DISTRICT Court. The trial of Dabney
Jones, indicted for the murder of James
Taylor, has engaged the attention of
the court the greater part of the week.
The case was argued by Messrs. Fetch
er and Evans for the prosecution and
Allen brothers for the defense. The
evidence was plain and direct, and
whatever may be the verdict of the jury
(who still have the case under consider
alton as we so to press the popular ver-
dict is not favorable to the prisoner.
The hesitation of the jury, in this in
stance, indicates the reluctance Of man
kind to convict for crime punishable
by death, and is one of the best argu-
ments for the repeal of the law pre-
scribing the death penalty. The case
of John Chapman, indicted for murder
in the first degree, has been continued.
Yesterday the counsel for defendants
under indictment for selling liquor to
Indians were making strenuous efforts to
get the indictments quashed on the
ground of informalities in empannel-

SYSTEMATIC THEFT. The frequency

Systematic THEFT. - The frequency
with which stores and dwellings have
been entered lately, and articles of val
ne appropriated by the light-fnsered
gentry, demands that vigorous effort
be made by the authorities to discover
the parties and, if possible, recover the
plumber they have gathered from SO
many sources. Beginning with the at
tempt to enter Messrs. Crosby & Sons
Store at Tumwater, about month ago,
we have chronicled no less than half a
dozen similar trials in this place. Nc

open the safe--Sutherland' store of
clothes to the value of about $500, Per-
cival's residence of watch and money
valued at about 5000, and Capt. Law
sons residence of clothing, a portion
of which was recovered it having been
dropped in the precipitate retreat of
the thieves. A thorough search of the
China quarters has failed to reveal any
Of the missing articles, or implicated
them, in any manner, with these trans
actions. The popular belief is that
cultus white men are the guilty parties,
and that they have instituted an or
ganized effort for purposes of plumber.
Our citizens should prepare for these
nocturnal visitors, and extend a warm
reception whenever an opportunity is
presented to administer to their tenn
poral wants.

product. The surplus will seek foreign
market, as will any other surplus. The
balance of trade has nothing to do with the
question. The duties on imports being re-
CURED in coin, create a limited demand for
gold, and about enough to satisfy that demand
remains in the country. To increase this
supply see no way open but by the gov
ernments boarding through the means
above given and possibly by requiring the
national banks to aid. 1t is claimed by the
advocates of the measure herewith returned
that there is an unequal distribution Of the
banking capital of the country. i was
disposed to give great weight to this
view OF the question at first, but,
on reflection, it will be remembered.
that there still remains $4,000, 900
OF authorized bank note circulation, as
signed 70 states having less than their quota
OF bank circulation. They have the option
of SIS. 100000 more to be taken from those
states having more than their proportion.
when this is all taken up, or when specie
payments are fully restored, or are in rapid
process of restoration, will be the time to
consider the question OF more currency.

Goodwin Smiths late letter on home or
local rule in England seems to have been the
result of an increasing political sentiment
now springing up in Great Britain, and de-
msnding the redress of grievances by con-
ferred local jurisdiction. This feeling has
become, indeed, quite bitter in parliament,
and members of both parties regard the So
called "home rule" members as conspirators
and traitors. This hatred seems to be most
intense among the liberals, probably because
the point of contact between them is closer
The greatest concern is manifested about
Ireland, several of the Irish members
being strongly in favor of this move
as cure-all for the sufferings
and wrongs of their country. The opposition
regard this as only a forerunner to the do
minion of Catholicism and papal supremacy
in the Emerald Isle, and hence they are nat
nrally much agitated about the developed
strength of the movement. To what all this
discussion win ultimately lead, it is difficult
at present to decide.

As an evidence of the means which are
now going on to lessen the destruction oflife
and property both in mid-oeean and along
our coasts, there is the reported completion
of chain of telegraph and life saving sta
tions along the entire coast between Norfolk

seacoast presents more dangers to mariners
than does this distance which is literally
strewn with wrecks, and the expert.

Is required in passing this portion
of the coast than in the rest of the journey
from some South American port to New

guard In the now perilous voyage of crossing

has much of painful suggestion in 1t as re-
CARDS the comparative safety of a transat-

the casual proximity OF another steamer.
Many aids to marine safety have, at differ

England has just been awakened from the
csrboniferous nightmare which has so long
paralyzed her hopes by cheering report
from Mr.. Hunt, the chief collector OF statis-
tics relating to mining operations. He ex-
plains that the coal commission, which a few
years ago made enquiries into England's
supply, never said that the amount was near

that, il the population increased to such
an extent that each person could scarcely
find standing room, then the coal supply
would be reduced to something like hun
dred years. With this pleasing extenuation
of the terrible prediction, the cheerful statis-
tician proceeds to point out quite unlimited
supplies of both coal and iron within Eng
lish limits. There is an untouched mass OF
coal extending from near Maspeon on the
north to the Tees on the south and also three
miles out into the German ocean, which il
+ is now proposed to open up. There is, be-
sides. a reasonable probability that
q great coal field exists around the
known coal mines of Nottinghamshire

and vicinity will yet produce from fifty to q

observations, Mr.. Hunt concludes that th<

Contrary to the almost universal expec-
tation of its friends'spd enemies, the presi-
dent has returned the imitation bill 10 the
Senate, without his signature. He sets forth
his reasons for this unexpected departure
from party tradition in a document which
ranks much higher as a state paper than
anything that has hitherto emanated from
his pen. Els strongest argument for
refusing to concur with the majority of
the legislative branch of the govern
nient. is his record on the subject of resump-
tion. He recites the fact that tho people
elected him on a platform which explicitly
promised definite return to the principle OF
specie currency and resumption. That every
one of his messages had dwelt at length on
the same necessity and that he found it inn
possible, after an earnest struggle to
bring himself to agree with the reasons
which carried the bill. Both friends
and enemies, will recognize the force of these
statements, though it is very probable that
theadvocates of the purposes ofthe bill, will
argue and fairly, too, that the president should
not set himself up as the Judge of what the
people most need, when the House and Senate
have already given expression to the popular
will. 1t has seemed to be the sentiment o.
the majority of the people that the currency
is insufficient and that a relief from
present financial depression could be as.

