A CHARGE OF TREASON

The doctrine OF Confucius, since the
fourteenth century, has been the establish
ed creed of the Coreans. Preaching against
the religion may therefore be considered
treason, and the present case, in its effect,
would be considered of the most vital i'm
portanee. Culprits accused of treason and
rebellion are tried by special court called
the Keum- Pou, the members of which are
named by the King. In such case as
this one, therefore, the trial is little more
than empty formahty. Mrs. Heron's case
was investigated and she was finally SEN
fenced to death by deeapitation.
Mrs. Heron was known as the most
beautiful young woman in upper East Ten
nessee, and she bright and intelligent as
she was beautiful Her father died about
year ago He was one of the best known
citizens of W ashington county.

GREAT genii, like green monkeys, are

stop the formation of trusts. A trust is
is an extensive partnership, so exten-

all opposition and create a monopoly OF
the trade in a certain necessity for them
selves. The Standard Oil Co, was the
first great trust" and now comes the su-

talists is trying to buy up the breweries

Elections This Year.

The first year OF National Administra-
ton is always dull one in politics-frst
because of the'reaction following a exciting
Presidential contest, and secondly. because
the laws of the several States do not, as a
rule, select ofr-years for the election of i'm
portant officers.
Nine State elections are to be held this
year In Pennsylvania State Treasurer
will be chosen. Contests in some of the
counties on judicial and county officers
may enliven the election in spots. The Re
publican eandidale for State Treasurer will
be Speaker Boyer, who has no opposition
for the nomination. There is no pronounc-
ed indication who will be the Democratic
candidate Several gentlemen are spoken
of, but the nominee will not be named un-
til the Convention meets.
The other States in which elections oc-
cur are Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio
and Virginia There will be interesting
gubernatorial contests in the three last
named States. In Ohio indications point
to the nomination by the Democrats of ex-
Congressman Campbell for Governor, al
though other aspirants may develop
strength, and become formidable competi
tors at the Dayton Convention in August.
The Republican nomination is Governor
Foraker, who is both popular and strong.
In New Jersey the Democrats will prob
ably nominate Ex-Governor Leon Albeit,
the strongest Democrat in the State. His
success would pave the way at the expira-
ton of his term of office to his subsequent
election to a seat in the Senate ofthe Unit
ed States, which is said to be tthe goal of
his ambition" He was defeated two years
ago although the caucus candidate, by a
bolt and fusion with the Republicans which
sent Mr.. Blodget to the Senate.
Strong efforts will be made, and in fact
are making to bring Virginia into the Re
publican column. Virginia was uncom-
fortably close at the Presidential election.
A Democratic Convention of 1,600 dele
gates has been called to meet at Richmond
next month to make a nomination, and
there is lively contest now in progress
for the honor.
New York elects minor State officers
and full Legislature, this being the year
for a renewal of the State Senate 1t has
always been doubtful State. Already
there are speculations of coalition be-
tween the County Democracy and the Re-
pubhcans to give Tammany a setback.
The braves under the administration of
Mayor Grant have almost supreme control
of the immense patronage of the city. The
citadel of Republican power in New York
is the Legislature.
The other States that hold elections this
year present nothing unusual in their po
litical outlook. On the whole, it is prob
able that in the nine States each party will
hold its own with the United States Sena-
tor in Ohio in doubt-Media 1mericdR.

Republican Party Prospects.

In the Forum for July Senator Morrill,
Of Vermont has an interesting article on
Republican Party Prospects" In open
ing, the Vermont Senator truly says that
the past fidelity and craftsmanship of the
Republican party need no vindication- 1t
il the future, therefore, together with some
Of the many vexed questions which must
be considered, with which it deals.
First comes what he calls the negro
problem which is well illustrated in these
brief sentences: New Hampshire has
two Representatives in Congress and South
Carolina seven. The Presidential vote of
New Hampshire in 1855 was 9O,Sl9 and
that of South Carolina was 1880. Why
should South Carolina, with ii, ,069 less
votes at the polls, have seven electoral
votes and New Hampshire only twof"
This in the most important question
which the Republican party has to face in
the South to-day, and unless the present
administration gives the country decided
measures to prevent the continuance of
this inequality there is likely to be consid
erable irritation in all the northern states,
where the right 10 vote il regarded as the
fundamental principle of government.
The evil that Senator Morrill, refers to is
the driving the negroes from the polls in
the South, while at the same time securing
representation for them, and the abuse can
and should be remedied. Section of the
Fourteenth Amendment to the National
Constitution says:
SEC. III. Representatives shall be ap-
portioned among the several States accord
ing to their respective number, counting
the whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed; but whenever
the right to vote at 8ny election for elec-
tors of President and Vice President, or
for United States Representatives in Con-
gress, executive and judicial offices, or the
members OF the Legislature thereof, is de-
MED 10 any of the male inhabitants of such
State, being twenty-one years of age and
citizens of the United States, or in any way
abridged, except for participation in rebel
lion or other crime, the basis of represen-
tation therein shall be reduced in the pro-
portion which the number of such. male
citizens shall bear to the whole number of
male citizens twenty-one years of age in
such State"
Az appalling loss Of life from the action
of the freakish elements of nature is just
reported from China. An immense water
spout il said to have burst on the morning
of June ., in the Chan Pinges and Ping
