lolin Fisher, Notorious Safe-U-lower,
Serving Fifteen-Year-Term, Climbs
Prison Wall to Freedom.
John Fisher, a notorious yoggmnn,
serving fifteen yours for safe-blowng,
escaped from the Stato Penltentary
Saturday night by sawing the
jars to ids cell. Ho climbed over the
wall, via the old Hosiery Mill, lot
Himself down by a rope and vanished.
Penitentiary officials Sunday night
tent out description in every direction
ind have offered a reward of $50 for
Ids recapture.
When the prisoners wore lined up
Tor roll call Sunday afternoon Fisher
was absent. An investigation disclosed
the broken bars to his cell, where
lie had cut his way to freedom. A
search of the grounds and zuildings
was made, and dangling over the wall
behind the old Hosiery Mill was
found a rope showing how he had
gotten to freedom. He had climbed
aver the Hosiery Mill on the top of
the eighteen-foot will which encloses
the Penitentiary grounds and let himself
down on tlio banks of the Conga
ree 1 liver.
Fisher was sent up from Lancaster
County in 11105 for safe-cracking for
15 years. lie is also wanted by the
United States government for post
ofilco robberies, lie is said to have
been a member of tho gang which
cracked post ofilco safes in all parts
of tho South until rounded up by
Post Ofilco Inspector (Iregory. It is
claimed Fisher was a pal of "Portland
Ned". There is a warrant lying
in tho United States commissioner's
ofheo for Fisher as soon as lie serves
his term in the State penitentiary.
Tho penitentiary officials furnished
tho following description of Fisher:
Five feet, 2 7-8 inches high; weight,
1 25 pounds; hlaek hair, brown eyes,
dark complexion, scar on outside of
left thigh, large scar on outside of
right leg, scars on both forearms and
wrists. lie is 5 4 years old and has
tho appearance of a typical yeggman.
There is no clue as to how Fisher
got the rope by which he escaped
over the walls. A rigid investigation
is being made by the penitentiary officials.
A general alarm sent out in
all directions, it is hoped, will he the
means of quickly recapturing the
yegg. Tho police of Charleston, Norfolk
and New York, where the favorite
haunts of the yeggmen were located
in their palmy days, have been
notified of tho escape. Fisher had a
number of aliases and it is thought
that his picture adorns the rogue's
galleries in several cities and should
be the means of assisting in identifying
him.
Steam Kngines Are Doomed.
The proposed electrifying of the
whole of tho Canadian Pacific, railroad
system is causing a good deal
of interest not only in railroad circles
but also on tho part of people generally.
Already some portions of the
lino are being experimented with and
the success following tho trials leads
to the belief that in a very short time
every mile of that great road will be
run without a single locomotive engine.
Of course, tho abundant water
power, extending almost the entiro
length of the system and from which
any amount of electricity may he genorated
for motive power, it 13 a groat
advantage. The electrification of so
largo a systom would immediately
cause other trunk lines 011 this continent
to supersede steam with electricity
to the very great comfort of
travelers and the no less comfort of
peoplo living in the vicinity of station
yards and other places where
locomotives belch forth thoir smoke
and cinders. This is only the beginning
of the end of steam engines. In
the next fifty years a steam engine of
any kind will bo a curiosity. Electricity
is the coming power.
People Eiko to be Fooled.
Necromancers, fortune tellers,
seers, mediums, clairvoyants, and all
others of that ilk will in future give
St. Louis a wido berth now that it
has prohibited all such people from
following their calling in that city.
It ought not to bo necessary for any
such measure to ho passed anywhere,
but so long as people are foolish
enough to think that there are some
other people, mostly of unsavory
moral reputation, supernaturally endowed
and qualified to reveal the future
of folks of whom they know
nothing, just so long will it ho necessary
to protect in somo way these
same foolish people. Strange, isn't
it, now sonio folks do like to bo fooled?
And Isn't it equally strango how
very, very seldom these occultists
that profess to be able to show others
bow to make fortunes have any fortune
of their own? This fact alone
should convince people that the socalled
readers of the future aro nothing
but. fakors. If they can tell others
how to get rich, is it not reason
able to suppose that they would get
rich themselves?

