Napoleon's Last Omcial Act.

Next day Napoleon performed his last
official act, which was one Of great
courage, both physical and moral. The
national guard in Paris had been reor-
ganized but its officers had never been
thoroughly loyal to the Empire, many
of them being royalists, and some radi-
cal Republicans. Their disaffection had
been heightened by recent events, but
they were nevertheless sumOned to the
Tuileries; the risk was doubled by the
fact that they came armed. Drawn up
in the great chamber known as that of
the marshals, they stood eXpectant; the
great doors were thrown open, and
there entered the Emperor, accom-
panied only by his consort and their
child in the arms of his governess,
Nine. de MOntesquieu. Napoleon an
nounced simply that he was hoping, by
the aid Of God and the valor of his
troops, to drive the enemy beyond the
frontiers. There was silence. Then TAX
ing In one hand that Of the Empress,
and leading forward his child by the
other, he continued, 81 intrust the EN-
press and the King of Rome to the
courage Of the national guard" Still
silence. After moment with sup
pressed emotion, he concluded, "My
wife and my son." No generous-heart-
ed Frenchman could withstand such an
appeal; breaking ranks by spontane-
GUS impulse, the officers started for
ward in mass, and shook the very
walls with their cry, Long live the
Emperor" Many shed tears as they
withdrew In respectful silence, and
that night, on the eve of his departure,
the Emperor received numerously
signed address from the very men
whose loyalty he had hitherto had just
reason to uspect.-Century.

THE CHANGING RATIO.

] he silver advocates uCCldlC bil"C
the present financial strinegncy,
and in fact, all the ills from which
the people now suffer, are caused
bv he so-called characterization of
silver in 1878. If our condition is
not as good now as it was in 1873,
and of course they do not take in
consideration the twenty years OF
prosperity that has been enjoyed
since that time, if our condition is
worse now than it was % years ago
they say it is because silver was
demonetized in 1873, and as rem
edv for these ills they demand the
RECOMMENDATION of silver, that is,
that we shall throw open our minis
to the free and unlimited coinage
of the worlds silver at ratio of
Is to |.
Without discussing the truth or
falsity Of these statements here, we
will refer to the reconciliation Of
silver at a ratio of Is to |, Re-
monetization might be accom-
plisked without loss or serious de-
rangement, if the same conditions
existed now that existed in 1873,
but the value, the production and
other conditions that governed the
ratio of Is to l have now changed.
In 1873, and for 100 years prior
to that time, the natural ratio, that
is, the annual output of the worlds
mines. showed an average ratio OF
the production of gold to silver at
about Is to ]. The commercial or
market value of the two minerals
through all these years maintained
an average ratio something very
near to the natural ratio of Is to |.
During the past twenty years the
greatly increased production of sill
yer has been constantly changing
the natural ratio between silver
and gold, until now the ratio is
about 80 to !.
The com nercial ratio of the two
metals seems to have been gov
erned largely by their relative pro-
auctions, and at the present time
also shows a ratio Of about 30 to /,
Now the free silverites disregard
these new conditions, and the con-
ditions that have always governed
the ratio between silver and gold,
and propose to lcgisIate value to
silver, and make it worth just as
much as it was worth in 1873. TO
do this they propose to make 16
ounces of silver equal in value to l
ounce of gold, when in the markets
of the world it requires 80 ounces
of silver to be equal in value to 1
ounce of gold, The fact still re-
mains to the thoughtful voter that
something cannot be made from
nothing, that values cannot be leg
islated, but are fixed by supply and
demand in the markets of the
world, and no matter what law is
passed declaring that 53 cents
worth Of silver must be north as
much as a gold dollar, the silver
dollar will continue to circulate
under the proposed conditions only
at its bullion value.

CASE OLE GEN. T. R. TANNATT.


