Unouarded at Niuht.

The sheriff of Jefferson County is paid many times more than the Gov ernor of the State, and perhaps ten times more than Judge Samuel E. Greene or any other judge is paid. He 1 is the highest-paid official in the State. l his pay ranging from s15000 to $30,- 900 a year, and yet he left a jail full of prisoners practically unwatched at night, The night warden says: q have no business going in the jail at night unless some disturbance takes place. i did not go in last night. We have had no regular night watchman inside the jail since Miller was hanged" Further on in The Age-Heralds ac- count of the Duncan jail delivery Is this statement, which stands uncon- tradicted:
 There is no watchman or warden inside the jail at night. Just after the attempted escape of Miller and Duncan a night watchman was put inside the jail by Sheriff Burgin and kept there until Miller was hanged It is customary also to have a death watch set shortly before a pris- oner is executed. While Duncan was un- der sentence of death his case had been appealed to the Supreme Court and the death watch had not been set, as there was a possibility he might get a new trial. Now the question is, how much must a sheriff be paid in Jefferson County in order to enable him to maintain a watchman in the jail at night? The saving of salary may be very pleas ant to the sheriff, but it Is not re. assuring to the people.
 Altogether the case calls fof rigid investigation, and if action is not taken within the county, it becomes Governor Jelks' duty to see that the facts are brought out. Gross negli- gence led to the escape of Duncan and his companions. The nature of that negligence should be ascertained, and the responsibility for it located with view to the prevention of a repetition at any time. Jail deliv- cries of the Duncan sort are not de- sirable occurrences, and unless this one be searchingly investigated there will be no assurance that there will not be more of like sort. It is at any rate certain that the jail was un- watched at night, and that the pris- oners were free to work their will, especially after they were supplied with full outfit of tools.

FRAUD AGAINST THE FRENCH. How Senator Morgan CharacterIzea
 the Panama Canal Offer.


 Washington, January 2.-Senator Mor- gan, speaking of the canal question, saidy
 "The offer of the French Panama canap Company to sell out to the United States Is, on the. face of 1t, proposal to involve this government in stupendous fraud against the French people, who own stock and bonds in the old Panama Companys to wipe out their holdings, amounting to SOo,O0O,O0O francs in bonds and 600, GOO 900 francs in interest-bearing stock, and to place this government between the conn., pany and the people they would rob.
 "If we allow ourselves to become a party to this fraud we will lose the re- fpect of the nations of the world as an, Ronest. clean government, and will de- llroy that friendly feeling which has ex-
 ted between France and this govern
 Tn since the birth of the American re-
 Iblic."

Two Great Bands.

''This country is large enough to sup port two large concert bands-Sousa's s and Innes'," said we'll known musician.
 ''Eousa's and Innes' bands are on a par so far as artistic personnel is concerned. In the matter of programme Innes is su- perior to Sousa. When Innes played here last winter he gave a delightful pro- gramme It was semi-classic This char acter of music will be in vogue tonight.
 "Sousa was once leader of the United States Marine band at Washington. He would have been there today had Con- gress passed the bill which he drew and which was passed some years after he quit Among the provisions of his meas ure was one making the director of the band a commissioned officer with the rank and pay of second lieutenant. Sousa pledged the Navy Department that if the bill was passed he would remain; other wise he would bid farewell, he said, to government music. Sousa was good to his word in giving up the marine band but 1t was money in his pocket He is worth several hundred thousand dollars today, every dollar of which he has made since he struck out for himself"
