complimented Hon. O. W. Hamlln,
and spoke of the unusual pains he
took to get the war departments
approval of the Lexington Suburban
bridge bin in .order to have it re.
ported by the committee before the
adjournment OF congress. He said
shat this was but a slight example OF
Mr.. Hamlln's diligence IN the service

A grand jury incident at Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, this week illustrates
what the French people call the
hypocrisy Of the AnglO-Saxon. The
grand jury indicted the mayor, chief
Of police and police commissioners
for not enforcing the Sunday law.
The mayor and the police commits
sioners at once issued orders for the
enforcement Of the law to the letter.
They stopped the newspaper offices
at twelve o'clock Saturday night,
closed the livery stables, barber shops,
boot black shops, saloons and meat
markets. Milk wagons and ice wagons
were not permitted to bulge. The
effect was the usual one. The people
found that they did not want the
law enforced in this way. What they
wanted was the enforcement Of the
law against such business as they had
a prejudice against or were not in
terested In. The end is not yet, but.
it is safe to predict that the end will
be the usual one. The people will
insist upon keeping the law upon the
statute books, not to be enforced but
to show what they think is right in
the premises, or what they think
they ought TO think is right, or what
they want other people to think they
think is right. Your Anglo.Saxon
is long on theories Of justice and per-
sonal rights and he likes to have his
laws such as can be justified in the
court Of reason. But then he has a
certain worldly practically about
him which induces him to insist that
his officers make oath to enforce the
law as it is, and then juggle with his
conscience to avoid embarrassing the
public in its desire to do whatever it
wishes to do, unless it wishes to do
something too outrageous. 1t would
be well If all OF us everywhere would
seek to catch ourselves in calm and
serious humor about twice a year and
define to ourselves our real position
upon the subject of Sunday laws.

DEMOCRATIc CLUBS.

The work OF organizing the
democrats Of this county into
democratic clubs ought to be pushed
more rapidly. The blanks have been
issued by the county committee and
sent to all parts of the county. In
some places the work Of enrolling the
democratic voters is going on, but IL
is emineoUly desirable to have this
organization perfected, so that the
speakers brought here by the county
committee or sent here by the state
committee may be more generously
welcomed. Organization promotes
enthusiasm and cooperation. 1t is
eminently desirable to bring out the
whole democratic vote in November
and this can be done only through
organization. Lafayette county must
maintain its place among the big
democratic counties Of the state.
The lack Of interest in this
campaign is general. 1t is to be
found in both parties aud in every
state 10 the union. Times are pros
porous and there is no burning issue.
But the national ticket, the state
and the county ticket are
worthy Of the votes Of Lafayette
county democrats, and the party
to poll its full strength in
November. As a means to this end,
let the work Of organizing democratic
clubs be pushed vigorously,

Weather and Crop
Conditions

Clear weather prevailed every
day during the past week. With
the exception of Wednesday
and Thursday, when 80 degrees
was reached in some western
counties. the maximum tempera-
lures ranged from 70 to 80 de-
grees. The night temperatures
were quite cool, the minimum
ranging from 45 to 60 degrees.
The only rainfall during the week
occurred on Friday evening, and
varied considerably, from one
fourth of an inch over the eastern
portion to about an inch over
some western counties. The mean
temperature averaged about 4 de-
grees per day below the normal,
and the sunshine was above the
normal.
The good showers benefited all
growing crops to some extent, but
more rain is needed. Corn has
generally made considerable i'm
provement, and the propects are
for fair crop; over western-cen-
trail counties however. on hill land
and on poor land. 1t will make a.
light yield. The prospects for late
corn are not very good. Pastures
and meadows are short, but are
starting a little, and stock con-
tinues in good order. Thrashing
is still in progress, and oats are
yielding well. Fall blowing is be-
ing retarded greatly on account
of the ground being too hard to
work. Sweet potatoes will make
fair crop. NIillet is being har-
vested in good condition, and COW
peas and buckwheat are doing
fairly well. Peaches are a fair
crop, but apples will be rather
light. Grapes are abundant. but
rotting to some extent in some
counties.
Tyler county: Drought broken
by heavy rain; wheat thrashing in
progress, light yield: pastures
short; vegetation badly damaged
by excessive drought.

Coal oil and gas should be tax
ed at once, on production and
then so lightly as not to interfere
with their profitable production,
but they should be taxed as coal,
oil and Gas and not some other form
such as a part Of the capital stock,
or money, or part of a bulk OF
individual or corporate personal
property. The West Virginia Tax
commission is correct in it's recon-
mendation as to the tax on the
production Of coal, oil and gas,
and any other group of men,
equally intelligent who will study
the subject as they did will come
to the same conclusion. These
measures have been sidetracked
in West Virginia. Some one else
will, for the next two years, pay
the taxes which should have been
derived from coal, oil and gas, If
these measures had been adopted.
The principle, however, is correct.
1t remains, and as soon as may
be it will come forward. 1t is
founded on economic justice and
will ultimately succeed. The re-
port of the commission and the eff
forts to pass the measures reflects
great credit on Governor White
and those learned and high-mind-
ed gentlemen who supported him.
What is needed in West Virginia
is education on these subjects.
The same public men who post
poned these measures will, if they
will study them, unless entirely
led by self-interest, come around
to their support and will advocate
for themselves. Politics put these
measures aside. The Republicans
would not urge them in the face
of a Presidential election.