ter published in the Review OF
August II, to scold the republican
committee of Whitman county for
prescribing the qualifications OF
voters at the coming primaries, but
fails, even remotely, to state what
qualifications would have met hls
approval.
He asks two questions. First,
"What is republicanism?" Second,
"Who are republicans" We cont
know that he asks these questions
with the expectation ofrecelving an
answer, or simply as a figure of
speech to emphasize the inference
that both can only now be found in
the ranks of Bryan and Altgeld.
However, he can easily find an
answer to his questions by refer
ring to Webster's Una bridged,
which defines republicanism as fol-
lows: 1st,-A republican form or
system of government; 2d-At-
tachment to, or political sympathy
for a republican form of govern
ment; 3d-Tthe principles Of the
republican party. A more elab-
crate answer would require re-
cital of the history of the party.
In the sixties it implied, under
Lincoln, the preservation of the
Union. In the later sixties and
early seventies it meant recon
struction In the later seventies it
meant protection to American in
dustries, and resumption of specie
payments, and so on through the
history Of the party it has meant
justice and progress. Republican,
ism, while controlling the destinies
of the people, has been the synonym
of equality before the law, protec-
ton to each and every man, and to
each and every interest. And so
from time to time as new questions
have arisen, SO has the party from
time to time enunciated its prin-
clples concerning the veXing ques-
tions Of the day, through the
national conventions Of the party
at which all parts of our country
are fairly represented by chosen
delegates.
And now to briefly answer the
second question-"To be attached
to, or in sympathy with the prin-
ciples Of the republican party to-
day" Not in the matter of minute
detail, but as a whole; not as to
each separate plank, but as to the
plank as an entirety.
Stating negatively, republican,
ism is not voting for Bryan and
Sewall or for Bryan and Watson
electors; it is not being in SYM
pathy with and supporting the adj
vocates Of free trade, of reputation,
of anarchy, of revolution or of dis
honor.
The sure freedom of choice, as to
which party man will attach him,
self to and be associated with, be.
longs to each voter and of course to
Gen. Tannatt, and he has no right
to scold, evidently he has chosen.
Neither age, position or assumed
dignity exempt any man from pos,
sible folly, nor does a change Of
opinion set the seal of absolute in
fallibility to the new opinion. Ben

triot to a something else Horace

Duluth Grand Jury Scores Poor Farm and
Hospital Arrangements.
DULUTH, May l6.-The grand jury
has completed its labors and adjourned.
The report has created sensation in
calling attention to the scandalous man
ner in which the bodies Of paupers who
die at the poor farm are buried. In the
fall, says the report, deep trench is
dug, and those who die during the win.
ter are flung into it. When the spring
thaws come, the bodies are all afloat
and hard to identify. The jury recon-
mended that vaults be erected, and that
better system of Identification be
adopted.
St. Luke's hospital was called "veri.
table fire trap and a dangerous place for
the SICK" in the report.
H. R. and e. A. Tinkham, lawyers, and
A. D. Cummings, explorer, were in.
dicted for grand larceny in the first de.
gree for selling some pine land as clear
of incumbrance, when it had mortgage
of $4O0 upon it. J. H. Brigham, an.
other attorney, was indicted for larceny
in the second degree for borrowing $500
on lot which he represented as clear,
when it had 81 900 mortgage upon it.

which the Spanish government would
make in the administration of affairs of

estly discussed between them. The
minister states that liberal as were the
measures of reform held out to Cubans,
by the act of the cortes of March. 1895,
which was prevented from going into
operation, as he contends, solely BY
reason of the actions of the separatists,
they are surpassed by the terms Of the
new act 10 which the queen regent al.
luded in her speech from the throne at
the recent opening of the sessions of the
cortes.
In the Spanish view, Cuba, Under the
operations of the terms of this act would
enjoy a measure Of autonomy compare.
BILE to that enjoyed by the Dominion OF
Canada. The principal obstacle to the
immediate application of these reforms
to the island lies in the indisposition oi
the Spanish government to be placed in
the position of being obliged by feal
of the rebels to make these concessions
but there is reason to believe that this
point may be yielded, and the measure
applied shortly, If it can be shown, per.
haps through the good offices Of the
United States, that the Spanish govern.
ment may do this without the least re-
fection upon the honor Of the nation.

TRIP A RECORD BREAKER.

Bsttleshlp Oregon without a Rival in tho

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, May l6.-On
her official trial trip the battleship Ore
gon made a world d-breaking record of
1878 knots an hour and gained bonus
for it's builders of S175,OOO. The ma
chinery ran smoothly from start to fin
ish and there was not the slightest acci-
dent.
The Oregon covered SO knots, the Of
fetal government course, in 3 hrs. 40
minis. and 4S secs, making the magnifi-
cent average speed for the time over the
course of 1878 knots, or 1885 miles an
hour. This speed places her in the very
front rank Of ships of her class in the
navies of the world, beating the Massa-
chusetts. which has record of 16.l5
knots, and the Indiana, with a record OF
1851 knots. After the trial the Oregon
went through maneuvers for three
hours, all of which time she behaved
beautifully. Irving NJ. Scott, president
of the Union iron works, in speaking OF
the result, said:
"The trial makes the Oregon abso.
lutely unrivaled among the ironclads OF
the world. She beats the Massachu
sets for defense and offense, and only
needed the trial to prove that she can
carry these powers at speed greater
than any of her rivnls. The average
.. speed Of 16. IS knots practically for siz
hours shows beyond question her ability
to sustain great speed for long periods
In every respect her engine performance
was without an equal"
