JOHN G. CARLISLE.

John G. Carlisle, after notable ca
reer as member Of Congress, speaker
Of the House, United States senator
and secretary Of the treasury, passed
the closing years Of his life as a prae-
ticing lawyer in New York without
achieving fame or accommodating for
tune.
After making himself known III the
political field of Kentucky. Carlisle
was sent to Washington as represent
alive and took his seat March 4, 1871.
He served two terms as a private in
the ranks and was then promoted to
the speakership, which he held three
terms.
He resigned from the House to be-
come United States senator for the
unexpired term of James b. Beck. He
resigned from the Senate in 1898 to
become secretary of the treasury in
the cabinet of President Cleveland.
Carlisle welded considerable in
fluence in the Democratic party up
10 In6 time OF MS tCllICiiAclll rum
office. He opposed the election Of
Bryan in 1896 and later became vice
president OF the Anti-Imperialist
league of Boston. but has not taken
an active part in politics in recent
years.
Mr. Carlisle was a good lawyer and
held briefs in quite number of more
or less important cases after his re-
moVal to New York. but he seems TO
have spent his money faster than he
earned it, and only recently his goods
and chattels were attached while he
was lying i'll in the hospital.
One by one the statesmen Of the
era Immediately following the civil
war are dropping off. They were
great men in their day and genera
ton. OF Carlisle it may be said that
he played his part well according to
his lights. and that ne will be ac-
corded an honorable place in history.

MURDER IN TEXAS.

The average race war" is a one
sided affair in the United States, the
killed and wounded being negroes in
almost every instance. Some white
man engages in an alteration with a
negro. The latter holds up his end of
the argument as best he can, and his
opponent occasionally gets the worst
Of it. Then the trouble begins.
The most recent outbreak was at
Slocum, Texas. where from fifteen to
twenty black men were killed in cold
blood by a mob of from 200 to 800
white men. The negroes were unarmed
and the killing was easy.
The report of the sheriff is calcu-
lated TO make the blood of a law
abiding citizen run cold. Uoon his
return from the scene of the murders,
he told ''of a fierce man hunt in the
woods. OF riddled bodies found on
lonely roads, and of the terror almost
Undesirable on the part of the in
habitants."
According 10 the story of the Off
Ger. men were going about killing ne
groes as fast as they could find them
and without just cause or provocation,
the trouble originating over a promis-
sorry note, a black man and a white
man being principals in the dispute.
Surely a dispute over the payment
Of promissory note was slight cause
for the ruthless slaughter of a score
of human beings Why send mission
aries to the remote corners Of the
earth while so much remains to be
done in Texas?

termining whether or not an American
citizen has expatriated himself.
As regards a foreign title. If an
American proposed 10 remain abroad,
the question OF expatriatlon would cut
no figure, and he could shine at court
to his hearts content. II would never
do, however. TO lug the title over the
ocean unless the owner OF it happened
to be impervious to ridicule AMI con-
tempt.
An American citizen, a plain, ordi-
nary American citizen, is recognized
the world over as the equal of the
nobility of any country. At home he
is regarded as superior. A title
wouldn't add any inches to his height
or glory to his name. SO what's the
use.

CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

The department Of agriculture has
warned the miilers of the United
States TO make no more bleached
flour for interstate commerce under
penalty Of criminal prosecution. The
bleached flour cases have been drag
ging along for many months with no
present prospect of their being con-
cluded.
Of course the millers are entitled 70
an appeal to the court of last resort,
but if they continue 10 use the Alsop
process IN spite Of the orders from
Washington. pending a final decision,
81 prison sentence may be the result.
The administration is continuing 70

been Mortified by three awful crimes
IN recent months. First came the
butchery OF little Alma Kellner in the

the tragedy at Lake Como, Italy.

NFANTIE PARALYSIS.

Infantile paralysis, now epidemic IL
Kansas. Iowa. Pennsylvania ard Mas
saehusetts, is a disease about which
the medical profession knows little. It
is said to be contagious. and the Kan
sas board Of health urges a rigid quar-
antine as a means of control.
Surgeon General Wyman and the
marine hospital service are investigat-
ing for the government and the Rock
efeller Institute for Medical Research
has taken the matter up. In due
course Of time the origin of the disease
will be fully known and remedies
found to combat its ravages. In the
meantime these suggestions have been
offered:

2. To watch exercise, preventing any

9. To watch the bowels; avoiding
constipating foods, or sluggish
ness OF the bowels from any
cause. Obtain treatment II need

POWERFUL SYNDICATE CON
Trolls.

