The Last OfTabIe Rock at Niagara.

A few days ago, the last of what
was known as Table Rock, at Mag
ara, broke off and fell into the river.
The mass weighed nearly sixty tons,
and up to 1876 over four thousand
names of visitors had been carved
upon it. The part which fell ON the
9th composed only half of the
original rock, the rest having fallen
in. On Saturday, Jan. 1, 1929, a
surface of the rock, supposed to be
the size of half an acre, forming the
bed of Maiden Walk, broke loose
and was precipitated into the inn
mense chasm below. The crash
was heard for a defiance of five
miles, and the effect in the immedi-
ate neighbOrhOod resembled the
shock Of an earthquake. The water
running under the bank is supposed
to have caused the final fall The
shock when the rock struck the Wa
ter was distinctly felt three miles
from the fall. Several trees that
stood on the rock are now seen
standing in the river as erect as
when in their original places on the
rock,

OUR dispatches announce the
death of Robert Dale Owen, l.. l.. D.,
at his cottage on Lake George. He
was the eldest son of Robert Owen,
the English social refOrmer, and
with him came to the United States
in 1923, when he was 10 years old.
His birthplace was New Lanark,
Scotland. He allied himself with
the Democratic party, representing
those political views in Congress
from 1913 to 1847. He took a prom
inent part in the organization of the
Smithsonian Institute, and was one
of the first regents. In 1858, he was
appointed by President Pierce,
Charge PdfdireS at Naples, where
he remained until 1853. Mr.. Owen
was a pronounced spiritualist and
socialist. He wrote several works,
among them ''New Views of SOcie-
ty," "Hints on Public Architec-
ture' published by the SmithsO-
MAN Institute "FOOtfalls on the
Boundaries of another World, ""The
Wrong of Slavery and the Right OF
Emancipation," Beyond the
Breakers" and ''Threading my
Way" of these, "FOOtfalIS on the
Boundaries of another World" is
the principal work. In 1874 or 1875
Mr.. Owen became insane and was
confined in an Indiana asylum. 1t
was thought at the time he was per-
manently afflicted, but he subse-
quently recovered his mind and
died in possession of all his faculties.

the terrible mistake that they we're dealing
Justice to a criminal, when in fact they were
only gratifying the remorseless passion of

To Justify such acts is to encourage one of
the worst enemies TO the peace Of society that
could exist in any State; and, therefore, we
have no word of justification or pallation for
lhcm. We know we have and will incur

condemning them; but as Il journalist, we

The killing of Laws, in Fast Feliciana,
was an assassinatian similar 10 that Of Gully,
and we hope his murderer will be punished.
We cannot conclude these remarks without
saying this much for the South: There are
no more murders here than ia the Northern
States, although We are generally accused

GREENB.ACKS rs. GOLD.

This question is going to be vigorously
and the contest will be between numbers and
wealth The masses are and should be OPP
posed to the contraction policy, while the bond
holders favor ii; they want the circulating
medium to be the gold which they receive in
interest on their bonds, because they can then
control it to their own advantage. The
masses want circulating medium indeed
and not in name They prefer even high
priced goods, with money TO buy with, to low
priced goods with no money to purchase them
with
it remains to be seen which will have the
greater influence with Congress, money or
numbers. As general thing heretofore
money has had the decided advantage; bu.
we still have some hope that our Congress
has been sufficiently purified to act from a
sense of duty to the people; to be influenced
by motives of patriotism instead of cupidity
and if it has it certainly will refuse 70 do the
people so great injustice as to remote from
circulation so much of the currency as will
leave them nj The mercy Of those who have
hoarded up the gold Of the country and those
who, with them, have obtained complete
control of II by the purchase Of gold interest
bearing bonds.
Money is a great power. and can purchase
many votes and control great bodies, but i
cannot purchase enough votes 20 overcome
the popular feeling that is being developed
against the speedy contraction Of the circu
latins medium; and congressman who are
not actuated Ivy patriotic motives would dc
well to bear This fact in mind. Bond holder:
and gold hoarders may scott this movement
and treat it as insignificant they may ever
accept the defeat of the movement in Ohio
when it was in its incipicncy, as an evidence
of weakness; but they will soon learn that i
is daily gathering strength and will soon SWEEP
the country with resistless force.
This article was not intended as an arru
mint in favor of the movement, but merely
to designate our future course in the pemises
and in announcing the fact that we are hence
forth with the movement heart and soul, w,
ask our readers who may thinl: they difIe
with US on this subject to wait until we give
our reason for adopting the course befor'
condemning it too strongly. We will not b.
long in giving our reasons, and may convnc'

LAWLESSNESS.

When communities or individuals are under
the influence of undue excitement, they are
in no condition to be reasoned with, for reason
is de,hroned, and an attempt TO reason with
them is construed into an attack upon them,
which they repulse with spirit of passionate
violence. 1t is worse than useless under
such circumstances to remind them Of the
inevitable evil that results from bad pre-
cedents, for it is only liable to drive them
further into excess. Hence, we have refrain
ed from expressing or opinion Of the lawless
acts that occurred in Kemper county, Miss,
and East Feiciana parish, La. until the ex-
element abstcd and the passions Of the people
of those sections hal somewhat subsidized,
for our object in abiding TO such things is not
to excite controversy or add fuel to the flames
of execrable anger and revenge, but to ac>
complish good to the community by condemn
ing excess and intoxicating the principles Of
benevolencc, forbearance, justice and honor,
and dee respect for law.
We deprecate the manner in which the
press and the people generally are disposed
to discuss these matters, particularly the
custom of mixirg them NJ with politics and
turning deeds of bloodshed into movements Of
political strategy. If they are political let
them be so-neithcr party can be responsible
for the folly of its adherents who will shed
human blood under the influence of political
excitement, for no party organization can be
under the control of leaders who would be so
foolish as to suppose that mnrder would help
the cause of their party. But to return to the
subject proper under consideration. We
deprecate the presentation Of such matters
under false colors, and we deprecate the
quasi justification or at least palliation ty the
press of one of the darkest crimes that ever
blackened the annals of Mssissippi's history
The murder of Gully was a terrible crime
but the avenging Of his death was worse be-
cause the death ponalty was not only inflicted
upon probably innocent man by violence
but a tender girl, who could have had nc

was murdered at the same time, while other.
