An Outrage That Called Loudly for
Vengeance.


Vengeance.
sI understand, colonel" remarked
the inquiring tourist from the north.
addressing the prominent son of the
Dark and Bloody Ground, that there is
said to be a raving maniac running at
large in the forest in this vicinity"
well, suh," replied Col. Corkright,
ga dastahdly scoundrel of a travelling
hypnotizuh came along and gave an ex-
hibition in the courthouse night befo'
last, and in the ccu'se of the evening he
hypnotized Maj. Bludsoe, one of the
most influential citizens, and while he
had him unduh his control he made the
majuh drink a glass of watuh, telling
hum that it was 2o-year-old Bourbon
whisky. The diabolical dose had such
an awful effect upon the victim-a good
deallike hydrophobia, only heap wo'se
that the hypnotizuh became fright
ened at what he had done and fed to
the woods, leaving the majuh going
from one paroxysm to anothuh.
ut took two doctuhs all the rest of
the night and half of the next day to
resto' the majuh to clear unduhstand-
ing of the infuhnal outrage which had
been puhpetrated on him, and when
he came to himself at last he drew his
revolvuh and plunged into the woods,
sweating by the ghost of the illustrious
Henry Clay that he would neither eat
nor sleep till he had avenged the wrong.
And judge, sub, that the report you
have heard about a maniac in the woods
was stahted by some stranguh who
had caught glimpse of the majuh."-

though the long lapse of time, more
than six years, has served, as time al
ways does, to blunt the keen edge of
the sorrow that had come TO her, yet
Elsie Benefits existence was one long
life of quiet sadness and of sly retire
ment She devoted herself entirely TO
the task of caring for her dear father,
now growing so old and every day more
feeble, and beyond that she took little
interest in what passed in the world
around her. Only row and then some
great deed, some particular event,
aroused her out of her half-lethargic
state, just as this account of heroism
in Burmah had done. But she soon re-
lapsed again, as she did here. into her
dreamy sadness, and into wondering
several times n day what had been the
fate of her long-lost lover.
1t was some two months after the
events narrated above in connection
with the heroic act had taken place
that Robert Connell, a private in the
til lancers, returned to England-to
London-with his regiment, at the close
of the struggle in the far east. News of
the Homecoming of the regiment had
circulated far and wide, and after the
Decentralization at the docks the regi-
ment was to proceed to Hounslow. this
being its destination for some time.
Those who had friends or relatives
amongst the men came down in troops
to meet and welcome them, as the Ian
GERS. preceded by their own and other
bands, passed through the city on their
way to the camp. But that great crowd
of cheering thousands was not come

threats, that the center of all this hero
worship. a man of naturally modest
mold, scarcely knew if he stood on his

GOLD AND PROSPERITY.

q Discrepancy single Standard Orr

WHY do bank clearances, as a rule,
show decreases over last year? Why
Is the volume of transactions in the
>teel and iron trade so small, and prices
for everything on the metal schedules
20 low2
These questions are important in
view Of the actual presence OF the con-
ditions which the country was told last
year was necessary to prosperity. Ac.
cording to the average gold standard
organ, these conditions have been here
for some time, but in recent issue Of
the Pittsburgh Gazette, their presence
is asserted in these strong words:
1.-THE one country In the world which can
spare any gold at the present time Is the
United States. This country has more of
Il than she can make profitable use OF.
Thanks to the overthrow Of the Decent
dollar party last year, the countrys Imam
eial system is on solid basis once more.
A year or two ago we were buying gold
from Europe. At prescott we can safely sell
few millions of 1t to any nation which IL
n need"
This being so, why do we continue to
have suspensions of banks and failures
of commercial houses? Why is there
want of confidence" which prevents
the investment of capital? Why is not
confidence" restored on the basis of
millions of dollars in gold coin locked
up in the banks and treasury vaults?
Why do real estate prices languish,
and why are investors with confidence
In the future of values hard to find?
We have gold to spare, have wet
''This country" says the leading re-
publican organ, "has more gold than
she can make profitable use Of" In adj
dition to that condition, all danger of
"silyer imitation" and Republication" il
over Still we see that conditions go on
breaking banks, closing the doors of
old mercantile establishments through
out the country, and forcing the sale
of property at ruinous sacrifices. La
Dor is still unemployed -wage-workers
are still feeling the effects of the de-
preston of business.
If the gold is here, and ''the coun-
try's financial system is on a solid
basis once more" where are the ''con-
fidencc" and prosperity" that were to
come with these conditions Illinois

A Slight Error Discovered I'm ThHA
Goldife Item.
The Detroit Journal, commenting
upon Mr.. Bryan's proposed trip around
the world, among other things, says:
Truly the campaign of education is
continuing one, and 1T would not be sur
prising if Mr.. Bryan learned in Europe
that what France attempted to do in
1896, by free and unlimited issue Of
assignats ard failed disastrously to ac-
compIish, the United States cannot do
with success. by the free and unlimited
stamping oil dollar marks on 80 cent
dices of silver"
The Journal should not seek to be-
fuddle its readers with such trash. It
was the flooding of France with paper
assignats that brought about the revo-
luton, and finally succeeded in piaS-
ing France upon a proper monetary
basis in 1903 through the coinage of
silver and gold, at the ratio Of fifteen
and one-half to one. This ratio Is In
force to-day, and has made the French
as people better oft than those of any
other nation. That also accounts for
the paucity of French emigranis to
other countries. Would the Journal
have its constituents infer that the
American people are not equal 70 the
