A ST. JosEEH, Mo-, dispatch,
of the third inst, reports the
killing of the notorious Jesse
James, at his home, a small,
frame shanty, in the southwest
part of that city. Jesse James
had lived with his wife since
November last. Robert and
Charles Ford, two of his gang,
had their headquarters at his
house. AT 9 o'clock in the
morning, when Jesse took off
his belt and laid his pistols on
the bed, Robert Ford sprang
up behind him and sent a bullet
trough his head. The Fords
claim that they are detectives,
and that they have been on
James track for a long time.
No doubt whatever is enter
tanned about Jesse James hav-
ing been killed The body was
carried to an undertaken, where
it was prepared for burial and a
photograph was taken. James
wife telegraphed to his mother
the news of his death.

The Huntsville Item gives a
synopsis of the report of the
superintendent of the peniten-
tiary and remarks that every
year from so to 100 youths are
received who should be inmates
OF a house of correction, rather
than the penitentiary. The
penitentiaries are getting to be
an elephant on the hands of the
state. The superintendent
thinks that by the Ist of IAN
uary there will be at least 25oo
convicts. The Item thinks that
the establishment ofthe whip
ping post will be the best and
most practical measure for re-
lief" 1t certainly has one great
merit-its cheapness. When it
is considered that the criminal
courts and the prosecution of
criminals cost the counties. at
the lowest calculation, one-half
of their revenue and are also a
considerable expense to the
state it is certainly about time
some measure of relief was be-
ing sought.

A NEW departure in Journal
ism was made by the Cincinnati
Enquirer a few days ago. 1t
went to press without a line Of
editorial matter. The entire
paper was devoted to news and
comment. The Dallas Herald,
a paper given to lengthy editor
ials, says the Enquirer is to be
commended for this act, as the
press have to keep up the miser-
able custom of writing and pub
fishing long editorials because
it is custom. The Herald says
that such matter is seldom read.
A paragraph of a few lines will
md twenty readers where a half
column article will not find two.
People nowadays do a good
deal of thinking and iffurnished
with the news they will speedily
make up their own opinions.

The Houston Age publishes
a recipe for having a good
political record. The way to
do it is to vote the straight
democratic ticket at every cleo
ton. Never scratch. Strict
party dicipline is all very well
as far as it goes, but there is
now great many men who are
good democrats in the main,
but who viii not vote for every
man who may happen to be
nominated by a democratic
convention. Conventions have
been so abused that they have
to some extent lost their poten-
cy. It IS a disagreeable fact
that such is the case and if con-
ventions are to be restored to
their old time usefulness the
abuses that have crept into
them must be eliminated.

The state treasurer has sub
mitted a supplemental report
mainly to give a statement OF
the recent purchase of bonds.
The main purchase of the treas
urer is constituted in 7o2 $1,000
7 per cent. bonds, for which he
paid so82,ooo. These bonds
were payable in 1904. With
out giving the figures in detail,
the total saving by paying
them now, or rather buying
them in is, S8I6.657. Had the
bonds been allowed to run till
maturity, the interest would
have been $4,000 per year.
Now the question may be ask
ed, what has posterity done for
those Of the present day that
they should be taxed and their
money used for the benefit OF
those who are to come after us.
Those now living are doing
their full share in developing
the state for those who come
after them. Each generation
must, in the course of nature,
take care of itself, and the
bonds being issued might have
been allowed to run till matu-
rity.

GEN. SHERMAN was given a
public supper at FL Paso the

in return, the General, who,
it seems, is an adept in the art
Of fiattery, gave the FL Pasoians
a large dose of "tafy." He
said that FL Paso would be-
come a large city, commanding
the trade of Mexico as far as
her capital. The people, of
course, enjoy this bit of "taffy,"
and believe every word that
the General said.

The San Antonio Times says
that twelve months ago the
mossbacks could be found on
the streets with their hands in
their pockets bemoaning with
one another the sad fate that
awaited the city when the rail-
roads were extended westward,
predicting the ruin of the town
and its total loss of trade. The
3ilroads have been extended
westward hundred of miles and
are daily pouring their traffic
into town. San Antonio now
enjoys a prosperity and solid
advancement such as has never
been known in the history of
any city in the state and but
few cities in any country.

HARKIsoN county is largely
republican, having a. very large
colored population. Up to
within a year or two the re-
publicans have elected their
county ticket. AT the last
election the good citizens Of
the county formed a combine
ton and the result was the
busting of the chronic Office
holders, and the election of
good men; since then quiet and
prosperity has held supreme
sway in the county. The Mar
shall Herald, in a recent issue,
asks, will the radicals run a
county ticket ?" It thinks that
II they do they will certainly be
defeated; that their day and
time has passed, and that the
intelligent men white-who
led the party, are now heartily
tired and ashamed Of their past
acts.

evil, but without effect: Now,
however the Old Dominion pro-

allowed by law, and that a one
acre public field be sancti6ed to

Apathy and Grumbllng:

Under the caption Lament
able Indifference" the San An
tonic Express alludes to the re-
suit Of a late election held in
that city. A proposition was
voted on involving one hundred
thousand dollars, yet, out Of
2oI4 voting taxpayers, on 2o4
went to the polls and voted. If
the measure approved does not
meet the approval of the 1900
and odd taxpayers who did
not vote, they will not be near
as recreant in grumbling as
they are in voting.
In this respect San Antonio
is not alone. There is entirely
too much indifference, not to
say apathy, on the part of
Taxpayers in selecting their
candidates for office. If the
race is a free one, the race is
usually a scramble and good
men hardly ever care to enter a
scramble for Office. Candidates
are self-nominated and the
voter is frequently left to choose
from among a lot of incompe-
tents. There is sometimes no
choice at all, one being equally
as unified for the position as
another.
In a few months more, the
people of this county will be
called upon to vote for candi-
dates for county officers the
question yet to be decided is,
how shall the candidates be got
before the people. Conven-
lions have, in the past, proved
almost total failures. There is
a settled conviction growing in
the minds Of many Of the very
best citizens, that the day and
time has passed when politics
should cut any figure in the
election of county officials.
There is also a conviction that
we need good county officials.
We have an abundance of the
very best material, and a con-
siderable majority Of the voters
of the county would willingly
vote for men Of character and
standing, provided they can be
placed before them.
In a free race, if a good man Of
fers, the public is very apt to
discern the fact, and, when the |
vote is counted, the best man
viii be found to have received
The largest number of votes.
Conventions, as run latterly,
nave been mere machines for
he confirmation Of states made
out by a few politicians months
n advace. As it will be time
enough to bring out candidates
or county officers in August or
September, those interested
viii have plenty of time in
which to consider of what
curse they viii pursue, but
whatever is done, there should
re harmony.

Will not a thorough exami-

some good to the people ? The
article on the recent purchase
of state bonds at a premium Of
sI.4o, in the BANNER, Of March

that the subject viii be continu-
ed by it until all the financial
operations of our authoratives
are fully stated, discussed and
understood by the people.
To facilitate that object your
correspondent submits some
points and views, more as en-
quiries, inviting that information
and discussion than otherwise.
According to his understanding,
the amount of the states public
debt is 5000, 900, OF which less
than $4,000, 900 is held by cred
itors ontside Of the state; the
balance is in the treasury
vaults of the state and belongs
to the common school and
the university funds. These
outside bonds were worth SI.Io

unless it was for a very short
