LONDON, April 25.-The Russian police,
hoping to wiring a confession from llessy
Hoffman, left her without food for forty
hours. Hoffman, who Is enceinle, is said
to have had seven tailding fits il that time.
According to a dispatch she has obstinately
refused to give any Information against the
nihilists. When food was at last brought to
her she was unable t0speak from exhaustion.
LONDON, April PA special train bearing
Lord Beaconsi2ld's body left P~addlngton
station for Wycombe, at 2:3O O'Clock Sunday
morning., and on the arrival of the train at
Wycombe, the remains were transferred to
Hughcudun Meuor, and placed in the large
drawiug-room. Owing to the secrecy of the
proceedings, only ali VI. thirty persons wit
messed the departure of the hearse from Cur
seon street and nobody witnessed its arrival
at Wycombc.
LONDON, April 25.-The Queen will send
IA wrealhe from Osborne, which Will be
placed on Beaconsficld coffin. The mourn
ers will assemble at the Mansion House at
, O'Clock Tuesday, which will be half an
hour before the funeral procession; the cot
fin being placed upon a wheeled bier. On
quitting the Mansion House it will pass
down the sloping pathway on the side OF the
hill to the southern door of the church, where
it will be met by the vicar, who will then
the burial service. As the re-
mains are borne through the nave to the
chancel, the organ will play RethoeVen's fun
eral march. The coffin will rest IN front Of
the altar, while the vicar reads the first por-
ton of the ritual. 1t will then be taken out
through the southern door, the organ playing
go Rest in the Lord" while the mourners
retire for the vault at each end where the in
torment will be concluded in sight OF the
assembled people.
LONDON. April 25.-The great question
which now agitates the conservative party IS
the choice of a successor to Lord Beacons-
field. 1t is not impossible that his lordshlp
left some record of his opinions on this sub
iect, for he frequently referred, i'll the ea1ly
part of his illness, to some memoranda to
which he attached great Importance. Lord
Rowton, who is sole trustee of his papers, and
Sir Philip Rose, one of his executors and his
rusty friend solicitor, have searched anx
The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1881-05-03

iously for these memoranda both at Hugen-
don and at his house in Curzon street, but
without success. His lordship never mentioned
he subject in conversation, and of course no
one introduced it. 1t would have been like
telling him he was doomed to die, and up to
the last day he labored under the impression
that he had strength and will power enough
TO Keep death 4 days march in the rear for
years to come. DR.. Quinn, when asked if
Lord Beaconsfield took a Responding view of
his case, replied that he never made any dt-
rect allusion to the matter, but it was gath
cred from his remarks that he thought che
had something in hand" as Lord Palmerston
said when he and death were at close quar-
tiers. At times, however, he would smile oddly
when the doctors told them that he was get
ting stronger. 1t is certain that he did not
discuss even with Lord Rowton tie future
leadership of the conservative party.
LONDON, April 26.-ln the House of Com
mons, Bradlaugh advanced to the
Speakers table to be sworn, when Northcote
objected and the Speaker requested Brad
laugh to withdraw. Northcote then moved
that having a regard to tho resolution of the
house and the reports of two select commit
tees, Bradlaugh be not permitted TO take the
oath. Labauchere said the object of Nsrth-
cote's motion was to stir up the smouldering
embers of religious bigotry. John Bright de-
Tended Bradlaugh's right to take the oatn on
he ground of Bradlaugh's statement that the
oath would be binding on his conscience.
LONDON, April 27.-In the house of COM
mons Labouchere moved adjournment of the
house in order to elicit a promise from the
opposition not to obstruct MS oath bill.
Bradlsugh he said would engage not to pre-
sent himself at the speakers table while the
bill was progressing and no member on the
liberal side would avail himself of the right
to raise the matter As a question of privilege.

