Sixty-seven million people, it is
saids constitute this great republic
and all of them, except few hundred
who constitute the great sugar trust,
paying tribute to that institution
helpless as young turkeys in wet
grass. And what is true of the sugar
trust is true of all other trusts; the
millions exist to pay millions to the
few that they may get and hoard
more millions to fasten the shackles
all the faster on the hundreds of
millions Of people yet to come.

In the past two years the govern
ment has bought 100000, 900 Of
bonds, at o cost Of 1921, 53s, 1866. Il
has bought 1000, 900 of bonds that
are not payable for nearly twenty
years yet. and has paid $1O3, OOO, 900
for them. making a bonus of S23, 00O,-
900 given to the bondholders by the
people to retire bonds not due until
1907. and bearing only 4 per cent.
interest Money is worth to the peo-
pie 8 psr cent. but to call in 4 per
sent bonds We have given away
s2S. OoO. 600 in two years. All told
shs bonus is So. 100000. We do
not believe that Congress has q right
under the Constitution to give this
bonus to the bondhclders. Congress
10 invested with power to lay taxes to
pay debts and provide for the general
welfare. This bonus is no part of the
debt nor does it contribute TO the
general welfare to give it away to the
bondholders. The Banner is unal-
tsrabiy opposed to such methods.

The N. o. Picayune of 10th ult
in an article ON 'EThe Official Report
on the Bonds Steal" concludes as
follows:
These facts being explained the
amount of the fraud perpetrated upon
the State and people can be summar-
lied as follows:
Mechanical and Agricultural College
bonds Illegally used -$27S 40O
Consolidated bonds exchanged for
new bonds ordered burned, but
traudulently reissued. . 25 1000
Unissued constitutional bonds prom
erly signed and sealed, stolen
from the treasury. As, 400
Total illegal bonds outstanding. $757, 900
This amount, added to the $40, 900
claimed to have been paid by the
State as interest on the fraudulent
bonds, aggregates a total as far as
definitely known of S827,OOO
Although the full amount of unis-
sued constitutional bonds that were
properly signed have disappeared
from the treasury but small mum
Der have been discovered in circula.
ton here, but it is possible that
many of them are pledged to banks
or private parties to secure loans, or
have been put in circulation away
from here.

Death of a Famous Novelist.

William Wilkie Collins, the novel
list, died in London on the 23rd ult.,
aged sixty-6ve years.
If novelists could be classified, like
other phenomena of nature, the place
of Wilkie Collins would be at the
head of the class in the second rank
of novelists. He was not a great
writer like Thsckery, nor a great
humorist like Dickens. He breathed
no living soul into any of his charac-
tiers. He created no such as Beckey
Sharp, or Col. Newcome, or Little
Nell, or Pickwick, or Sam Weller
The nearest approach he ever made
to such standard was with Count
Fosco in the ''The Woman in White"
and Captain Wagg in ''No Name. y
All the other characters he ever drew
were mere marionnettes moved by
strings and wires. It is not the
dramatis persona of his novels that
hold the interest of the readers. No
person cares cent about any of them,
SO far as they are individually con,
cerned, but he has tremendous Gu.
riosity to solve the mystery that sur
rounds them all. Therein was the
power of Wilkie Collins. He was the
best constructor of plots among all
modern writer's. He was one of the
best story tellers in the English Ian
guage. From the first chapter to the
last the reader is kept perpetuaily on
the alert to discover how it will all
turn out. His interest is excited al.
most to the very last line. But when
the story is read and the puzzle solv-
ed, it has no further attraction for
the reader. 1t is a sucked orange
Neither the style nor the character
induces a second reading.
A sound-minded novel reader can
read Scott, Thackery and Dickens
every year or SO, and enjoys them al.
most as much as at the initial read
ing. But it is not SO with Collins.
One has to forget the plot before he
can read any of his stories for the
second time. The greatest of his
novels is the "Woman in White" a
most wonderfully fascinating story.
Next to this probably stands "The
Moonstone," although "Armadale, f"
'.Poor Miss E'inck" and ''The New
Magdalen" have their own excellences,
and a marked degree of originality.
The best of his stories will be read
for many years to come. Whether
they will excite much interest late in
the twentieth century is doubtful, but
there can be no question that if they
are read they will be read with all the
absorbing interest that readers feel
in them to-day.
