In Ohio and New York 1t is believed
that Senator Brice will abandon all
pretcnse OF n residence in the state from
which he is accredited and take up his
residence once more in the state in
which he lived when he was elected. 1t
is even predicted that before long Mr..
Brice will be candidate for the senate
from New York. This seems highly
nOnsenslcal.

Although it is probable that the pri-
mary motive for most of the murders
committed by Holmes was to obtain
money through life insurance. 1t is IN
evidence that the skeletons of some of
his victims were articulated and dis
posed of to medical colleges or doctors
for anatomical purposes. The latter was
the motive of another series of crimes
quite as sensational and notorious in
their day as those charged to Holmes.
These were the murders committed in
Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1928. by two men
named Burke and Hare. Both were
Irishmen Of low birth and bad habits,
who came to Scotland as laborers. Hare
became the keeper of a low lodging
house and Burke was his boon compan-
ion. At that time there was no suffi-
cient legal means in Scotland of pro-
curing dead bodies for anatomical pur-
poses, and the consequence was that
very questionable means were resorted to
them. The high prices paid for SUBJ
jects created a trade lucrative enough to
induce Burke and Hare to engage in 1t
as a means of livelihood, and they
adopted murder as the cheapest means
of obtaining bodies. The lodging house
kept by Hare was a squalid place COM
pared with Holiness castle, but what it
lacked in secret passages and trap doors
Ii made up in other conveniences for
murder. Passing wayfarers and va
grants were lured into their den by the
sign of Beds to let." and once asleep
they were drugged and suffocated, Hare
holding a pillow over the head of the
sleeper while Burke pressed his weight
of two hundred pounds on the victims
chest. A series of mysterious disap-
pearances finally directed suspicion to
the house. and the men were arrested.
Hare turned states evidence. and on his
testimony Burke was hung, his body
publicly dissected and his skeleton now
hangs in the museum OF Edinburgh Uni
versity Hare would have been lynched
had he not secretly escaped to Ireland.
1t came out in the trial that the two
had committed no less than sixteen MUIR
ders. To remedy the state of things
which had led TO these crimes Parlia-
ment PASSED law providing that the
bodies of all persons dying friendless. in
poor houses. hospitals or elsewhere
should go to the medical profession and
making other provisions for a supply of
subjects for anatomical purposes. No
series of crimes committed In Great
Britain before or since created greater
sensation than those Of Burke and Hare.
The latter bequeathed to the English
language new verb. ITO
burke meaning to murder by
suffocation. The word Is still

A DELUsION OF FIATIsM.

A citizen who poses as a statesman
Of the first class In this State took some
space in a newspaper recently to show
that low prices are curse and that the
only way to secure higher prices is for
the United States to stamp fifty cents
worth of the millionaire mine-owners'
silver one dollar. He did not put 1t in
those words, but that is the true state
ment of his proposition. so far as the
remedy is concerned.
There are cases in which low prices
represent the best conditions OF labor
and the highest grade of wages. For
instance, under the factory system, a
large carriage establishment, by the use
of the best machinery and paying twice
or three times the wages that could be
earned during those days when car
riages were handmade sells a better
carriage for $50 than could have been
purchased forty years ago for 500. The
same is true of agricultural implements.
Improved machinery and higher wages
In 1892 were producing mowers and har-
vesters for less than half the money

so cheap and SO good, all things consid-
cred, as at the present time. while shoe
makers. in the large factories. earn much
more wages than they could when the
shoe was made mostly by hand. The re-
suit is that good shoes do not cost half
as much as before the war.
Nor is it true that anything will be
gained by resorting to half value and
deprecated currency. If the United
States consumed all of it's wheat for in
stance. il might apparently be an adj
vantage to the producer to have pay
ment in silver. So long. however, as
we have a surplus Of wheat which must
be sold in gold-money countries in COM
petition with other wheat. the price re-
ceived for that surplus will be the real
price here. We may call the price here
50 in silver. but If that surplus sells in
Liverpool for 81 in gold, the silver price
here will be the amount of silver bullion
one dollar in gold will purchase. That
bullion may be stamped two, twenty or
a thousand dollars. but 1t will make no
difference with its purchase power.
which, in no event, can be more than the
gold dollar. for all articles the prices of
which are made by stocks and surplus
es sold in Liverpool. Paris and Berlin.

THE SKELETON MYSTERY.
Illinois Grand Jury Indicts John A.

CENTRAL.IA, ILL.,. Aug. 1.-The famous
McClelland skeleton mystery is brought to
the surface by the indictment of John A.
McClelland and Wesley Tabor by the Ma
rion county grand jury for the murder of
Alexander and Oscar McClelland. John A.
McClelland was arrested at Centralia last
night on a bench warrant issued by the
in jail in Salem. This case created quite a
sensation two years ago, when two skele-
tens were found In a pond on the farm
previously owned by John A. McClella nd
located four miles north of Centralia. The
skeletons were supposed to be those of
Alexander and Oscar McClelland father
and brother of John A. McClelland, but
they were never fully identified. Every
grand jury since has investigated the mys-
terry but no indictments have been found
before. Tabor was brought into the case
by a confession which a divorced wife

On the same theory. II the price Of wheat
is nominally 81 here in silver. or 81 in
gold, the two dollars will purchase no
more sugar, clothing. ETC., than the gold
dollar. So higher prices would be snare
and a delusion, like all of the theories
OF the fiat statesmen.
1t may be the statesman of the mo-
bile mouth will deny that the surplus
makes the price OF the article at home,
but writer who has been in the grain
trade more than thirty years made
such statement recently In the Forum
as the result of thirty years experience.
The same statesman, few weeks ago,
when the Journal declared that the
purchase power of pensions would be re-
duced so per cent. by the free coinage of
silver, holly denied that such would be
the result Now he strives to make it
appear that prices will be largely in
creased by the free coinage Of silver. If
prices are doubled and pensions remain
the same. it must be clear to every per-
son whose head is not turned with Pop
ulistic heresies that the pension money
would be reduced in purchase power one
half when the country shall come to a
silver basis. as most silverites of late
admit would be the case.
