DRAKE SENTENCED FOR
ILLICIT DISTILLING.
Judge Speer Inquired Closely After
Old Mans War Record,

A sentence of two months imprison-
ment and fine of $1OO was yesterday
imposed upon Newton ]. Drake, con-
victed of making false returns and
illicit distilling.
The old man will serve in Jail until
Saturday after which time the re-
mainder of the sentence will be sus-
pending during his good behavior.
Drake stated to the court that he
would never be found on trial again.
The case was a peculiarly aggraVat-
ed one in that Drake was a govern
ment distiller and deliberately falsifled
his returns. The fact that he broke the
jug which the marshal was intending
to put in evidence also tended to work
against light sentence. 1t developed,
however, that Drake was an old Con-
federate soldier, and that the burst
ing of a shell at Petersburg had de-
prived him of his hearing.
When this was called to the attention
Of the court Judge Speer called the
old man up to the bench and question
ed him closely regarding his regiment
and his war record. He then imposed
the sentence given above stating that
he was disinclined to heavily sentence
an ex-Confederate soldier, and that
he would treat the case as one of
moonshining.
When the sentence had been i'm
posed the court announced to the bar
that the method of suspending SEN
tneee during good behavior had been
found to work out very satisfactorily
and that it's tendency had been to make
the district more law-abiding, as for
as the revenue laws were concerned,
AS Drake started to leave the court
room he stated to Judge Speer that
his son had been i'll in the hospital for
IL days and asked permission to pay
him visit. The court instructed the
marshal to take the old man by the
hospital and allow him to see the pa
tient. Drake at once informed the
court that the hospital authorities
would not let him enter, but was told
that this was a matter over which the
court had no control

BANKERS ARGUED WITH
TAX ASSESSORS.
Claim Made That Banks Are Being
Required to Pay Taxes Twice.

Claim Made That Banks Are Being
Required to Pay Taxes Twice.
Claiming that the city is requiring
them to pay taxes twice on the same
property. the officers of six banks
appeared before the Board of Tax As
SCISSORS at the City Exchange yester-
day afternoon for a hearing.
The Chatham and the Commercial
banks were the only ones not repre-
scented at the hearing. Besides Asses
sors ]. H. H. Osborne, Samuel Rey-
nolds and Marion Lucas, Mayor Myers
and City Attorney Garrard were pres
ent. President Mills B. Lane, of the
Citizens Bank, was the spokesman for
the bankers
The matter of taxing the bank prop
critics was gone into fully and care
fully, but no decision was rendered
by the assessors. The matter was taxi
en- under advisement and an opinion
will be given within the next few
days.
The result Of the deliberations of the
tax assessors means much to the bank
ing institutions as well as to the city,
and the ruling of the assessors is
awaited with interest. This ruling will
be final. so far as the city is concerned.
although the matter can be taken into
the courts by the banks.
The contention of the banks is that
they are required to pay taxes on the
market value of their stock, and in
addition are required to pay on their
real estate holdings. Their contention
is that it is unfair and illegal to inn
pose a tax on both the market value
of the stock and the real estate hold
ings.
1t is commended by the bank officials
that the market value of the stock
is based upon the investments, and
holdings of the institutions, and that
to impose a tax upon both is really
the imposing of a double tax.

WAS DEMOCRACY INSANE ?
If So, Bryan Was Lunatic, Accord In &
to Mr.. Cleveland.

Democracy ''has returned to sanity"
said Grover Cleveland recently, in an in
terview
This statement, made with all the sol
emn ponderosty Of which Mr.. Cleveland
is capable. would imply that the Demo-
cratic party has been insane and its lead
ers Il set of lunatics. In previous inter-
views Mr.. Cleveland contented himself
with merely saying that Democracy had
strayed from the right path after
strange gods'' when it embraced Bryan
ism, but since the defeat of the Bryan
faction ut St. Louis he has been secretly
rejoicing over the apparent downfall Of
his most bitter political enemy, and on
Oct ., at Buzzard's Bay, he virtually
declared that Mr.. Bryan was a madman.
How do the friends of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
States relish having their leader called
u lunatic? Insanity is lunacy, or mad
ness. and if the Democratic party has
returned to sanity" it must first have
been insane. and, by the same reasoning,
il the party was insane because Bryan
was it's leader, Mr.. Bryan himself must
have been the chief Iunatic.
Candidate Parker is generally admitted
to be Il nonentity in his party-a tool of
Hill, Sheehan. and others-and what he
says counts for little, but it is different
when Mr.. Cleveland talks. He is the
| oracle of the Eastern Democracy, and
| ii he says Bryan is insane it is certain
/ he voices the sentiments of ''sane" Dem
| ocracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such
! sIonter on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to vote
for Bryan on the ground that the Ne
| braskan was insane, but he will vote for
| Parker, because he leads the ~sane"
| Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have been
! forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Parker vot-
ed twice for the Nebraska "lunatic" and
| was therefore one Of the host of madmen
| who composed insane" Democracy. Does
| Mr.. Cleveland improve his position by
| now supporting one OF the nadmen who
| voted for the leader Of ''insane" Dem
ocracy!
! Mr. Clevelrntl's thrust at Bryan was
uhcalled for, and will, no doubt, be re-
scnted at the polls. for the friends Of Mr..
Bryan do not think he should be put
| in the strait jacket class.

classes; that the army and navy are too
big; that the nation has been run extrav-
asantly and that the expenditures for the
army, navy, pension list, Panama canal,
rural free delivery service. irrigation
schemes and other grand purposes Of ma
tional development must be reduced; that
the bene6cent despotism' Of the Re
publican party esta blished and maintain
ell by the people must give way to that
Democracy of which he is the leader, and
which proposes to stand the country on
its head as beginning Of the reform.
The judge would have "hard row TO-
hoe If he began to talk in public and
tell the Westerner he must do as the
FASTENER does, and to assure the laborer
i'll shop and field that reformatory legis-
lation must at first be for the relief Of
the wealthy.
He recognizes his weakness in these
matters-knows that he could not speci-
fy as to his accusations. could not con-
vince as to his proposed reforms; could
rot successfully defend the revolutions
which his party proposes to inaugurate
in public affairs
He is wise to recognize thus early in
the campaign that ''silence is gollen."
