THE FIRST STRONG NOTE.


While the money policy of Eng
land, based upon the single gold
standard, yields prodigious advan-
tages to the government and to a
large body of rich men whose
wealth is in the form of credits, 1t
works upon the agricultural, man
ufactoring and laboring classes the
same sort of hardship that it does
upon the corresponding classes OF
this country. In spite of the fact
that the English farmer receives
for his wheat a price equal to
what is paid to the Californian
plus the cost of transport from
here to Liverpool, English agrl-
culture is in desperate state.
Lands have declined in value,
rents have fallen. and are gener
ally III arrears; and the condition
of the agricultural laborer is little
better than pauperism. In the
English world Of manufacture
things are no better. Scores upon
scores of factories are idle and
their workmen are living upon
charity. Other causes have con-
tributed largely TO this state OF
things, but the chief trouble is the
increase in the value Of gold re-
ie,ied in the low price Of every
thing else. In brief, TIE indus
trial effects of the gold policy are
the same in England as in this
country. The reason why we hear
less of them Is because the Eng
lish political life does not reflect
so quickly as ours does, the condl-
tons. necessities and demands OF
the people. The rich commercial
class rules the British Empire ana
the selfish interests Of commercial
wealth are served by the gold pol
icy. The interests of the land
owning aristocracy, OF the manu-
facturers, Of the factory operatives
) OF the farmers and of the farm la
borers are subordinated by the
ruling forces of English politics te

COMMENT ON 4 TEXT.

The president in his recent mes
sage to congress, said:
" He (the workingman) relies
for work upon the ventures OF con
fdent and cnntented capital. This
falling him his condition is without
alleviation, for he can neither prey
on the misfortunes of others nor
hoard his labor
On this text the Chicago Trib-
une makes the following COM
ment:
"NO more true remark was ever
uttered. The ventures of 'cOnfi-
dent and contented capital are
what furnish employment to work
ers in city and country. But the
president cannot deny that there
is no more sure way of impairing
this all-necessary confidence than
by holding out prospect Of large

for the sale of the products Of
American labor, and especially so
when that competition will be with
goods produced by labor that is
compensated on a far lower wage

ASCEN SION DAY,

Elaborate Celebration by the Knights
 Tempiar-Impressive Ceremonies.
 The ceremonies at the Baptist church yesterday under auspices of Apollo commandery No. II Knights Templar were all that could have been desired or expected. The occasion had been thoroughly advertised and some time before the hour of commencement the house was well filled. The service was delayed d short time on account of the late arrival of the Marianna delegation who were compelled to take the l:30 freight train. It was d few minutes after this time when the Knights ar rived at the church, when the follow ing programme was most excellently carried out:
 The Knights entered the church un- covered, and the Prelate. Rev. Sir AlonZo Monk. D. D., conducted the Eminent Commander, Generalissimo and Captain General 10 their stations, at the right of the altar, the colors at the left, all singing the professional hymn -"Onward, Christian Soldiers" choir, Invitation, Confession. Lords Prayer. Reading Psalms, VIII, XIV and XXI, "Gloria in Excelsis," Psalm, Gloria in Excelsis,n lesson, Ire Deum Laudamus," Apostles Creed, The collect for Ascension Day, The Litany of the Temple, prayer, The Anthem, The Sermon, closing prayer hymn, Alto solo, Mrs B. D. Hatchery chorus and Soprano Miss Anne Pear son) ,a benediction, Recessional hymn, coronation.
 The prelate. Rev. Sir Alonzo Monk of Memphis, delivered the sermon. He spoke upwards of an hour. and held the large audience in perfect attention to every word. It was full and ex haustive analysis of his text, and showed, as our people had never be- fore viewed. the close relation between Knight Templarism and Christianity. It was an able effort, a splendid dis course, and. we regret a lack of space prevents us from giving a full report of the sermon and the ceremonies ac- companying the occasion.

There are longer but no better roads in this or any other country than the Chicago < Alton railroad. This line makes permanent patron of every traveller who once gives it trial. It's tracks are of the heaviest steel and as smooth as glass. Its roadbed is stone ballasted throughout. Its equipment is superb. It was the first line on which Pullman sleeping car was ever run, the first line to adopt dining cars and the first line to run free re elining chair cars, and to-day it's solid vestibuled trains containing all of these modern luxuries, are running through on fast time to and from Union Depots in Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago with astonishing regularity and with exceeding comfort to it's ever increasing patrons. If you ever make trip in any direction be- tween Kansas City and Chicago, or Kansas City and St. Louis, or St. Louis Chicago. and fail to patronize the Chi cago & Alton, you may be sure that you have missed at least one opportu- nity for increasing your happiness ln this life.

