EsPORIA, Kan, Nov. 2O-Late yes
terday afternoon, David Henderson, a
colored school teacher at Dunlap, 30
miles north of here, attempted an as
sault on Dora Ray, a 14-year-old col
ored girl. This, it is claimed, is his
second attempt. The school board
met last night to investigate the first
case. With the assistance of a lawyer
the matter was settled and Hem
derson virtually exonerated. The girls
father, Samuel Ray, however, was not
satisfied, and wanted Henderson held
for trial A quarrel ensued and Hen
derson grabbed a Ratchet and split
Rays head open. He then made a
rush for the door and was met
by Mrs. Ray in the aisle. He struck
her in the head with the Ratchet
and Mrs. MeFall, a sister of Dora
Ray. also had her head cut open, just
as he was going through the door,
Henderson split Thomas Starkey's

ERIE CANAL CAN COMPETE.
Not Likely to Be Superseded by . Rig
Ship Canal.

Not Likely to Be Superseded by Rlg
Ship Canal
The Engineering News ia a recent
issue discusses editorally the proposed
expenditure of 100000 on the New
York state canals. 1t shows that ii
the proposed improvements reduce tho
cost Of carriage one cent per bushel,
which appears probable, the saving,
with traffic on the Erie canal equal
to that of 1894, will amount to Sl,O3s,-
COO per annum. 1t deems it likely
however, that with the canal deepened
and improved as proposed, the traffic
will increase to what it was in 1854,
and if this occurs the annual saving in
cost of freight transportation viii
amount to $2,1s2,OOO, or a return OF
nearly 25 per cent. per annum upon the
expenditures which the state proposes.
Concerning the objection that a ship
canal might supersede the Erie canal,
it says;
"a canal rate as low as one and one
half cents per bushel from Buffalo to
New York (which seems likely to be
reached when the proposed improve
ments are made) amounts TO only one
tenth of Il cent per ton per mile. Re
membering that freight rates on the
open ocean on the lines of heaviest
traffic and lowest rates are often as
much as this, and seldom less than halt
of this, it ought to be easy to see that
even were a free ship canal open to the
great lakes it by no means follows that
ocean vessels could afford to Use il in
competition with cheaply built barges
on the Erie canal"

EVIDENCE OF DECENTRALIZATION.

There is a disposition on the part of
the Democratic press throughout the
country to condemn the action of the
Democratic chairman of the Illinois
committee for calling a convention in
June to take action upon h silver
question. Even papers which are not
unfriendly to free coinage express the
opinion that his action is premature.
There are many reasons to sustain such
an opinion. The national conventions
of both parties will not be held for a
year yet. tUnder ordinary circumstances
it would be difficult to forecast the
changes which may take place in an
ordinary year regarding such a subject
as the silver question. At the present
time, however, the circumstances are
exceptional SO far as the future of silver
is concerned. Without any previous
concert the leading countries of the
world have taken UP the question of
bimetallism by international agreement.
The general discussion which began
months ago, and which is going on
throughout the world will undoubtedly
throw a great deal of light upon the
prospects OF this general movement.
The Endorsement by the German states
of the proposition for an international
conference, the more than possible
change of ministry in Great Britain
which would place an o~ut-and-out BIZ
metallist at the head of the British gov-
eminent, and restoration of peace be-
tween Japan and China are a few of the
circumstances which may greatly
change the situation during the next
year. The commercial world seems to
be in a state of transition upon the sill
yer question. If it can act in accord
through an international agreement the
greatest advantages will be attained.
P~recipitate independent action at the
present time may interfere with that in
ternational action which is of such vast
Importance. Z
1t must be admitted that the Democ-
racy's is a grounding" case, and that
no action can be SO desperate as to
make its condition more hopeless or hui
initiating, and that 1t loses nothing by
taking such a chance as the Democratic
committee of Illinois has proposed; still,
the second judgment will be that Chair
man Hinrichsen has made a mistake
which is a confession of utter demorali-
cation. The punishment of nervousness
Is often as severe as that which over
takes those who hesitate.

TRIcKERY oF PROFESSOR coin.

On page 8 of Coins Financial School,
is a statement to the effect that
prior to 1860 about 800, 900, 900 of foreign
silver came to this country in the form
of Spanish, Mexican and Canadian coin,
tender in the United States by act of
Congress" Such laws. Coin says. are
scattered through the statutes prior to
1878. Without giving any clew to the
book from which he quotes, further
than to say that it relates to loans and
currency, is published at Washington
and can be obtained at the Treasury
Department, he says that on page 24O
the following may be found:
And be it further enacted that from and
after the passage of this act the following
silver coins shall pass current as money
within the United States, and be receivable
by tale, for the payment of all debts and
demands at the rates following, that is to
say, the Spanish pillar dollars and the dol
lars of Mexico, Peru and Bolivia, etc.
The foregoing is the first part of Sec
ton 2 of an act regulating the legal
tender of foreign gold and silver coins
in the United States, which was enact
ed March 8, 1916. The first section is
devoted to the weight and fneness of
5oAAl IA aAAo kA4S e0SoAAAA ~
silver. But tie versatile Professor Coin
does not give the whole section, but
ends his quotation at a point where the
reader is led to understand that the
weight and fineness of these foreign
coins have nothing to do with them so
long as they are Spanish, Mexican and
other dollars. The whole section reads
as follows:
Sec. 2. And be 1t further enacted that
from and after the passage of this act the
money within the United States, and be
receivable by tale, for the payment of all
debts and demands, at the rates following,
that is to say: the Spanish pillar dollars
and the dollars of Mexico. Peru and Bo-
livia, of not less than eight hundred and
415 grains in weight, at 100 cents each, and
the ive-franc pieces of France, of not less
than nine hundred-thousandths in fineness,
and 3S4 grains in weight, at SO cents each.
1t will be seen hat the Professor
leaves out the most important part of
the law from which he quotes, namely,
the weight and value of the coins. The
weight, fineness considered, and the
value was the same as that of the
standard silver dollar of 412h grains,
nine-tenths fine, and the value put upon
the French franc was that of the silver
it contained compared with our stand
ard dollar. This is but one of the nu-
merous receptions practiced by the agile
Professor Coin.
