TORONTO, Ont, February 12.-Dallas
L. Hyams, aged twenty-nine, and
Harry p. Hyams, aged thirty-nine,
brothers engaged in the brokerage
business, who came here from New
Orleans about nine years ago, were
arrested tonight, charged with the
murder of William G.. Wells, young
Englishman, aged twenty-five, who

keeper.
On January Is, 1893, Wells was
found dead, with his head terribly
crushed. at the bottom of the elevator
shaft in the Hyams warehouse in this
city. Death was reported as acciden-
tai, and the coroner, who Investigated
the case, decided that an inquest was
Unnecessary.
Wclls's life was insured for $50, 600
OF which $3l 900 was carried by the
Mutual Life Of New York, and the
balance by the Toronto Mutual Ac-
cident Association. The policies were
payable to Weiss sister, Martha, who
at the time was cngagded to marry
Harry Hyams. The policies had been
issued only two mouths before Weils's
death. The New York Mutual Life
| Investigated the case and found &c
evidence OF fOul play, and the money
was paid to Miss Wells. Last May
she was married to Hyams, and they
shortly afterwards moved to Montreal,
but returned to Toronto two weeks
ago, taking up their residence with
Dallas Hyams. at 81 Grand street,

that fails by any unfairness, the only
way in which it can fall, then God save
the State. For Heavens sake and for
the sake OF all that we hold dear and
sacred, let us exhaust all means, me-
thods and negotiations for peace before
we appeal to the negro or declare war,
for that is what 1t means.
"In my opinion there has never been
time in the history of the State which
demand more patriotic action and sac
rifice OF more personal prejudices,
feelings or ambitions among the white
people than the present. No matter
what our personal wrongs or animosi-
ties may be, 1t will do no good to harp
on the past or to look for eggs in
last year s birds nest Our way and
duty lie in the present and the future.
There are many people who believe
that everything is at sea and that there
are no principles 'or parties left in the
State. Fo" my part know that the
principle of white supremacy and the
true principles of Democracy are still
alive in the hearts of our people, and
propose to stick to the old ship as long
as there is plank left. know that
there are wrongs-persOnal and polti
cal-to bo righted, hut these should be
left for time and and "a more convent
ent season to settle.
There are no question involved in
the constitutional convention, If ban
died wisely, which our people should
not be able to agree upon and nothing
keeps them apart now but feelings,
bitterness, prejuliccs and distrust en-
gepdered by the struggle of the last
four years, in which | am willing to
acknowledge there have been some
serious wrongs and mistakes and mis-
management.
Knowing as / believe l do, the
greatest dangers to the State and my
highest duty to her in this emergency,
do not hesitate to say that shall not
be persuaded by irreconcilab es on one
side or driven by extremists on the
other, from standing by our white peo-
plc-the d mocratic party-in their
conferences, conventions and prima-
ries, for therein alone do see any hope
for white supremacy and civilization,
good government and real peace ard
prosperity"

A wOMAN'S QUESTIONS.
She Wants Light on the Currenc
Problem

The Chicago Herald has received
the following letter from citizen
whose wife is studying the currency
problem:
Editor of The Herald-Ever since
women began to come to the front in
politics, organize suffrage clubs and
mako public speeches, Mrs. Watson
has made me extremely uncomforta ole
by asking all sorts OF questions about
the tariff and about civil service reform
and about the money question and
about hundred other things that |
know all about, but hardly feel capable
OF making clear to the understanding
OF woman. In this crisis it occurs to
me to shift some of The burden and
restore tranquility to the household by
repeating some Of these questions to
The Herald. If The Herald fails to
answer she will conclude they are un-
answerable and let the matter rest
uusolved. The great source of trouble
now is the position of Mr.. Carlisle with
his currency bill. Mrs. Watson wants
| to know whether the making OF money
is function of government or whether
it should be left to individual and
corporate enterprise to furnish tho cir.
culation medium that measures ex-
changes and liquidates debts /?
She wants to know il the making
Of money should be left to private en-.
terprise why Mr.. Carlisle provides In
his bill for any governmental inter.
ference?
she wants to know if the making
of money is function of government
why government does not attend tC
it's business and not delegate its powers
to a class OF individuals or corpora
tions?
She wants to know Ii money should
be made of commodity Of high rela
tive value like gold, and If so, why
| government does not stop when the
| gold is coined instead of issuing 6
volume of paper promises to pay egua
to eight times the number Of golC
| dollars
"She wants to know what elasticity
OF the currency is and how money car
be made to circulate freely when there
is n panic abroad in the land, every
| productive industry paralyzod, every
bank boarding its money and every
man who has IA dollar refusing to par
with it until driven to it by dire neccs
Sity.
The Union times. [volume] (Union, S.C.) 1894-1918, 1895-02-22

"She wants to know il the quantity
of gold in the world is sufficient to dc
the business of the world. If not, and
1t mus. be supplemented by a system OF
paper, based on our faith that there is
some gold somewhere, in which the
paper will be redeemed when we want
it, which Is the best foundation for our
faith, confidence in individual and cor.
porate banks, or confidence in gov.
erDment that represents the honesty.
the integrity and ability to pay of the
whole people?
"She wants to know il paper money
must not, of necessity, be a credit
money, depending for its circulation
upon the faith of tho people in its ulti-
mate redemption
credit of the government 1.-THE whole
people) stronger and better than the
credit of individual or corporate
banks
"She wants to know if MIR. Carlisle
thinks there is money enough in the
country?
"If that is his idea, why does he
not provide for imitation by the cheaper
route OF free coinage of silver instead
of authorizing a lot of banks to issue q
quantity OF promises to pay gold that
they have not, and may never be able
to obtain?
she wants to know, if there is any
way to stop people doing business on
credit, and with = credit money
IF there is no way, she wants TO
know why Mr.. Carlisle and the other
great statesmen don't stop fooling with
the money question and find out what
it is that makes panics, shakes credits
and brings hard times and give us a
remedy"

