The opinion is gaining ground in
Paris that the Humberts will never
be punished for their gigantic swim
dles-the greatest in modern criminal
history. The belief is becoming gen.
eral that the government really has
no desire to bring the Humberts to
trial, and that the public mind is be-
ing prepared for the discharge of the
prisoners. An official was quoted day
or two ago as saying that it would
be extremely difficult to convict the
Humberts of fraud upon the fact that
certain bonds We're not discovered in
a certain safe, where they were sup
posed to be. Nine. Humbert continues
self-possessed and asserts that her
American friends, the Crawfords, will
turn up at the proper time to vindi-
cate her good name.

A report from San Francisco says
there(are persistent rumors in that
city that the Fair viii case has been
settled by the payment of $780, to
the heirs of Mrs. Charles l.. Fair. 1t
will be recalled that Mr. and Mrs.
Charles L. Fair were killed in France
in an automobile accident. The ques-
ton of the distribution of their prop
.erty turned ON which of them died
first. 1t was at first believed, or as
sumed. that the man, being the strong
er, lived a few minutes longer than the
woman. Recently, however, it was
announced that the heirs OF Mrs. Fair
had procured evidence proving that
Mr.. Fair died first. which would have
made his wife heir TO his property, and
that they would make fight on that
line. II the case has been settled by
compromise, IL probably means there
was basis Of truth in the claim Of
Mrs. Fairs heirs, that she survived
her hubbard.

Senator Tillman has got a second
joke on Uncle joe Cannon. It will
be remembered that when the Senator
made so vigorous and successful a
stand for the retention in the deficien-
cy bill of an item to pay South Caro-
lima an old war claim of s47.245, Rep
resentative Cannon made a sensational
protest in the House against the
"holding-up" of Congress. II now ap-
pears that South Carolina will get al
most twice as much as the sum named
in the appropriation bill, since the
language of the law is that the claim
shall be paid, land interest on the
same at 4 per cent. per annum until
paid" This interest runs back to Jan.
l, 1881. The Controller of the Treas
ury has affirmed this view of the mat
ter, hence South Carolina will receive
$41,SS1.61 in addition to the specific
amount appropriated.

BOOK 2.-Chapter XVI.
All Rights Reserved

When the tortures we inflict upon
each other through these instrumen-
talities become so horrible they can
no longer be borne, and we rush into
each others arms and accept mu-
tual sympathy and love as our only
deliverer, and so form Trust of the
Human Species" then-and not till
then-will the dread monster oe gov
ernment, with its murders, its pillage,
its imprisonments, its tortures and
nameless misery and anguish for suf-
fering humanity cease to be neces--
sity and pass away as scroll when
1t is rolled together"
Until the race shall learn wisdom
enough to walk in that simple,
straight pathway, it would alleviate
their miseries here to scrape from the
tortured body of mankind these
leeches, who necessarily suck their
life blood, through the usurpation OF
the taxing power, exercised by, the
gold trust, under authority of world
wide statutes, authorizing the free
coinage" of its gold, and giving it's
gold when thus coined the sole
power to satisfy tax levies and judg-
ments "of the public Offices and in
the courts" of every nation.
Out OF this fundamental iniquity
| springs a multitude of kindred ini-
quities, which for ages have tortured
poor suffering humanity, and produced
such universal anguish as must pierce
| the heart Of devils and excite them to
pity. There is celebrated group of
statuary called LAGOON" Wrapped
in the Shiny coils of the immense SER
pents, and impotent to escape, the
| father and his two sons in dumb hor-
ror hopele3sly struggle against the in
evitable.
| 1t may be dot btful what it was the
author of that wonderful work of art
meant to symbolic. But whatever
may have been the purpose Of it's
sculptor, that group does truly typify
in realistic and naked horror the
| dread condition of mankind today,
| enveloped in the suffocating folds of
those two pythons, Tax Levies and
Judgments, payable in nothing except
the gold of the gold trust, which cam
not be obtained by the oppressed peo-
pie, except upon such terms Of ruinous
sacrifice, prompted by greed, as now
condemn to poverty and distress more
than half of the human race.
