Trampled to Death by the Crowd.

Moscow, May 30.-The popular fete
of the coronation ceremonies, at which
between 400, 900 and 500, 900 people were
fed and INDUCED in all sorts of merry
making was held to-day and was the
scene of the first fatalities that have
marked the coronation festivities. The
crowds became so dense and so eager
to obtain access to the free food that
men, women and children were thrown
down and trampled upon and many
were either badly injured or killed,
while others had their lives crushed
out of them by the fearful pressure of
the vast crowd. The police and mill
tary finally succeeded in scattering the
multitude, when it was found that
number of persons had been killed.
The feast was held in the presence of
the Car and distinguished company
who occupied seats in large pavilion.
Upon the great Hodynsky Plain, besides
the multitude of people who enjoyed
the hospitality of the city, were en-
camped vast army of soldiers which
the emperor will review on June 7th,
the last day of the festivities. In the
space directly In front of the palace
were booths, tables, open air theatres,
merry 60 rounds, circuses, swings, etc.,
almost innumerable. Surrounding these
were hundreds of booths filed with
bread, cakes, sausages, meat pies,
caviare, etc., and in each booth was an
immense cask of malt liquor or mead,
the food and drink being free to all.
Throughout the night there was con.
slant stream of people making their
way to the plain, and 80 dense mass
of humanity was never before witnessed
in Russia. While the crush was most
intense and the curses, shrieks and
bowls of pain were at their height, an
unknown woman was delivered of a
child on the field and the mother and
infant were trampled to death.

As BEER is a popular and cheep
drink, and is less injurious than spirits,
the proposition to increase the tax on
it was very properly defeated. But as
the republican, poses as the thigh
moral party of the country" and pre-
tends to believe that any sort of drink
is injurious to morals, and in New York
prevents people from drinking a glass OF
beer on Sunday, the fact that the pro-
posed increase of tax referred to was
defeated by the votes of republican
Senators, is noticeable, though by no
means STRANGE.

SHENANDOAH COUNTY has declared
for the gold standard Of value, that is,
for the binding obligation of precuni-
ary contracts. That is just what it
should have done. But, a few years
ago, Shenandoah was one of the chief

supplied Virginia with one of her two

subject referred to. "How strange

OPTIMIsTs say the world is grow
ing better, meaning that the NOR
ais and manners of people are improv-
ing; but those who say so are evidently
unfamiliar with the history of human
nature in the past, and that they don't
know any thing at all about what is
going on Immediately before their eyes,
is made plain by the fact that the Gov
ernor of Illinois has been compelled to
send large military force to East st.
Louis, to protect the grief stricken peo-
pie thereof from the gangs of villainous
wretches who have availed themselves
of the opportunities afforded by the
present distress of that city, to rob and
outrage them. All history, ancient
and modern, proves that it is the fear
of punishment, and not the love OF
good, that restraints human nature from
indulging its natural beastly instincts.

and private, no one has ever dared TO
utter n whisper against. And this,
in my opinion, will be the meaning
of the term McKinleyism, as it goes
down the years. and fastens itself
on the pages os history"
The meaning of the word "McKin-
leyism" is in the minds of many,
both republicans and democrats, very
different from what it was In 1891.
Then "McKinieyism' was an oppro-
brious term. Now it is one of honor
and commentator. Democrats as
we'll as republicans revere it. All
opposition to McKinley's nomination
has vanished. Our democratic friends
may yet conclude to do graceful
and most sensible thing; make no
nomination, leaving his election to
be without opposition.
