The death of Emperor Frederick William
of Germany ends one of the saddest royal
tragedies of our time. Dying daily before
he took the government, dying daily after
he took it, with no possibility Of relief, he
did his duty up to the last day with firm
ness and with unbounded love for the Ger
man people. His son and successor, Will
liam II, comes to the throne under cloud
of distrust of not only his people but the
whole of Europe. Young, ambitious, vain +,
spurred by morbid desire to hide a per-
sonal deformlty about which he is very
sensitive, under golden cloud of military
glory, all Europe eyes him as a disturber
of the peace only awaiting his opportuni-
ty. HIS addresses to the army and navy
on ascending the throne, in which he iter-
ates, in an hour of profound peace in
Europe, the advantage of being lever pre-
pared to shed our hearts blood for the
honor of the German flag" are not likely
to reassure the public mind of Europe. 1t
is now of greater Importance to Germany
than it has been in the last quarter of a
century that Bismark should not die. 1t
may be reserved for this young man, ap-
parently so we'll fitted by temperament to
the task, to give Europe that provocation
which may result in one of those gigantic
combinations of nations against Germany
which will leave her transformed again
into petty States, and powerless. Ger
m my has been supreme before and fallen,
and it may be this young mans mission
to make history repeat itself.

The bandanna celebration of the young
Democrats, last week, so disturbed our
Republican neighbor of the Valley Vir-
qinidn at his anxious watch at the bedside
of the Republican party in Virginia, that
it confused his conclusions about the st.
Louis platform. In one article he de-
nounces it this way:
The st. Louis convention adopted plat
form that is designed to catch all shades of
opinion on the tariff question. 1t is the most
transparent straddle and shallow deception
that was ever attempted by party.
And in another article in the same
issue of the paper he declares that:
1t is in effect, presenting Mr.. Cleveland's
message and the Mills bill as the platforms
plain, unequivocal committal to free trade
The platform is for free trade; Mr.. Cleveland
is free trader and Mr.. Thurman is likewise
a disciple of that anti-American doctrine.
And this is the position the Democracy in
1888 is committed to and will have to answer
for.
Now, where is the likeness between a
transparent straddle," and "a plain, IN
equivocal committal?" 1t cannot be both j..
The old bandanna seems to be getting in
its work early.

Looking back at the last three Republi-
can conventions we see some narrow
escapes from the nomination. In 1876, at
Cincinnati, 1t took 379 votes to nominate
and on the first ballot Blaine cane within IS
votes of It, There were four ballots only,
and he increased on every ballot. But the
friends of Conkling of New York and
Morton of Indiana went to Hayes of Ohio,
(who had started with 65). and on the 4th
and last ballot gave him 3S4 votes, just
more than the required number. And even
then he only beat Blaine by SO votes
At Chicago; in 1880. it took 37S to nomi-
nate. Grant started with 304 and Blaine
with 2S4. There were SO ballots, and on the
last Blaine threw his strength to Garfield
and nominated him. Garfield got 1893, while
Grants memorable '3O6' held to their
leader 10 the last.
Again, at Chicago in 1884. it took 41O
votes to nominate. Blaine started with
334a and Arthur of New York with 27S
There were four ballots, and on the last
ballot the friends of Edmunds, Logan and
Sherman all went to Blaine, giving him
Sal. Arthur on the last ballot had 2O7.

nomination are Col Chas. T. O'Ferrall.

In his Twenty Years in Congress-" ex-
Senator James G.. Blaine wrote of ex-Sen-
ator Allen e. Thurman az follows:
| Ellis rank in the Senate was established
from the day he took his seat, and was never
lowered during the period of his services. He
was admirably disciplined deLater was
| fair in his method of statement, logical in his
argument, honest in his conclusions. He had
no trick In discussion, no catch phrases to Sc
| cure attention, but was always direct and
manly. His mind was not preoccupied and
, engrossed with political contests or with af-
lalfs OF state. lie nad natural ana cultivated
tastes outside of those fields He was q dis
eliminating reader, and enjoyed not only Sc
rious books, but inclined also to the lighter
| indulgence Of romance and poetry. He was
| especially fond of the best French writer's
He loved Molliere and Racine, and could
quote with rare enjoyment the humorous
scenes depicted by Balzac. He took pleasure
in the drama and was devoted to music. In
Washington he could usually be found in the
best seat of the theatre when good play was
to be presented or an opera was to be given.
These tastes illustrate the genial side of his
nature, and were a fitting complement to
the stronger and sterner elements of the man.
His retirement from the Senate was serious
loss to his party-a loss, indeed, to the body.
He left behind him the respect of all with
whom he had been associated during his
twelve years Of honorable service"

THE SAME OLD DISMAL PRO-
PHECIES.

PHECIES.
The VaLley Virginian is afflicted with
return of it's dismal visions of 1884, when
Cleveland was candidate on the Chicago
platform. This sounds like it might be
four years old. but we cut it from an
editorial in its issue of last week:
1t will be for the people to say whether
they will endorse policy that would close
the workshops and the furnaces of the United
States and invite widespread ruin, or whether
they will sustain the present industrial sys-
tenn, which gives employment to home labor
builds up home market and adds wealth and
strength to our country, making it indepen-
dent industriously as well as politically.
Now let US contrast this extract from a
speech delivered here last week by Mr.. FL.
st. Geo. Tucker, to show how fruitless
all those forebodings of evil proved when
our neighbor used them before:
1t was said four years ago in Allegheny
county in my hearing by distinguished Re-
publican, that if Cleveland were elected, the
furnaces of that gallant little county would go
out of blast and her interests be destroyed
but after he was elected, and so soon as the
owners of the great Low-Moor works were
reasonably sure the Republicans could not
steal his seat from him, another great plant
was erected by the side of the old one. twin
sisters of progress, each yying with the other
in giving the lie to the assertion, in the ever
increasing output of the precious metal.
(Applause.)
All this powder about closing the work
shops and furnaces was burned in 1884,
and in the light of Cleveland's admins
tration can't be burned again in 1888. The
Republican party must get something new
if it has the remotest hope of carrying the
election in Notwithstanding that the
people haven't had dinned in their ears
before, and afterwards seen exploded as
mere campaign harangues. The Republi-
can party must rise to the situation of the
country; of its great interests; and of the
paramount Importance of pointing to
some practicable way to reduce the sur
plus in the Treasury and TO avoid creating
another by taking the peoples money out
of their pockets. This ism It the campaign
of 'S4; Cleveland is not running for the
first time; the Democratic party has been
In power four years and the old bugaboo
about what it would do if it got in is over
and ended. It is in. and to get it out there
must be some proposition made to the peo-
pie by the Republican PARTY. some higher
exhibition of craftsmanship by the Re-
publican leaders than mere dismal cam
paign clamor. The Republican party and
the Democratic party have both pledged to
the people that the present surplus all
60, and that the excess of revenue now
going increasingly into the Treasury shall
be checked. The Democratic party has
given the country its plan, now let the
Republican party give its. But if it has
none, don't substitute exploded prophecies
of ruin to the country for one. The time
for that is over.
