An Incident connected with the present visit
of the Emperor of Germany to England brings
out the same weakness Of royalty. The young
Emperor. it is announced. has just presented
his portrait 10 the Queen as an evidence of
his appreciation of the kindness with which
he has been received in her kingdom. IL
would be thought that William would prefer
to be represented as q soldier in such gift
as it is to remain as permanent possession
of the royal family of England. In this char
acter he would appear in light which cor
rectly reflects his true disposition. His tastes
are warlike. his bearing is martial and he is
the head Of the most magnificent army on the
globe picture of himself. therefore, as
soldier would be eminently appropriate and
becoming.
But this idea does not seem 20 have COM
mended itself to the mind of the Emperor.
He has for the time being fallen into the per-
versty of the Prince of Wales in the charsc-
terizaton Of his portrait, and has presented
likeness of himself to his grandmother in the
costume of an English admiral and standing
upon the bridge of man-of-war in the act of
giving orders to his subordinates.
There is something ludicrous to all minds
but those under monarchIcal influences which
discover nothing absurd in the acts of King.

soldier in his tastes and ambitions. masquer-
aiding in the gorgeous uniform of the highest
officer in the English navy.
1t may be that the Emperor seized upon the
opportunity of this gift to pay a compliment
to the English navy, in which the English peo-
pie take SO much pride, and upon which they
rely for their safety. If this was his OBJ
ject he has reflected indirectly upon the
English army, of which he is known not
TO entertain the very highest opinion in the
point Of general efficiency He should now
remove the bad impression which his par
TALLY has created by presenting to the Prince |
Of Wales portrait of himself as general in |

strike even the English mind as being much
more appropriate than portrait of the Heir
Apparent in the same uniform.

fore Nevada will hardly have enough voters

There are certain peculiarities of ROYALTY
which strike the republican mind as BEING
highly ludicrous, to say the least. Some wears
ago there appeared in the London Graphic a
picture OF the Prince of Wales dressed in the
costume OF cook, the Prince having conde.
scended to become the member of some or.
ganization which represented tho leaders in
the profession of spits and sauce-pans.

private Indebtedness of the country The
idea was conceived by the Census Committee

actual facts in regard TO the concentration of
wealth IN comparatively few hands. Such
showing might be interesting, but it is certain
to encounter much opposition and TO call
forth curses, both loud and deep. on Porter's

One striking result of the recent ATTEMPTS
to show that popular sentiment in Virginia
was against Cleveland was to arouse the peo-
pie and press. and cause them to give un.
mistakable evidence of their preference for
that gentleman. We always said that the
people Of Virginia had an unfortunate habit
OF doing their own thinking, and not permit.
ting few gentlemen, no matter how highly
esteemed, to make up their minds for them.

Nothing is more worthy Of attention in the
growth Of civilization than the gradual modi-
fcation of the methods by which the death
penalty in case of capital crimes has been en-
forced. The idea which prevailed down 10
the present century was that the ter
mination of the felons existence should
be accompanied by all the tortures
that ingenuity could suggest or a steady
nerve could infict. Breaking upon the wheel.
hacking with the executioner's knife were
only few Of the means adopted 10 prolong
the death agony Destruction of life by
straDgulation was male hideous by many
circumstances of horror which could have
been avoided if it had not been desired to
teach a warning lesson to the evil disposed in
the community.
The gullotine was marked advance upon
the methods then in general use, but it was
adopted rather as means of acceerating ex-
ecutiOns than of alleviating the pain of death.
During the present century the spread
of humane ideas has led to much
dissatisfaction with the methods of
extinguishing the lives of criminals
as being unnecessarily cruel The adoption
of electrocution in New York is in response
to this sentiment. and it is not unlikely that
its successful operation in that great and en-
lightened State will be followed by its general
adoption in this country if not abroad.
The question may well present itself Will
the growth in humane feeling. which has re-
suited in the adoption of perfectly painless
method Of disposing of criminals be satisfied
in the end with anything short of the abolition
of capital punishment? This would seem to
be its logical tendency, but whether will pro-
coed TO that conclusion only time will reveal |
