Amclic RiycS the Virginia young woman
who has 50 suddenly attained celebrity il
literary circles, has this pretty little poem
entitled Why in llalpcr'S for May;
Heart of me- why do yuu sigh;
Why droOp your Cycids, pale and shy
Like snuwllakcs that ON ViOletS licy
Why do You sigh, my hearts
Swoctng, wherefore do You weep
TIL the flowers that May winds steep,
When the day hath sunk To sleep,
seem from heads o. dew to peep
why do you weep, my sweet
o, my love, whence comes thy glow.
Like the sunset ON the snow,
Which on your fair face doth show
Why do you blush, my QuecnS
Must | speak your answer, dear
Listen, then, and you will hear
Why you sigh and weep aud blush.
Why, cen now you bid me hush;
Sing, q sing, yC winds that he;
Answer, music of the sea;
spin, old earth of melody
For my one luvcth me

THE POPULAR VOTE.

Is this popular government, OF is it
not? or is it only confederacy of
states? These are the questions raised
by study of the late election returns.
Persons who imagine that the question
of state rights has been eliminated from
national affairs will be undeceiyed when
they look at the election returns and
realize that the popular vote cut no
figure in the election of president.
According to the latest official returns
GROVER CLEVELAND has majority OF
10000 over BENJAMIN HARRISON on
the popular vote, and yet the latter
will be declared elected and inau-
gurated under the peculiar operations
of the electoral college. We have thus
demonstrated to what Importance the
question of states rights is yet elevated.
Gen. HARRISON becomes the president
of the states. and not the president
elected by the people of the, entire
country. Will the time ever come when
the people, the whole people, and none
but the people, will get a square deal in
a presidential election? Until that time
does come we should go little slow in
our Boosting of our peculiar form OF
popular government. If this is nation
with big N, the fact should be en-
phasized by the Immediate adjustment
of that caricature ON the form of repub-
ican government known as the electoral
college.

HAVANA. Dec.6.-Another outrageous
crime has caused CONSERVATION among
the people of Havana. The victim is
one of Havana's most distinguished
ladies. About 2 p. m. Thursday there
appeared at the residence of Don DOM
lingo Olivia. criminal judge for the dis
trict of La Cathedral, at No. "a Havana
street, a negro bearing small writing
desk, richly adorned with red and blue
satin ribbons. and with tiny key at
tached. 1t was addressed to Domingo
Olivia" Handing the package to ser
want, the negro requested that it be de-
livered to Senior Olivia. Then he disap-
peared. The package was set on a par
lOr table, where a few moments later
Mrs. Clotilda Olivia, the judges wife,
and their seventeen-year-Old daughter,
Gabriela, found it and began to admire
it's beauty. The younger lady tried to
open the desk with the little key men
toned above, but she had so little sue
cess that she handed the key over to her
mother, requesting her to try her skill.
Mrs. Olivia accordingly drew the chair
in which she was sitting up to the table
and tried to open the desk, which
seemed jammed in some way. At last
she violently turned the key to the
right, when an explosion similar to the
roar of a cannon took place. and Mrs.
Olivia found herself bathed in blood.
The desk contained an Internal ma
chine, intended, without doubt, to muir
der Olivia. Mrs. Olivia received an ugly
wound, but the doctors hope for recoy-
cry. There is no clue to the perpetra-
tors of the outrage.

OUR INDUSTRIOUS DEAD.

An Ohio congressman has offered
bill providing certain sum of money
to build a memorial of some kind upon
the neglected grave of WILLIAM HENRY
HARRISON, at North Bend, o. The
proper thing for congress to dc would
be to suspend the rules and pass the bill
without the loss of a moments time. 1t
is national disgrace that we pay no
more respect to the memory of our hon
ored dead. For nearly half century
ex-President HARRISON has been sleep
ing under the sod with nothing to
mark his resting place except a plain
marble slab, which is now so weather
beaten that the name on it is scarcely
legible. Another ex-president, JOHN
TYLER, who succeeded to the presi-
Dental Office when Gen. HARRISON
died. also sleeps i'll an unmarked grave.
not even slab OF line above it. We
repeat that it is disgrace to a nation
when it is so forgetful Of what is due to
the memories of its illustriOuS dead.
We have no Westminster in which to
store the ashes of those Of the nations
sons who have achieved fame, but we
can at least rear shaft now and then
to mark the places where they are
buried,

FEMALE oFFICEHoLDERs.

In London systematic and protracted
experiments have been made in the APP
pointment of women to official positions
under the school laws. The women's
organ does not claim that the result
shows unqualified success. 1t says that
a considerable proportion of them have
proven wordy spouters, kept in order
with difficulty, and leaving their work
in committees undone. Others, with
effective training, have done well.
About the only thing notable in the
matter is that sex does not obviate the
necessity of training and discipline in
the discharge of duties that require
method and sedulous attention. The
experience in this country seems to be
similar, as far as the management of
complicated affairs is concerned, but
there is no dissent from the conclusion
that in the less abstruse ranges of in
struction the women have an aptness
and facility in reaching the youthful
mind not so common with men. They
average well, also, as school superin-
tendontS,

CORPORATE POWER.

