OBITUARY..
CHARLES WEBB.

CHARLES WEBB
Mr.. Charles Webb, who died In this city on
Wednesday last, was born in Portland, Me-, in the
year 1910, and was consequently in the sixty-nitn
year Of his age at the time OF his death. Mr..
Webbis father was large lumber dealer and also
large shipowner In his native State; and, after
receiving as liberal an education as could be pro-
cured there at tnar time, Charles entered into
business with his father, with whom he remained
several years; but finding commercial business
dstasteful lie left home and went to Lawrence,
Mass, where he connected himself with tne
Lawrence sentinel, continuing with that paper
Tor several years. Mr.. Webb then married and
came to this city, and for some time wrote articles
for the different papers, mostly OF a political ma
ture, and SO brought himself INTO such prominence
with the democratic party that in 1912 he was
elected an Assistant Alderman or the Sixteenth
ward. few years later, losing his wife, Mr..
Webb removed to Minnesota, where he embarked
In commercial business ana marrying again,
settled down IN tnat state. But death again
robbed him OF his wife, aud he soon after re-
turned TO New York and entered the political
arena and also contributed TO the press or this
city.
As a writer Mr.. Webb was probably more iorci-
bic tnan brilliant; but his memory or men and the
political events OF his time was wonderful, and ne
was considered one or the best authorities to con-
suit on past events IN tue city. OF late years Mr..
webb had written very little for the press had
almost retired IRON politics; but about Jour years
he accepted the position OF otcer OF the Court
OF Common Pleas. which ne neld at the time OF his
death. Mr. Webb has suffered ,or some lime with
disease OF the kidneys, anu few days ago typhoid
fever setting In his system could not resist the at
tack aad death soon ensued. Deceased was 4 kind
ami genial man, consistent CHRISTIAN and warm
friend, and besides q wife and a daughter, sixteen
years OF age. the issue oil his second marriage, he
leaves q large circle TO mourn his death. The
funeral Will take place to-day Qt his late
residence, No. III Charles street.

} A NATIONAL VlLI.AlNY.

The information comes from Wash
ington that the sewing machine COM
panies, are again petitioning Congress
for an extension Of the Wilson patent
on sewing machines. We assume, to
start with, that their efforts will end in
ignominious failure. No Congress,
whatever its political complexion or
character, can q ford to fly in the face
of the public on question to which
there is but one side. The people Of
this country are sick and Disguised
with the sewing machine monopolies
of every description. We must bear
with those which have AS yet unexpired,
but the protest against any renewal
thereof is SO loud and universal that
Congress cannot hesitate rs to its duty.
Millions upon millions Of dollars have
been exacted from those very people
who were least able to pay 50 enormous
n royalty upon 80 necessary an article ;
and these vast sums have gone into the
pockets of Spectators and not the in
ventors. There is rarely any justice in
the renewal of a patent, for the benefit
does not often accrue to the original
beneEactor; there is absolutely none in
any of the sewing machine patents.-

! THE KING OF SPAIN.

The ease with which the son of
Isabella ascends the Spanish throne is
not wonderful. Worn out with inter-
necine strife, aid satisfied that a repub-
lcan government was not suited to tho
people, the government of Serrano fell
to pieces the very instant bold colonel
procfaimed for AIphonso. That prince
represented, the clerical party and had
the strongest claims to legitimacy. lie
is young and was therefore thought to
be pliable. With Carlos on the throne
there would have been little prospect
fyf constitutional government. With
i:Klphonso on the throne the people Of
Spaii may circumscribe royalty with
tbs parliamentary safeguards Of Eng
land. AlphOnso XII was born in 1857
ana Is but seventeen years of age. Fer
dinand VII had no son, and would
haveobeens succeeded by his brother
Carlos, Count OF Molina, had he not set
aside the ,, succession in favor of his
daughter Isabella, who assembled the
throne as Isabella III. The followers OF
Carlos contested for the crown under
the old Count, under his son Carlos,
under his grandson the third Carlos,
who is now battling fOrlornly for the
Spanish throne. The present Don Carlos
is second cousin of Alphonso XII. 1t
remains to be seen whether he will
e continue the contest, or yield gracefully
and accept'a high position under his
cOusin.--OfOLiLe Register.

Professor Seete of Amherst College,
has been talking to tho farmers about
the hurtful tendencies of an unstable
currency and showed that the price OF
their products is determined by the
price OF That portion which is exported J.;
that this price is determined on Il gold
basis. but that the price of all the far
mer buys is fixed ona currency basis /:
that though the price of gold may be
kept down, the price of other commo-
dities cannot be ; that they rise in pro-
portion to tho expansion of tho curren-
cy; and that as they have advanced
fully fifty per cent, the result is that
the farmer gels an advance in currency
for what he sells of about ten or twelve
per cent, but for what he buys is com
PEELED to. pay an advance OF fifty per
