WHY Is IT?



Let boy fall and all hands and hearts
are at his command for redemption' sake.
He Is Somebody's darling" That is
right. 1t is always right 10 save a fallen
creature Of any kind. Every mothers
heart is bleeding for him; every sisters
tears are shed for him. The fathers and
ministers pray for him; the church is
open to him if he manifests the slightest
inclination TO return to the path of recti-
tude If he does return he is white-robed
and banqueted. A prodigal son return
ed But what Of a girl? If she falls,
whose tears are shed, whose doors are
open; what sisters and mothers weep
what father or minister prays for her2
She is q fallen woman, and for her there
is no love, no sympathy. She is a hope
less outoast This is the exact state OF
things Why do women spurn their own
sex when one happens to fall, and the
same day take the man who brought dis
grace upon her by the hand and try TO re-
deem him? There is an unsolved mys-
terry in all this, and if a lady can explain
why the female race has such hatred for
the OutCasts of their own sex, when man
is, in all probability, the cause ofthe wom-
ans downfall, we should be pleased to
hear it. Why not love and save fallen
women as quick, or much quicker, than
fallen men? But it is not so. She is
Stunned, kicked, scofled at, shut out for
ever, and a soul is lost while her own sex
will extend a lorgiving heart and an open
hand to the fallen man. This is a terri
! BILE wrong.

In Is a conceded fact that our

has gone up chat much in purchas-
ing power And this Is what they
call the "honest dollar Il it bad
gone up 50 that it would now buy
five times as much as It would in
1873, would IL still be the "honest
dollar" or would it be FIVE times as
honest, or what2 If there is any
limit to this game of appreciation,
won'tsome honestman tell us where
the line is drawn, beyond which it
would not be honest, and why?
But suppose that instead Of going
up go per cent, it bad gone down
80 per cent. Would 10 still be the
honest dollar2 We all agree that
itwopld not, but it certainly would
be Just as honest as the dollar that
went up 80 per cent. If not, why
not? They are both dishonest dol
lars and robbers; the one robs the
debtor and producer, and the other
the creditor, and according to our
way Of thinking, it is as much of a
crime to rob a poor man as to rob
a rich man. Then neither of the
above dollars being honest, what is
an honest dollar? We answer that
it is the dollar that maintains a con-
stancy in purchasing power as near
as may be, to commodities in gen.
eral-that does not huctuate mate
rally either way, up or down. A
dollar Of this kind is just and equit-
able between debtor and creditor
To maintain such constancy in the
purchasing power Of the dollar, the
supply OF dollars must of course be
increased as the demand for them
is increased by the increased vol
ume of the business of the country
Supply and demand govern in The
money market to fix the value O
money, just as effectively as it doe
IN the wheat market to fix the VALUE
ofwheat. The Sherman act of 1877,
diminished the supply of dollars
while the demand for them KEEP
right on increasing. Hence the 81
per cent. appreciation of the golr
dollar of 1896 over the gold dolla
of 1873.

The question of criminal costs,
which are proving such a burden to
the State, is creating widespread
interest, and in many of the large
counties where the abuses of this
Ubiquitous system are found to ex-
list, they are organizing leagues, the
members of which pledge them
selves to support no candidate for
the general assembly who is not
favorable to the reform. 1t is esti-
mated by those who aveinvestigat-
ed the matter that the enactment OF
alaw similar to the Georgia statutes
relative to criminal prosecutions
would save the taxpayers Of Ten
nessee over $1,000,000 per annum
In number of counties the pledge
of these leagues has already been
signed by enough voters to defeat
any man who refuses to give the re.
quired guarantee.

Maud Kelly, a domestic employed
near that place were drowned in
the Waikiki River last Saturday
night. They had been out riding
and on their return were obliged to
cross bridge spanning the river

overfowed the banks and covered
the road at one end Of the bridge
for several hundred feet. This they
attempted TO drive through but In
some way went over the bank into
the swift current. The cries Of At
kins were heard for nearly half an
hour, but as no boats were at hand
he could not be rescued, and his
body was found next morning
lodged in a clump Of bushes. The

ing the workings of the plan in a

applied, there will be no convictions
