ONLY 10 YEARS IMPRISONMENT

Washington Sept. 9.-There is no
law for the punishment of attempting
the life of the president of the United
States. The question of passing such a
law has been discussed in congress. but
nothing has been done. The president
is citizen of the United States, and
his murder or an attempt ON his life IL
punished as would be the murder or the
attempted murder of any other citizen.
Should this assault upon the president
prove to be murder, the murderer
would be executed either by the laws
of New York or the federal statutes for
the District of Columbia, but should
the president recover the charge
brought against his assailant would be
assault with attempt TO commit murder
In New York, where this would be
assassin must be tried, the seyerest
penalty for assault with attempt to
commit murder. is ten years imprison-
ment, while in the District of Colum-
bia. the penalty for the crime is inn
prisonment from seven to twenty
years. The assault having been within
the jurisdiction of New York the
would-be assassin can receive no great
er punishment than in the penitentiary
for ten years. Had the assault been
committed IN Washington the assailant
could be sentenced TO twenty years
Imprisonment at hard labor.-Ex.

A DEMOCRATIC CAPITALIST.

President Ingalls, of the
Big Four railroad is the right
sort of capitalist. In a re-
cent interview he gave ut
terance to the following ring
ing sentences.
"Our system of taxation is
the crudest on the civilized
earth with possibly the ex-
ception of Turkey and some
of the Oriental countries.
The laws of every State are
different and by means of
this, large aggregations of
capital, avoid paying their
share of the cost of govern
ment. We are just learning
that a franchise tax is the
easiest collected of any, and
probably one of the fairest
ways of raising revenue. OF
course those who manage cor
porations will object, as ev-
erybody does who pay taxes,
but nevertheless it is right
and proper. Those that have
the protection of the State
should bear their share of
tho burdens.
81 have always believed
In an income tax, and have
thought that the decision of
the Supreme court against
the constitutionality of such
a tax the most unfortunate
occurrence of the age. We
should have a tax on all in
comes, large or small eX-
emii a moderate amount as
mus. States exempt a GER
tain amount of property from
execution and levy. This
country is SO rich that, with
a fair system of taxation and
economy in expenditure, the
rate will be so low that it
will not be so oppressive and
thus we will encourage and
protect our small property
holders.

POT OF GOLD.

A pot of gold containing
an amount of the yellow
metal worth something over
500, ZOO was found in a re-
mote precinct of Madison
county, Alabama, Tuesday of
last week by Frank Jacks, a
poor farmer. The gold was
hidden away in a spring,
which has been used for
many years. 1t is believed
that the gold was hidden
during the Civil War. Jacks
is a changed man since the
find, and has shown the
treasure to only his intimate

attention of the people of Columbus TO
the projected railroad from Hickman to
Charleston, which if built, will termi
nate the Green Line traffic over the NJ
Il o. Railroad which is transferred at
this place. The Courier made the
following comment on the Critic

The extension from Charleston TO
Hickman now has the appearance of an
assured fact 1t is the key to a great
trans Mississippi connection long ex-
pected and many times disappointed. -

A MISTAKE.

1.-The following ludicrous
mistake, caused by a hello
girl who made a misconnect-
ion, occurred recently. a
gentleman had called for a
physician and was telling
him how his wife was affiict-
ed and asked him what he
had better do in a case of
that kind? The doctor was
beginning to reply when the
telephone operator, through
mistake, switched the hus-
band on to a machinist who
was giving instructions as to
repairing a boiler. The fol-
lowing conversation took
place: II wouldn't be sur
prised if she were rusty in
side. Have you examined
her lately? 1t might be well
to wash her thoroughly with
a strong solution of concen-
trated I've and then give her
a good coat of paint. If that
don't fix her you had better
get a new one. After they
have been in service as long
as she has they are not much
good anyway. 1t took the
M. ID. some time to convince
the irate husband he had not
recommended the foregoing
statement for his wife.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
..Rradstreet's" saws


Despite some irregularities reports from dfrer
sections and industries, trade as a whole Is or
satisfactory volume for this time of year Relative
ly the best reports come from the Pacific Coast
the South and the Southwest, where spring de-
mand is opening up well. Unreasonable weather
in sections, notably the East. has been a bar
TO activity in retail trade, but, taken whole the
trade situation has many points of strength. Bank
clearings and railroad earnings make very good
comparisons with similar periods in preceding years
while business embarraSSments are about normal
Special activity has been noted in some branches
of the iron trade. and sentiment has been, the
whole helped by clearer view Of the possibilities
contained in the recent war talk. The quieting
down Of business abroad naturally points to some
dminution of our export trade In the cruder forms
OF iron and steel, copper and lumber. but for fin
ished products of these and other staples the
look is declared to be still satisfactory Speculation
is limited to nearly all lines of produce and in
stocks, and il is probable that cearings returns
present give clearer idea of actual business than
for three months past. Prices show few important
changes, the cereals being slightly higher. while
hog products and coffee lower. with dairy
products weak. The general range of other values
is, on the whole, steady, although some shading
in the higher grades of wool has occurred.

