Winchester, Ky, Democrat.)
Wednesday Judge Benton, as counsel for French,
got out another writ Of habeds corpus, and Judge
Lise being absent, it tried before Squire Bloom
as the nearest magistrate to the courthouse. The
ground OF the application that the prisoner was
suffering from pulmonary and heart diseases, and
that longer confinement would permanently injure his
health AMI probably cause death. These facts were
substantiated By the testimony Of two physicians,
and Squire Bloom admitted him 10 bail in the sum Of
ten thousand dollars, which was readily given two
Perry county men becoming bondsmen. Mr.. French

Mr.. Hewitt on the South.

In his opening address before the
meeting of the American Institute of
Mining engineers in New York the other
day, Mr.. A. S. Hewitt said:
'The South is practically virgin country, in which
the production OF is in its infancy; but the deye
opment is already phenomenal, and even il the other
regions ceased producing ore, the Southern States
could readily supply the deficiency. 1t is remarkable
also that the deposits OF hematites and red fos
siliferous ores with which the South is endowed, are
adapted to the basic process while the OF Lake
Superior are suited TO the 'acd process. Thus the
two sections are practically the compliments Of each
other in the WORT, Of supplying the needs of the
country for steel Ii will doubtless excite surprise in
the minds Of our visitors 10 find that the basic pro-
cess has made progress in this country. The delay
has been due partly the recent development OF the
Southern ores, and partly to the illibera spirit Ia
which the basic patents have been managed. But 1t
will no longer be possible to arrest the manifold
destiny OF the South which is now erecting large
number OF furnaces, the product Of which must find
market through the basic process"
Mr.. Hewitt hardly means to say that
the oasic process nus uiaue ho progress
in this country" The experiment at the
Henderson Works of Birmingham is re-
ported us successful and the steel made
by the same process at the new furnaces
at Chattanooga is reported of superior
quality. New furnaces are i'll process of
construction and within q short time there
will be a number of them in different
portions of the South. Mr.. Hewitt was
doubtless speaking comparatively.

Our Bristol contemporaries and our
Knoxville contemporaries are engaged in
a war of words, the two Bristol papers be-
ing arraycd against each other and two
Knoxville papers likewise. These contro-
vcrsies are provincial and out of date.
They are beneath the dignity of modern
journalism Time was when no two papers
could exist in the same town without con-
slant personal warfare between their
editors just as two cats are sure to fight
if their tails be tied together over pole.
But that time has happily passed, and a
number of newspapers may now carry on
business in the same city, just as q num-
Der of hardware or dry goods merchants
may conduct theirs, without BLACKBOARD
ing each other or flying Mt each others
throat. 1t is too village like fornewspaper
editors to be quarreling.

A VERY general swindle of the
Western Union Telegraph company
has been unearthed in South Dakota.
Nearly all the prominent offices are
involved, and the investigation shows
decided lack of moral tone among
the operators. The racket was work
ed by not checking prepaid dispatch
es to certain offices, the receiver at
the other end reciprocating in kind
and thus the swindle was covered.
There was regular circle comprising
all the leading offices, and the fellow
who did not come in was spotted and
soon got his walking papers. The steal
has been going on for years and has
at last been discovered. An ex-alder-
man of Sioux city and manager of the
Western Union at that point has
been indicted. A let or careIessly
left lying around gave the whole
thing away. The amount cribbed
has averaged $4,000 a year for the
| past five years.

is never the owner Of literary work in the
sense in which a person owns watch. The
watch is a distinct tangible object which
may be duplicated but cannot be appr0pri-
ated. The material in it and the work of
putting the material into shape are insepa-
rable parts of watch. But the writer
draws his facts and often his fancies from
writers who have gone before. Several of
the most popular writer's of the day are de-
Tending themselves with only partial sue
cess from charges of plagiarism. Even
where catching an idea does not descend to
actual plagiarism the inspiration of the
work is often drawn from other and older
writers. Considering how deeply novelists
and playwrights are indebted to libraries for
what they call their work, there seems to
be no injustice in limiting their ownership
of the joint product of their own and some
other writer's work to the country in which
the work is originally published.

sLIPPING INTO DEBT.