What doubt remained regarding
Hen. iluerta's intentions with respect
to compliance with the American demands
for his own elimination was
removed from the minds of most
Mexicans and foreign residents by his
peremptory dismissal Sunday of Manuel
Qarza Aldape, minister of interior,
who was looked upon as the
head of Iluerta's Cabinet.
Manuel Garza Aldape led that
group of the Cabinet which held the
conviction that it would he best to
accede to that portion at least of
Washington's demands which meant
the total abandonment of power by
the Provisional President, and ho Is
said to have been the only one with
sullicient courage to discuss the trouble
frankly with his chief. Senor
Aldape's resignation was demanded
at a Cabinet meeting at President
Iluerta's house early Sunday morning.
lluerta is said to have reiterated at
this meeting the statement that he
would not resign, that with him it
was a case of life or death and he
was disposed to play out the game.

Jack (Jets Justice at I>ast.
A victory for humanity and for the
safety of crews and passengers of
lake and ocean craft was won when
the LaFollotte "Seaman's Bill" was
passed by the United States senate.
For years the shipping lobby fought
against any real remedy of conditions
that worked most unjustly against
seamen and which jeopardized the
safety of travelers. In that selfish attitude,
selfish because the lobby
thought only of its own financial
gain, tho men who controlled the
shipping were hut following tho example
of pursuing the same course
that other combinations of capital
have almost invariably followed.
Hut the passage of tho Seaman's
bill is one of those signs, happily now
more frequent than formerly, that
the power of wrongly used capital is
being broken and that the common
man is coining to his own. Any one
who knows anything of the sea knows
that seamen have for many years
labored under disabilities that landsmen
have destroyed long since. But
"Poor Jack", because his vocation Is
on an element with which most people
are unfamiliar in tho way of
travel, has had but few friends to
champion his cause. He has suffered
from restrictions that amounted practically
to servitude, his hours were
overlong, his wages small, and his
food far from right.
Now there is to bo a change. Jack
is to have far better treatment, shorter
hours of labor, and an amount of
liberty not unlike that which his fellow
worker on land enjoys. Not only
that, but the passenger, whether he
be first, second, or third class, will
he able to cross lake or ocean with
the comfortable assurance that ho is
to be safeguarded as never before.
The provisions of the bill relative to
the number of able seamen, the number
of such for each lifeboat, the
ability to understand orders given,
and many other things are just as
much for the safety of the passenger
as for tho sailor.
Of course the new bill will mean
larger outlay by tho ship owners to
meet the conditions of tho bill, and
that makes them grumblo because
above all things else the rich magnate
dislikes to pay money for others, although
ho has no hesitancy in paying
immense sums on private yachts and
other things for his own amusement.
Hut the ship owners can well pay and
still make big profits. Tho passage
of the Seaman's Hill will make true
tho boast that American sailors are
treated bettor and their condition are
superior to the sailors of all other
countries in the world.

of the lloat Itefor? the United
Stat<*s Commissioner.
An armed guard from the United
States revenue cutter Onondaga was
Tuesday placed about tho American
four-iuasted bark Mangarcva, near
Lewes, Del., the crew of the latter
having mutinied on tho high seas.
Members of the crew of the bark state
that the action was duo to the fact
that the ohicers were intoxicated and
that a mate beat one of their number.
Tho commander of tho Onondago,
which responded to tho Mangareva's
call for aid, decided to transfer tho
captain and crew of tho bark to the
Onondaga and tako them before a
United States commissioned. Four
sailors from Lewes, Del., were placed
aboard tho bark with instructions to
safeguard it during the inquiry which
the government will conduct.
The Mangareva sailed from Philadelphia
a month ago for San Francisco
with a cargo of coal. Whon several
hundred miles at sea tho crew of
28 men mutinied, tied the captain
and mate in their bertha and took
possession of the ship. Subsequently
the officers were released to navigate
the ship, after a promise had been
exacted that the mutineers would be
returned to the Dolawaro capes.
Wireless message from the commander
of the Onondago recommended
that tho bark with the crow aboard
be towed back to Philadelphia with
the armed guard of United States
sailors in charge, and this probably
will bo done. It has not yet been
learned when the men rebelled.
Tho little marine reporting station
at Lewes was thrown into a state of
excitement Monday when word came
that a ship with mutiny aboard was
corning in. A letter from Capt. II. C.
Townscnd of tho Mangareva came
ashore conveying the information
about the mutiny and asking immediate
assistance. Tho Onondago was
picked up by wireless and came
alongside the Mangareva about daylight
Tuesday morning. It was stated
when tho bark sailed that her
crew of 2 8 men comprised so many
different nationalities that scarcely
two of them spoke tho same language.

