Queen Mary's Jester.

John Haywood, the poet and
dramatist, sometimes styled "the Epi-
grammatist,'' was jester to Queen
Mary. He had been a great favorite
with her father King Henry Will, to
whose court he was introduced by Slr
Thomas Moore, and his acquaintance
with Mary was from her childhood. In
those early days he contributed consid-
erably to the little Princess amuse-
ment. He was manager of juvenile
company that played before her; he
composed songs for her, sometimes
making himself the subject, and on her
eighteenth birthday he wrote poem
in her honor in which she was fiat
teringly described.
On her marriage with Phillip he COM
posed a ballad for her; and at her
coronation, when the grand procession,
headed by the new Queen clad in blue
velvet and seated in her gilded chariot
drawn by six horses, approached the
palace, her old friend Haywood greeted
her with an grafton.
Heywood'S influence with this NOR
bid and sullen Queen was most hap
py, and was undoubtedly due to long
association and pleasant memories. He
was often summoned to cheer her with
his music and wit, and her last ILL
ness was lightened by his songs, reei-
tations and readings from his plays.
His merriments were so irresistible
that they moved even the rigid mus
cles of Queen Mary says one old
writer, "and her sullen solemnity was
not proof against his songs, his rhymes
and his jests. Amelia Wofford, in St.
Nicholas

An association has been formed in
San Francisco which has the indorse-
ment and support Of the Grand Army
and of leading educators and prominent
citizens to form leagues throughout the
State to raise means by small contri-
buttons to secure the erection in Golden
Gate Park, San Francisco, of a suitable
monument TO Abraham Lincoln. The
Lincoln Monument League proceeds
upon the idea that this State should
have such a monument, and that it
should be the result of general contri-
buttons by all the people. To this end
it is striving to have branch leagues
formed in all the towns and counties
The branch leagues, it contends, will be
valuable IN cultivating patriotic spirit

The people of the State Of Nevada
would be less than human Of they did
not voice their Indignation over the
outrageous and brutal lynching at Ge-
noa the other night. 1T cannot be said
that the lynchers had a particle of ex-
cuse. The man they butchered and
hanged had been indicted and was Sc
curely held for trial, and there was not
the slightest fear entertained that JUS
tice would go aIniss in his case. There
was grave question concerning his
guilt. 1t was held that he had acted in
self -Iefense. At any rate, there was
except it's insane and brutal anger.
There is nothing in the story Of the
case to indicate that the people of the
section had lost confidence in the
any unreasonable delay of trial or Of
execution if guilt was fastened upon
the prisoner. The mob came, it ap-
pears, from a small town that rivals
the county seat, and between which
there is a bad feeling. How far that
spirit Of rivalry and envy entered into
the assassination cannot be known, but
the belief is freely expressed that it
had some part in the brutal affair. If
the people of Nevada are true to them
selves, and wish to command the re-
spect Of their fellows, they will ferret
out the perpetrators of the diabolical
deed, and bring at least the chiefs to
justice, no matter how prominent"
they may be in the town of Gardner

INCOME AND OUTGo.

The Democratic, the free silver and
the Populist press are all now diligently
eHgaged-whether by re-arrangement
or not-in pointing out with many a
sneer, and many a forecast of trouble
10 come soon. that the Government is
current expenditures. In every case the
deficit is charged to the operation of
the Dingley bill. With singular incon-
sistency, however while one group of
these papers charges it to vital defects
IN the system Of the bill, another
charges with equal force that it is due
to the too strict and protective opera
ton OF the measure. In the one case it
is a high protective bill, in the other
1t is not sufficiently revenue producing
because it does not sufficiently protect.
Let the fair-minded look at the mat
ter calmly. Those who have knowledge
of governmental experiments of that or
der, knew from the outset that the
Dingley bill would require considerable
time to become fully effective. The stocks
that were imported in anticipation of
the passage of the bill largely became
factors in the case. They must be dis
posed of before imports will become
what they may be expected to reach.
At the same time the nation has vastly
enlarged its expense account. So much
augmented is the outlay of the Govern
ment that taxation cannot keep pace
with it and be bearable.
The demands upon the public Treasu
ry must be greatly abated, or our bal
ance sheet will be deal worse off than
It is now. The pension list is the chief of
the items of concern 1t is enormous.
This year it will reach the highest fig
ure it has ever attained, namely $150,-
100000 This it is shown will be equiv
alent to adding 60,000,00 year to the
public debt so long as that great pension
total shows up.
There is a very heavy outlay going on
also in outfitting coast defenses, in fin
ishing the new navy, and in similar nee
eSSdIy NOTkS. 1NEFe was eAlIdOTullldTy
expenditures because Of the Mississippi
River floods, and in addition the de-
mands from all quarters for money for
public works has been excessive, and
most of it has prevailed.
The people should understand clearly
that our expenditures are exceeding our
income right along, because of the ex-
traordinary demands made upon the
Treasury, and that no tariff bill could
be possibly expected to meet such de-
mand, unless the pension list is cut in
two, and no one thinks of that. 1t is
not at all surprising, therefore, that
with the indisposition of the people to
invite the levy of further taxes, the
bonded debt Of the country should con-
tinue to increase, as it will until the pen
sion list begins to fall off, though the
operation of the new revenue bill, when
free, will relieve the strain somewhat