Since the forced sale of the Pear
n-Farquhar syndicate's holdings in
Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, Lehigh
Valley and other roads TO the most
powerful railroad combination in the
country, there has been much gossip
over the ultimate result of the passing
Of such control. Following is the
view of the Wall Street Journal:
The result is a solidarity of manage
ment If not OF ownership, in the
railroads serving at least half the
area Of the United States, such
as has never before been ap-
preached, not even by the trunk
line community Of interest" in
its palmiest days. II IL compar-
able, perhaps. with the hard and
fast working relation OF the
anthracite railroads as 10 effec-
tiVeness, but X is OF vastly
greater power and Importance.
It is by no means certain that the
present arrangement is to be re-
sgarded as one step among many
in the direction OF universal and
absolute railroad monopoly. Such
an end may be inevitable and
may even be desirable, but cap
italists who further it must be
obtuse indeed If at the same
time they continue 10 lament and
condemn the growing power OF
government regulation.
Whether the capitalists see the point
or not. Congress saw It last winter
when the railroad law was passed. and
in the event that the great consOlida-
ton actually takes place will probably
see it again.

TGStlfying Against Him

Boston, July 26.-John R. Mar
shall, under indictment in the Cole
man case, alleged to be member OF
the faro gang" arrived in Boston
this morning under arrest, but ac-
companied by Eleanor Holiday, known
in the Keliher trial as Mrs. Nellie
Penn, whom he married yesterday in
Philadelphia, and whose testimony
therefore cannot be used against him.
She was with Marshall when he was
arrested and held in $40, 900 bail. and
it was thought that she was Mrs.
Marshall. In the request for mar
riage license both swore that they had
never before been married.
She was a figure in the Keliher
trial, but under the name Of Mrs.
Nellie Penn. Later she was held as
a witness against Francis J. Wood,
who subsequently was indicted for
perjury.

STOLEN BY FORMER OFFICIAL

Assistant Secretary Had For Ten
Years Been Using Bank Funds to
Speculate In Stock Market-Looted
Institution Issues 81, 900, 900 New
Stock to Make Good the Loss-De-
posltors Are Safe
Louisville, July 25,-That the
peculatioRs of August Ropke, the as
sistant secretary of the Fidelity Trust
company of this city, are the great
est known in the history of banking,
was shown when the experts who are
working on the books of the former
secretary announced to the stockhold-
ers that the shortage will reach ST.
84O 200, the total amount of the sur
plus funds OF the bank.
Ropke had been in the employ of
the concern for eighteen years, and
because of his splendid work on the
books and his preparedness in hand
ling details for the bank, gained the
confidence of the officials years ago.
The populations of Ropke began ten
years ago in a small way, but grad
nally increased until he swept away
the entire surplus of the Oldest and
strongest bank in Louisville.
At the meeting of the stockholders
the issuance of 81 900, 900 additional
stock was ratified and the new stock
will be sold this week. It is believed
that every share will be taken up by
the present stockholders.
Following the arrest of the default
Ing secretary Il was feared that there
would be a run made on the bank, and
that despite its many millions of dol
lars backing II would be forced to
close its doors on account of lack Of
ready cash, but the depositors stood
by the institution in It's hour Of need
and brought in more deposits than be-
fore.
The manner in which Ropke man
hged TO use the banks money was also
discussed at the meeting. It is stated
that he used the clearing house sys-
tenn in his work. He would sign his
name TO a check which was drawn on
the Fidelity and then would give It to
Dne Of his brokers to use in the
of the stock market in
Wall street and Chicago and other
cities.
When the chech was returned TO the
through the clearing house,
he woald secure It ard tear 1t up,
thereby concealing his crime. In this
way he used the funds OF the concern
Tor ten years, and then he was found
out through an oversight in leaving
lne of his small defalcations in sight
If one of the bookkeepers. This was
reported to President Barr, who ques-
Toned Ropke regarding his shortage.
It is said Ropke promptly admitted
his shortage TO the extent of the sur
plus funds Of the bank.
Ropke is now in the county Jail in
default of S25, 900 bail and Will prob
ably remain there until Oct. 5, when
he will be taken before the grand jury
o be indicted. II is believed that he
will confess to the court and will try
o get off with as light a sentence as !
possible.