Z MISTAKE MADE IN GEORGIA.
NEW York sun.l

y I
The following statement of fact,
which we take from the columns OF
our esteemed contemporary, the Phila-
delphia Times, embodies and 1llustra-
ties popular error that is not confined
.tothe citizens of any particular COM
munity:
~ tsGcorgia is gradually arranging
millennium of its own. The new Con-
stitution of that State provides that the
Legislature shall meet but once in two
years, and then sit but forty days"
The idea set forth in this provision
of the new Constitution of Georgia is
frequently encountered in the discus
sions of the press and in ordinary con-
yersation. We some times hear it ex-
pressed, as sort of lamentation, that
the Legislature of a State is about to
meet; or we are reminded that it is a
blessing Congress is soon to adjourn,
so that no more mischief can be done.
Such people seem to believe that, if
there were no Legislature or no Con-
gress, everything would be undisturb-
ed; there would be no agitation to
affect the value of property or the re-
gular course of business and then the
world would be fairer and happier.
Reduced to its simplest form, this
idea is that a despotism, where all is
stagnant, where no conflicts of thought
are developed, and no power is exercised
by any one except the despot, is better
than free government where every
man has right to his opinion, where
all ideas can be published without re-
serve, and where the people with their
muitifarious interests, passions, and
complications debate everything, and
decide, legislate, and rule for them
selves.
| One great purpose of q Legislature is
to give the people of every part of the
State the opportunity of being heard by
their representative. Thus it is not
inerciy the law-making body, it is the
great theatre of public controversy il
| is the safety valve of liberty.
We have tried the experiment here
in the State of New York. We limit
ed our Legislature to session of ;
hundred days but after some thirty
years experience we abandoned the
restriction. Now we leave our Senate
and our Assembly to sit just as long as
they find it necessary and convenient
and we dare say that in due time the
people of the State of Georgia, having
Initiated our example in committing
the blunder, will also initiate us il
/ adopting the remedy.

this in order that he may form union

that he must be the head of some such

further fact that he cannot depend on
any alliance with or assistance from the
Regular Democratic party of Virginia.
In his private conversation Malone

Bishop Elder, formerly of Natchez,
has issued very strict orders to the
clergy OF Cincinnati, which causes some
excitement in the religious circles of
that city. He enjoins plainness in dress
for children at first communion, pro-
hibits round dancing and church enter
tainments and dancing of any kind
after dark, enjoins strict enforcement
of church laws, and on all matters pro
hibits the clergy from receiving money
on deposit; advises full Christian
names for children Instead of abbre-
viations or pet names; cnjoins the use
of plain music and such as is not heard
in places of amusement or intended to
show off the voice of the singer or the
genius of the composer.

A number of our exchanges In this
State are advising young men to aban-
don politics and go to work to make
a living. Every young man should
make living, and should be trained
to make living. TT is not at all Inn
practicable that he should be prosper
GUS in life, whatever business he may
follow, and yet know something
know ali he can-of the politics Of the
country in which he lives. We under
stand that any young man even of or.
binary ambition, should read and
study all he cam. laborer as he may
be, Of all that which has, aught to do
with the governing power Of the coun-,
trysfn which he lives. The adult for.
eigner is expected-aye, is required
by public sentiment and the laws4t to
know, something by. residence, at least,
OF the politics of this country. The
young man who settles down in the
belief that he will know nothing of
the politics of his country will make
poor citizen--one not fit to rear Sons
after him-and his life may well be
marked blank in advance. alsna3.o
What our cotemporaries may urge
objectionable in respect to politics as a
strade, or calling, we most heartily
concur in, whatever it may be.
There is no more detestable creature
in this free country, where men are
born and educated as free men, than
the professional politician and Office
seeker. He is not independent; heis
not reliable; he is generally poor,
sneaking, and every way unmanly.
He has no crop in the ground, and
there is, oftener than not, heavy
mortgage not alone upon his home,
but upon his manhood. The shifting
winds are not more uncertain. Con
stitutions, political parties, and all that
may change, and the solid earth ma v
revolve diurnally; but TO this indi.
vidual-it. is all the same he sits up
late, and rises early in fact, he sell
dom or never sleeps, and never SHORES.
He is right on every issue, day, or
night, and whatever the struggle may
be, whether white or black, let him
fall from any higth, and he is on his
feet at the landing. Such folks were
called, once, tod-huntcrs. L "a
But shall we say that the young man
who reads Washington's Farewell Ad-
dress, or Jackson's Maysville Veto,
shall, be, sneered at? The universities
have textbooks on Political Economy
and there is profound paper known
as the Constitution of the United
States. Every gentleman canno,
study the law, as recommended by
Blackstone, but every young mar
may think and read about the polite.
of his State, and this is not alone hi.
privilege, but his duty. Defeat aftel
defeat in, elections in Louisiana, we
have seen collapse after collapse of en-
thusiasm in politics. It began in 1868
we believe, and has followed with al
most unvarying certainty each sue
ceeding election, and there has been
no election since, when the politicians