Terrible Confession of a Texas Man Sem
fenced to be Hanged.
DEN1soN, Tex. May 8.-The application
for pardon made to Gov. Hogg by Charles
Luttrell, who is TO hang May II for muir
der, has caused a sensation. 1t has devel-
oped that Luttrell has made statement
in regard to the terrible butchery of
women here last spring that will probably
secure him a pardon or communication of
sentence to life imprisonment.
1t is alleged that Luttrell confessed that
since 1915 James Brown, John Carlisle
AMI others have killed 249 men in order to
destroy testimony against them in murder
cases.
In 1873 James Brown killed stable
man, John Carlisle was induced to kill
another man named Sparks, and Tom
Shannon, their latest victim, was an eye
witness to both murders.
There were many other eye-witnesses,
and Brown and Carlisle, being wealthy,
started in to kill evidence against them,
and Luttrells confession is but a glimpse
of the awful reality of the unparalleled
series Of crimes that cost 248 men their

STATUE OF ERICSSON.
The Famous Inventor Honored by
New York State.
jonathan Scott Ifartley's Remarkably
Clever Work = Description of the
Statue, Pedestal and the Low
Relief Panels.

The statue of John Ericsson, the in
ventor, by Jonathan Scott Hartley,
erected by the state of New York, and
unveiled few days ago, stands at Bat
terry park, New York city, not far from
the Flagstaff. The statue is Of bronze,
and was cast in Providence, R. l., two
months ago.
The figure of Ericsson is 8 feet
inches high. The height of the ped
estal is feet inches, which makes
the total elevation II feet. The weight
of the statue Is 1,750 pounds. The ped
estal is Of Quincy granite, with parts
left rough and others polished. The
main block is highly polished. On
the upper portion of the four sides of
the die are bronze low relief panels 36
inches in length by 1a in width. The
subjects of these are: ''The Action Be-
tween the Monitor and Merrimac,' 81
Steam Fire Engine in Action" "Steam
Sloop of War Princeton-the first ap-
plication of screw propeller to war
ships" Grouping of Various Inven-
tions, Caloric and Solar Engines, etc. :"
The head of the statue was modelled
from bust taken from life and from
pictures and photographs. Mr.. Hart
ley began the modelling In the summer
of 1901. The work was finished in the
clay and approved of last fall by the
art committee of the park board. The
sculptor, however, was not satisfied
with his work and SO destroyed it and
made another model The inventor
stands in an easy, natural pose. The

an old fashioned double-breasted black
coat-he rarely wore anything else.
In 1891 the legislature passed bill,
which was signed by Gov. Hill, Great
ing commission of fourteen per-
sons, who were authorized to erect
in the city of New York a monument
to John Ericsson and to cooperate with
the department Of public parks in such
work. By the same act the board OF
estimate and superintendent was en-
powered to appropriate the sum of &c.
900 for the betrayal Of the cost of the
work. The board, in the fall of that
year, appropriated the amount, and II
still remains in the public treasury
waiting the completion of the monu-
ment, when it will be paid over to the
sculptor. The New England Monu
ment company is making the pedestal
The statue is remarkable for being
the first erected under the auspices Of
the municipality of New York outside
of Central park. All others have been

NOTED lieutenant, and in 1s6O-e1 was
attached to the Crusader, Of the home
squadron. He took part In the battle
Of Port Royal, was attached to vessels
performing blockading and cruising
duties, and In 1869 received his promo
Eon TO lieutenant commander. He
served with the famous West Gulf
blockadin9 squadron, sharing its for
tunes and participating In all its excel
lent work, and after the close of the
war was detailed to the Susquehanna
then employed on special service. In
1857 he was promoted to commander,
and after duty at the navy yard, New
York, and as lighthouse inspector, was
ordered to the command of the monitor
Canonicus, and subsequently of the
monitor Saugus. After being promot-
ed to captain in 1875 he commanded the
Richmond, on the Asiatic station, and
when his cruise was done returned
home, and was assigned to duty at the
Portsmouth navy yard, and later to
the command of the lighthouse dis
trict, New York, the most important
assignment In that line. In 1885 he
was made q commodore, and command
ed the navy yard at Mare island, and
upon his promotion to the rank of rear
admiral was ordered to the command
Of the South American station. Cir
cnanStances have prevented him reach
ing tho limits OF his station, as he was
ordered to Europe In connection with
the Spanish Columbian celebration,
and upon the completion of this he
was actively engaged in various duties
up the Mediterranean. His latest duty
was to tow to Havana from, Spain the
caravels, and this was most successful
ly performed, Out of his forty-six
years service he has been twenty-five
years at sea, eighteen years on shore
duty and ave and a half years on leave
or unemployed. There is a common be-
lief in the service that every man who
has served with Benham wants to serve
with him again, and there is no duty
| wherein he would be asked to lead
| where volunteers would not throng.
Popularity Is sometimes mcanly
bought, but the affection and service
| regard for Benham, says Harper's
Weekly, are as sincere as the charac,
ter which has evoked them.

REAR ADMIRAL RENHAM.

One OF the Most Popular Onacers in the
American Navy.
Rear Admiral A. E. X. Benham is the
fourth ranking officer of the United
States navy, and was appointed to the
service In 1s47 from the state of New
York. His earliest services were in

ron. He returned to the naval acad-
envy for his final examination, and was