MONETARY CONDITIONS.

Pittsburg the other day when one
of the largest banks in New York,
which is the correspondent OF
many banks throughout the coun-
try as a bank in the central re-
serve city, opened an account with
a Pittsburg bank and made a
heavy deposit for the purpose of
obtaining the go that was paid
for its use, says Money. The ac-
count was, of course, an open one
and subject to check, so that in
other word it might be considered
a demand loan at go, much better
than the New York bank could do
by putting out the same sum on
call in New York. where money
has hung around three-fourths of
20 and 70 for so many weeks.
The opening of this account il
illustrates the glut that the eastern
money market is suffering from
at this time. Even the increased
activity in the stock market,
which is largely professional and
manipulative, and which calls for
the use of enormous sums of mon
ey borrowed from banks, has
made no impression on the enor-
nous deposits and money is still!
a drug on the market, a sure Syn
of depression in business and loss
of confidence, as were this not true
the great funds now idle would
be actively at work in business
projects and active speculation.
Metropolitan banks as a rule pay
go on out-of-town bank accounts
and as it is these funds that are
being loaned on demand at 10
and less, the banks holding them
are losing, but are keeping the
money as matter of business poi
icy with an eye to the future,
when the money market viii! be
more active. AS an instance of
the condition in New York a
Pittsburg banker, who was in the
east last week, was told at the Ma
tional City bank that that institu-
ton had in it's vaults $20,OOO,OOO
of idle funds in excess Of it's legal
requirement. That such things
are not only true in New York but
nearer home it can be stated that
last week an official in one OF the
leading manufacturing cities of
Western Pennsylvania stated to
representative of this paper that
within the last few months their
amount of idle money was as nigh
as 1870, and that now they were
unable to loan up, but had placed
some money in bonds and had ia
ken loans on other towns and cit
les. some as far away as hundred
miles. In Pittsburg such a condl-
ton does not exist and some Of
the banks report that they are
loaned up to the limit. Others
state that the demand for funds is
lax and that they have money that
could be placed out with much
satisfaction. The rate here is go
for time and call loans, with go
and $40 in exceptional instances.
The surplus reserves of the New
York associated banks now stand
at $57,53O,0O0, which is greater
than at any period since 1894,
when the total reached $67 ,OOO,-
600. 1t had been fully expected
that the growth of the cash sur
plus at this center would have
been checked by the export OF
gold in considerable quantities in
London by the end of the week
and the figure at which sterling

High cost or Living.

: Not in twenty years, according to-
the reckoning Of Dun's Review, has
it cost so much to live as now it says
that the average prices of breadstufs,
meats, dairy and garden products,
clothing, metals and other m:scella-
neous necessities of life have increas-
ed 80 per cent in less than seven years
and are now higher than they have
been in two decades. Bradstreet's
says that the present range Of prices
is at the highest level in four years, "
and breadstuffs are at the highest
price reached in thirteen years, moth:
ing like the March ] level being shown
since 1891, the year of the Russian
crop failure
The commercial papers seem to be
at a loss to account for the high
prices. BradStreet's attributes them
to ''the largely sentiment influences
OF the breaking out Of the war between
Russia aud Japan" The opinion that
they are sentimental is corroborated
by Dun's which points out that Russia
is actually exporting much more
wheat than the United States" The
United States Investor Boston, is puz.
zled to see commodities rising while
wages and stocks are going down.
The increased supply of gold, it re-
marks, might account for the increased
prices, but if the prices of commodi-
ties rise, the prices of stocks, which
are measured also in value by gold,
certainly ought not to decline, !" as
they have been doing.

Shot Her Rival.

While walking along Airbrake ave-
nue. in Wilmerding, Pa, Saturday
evening, Mrs. Laura Rebach, aged 81
years, of Pitcairn, was shot and kill
ed by Mrs. sHugh Beninger, with
whose husband Mrs. Rebach was stroll
ling. Beninger, who first drew the
FIRE of his wife, was shot in the leg.
Mrs. Beninger and her husband were
both locked up in the Wilmerding
Jail. Benipger's injury is merely a
flesh wound. The Beningers and the
Rebachs are neighbors in Wilmerding
and it is said that Mrs. Beninger was
insanely jealous Of her husband. He
left home early in the evening for
Wilmerding and he protests that the
meeting with Mrs. Rebach was purely
casual. Mrs. Beninger, however, is
said to have followed her husband,
when she learned whittier be had
gone, and when she met him in COM
pany with Mrs. Rebach, without a
word she drew revolver and fred at
her husband, aiming low. The bullet
lodged in BeniLger's leg. While he
was protestingIto his wife not to shoot
again, Mrs. Rebach started to flee
down the street. Mrs. Benlnger turn
ed on her and fired. The woman fell
to the ground without a moan and
was dead within Is minutes. The
bullet entered the back OF her head
near the ear. The tragedy was wit
messed by many Saturday night shop
pers. When Mrs. Beninger realized
what she had done she collapsed.
