The shah was the eighteenth sovereign
or head of a state assassinated in this
century. 1t was the Emperor Paul,
murdered in 1901 by palace conspirators
who led off. Next came the Sultan Sc
linn, in 1903. There was then long in
terval, extending to 1881, when Capo-
distrias, president of the provisional
government of Greece, was shot at and
then dispatched by blow from yata-
CHAN at Nauplia At the end of another
interval. extending to 1854, the Duke
of Parma was assassinated.
The turn Of transatlantic presidents
began with the president Of Hayti, in
1859. The South American series in
cluded Colonel Balta, president of Peru,
in 1879; Moreno, president Of Ecuador,
in the same year, and his successor,
Guttierez, in 1878. President Lincoln
was the first North American president
to be assassinated Abdul Aziz was
bled TO death in warm bath in 1874 I;
President Garfield was shot in 1880
and Alexander | blown up in 1881.
Carnot was murdered in the midst of
civic festivity at Lyons. The queen of
Korea was the last TO be added to the
black list. Four deys Of Algiers We're

Probably the most remarkable army
division in the world is the Foreign le-
gion Of France. Ii is this legion which
is invariably sent into the greatest dan
ger Whenever there are hardships to
be borne to which the French authori-
ties do not care to expose the regular
troops, the Foreign legion is invariably
designated for the purpose.
Naturally the question arises. Why is
this so?
The character of the men who fill its
ranks is the explanation.
Almost without exception they are
men who. while brave beyond question.
have a past which they wish to bury.
Many of them are serving under incog-
nitos and place no value upon their
lives. Fully 80 per cent are foreigners,
adventures and refugees.
A writer states that in one company
he has found Roumanian prince who
was under suspicion of having murder
ed his brother; an Italian lieutenant
colonel Of cavalry, bearing an illustri-
Gus name, who had been dismissed from
King Humbert's army in disgrace. in
consequence of being found cheating at
cards; Russian nihilist who escaped
from Siberia; an ex-canon Of the Cathe-
dral of Notre Dame at Paris, who had
been suspended from his ecclesiastical
functions in consequence of an offense
committed against public morality; an
English ex-captain of the rife brigade,
and German count who had not only
served as lieutenant in the first regi-
ment of guards at Berlin, but who had
also held position on the staff of the
late German emperor. - London Tit

The diplomatic service has some
times been assailed in congress as a
p lrely ornamental one; and while the
evident necessity of maintaining the
service is such as ought to save it from
the des,ructionists, it is quite true that
our diplomatic relations with some of
the powers are more ceremonious than
practical. But we must be equipped
and prepared for emel gencies, and
every now and then, even at the small
est and most remote courts, there is a
critical need of an American represent
alive to protect American citizens or
American interests .-EX- President Har-
rison in July LddieS' Home Journal.

Protection Must Protect.

No one says anything about the Nc.
Kinley tariff being too radical any
more.
This is right if the correspondent re-
fers to those half hearted protectionists
who invariably vince under Democratic
criticism and say that Mckinley rates
may" have been too high. We are
sorry to admit that few of these eva
sionists are still to be found in both
branches of congress. But they had
nothing to say about Mckinley rates
being too high in 1892. They cannot
be "too high" to exclude foreign prod
ucts that are similar in character to our
own products.

Cleveland and the Silver Flood.

