Who psysa license that be must close his

p,ssRACEyUL CONDUCT.

The Republican, party was shamed,
common deeency outraged and every
American who esteems his citizenship
caused to blush by the disgrsceful con-
duct Of q parcel Of Republican rowdiss
in Washington on the night preceding
the Inauguration Of President Harrison.
These hoodlums, and they were very
numerous, gathered about the White
House and paraded the grounds until
daylight. singing ribald songs and in
sulting President Cleveland and his fam
lily by vulgar expressions. by tapping on
the windows and asking when the oeeu'
pants were going to move out, and BY in
toning political chants. and improyising
coarse and partisan songs. involving the
name OF the President and insulting his
family. Il is amazing. says the Record
Union, that neither the Washington nor
the Federal police interfered. and that
both forces treated the affair as rather
in the line Of practical joking than as
| grossly in violation Of the peace. and
as insulting to the Chief magistrate Of
the nation. 1t is the first instance on
record when an outgoing President wa,
thus subjected to the scurrility Of par
tisan hoodlums.

There is romance and color enough in
the elopement Of Miss Pauline Fuller to
fill a novel. From the time when young
Aubury hired two detectives to protect
him and his brtrothed IRON pursuit to
the moment when the sleepy Milwaukee
Justice Of the Peace rubbed his eyer and
awoke to the fact that he bad married
the daughter Of the Chief Justice Of the
United States to a Chicago sweetheart the
tale will delight all true lovers. OF
course Miss Fuller. as an American girl,
had a right to marry whom she chose.
She obeyed the dictates Of her heart.
But who can count the cost Of these
wild, impulsive marriages. Maybe the
young couple will live to be the hsppiest
pair on earth. We hope so. But a
daughter owes something to the mother
and father who reared her. Too often
the hearts Of parents are wounded
beyond healing by the recklessness with
which young girls give play to their
emotions, rushing blindly. heedlessly
into the solemn contact of matrimony,
rejecting and scorning the loving and
disinterested advice of those whose
lives have been consecrated to their
happiness. The clandestins marriage oil
Miss Fuller simply furnishes another
occasion for warning the youth Of this
country against the serious dangers that
surround elopements.

A Remarkable Record.

The last Grand Jury Of Elko county
impaneled on the 18th day of February,
1889, found true bills of indictment
against eight persons charged with
crime. Five OF these persons have
been tried and convicted, two OF rob-
berry, two OF murder in the first degree,
and one OF incest, and two entered a
plea Of guilty and received their sem
tence. The other case has not been
placed on trial. Thus it appears that
OF the eight persons indicted seven
have been convicted -Independent.-

Of the New York Tribune, for the mis-
sion to France. By this nomination the

to the Republican press a graceful and
deserved recognition. Mr.. Reid is a
Republican Of the intensest type. To
his party loyalty and tact Mr.. Harrison

President does not ignore the man who
