way amenable to the law. This case
also emphasizes the danger flowing from
PharisRlsm, In It's liability to prosecute
those who crlticise Il. The possibilities
Of evil from this source cannot be over
estimated, for IL looks toward the sus-
preston OF free thought and an un-
trammeled press and the establishing Of
a moral, political, and religious despot-
ism. Briefly stated, the facts In the
case Of the Chicago editor are az follows:
In November Of 1889, Mr.. Caldwell pub
lished an earnest plea for "Martail
Purity" by Rev, @. f. Walker, q Congre-
gationRllst minister Of good standing.
The paper was not coarse or repulBive,
but an earnest plea for one Of the most
vital and noble reforms imaginable. No
notice was taken Of this publication by
either Mr.. COmstOcks agent in Chicago,
by Mr. ComStock or the postal authorl-
ties. Month after month passed, yet no
notice was taken; at last more than six
months after the publication Of Rev. O.
Z. Walkers paper, the editor of Ohristtoa
Life criticised the action Of the antl.vloe
society and the postal department in the
case of Mr. Harman. After this, how
ever, the publication Of Mr.. Walkers
paper seemed to assume In the eyes Of
our censors Of public morals criminal
proportions, and Mr.. Caldwell was
arrested, one Of the chief charges being
the circulation Of the paper on "MGrta1
Purity" published In November, 1889.
He tOas arrested in October, 1890, almost
a gear after the publication Of the paper
objected to by the censors. Now there
are two points emphasized in this case
which are worthy the serious consldera-
ton Of thoughtful people. II che post
office inspector at Chicsgo, CT Mr.. Com
stock, OK IL the postal department at
Washington, regarded this paper pub
lished in November, 1889, as obscene and
believed It came within the limits OF the
law, why did these three srgus-eyed
censoB Of public morals wink at the
Ofense for eIeUeN months and take no
step against the editor, until after he
had condemned the pOsto6lee depart

Ten Buildings Destroyed and tho White
House Injured-Only One Mar Killed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. pa terrific
wind and rain storm, amounting al
most to a hurricane, passed over this
city about 1890 o'clock to-day, doing
a great deal of damage to buildings, in
the ruins Of ten of which several peo-
pie were buried, and completely pros
trating telegraph wires.
The storm seems to have been quite
general. The worst damage was done
to the fine Metzerott Music Hall, the
walls of which were we'll advanced to-
wards completion and were at that
stage of progress when they offered
the least resistance to the storm. Inc
wind swept into the high walls OF this
building and part Of the structure
went smash, breaking into several
stores on F street, near 18th, adjoining
the MetZerott music store. One Of these
stores was occupied by George White,
ladies' tailor, and the second by GUIDE
& Brother, @nrists. Four persons were
in the rear Of Whites establishment
and were buried in the ruins. Three
persons were taken out not very Sc
riously injured, but life in Proprietor
Whites body was extinct when be
was reached. A number OF persons
had narrow escapes but the accident
fortunately occurred at noon, the hour
when the workmen and others were
at lunch.
A section of the stone balustrade
around the White House roof was
blown down and crushed through the
roof of the portico at the eastern en-
trance of the basement. The east por-
tico was also wrecked by the falling
stone. The accident caused a commo-
ton in the Presidents household, but
it was soon found that no one was in
! iured. The President was receiving
| the Minnesota delegation at the time
and his first action was to hasten to
the private part of the house to reas-
sure toe ladies Of his family.
Lightning struck one of the large
gas reservoirs Of the Washington Gas
Company in Georgetown. near the
water front, and snapping one of the
tall iron columns surrounding the
tank, the gas was ignited and OO,0OO
feet Of gas stored in the reservoir was
consumed before the fire had spent
itself. The gas company's loss is about
| $4,000. No insurance. Many build
ings were unroofed and number part
ly blown in. The total loss will con-
siderably exceed 100000.
The total loss in Washington will
aggregate S25O,O0O. 1t was found that
George White was the only person
killed. Reports received here from
Williamsport, Harrisburg, Altoona and
other towns in Pennsylvania and from
Baltimore northward along the New
Jersey coast to New York show that
considerable damage was done.

HIS FEARFUL ERROR.
A Drug Clerk Gives Morphine for Qninins-
The Rev. W. C. Lindsay's Little Girl
tho Victim.
ISpecial to Greenville News

Especial to Greenville News
CoLUMBIA, S. c., November 2l.-The
mistake of drug clerk last night
caused the death of little Maud Lind
say, the ive-year-old daughter Of the
Rev. DR.. W. G. Lindsay, pastor Of the
First Baptist church of this city, and
one of the most eminent divlneS IN his
denomination in the South.
The child had a slight fever Thurs
day night and her father administered
remedies. Yesterday morning she ap-
peared much better and during the day
was at play with her playmates, as
Joyous and happy as ever. Her parents,
however, fearing that there might be
relapse of fever, determined to give her
some quinine, 50 the father went to
Dr.. w. G. Fishers drug store for the
drug.
The clerk, W. L. Bratton, put up
three doses of three grains each, OF
what be supposed was the right medi-
cire. At the child's usual bed time,
between and o'clock, Mrs. Lindsay
gave her one of the powders. The
parents left the little girl and went to
church. When they returned at few
minutes past 10 glance was cast at
the bed where the child was sleeping.
It was noticed that she was c eatbly
pale. A hand was laid upon her fore
head, and she was found to be cold in
death. Physicians were hastily sum-
moned, but when they arriveGSound
life extinct. An examination the
remaining powders showed thf ey
were morphine instead Of fquiIing
Mr.. Bratton, who made the tes5tole
mistake, is heartbroken and has re-
signed his position. The case is under
going official investigation by the coro-
ner.
THE CLERKS MISTAKE.
COLUMBIA, November 23.-The jury
of inquest in the death of the little
daughter of the Rev DR.. Lindsay met
this morning, at the Court House, and
examined DR.. Lindsay and DR.. Talley.
The jury agreed upon the following
verdict: 1--WE ind that the deceased
came to her death from the effects OF a
dose of morphine administered oy
mistake, it having been purchased as
and being supposed to be quinine."