Cleveland and the Silver Flood.
From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat
There are several reasons why the
president makes no attempt to check
the silver wave which threatens to
to swamp his party in the coming
canvass. First, he is Invested of the
resources, the public patronage,
which enabled him to force many sill
yer democrats over to his side in the
fight to repeal the Sherman law in
1898; secondly, the element to which
he belongs is respondent, and per-
haps some of this feeling has seized
him; thirdly, he is pretty we'll assur-
ed by this time that considerable
part Of this silver craze is simply an
expression OF personal resentment
towards himself The last named
reason for silverism is odd, but there
is no doubt that it exists. When
the average democrat turns against
Cleveland, either from failure to get
an office or for any other reason or
for no reason, he begins to howl for
free silver.
When the president began his as
sault on the Sherman law in 1898 he
had fine collection of offices of all
sorts at his disposal, and for each Of
fee there were at least ten apph
cants. The senators and representa-
tlves who wanted to control these
offices and the "hungry and thirsty"
crowd who were scrambling to get
into them found that semblance of
devotion to sound money would help
their chances. This influence had
great effect. Nobody ever saw so
manv conversions before or since in
so short a time, either in politics or
religion, as were made on the silver
question between the opening of the
extra session in August, 1898, and
the passage of the repeal bill in the
senate in October. BY lightning
transformation which was altogether
unique in politics, Daniel w. Voor-
bees who before and afterwards was
a 16 to ! man of the ultra Bland
school, became for the time an eX-
tremer champion of the gold standard
than Grover Cleveland himself or
John Sherman.
The $4,000 places which the presi-
dent by his various extensions of the
civil service classified list in the past
three years has taken out of politics
have deprived him of a weapon
which he could use with some effect
in fighting the silver folly. The of
fees are filled, and their incumbents
have a virtual assurance that they
can hang on to them during life or
good behavior. The army ofauxiliaries
has stacked its guns and has gone
out of the fight The marvellous
conversions of three years ago are no
longer possible. Neither Senator
Voorhees, nor any other free coiner
can ever again be forced to take the
road to Damascus.

The foreign manufacturers do not con.

because the party stands for doctrine

The second night Of the e'Henderson Drum
Corps third annual reunion and lawn fete
at the 14th Street Park was even more en-
joyable and profitable than the first night
Although it rained a great deal of the
time. there was a very large crowd pres
ent, and the pavilion afforded sufficient ac-
commodatons for all. The organizations
present were the Canton Potomac Drum
Corps and Field Band, Victor Drum Corps
and the Union Veteran Legion. Mr.. Trout
man of the Union Vetera3 Legion, On be-
half Of the Henderson Drum Corps, well
coined the different organizations with an
appropriate speech, which was answered
by Mr.. Mclean Of the Canton Potomacs
There was plenty of music throughout the
evening. and afterward the people were
given some funny and interesting selec-
items by Mr.. West Berner. This evening
there will be several organizations present,
among them the 5th Battalion, National
Guard two divisions of Knights Of Pythias
and the Conn Drum Corps. AS this is the

it will probably be the most enjoyable night
of the lawn fete. Music will be in attend

EXCURSIONS.

The Grand Lodge Of the Royal Arcanum
gave Its annual excursion yesterday to
Marshall Hall and about a thousand mem
bers and their families and friends took
the outing. The event was the nineteenth
anniversary of the order and was probably
the most successful excursion ever given
by the organization. The committee in
charge Of the outing from the Grand Lodge
consisted of Messrs. Hayes, chairman; Brig
ham and Chase. All of the amusements at
the Hall were tested to their full capacity
and bowling contest was inaugurated be-
tween teams chosen from the subordinate e
lodges. The River Queen and Manchester
were both pressed into service to carry the
crowd, and the last trip was made little
before midnight.
A joint excursion was given to River
View yesterday by the Sunday schools Of
the Epiphany and Zion Lutheran Churches
1t is estimated that 1,SO0 people took part
in the outing, and about three-fourths of
that number enjoyed the new amusement,
in this vicinity at least. of shooting the
chute" Although intermittent showers fell
during the day, they did not in the least
spoil the pleasure of the little ones and
their older friends.
The Wednesday trips to beautiful River
View were never more popular than they
are this season, and In spite of the bad
weather yesterday a crowd of 1900 visited
the View. "Chuting" parties to River View
are becoming more and more popular and
every evening large numbers Of young
people have merry time shooting the
chute"
Mr.. Frank Carlin gave "chuting'' party
to River View last night, having for his
guests Misses Emma Holtzclaw, Lizzie
