While the people of the United
States mourn the loss of hero and
a statesman, England is in holiday
attire, and their is great rejoicing
over the marriage of the Princess
Beatrice to Prince Henry, of But
tenburg. The, Princess is the
youngest daughter Of Queen Vic
toria, and the Prince very ordinary
German, of no mark in his own
country. 1t is said that the reason
that the Queen consented to such a
marriage was because it was a very
difficult task to find as many Princes
in Europe as she had daughters.
Very unfortunate indeed. This mar
riage gives occasion to notice that
the Queen has not forgotten in
her old days to be polite. Mr.. Glad
stone was invited to attend the we'd
ding, while on the occasion of
Prince Arthur's marriage he was
never thought of by the Queen.
This change is not because the
Queen is more favorably impressed
with Gladstone now than then, but
his popularity with the people Sc
cured him the royal invitation.

GEN. GRANTS FUNERAL.
The Burial Place Central
Park, Now York.


Gen. U. S. Grant will be buried in
Central Park, in the city of New
York, and will be attended by an
immense throng Of people, anxious
to show their respect and gratitude
for man who has rendered so val
liable services to his country
as to take rank among the chief
defenders of our American institu-
tions. The obsequies will commence
on Mount MeGregor, where he
breathed his last. There in. the
quiet of this cottage a solemn service
will be'sheld fortdhe benefit of his
family, and funeral sermon will be
preached by his friend, the Rev. DR..
Newman, which. will be free from
pomp and pageant! The family will
here be alone to mourn with their
dead as a family, after which the
body Of the old chero will be taken
before the public in order that the
nation may make a demonstration Of
their sorrow, and by pomp and
splendid pageant show their appre-
citation of his public services, and as
well as their love and esteem for him
as man.
The body will lie quietly at the
cottage, in the room where he died,
until next Tuesday, August 4th, at
o'clock P. NJ, when they will leave
Mt McGregor--arrive at Saratoga
at 2 P. NJ; leave Saratoga at 2:30 and
arrive IN Albany at 4:30; leave AL
baby at IL o'clock noon on Wednes-
day, and arrive about 4:3O p. M. in
New York.
In the interval from 4:3O P. NJ of
Tuesday to noon of Wednesday the
remains will lie in state at the CAPITOL,
and from the time Of arrival in New
York on Wednesday afternoon until
Saturday, August Gth, the body will
lie in state at the City Hall. The
public obsequies of the funeral will
take place on Saturday at such time
as the civil authorities may arrange,
and the interment will then follow in |
Park. These arrangements
may be varied.
1t is appropriate that the nation
should express it's sorrow for SO
great and distinguished a man as
Gen. Grant, and the demonstrations
will be grand butsolemn. The mill
tary display will be impressive, and
the display of flowers, weaths, Grape,
emb'ems and badges of mourning
will be as gorgeous as solemn.

The Republicans of this State are
giving themselves much trouble
about the next Senatorial contest. No
stone is left unturned by them in their
efforts to array the Democratic party
against itself. They desire to bring
those in our party who think diff
ferently into deadly combat with
each other, and after we have passed
beyond the point Of agreeing with
ourselves the Republicans hope to
step in and capture the prize. A
wild scheme, but yet stranger things
than this have happened in the
world. So it behooves the Democratic
party to stand united in this coming
contest and acquit themselves honor
ably. OF course nothing would give
the enemy more pleasure than for US
to fail to unite on a man from our
own ranks to be successor to Senator
Camden. Let the Republican press
grow wild predicting that we will
not be able to unite on a man. Let
Mussey give courage to their wild
dreams by an occasional ehusion in
the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
Let them do all this, but let us be
sure, whatever else we may do at
the next meeting Of the Legislature,
to elect a Senator from our own
ranks.

The death of Gen. Grant takes
from the nation ito first citizen and
most distinguished character-one
upon whom greater honors, civic and
military, were bestowed than upon
any man since Washington.
He was the chosen leader in the
nations second struggle for life as
Washington was in the first. The
struggle was as great and the issues
involved, perhaps, greater than those
in which Washington led, but they
required less sacrifice and less gen
eralship than were demanded of
Washington. He led a people who
were full of resources and thorough
ly united and organized in his sup
port. He could not have failed with
reasonable skill in the use of the
means at his command.
The success of the Federal arms
made him the central object upon
which an exultant people were eager
to manifest their gratitude. They
lavished upon him every honor with
in their gift. He bore away from
the field of battle the rewards of
bravery, and sacrifice and general
ship contributed by thousands of
noble lives to the achievement of the
final victory.
His position has thus made him
the conspicuous figure for twenty
years around which so many thrill
ing associations and grateful memo
ries have chung. The whole nation
has been interested in every event of
his life, and has followed with in
tense interest the closing scenes of
his eventful career.
Gen. Grant was not an old man,
but his life was happily prolonged
for twenty years after the close of
the struggle in which he acted so
conspicuous part, and he was per-
mitted to see its fruits mature and
ripen; the work of reconstruction
complete; the old Union firmly estab-
lished; and he laid down to die
amid the sympathies and good will
of united and contented people.

