THE YOUNG QUEEN VICTORIA.
Her SIajesty's Actions on Being Notified of
tho Kings Demise.

tho Kings Demise.
William ~ was dead. The arch
bishop of Canterbury and Lord Conyng-
ham were dispatched to inform the
Princess Victoria of the fact. It was a
warm night in June. The princess was
sleeping in her mothers room, her GUS
tom from childhood, and had to be sum-
moned out of her sleep. The messen-
gers awaited her in the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors
from that which was inhabited by the
Duchess of Kent and her daughter. The
young girl entered alone, in her night
dress, with some loose wrap thrown
hastily about her. The moment she was
addressed as Your majesty" she put
out her hand, ihtimating that the lords
who addressed her were to kiss it and
thereby do homage. Her schooling and
her instincts were admirable from the
first. Self possession combined with
perfect modesty came naturally to her.
A few hours later, at II o'clock in
the morning, the child queen met her
council. In the corridor at Windsor
there is picture which commentaries
the event. Never, it has been said by
an eyewitness, was anything like the
first impression she produced or the
chorus of praise and admiration which
was raised about her manner and be-
havior, certainly not without justice.
Her extreme youth and inexperience
and the ignorance of the world concern
ing her-for she had lived in complete
seclusion-excited interest and curios-
ity.
Asked whether she would enter the
room accompanied by the great officers
of state, she said she would come in
alone. Accordingly when all the lords
of the privy council were assent led the
folding doors were thrown open, and
the queen entered, quite plainly dressed
and in mourning, and took her scat for
the first time, young girl among a
crowd of men, including al the most
famous and powerful of her subjects.
She bowed and read her speech, handed
to her by the prime minister, Lord Mel
bourne, in a clear and firm voice and
then took the oath for the security of
the Church oe Scotland.
Immediately the privy councillors
were sworn, the royal Dukes of Cum
berland and Sussex first by themselves.
1t was observed that as these two old
men, her uncles, knelt before her, swear
ing allegiance, she blushed up to the
eyes, as if she felt the contrast between
their civil and natural relations. HeI
manner was very graceful and engag-
ing, and she kissed them both, and ris-
ing from her chair moved toward the
Duke of Sussex who was too infirm TO
reach her .-Fortnightiy Review.

THE ELECTION IN VERMONT.

Vermont voted yesterday for State
officers The campaign has been al
most wholly without interest, and the
result will have little significance. The
Democratic candidate for Governor
was named on a gold platform, and
was a gold man up to ten days ago.
Then he declared for Bryan and Sewall.
His slowness in repudiating gold irri-
tated the silver men, and his late cham
pionship of Bryan has cost him the
support of many gold men. The party
is, therefore, in bad shape in that State
because it seems to have been neither
fish nor fowl.
The average Republican majority in
Vermont is $4,000. Two years ago it
exceeded 10000. In 1892 it was as low
as 1902, but $4,000 is about the aver
age. There is no reason to believe the
divided Democracy will do anything
there.

Bishop Potter has written new
prayer which the New York Tribune
says was suggested by the political
campaign, and is a prayer for Nc
Kinley's election. Save us from dis
honesty, lawlessness and violence,
from discord and confusion" are the
extracts from the prayer that makes
the Tribune believe that Bishop Potter
has gone into politics in issuing this
prayer. The prayer ought TO be used
by silver men, because it is the dis
honesty of the gold syndicates that
threatens "lawlessness and violence"
and "discord and confusion"
1t is not conceivable that Bishop
Potter would degrade his office by is
suing a political prayer. He declines
to be interviewed. Strange to say,

be indecent for him to issue a prayer

EVEN DONORS SEEK TO MAKE
THEIR GIFTS SPEAK FOR GOLD.

