The Cost of a Slinht

From all accounts the Prince of Wales is
one of the most reckless gamblers in the
world. He is always in debt, and it is prob
able that he would be in debt if his income
were twice what it is. He has something
more than $500,000 year to spend, but
that amount is not enough for him. If the
Kansas alliancemen had the fixing of his
income he would have to be much more
economical, and even Georgia alliancemen
some of whom propose that the members
Of the commission entrusted with the settle-
ment of the state road betterment question
shall be paid for their services only 80 a
day-would propably grumble little at
the princes extravaganza if they had to
pay his bills.
1t is understood that the prince is
now in debt Co the amount of nearly g.
100000, and the queen, his royal mother,
has been compelled to go down into her
pocket for cash to prevent him from being
prosecuted by his creditors.
One of these creditors is rich Baron
Hirsch. The baron loaned the prince all
the money he wanted in consideration of
the prince honoring him with his society
once in awhile. In March the baron hired
magnificent villa at Monte Carlo and in
vited the prince to become his guest, and
the prince accepted. When the queen heard
of this arrangement she vetoed it, and she
vetoed it so emphatically that the baron
felt slightly hurt. He didn't like the idea
that the queen regarded him as an unfit
associate for the heir to the throne, and SO
he demanded the money the prince owed
him. The little slight put upon the baron
has cost the queen an amount that will lead
her, perhaps, to practice the most rigid
economy for many day.
OF course the queen would have permit
ted her ministers to ask parliament to pay
the princes debrs if such course would
have been advisable. Asking more money
for the prince, however, would have raised
storm, probably, that would have endan-
gered the princes succession. The English
people are beginning to think that they are
paying too much for royalty, and some
men of prominence are talking out loud
about it. If Albert Edward is wise he will
give up gambling and horse-racing and set
tie down to quiet, hum-drum sort of ex-
istence. Otherwise he may never be king.

Advices from Chile state that President
Balmaceda has become very tired of the
civil war and is constantly growing numsr-

and increasing tendency to fit. Borrowing
money in Europe has come to be almost an

his government is literally falling to pieces
for lack Of material sustenance. 1t looks
very much as if the insurgents ara going to

very valuable presents that Harrison re-

the fine facilities afforded Harrison for cul-
tivating his native taste for costly presents.

Mrs. Mary Z. Lease the woman who has
attracted a great deal of attention in Kan
sas and Other parts OF the country by her
speeches, spoke to a large audience al
Lithia Springs. Ga, on Monday. A special
dispatch says that she delivered speech
(Which no statesman might not have been
proud t. have called his own, one which
was as full of wisdom and strength as it
was devoid of malice and bigotry." Among
other things she asserted that class legisla>
ton had reduced 1.-THE money in circulation
from S54 per capita in 1884 10 about 50 "
now.
/ In our dispatches yesterday there was
published a statement, authorized by the
! Secretary Of the Treasury, which shows
| that the amount of money in circulation In
! 1850 was Sl3 So per capita; in 1868 1t was
| $50 50 per CAPITA in 1853 it was 1928 OF per
! capita; on Jan. last it was 1924 10 per
capita. Owing to gold shipments since
Jan. ! there has been some decrease in the
amount in circulation, but on Aug. l it
was S23 81 per capita.
These figures are official. and show how
utterly worthless Mrs. Leases statements
are. She says that in 1854 the amount
per capita in circulation was S54. The
treasury statement shows that there was
never any such per capita amount in cir
culation. There was. on Jan. l last, $24 10
per capita in circulation, and that was the
greatest per capita amount in circulation
at any time in the history of the country.
Mrs Lease said that there is now only
IS OF per capita in circulation. The treas
ury department says that there is 1913 81 in
circulation. Is Mrs. Lease better authority
than the treasury department. AS matter
of fact are not her statements relative to
the amount of money in circulation utterly
valueIess9 And yet she is said to have de-
livered speech that any statesman would
be proud to call his own. 1t would be safer
to assert that no public man who values his
reputation would venture to make state
ments such as are credited to Mrs. Lease.
And it is upon such statements as the
foregoing that Mrs. Lease bases her argu-
ments and her appeals. Ii she makes such
misleading statements about other matters
as she does about those relating t. the
amount Of moneyin circulation it is strange
that thinking men can listen to her with
patience.
There is no desire to treat Mrs. Lease
otherwise than kindly, but the amount of
harm her misleading statements do is so
great that they cannot be permitted to re-
main uncontradicted. Surely she must
know how incorrect her statements are. If
she does not she is certainly TOO ignorant to
be accorded the privilege of speaking in the
capital of the state, and if she does the privi-
lege should be refused without ceremony.

