THE QUEENS SPEECH
AT PARLIAMENT
Her Majesty's Address ProrOguing the
Body Until October 81.
TURKEY CAUSED MUCH ANXIETY
the Queen Also Regrets the Cruel
Murders That Have Characterized
the Rebellion in Matabeleland,
House Commended for Providing
Defences, Etc.

London, Aug. 1.-THE Queens speech
proroguing Parliament was delivered to
the House of Commons at 6. 10 this af-
ternoon. The speech says: MY rela-
tions with the powers continue to be
friendly. The hostile movements of the
Dervishes in the valley of the Nile
against the position occupied by Italy
east of that river convinced me that it
was necessary for Egypt to take steps
toward arresting their advance. BY my
advice and sanction an expedition has
undertaken to restore to the govern
ment of the Khedive as far as DongOla,
the territory which was lost a decade
ago. The opera tions of the expedition
are proceeding, and by the brilliant ac-
tion at Fereketa large proportion Of
the territory has already been recov-
cred.
The condition of portions of Turkey
continues to cause anxiety and at pres
ent Crete is the principal centre of the
disturbances. ] have observed strict
neutrality, but in conjunction with the
powers / endeavOred to reconcile the
contestants by proposing system of
government which should be equitable
and Mussulmans.
| regret that serious rebellion, sig
nalized with cruel murders. has broken
out in Matabeleland. the rising having
extended into Mashonaland. The work
of defense and repression has been
undertaken.the settlers displaying great
courage. They have since been REIN
forced by imperial and old troops"
The speech refers to the Matabele
country and expresses hope that the
rebels will shortly accept the clemency
which has been offered to them.
THE INDIAN FRONTIER
referring to the matter Of the delimi-
tation of the Indian frontier the speech
says that the engagements between the
Shah of Persia and the Ameer of
Afghanistan upon the subject are
friendly to the Chitrals. Relief gar
risons sent to Chitral have received
the cooperation of the tribesmen.
Her majesty expresses her thanks to
the house of commons for their provis-
ions and services for the year and con-
cludes by saying that she has given her
consent with pleasure to the measures
for naval defences, for lessening the
agricultural taxes, for the protection
of the cattle from disease and
measures for various other purposes.
including the Irish land bill.
In bidding farewell to the members
of the house her majesty prays they
may receive the blessings of Provi-
dence and rest from their labors.
Parliament was formerly prorouged
to October 81.

AT the Democratic primaries In 1892
more than $500 votes were polled. That
year the Democratic electoral ticket car
ried Ohio county by $50 votes. cleve-
land received 5.22O, Harrison s.Os1. This
year the poll at the Democratic primar-
les is less than $500 votes. There is no
omen Of victory in this. Between 1892
and 1895 came 1894. In that year Ohio
county gave 5000 Republican and 400
Democratic votes. The Republican noml-
nee for Congress carried the county by
1900 over his Democratic competitor.
-Four years ago the situation in Ohio
county was very different from that
which presents itself to-day. Then the
Democrats were hopeful, almost conf
dent Of success. Now their only hope Is
that the Republicans may put up an I'M
popular man or two for local ONCE and
give them a chance to pick up some Of
the crumbs that fall from the table.
They made a great effort to make a
showing at Saturdays primaries for the
moral eject It would have. They have
made their showing, and 1t win have It's
due moral effect. There are not 50
many Democrats in Ohio county as
there used to be. There are more Re
publIcaus. This is a logical reason why
the county Is now Republican and Will
be 80 at the November election.

Der OF Democrats. Il % only a shrwed

It affords the InteIlIgeneer more than
ordinary pleasure to give the Register
some information for which It asl1s-and
which 1t viii not like very well when 1t
gets 1t.
First-It is distinctly not true that
''the Republican committee decided. as
far back as February last" that there
should be an open primary. The min
utes Of the committee show that at the
meeting held February Is the question
was discussed and action thereon post
poned. The decision was not reached
until last week. when 1t was at once an
nouneed.
second-It is not true that certain
candidates obtained knowledge OF the
result and prohted by It in a very d.
cidcd way" There was no result to
know until after the meeting Of last
week. Therefore there was nothing 70
profit by. Moreover an open primary
ballot is as fair to one candidate as to
another The Democratic committee
must think 40; otherwise the Register Is
hound to think that its party adopted
the open ballot to help favored eandi-
dates.
Thlrd-That it'is openly charged by
Republican candidates and others that
the main reason why open primaries
were ordered was that there might he
three hundred thousand tickets printed.

little Job went to the IntelllErncsr"
There IL a reason why we think the Re-

That reason IA that the Register gave

tickets. two dollars per thousand. II
may be compelled to cut that charge Ia
half when It Is confronted with the fact
that the Intelllgencer's price for print

Our Democratic friends cannot ex-
plain away their primary vote Of satur-
day by saying that there was no contest
in their party for sheriff. Why wasn't
there a contest in their party for. the
nomination for sheriff?
It is one OF the best political PLAINS In
West Virginia. When they had the
county their contests for that office were
animated enough. Now the animation
Is on the other side. because that Is the
side that is on top in Ohio county.
Moreover the politicians made a
mighty effort to. get out big vote on
Saturday. They did well with the raw
material they had to work on. The
Democratic vote next November Will
show how well they did It.

In the Register story the money was

Mckinley without being bought and,