The reason advanced by Mr.. CANNING
in the alliance meeting for his support
of Gen. WAsHBURN in the senatorial
fight is decidedly novel. He thinks
that man who could evade the railroad
laws and avoid the railroad commission
ers so successfully would be an orna-
ment to the United States senate. There
is bit of biting sarcasm in Mr.. CAN
NING's remarks, SO far as they apply to
the upper branch of congress, that
strikes with singing effect. When VAN
WICK, of Nebraska, made his farewell
speech on the floor of the senate,
he denominated it as a body of
corporation attorneys. 1t is now
getting to be more than that. The SEN
ate is rapidly filing up with corporation
managers. Getting tired of the public
services of their hired men, the own
ers of the corporations and the
partners in the trusts and combines are
seeking the high official places for
themselves. Ii public matters keep on
at the rate they have started, the time
is not far off when none but millionaires
and railroad presidents will be eligible
for office

Charles Bradlaugh's daughter, who died
recently, was buried yesterday in Working
cemetery in a wicker coffin. The inteiment
was unattended. and with the exception of
the silent placing of several Wreaths on

laugh desired to have his daughters remains
cremated, but the retort was being repaired
and the great Radical had to content himself
with the old established mode of disposing
of the dead.

Laborer Burke Testifies to the
Manner of Putting Lords Out of
the Way.
Special to the Globe.
LONDON, Dec. 6.-The Parnell COM
mission resumed its sittings to-day. Il
was announced that Patrick Molloy, the
Fenian who had refused to obey the
subpoena OF the commission to appear
as witness, and who was arrested for
this refusal, had been committed to
prison, and that his testimony would
probably be heard tomorrow. A la
borer named Burke was then called to
the stand. He deposed that at meet
ing of the National league at Clonbar it
was decided that Lord MOuntmOrres
should be done away with. The day
OF the murder man named Sweeny, a
member of the league, asked witness to
assist in the work of doing away with
his lordship. Witness refused. The
same evening another member of the
league said he expected that Lord
Mountmorres would be put out of the
way that night. Subsequently witness
promised Messrs. Murphy, Fallon. Null
roe and Sweeny, four members OF the
league, that he might assist. but missed
them. Later on Mulroe, whose hand
was wounded, said that he had done
away with Lord Meuntmorres. On
cross-eXamination witness stated that
he was unable to swear that the Clon-
bar branch of the National league. be-
fore the murder, might have been Sc
cret society. He had promised that he
Knight assist" because he disliked to
give bad answer. He could not say
that it was owing to an oath he took.
The commission to-day decided to adj
journ from the 14th inst. for one month
instead of from Dec. to Jan. Is, as was
agreed upon Yesterday.

WAHPEToN, OAK, Dec. 6.-MoSt of
the last week of the late term of court
was spent on the breach of promise suit
of Miss Bertha ArnesOn VS.. Christian
Adrienson, the jury being out some
forty hours returned what appeared to
be sort of compromise verdict for
$412.S5. The defendant is worth at
least $4,000, and when the jury brought
in such
A BEGGARLY VERDICT
it staggered most people. who Won
dered how twelve men, good and
true" could do such thing. The jury
admitted the promise to marry-a frac-
ton only having first questioned it.
The fact was strongly impressed upon
the jury that it was not altogether q
matter of wounded feelings and pride
which actuacted the defendant, notwith
standing the fact that the plaintiff paid
her close attention for six months prior
to marrying another woman with whom
he never kept company prior to q
month before marriage-and then only
the day before marriage having placed
every dollars worth of property he had
in the world in the
NAME OF THE WOMAN
he married, but that, on the other hand,
it had been loss of a home, home COM
forts, position in the community and OPP
portunities in the world which plaintiff
had sustained, all on account of the
breach of promise, which actuated her
in the suit. From which cause she con-
fidently looked to the jury to in some
measure award her the damages, she
being an orphan without home and but
few distant relatives in this country,
the defense attesting to the last to the
plaintiffs
GOOD CHARACTER.
The verdict is at variance with the
testimony, with the courts instructions,
if not, indeed, compromise of the
jury'S own best judgment, for clearly,
after the contract is admitted the
plaintiff deserved such damages as her
case warranted under the law. Does
not this verdict tend to sustain the
proposition that the average jury these
days is just about as apt to go wrong as
right? Is not, after all, the jury Sys-
tenn very much of lottery as at present
constituted?

FRIENDLY WITH FRANCE.
Italy Does Not Aspire to Conquests
or Trouble With Her NeighbOr.

ROME, Dec. Gin the senate to-day
Gen. Corti asked what the intentions of
the government were regarding Mas
sowah and for information as to the re-
lations between Italy and France.
Sig. Crispi, the prime minister, in reply
to Gen. Corti's interrogations, said that
the expedition to the Red sea was I'M
dertaken when he was not in power.
Still he did not think the government
would abandon Massowah. Should it
do so. the place would be Immediately
occupied by another power. Italy de-
sired solely to exercise civiliZing mis-
sion. and did not aspire to conquests.
In regard to the relations between
France and Italy Sig. Crispi said:
Our relations with France, which
lately were not entirely satisfactory,
are now not only good, but cordial and
friendly. Nothing justifies the suppo-
sition that a war with France is prob
able or near. Nevertheless, in view of
the situation throughout Europe, Italy
cannot dream OF disarming. On the
contrary, owing to her special position
and her engagements. she must labor to
perfect her armamentS.o