Convicts North and South.

The northern papers seldom miss an OPP
portunity to condemn the convict lease
system of the southern states, and to assert
that it is too brutal to be upheld by Chris
tian communities. 1t is true that the lease
system has Objectionable features, and the
southern people would quickly abandon it
if they could find very much better sys-
tenn.
While the lease system has Objectionable
features, however, it is quite certain that
under it convicts are treated no more bru-
tally than under the system which prevails
in some of the northern states. For in
stance, the Advertiser of New York, in its
issue of last Sunday, speaking of the treat
ment of convicts in the state prisons of that
state, said: mo punishment has been found
too severe, no ingenuity devilish enough, to
devise new means OF torture. The law per-
mitS tricing up with shackles by one
wrist, for serious offenses, but in Dan
nemora the keepers are a law unto them
selves. There they string up the weak,
the demented, the insubordinate and the
meek, without distinction. Nor does it re-
quire a serious infraction to demand the
horrors Of the rack. A convict who, in his
agony, attempts to move from hot fur
mace, where his skin is being blistered, as
correction is thrown into dungeon after
bsing beaten into insen sibility. and for days
lives without food or water. Suspen sion
from trapeze' with waxen cord sunk far
into the flesh of the wrists; freezing con-
vict, shaokled so that he cannot move a
muscle for twenty-four consecutive hours;
beating prisoners with clubs, fists. iron bars
while helplessly suspended, are few of the
many agonies inflicted, and of which there
exists ample and incontrovertible evil
dence."
Some horrible things have occurred no
doubt in the convict camps of the south,
but it is certain that there is in none Of
them any such systematic cruelty as, &C
cordIng to the ADVERTISER there is in the
state prisons of New York. Would it not
be advisable for northern papers to correct
the terrible abuses in the prisons OF their
own sections before expressing SO much
| horror at lesser abuses in the convict camp.

1 Jerry Simpson and the Third Party
Jerry Simpson was not quite so franz
/ when he was making speeches IN TINS s'a'7
/ as he has been since he left 1t. III NON
of his Georgia speeches did he advaca Ihe
third party movement. What he sA'd i7i /.
the impression that he was democrat anu
that whatever reforms were needed couiu
be obtained through the Democra &c party.
In Washington the other day no sn'"e ii''
true colors. When he was asked tue 4ue9U ioii
"WiH the alliance put preSiaeh'iai can
didate in the field next year" he answered.
s,Yas tha alliance is NJ to its neck IN politics.
Ton, satisfied from what | saw in the south
that we can easily carry several states upon
vi icb the democrats fancy they have frst
,,,lrtc,as,en And a little further along in
- +aIL h.. said: If we don't win ourselves
No., YEAR we will at least break up the Re-
rpblicau party. Then we can turn our at
tenti1n % the democratic. 1t is tougher
and harder to kill. But when the alliance
l,,p and the democratic lamb ID lie down
together the lamb will be OF the inside
Of the lion. Don't make any mistake about
that"
The MORNING NEWS has all along con-
tended that the purpose OF Simpson, PETER
and others is TO break up the Democratic
party in the south. And their plan to &C
complish this object is just what the MORN
ING News said it was. They expect to
control the election Of delegates to the
democratic state conventions in the differ
ent southern states and compel these con-
ventions to adopt the third party platform.
Mr.. Simpson admits that such is their pur-
pose in his prediction that when the alli-
ance lion aud democratic lamb lie down to-
gether the lamb will be inside Of the lion.
But perhaps Mr.. Simpson does not fully
understand the Democratic party in the
south. In Kentucky the other dav the third
party polled a comparatively small vote,
and nearly the whole of that vote came
from the Republican party. The demo-
cratic candidate for governor got larger
majority than his predecessor, Gov. Buck
ner. That does not look as if the third
party had hurt the Democratic party in
Kentucky.
And when the vote is taken in this and
other southern statesl democratic alliance
men will be found voting with the Demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. Simpson is Boosting too soon that the
third party has captured the Democratic
party in the south. The speeches he made in
this state were applauded, but il he had said
openly and frankly that he was trying to
lead the Democratic party into the camp of
the third party, there would have been
much less heartiness in the welcome he re-
ceived. He thinks be understands the tenn
per Of the people in the south, but the proba-
bilities are that he will suffer a very great
dlsap pointment in that respect.