IN a MELTING MOOD.-The editor
of the Morganton (Ga.) News was
peculiarly affected by the recent snow
storm, as the following extract will
show Last Sunday morning as we
pecped out Of the window from under
the cover, we would have given the
amount OF Mr.. Clcveland's next bond
issue, ono hundred millions of dollars,
to have been poet for five minutes.
The beautiful snow had thrown it's
white mantle over the earth and
hung in lacc-likc fringes from the
trees and every surrounding object.
1t made us think that the angels,
during the night, in glad and frolic-
some humOr, had thrown the down
from their shining wings over tree,
shrub and bush, and we came near
bursting with suppressed poetic emo
tious. And would have possibly done
so, but for the following inspiration
which came in time to save us from
this awful catastrophe:
Man is like the beautiful snow,
He breathes awhile and goes below ;
Where he melts like tie beautiful
snow,
Except more longer, and more slow >"

The tender word forgotten,

THE NEXT

The new congress will assemble In ten
DAYS from this date, and While there VIII
be questions Of high import Of a political
nature that will occup attention there
are others OF a ~non-paruisan character
that win demand a large part of the
time.
First. there is the general bankruptcy
bill, that a very large portion OF the
business community throughout the land
desire to have passed. It was carried
in the house OF representatives OF the
FIfty-arst congress when MT. Reed was
speaker, and as there is no doubt that
he will be speaker now 1t will Doubt
less be carried dE the lower house again.
But as 1t failed in the senate then, 1t
may do so this time also.
The ~anti-optlon bill, 80 dear to the
hearts OF those who have lost money
by speculation, is likely TO come up again,
and as It is one of hos measures thai
exercise a sort of terrorism over the
country member from the West, who be-
lieves THAT the Chicago Board of Trade Is
the sum Of human Misunderstanding tried
It hsmself-it Is not unlikely that this,
too, will pass the house, only to fa.l,
however, as 1t did before. in the sugar
TRUST senate.
The Nicaragua canal bill will also come
up on the report of the government COM
mission appointed to investigate the sub
ject. This measure will doubtless be
considered with the gravity becoming its
Importance.
The question of the governments re-
lation to the railroads of The country
will extend over a wide field. The pres
emit condition OF tine Pacific roads and
the claim by way Of mortgage indebted
ness that the national government has
upon them WIN nave to be deeply con-
sldered.
All these subjects are of the highest
Importance, and they all demand acton.
These, with other matters more or less
political and patriotic, that press for con-
sideratlon, will make the coming session
Of congress one of the gravest that has
ever occupied the attention of the Ameri-
can people.

BooDUING IN FRANCE.

It seems that one Of the arts cultivated
OF late years In France lis the art Of
boodling. The Panama Canal revelations
showed that great advances had been
made In the art by men of different de-
grees, In the legislature and out OF the
legislature. The shameless and cruel way
In which the people were robbed by those
who undertook to boom that project will
ever be a disgrace to France. The rail-
way scandal that caused the collapse Of
the late government has been little less
d!sgraceful.
Many years ago the people OF France
were, as far as railway accommodations
were concerned, at the mercy of six
great companies, These formed an i'm
mense monopoly, charged what they
pleased, and treated the public in the
ways THAT best suited their convenience.
The people naturally resented this, and
prevailed upon Whe government to go
into the business of building and operat-
ing railways. Times becoming hard and
trade decreasing, the new roads, under
government management did not pay.
The Old companies bought up a number
OF them, and after getting possession of
them allowed them to go into disuse.
In 1888 the government inaugurated a
new railway policy. 1t entered into IN
agreement with the companies by which
the state guaranteed them dividends and
required them to construct new lines OF
road to the expenditure of 1000 OO, 00O
francs, guaranteeing them a dividend.
Here was a chance for The boodlers, ana
they were not slow in a~vailing themselves
OF 1t. Syndicates were formed, railroads
were deliberately wrecked. and The gov
eminent bled to satisfy the greed of the
boodlers. 1t is said that last year the
government paid on clearly manipulated
contracts, 2s4.OOO.OOO francs. or nearly ST.
100000. and II Is asked this year for $751;
100000 more.
II leaked out that senators and mem-
bers OF the chamber OF deputies were in
terested in the contracts to a very consld-
cradle extent. Accusations we're openly
made In the chamber when the explosion
came and there appear to be only too
many and too good grounds for them.
We have seen that some of the stolen
Panama Canal money was expended in
building the subsidized roads, so that the
scandal has become a very complicated
n What the upshot Of this bad busl.
meas well be no one yet seems to have the
least idea. It has, 80 far. killed the
government and 1t will no doubt have
the effect OF destroying many populations.
But whether It win result in compelling
French politicians Of easy virtue to mend
their ways and In making boodlng in
the legislature Impossible Is evidently
more than tine true patriots In France
dare hope.
