The ohildlikeness Of democracy has reoeiv,
cd a whimsical illustration in Granada. The
Queen Regent of Spain had promised a visit
to that ancieuo city with her son, the baby
King, and the citizens exerte1 themselves to
put up arches, arranged Nominations. and
generally prepared for a grand festival. The
child. however, fell i'll at the excitement Of
the Columbus festival, and after a fortnight
the doctors decided that to expose him while
hardly convalescent, to a second period of ex-
element, was not safe. AS the King inherits
o thoroughly bad constitution, the doctors are
probably right, and the Queen, thoughtful for
the people of Granada, requested tho whole
Cabinet to visit the city. The citizens, how
ever, no sooner heard the news than thew
burst into a paroxysm of fury, tore down the
%trlumphal arches, burnt the octroi Offices
which are munioipal-carried away the ROYAL
stand erected for an unveIling Gel emonv. and
attacked the houses of Conservatives. with
such fury, that the Civic Guard had to use
their arms. In other words. the mob feeling
itself disappointed, destroyed its own property
IN order to give vent to its irritation. Be.
ing lnsultod, as it fancied, it tore it's hair. The
explosion is natural enough but imagine that

Mr.. j. A. Froude, the Professor of modern
history, delivered 'his inaugural l~ecture at
Oxford on Wednesday. He had come back he
said, to Oxford, but no more to the Oxford
which he knew. Kebleand Newman were gone.
and the system which produced such men
was gone with them. Professor Froude 'eyi.
IDENTIFY regretted the old lines of the Oxford
education. Perhaps.he thought the modern
system much too ambitious, eclectic, and va
chatting III Its aims; but, Of course, in an IN
trOductOry lecture to his course on Modern
history, he could not enter on a criticism of
the various new schools and their defects.
He treated Buffers view Of human life as =
state of probation, of the ultimate end of which
we know very little, as "still the most reasona.
able that had yet been offered" He expres-
sed his doubts whether a law of progress in
human life could be discovered. and did not
think the. state of the people in the Middle
Ages so mlser bic as was often asserted. "In
his reading of English history, there was
once a warmer relation between high and low
than there Is at the present time. lie thought
tle heaithlest condition Of human society IS
when the wise rule the ignorant "with equal
handed authority over high and low, rich and
poor" Perhaps SO, if they would only rule
them IN the interests OF the ignorant, and not
IN theIr own interest. But is not selfish caste
rule often much worse than the groplng and
laundering Of popular rule?

less than $50 lives were lost as nearly 100
bodies have already been recovered and
many arc still missing. The property loss
will reach into the millions. At Titusville
it is estimated at $1,50O. 600; at Oil City tho
same; at Corey $3.50, 600; Meadville $780,
600. The country is probably damaged to
the extent of a million more.
A later dispatch from Oil City says the
loss of life will probably reach 200. 1t says
forty-six bodies have been recovered.
Emlenton, another oil town between Oil
City and Titusville. is also reported to have
suffered greatly from the food.

ELECTION IN OREGON.

Congressman. State Officers and Leglsla-
ture Chosen To-Day.
PORTLAND, Ore, June 5.-An election will
be held in this state tomorrow for two
congressman, judge of the supreme court,
attorney general and members of the lie eis-
laturs. The canvass of the congressional
candidates has been made chiefly on the
tariff issue. The coinage question has been
left in the background, save in Baker
county, whore it is thought the free silver
vote will go to the peoples party candidate,
as there is no material difference between
the platforms of the republicans and demo-
Gratis on tho coinage question. In 1890 the
republican plurality ON congressman was
10000. but these figures will likely be re-
duced materially owing to the large vote
which it 10 expected will be cast BY the
peoples party. Chairman Boise, OF the re-
publican state central committee, claims
the republican plurality in the state will be
1900. 1t is estimated the peoples party
will psll 10000 votes in the state. Con-
ser vative democrats claim nothing except
the attorney general.
