The sOcialistic victory in Germany

Charles kincaid Washing

Charles Kincaid, Washington cor
respondent OF the Louisville Times,
shot Ex-Congressman Taulbee of Ken
tucky last Friday. The shooting took
place in the corridor of the house,
and WAS the result OF an old erudge,
Kincaid having written something un-
complimentary OF Taulbee when he
was a member OF the house. When
they met, Taulbee, who is a powerful
man, pulled the correspondents nose
and ears. Later Kincaid met Taulbee,
drew a revolver and shot him in the
head. At last accounts the wounded
man was still alive, with a chance for
recovery.

Down near BIRMINGHAM, Alabama,
dwells religious sect known as the

Sl.oO OF the prophet with a promise
Of liquidation on the following day,
yet he and his followers were appar-
emily humble and sincere. The night
before was spent IN prayer and devo-
tiOnal exercises. As the hour ap-
preached for the expiring world to
"throw up the sponge" to pass in
its checks" and come to a quit, great
excitement prevailed. The expectant
fanatics gathered in the woods to
await the judgment hour. Women
tainted or went into Mysteries, while
the religious fervor of the men found
vent in hymns OF praise to the God
they worshiped. At last the sun
touched the meridian, but the world
went spinning around as usual, with
out slipping cog or heating journal;
there was no commotion, except in
the breasts OF the bsnighted fanatics.
The dead did not break the "cerements
OF the tomb" as the preacher prophe-
sled. As night approached the people
lost faith in their prophet and dis
persed. The parson spent the night
in the woods praying for the fulfill
ment OF his prophecy. The old world
will continue to revolve on its axis for
q million years to come. Fortunately
franks come to an end.

PORTRAITS OF VICTORIA.
EngIand's Queen Was Apparently very
Pretty In Her GirIhood.


T, the room known as the Waterloo
chamber hangs the finefull-length portrait
of George ". in his coronation rooes' Dy
Sir Thomas Lawrence. His Naresty Ger;
ta,nlv made bad king, q bad husband, ana
a had father. but he makes an admirable
nicture. He knew how to pose" TO per.
lection. how to show up the symmetry OF
his very handsome legs in their snowy
silkeu hose, and how to turn his head so
as 10 present the best points IN his prohle
fo the spectators. | imagine that the yo-
cation of an artists model was what ne
was best fitted for by nature.
In another room there IS q full-length
portrait of Queen Victoria in her royal
robes paiuted soon after her accession 70
the throne and showing that the grim OLD
dowaper of the present day was a very
charming girl fifty years ago. The pecu,
liar sweetness of the large blue eyes ana
the pretty, rosy mouth, the bloom ana
freshness of the fair young face, ana,
above all, the perfect moulding OF the arms
and shoulders and the graceful neck; MAKE
up a most winning image OF rOyal glri-
hood. Had been Queen Victoria THINK
| would have initiated the example OF one
of the most beautiful of my female con,
temporaries the Empress Elizabeth, OK
Austria would have remained content
with this portrait as my official likeness,
and never would have sat to any painter
again.
But in the Waterloo Chamber there is a
portrait Of the Queen, painted five years
ago. which will show TO posterity what
staid and severe-looking old lady she was
in contrast to the grace and sweetness OF
her youthful likeness. There is, however
one quality about the Queen which IS
never lacking and that is her regal bear,
ing. She looks every inch the Queen y
in the heavy, sombre robes that she wears
to-day, as she doubtless did in the crimson
velvet and ermine, the white satin and
Jewels of her coronation dress.

TTIFsDAY MAY q. 1890,
The Next Speakership.

