Th. Bnby Ia Doomed.

Dispatches from ST. Petersburg con-
vey the information that the revolu.
tionary element OF the socialist party
in Russia has deoreed the death OF
four more members of the royal fam.
lily, including the baby boy who, If he
lives, will some day be czar OF all the
Russias. Sergius was a known tryant
and proven theft. He used his high
office to tilch money from the pockets
OF the people. He solicited contribu-
tions to add to the scanty comforts of
the Russian soldiers In Manchuria and
turned the funds to his personal ac-
count. He plotted and schemed
against men and women of his own
blood for the sake of his personal ad-
vancement. But the baby" says
the Atlanta Journal, "he has done
nothing to merit punishment. He Is
interested in no greater problem than
the task OF getting chubby big toe
into his rosy mouth. He has never
harmed anybody. Unfortunately for
him the accident of birth made him
the son of the cZar Of Russia. In the
name OF common sense, his future is
unwelcome enough II he Is let alone.
He will never know the democracy of
childhood. He cannot go about the
streets like most boys. He will never
know the delight OF going to q kid
party, where he could play King
William and kiss the prettiest girl In
the room. Not for him is the demo
cratic pleasure OF wooing and winning
wife. The pleasure of planning and
toiling for home will not be his.
When he is OF a marriageable age a
solemn council OF state will select o
wife for him. And he will live through
all his years In daily dread Of the knife
OF the nihilist, the boom Of the assas.

viable one at the best. Pity. and not

Stealing, Pure and Simple.

By vote Of ninety to eighty the
National House Of Representatives on
Friday voted itself and the senate
$50, 900 mileage for the extra session
OF congress held in November, 1903,
and perpetrated what Is described by
leading members Of congress as "petty
theft" but what is stealing, pure and
simple. Mileage is allowed to mem
| bers OF congres at the rate of twenty
cents mile going to Washington and
returning homo. They are supo ,sed
tn get this mileage for each session
The extra session of congress, held in
| 1908, ended the same moment the reg.
gular session begun. There was no
interim and none Of the members who
voted himself mileage actually took
the Journey. The members did not
even leave their seats
When an effort was made to put an
extra mileage bill through at the first
regular session, the newspapers dis
cu.sed the matter so severely that
| the movement became unpopular, and
when the bill was called up mem
her called for the yeas and nays, and
there was stampede to the cloak

Cntton EatiInatea.

The Idea OF Issuing semi. monthly
cotton estimates, instead OF monthly
est mates, by the agricultural depart,
mcnt, has agail been rejected by the
| Republican majority in the natiOral
house of representatives. The sep ste
committee was favorable to the
change, but the house members, at
the instance chiefly Of Statistician
Hyde, OF the agricultural department.,
worked its death.
M. Hyde's chief objection to the
Issuance OF semi-monthly cotton esti-
mates, 1t appears, is the fact that
they will cost the government some
money, where's the data upon which
the present guesses are based Is OBJ
tanned free from volunteers. That,
II he has not been misquoted, is his
professed reason for not Wishing for a
change. The Atlanta Journal voices
the sentiments OF every right think
ing man when 1t says:
But suppose 1T does cost the gov
ernment money to maintain depend
able system OF collecting information
Every thing useful must be paid for.
We don't exactly follow the argument
OF the statislician to the effect that
the present system costs nothing, for
certainly 1t takes up the time of the
department clerks even to make
gu, sses at the crop. But even If it
costs the government nothing, 1t has
proved itself to be mighty expensive
system to the planters on numerous
occasions, and an exceedingly unrelt-
able system always.
If the department. cannot get the
necessary money to maintain a sys.
tenn that Is worth something, 1t would
be better not to Issue estimates at all.
Certainly in that manner the inter
ests Of the cotton planters would not
be injured, and the department. ofll-
cials would not have to suffer under
the general belief that they iusist on
the retention Of the system of month
ly estimates In the interests of the
market gamblers.

