Sentative Old saybrook.

The town of old Saybrook will hold a
meeting in a few days to rescind a vote
recently passed appropriating money for
the building of a lookup. Since the vote
was passed the sentiment of the town
has changed greatly, and now the ma
jority of the people believe that the erec-
ton of a building for the retention of
violators of the law would cast an odium
on the ancient town. 1t is seldom that the
need of such q building is felt in old Say
brook, and the people believe that a com
munity as orderly and law abiding a.
theirs can get along without it.-Hart-
ford Times.

Land which had lately bean appraised
by the acre as farm land was suddenly
held for sale by the front foot as build
ing lots. Enormous transactions in real
estate took place daily. People seldom
bought a single lot; they dealt in whole
SQUARES at a time. To be sure, there
was very little actual money handled in
the transactions. A small cash pay
ment was usually made and notes given
for the balance. The man who gave
the notes never expected 10 meet them;
the property was sure to rise in value
right along, and be would dispose OF it
at a profitable advance to some new
conner later on, leaving the latter to at
tend TO the final payments.
The same properties changed hand
many times IN a month, advancing in
price upon each transaction. Finally
the price reached the point whore the
first cash payment was beyond the
pocket Of the spectators. Then the
transfers stopped. The last man in the
deal "held the bag"
Basic City is now deserted. The spec
ulative bubble has collapsed. The spec
ulators have quietly stood from under
and the innocents are engaged in fgur-
ing ont where they are at. In other
words the Basic City boom was swim
die. 1t was conducted by outside
sharpers whose object was not develop
ment but speculation.
Still there are booms and booms, and
while Southwestern Virginia and Ken
lucky have been victimized West Vir-
pinia's blooms" have all been success
full, not only because they have been
honestly conducted by the citizens
themselves, purely TOR purposes Of devel-
opment, but because there was a solid
basis for them. Moundsyille, Central
CITY, Charleston, Kenova, Charles Town,
Fairmont, Morgantown, Buckhannon
and Camden-on. Gauley furnish speci-
mems OF West Virginia booms that have
been successful from the start. They
were honestly begun for purposes OF
development. No splurge was attempt
ed and no false pretenses made. Con-
seQuently no one has lost money by in
vestlng in them. On the contrary
values in these towns are steadily In
creaslng because the investors meant
business and not speculation.

COMING TO A GOLD BASIS.
Business Men and Merchants Likely t
Force it Before Long.


New YORK, July 15.-It has been re-
Vealed on investigation that the de-
mand for payment in gold for many
specialties in the drug trade is by no
means exceptional. Such action has
been very generally adopted by import
ers in other trades, and even domestic
manufacturers have either stamped on
their bills since July l, demand for
gold payments. or have been talking OF
doing so.
When 1t was suggested TO some OF
these merchants that their action might
be regarded as evidence OF suspicion
of the government, and not of the cur
rency, they replied that no one knew
what the government would do Con-
gresse convened they said, is one thing,
but the Pursuance of sound policy was
another.
Bankers, they said, "may consider
our action absurd, but they have dis
tinct ideas and tangible data for draw
ing conclusions, while we must forsee
dimly through sn obscured vision. II
we must pay in gold, therefore, we wish
to be in position TO collect in gold"
A member Of one prominent firm OF
importers and commission merchants
said that as drafts and bills Of exchange
for silks were paid in China in gold, In
case gold rose TO premium, payment at
gold rates void OF course have to be in
sisted on here. He thought it very i'm
probable, however, that gold would
rise to premium.

world. II is more than thirty miles in

A srARrLINe CONFESSION.

The turn given TO the Homestead
noisoping case BY the confession Of
GArrAGrER and DAVIDSON, whose tes-
timopy convicted HUeH b. DEMPSEY,
that they committed perjury under
prsssurs from tie detectives working
for the prosecutor is startling. As the
pinsburg Dlsptcb points out, such a
co}.sse0ou by it own showing diScredits
,.,ose makitog but it is OF so grave
a character e'hs it demands prompt and
thorough attention.
It's clear that there is nothing to be
gained to public justice by the cOntin-
ued incarceration Of an Innocent man.
Investigation should certainly be set on
foot 70 ascertain il there is any testimony
outside Of the phenomenal GALLAGHER
that will reveal the truth or iaisity Of
his latest version, or to find out If any
crucial test can be applied whether
be is lying now or was lying
'fn his testimony on the trial There
could be- 10 greater social calamity than
Athat a man guiltless Of crime should sui-
Ter a penalty by perjured evidence. The
Shirt OF Angio-Saxon law makes il fun
dapental that the escape OF the guilty
is asmaIler evil than the punishment Of
the Innocent. Every public gconsidera-
tion urges the use Of all means to siit
the story to the bottom and ascertain
the real truth. with a single view that
justice may be done TO the Innocent,
whoever they are, and punishment visit
cd on the guilty whether the crime is
that Of conspiring to poison or suborn-
ing false testimony
Too much care cannot be taken to In
vestigate the question in an impartial
spirit. In giving al the evidence its
proper weight, however, the difficulty
of the case is enhanced by the fact that
the statements Of self-eonfessed per-
iurer furnish very weak basis on which
either to send man 70 the penitentiary
or to reverse the findings Of a court Of
Justice.
