Tho Status of Collector Brady Still Being Discussed in Richmond. THE COLONEL QUITE SERENE.

Says He Has Not Violated the Civil-Service Laws. Claims to Have a Letter from Secretary Gage Fully Indorsing; His Coarse Speaker Kyan Confident of He-Election A Pretty Girl Committed to the House of the Good Shepherd. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. Richmond, Va Sept. 0.

The status of United States Internal Revenue Collector James D.Brady iu displacing the employes of his democratic predecessor, which has now become a national matter, is still widely discussed here. The collector was in his otlico today after his return from Washington, where lie had an interview with Secretary Gage -and other officials. The Colonel still maintains that he has violated no provision of the eivil-servioo laws and that his conduct has been indorsed at Washington. "It is not a fact," he said with emphasis, "that my action was disapproved by the treasury officials. So far from my course being displeasing to Mir.

Gage, who has always been an ardent advocate of civil service, I have been notified by him by letter that he fully indorsed my course. Not only that, but yesterday he told me some things personally." There is an impression that should it be maintained that the collector will lie forced to take the eligibl list those whom he has appointed vii submit, themselves to examination. In the meantime it is not unlikely that the whole matter will go to the- courts unless Secretary Gage shall summarily settle it by itaiuiring the collector tit reinstate the iihl men. or appoint his full force from the eligible list. The decision in this case promises to have an important bearing upon the republican factional right inVirginia.

Should Brady be overruled and quired to reinstate the democrats, it would greatly weaken the power of 1he anti-La mil wing in Virginia. This phase of tin. contest has no doubt been presented to the friend. i of the administration at Washington. Hon.

The girl and her mother took the alternative and sent the irirl to Baltimore. This conclusion was aft---r a consultation between the mother, girl's aunt and Father Tlerny.

His Name Still Unknown 7. Ilrown Is S-iirl So Have Had Two Wives. Special Dipneh to the Baltimore Sun. Sept. Bramble-ton suicide is yet un idem hied, and the chances are that Norfolk people- will never know his name.

The mains, by a telegraphic request from a Mr. Low, of Nor-walk. husband of Mrs. Eva Low, the dead man's sister, were turned over to Undertaker Smith, who embalmed them, and which are still at his place awaiting orders for their disposition. It is thought probable the suicide was a man of means, like George Brown, of Philadelphia, wo died at St.

Vincent's Hospital. He was Addicted to the use of alcohol and laudanum, and roamed about, the country caring not where he went. It is also understood that he was proprietor of a summer resort up in the Berkshire lulls, and may have wandered a way while sintering from temporary aberration of mind. I'. J.

State School Commissioner Glenn, of Georgia, has begun an active crusade in defense of the school appropriation, and is sending out letters to all the county school commissioners urging them to take action in each community by personal iippeal to members of the Legislature and by meetings, resolutions and memorials of county boards of education against the repeal of th, Increased appropriation. The Legislature last fall passed the usual school appropriation for from taxation for tills year, and raiser! it to for ISPS. Of late a disposition has cropped out In some quarter's to repeal the appropriation and prostitute una at tlie old figure Commissioner Glenn says the people arc not in favor going backward and he is rloing all in his power to prevent the proposed reduction.

If time is money, millions have been saved, nnd it is poor policy to kick down the ladder on which we bare mounted, and may use to go still higher. Florida cannot live for herself alone, and Floridians should not desire to do so. The views of the Hustler mo bail in theory and ruinous in practice.

Shall we be the tall of tlia kite?" Dooming Times in Georgia. The Savannah News says: "Crops in all section! of the State arc bountiful. The yield in corn, rice, pens, potatoes and other staples, as well as in cotton, will be abundant, and when 'hog-klUlng time' comes there will be more meat hung in Georgia smokehouses than has been known since the South began to depend upon the "West for pork and bacon. These assertions are r.ot without foundation; they are based upon ad vices from our own cor-lespondents throughout the State, corroborated by a recent exhaustive inquiry made into conditions in the State at large by the Atlanta Journal. WRh barns and full of home-marl" provisions, with debts cleared awav, and cotton sold at a fair margin of profit, the farmers of the State will be In a position to spend money for investments and for the luxuries ef life, nnd the whole State will share in tho prosperity which will ensue."

