KENTUCKIAN'S SAD PLIGHT.
Determined to Enlist, Youth Sacri-
fees Joints without Avail.

From the New York Mail
If there were any special award to be
granted to the unluckiest man in Ken
lucky 1t probably would be turned over
to Amos Jenkins. of Chatlin, without de-
lay. 1t is doubtful whether he has any
competitor worthy of the name.
Mr.. Jenkins decided a few weeks ago
that he would enlist in the army When
he applied for enlistment however, 1t
was found that the third finger on his
left hand was twisted, which was enough
to bar him. He asked whether the re-
moval of the first two joints of that
finger would overcome the objection to
his application, and was told that it
would.
Two weeks later Amos Jenkins reap
peared at the recruiting Office minus the
crooked joints of the objectionable finger
and eager to enlist in his countrys serv-
ice. Imagine his disappointment when
upon further examination it was found
that since his first appearance his weight
had fallen below the legal requirement.
That there is the making of a good
soldier in Amos Jenkins seems to be in
dicated by the fact that he has gone
back to the farm to take on the required

The Nicaraguan Debt.

The complications which are likely to
arise through the financial relations be
tween European governments and the
Central and South American republics
is well Illustrated in the demand which
is 10 be made by the London syndicate
upon the government OF Nicaragua.
This syndicate has a claim against the
revenues of the republics and proposes
TO take steps to enforce its claim if pay
ment is not made by the 2Ist of this
month The amount of the loan is
nearly $5,oooooo.
Fortunately, the Nicaraguan govern
ment has ratified proposed loan from
American bankers for an amount which
will enable the English debt TO be paid
and the government placed upon a
sound financial basis 1t will be re-
membered that during the last session
of Congress treaties with Honduras and
Nicaragua, which had been negotiated
by Secretary Knox, were submitted to
the Senate, and which. when ratified,
will solve the problems which are now
proving so embarrassing to those ooun-
tries. They will have the effect Of
placing all loans upon a safe foundation
and will insure financial relations with
American instead Of foreign fnanciers
Something of this kind must be done
if we are to avoid international COM
plications in the future
Nothing would so easily lead to a
fracture of the Monroe doctrine as the
attempt upon the part of a European
government to seize the custom-houscS
of a South or Central American re-
public, or annex a portion of their ter
ritory in compensation of or as security
for large loan. If we are to exercise
guardianship, so to speak, over those
countries, we must be able and willing
to finance them, and if American bank
ers accept this responsibility, then the
least which this government can do is
TO see that the risk is reduced to mini
mum. This is the purpose of the agree
ments which are before the Senate, and
the situation which has arisen demon
strates that the Senate ought to act
favorably upon them as soon as it re-
assemblies.

Cost of Senatorial Primaries.

Senator Stephenson'S managers have
told the investigation committee that
they could have spent 100000 legiti-
nately in the campaign for their prin-
cipal There are 100000 Republican
voters in Wisconsin, and if a complete
and systematic effort had been made to
reach each one personally of these vo.-
ers with literature or through organ
ization the amount named would hardly
have sufhced.
While we hold no brief for Mr..
Stephenson, nor are we competent
to decide whether he or his managers
INDUCED in corrupt methods, it is
nevertheless true that Statewide pri-
maries for choice of United States SEN
ators is proving a costly luxury wher-
ever it is being tried. In Virginia re-
Gently the campaign cost the four cam
didates over $4,000, which did not
include expenses which are not re-
quired by law to be made public, and
without the breath of a suspicion that
one penny was used anywhere for cor
rupt purposes. When Senator Rayner
sought reelection in Maryland and a
Statewide primary was necessary, the
expenses of the election had to be
borne by him and cost him nearly S7o.-
600, although he was absolutely unop-
posed. Mr. Blair Lee, who recently
made race for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation in the same State, expended
about SIs,ooo and every cent of it was
used in legitimate effort to present
his candidacy to the voters.
1t is, therefore, quite evident that a