James J. Hill, of Minnesota, gave
$50o,00O for the erection and
endowment of Catholic Semi
nary, and on Friday the priests
presented an address engraved on
four heavy plates of solid silver in
recognition of his liberality. Mr.. Hill,
who is the president of great rail
read. took occasion in his reply to
urge the priests to become the pro-
pagators of the gold standard. 1t was
in wretehed taste, not to speak
more harshly of it. We quote:
II have just come from the East
We hear it said at times that Wall
street and the Eastern banks are
full of gold. They are full, not of
gold, but of fear. On my way from
Buffalo to Chicago | have seen
thousands of men idle. There is
nothing for them to do. Business
is dried up. Within a few weeks
their number will be hundreds of
thousands. What is the matter?
Our country contains the same in-
telligence, the same population,
the same resources as it did five
wears ago. What we need rs conf
dence. We are i'm the presence of
a gathering storm. If it breaks
our condition will be worse than
it was during the darkest days of
the war. In these times when men
lose their Judgment in the heat of
debate, 1T will be at once your
privilege and your duty to speak
words of peace TO the people"
1t will be a cool day in August be-
fore Mr.. Hin induces the Catholic
priests to become champions of the
policy fastened upon ms by English
capitalists. The suggestion of such a
thing shows that 1T is the gold men
who lose their Judgment" and it
is to them the priests and the preach
ers should speak words of peace" In
no ordinary time would a generous
man seek to influence the clergy to
political action upon the occasion of
receiving their thanks for a great
gift.

Chairman Faulkner Says Everything
is Working Smoothly.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 31.-(Spe-
cial to the Baltimore Sun)-Senator
Faulkner, since his return from Chica-
go, is more cheerful over the Demo
cratic prospects than he has hereto
fore been. He says that the three par
ties-the Democratic, as represented
by those that participated in the Chi
cago convention; the silver party,
composed almost entirely of Western
Republicans, and the Populists-are
striving for one end, that is to bring
all the elements of the country's popu-
lation favoring the free and unlimited
coinage of silver into harmonious sup.
port of the silver nominees.
"There have been," the Senator said,
differences of opinion as to how this
result could be best obtained. At
times the situation has been compli-
Gated and the members of the Nation
al Democratic committee have been
subjected to more or less embarrass-
ment by the contentious of different
factions. am able to state, however,
that the situation is freer from compli-
cations at the present time than it has
been since Messrs. Bryan and Sewall
were nominated, and within few days
everything will be working smoothly
in favor of their election. There could
be nothing more absurd" the Senator
continued, ethan the statement that
to conciliate our Populist friends, the
committee will withdraw Mr.. Sewall.
The committee has no right to take
such a step should they desire to do
so. Mr.. Sewall viii remain on the
ticket and will be elected with Mr.
Bryan"

CONFIDENCE" WILL NOT CURE
DEPRESSION AND POVERTY.

Mr.. James ]. Hill, President of the
Great Northern Railway. recently said:
ION my way from Buffalo to Chi
cago have seen thousands of men
idle. There is nothing for them to
do. Business is dried up. Within
a few weeks their numbers will be
hundreds and thousands. What is
the matter?"
His only remedy is confidence"
MeKinley's is 10 double the taxes,
though they are now higher than un-
der the tariff law of 1883. The true diff
ficulty is that under the gold standard,
the appreciation of money and the de-
probation of property has been so
great that men have found it more
profitable TO hoard than to invest in
productive enterprises. With the free
coinage of silver, the appreciation of
the dollar would end, and farms and
factories would be sought after in
stead of gold bonds. As long as the
dollar continues to appreciate, busi-
ness will be dried up" and there can
be no such confidence that will give
remunerative employment to the idle.
Confidence" might cure a mere scare
1t cannot cure the real depression and
depreciation in all lines of business.

COTTON ON A RAMPAGE.

New York, Sept. 1.-The cotton mar
llet went off ON a rampage to-day and
there was one Of The heaviest advances
of the season. Thinking operators
were inclined To move slowly, but there
ere enough local scalpeTs trading TO
make a very active and excited session.
The first call brought out an advance
Of seven to nine points on early
months, and prices ran up steadily
until the late months showed - points
improvements.
Later, December sold mp TO 8o1 and
January 81, which gave general
advance Of ~ points The advance
was made with scarcely a reaction
until about a half hour after the open
ing, when prices fell off about ~
points from the highest.
Early cables from Liverpool report
ed an advance there on contracts of
about points. This was hardly as
good as was expected by local traders.
But q surprise came when the official
cables from Liverpool came in, in
rapid succession, showing an advance
of a half and ! point at a time without
4 downward break until 335 p. m.
when they reported half point de
cline. This turned our market on the
down grade.
There was nothing in the general sit
uation outside Of Liverpool to cause
the enormous advance here and
abroad. The improvement in Liver
pool was said to be in consequence of

Don't let the Republicans who insist
on talking tariff forget that the Nc
Kinley act reduced surplus into a
deficit; that customs revenues were
cut down from 1929, 100000 in 1890 to
SIT, 0OO, 900 in 1892, and $131, 100000 in
1894. Folks who think higher taxes
the remedy will do well to paste these
figures in their hats.
