the rope might slip away and tumble before
it reached my grasp Secondly, it might,
after all, prove deal too short. 1t had

But at last caught it, and, slipping back
into the room, pulled it after me, yard upon

was nothing to fasten it to but an iron staple
in the door, that meant losing the width of
my cell, some six feet. This, however, must
be risked, and made the end fast, lowered
the other out of the window again, and,
climbing to sitting posture on the window
sill, thrust out my legs over the gulf.

six inches lower. And so, down went.
Minute followed minute, and left me still

If Fastening the general election was aban-
doned Mr.. ParnelI's conviction OF the most
d;scredtabIe conduct and his subsequent def
ance of public opinion have accomplished the
nurnose for which the Unonist conspiracy was
MANNED. The Home Rule cause shares tenn
porariIy in the feproach Of its leader The
English Liberals are disheartened and well-nigh
domoralized. The dulest Prime Minister would
instinctiyelv perceive bis chance for making
a great stroke /; and Lord Salisbury is not a
dull man.
The situation illustrates the striking disad-
vantage under which 81 Her Majesty's Oppose
ton, always labors in England. 1t cannot
choose its own time for appealing to the coun-
try The Home Rule leaders Nave had at least
two favorable seasons for bringing on the
general elections, but they have been unable
TO force the Government to dissolve Paria-
ment. Under the Septennial Act the Govern
ment of the day may have long lease of
mower and be at liberty to select the most
favorable moment for appealing to the con-
stituencies. This is marked advantage; yet
bv remarkable coincidence every recent ad-
ministration which has gone to the country has
been defeated Mr.. Gladstone in 1874, Lord
Beaconsfeld in 1880, Lord Salisbury in 1885
and Mr.. Gladstone in 1886, were each in turn
abandoned by the constituencies to which they
had confidently appealed.

THE DOOM or JCGIRO.

The Supreme Court at Washington upholds
the sentence of Jugigo, and the second execu-
ton by electricity will probably take place
without further interference on the part of
unnamed interests acting through Mr. Roger
VI. Sherman. Every court, including the high
est, before which the constitutonaIity of the
new law has been attacked has sustained it in
language indicating clearly that small respect
was felt for the arguments adduced against il.
While kemmler was awaiting Mr.. Shernans
permission 10 die The question was purely
theoretical. The lawyer who appeared for
him without having been retained by him had
decided in his own mind that death by cleo
trcity must necessarily be cruel mode of
punishment within the meaning of the Con-
stitution. The judges disagreed with him. and
Kemmer was finally executed. Mr. Sherman
then assumed that the punishment had been
proved to be constitutonaly or unoonstitution
ally cruel, we don't know which, and applied
to the SUPREME Court for confirmation Of his

LORD SALISBCRT'S CHANCE.

Lord Salisbury sees light ahead The Par
nell scandal threatening. as it now does to
divide the llome Rule party, offers an oppor-
tunity for appealing TO the country that is TOO
allurng to be neglected. Ii is currently re-
ported in Conservative centres that the annual
elections will be held early next year after a
short session of Parliament. Nj Balfours
graceful compliments to the Liberal nionists
a few nights ago were one of the earliest signs
of an approaching political canvass; and if it
be true that the Conservative associations
throughout the country have received nstruc-
tons to perfect their organization and to agree
upon their most available candidates for Parlia-
ment. the constituencies will soon be exposed
to. the storm and stress of general cleo
ii n. Lord Salisbury. being an adroit tao
tician, will naturally choose moment for dis
solving Parliament when the Opposition is
divided and demoralized. If Mr.. parnell be
bent UPON retaining the leadership, the revolt
of large section of the Liberal party may be
confidently expected. If he be thrust aside
under pressure from Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.
Morley there will be disaffectiOn in the Irish
ranks, not only in the island but also in the
English constituencies. The situation is one
which creates great embarrassment in Home
Rule councils. II would he strange if the Con.
servatves were lacking in the political discern
ment required for taking advantage of the
crisis.
This is undoubtedly the great surprise which
has been darkiiyy limited at in London during the
last week IL was the Unionst plan of cam
paign 10 destroy Mr.. Parnels reputation by
the Pigott disclosures and then to appeal to
the country while personal prejudice against
the Home Rule leader was strongest in Eng

HOLLAND IND LUXEMB URG.

The scandal mOngers have lost one OF their
best subjects by the death of the aged King
of Holland During the greater part OF his
reign he succeeded in making the royal pro-
fession thoroughly disreputable by excuses and
immoralities which shocked the moral sense
of Europe. The only excuse which was ever
offered for his scandalous conduct was that
his first Queen was blue stocking. She is
gratefully remembered as the friend and patron
of Mr.. Motley in his historical studies, whereas
he has been notorious for his vices and his
cynical defiance of the decencies of life. The
King, having an ample private fortune, was
not reduced to the extremity of squandering
the State revenues in his career of riotOus
living He paid for his extravagant presents
to opera singers out of his private purse, and
his subjects were not overtaxed in consequence
of his vices He allowed his Ministers to gov
ern the country in constitutional way, and
took more interest in music than in politics.
Such a sovereign could not leave permanent
impress upon the current thought of his time.
lie could only excite Rabelaisan mirth re-
specting the real usefulness of the royal trade.
The first effect of the succession will be the
separation of the Dnchy of Luxembourg from
the Crown of Holland. This comprises an
area of 1,22S square miles and population of
100000. 1t has been practically German
Province attached to the Kingdom by personal
union, the sovereign being also the Grand
Duke. Princess WiIhelmina, while she can
ascend the throne at the expiration OF the
Regency, cannot under the Salic law take the
Luxembourg title. The Duke of Nassau has al
ready been proclaimed Grand Duke, and the
nominal connection of the Province with the
Netherlands ceases. This succession, which has
been the subject of alarming forecasts for
many years, offers no immediate menace to the
peace of Europe. The proposed purchase Of
Luxembourg by France was frebrand thrown
into the European courts, but the time has
passed when serious disturbance can be caused
by the fate of the border Province. German
influences prevail in Luxembourg, and its alb
sorption by the Empire is only a question of
time
OF greater Importance than the separation
of the Duchy from the Gown of tie Neither
lands is the strengthening of Germany's posi-
ton in the maritime Kingdom. There is only
one life-that Of child, the little Princess
Northumberland the dead King and a
German succession to the exhausted royal
house II the Princess follows to an untimely
grave the aged Kings two siclly boys, Ger
many power and influence over the maritime
Kingdom will be UNNECESSARILY increased. In
forecasts of the Europe of the future the sue
cession to the throne of Holland looms up as
an OminOus uncertainty.