THE REAL SToNEWALL JACKSON
Miss Johnston's Presentation of the
Character of Chieftain.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun
No work Of fiction in recent years has
aroused more interest or excited more
controversy among ex-Confederates than
The Long Roll" in which StOnewall
Jackson is the central figure. In an ex-
tended letter to the Sun, Rev. James
Power Smith. who was on Jackson's
staff. protested against Miss Johnston's
picture Of the great general as CariCa-
ture. He contended that she has accen-
tuated his peCuliarities and his austerity.
failing to present in true proportion the
human and lovable qualities Of the man
as he was known to his intimates.
Miss Mary Johnston is not only a dis
tinguished novelist. whose brilliant liter
she is Southern born and bred. Southern
in her sympathies. devoted to her own
people. Feeling that. in justice to her,
the followers Of Jackson should be in
formed of the spirit in which The Long
Roll was written, the Sun sent a spe-
cial representative to Richmond, and in
this issue presents an interesting inter
view with Miss Johnston, in which she
modestly but firmly maintains the es-
sential correctness Of her presentation
of the character of Gen. Jackson. She
AYERS that the Rev. Mr.. Smith is de-
Tending a personal ideal Of Gen. Jack
son. while she was presenting "a COM
posite historical picture of the COnfed-
crate leader" OF their relative accuracy
she is perfectly willing for those who
knew Jackson to judge. and II there are
some who disagree with her estimate.
even they must know that Miss john
ston's work was inspired by lofty senti-
ment, and was indeed a labor Of love"

PuEiIIsm Is Declining.

From the New York World.
Shades Of Tom Cribb and Jem Mace!
Has the prize ring so declined in Eng
land that it has no white hope" to pit
against the world, regardless Of color?
Pugilism has for centuries found it's con-
genial home in England. 1t long en-
Joyed royal patronage, and its Chickens
and "Slashers'' are a part of literature.
Peers did not disdain to put on the
gloves with professional bruisers. and the
name of one lives in popular fame for
the rules that still govern prize-ring
bouts.
Time was when the protests of bishops
and archbIshops would not have availed
TO prevent a fight in which the whole
populace was interested. That they are
effectuaI now IS due to their reflection Of
a popular distrust in the white mans
supremacy with his hsts-a suggestive
commentary on the lost glories Of Brit

Mr.. Fairbanks Is Wrong.

Former Vice President Fairbanks is
mistaken in his statement that there is
little religion in business, or else he
would not plead for more religion in
business and more business in religion.
Mr.. Fairbanks apparently has not been
following leading events very closely
OF late; for J. P. Morgan is the lead
ing layman of the Episcopal Church,
and for more than twenty years, &C
cording to church paper, has been a
deputy from the New York diocese to
the general conventions. J. D. Rookie
feller is the best-known Baptist in the
United States. The Roman Catholic
Church owes its magnificent cathedral
at Richmond to the munihcence of
Thomas F. Ryan, while Jacob H. Schiff
founded the Jewish Theological Semi
nary in New York And last, but not
least, Wall street men are engaged at
this very time in financing a great re-
vival movement.
1t would appear that business is full
of religion of a helpful and practical
sort. Mr.. Fairbanks means well, no
doubt, but he is not posted.

NORTH CAROLINA LEADS.
ReEained First Place Among East
ern States in Gold Production.

From the Durham Sun.
North Carolina regained first place
among the Eastern states in 1910 in the
production of gold. The years mine pro-
duction, according to H. D. McCaskey.
of the United States Geological Survey.
was 3,29l.6S fine ounces, valued at SIS, ,04j.
an increase over the output for 1903 Of
1855 fine ounces and of 81, ,S15 in value.
The yield of silver, recovered in refining
the gold and copper produced. was 9,05S
fine ounces. valued at $4,sss. an increase
The copper production was 14O,514 pounds.
valued at $l7,S45, decrease of 3,99S
pounds and Of s11,3H in value. The total
value OF the production OF gold. silver,
and coppersin North Carolina in 1910 was
s9O77s, an increase over 1909 of 81. .1O3.
There were 3 placer mines in opera
tion in 1910 and 13 deep mines. The deep
mines produced 14,914 short tons of ore,
of which 1883 tons were gold quartz
ores, with an average total recovered
value in gold and silver of $4.42 per ton,
and 2,221 tons were copper ores with an
average precious metal value of S251 per
ton. and yielding 63.2 pounds of copper per
ton. The placers of North Carolina yield
ed 1874 fine ounces of gold and 43 fine
ounces of silver; the siliceous ores pro-
duced 2,7i5.0 fine ounces Of gold and 456
fine ounces Of silver; and the copper ores
yielded 1857 fine ounces of gold and 1854
fine ounces OF silver. The notable pro-
duction of silver from North Carolina
in 1910 was therefore from copper ores.

Order of the Iron Cross.