The candidates for the speakership

New York last week. Of course, they all
were treated superbly, but Crisp, OF
Georgia, had the best showing. Sena-
tor Hill is for Crisp. Ex-President
Cleveland says he is boosting none OF
the candidates. Evidently he is not in
favor of Mills. It would be a good
idea to elect good Western man to the

There Were Banks Prior to 1909.

To the Editor of the Herald anC
News: / certainly have no thought 0
replying to the fantastic and visionary
scheme of our mutual friend of Enoret
Plantation as developed in The He-alc
and News of last week. 1twould be ar
utterly useless expenditure Of time, ink
and paper. 1t would convince no one
for the very good reason that no one o.
sound mind and understanding believes
il such "twaddle," except the sage
himself, and he is not open to convic'
tion. His is an exceptional case. He
lives within the little nutshell Of his
own imagination, and it is so diminu,
tive in size that 10 external idea car
enter into it. Everybody else, in the
least acquainted with the financial his
tory of nations and peoples, know per.
fectly we'll that this paper money
scheme-this scheme for making some
thing out Of nothing-such as our
friend so ardently advocates, has been
repeatedly and thoroughly tested, and
has in every case resulted in dire dis
aster to the country trying it.
But wish to make a simple correc-
tion in our friends article as to little
matter of history, lest some Of your
readers might be misled by it, and
some of our alliance teachers hand it
down to a future generation through
their pupils as correct history. He
speaks of the bank Of Amsterdam,
founded in 1909, as the first bank ever
established. Now, if our friend were as
well up in history, both sacred and
profane, as I bad supposed him to be,
he would know that banks existed
long pCier 10 1909. If he were as as
siGDous in reading his Bible as he
seems to be in reading DR.. Macune's
organ for propagatiDg error and false
hood, he would know that repeated
reference is made TO the business Of
banking both in the Old and New
Testaments. Both the ancient Greeks
and Romans had their banking iDstitu-
tions, and their earliest origin is Oh
scured il remotest antlQ
But l would not carry our friend
quite so far back as that, lest he should
get on the subject OF Joseph and his
warehouses again. | would call his
attention, however, to the bank OF
Venice, founded if mistake not abou,
III, and which became very famous
financial institution. II was for cen
turies the admiration Of all Europe and
the East, aud continued in existence
without interruption until the final
overthrow Of the Venetian republic by
the revolutionary armies Of France in
1877. Then thee was the bank Of
Genoa, first projected in 1915, and
which continued for centuries one o.
the principal financial institutions 81
Europe, until finally plundered and
ruined by the armies OF the first N.po-
leon. The bank Of Barcelona va.
founded in l40l, and Others no doubt
might be referred to az existing prior
to that of Amsterdam in lG19. But nv
only object being 10 show that bank
ing is not such modern institution a.
our friend would have US believe,
need not do so. 1t has in fact existed
in all ages and among all civilized and
commercial peoples; and without it
commercial relations between nations
and peoples would be impossible. Nor
has the banking system, as such, ever
been regarded by sensible and inteli-

at L ". came down last night.
There have already been several con-
ferences and caucusses, and presume
there will be some hard work begun at
once.
All the members had not arrived last
night, and very little could be learned
as to what would be among the first
things to be done. It was very pro5a-
bic. however, that during this week a
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
will be elected. 4 member said to me
last night that he had come here for
work and he was in favor Of holding
this election at once, so that some work
could be done. Attorney General
Pope, Of Newberry, Judge Wallace, Of
Union. Associate Justice McIver, of
Cheraw, and Senator H. A. Meetze, OF
Lexington, are among tie prominent
candidates mentioned for the position.
Some persons think that General Pope
will be elected on the first ballot, and
then there is rumor that there Is
breach between the friends Of Senator
Meetze and General Pope, and the
chances are in favor of McIver or Wal
lace. Of course, nothing definite can
be known at this time. Ny opinion is
that Gen. Pope will be elected.
TIE question of the new county OF
Calhoun will be considered, and will
likely come up to-day, as it stands as
unfinished business from the last ses-
sion. A delegation of the friends OF
the new equity is here pressing the
claims.
The prohibition and anti-prohibition
fight promises to come up early and to
be heated contest. Hon. J. A. Sigh,
of Newberry, will have opposition fo1
the position Of railroad commissioner
r. Mayes Cleveland, Of Greenville, is
already here looking after toe place.
