No Privileges for the "Ex.v

Ex-Gov. William j. Stone of Missouri
was at the capitol to-day, and was an
Interested listener during Senator VOL
cott's address in the Senate on the work
done by the bimetallic commission abroad,
says the Washington espondence of
the Chicago Tribune. When Senator
WolcOu had concluded Gov. Stone left
the chamber and drifted over toward the
House 10 meet some of his old friends
among the congressman. On the way he
lighted cigar. He had not proceeded al y
farther than the Supreme Court chamber
when an officer stepped up to him and
said: You cannot smoke here, sir"
Can't !? Why not?" asked the Gov
ernor
It's against the rules sir
IAN right; we won't break the rules -
said the Governor, and with that he knock
ed the light off his cigar. He was little
''riled' at the interference, and as he
went along he chewed the end of the ci-
gar with violence. AS he came into the
statuary hal he spat out some of the to-
bacco juice. An attendant, who was
said: You must not spit on the floor,
sir"
It's against the rules, is it?" said the
Governor, sarcastically.
'Yes, sir answered the attendant.
We'll" said the Governor TO Judge
Spencer, who accompanied him, things
have changed since I was here. A man
could smoke and spit where he pleased
in those days. Plutocracy certainly is in
trenched in the nations capitol"
Just then Congressman JOY or st.
Louis happened along. and Gov. Stone re-
lated his experience to him. Mr.. Joy told
him that the attendants had informed him
rightly as to the rules
But" put in Judge Spencer, ct saw
two members smoking in the corridors.
Don't the rules apply to them?''

II have troubles of my own in Ohio"
said Senator Hanna to a Georgian in
Washington the other day. And it was
probably true. One of Senator Hanna's
constantly recurring troubles in Ohio is
trying to make his employees work for
wages which they think are less than they
ought to have. He is now having some
fresh troubles with the workmen ia his
shipyard at Cleveland.

A Washington journal which is. pub
lished in the interest of pension attor-
neys and pensioners, says that pension
payments are no burden upon the people
since they are made from money which
would be collected anyway, and which the
people demand shall be collected, for the
protection of agriculture and manufac-
lures, and the manufacture and sale of
bogus butter" That is pensioners wav
of looking at 1.-THE money would be-
collected anyway" And the protection
lists insist that It must be collected for
the purpose of paying PENSIONS! Between
these two specious arguments the people
are constantly bled of their millions.

II is difficult to understand what inter
est this government has in the killing Of
Col. Ruiz in Cuba. Ruiz was not an Amer
lean citizen, he was not an agent of this
government. He was a Spanish subject,
and was killed on Spanish soil by those
whom Spain claims to be also her sub
jects. The United States have no more
to do with the case of Ruiz than they
would have to do with the case of a sub
ject of the Sultan of Turkey killed in the
heart of his empire. A disposition to med
die in other peoples business is a very
bad fault

for the reason chat holding the office
would make it necessary for him to work
one hour each Sunday. The people can
NOT understand how ne could have pulled
such a conscience as that through the
Kansas legislature.

ably true that some Of the newspapers of
New York need regulating" but it ought
to be possible to reach such papers

A Great Money Market.

Capitalists of New York are beginning
to feel that the time is not distant when
that city will be wholly independent of
the rest of the world as money mar
ket. Until within the last few years it
was slaVishly dependent upon London.
Its scope, strength and independence have
increased so greatly recently that it now
feels it ask no odds of London
1t is pretty well understood that Lon
don would now be shipping great guam
titles of gold to New York if she were
not such large borrower from this coun-
try. There are various estimates of the
amount of American money now held in
Europe on which interest is being paid.
The lowest estimate is SlO,OOOCO0 and the
largest $G0OOO,OOO.
The paying to the government of the
very large sum which was due for the
Union Pacific Railroad was an achieve
ment that would have caused a good
deal of a stir in financial circles in Lon
don. In New York. however, il did not
cause ripple of excitement The money
was provided by few New York banks
and no stringency in the money market
was caused.
AS Illustrating the volume of money in
New York it may be stated that one
bank has deposits amounting to
$92,O0A00O Besides the banks there
are many very wealthy men who have
millions of dollars which they loan out
as the opportunity to do so presents it,
self, and wealthy corporations such as
the Standard Oil Company. the Sugar
trust, the Arbuckle coffee house and the
trust, guarantees and life Insurance COM
panies which are nearly always looking
for opportunities to utilize the vast sums
of money they have on hand. New York
is not of course on a level yet with Lon
don as a money market, but she is rapidly
approaching that level. A few more years
and the greatest financial achievements
will be in New York and not in London
at least there are excellent reasons for
thinking that such will he the case.

