ADVOCATES CREDIT CURRENCY.
Comptroller RidgeIy Before House
Committee.

Washington, Dec. 17.-William B.
Ridgely. comptroller of the currency,
advocated before the house committee
on banking and currency the proposed
credit currency plan. There was, he
said, no question regarding the neces-
sity OF some measure of relief He
believed graduated tax should be
placed on the credit notes, which
would create an ample reserve for
their redemption. This, he thought,
was much superior method to the
high tax plan with no reserve. Mr..
Ridgely was strongly in favor of hav-
ing the government guarantee such
credit currency. No risk would be in
volved in this, as, he said, the per
cent guarantee fund would make the
government safe against possible loss.
The comptroller did not regard the
administration of the proposed plan
as necessarily expensive to the gov
eminent. The proposed 2h per cent
tax, he said, would create a fund of
from S2,500.010 to $5,00O,0O0 a year,
which would be abundantly ample to
meet all expenses and create a re-
serve fund. Redemption agencies, he
said, would necessarily have to be
established in many cities of the coun'
try, but the maintenance of these
would be comparatively a light ex
pense. ~

others escaped, although pursued for
several blocks by the officers.

Of Harry Barnum and Harry Baker.

Woman Carried Into Court Lying on
HaZelhurst, Miss, Dec. 17.-Mrs.
Angie Birdsong has been denied new
trial by Judge Miller and sentenced to
five years in the penitentiary. Notice
of appeal was given to the Mississippi
supreme court. Mrs. Birdsong was
granted bail in the sum of $4,000,
which was furnished.
Mrs. Birdsong shot and killed DR..
Thomas Butler at Monticello, Miss,
Nov. rs, 1905, and at the trial con-
cluded several days ego she was con:
victed of manslaughter. Since that
time she has been seriously i'll. Be-
cause of her young child and her ILL
ness Mrs. Birdsong was never sent to
jail.
The young defendant was taken to
court lying upon cot, moaning with
pain and fever, calling continually for
water and at times nearly delirious.
She listened for an hour and quar-.
ter to her counsel's arguments for
leniency and a new trial. Mrs. Bird.

HoPE>FoR POOR CONGRESSMAN,
Said Senate Will Insist on Increase II
Salaries.


Washington, Dec. 17.-There still
is hope for the poor congressman. The
senate is turning the matter over in
it's mind and a strong disposition to
join the increased salary procession
exists at that end of the Capitol. The
senate, less amenable to public senti-
ment, or rather safer from possible
public wrath, is expected to fix things
and relieve the representatives from
responsibility for originating the leg
islation.
Senator Cullom Of Illinois will have
charge OF the executive, legislative
and judici& bill when it reaches the
senate and he makes no bones of be-
ing in favor of larger salaries. Dur
ing his long career in Washington he
has felt the pinch of maintaining his
position on $4,000 year. He repeat
edly has declared he has been unable
to save any money and that frequent
ly he has been forced to deny himself
some of the real necessities of life.
The plan is to insert a provision in
the bill similar to that knocked out in
the house when the measure comes
before the senate and it is expected
it will carry. Then when the COM
mittees of the two houses go into con-
ference over the bill the senate con-
ferees will insist on the retention Of
their. amendment and the house. con-
ferees reluctantly will bow to their
insistence. The record of the house
will be all right and bigger salaries
simply will be forced. upon the law
makers who are elected by popular

The condition of the crop varies

Government Ownership of Rail-

Government Ownership of Rail-
roads.
Times Democrat.
The government ownership of
railroads being a matter of pub.
lie policy wether it is to be op-
posed or favored, it is entitled
to fair and careful consideration.
1t is much too large a question
to be complicated with other
matters, which deserves sepa-
rate consideration, the more so
that they pose questions of the
highest public concern. The dis
cussiOn of the question on either
side should be kept squarely up
to the matter at issue, for even
in it's simplest aspects the ques-
ton is one to temporarily stagger
even the keenest intellect. We
know that the common carriers
of the country have not been OPP
Grated with the concern for the
public welfare that should have
characterized their management.
and we know that serious public
discomfort has arisen in cOnSe-
quence. 1t is to be hoped that
government control will be
found to cure the defects in the
system. If it should not do so.
other measures will have to be-
adopted, and any project which
offers prospects of success is en-
titled to careful, honest and pa
triOtic consideration.

ST. Petersburg. Jan 11.--Premier
wHtte wednesday made an interesting
statement to a delegation, headed by
the mayor OF this city, which request
ed relaxation of orders OF prefect Of
police against meetings in the interest
OF the electoral campaign. The premier
could not promise to do anything un-
ill after Jan. %. While personally he
did not sympathize with the harsh
measures of Interior Minister Durnovo.
he regarded them as essential The pre-
mier said he could not assume the re-
sponsibility for a course which, IL 1t
resulted in bloodshed would make him
a scapegoat. He spoke bitterly OF the
failure of the Moderates to give the
government their support. saying that
on their shoulders largely rests the
burden OF compelling the government
to resort to repression.
While the emperor wanted the ma
tional assembly to meet as early as
possible, Premier Witte said that those
charged with the election feared II
would be impossible for 1t to assemble
before April 2S.