estimates of the depth at which mines could
be worked are too small. One is worked IN
Belgium at 1900 feet, and he believed It
could be worked at 5000 feet. 1t was an
error to suppose that the temperature in
creased toward the center of the earth, the
increase was in diminishing ratio. As re-
CARDS the manufacture of iron. the consump-
ton of coal was gradually being diminished.
But with all this forced cheerfulness, the
prospects for Eneland's coal supply one
hundred years hence would yet seem to be
matter OF the gravest Importance and solicit

You don't hear so much about fraud"
%anent the popular call just now. The atten-
tive reader will perhaps see why. In the
dong lists of names which have been pub
1ished from day to day the party folks
recognize former prominent workers in their
ranks. For instance, in the Hancock county
call there appeared the names of the chair
man Of the republican county COM
mittse, and the chairman of the
democratic county committee. In the call
this morning the same suggestive thing hap
pens. That's an illustration of the way the
business is working throughout. Those
who were at first timid and hating are fall
ing into line with alacrity and the presses
OF this state which were opposed or indiffer-
ent, are now coming round in favoring
comments. The friends of right-doing
and public reform, could ask no
better evidence of the awakening
spirit among the people. The presence
among the reform workers of men who have
the most conspicuous places in both parties.
attests the hold that the movement has on
the people. Patience and endeavor will
bring from this scattered seed of reform, the
best ful6llment of political growth.

1t should not be very difficult to interest
indianapolis in any enterprise that prom
ises the least improvement in butter. 1t is
practical question with which the victims
of the professional boarding house have a
too familiar acquaintance. Laying aside
the disposition to jest: June II is to be a
great day in Indianapolis. The Republican
State Convention is set for that day, but a
bigger and better thing will be
butter. The indications are conclu-
sive already that the meeting of
the Association of Manufacturers and
and Dealers in Creamery and Factory Butter"
(brief nsme) will be largely attended from
all parts of the United States and the Cana
das. The president, Daniel w. Dake, is an
enthusiastic and practical leader of this in
dustry in the west. He is more to the ives.
tern butter interest than Governor Seymour
is to cheese in New York, because his own
works are the admiration of visitors and
learners who go far to examine them. Mr.
Dake has offered from his own purse list
six cash premiums, aggregating 5000 for the
six best essays on butter making to be read at
the convention here in June. The discus
sions on that occasion will doubtless
awaken a new and valuable interest in tie
butter business of Indiana. AS vet, few
people are well aware of the magnitude of
the butter production in this country,
and of its rapid growth. In 1850,
the total butter product of the
United States was 312, S45, 1906 pounds; twenty
years later, in 1870, it is set down at 5l4, O92,
6S3 pounds, and last year the estimate ia ESQ.,
000,0 pounds, worth at least two hundred
million dollars. The average price of butter
for each month of 1873 was from twenty-nine
and half to thirty-six cents per pound, and
the figures of production are unquestionably
far too low. It is confidently maintained
that there never can be an over production
OF good butter in this country, and that the
business, in consequence, will always be
profitable. But there is one very
important fact worthy of thought at
this point. OF all the articles of manufac-
ture in the world, there is none in which
there is so great failure in quality as in this.
1t is safe to presume that without cent
more of expense, simple care and skill
might add at least twenty five per cent. to the
value of the whole product, or SOC, 100000 to
the annual wealth of the nation. To pro-
mote this end is the object of the association
to convene in this city June IL. 1t is hardly
probable that the citizens of Indianapolis
will undervalue the advantage to the city of
this convention of delegates, nor fail to re-
ceive them in such a way as to impress
strangers favorably with the Hoosier cap
ital.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, April 21.-After some
pains to ascertain the facts of the skirmish
this evening, the following is given by
numbers of eye-witnessee: Colonel Rose,
the post commandment, rode abruptly
up to Colonel White through
his band, his horse knocking down several
members of the band. He asked Colonel
White if he intended to advance his troops
any further, receiving negative reply. COL
onel White said then that he had no right to
ride through his men in that manner. A few
hot words followed when Colonel Rose
pulled his pistol. cooked it and struck at
White. The latter threw his hand up and
knocked the pistol off, which fired it in the
air. Col. Roses orderly took pop at White
Immediately; then commenced the
firing, Col. Rose turned and
rode up the street to the city
as previously telegraphed. Most of the
firing from the Brooks side was from the
Metropolitan Hotel windows. Another
crowd was below on the pavement, and
aimed at the Anthony House. The United
States flag waving in front of Gov. Baxter's
headquarters was pierced by several bullets.
Several coiored men were wounded. one in
the foot, another in the leg and one In the
ear. Colonel ID. o. Sullivan, of the Brooks
side, who was standing the side
walk opposite the Metropolitan, was
shot through one of his legs,
breaking it. He then walked up opposite
the city hall and received another shot in
the other leg, breaking it. James Hill,
hack driver, WAS shot in the
hip. Major Shall, who was shot in
the head. died few minutes ago. One
shot was fred by United states soldier OPP