SHOULD PASS AT ONCE.
Democrats Should Oct Itusy and
Wind Up Currency Hill.
Tho last Democratic platform *
promised tlie enactment of some good
wholesome, reasonable banking and
I currency legislation if the party was
entrusted with power. Tho Democratic
party, therefore, went into
power pledged to this and other badly
needed reforms. The people want
und expect it. The business conditions
generally need and demand it, '
and the bankers, themselves, admit
that it is a reform that is badly needed,
and one that we ought to have as
soon as wo can get it. Then why
should not tho currency bill now before
Congress bo passed at once?
Senator Myers says it is a wellnigh
universally and uniformly ad- '
mitted fact that tho United States has
a very poor and bungling banking
and currency system?one of the
poorest in the civilized world. It is
generally conceded, even by bankers
themselves, that it is not anything
like as good as the Canadian, British
and Continental European systems. '
That we have thrived and grown and
prospered and developed as we have
in spito of this handicap is marvellous
and proves the vitality and productivity
of our country.
The ever recurring panics that we
imvu iicid in uiis coumry under our
present lame and inefficient banking <
and currency system are proof sufficient
of the need of banking and
currency legislation. The panics of
1 873, 1 893 and 1 907, together with
minor depressions and intermediate
and intermittent counter periods of
inflation and flush times, show that
tliero should be greater regulation of
banking and currency, a stronger
hand and inoro authority at the
throttle of the financial machinery.
They show that th Geovernment
should take a greater and stronger
hand in the regulation of banking
and currency, twin creatures of the
Government, which should be subject
to and controlled by their creator
and not turned loose, and free from
strict regulation, to create artificial
periods of hot-houso prosperity on
the one hand or hard times and
panics on the other hand, at their
will. Panics are most terribly disastrous
things for a country. The
business disturbances that accompany
these monetary disturbances
are frightful in their results.
To overcome the danger of these
disturbances and give the country a
steady flow of business at all times,
an even prosperity, reliable banking
institutions, and an elastic currency,
which may bo extended or contracted
at the will of the Government and
the needs of commerce, as circum
stances develop, should he the desire
of every pood citizen. The now currency
legislation, which is overwhelmingly
admitted to ho needed,
should accompany and go hand-inhand
with the new tariff law.
It is particularly needed at this
time, and as soon as it may be enacted,
in order to aid the Government
to guard against and forestall preconcerted
efforts of protected interests
to bring on business depression
and money stringency and thus discredit
the new tariff law enacted in
the interest of the masses of the people.
The people of this country have
plainly dmanded both tariff and monetary
legislation. They expect and
aro entitled to it. The two things
should go hand in hand. The one
has been given them and has been
received with evident signs of great
satisfaction. The other should be
given without unnecessary delay.

Senator Tillman's Questions Governor
({lease's Democracy.
Senator Tillman's letter, which
is printed in The St. Matthews Record
to-day, calls attention to a
matter which wo have mentioned
several times in the last few months.
The Senator flatly raises a question
as to the party loyalty of Governor
Rlease, who is an avowed candidate
for United States Senator. Senator
Tillman is the National Executive
Committeeman from South Carolina
and that makes him the spokesman
of the South Carolina Democracy in
National politics, and what he says
should be heeded by all true Democrats.
Senator Tillman makes the pointed
assertion that Governor Rlenso "has
shown no loyalty to the Democratic
party" and declares that as the
Democrats have a majority of only
seven in the Senate now", that he
would earnestly urge upon the people,
could he make but one speech to
them, "their duty to support the
Democratic President by sending him
a loyal friend to the Senate" and
mm, - 11 would he criminal to do otherwise
than to increase the Democratic
majority." This is plain talk
and it must he indorsed by every true
Democrat.
Senator Tillman, who speaks as
the National Democratic Committeeman
as well as Senator, puts
it straight to the Democratic voters
of South Carolina that the eloctiou
of the candidate in question would
endanger the Democratic majority in
the Senate. Senator Tillman gives
to the race for the Senate an entirely
new color. No longer is the question
to him one solely of personal fitnesR,
of ability and character, among
rival Democratic candidates, to serve
the State in the Senate, hut whether
or not a real Democrat who will support
the Democratic Administration
will he chosen.
The raising of this question by
Senator Tillman is timely and the
peoplo should heed what ho says
about it. President Wilson and the
Democratic Administration has already
done much good for the masses
of the people. The farmers of the
country have been specially benefitted
by the use President Wilson has
made of the public money to move
the crops. This kept thom out nf
the clutches of Wall Stroet. President
Wilson has more legislation in
view to benefit the masses and South
Carolina should send no man to the
Senate who would obstruct this good
work.
