Ills Business Dwindling Down to Nothing
at the Court House

Douglas V. Donnelly is feeling the re-
suits of the local election harder than
any man. Douglas keeps the cigar
stand at the court house and since the
election he has not made enough 10
buy meal for a musQuito. He has
done away with 20 cent cigars alto
gether and the probility now IS that he
will be compelled TO do business on a
stoggie basis. John Doran. Murray
Myers. Judge Wyatt. Newt Bridgeman
and Colonel Woodcock all bought 10
cent cigars from him. Three OF these
gentlemen are out Of office altogether
and as the others are going out they
are retrenching so that their trade does
not amount TO anything. Rufe Cone
was good for six or seven good cigars a
day, but Rufe quit smoking recently
and poor Douglas felt the loss of the
improved habits OF the sheriff keenly

use the weed in any form and Webb is

When c. Reed was judge he was fond
OF his cigar and permitted smoking in
the court room. His successor. Judge
Dale. does not smoke himself nor will
he allow any smoking in the court
room. This rule OF Judge Dale's was a
terrible blow to the income of Mr..
Donnelly. He will get IL n the neck still
worse when the new officers take their
places. Sealock does not smoke at all.

weed. Jesse Hayuaker smokes but very

| Sunday afternoon suspicious charac-
ter was arrested at the stock yards
! and taken to the city jail. His descrip-
ton Tailed very well with that of the
Gimowsky a few nights ago on North
Mead avenue. Chief Burt sent for
Gimowsky and several prisoners were
marched out before him together, and
he without any hesitation picked out
one of them as the larger OF the two
men who attempted to rob him.
Chief Burt tried to impress upon him
the Importance of being positive this
was the man and asked him if he would
swear that he was. He replied that ne
would, and added that he wanted the
man who did it to receive just punish
ment, but that he did not want any limo
cent party to be. He suggested that his
boy. who was with him at the time he
was held uD, be given an opportunity
10 identify him if he could. Accordingly
last night the man brought the boy to
police headquarters, and he picked out
the same man his father did as the
highwayman.
The man refused to disclose his iden-
tity in any way. Chief Burt has taken
steps to bring the case to trial as soon
as possible and Mr.. Davis will make
out the necessary papers today. Mean
while a close watch will be kept to pre-
vent him from making his escape as he
probably will do upon the least occa-
sion presenting itself.
The police have made several arrests
lately and out Of the number several
well known characters have been taken,
some of whom are wanted in other
places. 1t was thought that the men
who attempted to hold UP two police
officers on Wichita street some nights
ago were the same men who help up
Gimowsky, but he failed to identify
them.
Every effort has been made and is
still being made to apprehend the mis-
creants who have been making ii I'M
pleasant for citizens to be out after
night, and they are sure to be caught
sooner or later unless they should sud-
denly reform, but this is impossible as
it seems second nature for them 10 at
tempt unfair means to win livelihood.

The lesson this should teach the people
Of this county, regardless of party, is to
get good officers who will do their duty
without fear or favor, and keep them.
The lesson this should teach parties in

their manhood, honor their constituents.

What il Amounts To.

The scheme for the unlimited coinage
of 50-cent silver is wholly opposed to
mathematics, logic and morality.
1t is mathematically absurd to try to
have two standards for money. You
cannot have a bushel that holds both
eight pecks and four pecks or a yard Of
both thirty-six inches and eighteen inches
long or pound containing sixteen ounces
and eight ounces. If by law you could
enforce such double-standard measures,
everybody would try to buy by the larger
and sell by the smaller. If you tried to
enforce the use of the smaller for the
larger, the men of moderate means and
the working men and women who cannot
resist would get cheated. The only ones
who would make anything by such law
are the gamblers, who would lay wagers
on the rapid changes that would come
about, or the actual owners of the prod
ucts which the law tries to double in
price. In the case of the silver standard
the gamblers and mine owners alone
would gain.
The scheme is opposed to logic because
it is offered as help to the poor, who
would suffer most By it. 1t is offered as
n relief for debtors. but no class has so
large q sum constantly owing to them as
the wage earners. who would be paid so
cents for dollar. Even the farmers
who are in debt would suffer, for their
mortgages would be called in and could
only be renewed at a higher interest, if
at all. Every farmer who is clear of
debt would find his expenses increasing
faster than his income. while the add
vance in prices, so far rs it took place,
would check exports and increase i'm.
ports.
1t is opposed to morality, for it would
give big profits to the mine owners at the
cost of the rest of the people. 1t would
rob the manysto add to the riches of the
rich. 1t would rob most those who have
the least-the wage earners and the
multitude of widows and orphans with
small incomes from fixed investments.
As with classes, so with sections. 1t
would cheat worst the poorer parts of
the country, and no part so cruelty as the
South.
These are facts, that will become palmer
and more plain as the canvass goes on.
In the end we are confident that Bryan
and. Bunko. Sewall and Silver, will be
crushed by the votes of the workmgmen
and the farmers.-New York Times.

Ex.speakss - the House Of Repre-.