The Old Battle Flags.

Governor Hayward has received a
letter from member OF the Eleventh
South Carolina volunteers, Hagood's
brigade in reference to captured flag
or The company, which will be among
those to be returned to the state by
the war department.. The writer as
survivor asks that the flag be pre-
sented to the remaining survivors OF
the company, whose ranks, he says,
are being rapidly depleted by death.
1t has not been decided what will be
done with the state flags when they
are received, but the suppositlon has
been that they would lie retained by
the state as historical relics. Until
their disposition Is decided Governor
Heyward cannot reply definitely to
several requests Of a similar oharac-
ter he has received.

Destroyed Cloth.

A dispatch from Greenvlle says
Charlie Crane, Tom Rigdon and a
man named Duncan, mill operatives,
were arrested Wednesday morning by
Sheriff Gilreath and placed In the
county jail, charged with having bro
ktn into the cloth room at Monaghan
mills, In the suburbs Of that city, and
destroying nearly $1,000 worth OF
cloth, stealing / pistsl and also seve-
raj pieces OF cloth. The prisoners
affirm their innocence. The cloth
had baen baled for shipment, and In
this condition 1t was an easy matter
to slash 1t with a knife to such an ex-
tent as to render 1t unfit for sale.
Sheriff Gilreath said that he thought
at least 81 900 damage had been done
to the property.

SHOT DEAD in HOME.
A Denver Teamster Killed Man and
Woman and Himself.
ohier of Police and Polioe Surgeon
Dangerously Wounded In Trying
to Capture Infuristed Man.

t
At Denver, COL, mad with rage be-
cause of hts defeat in lawsuit &c
which K. ELL, the man whom he pro-
nounced his bitterest enemy, had been
victorious and swearing vengeance
against him and bis family, George
Schistler. teamster, armed himself
with rifle Sunday and started out to
do murder. AS q result of the ARRAY
three persons are dead, one Is missing
and three others are wounded, two at
least dangerously.
The dead:
K. Fill.
Mrs. K Fill.
George Schlistler.
/ Missing:
a child of the Fills.
Wounded:
DR.. Frank Dulin, police surgeon;
Capt. VIM. Bohanna, chief of police,
wounded in leg; Mike Kelly, slightly.
The wife OF GeorgeSchistler is pros
trated over the affair and may die
from the shock.
Schistler had brooded over his
troubles with the Fill family, who
we're immediate neighbors, and an-
nounced that he would even up
matters. Taking rife of improved
pattern, and buckling on belt Of
smokeless cartridges, he started for
the Fill home. Fill saw Schistler ap-
preaching and making threats. He
tried to avoid him by entering the
house, but Schistler sent bullet into
his brain and Fill fell dead.
| Mrs. Fill rushed to her husband g
side and received bullet from Schist-
ler's rifle, she too fell dead beside the
lifeless body Of her husband. Schist-
ler then set fire to the Fill home,
which was destroyed.
| A SOL of the Fills Is missing and is
believed to have perlshcd in the flames.
Satisfying himself that the flames
would perform their mission, Schist-
ler returned to ilis home and barri-
caded himself. In the meantime the
neighbors appeared on the scene, but
quickly retreated when bullets from
Schistler's rife began falling near
them. q telephone message was sent
to police headquarters and an ambu-
lance with Police Surgeon Dulin,
Capt. Bohanna and three officers hur.
rled to the scene.
Upon the arrival Of the officers and
before they could leave the ambulance
a rain Of bullets fell about them Dl-
lin and Bohanna fell to the floor Of
the ambulance wounded. The condi-
tlon OF the former Is critical. The
driver reined his horses when another
shot from Schistler dropped one Of
the animals to the ground. With the
assistance or spectators the wounded
,uen were removed from the scene.
A strong array of police officers was
then sent to the house and after q
furious exchage of shots the place was
entered and Schistler was found In a.
dying condition. He died soon after.