Roili charges struck uim in the arm, shouluer and neck, causing painful fabulous richness have been marie, nnd. more Important slil perhaps, there hay; ben discoveries of methods for obtaining gold heretofore Inaccessible, been as busy In pursuit of Science has gold as tint mining prosper-! or, and has accomplished perhaps as much. The electrolysis method for extracting Ihe gold from copper ore has added, and will continue to a vast treasure to the world's supply. A new method of mining has been in Utah which has extracted gold from rocks whore rdi'oris to tnat end have heretofore been failures.

A vast treasure has boon discovered in the Klondike, the extent rif which cannot even be conjectured. In Trinity county. Cab. new mines have been discovered. Increasing stream of gold are coining from South A frica a nd Australia, Mexico ami Somh America.

What effect this increased production of gold may hare upon the money question Is an Interesting speculation. The value of gold, like the value all other products, is primarily measured by the amount of labor It requires to produce it, and according to this rule the more rich mines discovert tin- less valuable gold will be. At any rate, the anticipated production sh aihl be or cvn If the rate of production shall combine, the chief argument of the free Merlte will b' gone, namely, thai the amount of gold is too small to supply the world with money.

I ranged nnd presented by an aciive parti-san will discredit them. Fur ii is a fact that statistics In the hands of an astute statistician can be so shaped as to prove almost anything. It is likely that the appointment of Mr. Carroll Ib Wiigel for superintendent of the census ill be urged upon the President. Mr.

Wright is one of the ablest nnd fairest statisticians in the country, ami his appointment yoiild insure the value of th" work. ll Is to tie hoped that Ihe lav for the cun i la I i. ui of the next census will not require the great mass of work which was ain-iniucd in the last census, ami which, we believe, has not even yet been completed. Statistics six or eight years old are of little practical value, and nothing mo-o should lc attempted than can be promptly accomplished. Anil above all things, the work of the census, the collection and compilation of statistics, should be done under the rules of the civil-service Inw ami by persons In the classified service who have demonstrated their fitness by passing examinations.

Foreign Postal arils. The Pittsburg Dispatch says that people In Ihiit city are receiving postal cards from friends in Germany, each being illuminated wilh a scene of the chief place of Interest In the town from which It comes. It seems that in Germany each town uses its own postal cards. The Pica Is not a bad one. Such cards are far more beautiful than lliosc used in this country and they serve the purpose of advertising 1 li- various towns giving iu format Ion to people at large concerning geography.

history and so on. tl Is generally observed that tho United States government makes less use of artists In the Posiollice De part incut than the governments of oilier countries. Our posial cards could not well be loss at i motive than they are, and the United States poisnge stamps are, perhaps, the highest ill the world. There is nothing nrlisiio or beauliful about Ihont. and the odors used are as dull as the engraied devices.

I'lttsburj; Smoke. There is much complaint iu Pittsburg about the smoke from the furnaces. It hangs co cr ihe business portion of the city, says one of Cue Pittsburg papers, shutting out the sunlight, tilling the lungs with dust and smudging everything. Tiie aggravating purl of It, adds our contemporary, is that there Is no occasion for Ibis, as the smoke can be consumed and should be consumed as a matter of economy, if or no ther reason. Some years ago Pittsburg was a clean city.

Natural gas was substituted for coal in the furnaces and the interiors of the shops were whitewashed. But. now the gas Is gone and the factories have gone hack to bit umlnous coal. Baltimore people living near Union Station can get some Idea of Pittsburg. India Rubber Production.

The production of India rubber in Mexico l.t attracting attention, iunl tho samples which have been exhibited are said to be ot tine quality. The Mexicin Herald declares that several rubber companies oiiti bicycle company of tho United States will probably erect factories In tho City of Mexico. The enormously increased of rubber in the matiufacrure of bicycle tiros must be met by increased production or by greater cure of the rubber tree of tho forest. IC tho soli ami climate of Mexico are favorable tr) Its production. It will doubtless itrow into an important industry.

Chicago anil the South. The Chicago papers are complaining bitterly of discriminations against that city by Southern railroads. Tho Times-Herald declares that tin? uufavnrbale rates virtually shut Chicago off from Southern trade. A Japanese paper is published in New i'ork. The editor came to this country a few months ago, and with but a slim capital started this interesting little journal, which is called the Japanese News.
