1t is scarcely likely that the ad-
ministration, which represents the
intelligence of $1,000, 900 of the in
telligent people on earth, would
submit the matters in difference
between this republic and the feted
monarchy of Spain to a man like
William, of Germany. He repre-
sents nearly all that is bad In a
monarch. He believes in the eter-
nal right of kings. He thinks him
self the one divinely appointed to
show by the majesty of his person
and the might of his reign that the
Lord intended that the earth should
be governed by kings. He likes
nothing democratic; the republics
of the world are continual thorn
in his flesh, and yet the Dons have
the presumption to imagine that he
would be acceptable as an arbitrat-
or. The suggestion indicates that
they still have about as much sense
left as they had when they thought
they could whip Uncle Sam.

The COlOred Fraternity has the Largest

There were seven prisoners on
the northbound train this afternoon
for the Moundsville penitentiary.
Five were colored and two were

The "pen" has been having an
unusual influx of prisoners the past
few months, and now has larger
population, so we understand, than
at any time in its history. All
available space is being utilized,
and unless the convictions to this
institution become less frequent,
some other disposition will have to
be made of the prisoners.
