a singular quest has resulted in q
singular find. For some time past M,
Yrlartc has been seeking for the tomb
of Cesar Borgia. There were traditions
to assist, but they seemed, on the whole,
not very trustworthy 1t was known
that Borgia had been buried somewhere
in Navarro. His last years had been
spent AS volunteer in the army Of his
brolhcr,in-luw, who was King OF the
country. But beyond the fact that he
served in the army and was killed by Il
muSkct shot at the siege OF the small
town of Viuna, near the Ebro, nothing
definite was known. Ii seems strange
that Il Prince who found Il Cnronicler in
Marhavcli and vino WAS once the ter
ror OF all Central llay, from the Adria-
tic to the Mediterranean, shUH!d have
passed away with no definite note Ci
where his ashes were inferred. Had he
been an ordinary exile the circumstance
might have been explained NJ. Iriarte
has, however, had strange success. Ma
turalIy tho place where Investigations
should commence was the town where
Borgia lost his life But the search was
fruilless. Then the whole Of Navarro
was made the subject of inquiry The
records OF churches and the archives of
towns were investigated with results
that only misled. At last NJ. Yriartc
came on a clcw. In the presence of the
Judge of the district the street in front
OF the church was ripped up, and there
the collin and the body were found. 1t
is supposed that in some early restora-
ton OF the church n bygonc Bishop Of
the diocese, outraged at finding so bad
q man buried in consecrated ground,
had ordered the coffin to be removed;
but it seems strange that no tradition OF
the circumstance should have fingered
at Viana.

The House of Representatives has
passed a bill granting municipal suf.
frage to women who pay taxes on 5000
assessed property. Should this bill
become law, it will doubtless be
hailed as a triumph by the suffragists,
although the invidious distinctions
which it makes, by recognizing only
material possessions of women as their
qualifications for voting, cannot be
thought to favor the principle at issue.
The more likely ending of the matter
is the slaughter of the bill before it
reaches enactment, this being the
course usually pursued by legislatures
in dealing with the subject.

WHAT IT INDICATES. The present
Congress was in no sense a Cleveland
Congress. 1t distinctly failed to carry
out Clevelaud's most important sLg-
gestions and was VIGOROUSLY out of
sympathy with his reform ideas. The
failure to send back n similar majority
is an indication of popular dissatisfac-
ton with the do-nothing policy of the
last session rather than with the Presi.
dent N. Y. Post.