Defendants Father, Jno. ID. Cason,
Charged With Serious off1nse.
The trial of VIM. A. Cason, for
embezzlement, ETC., was resumed
Wednesday in the Criminal Court
at Nashville, after allowing the
attorneys for the defense several
days to investigate the books in
which Cason is charged with max
ing false entries.
There was a sensational develop
ment Monday in connection with
the trial. The attorneys for the
prosecution called the courts atten-
ton to the fact that Cason's father,
John d. Cason, had handed a court
official a list of half dozen men,
and asked that they be summoned
as Jurors in his sons trial. Mr.. Ca
son pleaded ignorance of court prac-
tice and declared that he meant no
wrong. The attorneys for w. A.
Cason requested that investigation
into the fathers case be postponed
until the trial was finished, as they
did not wish the case to be preju-
diced. Pending Investigation,
Judge Anderson required that he
give a $500 bond for his appearance
from day to day.

BURGLARS IN COLUMBIA.
Several Attempts Made to Enter Houses
One of Them Successful.

Several Attempts Made to Enter Houses
One of Them Successful.
Several attempts at burglary have
been made In Columbia during the
past week, only one of them, how
ever, being successful.
Last Sunday night, while Mrs H .
Craig, widow lady living on West
Ninth street, was away from home
attending church, her residence was
entered and $27 80 in cash was stolen.
Mrs. Craig had securely locked the
money in a table drawer and then
hung the keys in a closet. The burg
lar, after gaining his entrance
through a window, went to the
closet and secured the keys and then
unlocked the drawer and pocketed
the money. The case was placed in
the hands Of the police, with the re-
suit that viii Fleming, l7year-
old colored boy, was arrested Mon
day, charged with the theft. Flem-
ing owned up that he was the guilty
party, ard also confessed TO having
stolen 81 from Mrs. Cra'g about a
month ago. The negro is son of
Mrs. Craig's washwOman, and fire.
Quently came to the house to bring
the clothes home. Saturday, when
Mrs. Craig went to get the money to
pay for the weeks washing, the boy
took note of where the money and
keys were kept, and Sunday ne put
to use the knowledge gained by his
observations. The negro had spent
part of the money when arrested,
Tut his mother supplied the deficit,
and Mrs. Craig, not wishing to pros
ecute him, he was turned loose.
Someone also made an attempt
last Sunday night to enter the resi-
dence of Mr.. r, G. Church on West
Seventh street. Mr.. Church was
aroused from his slumbers by noise
at the window, and, seeing a man
trying to raise the sash, he started
to get his pistol. Failing to find it,
however, he spoke to the intruder
and invited him to leave his prem.
ises, which he promptly did.
Gordon Wood, negro boy, was
arrested Sunday, charged with at
tempting to break into the store OF
]. ID. Blount q Co., near the depot
last Saturday night. Wood had
stolen the key to the front door from
Mr.. Blount, but he was foiled in his
attempt to enter by the door being
securely bolted on the inside. When
brought before Judge Whitthorne
Monday far trial he waived eXami
nation and was bound over to the
Circuit Court.

Card Of Thanks.

When the troubles of life come
upon us, then it is that friends are
more pr, cious than gold. Even the
darkest hour may be guided by the
dawn of hope, when friends cluster
around us with their words of consO-
lation and their tender ministrations.
We can never forget the friends who
have recently been so kind to us;
who so lavishly covered the casket
containing the body of one we so
dearly loved, with floral love offer
ings. Words cannot tell the graft
tude of our hearts. We can only
hope and pray that God may raise
up for them such friends, in their
every hour of need.
