Considering the fact that silver
continues on the decline, having
reached the almost absurd price of a
traction over forty eight cents per
ounce, it is interesting to speculate
what would have been the result had
the United States adopted the free
coinage ideas which so many of us
ardently advocated in times past. 1t
is fair to assume that the price
would have kept up little better.
but We are frank in admitting that
TINS government, single-handed and
alone, would have had an uphill
light on the money market. Taking
results into consideration-the great.

THE recent card in the Fredericks-
burg papers of James p. Saunders
mas set many to thinking. He is
close to our court officials, particu-
larly the Commonwealth Attorney.
and when he asserts that the speak
easy men go on violating the law,
and the fines against them are
not collected, it is calculated to make
law-abiding citizens and heavy tax.
payers stop to think. In short. Mr..
Saunders has made severe attack
on his friends, the county officials.
and the matter cannot be passed by.
1t is within the purview now of the
grand jury. If Mr.. Saunders knows
whereof he speaks he should tell it
to the jury, and matters be "righted"
IN this county, After next court we
may review the work done in prose-
cutting liquor law violators and record
the fines asessed and collected.
While on this line, is it not strange
that several shooting scrapes should
occur at White Stone around a
place whose proprietor has been
fined for running speakeasy ?
These things are passed too light
iy by grand juries and courts.
In recent case, though not simi-
lar, at Irvington the peace of good
citizens was disturbed by these law
breakers, but they seem to touch very
lightly the pulse of our officials.
Another open defiance is the way the
speakeasy crowd continue to get their
U. s. licenses and their liquors ship
ped. Recently tremendous case of
liquor was landed at Irvington for
the Kilmarnock club, although that
place had been declared nui-
sance by our county court sometime
previous.

THE SALOON IN POLITICS.

1t is sad commentary upon the
politics of our cities that the great
est single political power is the sa-
loon. Such, however, is the case, as
every intelligent observer knows.
This fact is not due, as many
pious people imagine, to the fact that
the saloons sell liquor, and occasion
ally give it away to political hang
ers-on. 1t is due to the fact that
the saloon man gets into close con-
tact with large number of voters
and makes himself popular with
them. He is cog in larger polit-
lcal machine, and there is harmon
ious action throughout. The saloon
man doesn't maintain his power
mainly by giving away few glasses
of beer; he does it by being hale
fellow-well-met with Tom, Dick and
Harry.
And the fact should be thoroughly
understood that the political power.
OF the saloon is not to be conn atted
by standing afar off and lifting up
the voice in protest. 1t can be com
oatted only by counter organization
and counter work on the part of
those who believe that the saloon. as
political power, is menace to good
government.
And here is where the trouble al
ways comes. The saloon man knows
definitely what he wants and goes
after it. The men who oppose his
purposes in politics, as often as not,
do not know precisely what they
want and are too Indifferent to take
the necessary steps to obtain it.
While this condition obtains, the
saloon will remain the power in poll
tics that it is now Viruinidu- Pilot

MATTERS are more warlike in the
East than since the Boxer troubles.
Russia refuses to evacuate Manchu-
ria, a part of the Chinese Empire,
and continues a menace to Japanese
ana English interests. England and
Japan have united in demands for the
evacuation and they have been laid
before the Russian government by
China. 1t is hardly likely that Rus
STA will give up her long-cherished
desire of possessing Manchuria with
out force. She will probably wait
to see if England and Japan are not
bluffing. If they are not we may
expect such war as the world has
never seen. France will very likely
aid Russia in the event of a clash.
as she has been doing all along in
dealing with these matters, while the
attitude of Germany and the United
States (the other important Pow
ers) is not yet determined. If Rus
STA is not checked she will become a
menace to, if not practically mistress
OF the whole world within one or two
decades. And tits exceedingly doubt
full If any concert of Powers can be
formed to do the checking. 1t ia
highly probable that before the in
fants now born get out of their geog-
raphy classes the entire political map
of Asia will be changed.

JUDGE PEASLEY'S HOUR.
Father Of Child Appeals to the Court
to Get Back His Offspring.

to Get Back His Offspring.
Two small armies of Italians wit
messed the first battle in a fight for
a child In the city court to-day before
Judge Peasley. Leonardo Nardoci. the
father of the child, boy about two
years old, was charged with breach Of
the peace and non-support of the
child. He pleaded not guilty and was
defended by Attorneys Russell and
Kelley. Judge Lowe assisted the
state. The evidence went to show
that when the child was born the
mother died and fifteen days later q
Mrs Latanzio living on Canal street
took the child to bring up, the accused
agreeing to pay her SO month The
contract was kept up for year or so.
The accused was then in New York.
Several times he tried to get back his
child, but each time Mrs Latanzio re-
fused to surrender it. The last time
he made the attempt he went to the
woman's house with a constable but
the attempt was fruitless. He then
said, it was claimed, that he told the
woman he WAS unable to keep his
agreement with her and wanted the
child back. Stin she refused.
A few nights ago he made the last
attempt. Again he was refused Mrs
Latanzio told him the child was sleep
ing and should not be disturbed. She
denied that she struck him and knock
ed of and broke his hat as he was
STOPPING to kiss the child, or that her
husband was standing near with an
axe ready TO knock the father down if
he attempted violence. At this stage
OF the hearing the court said he did not
wish to hear any more of the case.
Mrs Latanzio said she would not sur
render the child Attorney Russell
asked the court to order the woman to
give the child to the father, but the
court refused to do this because he
did not know what kind of a man the
father is. He suggested that probate
proceedings be instituted to have
guardian appointed over the child
But Attorney Russell held that this
would not give the father possession
OF the child. Appointing a guardian
over it and given possession were two
different things. The court finally re-
fused to take any action Of that kind
and continued the case thirty days in
order to give the parties interested
time to take any proceedings they
wished.
A young woman accompanied Mrs
Latanzio and when Attorney Russell
suggested later to Prosecutor Durant
TO advise the woman to give the child
to her father, she looked at him as
though she would spring at him and
tear his eyes out A large crowd Of
friends Of both parties were in court
watching the battle and when the case
was over the two factions left the
court room by different ways.

the skull had been lying around not

OF their victim had been covered with

The skull was wrapped in some
