling it up. Then ho contracted
svith a Logansport firm for a suitable
-monument, bearing his own epitaph,
and tho stono was recently placed in
position. Ho stipulated that no capital
letter must be used on the tombstone
save in tho word God.
A terriiilk famine, which threatens
to pluntro the most prosperous portion
of Tonkin, China, into tho direst mis
ery for many years, is desolating that
country. The harvest has been a fail
ure and tho natives throughout the
whole of tho country aro in tho most
miserable condition. In Hanoi, the
other day, a mother offered her three
infants for eight cents, preferring to
hand them over to a European .rather
than seo them perish from hunger in
her arms. Inhabitants emigrate from
the country en masso to tho cities to
teg for sustenance, while many others
aro going about pillaging.
A maciii.vk has been invented for

MR. WHITNEY'S LETTER.
The Now York Politician Addresses Ills
Party on tha Money Question.
New York, June 22. William Q
Whitney yesterday made public a state
ment in which he defines the political
situation, and concludes by saying that
he is not a presidential possibility, that
he "would not run if nominated and
would not servo if elected." As to the
silver idea, ho says:
For tho past 15 years leaders of public opin
ion In tho south and nest havo bcon advocat
ing as the great remedy for existing Ills tho
free colnujro of silver at sixteen to one, with
or without the co-oper.itlon ot othor nnt!on3.
A largo majority of iho delegates to tho com
ing democratic convention havo been elected
by tho peoplo for tho purpose of Incorporating
that doctrlno Into tho platform of tho demo
cratic party.
This movement for free coinage purports to
to havo for its object tho establishment and
maintenance) of gold and slUcras tho money of
tho country upon equal terms with each other,
and at a parity of purchasing power. If by tho
WILIIAM C. WHITNEY.
proposed measure that object could bo secured
there would be no substantial disagreement In
tho party. Eery national democratic platform
that has heretofore spolicn upon the subject
has declared for both gold and silver money.
It Is our traditional policy, liut tho main
tenance of a double standard at tho present
time Is not a question of desire It Is a ques
tion of ability. The commercial value of sil
ver has greatly declined In the markets of the
world '
At tho present moment Germany, rrancc,
Italy. Austria, Holland, Uclgium and the
United States wish to co-operate for tho es
tablishment ana maintenance of tha joint
standard by International njreement and (most
Important circumstance) Great Urllaln has re
cently (within three months. In fact) made a
most important confession. She said. "We
u 111 do for you as much as you can do for your
sches. Wo will make this great contribution
to a bimetallic system. We will go back upon
deliberately arranged methods ot providing a
currency for India. We will open th India
mints. We will engage that they shall be kept
open and we shall therefore provide for a free
colnago of silver within the limits of the Hrltlsh
empire, for a population greoter in number
than the population of Germany, Trance and
America put together "
Personally, it Is ray opinion. If the demo
cratic pirty goes on that platform at this
time, they will meet the most disastrous defeat
that any party has ever had in this country.
I understand It Is honestly bellcted In and
people think It will bring relief from their
present troubles: but between now and elec
tion day It will be pretty thoroughly sifted,
and the people of the country will not faco the
disturbance of values, the loss of confidence,
tho general distress and ruin which would
como to their business Interests In such a
change In their standard of value as would
arise from such a change. It will overwhelm
the persons who undertake It.
A POPULIST ADDRESS.
Lender! Issue nn Appeal Advising the In
dorsement of mator Trller.
St. Louis, June 21. As tho result
of a series of conferences between
committees appointed by tho seceding
silver men of the recent 1 epublican na
tional convention nnd a committee
composed of prominent populists, an
address was issued Saturday from the
headquarters of the people's party na
tional committee in this city, advising
populists throughout tho country to
moke Henry M. Teller, of Colorado,
their national standard-bearer. The
address says in part, after noticing tho
"boss in politics:"
Ono man. the perfection of his type, repre
senting tho millionaires, tho banUs. the cor
porations, tho trusts, and ccry other remorse
less and plutocratic element In our countri's
life, has. through the power of money, dic
tated tho nomination of McKinley and shaped
tho platform of his tfirly.
In low of the shameless submission by tho
rcpuoucan convention to tno most extreme de
mands ccr made upon Americans by the
money power, ccry thought and effort of
American manhood should, from this hour,
tend toward creation and cementing a union
between those who would resist tho conspiracy
of wholesale robbery and grinding oppres
sion. Tho address then goes on to tell of
Senator Teller's merits and soys he is
"ono upon whom all populists may con
sistently unite."
Tho manifesto is signed by II. E.
Tnubeneck, of Illinois; It. E. Sankey,
of Kansas; F. D. Eager and J. A. Edger
ton, of Nebraska; C. K. Keifsnider, W.
J. Quick and Frank E. Kitchey, of Mis

