been SO sharply handled in h public

it is announced that no more bonds will

Germ benefits will stop with the SIT, $780,
900 of internal revenue receipts now
called for. Senator Allen, of Nebras-
ka, and Representative Lentz, of Ohio,
will offer resolutions of inquiry. 1t is
desirable to know precisely what are the
relations of the United States treasury
with Wall Street financiers. The con-

For some time the newspapers and
magazines have had much to say of the
next century-when it began. Much
discussion has come of it. Why there
has beer any contention or misunder-
standing as to it we have not been able
to see. We supposed every n under
stood that a century, from the Latin
word centum, a hundred not
possibly mean ninety-nine years. You
would be as correct to say that eleven
made a dozen The first century Gan
no Domini) after Christ lasted 100 years
and not SO years as is the absurd con-
tent5on of some.
We turn to Webster's International
Dictionary and FIND this, which we
copy for the benefit of those who are
perplexed or befuddled:
~Century-An aggregate Of an hun
dred things. A period of one hundred
years.
Century-consisting of a period one
hundred years ending with the humid
reth year, from which it is named; as
the first century-A- ID. loo inclusive;
| tenth century-as 1707-1S00.
Sc the nineteenth century mas not
| closed and cannot close until the 100
years are completed. Beginning with
1901, it requires 1900 TO complete the
hundred. When h present year ends.
and not until then, will the century be
completed, ended. The able Richmond
CVa.) Central Presbyterian says: His
torians tell US hat the same question
has arisen every hundred years of the
Christian era, and all along there have
been those, as there are now, who are
hard to convince that there is yet an
other year given. Whatever progress
the world has made, we are glad that
a year yet remains before the twentieth
century begins"

Members of the Camden County Bar
Association have prepared a bill which
provides that a jury may indicate in
their verdict in murder cases whether
the punishment shall be hanging or not.
It is said that Judge Garrison is in fay.
or of giving jurors this discretion. The
bill as at present drafted reads as fol-
lows: .Be it enacted by the Senate and
General Assembly of the State Of New
Jersey that in all cases where q person
is indicted for murder and is found
guilty of murder in the first degree,
that the jury may qualify their verdict
thereto without capital punishment
and whenever q person is convicted by
such qualified verdict he or they shall
be sentenced to imprisonment at hard
labor for life." Judge Garrison, Geo.
J. Bergen and F. Morse Archer com.
pose the committee having the new law
in charge. and it is said the subject
will be brought up at q meeting Of the
association in few days. The Bar
Association Of other counties will be
asked to cooperate in securing the pas
sage of the law. This looks like an en-
terihg wedge to abolish capital punish.
ment. It throws all the responsibility
OF the law AID the judge on to the jury
and makes them the Law. which should
not be done. Too many murderers now
escape punishment and when one is to
be hung all the people should be held
responsible for the hanging and not
twelve men.
