If there is man to be pitied on the
face of the earth, it is Alexander ILL.,,
Gar of all the Russias. He has hanged
the Nihilists who murdered his father.
and has thus officially avenged his death;
but he has not hanged Nlhilism. 1t
rises up, grim and terrible as ever, and,
pointing its Fl niger, notifies him that he
too must die. He is a close and scared
prisoner in his own chateau. His pal
aces in ST. Petersburg are surrounded
by cordons of soldiery, but, as the I'M
seen agents of Nihilism, like the pesti-
ience that walketh at MONDAY, have
more than once found their way through
-cordons of soldiery, he keeps himself in
the interior of his small castle, never
venturing out of it, and surrounded by
his guards. But even through the ranks
of his guards and into the very interior
of his chateau, strongly defended as it
is. the Nihilists have sent him the fear
full message that they have decreed his
death. He is monarch of all the Rus
.sias, and the most helpless and unhap-
by man in the empire. He is as COM
pletely prisoner as if he had been
plunged into one of the most dismal OF
dungeons.

EX-SENATOR HANNIBAL HAMLIN, of
Maine, is the one most distinguished
connecting link between the great states
men of the past and of the present. He
served in the House with John Quincy
Adams, Preston King, Stephen A. Doug
las, David Wilmot, Henry A. Wise,
Barnwell Rhett and Howell Cobb. He
served in the Senate with Henry Clay,
Daniel Webster, John O. Calhoun,
Thomas H. Benton, Simon Cameron,
James Buchanan and John j. Critten-
den. Later in the same body, and at
one time or another, he sat side by side
with Seward, Fessenden, Sumner, Chase,
Douglas and Morton, and still later he
acted with the third generation Of states
men, having had intimate service and re-
lations with Edmunds, Conkling, Blaine,
Thurman and Bayard. On the Sd Of
March, as Mr.. Hamlin sat for the last
time in the Senate, he wrote letter to
his son, Gen. Charles Hamlin, in which
he said:
am sitting for the last day in the Senate,
and, my son, am a happy man You and
others may not comprehend it, but l feel it,
and, in the language Of the sacred poet, may
say:
This Is the day long have sought.
At that moment Allen q. Thurman, the
great Democratic Senator, and Mr..
Hamlin's warm friend, whose term of
service expired at the same moment, sat
down beside him, and, seeing the work
in which he was engaged, said Old
friend, feel just rs you do" and then,
on q vacant page of the paper which was
before Mr. Hamlin, the Ohio Senator
wrote as follows to his friends son
My DAER Mr.. HAMIIN /: 1 have not the pleas
ure Of your acquaintance, but / have known
your father for over thirty-fve years. Like
him, can say, This Is the last day Of my polit-
icai life, and am rejoiced to so out of it in
such good company and with my personal
friend of generation. My sincere wish is
that you may do honor to o father so illustri-
GUS. Truly yeurs, etc., A. @. THURMAN.

Ramsdell's Washington Republic Of
April 4th pays the following compliment
TO our latest Nevada Senator:
It matters very little at the present

the standing committees are made up.
or whether their members are selected
with special reference to their adapta-
bility to the different subjects to be con-
sid.rsd; but at the next regular session
OF the Senate many changes should be
made and the peculiar talents OF new
Senators should be consulted. The case
OF Senator Fair. Of Nevada, will furnish
an example. He IL. beyond question,
the richest man In either House OF Con.
sress. and probably the richest who was
ever made . national legislator. He be.
gan lie . poor man. and BY hard work
and business sagacity he has carved ont
q colossal fortune and made o name for
himself that 10 worldwide. II there 10
any subject on which he 10 informed IL
Is The question Of finance. and yet he Ia
placed ON the Committee OF Claims and
the Committee OF Education and Labor.
He 10 also . msmbersef the Committee
OF Mines and Mining. but that commit.
tee 10 OF little consequence. Mr.. Fair
should have been placed on the Finance
Committee. where his everyday business
ideas could be Of practical benefit TO the
country. Mr.. Fair has made q study Of
financial and industrial questions. and
no man In the country has lad . wider
experience In money matters. This ex-
psrienos should be made Of use In the
Senate.
