Dethronement of Monarchy.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S-Col. a. A.
Agura, who Is stopping in Washington,
said tonight The assassination OF Cano-
vas will result in the dethronement of the
Spanish monarchy and the freedom OF
Cuba. The people of Spain are ripe for a
revolution being discontented over the high
taxation, which grinds them down 10 pow
erty, and in some cases, to starvation. This
is the beginning of the revolutionary move
ment and is connected with the recent at
tempt on the life of the Queen. There is
great dissatisfaction over the result of the
war in Cuba and to remove CanoVas was
the object of well-laid plans He was the
supporter of Weyler, who was sent to
Cuba by him and kept there by him. The
two divided the spoiis of Cuba and of
Spain.
Il am certain that Canovas will be sue
ceeded by sagasta, his political rival and
the leader of the Liberal party. Sagasta
will undoubtedly take immediate steps to
concilate the Cubans by granting them re-
forms but it will be too late. | expect

PRESIDENTS POWER TO PARDON.

Application having been made to the
President of the United States to par
don Worden, the condemned murderer
of Sam Clarke, the engineer, the act
growing out of the troubles of 1894 in
this city, the question has been asked
of the Record Union by many people
whether the President has the power
to pardon offenders convicted of crime
in State courts. We reply that we have
been unable to discover any authorize
ton of the intervention of the Presi
dent of the Federal Government in
proceedings under State laws, before
State courts. Section of Article II.
of the Constitution of the United States
reads: He" (the President) shall
have power to grant reprieves and par
dons for offenses against the United
States, except in cases of impeach
ment." The words by their affirmative
expression constitute a distinct limita-
tion upon the powers imposed upon the
President. This would therefore seem
to dispose of the question, and settle it
that the President cannot pardon one
convicted in a State court of an Of
fense against State laws.

FACTS OF PROGRESS.

Carol D. Wright, Commissioner OF
the Department of Labor, Washing
ton, and one of the most accomplished
statisticians in the world explodes the
trite phrase, The rich are growing
richer and the poor growing poorer.
He proves by array of facts and fig
ures in an essay in the September AT
lantie Monthly that the fact is as
stated in this phrase, THE rich are
growing richer, many more people than
formerly are growing richer, and the
poor are growing better off,
He proves this to be true by the fol-
lowing well ascertained mathematical
showings concerning the wealth of the
country, by ten-year periods:
