until the expiration of the terms for
which they were elected-until Ian. a.
1898.
This is the decision of the supreme
court in the case brought to determine
the status of public prosec tors. The
decision was handed down this MORN

disposes of every point at issue. The
district attorneys cannot be superseded
until the people at the next general cleo
ton under the legislation enacted at the
present session shall have chosen county
attorneys in accordance with the pro.
visions of the amendment to the consti-
tuition adopted at the last election. This
case was brought by S. H. HAYES, who
was appointed county attorney by the
new board of Ada county, against c. M.
Hays, district attorney for the Third
district, and was in. the form of petition

London, Jan. zo.-Quite a sensation
occurred in Old Bailey this morning
when the trial of Edward J Ivory, the
J alleged dynamiter, came to an abrupt
close, the solicitor general announcing
that no evidence had been shown i'm.
plicating Ivory with buying explosives

dered the jury to find Ivory not guilty
and he was discharged The sudden
collapse Of the governments cass Gre

In discharging Ivory, Judge Hawkins
said to him keep no more doubtful

trouble Look TO your future"
Inspector Melville, the chief of Scot

arrest of Ivory, was the first to congrat-
ulate the defendant after his release,

Melville expressed the hope that the now
free men would lay to heart the warn

bad company in the future, to which
Tvory replied: "You can bet your bot

Ivory told reporter of the United
Associated Presses that he was going to
Dublin and then to America. He said
he had not suffered during his confne-
ment, though he had lost so pounds in
weight

TROUBLE IN INDIA.


From present Indications it would
of serious trouble in Englands Indian
empire. The people of India, although
nominally loyal subjects of the queen,
are in the main at heart disloyal to
everything that savors of England or
English rule. One of the main reasons
for the discomfort among the people is
the famine which has prevailed for sew
eral months. About $4,000 tribesmen
are already arrayed in armed rebellion
against the authority of the English
government, and while many of the
better class of natives are seemingly
loyal to the British crown there is
great fear of a general uprising. The
situation in India is attracting a great
deal OF attention in England. The Lon
don newspapers have been consider
ably alarmed for some time and grave
fears are entertained that unless the
utmost caution is observed there will
be repetition of the uprising of 1857.
Strange as it may seem, a great deal
of the discomfort among the natives is
aroused by the efforts of the English
government to suppress the ravages of
the plague. The stories told by Julian
Hawthorne in the Cosmopolitan Maya
zine of how the natives try to prevent
the health officers from ferreting out
and eradicating the plague seem incred-
ible. Such conditions could not obtain
except among q fanatical, ignorant and
unreasoning class OF people such as
comprise the masses in India.
1t needs but a breath at the proper
moment to fan into a blaze the spirit
of rebellion which prevails among the
people, and should it once break forth |
the Europeans in India, regardless of
condition or sex, would be struck down
by the hordes of unreasoning fanatics /
before England. with all her power, |
could check them.

THE DINGLEY BILL.

The Louisville Courier-Journal of
July 81 prints the following apt edi-
torial in reference to the Dingley bill:
The Courier-Journal has frequently
pointed out that the Republicans habit
ually use statistics of imports and ex-
ports, receipts of revenue, ETC.. without
any regard 10 the condition of business
or the action of other forces. in order
to make points against Democratic leg
islation. They have in no case been led
10 repentance by these exposures OF
their fraudulent practices. They ought
not to complain, therefore, if the same
system IS applied to their legislation.
The doing OF this gives some peculiar
results with reference to the new tariff
On July 20, under the revenue de-
stroying Wilson law, the receipts from
customs were 81, 679, 631. On July q. I'M
der the same law, they were 50. 433. 49,
On July %, the Wilson law being still
in force. they were 81, 1913 $50.
The new tariff bill was signed at 1907
p m, Saturday, July q, though it has
been ruled that it took effect at mid
night preceding. We shall waive this
question here, for there is no doubt that
the bill was in force on Monday, July
26. On that day the receipts from Gus
toms were $674,521; on July q they were
S195.5S5.
The new tariff bill, therefore. stands
out as a deficit producer. Republicans.
of course, will say that it Will improve
after a time. But they always refused
to admit this as an excuse for the de-
fciencies under the Wilson bill. They
references to the income tax
which was relied on to produce $50 000,-
600 or more a year. and which at that
rate would have covered the deficit.
They suppress references to the state
of business which reduced imports. In
short, they made just such arguments
as that made above, which is a good
one, according to Republican prece-

A MIXED FINANCIAL POLICY.

and its supporters, so far as developed.