There seems TO be more Republican than
Democratic concern as TO the speakership
of the next House. There Is one 'hing
very likely. and that is that the House re-
tered 20 will be Democratic by asaie ma
ioritv and with this more than probability
IN view the Democrats can well afford 10
rest on their arms, as they are now DONG
with respect TO the question as TO whlch
particular Democratic leader shall succeed
the nnscrupnIous REED. When the time
comes 10 make choice there will be ample
material 10 select from. The Demo-
cratic party contains the ablest men
NJ the country, and Its leaders.
IN and out Of Congress. are conspicuous
for their fealty to the Constitution, the
more conspicuous by reason OF the extra
constitutional and absolutely unconstitu-
,ional teachings of their political oppo-
neuts. Were the honest people OF the
North. where Radicalism most fiourishes'
not blinded by thor all-absorbing pursuit
NJ the dollar they would see this and be
nrepared TO admit with us that the RepuD-
lcanism they support is but falsely SO
called-is in fact the merest Radlcalism' as
We hive termed il, tending directly to the
destruction Of the genuinely republican
principles Of government handed down 10
us by the Fathers.
There will be not few able Democratic
members of the Fifty-second Congress, any
one of whom will wear worthiiy the robe
of Office as Speaker of the House. The
Democracy will hardly be able to 60 wrong
in making its choice.
The difference between the man 1t Will
select and the present occupant OF the
Speakers chair will be marked. The
Democrat Will D. careful to maintain con-
stitutional principles, will be regardful OF
proper precedent, will be impartial
patriotic in his love of the country AS "a
whole. and statesmanlike in his desire to
serve all sections equally well. What
a contrast such characteristics IN
the chair Will afford to the dis
graceful exhibitions of low political
trickery of the distinctiyely Republican
policy of force, learned by REED in his odu-
cation as a petty boss" and applied so I'M
scrupulously, in response TO party eXigen-
ries. in the high place to which he has been
led by one of those strange mlschances
that mystify mankind because of their ap-
parent unreasonableness. We fancy the
whole country will experience a sense OF
relief and breathe easier when the change
shall take place. 1t will be a sad omen OF
its future if such shall not be the case, at
least.
Our friends the enemy need not concern
themselves at all. When the proper time
comes the Democrats will elect Demo-
cratic successor TO REED aud he will be an
honor to his party and TO the whole coun-
try. At present they are doing wisely IN
doing nothing with respect to "a matter so
far ahead in rrint of time as the election
of Speaker le next House. We COM
mend to tn republicans, as timely for
them, a consideration of the question
whether the passage of their tariff bill IN
it's present monstrous shape, which they
have secured, or after its evisceration by
the Senate, will do their party the more
harm. They are between these two horns
Of dilemma.

Popular Science Mon,hly.l

The physical powers of the lvcosid@. the
poDular running, ground, or wolf spider.
are well illustrated by an instance re-

strength and activity, without any OF tho
mechanical advantages OF snare.

the extraordinary movements OF large

fish was swimming round and round Slow

and made vain effort TO dislodge the
spider by scraping against the under side
OF the leaf.
The two had now closely approached the
bank. Suddenly the long, black legs OF
the spider emerged from the water. and
the hinder ones reached out and fastened
upon the irregularities of the sides of the
ditch. The spider commenced tugging at
his prize IN order TO land II. The observer
ran to the nearef house for wide

the struggle.
During an interval of six or eight
minutes absence the spider had drawn
the fish entirely out Of the water: Then
both creatures had fallen III again, the
bank being nearly perpendicular. There
followed great struggle. and on Mr.;
Springs return the fish was already hoisted

the land. 1t was very much exhausted,
hardly making any movement, and was be-
ing slowly and steadily draw up by the
spider who had evidently gained the VIC

Tho Next Republican Step.

We presume the Republican majority in
the House will proceed now to take the
next step in the general Republican plan
for maintaining control of affairs, and that
is 10 place the machinery for the election
of congressman in the hands of Federal
officials. and so to count out the Demo-
cratic South 20 the extent demanded by
party needs Some such measure rs the
JoDar bill will doubtless be the outcome
of the Republican hatchery. This bill has
been modified no little since its introduce
ton. but it remains intensely partisan.
As reported, il takes away the elections
from State jurisdiction entirely and places
them in control of supervisors, clerks.
marshals, &C.. appointed by the Federal
courts. Is it reasonable to suppose these
officials will be other than Republican by
large majority, that they Will not under
stand exactly why they have nappoint-
ed, or that they will not find many
means Of declaring results in accordance
with the behests of the Republican party
managers Experience answers the ques-
ton clearly enough to induce all Demo-
crats. and particularly the Democracy OF
the South, 20 be on guard, to watch the
willy proceedings of the political enemy,
and be prepared to foil his purposes, in so
far as they may be wrong at every point.
And the proposed Federal election-law is
not only wrong, but outrageous. SO much
30. indeed. that we doubt the possibility OF
it's being forced through Congress even
under the Republican system of sitting
debate. There are citizens even at the
North, and Republicans, who have al
WAYS been accustomed TO having the
States control their own elections, who
know that this has been the custom and
the law from the foundation of the repub-
lie, and who ere indisposed At this late
day to have change made. in
yolving an advance of the principle
Decentralization. simply TO the end that
the Republican party may be retained in
power. These people, or many of them,
are becoming tired Of the extravaganza
and ruthlessness Of the Republican party,
anyhow. and need but little more insis-
tence on their liberation TO have done with
its radical purposes altogether. Counting
on the influence 10 be reasonably expect
ed from the quarter thus indicated, with
the general good sense and conservatism
OF the country at large. it Is safe TO ex-
press decided doubt rs TO the ability OF
the Republican managers TO put through
their new force bill.