Mr.. 81. Z. Fairbanks of Petaluma. Cal.
has a financial problem under consideration
which is almost warranted to realize Bel
lamy'S picture of social and industrial life
as described In Looking Backward" The
proposition of Mr.. Fairbanks Is that the
Federal Government loan money to the
States on State bonds at per cent per year.
The State in turn could loan money to
municipal corporations. The States could
thus pay their present debts with bonds
bearing low rate of interest, and to NUM-
cipalltles which desired to make improve
ments the State could furnish the ready
money. All this volume of debt would be
represented by legal-tender notes issued by
the Government and payable in gold or
silver coin, or in Government bonds of the
United States, at the option of the Govern
ment- The 'at the option of the Govern
ment provision empowers the Government
TO pay its debts with its own notes, which
Is the equivalent Of authority to issue fiat
money. No Government needs to paw
debt with coin when it has the option of
paying its notes of hand with permanent
bond. Mr. Fairbanks financial scheme
seems to provide al easy way of getting
into debt combined with ability to stay in
debt While running into debt the times
would be good. If a man who has $4,000
worth of real property is tempted by low
rate Of interest to incumber it with mort
gage for half its value, lie has an easy and
perhaps jolly time while his money lasts,
but the period comes when. with no more
property than he had before, he has interest
to pay on the sum he had borrowed All
experience teaches that debts, public or pri-
yate, should be made payable in lawful
money at a specified time All Federal loans
are now payable at fixed date. There is
but one kind of lawful money known to the
civilized world, and that is coin of standard
weight and ineness, either of gold and
silver. Government credits are founded on
their ability to keep their promises to paw
in lawful money. OF course in a general
sense greenbacks are in this country lawful
money. In point OF fact they are, however,
but the convenient representative of law
ful money. They pass at par from hand to
hand because the Government that issued
them redeems them when presented with
coin. Our Petaluma finapcier will have to
try again. Making times good by running
into debt is not original with him. Govern
ments have tried 1t and individuals have
tried it, but neither Government nor indi-
vidual has made it work for any consider
able length of time

HOW MUCH

The Farmers Loan and Trust Company
have before them the question of the proper
allowance to make young lady of IS from
her deceased mothers estate The ques-
ton of how much she may properly spend
as it presents itself to the average girl of
that age Is how much she can get hold of.
Ii does not often occur to one that there is
any other use for money than to spend it.
When Howell Osborne was before the court
in petition to have his yearly allowance
of $4,000 increased, on the ground that
that sum was insufficient to support him in
the style becoming gentleman, several
dudes appeared in court and testified that
they could live on the sum young Osborne
thought insufficient. There appears, there
fore, to be variety Of opinion as to the
amount of money a young man should be
allowed from an inherited estate. Does a
young lady who will take her place in So
ciety need more or less than young man
OF like social position? Perhaps the readiest
way to find out how much young lady
should be allowed would be to interview a
score or two of rich girls as to the amount
they manage to get rid of

IN FULL UNIFORM.

The startling intelligence comes from
France that General Bou,anger not only in.
tends to return to that country but proposes
to make his entry in full uniform. He
probably expects to strike terror into the
heart of President Carnot and his Republic
can associates. What significance attaches
to the selection of military clothes on the
occasion Of his return is not known. Does
1t mean that he intends to fight for what he
eonceives to be his rights Does he go
back as General inviting the army to Join
IN the excursion? The resolution BouIanger
has come to is probably the result of a
choice between two evils. He either had TO
do something or cease to pretend to be any
body. He has for some time been conduct
ing an expensive campaign with no definite
purpose in sight. The parties who have
supplied him with money insist upon show
Of courage on his part as condition of fur
Their advances. Hence the man on horse

KNIT GOODS.

Under the present tariff knit goods have
been largely imported in the face of the
efforts of American knit-goods manufac-
turers TO displaee them. The Mckinley
bill raises the duty to point at which
American manufacturers can compete sue
cessfully. Opponents of the Mckinley
Tariff Bill object to the Increased duties on
The ground that American manufacturers
will put the difference in their pockets
This objection has been made whenever a
sufficient duty has been laid on an article
OF foreign production to cover the differ
ence in the cost of production in this and
in foreign countries. The free-traders as
sumo that there can be no competition
among American manufacturers. Expert
ence shows, however, that Americans are
quite ready to jump into business as soon
as there is profit In sight. If the pro-
posed duties enable Americans now in the
business to make good profits there will be
no trouble about finding capital to invest
in new factorips
