The Duke of Argyl's speech furnished
a certain appropriate intellectual setting
to these purely outward impressions. If
there ever were perfect EN- bodiment OF
the od-time spirit in our politics the Duke
OF Argyll is the man. Lord Salisbury, the
proud and rather gruff master of the House
OF Lords, is with all his rather reactionary
politics Tar more modern example than
the Duke of Argyll. Take away from
and his glow and you have an assemblage
OF qualities which are exactly repro
duced in the Duke. The two men have
been brought up in the same school
OF oratory. They affect the same stately
forms of speech. the classical QUOTA
tions, the sonorous and carefully balanced
sentences. the heavy and yet methOdcal
swing of style. the nicely calculated effects.
Both draw their mental susthnance from
Old World sources, both have lived togethe r
with the same men upon the same grand
stage. The white flowing silvery hair, the
sharp, delicate features, the thin, cooked
nose of the duke are as characteristic in
their way AS the immense forehead, the
hawks eye, the mobile mouth. and the
magnificent pose of the Premier The
difference is that one man has lived and
moved, the other is the mere lost echo of
dead thoughts, buried ideas, forgotten
times. For all this 1t was pleasant to
listen to perhaps the most violent personal
TRADE that has been delivered during the
whole home rule controversy.

Gladstone's. but still exceedingly sweet in

For the rest, the characteristic of the
speech was its extreme license of language.
MIR. Gladstone was treated as IL he were
the devil On earth, the author of every
vile political continuance known TO the
nineteenth century. His motives, his
policy, his inner mind were all subjected
TO q dissection as pitiless as II was irrele-
want. Nothing could have been more char
acteristic of the chamber and of the man
who addressed an extremely sympathetic

spring of the malignant brain the Prime
Minister. National feeling, economic
facts. historic evOlution-all these things
were as nothing. What the nation was
witnessing at this moment was an exam
pie of Mr.. Gladstone's pure fendishness.
Liar, impostor. knave, enemy of his coun-
try, traitor to the empire, curse of British
politics-theSe Were the epithets which,
almost as [ have stated them, overlooked
the Dukes lips concerning the man whom
the people happened to have chosen as
Prime Minister of England and director OF
tue fortunes OF the empire.

ROYAL BONES OF FRANCE.
Agitation Over the Bodies of Ancient
Kings.
New York Sun.


"a few months ago 1t was reported In
of the kings and queens of France were
left neglected in the storerooms of one of
the public buildings Of Paris, and the
Figaro was the first to call. in the name of
decency, for their respectful refinement.
The Vie Contemporaries now takes up the
subject, and gives the first detailed account
of the violation of the royal tombs during
the Reign of Terror.
In the vaults Of the Church of Saint
Denis, resting under the statues which rep
resented them. fifty kings of France and
fifty queens slept the eternal sleep in the
religious peace of the basilica. From
Dagobeat do wn to Francis l, Henry ",
Louis XIII and Louis XIV. the kings all
reposed there in the ancient vaults. The
tombs in the chapels and in the crypt be-
came SO numerous that there was no longer
any room for one more royal corpse when
the revolution burst out.
The convention at first ordered the de-
structi0n of the tombs and afterward the
violation Of the collins. On the 9th of
August, 1793 conducted by the Mayor, the
popuace entered the basillca. This Mayor
was formerly priest. ana sang the "Cadet
Rousselle" and the Hymn to Mars"in
the pulpit in which short time previously
supplied with cords and LADDERS and
were assisted by considerable number
OF workmen. The troop advanced up 10 the
altar, and at first appeared somewhat sur
prised at the act that they were about TO
commit. not having as yet lost all respect
for the sanctty of the place. They en-
tered the chapel called the "Chapel Of the
Charles" where by the side of Du Cues
elm and Louis de Saucorne were the re-
mains Of Charles v and his wife. Charles
VI and Charles VII. They struck with
heavy hammers the ''detested faces of the
tyrants," ard they saluted with shouts Of
Joy the skilIul blows that shattered the
marble to pieces.
Tney would not break the monument of
Turenne because it had not been raised to
the glory OF an upstart king. But they
did not spare that of Du Gaesclin. When
they had finished smashing the stones.
when they had sufficiently, amid roars of
laughter. broken The noses. the fingers, and
the heads of the statues. they resolved 10

Claus Peterson Dies ct a Ripe Age Alter
Residence of 20 Years In the County.

On last Thursday morning Claus
Petersen, n pioneer of this section
and a veteran Of the German army,
after nearly II years of life died
from the effects of a severe attack of
asthma. He was a hearted,
honest tiller of The soil, and had
seen many days of adversely in pi-
oneering through the early years Of
Union county, when crops were by
no means as certain as now, and
the comforts of life were denied to
even the wealthiest. The funeral
took place from the residence, Faith.

sermon. The burial occurred in the
Elk Point cemetery. The deceased
was born on a farm near Jalmel-
lundt, Holstein, Germany, Dec. II,
1922. He remained with his father
until 10 years old when he was ap-
prenticed out in accord with the
German custom of the time. He
remained with his employer for 16
years, moving then to Flensburg,
then quite a city. and engaged in
garden farming. He served from
AS to 80 in the German army, con.
tracing in his marches through the
swamps the disease which finally
ended his life. In the spring oil
1873 he came to America with his
wife, being proceeded by his son
