That Basis 'SQuabbIe.

The basis last year, as reported by
the JOURNAL, was 81, 476,073.
Add late Assessors report, in round
figures, $4,000. aud we have
81, 554, 073 gross for this year.
Council took off $4,000, however,
reducing the gross sum to ST ,54l ,O73.
To this they added $1,000. making
the final taxable basis 81, 543, 073, in
stead of 81 500, 4O7, as reported by the
Clerk-a difference in excess of the
true amount of $23 1884.
The JOURNAL, of course, is using
only the figures reported.
1t is evident there is mistake some
where that cannot be to soon corrected.

Never.

The woman who manipulates hand
organ naturally makes a great many
enemies as she journeys over life's un-
even road, but she is adorable when
compared to the female who INDUCES
in vocal as well as Italian music.
The latter generally has voice one
can strike match on, and her favorite
song the other day at Grafton, W.
Va, comprised the couplet:
For when your love has conquered pride and
anger
know that you will call me back again.
Somehow there is something pre-
monitory in these observations of "a
cloud bigger than mans hand" hang
ing over a point just opposite DEVILS
alley.
The cloud looks like section of fog
in deep mourning in premonition of
some sad event.
If it should grow and ultimately
materialize in the funeral of the Ledger
as daily or weekly, or as twins, the
Grafton songstress is certainly wrong
in supposing for moment that we
will call her Frostburg representative
back again.
Our love will never get the upper
hand of pride and anger that way.
And now is a good time to subscribe
for the JOURNAL.

immediate relatives and friends of the
family witnessed this happy event.
The groom is a young man of notable
worth and ability. He has already
more than justified the expectations
of his friends and proven himself equal
to the administration of delicate and
responsible trust. His bride is worthy
of him. A young lady of marked
personal attractions and mental en-
dowments, she has easily won her way
into the high estimation of a host of
friends. To each the omens of happi-
ness and success are propitious, and
the JOURNAL, with all their friends,
would have them richly verified.

SCANDAL IN FRANCE.
1T is, AS USUAL, OF A POLITICAL
NATURE.

A Review of the Revolutions and Con-
tests of n Century-From the Downfall
of the Bourbons Until Now There Has
Been Much Agitation.
If the present scandals III france shall
lead to revolution it will be the tenth
that the country has had in a little more
than 100 years. During that time but
two rulers Of France have been per-
mitJed TO serve out their terms, and the
average duration of rulers in Office has
been less than eight years During the
same period France has had half a
score of constitutions. to say nothing of
important notifications to constitutions
that were not altogether destroyed. In
the same eventful century there We're
half dozen periods of anarchy, and at
every change of rulers there has been ap-
prehension of anarchy or despotisna.
The first and great French revolution,
which brought about tho downfall of
the ancient monarchy and the ruin Of
church and state as they had existed be-
gan III 1889, and the fist French repub-
lie was proclaimed Sept %, 1882. It
was during this epoch that Mirabeau
and Rolespierre gained their fame. Be-
fore the republic was a year old new
constitution was made, and this was re-
placed by another two years later. The
republic was practically destroyed in
1899, when Napoleon Bonaparte became
first consul, and completely SO in 1904
when he became emperor. There had
been two new constitutions meanwhile.

for it is in effect the young Republicans
who have grown up since the war against
the old timers.
The latter indeed represents every
thing old and stanch in Massachusetts,
On both sides he had ancestors among
the first pilgrims. and John Russell, one
of them, bought the ancestral farm
from Captain Miles Standish. Other
pilgrim ancestors were the Cookies
Slocums and Howlands. but in time a
branch of the family became Quaker by
intermarriage and otherwise, and broke
away from the strict Puritans and into
the New Bedford vicinity.
William Wallace Grape is the seventh
in descent from Rufus Grape. founder of
the family in America. and was born in
Dartmouth May 16. 1880, being the only
son in a family Of ten children. His
father. Hon. Henry Rowland Grape.
prospered greatly and invested largely
in Michigan lands. removing to that
state, of which he finally became govern
Or. The son graduated from Yale and
was admitted to practice law in 1855.
and a year later, at the age of twenty
six, was elected a member Of the Massa-
chusetts legislature. After several years
in law practice and attending to the af-
fairs Of his fathers estate Mr. Crapo
was elected to the Forty-forrth CON
gress and reelected three times He
married daughter OF Mr.. George Tap
pan.
During his last term in congress Mr..
Crapo was put forward by his friends
for governor, and IL majority Of the dele
gates chosen were in his favor. when one
OF those puzzling questions arose which
so often confront lawmakers: his vote
was disapproved by many of the dele
gates, and he was refused the nomination.
For awhile he was unknown to the pub
lie, but his private affairs were SO pros
porous that he was soon worth over
million. His temperance is a good
sign. as he is one of those quiet and solid
men whom Massachusetts usually hon
OTIS. His principal fame in congress was
gained when he succeeded General Gar
field at the head Of the banking and cur
rency committee. and fully sustained the
reputation Of his predecessor.
Henry Cabot Lodge, on the other hand,
represents all that is new from light
literature to civil service reform. He
has, however, done much creditable
work in the soIdest kind Of literature

