say the republican party cannot; for, as
party II is committed TO the mainte-

slderation of honor and fair dealing re-
quires that it shall retain this position
Nv ny IS it, Senator Caffery was ask

are so pronounced in their free silver
views?"
Il think that is principally due to the
lack or our banking facilities. There is
no more reason why the people of my
state, for instance, should have either
sentimental or practical interest in silver
than those Of New England, where little,
II any, such sentiment prevails. Our peo-
pie believe, however, that the free coin
age OF silver will give them more money.
Many of them have become strongly i'm
pressed with this idea. If they can be
convinced that a banking currency issued
upon commercial assets with sufficient
gold reserve with authority for the banks
TO establish branches, would afford them
an adequate medium of exchange, a large
proportion would be entirely satisfied
believe such a currency Is exactly what
the south needs, and that it would extend

OF the hostility to the banks that exists
under the restrictions of the national
banking act, and would afford the conve-

people so much feel the need. There is
no reason why strong southern support
should not be given to a proper banking
plan, even so moderate a measure as Sec
rotary Gage intends to propose, if the sub
Ject is properly presented and thoroughly
discussed. While currency reform is Of
great Importance to the business men of
the north and east, in order to prevent dis
trust and business paralysis it is of per-
haps greater Importance in the south be-
cause of the lack there of a proper means
of doing business.
The people of Louisiana especially
ought to rejoice at legislation which
would substantially restore their system
of banking, existing at the outbreak of the
war That system to be perfect only re-
quires in addition banks of smaller capital
such as Secretary Gage proposes, or branch
banks located in the country districts, to
the end that each locality could enjoy the
utilization of all its credits and a safe and

THORN ORDERED TO THE CHAIR.
EIectrOcution to Occur In the Week
Beginning Jan. 10.


Beginning Jan. 10.
New York, Dec. 3.-Martin Thorn, or
Torcezwisl1y convicted on Monday of the
murder of William Gudensuppe, was to-
day sentenced to be electrocuted in the
week beginning Jan. TO- 1898
When Thorn was brought into court in
Long Island City, he stepped as briskly,
walking between two officers as he had
done on the days when he was on trial
He preserved the same, calm, impertur-
bable expression of countenance that he
had worn at every crisis in the working
out of his fate during his trial. and when,
as a preliminary to the passing of the
sentence of death, Justice Maddox nut
the question to him, he responded prompt
~, collectively and with no outward evil
dence of emotion.
my name, said the murderer, "is Tor
cezwisky. 1 was born in Germany and
am IS years of age 1 am a barber; have
neved been in prison before. l was brought
up in the religious belief of the Roman
Catholic church. 1 can read and write.
My father is living. l am not married"
Then Judge Maddox proceeded to pass
sentence solemnly and mpressive1y. He
said: Thorn, you were indicted charged
with having premedtatedly and deliber-
ately designed ana caused the death of
William Guldensuppe. You have had a
fair trial, in the course of which you were
defended by the most able and astute coun-
sell They could not have done more for
you. Every effort was made by them to
save you. After that the jury found you
guilty of murder in the first degree, and the
punishment for that is death.
Reflect upon it, Reflect upon the death
of him whom you slew. 1t is the duAy of
the court to fix a time for the execution
the law pronounced the punishment I
shall give you a reasonable time-the law
permits me to do that. 1t is needless for
me to say anything touching the facts in
this case more than to say the evidence
justffies the verdict.
The judgment of the court is that YOU
shall be taken hence to the state prison
al Sing Sing within a reasonable time, ana
that you shall be executed in the form pre-
scribed by law in the week beginning Jan.
10, 1898"
Thorn listened without moving a muscle
and when the judge had finished he in
clined his head slightly forward as if
bowling to the court. The pisoner's law
yer then handed up an affidavit applying
for an appeal.
Justice Maddox took the affidavit and
will pass on it later. Thorn was then led
to the Jail below

The reporter Of Tie Courier hearing of a
terrible malady with which a young and
handsome lady of Cumberland, Md, was
afflicted, called at the residence OF Mr.. Michael
Darr, 5S Frederick street, to learn something
of it.
Mrs. Darr SAID that her daughter Rosele,
aged 90 years, had been afflicted with dis
ease that apparently had turned her bltAl
to water, accompanied by nervous prOstra-
ton, pains, loss of appetite, etc, making life
a burden.
The family physician was consulted, but
his treatment brought no relief, and her
daughters existence was . dragging misery.
The mother also said that her daughter
accidentally cut her finger rather severely,
and they were astounded to notice that no
blood came from the wound Then" said
the mother, ." / was convinced that my
daughters blood had really turned to water "
Mrs. Darr, continuing, said she had read
of the merits of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, and had little faith in such
remedies, but finally purchased a box at
Mr.. Hervey Laney's drug store on North
Centre street.
After her daughter, Roselle, had taken
one box slight improvement was noticed
in her condition the remedy was continued
and after three and a half boxes were taken
her daughters health was restored.
THE reporter naturally had desire to see
the young lady after hearing these remark
able statements, but was informed that she
was out of the city on q visit
Mr.. Michael Darr, the father of the young
lady, is passenger engineer on the B. and
D. railroad and is an experienced and popu-
lar railroad man.

RELIEF FOR THE KLONDIKE.
Portland Chamber of Commerce
Alive to the situation.

POrtland Chamber or commerce
Alive to the situation.
Washington, Dec. 3.-Secretary 'Alger re-
ceived telegram this morning in regard
to the destitute miners in the Klondike
country from NJ. S. Mason and H. r.
Lewis representing the Portland Cham
Der of Commerce. and the Klondilke relief
committee of that chamber
It reads as follows: 1T is most graft
flying to the citizens of this great country
that the President and yourself have en-
listed in the cause that has threatened
citizens in the far northwest, and your
responses to our efforts to obtain govern
ment aid for the relief expedition, which
we prayed for, has been prompt and full
of encouragement
Situated as we are, at the terminus
of one of the great Alaskan lines of steam
ers and having many of our fellow citi-
zens in all the northern ports, our facili-
ties for obtaining reliable reports as to the
condition of the people on the banks Of
the Yukon could not be surpassed, and we
foresaw the terrible condition of affairs
which has been made manifest to the
world since the arrival of the handful Of
miners who have escaped from the icy
prisons of the far north.
"Our people are united and thoroughly
in earnest and Portland has undertaken
to gather the food products necessary for
the relief of the destitute gold seekers at
our wharves. We win assemble a store
of food as great as the government will
transport and the largest vessel which
they may have at their disposal can be
filled if necessary, unless we totally min
interpret the spirit of the people of the
northwest. Inasmuch as Portland is the
railroad center of the northwest and that
the carriage of all donations to the relief
committee from the surrounding country
has been guaranteed, we desire that the
point of departure of the relief expedition
shall be from this city and trust that so
soon as you may be authorized to under
take the expedition prayed for you will
promulgate an order to this effect With
the utmost considera ton and respect, we
have the honor etc"
The secretary replied at once, saying
that the suggestion would receive due con-
sideration and that he would communicate
with the Klondike relief committee when
congress shan have made the necessary
provisions for the relief of the miners,
and some definite arrangements shall
have been made for the proposed ex-
petition.

TENNEssEE's RAILROAD TAX.
The Carriers Fighting the ASSESS
mcnt of the Commissioners,

Chattanooga, Tenn, Dec. S.-The Issue
was joined to-day in the United States cir
cult court here, Judge Clark presiding in
the cases of the railroad operating in Ten
nessee, against the state board Of tax
equalizers. The suit is brought by the
railroads to test the validity of the act of
the legislature in comforting on the board
of railroad commissioners what they claim
are judicial powers" in making the as
sessment of the railroad property of the
state The point is also made by the rail-
roads that the state had created a board
of assessors in 1895 and empowered them
to assess the railroad property for two
years. and that the railroads had been as
sessed in 1896 for 1897 by these
assessors. The legislature undertook to
relieve the tax assessors of 1895 of the
right conferred on them by the law in
making the assessment and of comforting
that right upon another body, which act
says the railroads. is retroactive and
Therefore, unconstitutional. They charge
further, that the assessment, as made, is
onerous and unjust.
The state denies that the act of 1897,
creating the state board of railroad COM
missioners is retroactive, because the
roads had acquired no rights whatever
under the assessment of 1896 made for
1897; that the assessors of 1895 failed to do
their duty in fixing the proper value on
the railroads was no reason why the rail-
road commission should be asked to neg
lect its duty.
The state undertakes to show that the
assessment of the commissioners is not ex-
orbitant or burdensome but fair and COM
pares reasonably with that of other states.
The railroads ask for an injunction
against the state equalizers TO prevent
them from certifying the assessment of
the commissioners to the controller which
must be done before the tax becomes due
and collectable.
The case will probably not reach de
cision until next Monday Many thousands
of dollars are involved.
