The Issue of Bonds.

The Memphis Commercially
peal's views on the issue of $50.
10000 Of bonds called for by Mr..
Carlisle, secretary of the treasury,
accords so forcibly with the eau
casian's that the editorial, which
will bear attentive consideration.
is republished in full. Two issues
of bonds in less than one year, in
time of profound peace, is appall-
ing. The purpose of these bonds
is to restore the gold reserve,
which, when again reduced from
its proper proportions, will neces-
state third and possibly a fourth,
if not indefinite issues, unless Con-
gress shall intervene.
Many people in the United
States are disposed to abuse the
banks and the money sharks for
the issue of bonds. The national
banks and money lenders are sim
ply availing themselves of the op-
portunity offered them through a
financial policy based on a gold
standard, which is favored by mon
ey lenders, who want the gold
standard maintained. Unfortu-
nately, the masses must suffer the
consequences of a financial policy
which is making the few richer and
the poor poorer. = Caucasian

Circuit Clerks Convention,

There was a meeting of the
Circuit Clerks of the State held
in this city on Thursday at
which abou; twenty were present.
The object Of their coming to-
gether was to secure the passage
Of law giving them fees in felony
cases, and bill was drawn up
which will be presented to the
Legislature now in session. 1t
provides that clerks shall be paid
ten dollars in fees in all felony
cases, whether there is a convic.
ton or not. Under the present
law a clerk has a great deal of
work to do in criminal cases for
which he receives nothing.

Announcement.

No apology is necessary on the
score Of medical propriety for
thus announcing to the profession
and the public. that we have made
a long, careful and special study
Of cancerous diseases, together
with all malignant and other
tumors, and are able to offer the
results Of our extensive experience
in Kentucky and surrounding
countries in system of rational
and successful treatment, that we
believe has never heretofore been
attained, and we are able to point
to thousands of successful cases
not in Boosting, but rather in a
spirit of thankfulness, that we are
thus able to prove so clearly our
assertion; that our system does
cure cancer. With a positive
knowledge Of this fact now so
fully endorsed by thousands Of suf-
ferers, and approved by the pro-
fession, we should be wanting in
humanity if we neglected any
means in our power to spread the
glad tidings among those afflicted
with this most terrible and hope
less OF diseases.

Founded Upon Facts.

Few Of the thousands who have
witnessed the American melo
drama THE Power of the Press
have realized that the play is but
reproduction Of actual events
which happened in New York
City few years ago. and that its
characters and scenes are the
results Of the life studies of Il e
author, Manager Augustus Pitou.
Mr. Pitou in reading a leading
New York daily paper few years
ago was struck by the recital made
therein Of certain evidence pre-
scented before the Governor Of the
State going to show the innocence
of a prisoner recently released
from ling Sing. after having served
an unjust sentence Of seven years
in that institution.
Curiosity led him to follow up
the story ami the persons it con.
cerned. and bit by bit he built up
the real story OF the lives Of the
characters which he has brought
into the play he has called 81 he
Power of the Press" in honor of
the service done in the cause of
humanity and justice by the daily
paper referred to.
All traces Of identity Of the
various characters have. oil course.
been destroyed in Mr.. Pitou's
dramatic work but the various
men and women who we're inter
ested or implicated in the case re-
ferred to were sketched with such
fidelity that many who saw the
play during its long New York
run were able to identify them.
The lifelike character Of the
scenes is thus easily explained,
and the stage settings are equally
true to life. as they have been
made and built from Photographic
reproductions of the localities
visited by Mr.. Pitou in his re-
searches for the material used in
the play.
The services Of Mr.. George
Jessop were made use Of by MIR.
Pitou only after the play was care
fully outlined, and it is singular
fact that, after the two authors
completed their work. the name
of 1.-The Power OF the Press" was
written out by both, as the indi-
vidual choice Of each gentleman,
without previous consultation or
dicussion.

word of excuse for his horrible crime
The animal in his nature was exhibited
to the last moment His neck was
broken by the fall and there was no
movement of the body after he passed
through the trap.
The crime for which James q. Stone,
OF Bud Stone as he was Familiarity
called, was convicted was committed
near the village of Glendale, nine miles
east of Washington, Ind, on the night
of Sept. IS, 1898, and was the peculiarly
and atrocious murder of Mrs. Elizabeth
Wratten, her son benson and his wife
and three children. All were killed in
stantly with the exception of the little
girl, Ethel. who lived several days
While she lay dangerously i'll at a
neigh boris home from wounds received,
Stone visited the house and while the
family were at dinner smothered her to
death for fear of her recovery to give
evidence against him.
Stone confessed the crime to his wife
and she, being unable to keep the aw-
full secret, when summoned before the
grand jury told all she knew.
The assassin was taken to the Jeffer-
sonville prison Immediately upon his
arrest, in order to avoid lynching, but
was returned to Washington Nov. for
trial. He entered plea of guilty, and
within three hours time was convicted
and sentenced to be hanged
Stones was probably the most brutal
and flendish crime ever committed in
the state of Indiana He undoubtedly
intended robbery, but becoming fright
ened at the enormity of the crimes the
murderer fed, leaving over 5000 I'M
touched in bureau drawer. His
father is a well respected farmer, and
