ginning January 29d. for the murder of
tho aged millionaire, William Marsh Rice.
The petition is signed by nearly ono
hundred well known persons. including
lawyers. physicians and chemists, clergy
men and 1aymen and is based upon the
ground that there is reasonable doubt of
his guilt.
1t is especially set forth that the cor

opinion that Rice died OF natural causes
and old age, but subsequently. on the
witness stand, declared that he had been
killed by chloroform: that the subsequent
examination Of the body. which formed
the basis OF the testimony adverse to
Patrick was made after the process of
embalming, which would effectually de-
stroy all minute evidences of death,
either from natural ca;1ses or chloro-
form: that the cone containing chloro-
form would probably have fallen from
position had the victim been alive; that
the self-confessed murderer. Jones, who
turned States evidence. was. YIN the
opinion of the petitioners, Irresponsible;
had made at least four different and con-
Trajectory confessions, and was of doubt
ful sanity and unworthy OF belief.
The slgners OF the petition include
Grover Cleveland, John G. Carlisle and a
large number of prominent members of
the New York city bar; Samuel Il. Glenn
ems Mark Twain, Allan McLnne Hamil-
ton, the well known alienist; DR.. Austin

The North and West Could and
Would Combine TO the Injury
OF the South's Trade


VIII you walk into my paior, said the
spider TO the fly?
It is the prettist little parlor. that ever
you did spy.
Before we hasten to avail ourselves of
this polite invitation extended to us. by
Mr.. Roosevelt, / would like to place be-
fore my fellow citizens of the South, in
Il plain, business like manner some very
grave reasons why l think it ought to be
rejected
III in doing so, find 1t necessary to re-
call to them, some of the painful facts
OF history. it should not be ascribed to
desire to revive old antagonisms and
unpleasant sectional feelings. but to warn
them, by the sadLexperlence of the past,
against placing it in the power of the
North, to cripple our growing and pros
porous business.
WHAT is RAT CIRCULATION?
The commerce of the country, consists
chiefly, of buying and selling goods.
which are not consumed at nome, but
have TO be transported to distant mark
els. The cost of the goods when deliver
ed to the purchaser, is made up of two
elements
1st. The home price, at the place where
they are made, or produced.
End The cost of transportation. which
is often equal to even greater than
the home price
What then is rate regulation? 1t is the
regulation of the prices, at which goods
can be sold. at differenttowns,cities, and
ports throughout the country. Not only
that but 1t, is the regulation of the
prices, at which the goods produced in
this country can be sold to the other ma
3tions of tn world can be sold in the
