thought to be receiving more of atten-

II is very evident that if the British

The Election.

The Republicans of the Third Con-
pressional District won a decisive vic
tory in Mondays election. Retur u
to midnight indicate that Ex-Governor
Burleigh will have a plurality OF abou'
5000 over his Democratic contemporary
and a majority over all of $500. AS was
expected the vote was light. After the
long continued wet weather OF the past
two months, with the formers every
where behind in their work, II was
known that it would be difhcuit tas"
to induce them upon fair day 10 90
to the polls. especially when the gen
eral impression prevailed among those
of Republican faith that the candidate
of their party was sure to wan IN any
event by substantial plurality. IN
der sueh circumstances the surprise is
not that many of them remained 81
home, but that SO many of them TOOK
the time from pressing work to go To
the polls and register their votes. The
Republican vote shows falling OH
of about 40 per cent. from
last September, but it is evident
that there will not be corresponding
falling off in the size of the Republican
plurality The falling off in the Dem
ocratic vote will exceed SO per cent.
More than ordinary interest centered
in the vote of Augusta from the fact
that both the Republican and Demo-
cratic candidates are residents of THIS
city. The large Republican vote
thrown here and especially the very
handsome endorsement given the Re
publican candidate in his own home
ward. could but be gratifying to him.
and to the members of his party. IN
all of the wards the Republican work
ers nut forth most earnest effort, with
the result that a very handsome pro
portion of the party vote here was
registered al the polls.
The old Third District is indeed a
stronghold of Republicanism, and in
Mondays election, as in Hncse of for
mer years, gave loyal support to the
great principles for which the party
has always stood and in the application
of which to national affairs the country
has enjoyed the greatest growth and
prosperity in its history.

Reign Of EngIand's Queen.

Sixty years ago Monday, June 21st,
Princess Victoria. daughter of the Duke
of Kent and granddaughter of George
III, was proclaimed Queen of Great
Britain and Ireland Her reign is the
longest known in the history of that
country, so that none of her predeces-
sors have been the central figures Of
diamond jubilees, such as all Great
Britain is celebrating this week, as we'll
as British subjects in every quarter of the
globe. 1t is an occasion, too, when
others than those of British allegiance
may rejoice in the marvellous advance
ment which Victoria's reign has wit
messed and to which it has contributed.
Notwithstanding faults, by some
thought inseparable from English rule,
the period of time measured by the
reign of England's queen has been
wonderful in many respects. No pre-
vious sovereign was able to look back
upon such a brilliant epoch, not only
as regards Improvement in govern
ment itself, but almost every phase of
progress. The suffrage has been great
ly extended, the opportunities for edu-
cation have been vastly improved upon,
the conditions of the laboring CLASSES
of British rule. not always with exact
justice, but generally speaking to the
Improvement of the countries ruled
has been remarkable. An empire has
been developed in Southern Asia ana
one of greater extent is in process Of
development in Southern Africa. Brit
ish America and Australia have grown
immensely in population and wealth
and corresponding power. Industrial
development during that time has sur
passed that of all previous time II
many respects.
To all this Queen Victoria has con
tributed only so much as may gool

Her reign has been free from scanda
so far as anything touching herself i;
concerned. In her family, as in he
court, she has set the highest stand
ards and adhered to them. In every
way she has been such a sovereign a!
not only to keep the English peopl
content with monarchical government
but she has commanded the respec

jects. In counsels she has ever beer

Time to pack the trunks once more
And leave the dusty town,
Time to change that thin; pare race
For one more plump ana bro"h'
Time to drop the cares OF HE,
The worries and the ills;
Time to roam the fields again
Ard climb the wooded hills.
Time to soothe the weary brain
Weighed down with toll and care,
Time to rest the tired eyes
With landscapes broad and fair;
Time to shun the noisy streets,
The ceaseless flow OF words,
Time to hear the whisp' ring winds
The singing of the birds.
Time to take light trout rod
And stroll along the brooks
Time to paddle DER the lakes
In search OF shady hooks,
Time to thoroughly enjoy
The country at its best;
Time to leave all cares behind
And take good long rest.
