can be placed. At all events, ii the
bill should pass, the Administration VIII
do its best so to execute IL as
to secure retirement of the outstanding
8 ard 9 per cent bonds, and the prospect OF
success has decidedly strengthened Government
bonds and stiffened the price of other sounu
securities bearing high rates of interest IL Is
reasoned that if an untaxed bond bearing only
31a per cent can be placed at par other
good bonds which are not exempt from
taxation but pay over 6l2 per cent must
be worth over par. and that the tendency Will
be to adjust investments and loans 10 lower
rate of interest than has obtained hereto
fore in times of prosperity. The continued
ease of the money market, even though
business is exceedingly active, ana ne"
securities in great number are oelng OF
fered to buyers, is regarded as addiIiohal
evidence that the country has made permanent
progress toward such rates of interest as pre-
vail In Older countries. But it will not do TO
forget that the prosperity OF the nation ID
this. as in every other respect, depen9eS upon
the maintenance of the pabhc credi',
and mischievous legislation or extiavagant
appropriations by Congress would quickly
produce very disastrous effects The rate at
which money will lend can be reduced only
by such measures as invite and strongly at
tract bither the capital of other lands.

he called gentlemanly and high
toued homicide. To an average man.
calmly considering the circumstances, IL LAS
very mnch the aspect of murder, with very
decided color of premeditation. But IN VIZ
oinia il seems to be the prevalent belief that
although something is due to the iorinail.ie'
of law, and there is certain prOpiiev IA
afixing q mild penalty to Poindexters has'e'
still it would be very wrong TO treat TINS young
gentleman as a convict or felon. Ana 'he
bill in question is proposed in ORDER as
Ia stated, to mitigate the degradation
"of his sentence to the exemption from wear
"ing a felon's suit, so humiiating to a man OF
"hieh sensibilties, whose honor, in his own eyes
land in the eyes of his fellow-citizens' Is un-
"tarnished.n Strange what different views
there are of what constitutes untarnlsheu
honor. and what humiliates men OF
high sensibilities. This young man deho-
erately prepared himself for cowardly ana
brutal attack upon person unprepared and
unarmed. He further prepared mmsen 10

take to avenge the injury and he did IT,
II ia not unnatural perhaps, that man
who was brutal enough to horseWhlp announcer
on such proyocation, cod-bloOded enough to
arm himself against retaliation in Kind, ana
sufficiently cowardy to pull pistol against

sneak out of the consequences OF MS crime

Nobody thinks much of MIN now. but 1he