From the London Chronicle
Nearly a hundred years ago, when the
King of Prussia, Frederick William III,
was trying to strengthen his country and
make a great nation OF the Prussian peo-
pie, he found that he had not money
enough to carry on the wars which were
to accomplish his plans. What should he
do? He asked the women of Prussia, as
many of them as wanted to help the
King, to bring their jewelry OF gold and
silver to be melted into money for the
use OF their country. Many women
brought all the trinkets they had, and
for each ornament Of gold or silver they
received in exchange an ornament OF
bronze or iron as a token of the Kings
gratitude These bronze and iron or
naments all bore the inscription, IT
gave gold for iron, 1s13''

The New Transfer Suit.

The result of the suit for damages
brought against the Washington Rail
way and Electric Company because OF
the refusal by that company TO issue free
transfers from one of its lines to one
of the lines of the Capital Traction Com
pany will be watched for with interest
The issue ought clearly to demonstrate
whether there was a purpose in the
mind of Congress, in passing the trans
fer law of 1894, to make the general
interchange of transfers from one line
to another at points of connection OBJ
ligatory upon the street railway COM
panies of the District The universal
transfer provision in the law. authoriz-
ing the Metropolitan Railroad Com
pany TO change its motive power has
not been enforced because there is no
penalty for its violation. The present
action ought to throw sufficient mean
ing upon the statute to demonstrate its
purpose and force.
Whatever may come of this suit or
of that in equity to be heard this week
the necessity becomes more and more
clear for the establishment in the Dis
trict of a public utilities commission
with the power and intelligence to ad-
just all matters affecting the interests
OF the people and the public service
corporations.

New Political Parties.

Ever since 1896, when the Demo
cratic party was almost hopelessly di-
vided over the question of the free
coinage OF silver, there has been more
or less talk concerning the formation
OF a new political party. The suggeS-
ton was revived through the alliance
OF a faction of the Republican party
with the Democrats in the last ses-
sion of Congress, and many astute poll
ticians now predict that in the near
future there will be a new organiza-
tion composed of members of the old
parties who will unite upon a common
ground.
1t must be remembered, however, that
successful party makers do not spring
into the political arena full-panoplied, as
the old Greek god was said to have
burst forth from the head OF Jove. Sue
cessful new parties are founded on
some vital and virie issue. involving
a great principle in political economy
or connected with radical change in
the form OF government, and at the
present time such an issue does not ap-
pear The principal dividing line be-
tween the two parties now in existence
still remains a question as to how the
money necessary for the government
shall be raised
Once upon a time Ben Wade, Sena-
tor Pomeroy Henry Winter Davis, and
others, all skilled in political warfare
and in the management of parties, be-
came dissatisfied with the policies of
President Lincoln and attempted to

the idol Of the Republicans They pos
sessed political experience and skill ac-
companied by gift OF leadership, but
their new party died almost at its birth
and its founders went into cbscurity
4 few years later Horace Greeley, who
had assisted At the formation Of the
Republican party, aided by Carl Schurz.
Charles Francis Adams, and a number
OF others, attempted to create a new
party. They called themselves Liberal
Republicans just as the new party

IS to-day a heeting memory.

and then went to an early grave Some

entities. but that time seems at present

LAFAYETTE's FIVE YEARS IN
PRISON.

... PRISON.
After Gen. Lafayette's gallant
services in behalf of the -Ameri-
cans during the war of the Revo-
luton he returned to his native
country, and. in the early stages
of the French revolution, became
involved in the factional strife.
During the Reign OF Terror COM
missioners were sent to arrest
him, but he escaped out of the
country. He was captured by an
Austrian patrol. and delivered to
the Prussian authorities. BY them
he was confined in a miserable
dungeon at Magdeburg for a
whole year, and then turned over
to the Austrian government. He
was taken to Olmutz and there
thrown into a dungeon the walls
of which were twelve feet thick.
He was provided with a bed of
rotten straw. and part of the time
was chained to the wall. In spite
of the remonstrances of America,
England, and liberty-loving peo-
pie everywhere. he was kept a
prisoner here four long years. To
every appeal the Austrian gov
ernment replied that his liberty
was incompatible with. the safety
of Europe. Finally Napoleon
threatened to crush the Austrian
government to powder unless
it released Lafayette. This had
the desired effect, and he was re-
leased. When he thanked Ma
poleon. the latter replied: Il don't
know what the devil you have
done to the Austrians. but it cost
them a mighty struggle to let
