Death of Mrs. William w. Knight.

The announcement Of the death OF Gertrude
Jordan Knight, wife of William w. Knight and
daughter of Judge Lewis Jordan. will be sad
TO her large circle of friends in this aud other
cities. Mrs. knight had not been we'll for some
time. but 1t only Sunday evening that she
was taken with peritontis. from which death
resulted last evening. Mrs. Knight was the
eldest daughter OF Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Jordan.
and less than two years ago was married To
Mr.. William White knight. formerly OF Phil
adelphia. but resident of this city
for several years. During Mrs. knights earlier
life and since her marriage she has been active
in church and social circles. As young woman
she went with her parents to the First Presby te-
rian Church, and later with Mr.. Knight 10 Christ
y. l.. Church. In social circles she has been n
leader. particularly in the Dramatic Club. where
she was an officer, director OF plays and q par
ticipant. In every line of duty she was faithful.
aud always ready TO bear her share Of the bur
dens. In her home and among her friends she
was q sweet and gentle companion, and court
eous and kindly TO all with whom she came in
contact. Always OF q hospifable nature she
loved to have her friends about her and she
showed by her welcome more than by elaborate
preparation, how much pleasure IL gave her TO
have people with her I'm her home. Those who
knew Gertrude Jordan knight can have naught
hut the happiest and brightest recollections Of
her in all the walks of life where they had asso-
citation. No preparations for the funeral have
Jet been made, the death being SO sudden an I'M
expected.

THE appeal which the Count of Paris
has sent out to the monarchist commit
tees in France, urging them to unite in
an effort which will displace the repub-
lie to make a position for Bourbon
prince. is ridiculously at variance with
the spirit of the age. The French peo-
pie dethroned the ancestor of the Count
because of his incapacity. and twice be-
fore they rebelled against the injustice,
the corruption and the wretchedness
which Bourbon rulers had brought upon
France. Afterward they tried Napoleon
III, but even while he was living de-
ciared for the popular government which
he had stolen from them. France has
made wonderful progress. all things con-
sidered, during the era of the republic.
In fact. all the burdens which France ia
carrying to-day were imposed by the
folly of monarchical rule. Nevertheless.
with these burdens, the French govern
ment has laid the foundations of sys-
tenn of public education and of pro-
gressive local government which may be
profitably studied by the most advanced
nations. The Prince is too late. The
republic. even in the Panama scandals,
has INDICATED itself in that its off Gals
have had the courage to investigate and
punish. But, above all. the drift is to
the tumbling down rather than the build

MUZZLING THE PRESS.

The Philadelphia Times was one of
the Democratic papers that made haste
to declare it's enthusiastic delight over
the rule said to have been made by
President Cleveland that no editors
would be appointed to Office. Such APP
poin sments, it said, were always demor-
alizing, leading. as they did, to a muz-
cling of the press, and Cleveland was
eulogized without stint for his
supposed wisdom and courage in
withstanding the applications and
claims of misguided editors. The
first presidential appointment for
Pennsylvania was that of an editor, who
was given postoffice. A number Of
editors have been appointed since, and
the other day eight of them, including
editor Morss. went in in one batch. The
Times has very little to say now on this
particular subject, but remarks of Mr..
Morss that, as he is understood to have
retired temporarily from active profess
sional work, it may be assumed that the
Sentinel will not be muzzled. This is
very feeble. Most editors who are given
office, especially if such Offices are in a
foreign country, do retire temporarily
from active professional work. White
law Reid did, for one, and Charles En-
DRY Smith for another; but this did not
prevent the repeated assertion by the
Times that the New York Tribune and
the Philadelphia Press were muzzled.
Why is Democratic editor to be judged
by another rule?

wrong to hang such a monster.

The Chicago papers which regard
pool selling as an unmitigated evil are
expressing fears that the Democratic
Legislature will not enact the bill which
has been presented to put an end to
1t. For weeks the measure has been
hung IN. and they ask if the gamblers
have more influence in Democratic
Legislature than have the mass of re-
spectacle people. Judging from what
happened in Indlana's Democratic Legis-
lature, they have.

LATIMER. the Michigan monster who
was found guilty of numbering his
mother and is suspected of having muir
dered his father, was sentenced to i'm
prisonment for life because capital pun
ishment has been abolished in Michigan.
As convict he improved his opportu-
nifty to murder his keeper preliminary
to his escape from prison. Yet there
are sentimentalists who think it is
wrong to hang such monster.

MIR. GOMPERS, chief of the American
Federation of Labor. thinks the recent
decisions of two or three United States
judges regarding strikes and boycotts
are the result of conspiracy, or at least
of concert of action, on their part.
"They show" he says, "that there is an
agreement among judges. or tacit I'M
derstanding to attack the labor organi-
cations OF the country" If Mr.. Gompers
understood the character and methods
of United States judges better he would
not make the mistake of thinking that
their courts are run or their decisions
rendered after the manner Of secret
societies. They may possibly err some
times In the construction of law, but
they do not do so knowingly. and as for
their cOnspiring or caucusing together
against any class of citizens the idea is
too absurd for serious consideration.
Federal judges are not that kind of men.
as MIR. G0mpers would know if circum-
stances had made him better acquainted
with them.
The real reason, no doubt, of the re-
cent decisions is the growing restivc-
ness of the public under the dictation of
labor unions and the forcible interfer-
ence with the rights of corporations'and
individuals. This feeling makes itself
felt through legitimate channels in favor
of legal remedy against the evil re-
ferred TO, and the response is an at
tempt to find the remedy through legal
forms. 1t is in this way that the law
adapts itself to now conditions and
emergencies.

JOHN E. RIsLEY's confirmation as min
lister to Denmark has not stopped the
revelations concerning his past record,
which seems to have a number of bad
spots in it, both personal and profess
sional. One of the latest brought to
light is his connection rs assignee with
the bankrupt estate of one John d. Prou-
ty, of New York. After he had held the
position for some time creditors moved
to have him removed for neglect of
duty in failing to realize on certain as
sets and permitting the bankrupt to
buy up claims. United States District
Judge Wallace ordered his removal.
and in rendering his decision said:
The conduct of the assignee cannot be
vindicated by such loose and meager rea-
sons as he assigns. There Is nc aspect OF
this transaction which suggests theory

proper discretion on the part of the as
