The Peoples Party is The first in the
field in Massachusetts this year, having
held State convention in Boston Oh
Wednesday and nominated full state
ticket This was one of the party's de-
iyerances on the currency question.
We believe in an invariable dollar. TIC
secure this our money should consist OF
a volume of legal tenders issued only by
the government, receivable for all public
dues, and expanded or contracted as shall
be necessary to make the dollar every
where the same average amount of one
hundred or more staple commodities Sc
lected as the best barometer of values.
An invariable dollar could be based
about as successfully on the weather
barometer as on the barometer of values
herein described.

Secretary Carlisle is holding on to the
money collected under the income tax
before that measure was declared uncon-
stitutional, and if the words which he is
alleged to have spoken to an interviewer,
were really spoken he is doing it for the
purpose of getting the law again before
the Supreme Court, in the hope that
some judge may change his mind and
thus reverse the last decision of the court.
The treasury is awfully hard up and the
Secretary is under very strong.temptation
to hold on to every dollar that gets into
it. but he ought to be able to rise superior
to the small business of keeping money
that has been illegally collected and does
not belong to the government at all, and
to keep which is moral larceny.

The two veterans to whom it was al
legged that ex-President Harrison had ex-
pressed his intention not to accept Pres
idential nomination under any circum-
stances promptly deny that he conveyed
any such idea. We supposed that the
denial would be forthcoming for it did
not seem probable that Mr.. Harrison
would take this roundabout method OF
announcing to the public that he was en-
tireIy out of the Presidential race Meth
er is it probable that he will make up his
mind to accept under any condition until
after the convention.

If the attendance on the first day of the
debate between W. H. Harvey, the author
of Coins Financial School, and Exon
gresham Roswell G. Horn, is fair indi-
cation, Chicago isn't getting very much
excited over the contest. Perhaps this is
not strange, for finance is not very ex-
citing topic to the ordinary man at any
time, least of all at this time after he
has been dosed with it by the newspapers
for months, and has had innumerable
pamphlets on the subject strewn in his
pathway.

The Mills case is quite a noted one
in Wake county. 1t was tiled in
Wake criminal court and resulted in
Geo. Mills being sentenced TO death
fer the murder of his niece. The
case was appealed to the Supreme
curt and the sentence was affirmed.
Then Gov. Carr issued warrant Of
execution to occur on the third of
May. The warrant was read to
Mills. His manner was very care
less. He Thanked God he had been
spared to fully confess the murder
of his niece; that he bad told the en-
tire truth, and tat it was hard be
alone would suffer, while the people
who drove him into the Grim. went
free.
Ab-ut six months ago deputy
Sheriff Walters aud Others walked
out in the night with George Mills
who had only been put in Jail the
day before for killing his niece. Gu,
into the cemetery they went and
there George sat for half the CHI