Charles r. Crisp, the ex-Spesker Of tho

got abroad several days ago that he was

sanitarium, where 1t was given out that
he was getting better. Mr.. Crisp was
the choice of the Democrats Of Georgia
to succeed Senator John b. Gordon IN the
United States Senate, and would have
been chosen to that position by the Leg
islature at its approaching session had he
lived.
Mr.. Crisp had been suffering from ma

death was heart failure. Mr.. Crisp had

Weyier Never Meant to Fire on the
Vigilancia.
1t is stated by officials Of the Govern
ment that the reports coming from New
Orleans as to an exciting controversy at
Havana between Gen. Fitz Hugh Lee,
United States Consul General, and Gen.
Weyler, over the attempted apprehension
of Mexican named Fernandez on board
of the American ship vigilancia, give
significance and Importance to the event
not warranted by the facts. A Washing
ton correspondent says: If there was
any apprehension that war would result,
that feeling must have been confined en-
tirely to Havana, for the law on the sub
ject is too clear. and it's application has
been SO firmly established by precedent
that the officials here were in no doubt
as to the outcome. Consul General Lee
has not informed the State Department
of the affair." and the fact that he did not
deem it worthy of the expense of cabling.
but will treat it only in the routine way
through mail reports. Is evidence of the
Importance he accorded to the incident.
The Spanish authorities received Ha-
vana advices fully explaining the case.
but these advices were of an entirely
pacific character and treated the matter
as an incident which had been satisfactor-
lily adjusted between Gen. Weyler and
Consul General Lee without any breach
of their friendly relations.

All for a Cent.

Some free silver fiatists think they are
asking poser when they ask: "What
makes n cent worth a cent?" They take
il for granted that the answer must be
1.-The government makes n cent worth n
cent" therefore it is the government
stamp that makes money worth what it
is Stamped.
W .lich shows that a little learning is
really dangerous thing sometimes. The
Office of Il cent is q very small one. 1t Is
n minor coin created for convenience in
small transactions. But if our wise fat
lists will inform themselves regarding its
function and its limitations, they will
learn that the cent is legal tender in
sums not to exceed % cents.
Do they appreciate the full significance
of that limitation? If they do they will
see how ridiculous they are when they
make the cent an argument in favor of
a full legal tender. irredeemable fiat dol
lar-whether all fiat or 30 per cent. fat.
The subsidiary silver coins are legal
tender in sums not exceeding SO, while
the standard silver dollar. held at par
with gold under the limitations of the ex-
listing gold standard, is q full legal ten
der. without limit. unless otherwise
specified in the contract. Take away
these restrictions and change the stand
ara, and the silver dollar would simply
be worth its bullion value; no more, no
less.--Detroit Journal.

and his two sons, Charles #. Crisp Jr.,
and Fred Crisp We're quickly summoned.
When they entered the room Judge Crisp
was still conscious. He gave them the
look of recognition, breathed a few times
and died.
Mr.. Crisp's death, while apparently thus
sudden, was not unexpected by the ply
sicians who have been watching him. He
had been declining for several years. His
last illness, however, was occasioned by
an attack of malarial fever. which no
contracted at his home, Americas. a few
weeks ago, but which itself yielded to
treatment when he went to Atlanta. He
was considered convalescent, and only
last Sabbath had ridden out. But, when
renewed health seemed within view, he
was attacked by congestion of the lungs,
which, added to the weakness of the
lungs and heart, caused by two previous
attacks of pleuro- pneumonia, resulted in
his death.
Charles Frederick Crisp was born Mt
Sheffield, England, Jan. 20, 1915. He
was brought to the United States when
year old, and was educated at public
schools of Savannah and Macon. Ga. He
served in the Confederate army during
the. civil war, and at its close studied
law and was admitted TO the bar in 1866.
He practiced at Ellaville, Ga. In 1872
he was appointed solicitor general of the
Southwestern Judicial Circuit of Georgia,
and in 1877 became judge of the Superior
Court of the same judicial circuit. This
position he retained until elected n repre-
sentative In Congress in 1882. He served
continuously in Congress until the expira-
ton of the last term. He had been
Speaker of the House.

The basic fact to be remembered In
all discussions Of the tariff IL that we
are now obliged to raise annually. In
round numbers, half billion of dollars

from borrowing. which of course nobody
fav0rs, there are but two sources, from
which the great bulk of II can be derived,
towit: from tariff duties and direct taxa

never perceptibly felt, and the second Is
direct and always felt. The Democratic
leaders regard both as tax to be paid
by the consumer The Republicans con-
tend that IL the tariff Is tax Mt all II Ii
one paid by the foreign producer and not
by the consumer.
Hence they favor as high tariff on
the foreign product a. Ii will sbear, be-
cause they deem it better to collect oil
the revenue possible from the foreigner
who pays no other taxes, rather than
from our own people who must pny In
taxes whatever is needed over and above
the amount realized from tariff duties,
and moreover, because the tariff affords
incidental protection to our manufacture
ers thus enabling them to compete with
the foreign manufacturer, and at the
same time furnishing employment to our
labcripg men, and creating home mark

That the tariff duties are paid by the
foreign producer is so manifest that the
only wonder is that !. SHOULD ever be
questioned. The foreign producer pays
1t as license fee for entrance to our
market, but when he gets it here ne
must sell it. for the same price as the
American producer or he cannot sell II

Sir John Macdonald, the premier Of
Canada. who said in n speech in the
Canadian PaEliament shortly after the
passage OF the Mckinley tariff. '"up-

the American side of the line. Suppose
he grows 1000 bushels of barley on each
of his farms. He takes his 1000 Ameri-
can bushels to the American market and
gets 81 bushel for it. He takes his
1000 bushels of Canadian barley to the
American market and gets but S5 cents
per bushel, because he has to pay ID

How can 1t, in this age, be said that the
consumer pays the duty? 1t comes out
