Creager Yesterday appeared Bonita
Cara, on a charge of smuggling

Justify placing her under a bond

was committed to jail.
A letter from DR.. VIM Bray OF

receipt of the Cameron county
woods which Mr.. Turner recently
shipped to him. In addition to COM
plimenting Mr.. Turner on his en-
terprise in attending to this work
and expressing a wish to see him
at the exposition, DR.. Bray also
highly compliments the collection
of specimens, which he says are the
handsomest of all the Texas woods
embraced in the exhibit.
A few weeks ago THE HERALD
called attention to the danger OF
leaving without any light or guard
at night any open excavations be-
ing made for building or other
purposes along the streets. Last
night a woman walking along
Elizabeth street fell into an ex-
cavation being made for a building
on that street. Fortunately she
escaped without serious injury,
but the fact remains that someone
else may suffer a similar accident
with more serious consequences,
and a damage suit against the city
or whoever is responsible be in
stituted. It is surely the duty of
the authorities to require some pro-
lection for pedestrians in such
instances.

piled for a law allowing them 10 ex-
port silver to foreign countries. This
put all control over the volume OF
money into their hands and took II
out of the hands of the government
AS soon as this was done the rich
men.--the foreign merchants and
bankers-could rob the common pco-
pic OF England as much az they
pleased. This was the crime which
Charles III. authorized in 1866, and
which has been continued In England
froln that day to this. We copied the
crime in 1791-2, when we enacted our
first coinage law. Our statesmen were
almost as ignorant Of the philosophy
Of price-level and of money as a meas
ure of value (for nation) as Charles
II. was when he allowed the mint Of
England TO be opened to free coinage
Of silver and gold.
The evidence of corruption, short
sightedness and ignorance on the part
OF Charles ID to be found In the stat
ute, which was passed at the same
time, imposing duty on importation
Of spirits, wine, beer, cider, vinegar.
The receipts from these duties made
I'D for what Charles and Barbara lost
on account OF their seigniorage. This
statute shows that he looked no fur
ther than getting money for support
OF himself and government. II was
running a government for revenue
only. This is the crime OF our time,
as we'll as Of the. time of Charles.

by Del Mar I will, perhaps, refer TO

THE CRIME OF 1866.

Editor Independent: Barbara Vii
Tiers, or A History OF Monetary
Crimes" is the most interesting and
instructive of Mr.. Del Mars books.
But, why should the name OF Bar
bara Villiers be so prominently con-
nected with Monetary Crimes!' she
was no worse than the people OF her
time and country. She was the mis-
tress of Charles II. of England, and
to her he granted Tin 1861 two pence
on every pound of silver coined dor
twenty-one years.. This was In ad-
dition to the two shillings pound
which he received as king.
At that time they made, at the
kings mint, sixty-two shillings out of
every twelve ounces Of silver; and,
therefore, those who brought silver
to the mint to be coined, received III
return sixty-two shillings Qess two
shIlings and two pence) for every
pound. The two shillings was seign-
forage for Charles; the two pence was
seigniorage for Barbara.
Ever since the time of Queen Eliza
beth 1660) the seignlorage for the
crown had been two shillings on ev-
cry pound of silver coined. The only
change Charles made Tin the year
1869 was to add two pence for his
mistress. This made Barbara more
honorable and Of more consequence
than queen.
But 1t did not last long. After
three years Tin 1866 he revoked the
grant (of twenty-one years. by open
ing the mint to free coinage OF silver
and gold, which took away all seign-
:,tage, both for himself and Barbara.
When it Is said that Barbara Viii
Tiers was no worse than the people
of her time and country, it is meant
that she represented ABOUT as much
morality as the ordinary lord or lady
OF the court and parliament. 1t is a
matter of history, that she had great
influence in the house OF lords, which
shows that she was no better or
worse than they. Her husband, the
rich Roger Palmer, was made by
Charles Earl of Castlemalne and con-
sequently the earl and his vile De-
.onged to the court circle. She was
me widow of Sir Edward Villiers,
when she married Roger Palmer, and
had been married to Sir Edward cat
the age of sixteen), wno died within
year after their marriage. At her
second marriage, therefore, which
took place immediately after The pre-
scribed interval of mourning, she was
an experienced woman, although un-
der twenty.

IRON KING NEWS


 Blanchard, Ariz., Feb. 2l.-On Sat urday night, February l3, the Iron King Dramatic Club repeated their drama "Out in the Streets" and we'll sustained the high reputation ac- quired by their first appearance. The attendance, while not SO large as be- fore, was good. The entertainment was thoroughly enjoyed, and many eX- pressed the wish that another drama may be forthcoming in the near flu ture.
 Miss Villa Pulsifer led a most sue cessful c. E. meeting on Sunday even ing last on that old yet ever new and interesting subject Friendship. ' The c. E. meetings continue to draw a large attendance every Sunday even ing.
 The Iron King base ball team has reorganiZed for the season of 1904 II. J.Wilder was elected business man ager. Several of the players who help ed to win the many laurels which crowned the efforts of the team last season have left camp. However some of the old material is still with Us, and some promising new material, so that with the hard practice that the team is about to commence, the man agemeut hopes that the season of 1904 may be as successful as that of 1903.
 Perhaps the most interesting ad- dress ever delivered in our camp was made in the Blanchard school house on Tuesday evening last. The subject was Socialism" and the speaker, Rev. Ben. F. Wilson, the young silver tongued orator from California, who, in an address bristling with facts, burning with earneStuess, scintillat- ing with wit, and clear and incisive in its logical sequence and intellectual acumen, never once for two hours al lowed the attention of his audience to flag. Both republican and demo- cratic parties were strongly de nounced. Whatever differences there may be between the two, both agree in upholding the interest of the cap italist at the expense of the toiler who was earnestly adjured by the speaKer to join the socialist party-the Tarty whose sole aim is to govern the coun try in the interest of the workers, in of course brain workers as
