ONE WOMAN'S SHAME.
1t Leads to Her Death and an At
tempt at Assassination.

1t Leads to Her Death and an At
tempt at Assassination.
COLUMBUS, o.. Feb. 2S.-Sunday
night, Feb. 2, Miss Psyche Hollis, a
beautiful young lady at Cincinnati.
died at boarding house in this city, as
her attending physician, Dr. Alexander
Neil, said of heart failure. Dr.. Neil
was the man upon whom an attempt
was made last night of assassination
The permit for the removal of Miss
Hollis body to Cincinnati was signed
by DR.. Neil, along with the health Off
GERS here, which stated that the body
was that of Mrs. James III. Gordon, who
had died of heart failure. The body
was delivered to an undertaker's e5tab-
lishment in Cincinnati, horribly con-
torted i'm death. The coroner there
on examination found she had died
in a mysterious manner, and is
still investigating the matter.
Miss Hollis brother found in the
formers room two letters from one
George w. Scharf, of CINCINNATI. which
conveyed the startling information that
his sister had been betrayed. Scharf
and Hollis met, got into fight and
were arrested. Hollis then insti-
tuted inquiry, came to Columbus and
found Seharf had been here and that his
sister had mysterouSly died. DR.. Neil
says he attended her only once Sunday
night and prescribed only for heart
failure. The attempted assassina-
ton of DR.. Neil last night is
believed to be an outcome of the
Young girls death, as her brother has
had detectives here looking up her
death, and has said he would make it
hot for those any way connected with
her rain and death. DR.. Neil resides in
an extreme distant part of the city from
where tie unfortunate young lady
led, an d there were scores of doctors
carer her place of boarding.

and provide against the danger Of Nor
monism, even if such danger existed.
But aside from all other c0nsidera-
tions, we have reached period in our
national history when it is no longer de-
sirable to have territories or maintain
territorial governments, except in the
District of CClum bia. These appendages
10 the nation impose great responsibility
upon the federal government and very
considerable expense. 1t is right that
the national government should be en-
tirely relieved of both the responsibility
and the expense. Furthermore, it is a
right belonging to American citizens, in
whatever part Of the national domain
they may reside, to have full and abSo-
lutte control of their local affairs. with
out the interference of federal authority.
The policy of maintaining territorial
governments has been submitted to i'll
the past because of the peculiar neceSSi-
ties that existed. and not because the
policy was In harmony with the spirit
of our American institutions. Those
peculiar necessities no longer exist, so
that there is no substantial reason why
all the territories should not be adj
mitted to statehood; or if any of them
are not qualified for statehood, and not
likely to he in the near future, then
they should be annexed to some state.
1t is full time that the government was
getting rid of its territories, and with
the beginning of our second century
enter upon the career that the founders
of the government intended for us-to
be union of states. and not a mixed
union OF states and territories.

AN EFFECTIVE WAY,

Portugal is one of the countries that
is trying to develop industries on the
protection plan. While the custodians
and manipulators Of the system ill this
country are hunting around to discover
new expedients and devices, they may
find suggestion in the Portuguese scheme
to encourage the farmers to grow wheat.
A fax is placed on imported wheat, as
In this country, but to give this effective
ness the man who imports must show
that he has in store two bushels of the
homegrown article to every one he
wants to buy abroad. When the home
crop was sufficient for consumption this
regulation cut no special figure, and in
case of small deficiency it could be
complied with; but there has been a
great shortage In the crop, and the en-
tire supply is in the hands Of millers
and spectators. There is none to be
bought, and there can be no importa-
tons. The farmers who are so pro-
tected are hungry for bread, and the
poor people are in danger q starvation.
1t is harvest time for the spectators
Some cargOes of wheat have been
started there from this country. expect
ing that the government would suspend
the absurd tariff freak. There is moth
ing like being protected.
