Mr.. Gladstonc's presentation in the
House Of Commons Of franchise bill
charging the voting population of Great
Britain, l,v 1000, 900 is the most liberal
reform measure ever known in England
A step of such radical and sweeping
character, placing ireland and Scot
land on an equal basis of representa-
ton with England, shows a courage and
conviction on the part of the veteran
Prime Minister that should command
admiration and respect. 1t must inev-
itably provoke the conservative pred
jud1ces which have heretofore hampered
his course, and it may even imperil the
power of his administration. But his
belief that it will thoroughly meet the
needs Of the situation and do justice to
all classes. has produced the most radi-
cal measure ever known in England.
Whether he succeeds or fails with his
new measure, his position should COM
mand the respect of all friends of pop
uIar government in the United States,
where we profess to believe in gov
eminent ''of the people" But a great
many in this country do not believe in
any such thing, whatever they may pro-
fess. Distrust of the people crops out
in every direction. There is scarcely a
day that some snobbish scribbler for
magazine or newspaper, does not pour
contempt upon the sacred right of trial
by jury, orin some other way voice the
real sentiments of the plutoeratic herd
of people who take no pains to conceal
their scorn and fear of what they inso-
lently torn "the lower clrsses."

The Belle of New York.
rom the baltimore Herald.

From the Baltimore Herald
There have been many charming girls
in New York society in recent years
and number who have been considered
beauties in their particular sets, but
until recently no one has been the ac-
knowledged queen of unmarried women
through the length and breadth of New
York society. Miss Marion Langdon
is now known as the most beautiful girl
in New York She is tall, her form is
exquisitely moulded, and her eyes are
superb. She is quite dark and OK
tremely graceful. Whenever Miss
Langdon consents to dance with the
leader of a german the struggle for
invitations is breathless and prolonged
Miss Langdon has been engaged several
times. but in every instance the engage
ment has been broken off quietly and
nothing more heard of it. Last summer
her engagement to Perry Belmont was
officially announced and the marriage
was to have taken place this spring at
Newport, but for some reason which
has never come out the affair was brok-
en- off Everybody says that Mr..
Belmont didn't do it, and that the rup-
ture was entirely due to Miss Langdons
caprice. She certainly dismissed most
desirable suitor, for Mr. Belmont is one
of the most eligible bachelors in
America 1t is said that young Eng
lishman, who will have title when
his father dies, and who spent last sum-
mer in Newport, did much toward en-
couraging Miss Langdon to change her
mind about her marrying with Mr..
Belmont.

Last Saturday about o'clock in the after
noon Paymaster c. s Bartlett of the Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad, left his office
for lunch without taking the precaution to lock
the combination of the big safe, in W hich the
moneys for the payment Of the employees were
deposited On leaving the room he did so
without waiting the return Of other attaches OF
the Office, who had gone TO lunch Before hls
return the safe was robbed of all its contents
except some packages of nickels and some
small change, the total amount dis
appearing, as nearly as can be esti-
mated, being s27 COO On the facts
becoming known an investigation was had, and
Paymaster Bartlett was discharged from the
service of the company for negligence, and the
affair was placed in the hands of the detectives.
An effort was made to keep the matter secret in
the hopes that the detectives would thereby be
facilitated in their work, but the affair becom-
ing known and in the belief that exaggerated
statements would be published concerning the
robbery, the officials showed a willingness that
the exact facts be furnished the public. The
theory advanced by the treasurer OF the COM
pany ia that the robbery was accomplished by
q sneak thief.

The trial of Christian August Selmer
minister of state, upon charges which
are equivalent to articles of impeach

correspondent Of the New York Herald
Gives an account of the remarkable
struggle which led to this result and
some speculations as to future cOmpli-
cations and events. SIn 1872 the liberal
party brought in 4 bill providing that
the ministers should take part in the
proceedings of the storthing (the nation
al congress- This bill was passed by
a vote of SO against %. The king saw
in the measure the establishment of
constitutional parliamentary govern
mont. with n responsible ministry, and
refused his assent to the act. 1t was
passed again; and again the king re-

passed a third time, by the decisive vote
Of % TO 20. In reply to this the king
asserted his absolute right to a vote.
Then the storthing passed an act de
claring that this law. having been passed
three times. is the law of the realm
without the kings sanction. The king
and his ministers declared that they
would not recognize the law. In 1892
the king made a speech i'll which he
censured the people, and Teasserted his
absolute right to veto any act. IN
1883 the soothing ordered tho arrest
and trial. upon charges presented by
the odelsthing eff the ministers, eleven in
number before the rigset. The minis
tiers have to he tried singly; and the
conviction of the minister of state is the
result of the first trial. The other tri-
ais will now rapidly follow to like re-
suits: and in Il few months the long con-
test will be ended in the complete tri-
umph of the people. If the king should
still prove obstinate, he can only resort
to unconstitutional measures. In which
case he may be himself impeached and
deposed-a proceeding which has been
more than once threatened already.
The ministers on trial have governed
for a long series of years solely upon
the kings orders, contrary to the de-
cIared wishes of the nation as expressed
through the storthing; hence there is
much rejoicing over their personal
downfall. as well as over the victory for
a constitutional parliamentary form of
government.