ders. Mrs. jackson POSSESSED Il lovely
disposition and deep personal liety. In
her youth she contracted al! u11fort mate
alliance with one her inferior in every
respect, and from whom she was di-
vorced. The love Of General jackson for
his amiable and interesting wife amount
ed to idolatry, and during his momen-
tous career he never escaped from the
influence she left behind her. He were
her miniature on his seart till bis heath,
and, no matter what his cares or pleas
ures, at the close Of each busy day the
president retired to aquiet room to COM
mune with the portrait and the Bible OF
his dead wife.
Mrs. jackson cared very little for the
honors OF this world and longed fo1
nothing so much as the hour when hcl
husband would finish with politics, for
he assured licr that when that time ar
rived he would become a Christian
When Jackson was elected president his
wife said to those about her: For Mr..
Jackson's sake am glad: for my own I
never wished it. | would rather be 8
doorkeeper in the house Of my God than
to dwell in that palace in Washington :"
1t was while making preparations for
her departure from the dearly loved
Hermitage and the little chapel built by
her husband for her own especial use
that this gentle soul rece ed the rude
shock which caused her death. She was
like mother to every servant on the
estate, and wishing to leave all comfort
a fn1. t,-,, ;,,+o
Nashville to buy supplies and clothing
for those who were dependent on her.
Weary from her shopping she went into
the parlor OF a hotel to rest while waiting
for the family coach to carry her back to
The Hermitage.
Suddenly she heard her name spoken
in an adjoining room and her character
basely and cruelty callnnniated. For
some time she sat there, pale and cold,
listening to accusations against herself
which had been freely circulated during
the campaign, but which her chivalric
husband had carefully kept from her
knowledge. The popular tradition adds
that she was seized with spasmodic dis
ease of the heart, from which a few nights
later she died.
The grief of Jackson was agonizing,
and from that hour he seemed to live
to avenge her wrongs. Probably during
no other administration of the govern
ment has personal feeling entered so
largely into official appointments us i'll
the offices filled by Andrew jackson.
Did he have the slightest suspicion that
a man had neglected to espouse the cause
of his beloved wife he lost no time i'll
removing him. Upon her tomb he caused
her virtues to be enumerated and her
good deeds recited, ending the glowing
tribute with these touching and eloquent
words: "a being SO gentle and so virtu-
GUS slander might wound, but could not
dishonor. Even death, when he bore her
from the arms Of her husband, could but
transport her to the bosom of her God.'

issues to be settled involve almost every
disputable point i'll the organization Of
legislative bodies-some turning upon
the construction of the United States
constitution, and more upon which the
constitution is not explicit, and which
have heretofore depended upon prec-
edent. In five new states the legisla-
lures which are to elect are still in dis
pute, and in five old states, where one
party or the other has decisive major
ity, there are very spirited controversies
as to the men,
In Pennsylvania it appears to be taken
by consent that Matthew Stanley Quay
will succeed himself, although District
Attorney Graham, of Philadelphia, will
probably receive some votes in the
caucus. In New York the standing fac

PRESIDENT HARRISON AND GRANDSON.
surance that Tullia still lived is scene
that touches the universal heart in 1892
as powerfully as in the Augustan age.
Mr.. Cleveland and General Harrison are
to most Americans but as political ab-
stractions, but Baby Ruth and Baby Nc
Kee are known and loved in many do
mestic circle where the questions of pro-
lection and revenue tariff are scarcely
better understood than the Huttonian
theory or the precision of the equinoxes.
It is perhaps q delicate mattar to
touch upon, but surely every American
must feel a certain sort of pride thav in
the very climax of the heat and fury Of
the late political campaign there was a
universal pause and expression of pro-
found sympathy when the beloved lady
of the White House obeyed the last
dread summons. In Great Britain il
was and is the same. The domestic joys
and sorrows of Mr. Gladstone touch
the popular heart, and it is q fact well
worth noting that Mr.. Gladstone and
President Harrison have during all their
political life found their rest and recrea-
tion in the domestic circle. Itis 81 char
acteristic of our greatest men in both
nations.
Mr.. Gladstone has met with many a
bad knockdown, but when the first smart
was over he went home to Kawarden,
chopped down few trees, romped with
his grandchildren and emerged i'll few
days serene and refreshed. Benjamin
Harrison, despite his great ancestry, had
rather hard struggle in early life, but
from the very day when the cultured
and popular Miss Scott, the pride of Ok
ford (O.) schools, gave him her hand and
heart domestic life has been his real
life, and since his grandchild came to
cheer his hours Of WEAKNESS no other in
terest has given him SO much abiding
JOY.
Details like these are not trivial. They
only illustrate that trait which makes

nations of the earth-domcstic life. d J-