An Honest Robber.

Honest John Sherman declares
that he is proud of the part he took
in the great electoral steal of 1876.
OF course honest John does not
make this announcement without an
object, and of course that object is
to align himself with the spirit of
the Ohio platform. So truly good a
man would never connive at viii
lainy without some sufficient incen.
tive-he would certainly not pro.
claim his completely unless there
was pious penny to be turned by
proclamation. We may be quite
sure that when christian states
man of the John Sherman type com
mits a robbery he is sure of reaping
the usual percentage, and that when
he pleads guilty to the charge he
does so for consideration which
none but the godly ever figure for.
Our vocabulary seems sadly re-
stricted when one comes to speak of
an effrontery so shameless as that
which moved Senator Sherman to
declare his pride in having helped to
fitch the Presidency nine years ago.
TT Caoofov Choro,or mont about A.
world in the moral desha6iue suited
to his character and his acts it
would still be difficult to do him
justice; but to tear off the righteous
cloak, to fatten out the holy smirk
with which he accompanies his most
characteristic transactions-these
are things which complicate the
problem. Fortunately the country
has q pretty just estimate of the in
fanny of the electoral steal of '76
and needs no help in properly stig-
matizing the actors thereto. When,
therefore, Honest John Sherman
proclaims his pride in having belong
ed to the galaxy of burglars who
robbed the people, the victims of
that robbery will know where to
hang him in the gallery without sug.
gestions from us.
1t comforts us to believe, however,
that there are not many States in the
Union where an office seeker would
venture to make such an appeal as
this of Sherman's. We doubt, in
deed, whether there is any other in
which it weuld pay John Sherman.to
make any appeal at ALL Washing
ton Post.

Cleveland's way of doing business
is the topic that now seems open
for discussion both to the press and
polititions. The Mugwumps have
again and again mixed up their war
paint and some have even went so
for as to put it on and make threat
ening gestures with the tomahawk.
The most bitter partisans of his own
party are at times so forgetful as to
threaten to denounce his proceed
ings. These say he is not making
appointments fast enough. The
most conservative of the party fear
that the Administration is making
changes too readily. In the mean
time while all these complaints are
being filed and every man is saying
what the President ought to do and
at the same time every man differing
with his neighbor as to what the
President should do. Mr.. Cleveland
is President, catering to no pitiful
cry of complaint, trying to pacify no
faction but consoles himself by sim
ply trying to do his duty-by doing
right. Granting that he sometimes
does make mistakes that some of the
charges against him are well founded,
is it any more than should be con-
coded to any man especially when
he has as much to do as President
of the United States? There is an
old adage and time attests its truth
fulness to certain extent that,
princes and Presidents never hear
the truth" This accounts for the
few mistakes it is barely possible
the President has made in the first
few months of the Administration
The election in Ohio and New York
this fall will undoubtedly give us an
approximate idea of the strength of
the Administration in those States.
Yet the mere actions of single man
under any circumstances ought not
to have as much to do as it does either
to increase the strength of any party
or to diminish it. The basal and
well-established principals of a
party, and these alone, should deter
mine the strength of party.
While all willingly admit that
Mr. Cleveland is doing what he
thinks to be right and also quite a
large majority of the party saying
he is right let the few who imagine
he is wrong acquiesce for the sake
Of harmony, If for no better reason |

The following is what Gov. Will
son has to say about the railroads
"Yes, the Chesapeake and Ohio will
be compelled to pay the amount of
their back taxes, as there is no re-
course open. The trouble with rail-
roads in this State is that they want
to run the State and things to suit
themselves. A bill ought to be pass
ed in the Legislature preventing any
railroad from carrying goods for a
long distance. As long as such a
thing continues it will hurt the inter-
ests of the country. and especially
West Virginia. The railroads are a
good thing, but they need good
deal of restriction placed upon
them

Elaborate preparations are being
made for the funeral of Gen. Grant
in New York City. The metropolis
of this continent will lend all their
energies to make it an occasion in
appreciation of the honor of having
the remains of Americas most noted
warrior inferred there. The Mayor
of New York City has already ap.
pointed committee of citizens to
raise New York's share of the ex-
pcnse for the erection of National
monument. The first named ON that
committee is Samuel J. Tilden.