publish the following communication
from a well known gentleman who oc-
cupies an independent point of view:
Editor Herald: In common with many
of my friends all good supporters of
the principle of bimetallism- have
been much amused at the recent aero
bate feats of the Tribune editor in
trying to hold up the hands of the
president" Even under the most favor
able circumstances this would seem to
be a waste of energy. 1t has not been
explained how the cause of bimetallism
in London, Paris and Berlin would be
strengthened if all silver men should
abase themselves before Mckinley,
shouting, THE king can do'no wrong.
Great is the king" But when the king
gives one hand to support the gold
standard and stretches the other TO
coquet with bimetallism, silver men
generally will have enough sense and
consistency not to follow the Tribune
ludicrous example.
A few facts will show why it is that
not all men believe any good will come
out of the Wolcott commission. When
the senate was considering the sugar
tariff the learned senators were unable
to agree as to the meaning of the pro-
posed schedules. Not so the gentlemen
on Wall street who made millions out
of sugar stock in a few hours. Even so,
men are in doubt as 10 the results or

LYNcHERs IN GEORGIA.


Governor Atkinson of Georgia has
determined that. so far as he is con-
cerned, lynching shall be suppressed in
his state. A DR.. Ryder was killed by
a mob some time ago, some Is citizens
taking part in the lynching. They
evidently did not know what kind of a
governor they had to deal with, be-
cause they made no particular efforts
to conceal their identity; at least, the
governor claims to have the names CT
several and he has offered rewards
ranging from 500 to $500 for the ar
rest and conviction of the entire party.
The largest rewards are for the three
ringleaders. whose names the governor
claims to have.
He has also offered rewards of 500
each for the arrest of any person who
tries to prevent by any means the ar
rest of the lynchers. This action On
the part of the governor has struck
terror to the hearts of the men en-
gagged in this particular lynching
Speaking of the matter, the governor
said that if one man had killed Ryder
while he was under arrest he would
have been guilty of murder, and that
as Is men killed him, they were no less
guilty than the one would have been.
The Atlanta Journal, speaking of the
matter, SAYS:
If the lynchers of Ryder are to go
scot free, Why may not any man COM
mission himself as the avenger Of crime
ana shoot down any prisoner whom he
believes to be guilty?
1t would be easy for an individual TO
do this in any case. He might murder
the prisoner in the courthouse and in
doing so would be no more guilty than
when he joins a mob to do what he
fears to do alone.
The theory of the murderers who go
in mobs IS that there is safety in num-
bers. Collectively they commit a deed
which not one of them would dare to
commit by himself This adds the in
fanny of cowardice to the crime CT muir
der. a single desperate assassin is less
dangerous to the peace of society, 10
the administration of law and the
course OF justice than band of as
sasSins who. II cold blood. band them
selves together to commit their pre-
meditated villainy.
Governor Atkinson is determined to
show that Georgia is not a community
of lynchers; that II is a land of law and
order, and that so tar as his power can
go no murder shall go UNPUBLISHED
in this state, whether committed by
one man or many.
The governor has done what he can.
What viii the lawabiding people of
Talbot county do?
Without their aid the governor, the
officers of the law and the courts are
powerless. The names of the lynchers
of Ryder are known. Will the people
of Talbot county permit them to go
of justice, or will they bring
them to the penalty which their foul
and dastardly deed deserves?
1t is to be hoped that the governor
will succeed, and that mis- efforts in |
this case will have a salutary effect |
in the future. Il would be we'll for
the governors of several of the other
southern states to follow the example |
set by Governor Atkinson.

in which he relates that an eclipse of the
sun occurred at Athens during the sum-
mer OF the first year of the Peloponnesian
war. which was so nearly total that the
stars were visible; he also tells that there
was another eclipse of the sun at the
very beginning of the summer of the
eighth year of the war and one of the
moon during the 18th year
Although from other than astronomical
reasons the date of the beginning of the
war has been considered well determined,
it has been impossible by computing
backward with the old tables to place all
three eclipses as related. Mr.. Stockwells
new tables make complete coincidence
for the frst two, which had been hitherto
unreconcila bic. and this is still further
strengthened by checking up on the lunar
eclipse, which is also referred to in the
50th chapter of the seventh book of the
Histories. The coincidence is absolutely
complete.
- mis- date, then, of the beginning of
the PeloDonnesian war in Ash b. c., is
probably the most firmly established one
in ancient times, and its final proof rests
upon eelipses.
Without expanding upon the data
given by historians for the Investigations
made by the help of the eclipse period,
Mr.. Stockwell establishes the following
among others:
Jerusalem was destroyed by Titus in
60 A. D., instead of 70 A. d.
Augustus Caesar died in August, Is A.
D., and not in IA A. d.
Julius Caesar was assassinated in
March, 40 B. c.. and not in "A B. C.
The era of the Olgmpiads began in
July, "a B. c., and not in 7s6 B. C.
