Why did the IntellUjcnccr neglect to
publish, or even refer to,«iovernor Pat

t cal country and does uot furnish a fit
t -ater for the exploitation of chimeras
devised for the purpose of influencing in a
poli’ eal wa v t.he producing classes.
“The tin-plate boom." adds the
Leader, “so far as can be judged from
stirh information as is attainable. Is !t
political rhimera of the most pro
nounced type. It originated in a bold
-•ro ■ ii ido by a St Louis importer of
tin-p 'to to advertise his business, was
tak» ; up as >\ novelty by politicians and
wa> <sed from post to pillar until it
Miin. nMed finally in the adoption of the
tiu-p ute clause in the McKinley bill.
> nee that clause, placing a high tariff
on f reign tin for the promotion of the
home manufacture of tin-plate, went
into (■ fleet, there has been no visible de
v* vel ; mui of the home industry, for
the very excellent reason that the
quantity of tin mined in the United
Slat- - is absurdly small.”
It toust be borne in mind it is not a
Democratic “free trade” journal we are
juoti g from, but the red-hot Republi
can h.irh-tarif) Pittsburg Leader.
The Leader continues:
Provssor U~ W. Claypool, of Buchtol
Colics ■, Akrvn, O,, who is one of the edi
tor- i f the American Heoloyint, inspected
recent’; the much-lauded tin regions of
Si ut Dakota, and reports that the total

by tno uglis i owners after the produc

After these sledge-hammer blows on
the short rib- of M» IyinleWs tin-plate
fake, the Leader polishes ui? that gen
tleman thuswise:
“M inwhiio Major M< Kixlky is tell
ing the people of Ohio that the tin in

poor platform to stand on, and one to
which a statesman of McKinley's abil
ity sh tu’d b<> the hist to resort. When
th< tin-j ate bubble bursts as it one

much to answer for.”
\\> h • g leave to reiterate that it is
not a I mocratic *‘frec trade enemy of
home industry’' we quote from, but a
high tar.t! Republican organ that has
been consistent in its advocacy of the
MoKiti y tariff. The tin-plate lies,
however, it could not stomach, and
pia ing the public interest above mere
party success, it refuses to lend it- col
uiiius t«> the circulation of a falsehood,
w .:ch ha- already crea" d a disastrous

objects and methods of the tru-t are
thus described by the New York

Germany is to bo congratulated on
the inclusion, through her Minister at
Washington, of a “convention” whereby
American grain is to bo admitted to that
country duty free.
This will h»; a great thing for Ger
many. The present duty on wheat im
ported into that country is 3.1' . cents
per bushel, and it is a heavy burden on
the German people. Germany’s present
need of cereals from the outside world
is estimated at 100.0(H),000bushels, most
of which, owing to the cr >p failures in
Russia and the. prohibition of the expor1
of ry*\ must come from the l utted
States.
Germany is a high tariff count!y,
but when it comes to the pinch she ac
knowledges that the tariff is a tax on
the German consumer and nobody else.
If McKinlcyism is a good thing at
any time it ought to bo a good thing
during hard times. If the foreigner
pays the tax, as McKinley says. Ger
many instead of taking off the tariff on
grain for the good of her hungry peo
ple, ought to pile it twice as high, so a?
to make the foreigner p:: v ill the taxes
till uoxt harvest time.
The more presentation of the high
tariff argument in this light shows how
absurd it is.

disappearance William Coy, with
whom Whalen lived, was held responsi

having murdered him. was found buried
on the mountain side,, last night, near
Coy's shanty.
The body was cut into pieces, and an
examination showed that the skull had
boen crushed, and that a gash had been
cut in the throat.
A dog was the means of finding the
body. In a thick growth of maples,
sixty rods south of Coy’s house, the dog
began scratching the ground. This at
tracted attention, and the searchers be
gan to dig at the spot. About two feet
below the surface the remains were
found. The body lay on its back, and
the severed b-gs were on the top of the
trunk.
Whalen was known to be intimato

•ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
Yesterday Devoted Entirely to the Dls
cnsslon of Ktiucalionnl Matter*—The
Papers Head.
Washington, October 14.—The room
ing session was “Education,” and the
first paper was by \V. M. Fithett, of
Victoria, N. S. W., entitled “Religious
Training and Culture of the\oung.
He held that the Church had failed:
even the Sunday school faded, and
failed in the older scholars, 'ihe tend
ency of the time was toward compulsory
secular education.
When the State entered the field of
primary education, in ten years primary
education would be secular. The peril
was that it might not only be non-Chrls
tlan, but anti-Christian.
The topic of thenddressof Kev. Jho>.
II. Applegate was “The Family.’ In
the course of his address, he said that
the highest and most racred responsibil
ity of maturity for the training of youth
finds its divinity ordained expression in
the parental relation. Kev. l>r. Waller,
of England, said the salvation of a coun
try depended on the salvation of the
children, By a strange irony, in \ ic
toria. they took the Bible from the
hands of the school child only to thrust
It Into the hands of the criminal when
ho entered the jail. The Bible was be
ing driven out of the public schools lit
America and the church should redouble
Its efforts to roach the young in other
ways.
Kev. John Smith, of England, read
the lirst essay on “Elementary Educa
tion; llow it May be Best Promoted.”
Ho said that the United States was the
only country in the world that spent
more money in education than in war or
warlike preparations. Elementary pub
lic schools should bo freed from all re
ligious domin'tion, and as they were
tustained by the people, they should be
kept in the people’s hands. | Applause. ]
Rev. .1. I). Hammond, of the M. E.
i Church South, Covington, Ivy., spoke
upon “The Ethics of Elementary Edu
cation.” lie said that man learned more
in the first three years of childhood than
during the whole college term. Only 0
per cent, of the children received more
than elementary instruction, and the
only method by which continued moral
development could be socured In the
other 94 per cent, was by the inculca
tion of proper principles in these early
stages.
Alderman J. H. Crisfield, of Manches
ter, England, condemned the existing
school system of England, saying it
turned out so mauy little bigots instead
of scholars.
Rev. A. M. Green, of the A. M. E
Church of New Orleans, hoped the Bible
would he taught freely in all schools on
both >ides of the sea.
