A bullet had struck the hand rail
SCATTERING one Of the supports, and the
broad steps were SCARED and spin
tered. The man lay face upward, his
,eet inside the hallway, one side OF
his head crushed in. He was roughly
dressed in wooden shirt and patched
smallclothes, and wore gold hoops In
ais ears, his complexion dark enough
for mulatto, with hands scared and
twisted. Surely the fellow was no
soldier; he appeared more to me like
one who had followed the sea. l
stepped over his body, and glanced the
length Of the hall. Inc chandelier was
shattered, the glass cleaning under
foot, the stair rail broken into jagged
splinter, and a second man, shot
through the eye, rested half upright
propped against the lower step. He
was a sandy-bearded fellow. no better
dressed than the one without, but with
belt about him, containing pistol
and knife. His yellow teeth protiud-
ing gave his CHASTITY features ficnd-
ish look. Beyond him pair Of legs
stuck out from behind the staircase,
clad in long cavalry boots, and above
these, barely showing, the green cloth
Of the Queens Rangers. Then Grant

A law that will deprive the Grim

badly needed in Cairo The Bulletin

urge the city council to immediate
action
We do not want law that will
merely mean another cog in the polit-
ical machinery; not law that will

shop proprietors. What we need is
law that will not only deprive the
criminal or his weapon, but also will
prevent others, just as bad, perhaps,
from obtaining possession of 1t. Tie
weapons should be destroyed and the
law should be SO constructed that
when the police happened to come
into this, possession of good weapon,
they would not be able to exchange it
for revolver of inferior quality and
I. then turn this. weapon in to be dis
posed Of
It has been suggested that the
chief cf police be required to keep a
complete record of every revolver
taken from prisoners and then de-
post the weapons in the safety de-
post department of one of the local
banks The law would set a date for
the destruction of the weapons One
Of the best methods that could be
pursued in disposing of the weapons
would be to dump them into the Ohio
river at a point where the channel is
Sd deep that 1t would be impossible
to fish" them out.
The present system of returning
dangerous Weapons to prisoners after
they have Served their terms, or have
been acquitted, is bad one, It keeps
the criminal constantly armed when
at liberty.
Reyolvers are not easily obtained,

Wants Rural Credits.

Adoption of system of rural
credits, based on the foreign systems
was recommended in the address to-
dag before the conference of gov
errors by Governor Emmett O'Ncal, Of
Alabama, as a means for remeiyihs a
situation in the United States which
he described as q practical boycott of
agriculture in the money markets of
the country, an occupation adding
.oyer eight billion dollars annually
to the Country's wealth, and in
which twelve millions Of the couu-
try's inhabitants are engaged"
The failure of our financial system
to provide methods by which our
farmers could procure money at reas-
enable rates. Gov O'Neal said, long
had been recognized as one of its
chief defects. He said it had been
responsible for many visionary and
impracticable schemes ~.