A Dangerous Chemical Expert
ment.
Springfield Republican.


An event of considerable interest oc-
cured in the chemical department of
Amherst College Saturday. Once in
three years the experiments is made of
condensing carbonic dioxide. So diff
ficult and dangerous is the undertaking
by this process that it is forbidden by
law in all countries except in the United
States, and probably Amherst is the
only college where it is undertaken.
Two iron cylinders are used, one the
generator the other the receiver.
They resemble howitzers fitted With
strong iron bands and peculiar valves.
Bicarbonate of soda and sulphuric acid
are placed in the generator IN such a
wav as not to ningle until the cylinder
is securely closed. The union OF the sub
stances generates carbonic acid gas with
terrific pressure being about ton to
every four square inches), and this pass
es into the receiver, which is packed in
ice and salt. The process is repeated
twelve times, until the gas III the re-
ceiver is forced by pressure and cold In
to liauid form, When this is allowed
to flow out it evaporates so rapidly that
it forms solid. snow-like mass having
the surprising temperature of lao deg.
below zero.
Mercury poured upon it freezes in
stantly, and the effect of touching it is
about the same as handling red-hot
coal The great danger in the expert
ment arises from the tremendous pres
sure-and thus the liability of a burst
ing cylinder The experiment Satur-
day, which was in charge Of Instructor
Pond aud the senior chemistry division,
was of great interest to the eutire col

Eastern newspapers and ministers are
vigorously dcnouncing what may be
characterized as the extrayagant if not
ridiculous and vulgar display i'll dress
and the accessories and incidents of
funeral occasions in our cities, and to a
greater or less degree throughout the
country generally. The subject is a del
icate one, but thoughtful and influential
people find upon reelection and review
that there Is u call for change in this
direction. \ quaint philosopher once
said 1T is the eyes of other people that
rend and destroy US" and the apothegm
IS painfully applicable in the present
case. A recent writer asserts that our
great funeral ceremonies and professions
are instituted for the qualification of the
living, not as lamentations for the dead.
Propriety and custom say that it is right
and becoming to pay due respect to the
dead But custom is at faultif itrequires
needless sacrifice and extravagant and
senseless display.

There is danger that Chicago will

There is danger that Chicago will
soon lose its position as great lumber
distributing point in the near future. 1t
has been, and is now. the practice of
the northwestern lumbermen to send
their product by water to Chicago,
there yard it, and await its sale. but as
buyers now order by mail or telegraph
without inspecting the the lumber, it is
no logger necessary to pay enormous
towing bills, exhorbitant charges for
dockage and yard and Office room in a
large city. Two or three firms have al
ready dispensed with their Chicago
Yards, and now keep their lumber at
the mills until it is sold, when it is sent
direct to its destination by mail.

Murders Hangs Hi nself in the Joliet
Prison.
Joliet, Ill, Special; Frank Rande hanged
himself to his cell door on the night of the 9TH
inst BY means of his undershirt and suspen-
ders he made rope and fastened them to the
bars of the door He then placed his coat and
vest over the iron work of the door to shield
his body from the chilly touch of the iron and
at the bottom of the door he placed his
cell bucket bottom upward under
which lay his pants to deaden
the sounds of his struggles when dying When
the keeper opened the door in the morning tho
body had very natural appearance except the
face which was rapidly turning black. lester-
day afternoon Warden McCloughrey paida visit
to the cell Of Rande and conversed with the
wretch for a few moments. Rande had not been
informed that Duputy Mcdonald was IN falf
way of recovering, and was under the impress
sion that his cruel blow had killed him Randa
seemed glad to see him, and greeted him with:
''Hello, Major You are just the man | want
to see / want you to send to Peoria for Frank
Hitchcock formerly the sheriff, and to Gales
burg for State Attorney Tannicliff, and when
you three men are here in this cell before me,
/ will tell YOU something wonderful
The warden did not reply to him, but as he
was passing out of the cell Rande called him
back and begged MIN TO take MN Out anu ilhu5
him. 81 cannot do that, Rande; but never fear,
YOU will be hung soon enough, was the reply.
The warden then left him. At 6 o'clock last
evening the guard opened his cell and
At that hour the bandit was pacing up and
down the CELL talking wildly to himself The
supper was placed inside the door and the cell
locked and not opened again until after clock
this morning, when it was discovered that the
brilliant bandit of the Wabash had committed
at least one decent deed during his career, in
ending his life without troubling the officers of
the law Frank Rande's real name was Charles
C. Scott He was born in Pennsylvania in 1889,
his father being Malachi Scott now living at
Fairfield, Iowa, whore he settled thirty years
ago. His wild career of crime is fresh in the
recollection of the public.