Our Centennial.
Step by step the arrangements are
being made for proper celebration
of our centennial anniversary.
The Central Committee met on
Saturday last and began the work
of organization. The responsibility
of organizing the several districts Of
the county was committed to the
resident members of the Central
Committee in the respective districts
They are to call meetings and ar
range for contributing whatever they
can devise, to the program, and they
will come in as districts on the dav
of the celebration and take their
places in the procession. 1t is not
intended to call for contributions of
money from the districts, if it can
be avoided. They will simply raise
what money they can for their own
purposes and pay their own ex-
penses.
A subcommittee was appointed
to prepare the program for the oc-
casion. This will be carefully done
and will become the foundation upon
which the whole matter will be based
and developed. As soon as com
pleted it will be printed and circu-
lated freely throughout the county
and State. 1t will lay out the whole
order of procedure in detail; give
the time and place of the whole order
of exercises; specify all the commit
tees, the marshals, and other officers !;
and so explain the order of process
sion and its component parts that it
may be understood in advance. The
work of arranging the program is
the most important of all, and it is
hoped the committee will give it
due time and consideration. 1t
should exhibit complete organiza-
ton of the whole community. of
the county, and of the visiting dele
cations, and designate the marshals
OF each division. The merchants,
the mechanics, the farmers, and all
industries should be organized under
their respective leaders The old
men and the young men, the old
women and the young women, and
every society and organization
should have their proper places in
the procession, and the program
should designate them. Such a
crowd as will be present ON that day
will become simply mob, unless
directed and controlled by respon-
sible heads. to
1t has been suggested that three
days be given to the celebration.
The first two to be devoted to the
more quiet and literary part of the
event; that on these two days we
listen to the historian and the poet
that the old men meet and have an
experience meeting and the old
women do likewise; that we gather
together the relics for exhibition:
and that on the third day we receive
the visiting delegations and have the
grand procession.
A good deal of work and care, as
well as hearty cooperation by all
citizens will be necessary to make it
success, but the result will COM
pensate for all the trouble incurred.
In the mean time the Central Com
mittee will confer with the f. M. Il
p. Railroad Co., and have an under
standing as to the date when the
road will be open and the rates of
fare to be charged visitors, and due
notice will be given to the public.

Secretary Manning has become
thoroughly convinced that twenty
per cent reduction of the clerks in
his department could be made and
at the same time the efficiency of the
work increased. The Treasury De-
partment as well as all others was
made, under Republican rule, a safe
resting place for all third and fourth
rate district and ward political bos-
SEES whose loyalty to the party
would, in the eyes of the leaders, be
incl eased by giving them a position
where little work was expected and
much money paid. Secretary Man
ming proposes to relieve these gentle
men of their non -onerous duties and
with this their salaries. He pro-
poses to make those employed earn
the money they receive and employ
no more than is necessary to do the
work. This is the kind of reform"
the people of the United States
have been asking for several
wears.

The United States government has
been insulted by the Ecuadorian
government. Santos, a naturalized
American citizen is now being i'm
prisoned by Ecuador Some time
ago our government demanded of
Ecuador the release of Mr.. Santos.
The President of that government
has as yet ignored the communica-
ton. The prisoners property was
seized before he was committed to
Imprisonment. The United States
ought to press its claims until the
man is released. If Ecuador does
not choose to give him up in peace
she may in war. There is nothing
that has a tendency. to arouse a
nation as quick as the unjust i'm
prisonment of one of its citizens. A
government should afford protection
to it's citizens.

now stands. Generations yet UNI
born will look with curious wonder
upon the cottage and furniture where
one of the most noted Generals of
the world breathed his last peaceful
ly and quietly, surrounded by ten
der wife and loving children, min
istering tenderly to his every want.

it should be preserved without any
opportunity or occasion of doubt as
to its gennineness.

She states that the Doctor awoke
about three o'clock in the morning
and called her up and asked for
whisky. She went to a case and
got a glass half filled, which she
gave him. After he took it he
asked where she got it and on be-
ing told, said that it was the wrong
glass. The doctors wife then COM
ing in, said she would get him
what he wanted, which she did,
and soon left his room, going to
her own. An hour later the doc
tor was dead. The body was in
