THE JAIL WAS NOT SAFE.
Scott jackson Transferred to the Lock
up at COvington.

Newport. Ky. May 3O.-After making
a personal examination of the Jail Judge
Helm today declared it unfit and unsafe
for the keeping of Scott Jackson, the
murderer of Pearl Bryan, and ordered
his removal to the Covington Jail, which
is verys strong and secure. 1t is now
apparent that it will be impossible to
get the case before the court of ap-
peals before it's September term. so that
the sixty days stay allowed will have
to be extended In case the lower court
is sustained it will then be the duty of
the governor to fix the date of execu-
tiOn.

A FLYING MACHINE.

Professor Samuel +. Langley, secretary
OF the Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington. claims that he mas solved the
problem of man sailing through the air
upon wings. He has invented great
machine that has wings like the wings OF
a bird that are sufficiently WIDE spread
to carry its own weight, the weight OF q
steam engine attached, the freight ana
passengers that are 10 be transported,
and the water and coal necessary 10 run
the engine. lie has made an experiment
with it on the Potomac river near Oc-
coquan, and he testihes, and Professor
Alex. Graham Bell, who saw the expert
ment, also tesunes, that the machine
made two flights, one after the other,
rising 10 a height OF more than one hun
dred feet and pTopelling Itself then
half mile or more at each fight. In
both cases they report that the machine
had to descend at the end of a half-mile
Tor want OF steam. This strikes us as
the weak point in Professor Langleys
case. II must be serious thing Tor a
nying machine to transport fuel enough
to keep up the steam necessary to pro-
duce the enormous force required to pre-
serve a great weight uninterruptedly IN
the air. There could. of course. be coal
ing stations enough provided along a
proposed route. but a descent between
stations for want Of coal would be an
awkward thing to passengers running on
time We say nothing in disparagment
OF Professor Langley's invention, now
over we know IT Is physically possible
TO make machine NY, and that man Will
ultimately develop a machine that can
Wtinze the lair successfully, we think
highly probable.

citation Just held at Chattanooga the
body unanimously ana without regard 10
.ne politics OF the members, adopted
resolutions endorsing the gold standard
and declaring its opposition to the free
coinage Of silver. This is a striking fact.
Here was q large body OF leading lner-
chants, some Democrats and some he-
puDlicans, but all declaring that they
could not conduct their business unless
me standard OF value was fixed aid
unvary.ng. so that when they made
Transactions based upon collars thoy
should always know exactly what tney
were talking about. Iney knew they can
transact no business II one side 10 the
transaction IS talking about a carload Of
hardware valued at so many dollars and
the other party is talking OF a carload
valued at the same number OF dollars.
but one means a carload valued by a
dollar worth 100 cents, while the other is
ld4hlhB VI Il Ntti-lOtlu NdlutN ny NplldI
worth 80 cents. They knew this would
involve their business IN ineXtricaole con-
fusion, and that they would lose every
thing they had invested These mer-
chants are forced. by their business, to
know these conditions, but every mans
common sense should teach him the same
thing. That confusion is bound TO arise
with two standards Of value which offer
IN value. or rather II would necessarily
happen II both standards remained IN use.
OF course, both standards would not
remain in use. as the cheaper one would
drive the doarcr one out Of use and ali
transactions would De based upon The
nfty-cent standard, while all the debts
due would be ropudiated TO the extent
OF so cents in the dollar. II any man
thinks free coinage of silver would raise
the silver dollar from the present value
OF " cents to the value OF 10 cents, let
him explain why 1t does not DO 1t in
Mexico. Mexico has free coinage. and one
OF her gold dollars will buy two OF her
silver dollars. Why is this?
