"My beautiful Choolie, / neffer tire
Of luking at your lofely hair
The young couple sat in the elegant
parlor of hotel, enjoying tete-a-tete.
They were on their wedding tour.
Julia Van Slankins, the beautiful Penn
sylvania heiress, who had met the dis
tinguished foreign nobleman, Count de
Bergamot, while on visit TO her'friends
in the metropolis. had yielded to the
impulsive ardor with which the Count
pressed his suit, and after brief court

looked blissful and romantic to the &C.
static young couple, and future full
of rose-embowered vistas, endless
moonlight reveries, and the dreamy
dolce far niente of far away tropical
Edens, whose existence was guessed by
both, but unspoken by either, rose be-
fore their rapturous vision.
The head of the beautiful bride
rested confidingly on the shoulders OF
her husband. the noble Count de Ber-
gamot, and at the sound of his voice
she looked up.
Il am glad, my dear Count" she
said, that my hair pleases you"
Lifting the lovely head from his
shoulder, the noble foreigner ran his
fingers through the wavy masses of her
golden hair for a few moments in ST
lence, and then with deferential, sug-
gestive infection of voice, he absently
said:

Recovering himself as his bride
looked at him with start of surprise.
he drew from his pocket a rather lean
wallet, took bank note from it and
handed it to her.

The fair bride took the note, looked
at the figures that indicated its denom-

shrill voice:

An official, high up in Office in the
State Department, said this evening,
after the contents OF Mr.. Bayard's note
we're reeited to him, that he could not
conceive how men in their sane minds
could calmly canvass the situation for u
week and then arrive at such lame
conclusion. In all the annals OF inter
national law he declared there could not
be found parallel for this act Of the
administration. After laying the whole
matter before the British Government,
this administration virtually takes the
affair in its own hands, and in almost 80
many words, orders the representative
OF the British Government out OF the
country, thereby Offering the grossest
insult to both the representative and his
Government, when the smallest con-
sideration of etiquette should have de-
manded that they at least await the ac-
ton OF the British Government in the
premises.
This official further declared that un-
der the rules governing comfy between
nations the note OF Secretary Bayard was
almost equivalent TO declaration OF
war, and the chances were that the
British Government would declare all
diplomatic intercourse at an end, un:
less an apology were promptly offered
by this Government.

OF course the Cabinet does not mean
to fight England. The attitude of bold
ness will be good enough till after
election. This is not said in any mere
spirit of partisanship. The seizure of
American fishing vessels could be ne
gotiated over for months and the repre-
sentatives OF England could dine and
wine the members OF Congress without
murmur Of disapproval from Mr.. Cleve-
land or Mr.. Bayard. But when an in.
discreet but excusable fit OF hurting out
the truth, on the part OF Lord Sackville,
damages some OF the administrations

Upon the Democratic managers OF the
campaign in West Virginia must fall the
responsibility for putting into the mouth
OF Judge Thurman that which makes
him ridiculous as a political historian.
The opening speech OF the Democratic
nominee for the Vice-Presidency was in
line with the effort of the managers Of
his party in this State to stir up war pre-
judices in the hope of hiding the tariff
issue from the public and inducing men
to vote their prejudiCes instead Of their
opinions. Here is what Judge Thur
man, as reported by the Register, said at
the Capital Rink:
When stood on the reviewing stand
to-day and saw filing before me that
magnificent parade, one OF the greatest
ever beheld cheers and saw the man
ly bearing and happy faces OF the men
who marched in It, | could not but re.
fleet how different was the condition Of
the people OF West Virginia twenty
years ago. could not but look back
over the past and call into mind your
goodly State when was first invited
here by the State committee OF the DEM
ocratiC party, to render such assistance
as might be in my power to bring the
State out from under despotism that
extended over all your borders. Atthat
time at least one.third, il my memory is
correct, OF the white men OF West Vir-
ginia were disfranched in the land on
which they were born. Cries OF Right
Right" and long continued cheers.
This despotism hung over West Virgil
mia. Then the great Democratic party,
that knows no worship except to its
God and freedom, then II was that that
party undertook to make a supreme Of
fort to break the schackles off OF the
people Of West Virginia.
To any one in the least acquainted
with the history OF West Virginia it
is absurd to give the Democratic party
this credit. The memorable "Let.up"
movement was OF Republican origin, in
fact originated in the Wheeling INTgL-
LIGENcRR, which devoted its energy and
columns Of its space to restoring the bal
lot to these misguided men who had
given up it for the ballot in the Conied-
crate States. An appeal in this behalf,
written by Mr.. A. W. Campbell, was
signed by hundred leading Republic
cans. The famous "Flick Amendment"
which restored to citizenship the lately
erring brethren was put through the !
