a Peeress Whose Title weat BACK to ize4.
By the death Of the Dowayer Lady
Falmouth her eldest SON, the present
Lord Falmouth, succeeds to one of the
most venerable titles in the English
peerage. The barony of Le Despencer
was created by writ of summons in 1854.
and the name of Hugh LIE Despencer
was of historic note in the reigns of Ed
ward II and Edward Ill. The barony
being barony by writ was transmissi-
BILE. where male heirs failed, in the fe-
male line. and a succession of heiresses
carried the title of lie Despencer in the
families of Beauchamp. Nevill, Fame
and Stapleton. After three centuries of
abeyance it was revived in favor of Sir
Thomas Stapleton. who became Lord LIE
Despencer in 1888.
The eldest son died in his fathers life
time. leaving an only daughter, Mary
Frances Stapleton. who on her grand
fathers death became Baroness LIE De-
spencer in her own right The little
heiress was then only nine years old,
and she was the only young lady who
ever made her debut in society already
peeress in her own right. Lady LIE
Despencer soon bestowed her hand, her
heart and her beautiful place, Mere
worth. near Maidstone, on young bar
rister, Mr.. Evelyn Boscawen. who short
" after became Lord Falmouth and
lived to be so we'll known in the racing
world
The venerable title of LIE Despencer
thus became merged in the superior
though much more modern dignity of
Viscount Falmouth, and there it must
remain unless some future Lord Fal-
mouth shall have daughters only. In
that case the viscouuty of Falmouth be-
ing like the common run of modern
,peerages. translnissible only in the male
line, will pass to the nearest male heir
If there are more daughters than one
the barony Of LIE Despencer will fan
into abeyance among them, and if there
is only one she will blossom out as Bar
oness LIE Despencer. and if she marries
will carry away the title into her hus-
bands famjly.-London Letter

asuantain Lion. Galore.

. On theiast trip OF L. H. Gaskill into the
region about San Francisquito bay, on
the gulf coast, he saw lions and lynxes
and wildcats enough to stock big me-
nagerie. In one canyon, where his party
was encainped, the burros wandered off
and Mr.. Gaskill started to find them
When about half mile from the camp
he heard them coming tearing down
ahead of him as if the Old Nick himself
was after them, and they dashed on
down toward camp. He knew that some
wild beast had frightened them, and al
though unarned he went on in the hope
of getting a glimpse.
When he had gone a hundred yards
further and had climbed on to large
table rock he was astounded to see four
full grown mountain lions not more
than sixty feet ahead of him, and they
seemed to have seen him first and were
looking straight at him. Mr. Gaskill
remembers distinctly that his hair stood
on end, if ever mans did, but he
doesn't remember all the minute details
of his return to camp-only that he got
there muy pronto. He and his partner
took rifles and went after the lions, but
they had gone That night the burros
were tied unusually secure, but their
occasional snorts and efforts to break
away indicated that the wild animals
were after meat. A blazing fire kept
them at distance
Mr.. Gaskill states that the Mexicans
and Indians living on that part of the
peninsula are in mortal dread of meet
ing lion, as the beasts are in a con-
stantly famished condition, and have
been known to follow men for hours,
awaiting a favorable opportunity to
pounce upon then.-Lower Californian.

Singular capture or a Swan.

John Jordan brought large white
swan to Pendleton the other. day, and
tells queer story as to how he got it.
While near his house, on East Birch
creek, he saw some eagles chasing the
swan in the air above him. The unfor-
tunate bird, in its anxiety to escape, flew
directly over the young mans head, and
with quick spring he managed to seize
and bring it down. the disappointed
eagles flying angrily away.-Portland

THE INFAMY.

Democratic newspapers need not
quote Democratic authority in de-
nouncing the Force Bill, the pet
scheme of the H%arrisonian admins
istration. Henry M. Teller, one
of Colorado's Senators, and a Re-
publican of the deepest dye, in dis
cussing the iniquity in the S,nate,
said:
"I have read that bill with care
and attent on more than twenty
times. | have read it in the light
Of calm consideration. And | re-
peat that lift were presented t. ne
now with the alternative of party
support CIR party dismissal, I should
not vote for the bill. A moro in
famous bill, in my Judgment, never
passed the threshold of the doors
of the Senate. Avowedly in the
interest Of good government, it was
instigated, in my Judgment, by mer
whose interest it was to prevent 6
fall expression of the will Of voters
at the polls".

A FRANK REPUBLICAN EXPIRE
SION.

"Since the Democrats want II,
let us have a Force BSn Issue ;"
says the Milwaukee Sentinel.
The Sentinel is franker than
many of its Repnbli, an contem-
poraries who arc trying to dodge
the Force Bill Issue. 1t is not an
issue, however, of the Democrats
making The Force Bill is a Re-
publican measure, the Republican
candidate is its advocate, his plat
form declares for it, and the suc-
cess Of his party means it's passage.
The Democratic party can do no
less than meet the Issue, which is
fraught with SO much gravity and
Importance to this Southern coun-
try, uor can the Republican party
escape it.
1t is a vital issue in this car.-
paign and upon its defeat or snc'
cess depends the veal or woe Of

TYRANY AND TAXATION.

One of the most potent means
that tyrants have eve used to OPP
press a people is that of taxation;
and the most insidious mean of
over-taxing a people is through
a tariff tax.
Liberty and freedom of inter
course are almost interchangeable
terms, and freedom of intercourse
includes freedom of exchange.
Take the world over and we ven
ture the prediction that in propors
ton to the restraint upon inter
course aud exchange is the restric-
ton upon the liberties of the suhs
ject. This will not only apply to
the different countries of
the world, but to the same coun~
tries at different periods of their
history.
In Germany, where, so far as
we can understand it, there is no
liberty as we know liberty, where
the Emperor seems to override the
wishes and the rights of the peo-
pie at his own sweet will-where
every visitor has to carry a pass
port, and every man in the coune
try is under the surveilanc, of the
police, they have a high protec-
tive tariff. 1t is tue that there
are certain cities in Germany
where there are no restraints on
trade and no protective tariff, but
these,in confirmation of our theory,
are called free cities.
A correspondent of the Courier
Journal. who has been giving to its
readers interesting and accurate
accounts of Russia and Russian
life and customs, mentions incl
dentally, that the wages of artists
who paint pictures to be placed in
their sbrincs earn the mnnificent
sum of $3.50 a week. In Russia,
too, not only is there no liberty,
bat there is actually no such thing
40 q fixed law there, the arbitrary
will of the Gar being exercised in
it's stead.
Germany and Russia are hot
beds of nihiliam, socialism and al
the other isms that have arisen t
scourge mankind and to threatet
ell human liberty.
In the United States where WI
had been wont to think true liberty
had its birth, we venture to sal
that there is to-day, on all sides
less regard for the personal right
of the private citizen, after fhirt,
years of high p.oteetiSs tariff thar

there was at any ti,pe prior to the
war.
The protective tariff and the
suspension os&the writ of ha6eas
corpus were co-eyal. Ard now,
after thirty years OF high protec-
tive tariff, it is little thought
of that the Pinkerton's are let
loose upon harmless and unarmed
workmen at the will of any private
employer. Now, the military, in
stead of the good old common
law posse comStatws, (power of
the county, is relied on in every
emergency.
What is the compensation we
are getting for this restriction upon
our liberties?
During the war it was claimed
that the life of the nation depend
cd upon it, and now it is claimed
that tho prosperity of the nation is
dependent upon it.
As to the first proposition we
will decline to discuss it, as it has
passed into the unknown and the
unkpowable by the lapse of time.
