4 COOP ILLUSTRATION The evils OF IA
DEPRECATED paper currency are well Illus
trated by "A letter from ConStantinOple 10
the New York Tribune. The Turkish
Government has undertaken TO provide
bread for the people at reasonable price
and has surrounded the business with
some restrictions 10 accomplish that phr-
pose. No one is able TO do business, be-
cause the paper money which has con-
stantly deprecated IN consequence OF new
issues and fuctuates so widely that no one
can buy or sell with it. The Government
fixes prices for bread, but the bakers will
net make 1t for that price. so thousands
suffer. The correspondent says
Il saw 4 Turkish girl of nineteen or
twenty standing near bakers shop yes
terday with wrath in her eye. Her veil
had fallen. and so, in fact, had her outer
trantle. Her face was finely nodded, her
eve black as Jet. Her cheeks were flushed
with excitement. and her nostrils were
dilated. The trouble was that she has
| been able 10 earn five piastres day with
which to buy bread for her mother, two
small children and herself. At the begin
| ming of the war bread was one and three
| Quarter piastres per oke, and Ii required
| two okes of bread every day for the family.
As the paper deprecated the price of bread
| was increased, but her wages remained hive
! piastres a day. as before. Yesterday the
poor girl was informed by the baker that
| the price OF bread had been raised To five
piastres the oke. Still she earns only five
piastres per day"
This Is the Old story-simply another
repetition which history is making. The
Government could issue paper money to
any extent, but il had no power 10 give 1t
value With every fresh issue its purchas-
ing power was reduced. Still people could
not get money enough TO purchase what
I, food they need. since the price OF bread
alone, and not the price of labor, Was ar
fected by the inEation Of the currency
Still there are people who Claim 10 believe
that Congress can issue paper notes in any
amount and make them pass at par fol
real mcney.-B0ston Journal

whole story OF Democratic economy in q
single sentence. it consists IN reducing
CLERKS, cramping consuls. and turning out
ministers" but when Southern claims
come up before these members, lit is as
inevitable as that water runs down hill,
mat they will vote for them. and will advo-

not dare to 20 home and lace their coDsti-

House. For. unless NJ. whitthorne lie a

Cox's antics are supposed to be manifesto

iority seem to have walked away from the

BAL puts il: "The Democratic House of
Representatives has illustrated its ideas OF

Withholding the appropriations necessary

ness, aud Iavishing the treasury upon rebel
claimants. and upon Investigations that

The Anderson Case.


| NEW ORLEANS, March Is. The Supreme
! Court room this forenoon was crowded
with persons anxious to hear the decision
! In the case of the State VS.. Thomas &. An
| dersnn, convicted in the Superior Criminal
eonrt, tor publishing as true forced and
( counterfeited election returns from the
1 Parish ot Vernon.
Chief Justice Mannin,- read \ very
lengthy opinion in the ease. aud after re-
viewing the charge, verdict and sentence of
the court, be took up two OF the exceptions
as being the only ones necessary - con
slider ia rendering a judgment. They were
that there had been no preliminary eNami-
nation and that it i not practice TO pros
ecute by information. Both exceptions
were dismissed. The first upon the ground
that Il preliminary examination j. not -
sential, and the second because the prose
Curiou by Information has been common
rule ia criminal prosecutions for many
years.
The exception TO drawing the jury & also
dismissed on ground that the violation OF
the spirit Of the law i not pretended rela-
tive to the offense itself. The Court gave
an abstract of the election law, detailing IT,
requirements. The exact method p'escrib-
ed IN the law was fully described. The
record offered ia evidence did not conform
with that mentioned 10 the Information.
The document offered was the ''cou>p'i-
dated statement" certified by the register
of voters and not the Original returns.
The statute of our State does not attach
much value to this consolidated state
ment' The original returns not being al
tered would not change the result of the
election and interfere with the Interests Of
the people.
The paper offered in evidence i not the
paper charged a. being forged. H. order
TO be a forgery that which II is alleged i
fal~iied must, if true. be legally capable OF
committing a fraud. No where in the law
is a consolidated return required a dec
laration OF the result. and its alteration or
modification can in no way affect an cleo
ton. II a consolidated return were forged
and the Returning Board complied with
the law and made their statements from
the Commissioners returns no injury could Z
result. II does not appear that any paper
had been forged that Is calculated. with a
compliance with the law to change the re-
suit. l. Is the essence OF tie crime that il
should be committed by public officer
ard Oh a document which would change
the result OF the election. This was not
done.
The letter Of John sherman. STANLEY

The SAVAGE MURDER TgIAL.-I The
theory of the defence in the case OF state
". James Savage, Oh trial al Augusta for
the murder of his wife, is that Mrs. Savage
died of well known but somewhat rare
disease known Is hemmorrhIgjc purpurd.
Drs. Hill, Croker and Martin of Augusta,
all testify that the woman had this disease.
aud that, in their opinion. it vas the cause
OF her death. The spots upon the surface
of the body. resembling bruises, are
SYMPTOMS OF this disease. Savage was
drunk when his wife died. and did not
know a,terward what he had done, and
the appearance Of the body tended 10 show
him and everybody else that his wife had
been beaten to death. Abuse. the doctors
said, would hasten death, but blows ill.,
dicated were not such as OF themselves
would prove fatal. DR.. Hill, on cross
examination. said he could distinguish
spots OF purpura from bruises. This de-
fence was a surprise to the attorney Tor
the prosecution. The arguments were
made yesterday aad the case given to The
jury last night.
