Of the son; the press, which. though re-
ssricted, had faint semblsnce OF free
dom under the old, was tettered abso-
lutely under the new regime; Siberia,
bad enough always, became the horror
of the century; the Jews, whose lot was
never pleasant one in Russia, became
the subjects Of the most malevolent per-
secution.
With a private citizen the presump-
ton Is for Innocence till guilt is proved;
with q hereditary ruler the chances are
even, but with an absolute ruler, as
pecially = Romanoff, the presumption Is
always that he is despotic. We may.
therefore, with perfect safety, reject all
the excuses made for Alexander III that
be was kept in ignorance OF the horrors
his subjects was carefully concealed
from him, and that he was only cruel
where 1t was &C ruel necessity. That he
was a devoted husband and father Is to
his credit; some of the worst prosecutors
have been so. The hard, cruel fact re-
mains that be reversed all the liberal
movements Of bis father, gave the penal
laws q shaper edge, treated Jews and
Poles with Atrocious cruelty, adopted
the worst features OF so-called panslaV-
ism and to the very last Quarreed Bit

to extingulsh jealousy by making this
younger son king OF Denmark, and he
took the throne November Is, 1868.
His oldest daughter is now Princess OF
Wales, and his second the widowed
Czarlna. His second son Is King George
L, OF Greece. and the other daughter
and two sons are most royalty connect

it is little and not dangerous, is prolific
of royalty.

In religion Alexander III. was h
thorough bigot. He never once doubted
that he was the Lords anointed, ruling
all Russia and her subject prov
inces by divine right, and that Jews,
Srundists, MennOnites, aud others who
did not implicitly obey his directions
were Ia rebellion against God and de-
serving Of little consideration. The Ro-
manoffs have always been given TO a
sort OF brutal devotion, and the natural
bent OF Alexander's mind was iotensi-
fed by the teachings OF his tutor, NJ.

feared chief of the holy synod CT the

There Is 3 good deal Of speculation IS
20 the pace the smart set will take this
winter. The women OF this administra-
tion are not as brilliant as were the
wives OF Mr. Cleveland's first Cabinet
oficers. There has been no success TO

seems greatly changed from the bright,
gay girl when she Was bride. 10 Is no
wonder, for maternity has 3 sObsring
effect upc Almost women and all added
years bring 4 sense Of care. One scarce
Nv dares 70 utter this truth, that as
society leader Mrs. Cleveland has not
come up TO expectations. She is, how
ever, an apparently devoted mother.
But this world expects something as a
due recOmpenss 70 the world for having
elevated ones self and ones husband TO
high position, and Is always laoorinE

That the committees of the Senate
and of the House should confer with
the Secretary of Treasury concerning
the tariff legislation is a matter of
course. 1t has been the practice of
the Government from the time Of
Hamilton to the time of Carlisle.
Walker, when Secretary. drew what
is known as the Walker bill; Chase,
McCulloch and Sherman directed the
course of financial legislation when
they were in the Treasury Depart
ment. The sugar schedule, as it
stands, is not Mr.. Carlisle's and the
administration is not responsible for
it in any way. Bad as this schedule
is, the sugar trust desires TO be "let
alone" that it may derive full benefit
from exclusive privileges conferred by
the Mckinley act.--Louisville Post.

The Industrials.

One General" Jennings led a
division of the Industrial Army
some forty strong into Mt. Sterling
on Thursday afternoon, and tented
them in an open lot just within the
Eastern limits of the town. The
amount Of cold tongue and yet
colder disregard of their appeals
for money and clothes they receiv-
ed here did not warrant the
"Army" in staying with us loug, so
Sunday saw it resume its march in
the direction of Owingsville. The
"Hoosier Kid" and General Jen-
nings each treated the people to
several long-winded speeches de-
tialing what the industrial Army"
wanted to do. One thing they
made clear, they did not want to
do viz: work. That was offered
them, but they frankly stated they
did not want to work. We have
heard Of no accessionsE Ito their
ranks from thisspoint.

The monument erected to the mem
DRY of the soldiers and sailors of the
Confederacy was unveiled at Rich
mond, Va, on Wednesday, and Gen
Rosser and Rev. r. G.. Cave, of St
Louis, each made addresses, in which
they We'd with one another as t.
which could make the bigger fool OF
himself. Rosser we knew in our
boyhood days, and we see age and
much bitter experience have moi
added to his discretion, quality for
which he was never notably conspic-
uous. Mr.. Cave some years ago
blazed out for himself way to noto-
riety by leading division in the
First Christian church of st. Louis
and carrying off with him large, in
fuentiai and wealthy portion of the
membership. The particular phase OF
Mr.. Caves heresy, that he made most
prominent and which was most Of
tensive to the people with whom he
affiliated, was that while acknowledge
ing the Divinity of the Father, he de-
MED the Divinity of the Christ. He
succeeded in winning for himself
some considerable degree of notoriety,
and since that has begun to fade he
must needs seek some new field in
which it will be possible to secure q
renewal of the much desired article.
We allow no one to surpass us in
reverence for the soldier who followed
the losing fortunes of the Southern
Cross. No one believes more firmly
in the principles for which he fought,
but this does not make the man who
stood in the opposing ranks any whit
the less honest in his convictions, or
any the less brave or true to the cause
for which he poured out his hearts
red blood. Such mouthings as Ros-
ser and Cave INDUCED in are seldom
heard from men who themselves faced
their foemen on field of battle. The
valor of the dead Southron stands on
too firm foundation and is too clear
Iy outlined against Heavens bright
glory land to need for a background
The black cloud that comes from de-
flaming the brave man of the North
who crossed swords or bayonets with
him in that dread four years struggle.
To the rear with all such as Rosser
and Cave on the one side and few
ike-fools on the other.