RONnS.
THE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS,

Trading in stocks was light an irregular
movement OF values. Early prices were heavy
hut covering of shorts subsequently caused au-
Vances which as rule were maintained untll
the close. The professional character OF specu-
1etion was more marked than in Thursdays S
dealings while the absence of interest from
Ranking houses was more apparent than on any
day in many weeks. Commission houses had
few orders on either side of the market. The
fact that Thursdays decline was not followed
nv active liquidation yesterday proved TO most
minds that the public holdings of stocks are
light and that the greater part of the available
supply of securities is held by people who are
not inclined TO sell at current prices. There is
no inducement to SELL and conditions governing
values and important declines therefore appear
out Of the question. Speculation has developed
two sides. but just as soon as important IN
terests decide to return to the market the pro-
fessionaI element will again be forced to the
rear. while the bear side viii merely serve as
graveyard for the hopes and bank accounts OF
traders who seek to oppose capital and progress.
Meanwhile confident holders have cause for
alarm in passing recessions. If stocks work to
a lower level, so much the better for the follow
ing advance. Stocks that possess merit should
not be sold on any of the prevailing factors gov
erning values
There are doubtless several important railway
deals pending, but the chances are that consld-
cradle time will pass before they will be in con-
dition for public announcement In the South
west something of Importance is going on, and
it is still thought that the st. Paul deal is under
consideration. The present year Will undoubt-
edly be prolific with great developments in the
railway and industrial world, and Wall Street
has merely to wait in order to share in greater
profits than any that have yet been made. Ad-
Kancing values yesterday reflected the scarcity
Of stocks and the caution among the trading
element in its operations on the short side Short
lines put out Thursday covered yester-
day, but the so-called Waldorf crowd said
10 be bearish. The Southwestern stocks were
features particularly Missouri, Kansas and
Texas preferred, in which transactions were said
10 be for the account Of the people who recently
accumulated Missouri Pacific. The railroad list
IN general closed at net gains. The industrials
were irregular, but generally strong at the
close.
Preliminary estimates of the movement Of
money this week place a gain of over $1,000
known movement resulted in receipts from the
anterior OF more than SSO00O0O and a loss on
gold exports Of 100000 Money rates are
easy. and call money is lending as low as 1902
per cent, while time money may be had at low
figures, with good proportion Of industrial
stocks In the collateral The decrease in the
Federal Treasury's gold in the general fund and
the increase in outstanding gold certificates are
due to the settlement in gold certificates Of the
large debit balances Of the Sub-Treasury al the
local Clearing House.

IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.
Rogers, Brown & Co. say:

When the air is cleared up 1t will be found that
the various iron interests have plenty of business
at fair prices, ana have no more murderous inten-
tions against each other than they have always
had. The operations of the law of supply and de-
mand will govern markets in the future as In the
past. Production viii be large If only the demand
is good. The real facts of the market are quite
different from those pictured. The situation is the
reverse of that year ago. There is now very
larce consumption in all branches of the Industry
Production is rather under than over consumption
Prices low TO stimulate further increase OF
demand. The principal works full of orders
and II is disordered Imagination that foresees a
worse condition the year advances The weeks
sales have been below the normal but heavier
buying must commence again soon. many large

NORTHERN pAoIF1C's ORDER FOR CARS.

The Northern Pacific Railway Company has Just
placed an order with the American Car and Foun-
dry Company for 4.25O cars. This Is one OF the
largest genuine orders given to any car build
ire COMPANY and Il will be followed by other big
contracts which are about be closed by the Amer
lean Car and Foundry Company with large Western
and Eastern roads. In addition 10 the Northern
Pacfc's order. the following roads have closed con-
tracts for new equipment with the American Car

senger and 100 freight cars; miscellaneous 575 coal
and 40 box and gondOla for export The con-
tracts generally call for the first deliveries in two
months from the time of the order. and the fact
that the railroads pressed for new cars has
made ii impossible for many concerns TO turn out
fast enough to meet the requirements OF the
railroads II is owing to the extent and facilities
of the American Car and Foundry Company's
works and Its ability supply the roads according
to contract that so large proportion of current
orders is being secured by the company. The
countrys prosperity is reflected in railway pros
perity, and railway prosperity is TN orders
for new equipments. The Railroad Gazette re-
ports the following orders.
The Philadelphia and Reading has ordered so

the Atchison is considering increasing its present