Consul-Generiil Lee Makes a Report Which
May Kesult In Armed Intervention by the
United Mates.
Havana, Juno 22. Consul-General
Lee has forwarded to President Cleve
land a dispatch containing full re
ports upon the Cuban situation here.
It is said that the report is of great
importance to the United States nnd
to Spain. So strong it, it, in fact, that
its contents may, it is hinted, be mado
the basis of armed intervention In
Cuban affairs on the part of the ad
ministration at Washington. Consul
Ucncral Lee takes the ground, it is
said, that tho only possible solution of
tho problem existing in the island is
autonomy on Canadian lines. Whllo
the Spanish flag flies in the island, ho
holds, no other remedy can bo found
to stay the rebellion or end tho blood
shed and devastation.

DEEPLY INCENSED.
President Keller and congressman Linton
Dissatisfied with the Republican Plat
form. St. Louis, June 2?. E. IL Sellers, of
Michigan, president of the A. P. A. na
tional council, and Congressman W. a.
Linton, of Michigan, aro deeply in
censed at the refusal of the resolutions
committee of the republican national
convention to incorporate the declara
tion demanded by the order in the
platform thus declared for absolute
freedom of all public schools from
sectarian influence and civil inspec
tion of all privato educational in
stitutions, for the absolute separation
of church and state, for no more sec
tarian appropriations, for stringent
immigration laws, for restriction of
suffrage to citizens only, for owner
ship of lands to actual American citi
zens and against alien ownership, for
prohibition of contract convict labor,
for a national system of education and
for the taxation of all but public prop
erty.
Sellers declares that tho convention
was largely under the influence of
lloman Catholics and its refusal to in'
corporate the declaration in tho plat
form will cost the republicans at least
1,000,000 votes. He charges the com
mittee on resolutions with cowardice,
corruption and dishonesty, and went
on: '"The election of Kerens, a pro
nounced Catholic, and a political ad
viser of Satolli, as a member of the na
tional republican committeo was a di
rect insult, and designed as such, to
all patriotic societies."
Asked if the A. P. A. would put up a
ticket in Missouri, Sellers said that
that would be left entirely with the
state organization, but he thought
there would bo an American ticket in
nearly every state in the union
Sellers said that he would present
the same declaration to the democratic
and populist national conventions and
if both reject it the A. P. A.R would
undoubtedly put a national ticket in
the field.
POOR ITALY.
A Terrible State of Affairs Existing In
the Country.
London, June 22. A letter from an
Englishman, who has long been a resi
dent of Italy, gives a serious picture of
the situation in that country. He says
that a revolution is only a question of
time; that the taxes are CO per cent on
all incomes, and that the starving state
of the peasantry and the lower
classes generally equals that of the
French before the great revo
lution. In Sardinia, the writer
says, mothers are feeding their
children on grass and weeds bv
the roadside, and in all parts there are
deaths from starvation. The women
straw workers of Tuscany are in open
revolt, and everywhere men nnd women
are reduced to skeletons and are to be
seen carrying their last rags to be sold
for taxes. In Lombardy and other
northern districts, where the people
live on insuflicicnt Indian corn, the
writer says, the disease pellagra is in
creasing, and more than 100,000 per
sons are affected, of which about 5,000
die yearly. Many of tho victims die
insane.

Much has been written about the

Even the cleverest and tnou-rched on

about it hava only been able to obtain
the barest skeleton of its formation
but that Is as much as any one knows!
Secrecy and mystery from its f0iD

force is unknown. Their m.,,. ..,
5,000 and possibly C0.000. The section
includes men placed in every walk of
life, from tho humblest to the most
powerful, the artisan and the diplomat
the high army olliccrand the commoa
soldier, the laborer and the society
man, the merchant and the thief. ia
every big city the world over are men
of the third section. They are in Xtw
York. Chicago. Boston, Philadelphia
and all large towns of this country
They swarm in London, Paris, Berlin
Vienna, Constantinople and the great
capitals of Europe. The cities of Asia
are full of them.
Those In the Roman cities have no
regular hours for reporting for duty
as in the case with members of the de
tective force in the ordinary citv.
They are on duty all the time. Ve'vr
of the agents know one another.
This is regarded as a great advantage!
An agent would be in the companyof
nine other agents and not one in the
group of ten would know that he was
in the presence of fellow-officers.
Their superiors confer with them in
secret and they never meet at one
place. It Is an every-day occurrence
for an agent to turn in a report accus
ing another agent of suspicious con
duct The latter is simply following
up some case and the other, not know
ing him to be a secret officer, makes
his report So elaborate, complete and
extensive is this organized spy system
that little goes on that does not reach
the ears of some official. Washington
