ElectrOcuted,

SluS olHS, new 1Ofk, May O. =
Carlyle Harris, the young medical
student whose trial and conviction in
New York City for the poisoning of
Helen Potts, to whom he had been
secretly married, and attracted SO
much attention, was electrocuted in
the prison here today.
The death warrant was read at
$50. The reading had 10 visible
effect on the condemned man. Half
an hour later the prison chaplain
spent an hour with him. Then one
of the medical examiners visited him
and found him showing some signs
of nervousness, but nothing more.
Harris did not ask for morphine or
any stimulant, but wanted a couple
of oranges, which were given him.
He was shaved and had his HAIR cut
at 1876 and put on a new suit of
clothes.
At a quarter past twelve the wit
nesses were conducted to the execu-
ton chamber and the death flag
placed in position to hoist.
The test of the apparatus had al
ready been made by the electrician,
showing a voltage of 1,700 and ev-
erything satisfactory. Harris was
placed in the chair aud the execution
took place at 1910.
The witnesses numbered twenty
seven, consisting of seven physicians,
ten newspaper men, ten State officials
and friends of the Warden, who
arrived In the execution chamber.
The witnesses took seats in semi
circle around the death chair, and
everything being in readiness, two
keepers brought Harris into the
chamber accompanied by the chap
lain. He looked pale as he entered
the room, paused an instant on the
threshold and calmly surveyed the
assembled witnesses. One of the
keepers indicated the chair to him,
and without even glance of curiosity
at the death dealing machine, he
stepped forward, took his seat, and
as he did SO requested permission to
speak. This was accorded him. He
said, speaking as if every word cost
him a great effort;
81 have no further reservation to
make. l desire to say that l am
absolutely innocent" and then set
tied back in the chair and then
electrodes were quickly attached,
the signal was given, the lever click
ed sharpely and the form of the con-
demned man stiffened till the straps
creaked, while 1,760 volts passed
through his frame. At the end of
two seconds the current was reduced
to loo volts, which was continued
ffty>four seconds longer, when
Harris was pronounced dead. As
the current was fully shut off the
body dropped back limp. An exam
ination showed no signs of life, and
it was evident that death was in
stantaneuuI. The execution was
the MIST successful. His relatives
will take the body away this after
noon.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

Three great failures announced on
Wall street in one day, the wires tell
us, caused mighty panic. Shrewd
men have been looking for those
things now for two years. A great
many good men have actually hoped
they would come, to see if that par
ticular host of money-changers could
not be taught a little wisdom. OF
course there is danger when those
things begin to happen of forcing
bankers, East and West, to tie up
their reserves and try to increase
them, which gives more and more
stagnation to business, more and
more congestion to trade. If the
mischief could be confined to Wall
street itself, the grief of that partic-
ular section would be heard of with
dry eyes all over the Nation, because
their treatment of the great mass of
workers and producers of the coCn-
try during the last fifteen years has
been simply brutal. They have seen
property decline in value exactly as
much as silver has declined. They
have utterly refused to recognize the
cause: More than that, when the
cause has been pointed out to them
they have charged dishonesty to
those who have insisted that the
right should be done. The money
changers of modern times in the
great cities are ineal descendants of
of the Temple with whip of cords.

standard of Value.
IRnlilmnre Snn.l

One of the clevorest Of recent publica-
tions on the monetary question Is little
book OF thirty-two pages bv Lewis IL.
Blair, OF Richmond. Va, on "A Standard
OF Value" considered in its relation TO
currency. The expression standard OF
value" Mr. Blair holds. Is absurd. There
can be no general standard" no one
thing to gauge all other things; and
value" is a tluctuating thing, depending
upon the varying opinions Of individuals
and countries. There is no natural stand
ard of value, and an artificial or legislative
standard of value Is impossible. Tempo
rary exchsngeability does not imply IN
trinsc value. and To try to make 1t by law
compulsory standard Is TO invite dlsas-
err.
The solution of our monetary problem.
says Mr.. Blair. is in hands of" Let the
government stop tinkering with gold and
SILVER. 1t need not provide people with
il needs TO provide them with thread or
iron or ice. The government should quit
undertaking to say what is to be legal
tender" and quit trying TO determine
ratios. II might well quit coming

terprise, but if it runs a mint II
should confne itself 10 certifying by IT'S
stamp the weight and fneness Of its coins.
Private interest may be trusted 10 get the
best money If the government will only
quit interfering TO say that tins or that

saws MIR. Blair, lis the true doctrine 80 far
az the government is concerned. just so
far as the government attempts TO say what
is money and TO make money it botcnes

The Income of Men Of Families.
FE~x nfanstrh

When our congressman. in reply TO in
quiries, seem almost unanimous in favor
of an income-tax. il seems that before ac-
ton Is taken on the subject that our citi-
zens should express their views with the
object of making such law. If necessary,
as unobiectionsble. impartial and equita-
bic as possible. Under our own laws the
income-tax as imposed is very unrsason-
able and especially obnoxious to large
and important class OF our citizens and to
the very class that the unanimous senti-
ment OF mankiRd declares the most
valuable--that Is TO those who have large
families. A single man or . man and wife
can subsist very comfortably on a small
income, whereas man with q family Of
children and the great expenses eonse-
quent can. by constant bard work. barely
maintain them in ordinary necessa-

As soon as another il laid aside he leaves
